Princess Is Glamorous In Modern Day Chapter 1146 - The Princess's Beauty, Strength,

Chapter 1146: The Princess’s Beauty, Strength, Handsome, and Magic

Xia Wanyuan carefully looked at the safety amulet in her hand again. It was the most ordinary style, but the words on it made Xia Wanyuan’s heart surge.

This flick was very similar to the literary habits of the scholars of the Great Xia Dynasty. The ancient charm was filled with familiar details.

“Where did you buy this thing?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Lu Li and handed her the safety amulet.

“It’s at the night market. Sister Xia, if you like it, I’ll buy another pile for you?” Lu Li glanced at the safety amulet. Other than the words being quite beautiful, there was nothing special about it. Why did it suddenly attract Xia Wanyuan’s interest?

“Bring me there.” Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled where these things came from.

Last year, when they went to Han Country for a university exchange, a scholar from Han Country had taken out one or two cultural relics that were similar to the style of the Great Xia Dynasty, but Xia Wanyuan could tell at a glance that they were fake.

Her dynasty had never appeared in the history books of this era, so much so that Xia Wanyuan had always felt that this was two parallel universes. The dynasty she had lived in in her previous life did not exist in this era’s history.

However, the words on these safety amulets surprised her. They were too similar.

In the history of China, there were indeed similarities between various dynasties, but the similarity in calligraphy habits made her begin to suspect that the dynasty she had lived in had once appeared in this land.

It was already late at night, and the night market was bustling. Lu Li brought Xia Wanyuan through the crowd and headed to the place where she had bought the safety amulet.

However, there were really many people in the night market. The two of them were squeezed in the crowd and could not move much.

“Wow, why are there so many people? There aren’t many left in the hands of the vendor who sold the safety amulet just now. If we continue to be in this jam, what if that vendor leaves?” Looking at the long stream of people, Lu Li was extremely worried.

At this moment, an old lady selling candy beside her saw how anxious Lu Li was and waved at her. “Young lady, where are you rus.h.i.+ng to?”

Lu Li told her where the vendor was.

The old lady trembled as she moved her stall open. “Go past me. Do you see that? There’s an alley inside. You can take a shortcut.”

Lu Li hurriedly thanked the old lady. “Thank you so much!!”

The old lady waved her hand and revealed her remaining teeth. “It’s nothing. Seeing how anxious you are, there must be something important. Go.”

With that, Lu Li and Xia Wanyuan took a shortcut west.

When they arrived at the place where Lu Li bought things, as expected, there was no one at the stall.

“Brother, where’s the person who just sold the safety amulet?” Xia Wanyuan looked at the pancake seller.

“I don’t know.” Meeting Xia Wanyuan’s cold eyes, the pancake man inexplicably blushed. He shook his head. “The vendors here are all random. I don’t know them either. Yesterday, there was a potato pancake seller here.”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes.

Lu Li walked around the stall and suddenly saw a small pendant left behind. “Sister Xia, look, this little rabbit is so cute.”

Xia Wanyuan walked over and took the small pendant in her hand. The confusion in her eyes deepened.

There was a little rabbit drawn on the surface of the small pendant. This rabbit seemed to have been hand-drawn.

And she was certain that this rabbit had been drawn according to her painting.

Furthermore, it was not a painting she had created in the modern world. It was from her previous life.

In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had raised a snow-white rabbit. That rabbit had a congenital illness and had a bamboo-like birthmark at the corner of one eye.

Almost no one knew this detail. After she arrived in the modern world, she had never drawn such a rabbit again.

The rabbit on the small pendant in front of her had a very small birthmark at the corner of its eye.

Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt inexplicably emotional.

So, did the era I lived in really exist in history? Did that mean that I could find a lot of information about that time?

However, when she saw the empty stall, Xia Wanyuan was a little depressed.

There were many people in the night market here, and because it was set up in a relatively remote place, there were no cameras installed.

It was basically a needle in a haystack to find the vendor.

Xia Wanyuan wanted to find evidence of her existence for no other reason than to know how the entire Great Xia Dynasty had developed after her death.

What was the situation of my younger siblings? Why did this dynasty disappear in history? What happened back then?

These could only be answered after finding historical materials related to the Xia Dynasty.

Now, there was hope first, and then it disappeared. Xia Wanyuan’s heart was a little empty.

“Sister Xia, are you okay?” Lu Li watched from the side and felt that Xia Wanyuan was suddenly inexplicably depressed. She was worried that something had happened to her.

“I’m fine.” Xia Wanyuan shook her head. “Let’s go back.”

Everything was predestined. Xia Wanyuan felt that perhaps the time was not right.

“Oh, okay.” Lu Li carefully followed Xia Wanyuan, a little worried about her.

The two of them returned the way they came. There were still many people coming and going, so Lu Li could only stick close to Xia Wanyuan to protect her.

They walked to a place not far from the old lady selling candy.

Lu Li suddenly exclaimed, pulling Xia Wanyuan out of her thoughts.

“Sister Xia, look at that old lady.”

Not far away, the old lady selling candy who had just helped them was sitting behind the stall counting money. Beside her stood a child wearing many layers of patches.

Now, the child was looking at the barbecue next door eagerly, drooling.

The granny opened her handkerchief layer by layer. When she flipped to the innermost, there was a small stack of one-dollar bills.

The granny counted and took out a small half for her grandson. “Go and buy it.”

The grandson glanced at the barbecue not far away and then at his grandmother’s handkerchief. “No.”

Although he was young, he knew that it was not easy for Grandma to take care of him. Grandma was old, and many people despised the candy she made.

Sometimes, she could only sell two or three in a day. The money in the handkerchief was saved by the old granny who made sugar figurines for a few days.

The granny smiled and patted her grandson’s head. “It’s okay. Buy it and I’ll earn more.”

The little boy shook his head and stubbornly put the money back into the handkerchief. “When I grow up in the future, I’ll earn money to buy it myself. I don’t want it. Grandma, take it and buy the medicine.”

In the bustling street, the sound of hawking and laughter rose and fell. No one noticed that in such a lively street market, there was a corner where the grandmother and grandson were arguing over five yuan worth of skewers.

Lu Li took a few glances and her eyes turned red.

She was the child raised by her grandparents. What she hated the most was such a scene.

Lu Li walked to the skewers vendor. “h.e.l.lo, give me one of the same ones.”

“Okay!”

In the end, the granny did not argue with her stubborn grandson. She hid the handkerchief in her clothes and secretly wiped her tears. “I’m sorry.”

The little boy shook his head. “No, Grandma. You’re already very good to me.”

At that moment, a strong fragrance suddenly came from the side. The grandmother and granddaughter turned around at the same time and saw a large handful of meat skewers and a pair of round and bright eyes.

“Grandma, it’s me.” Lu Li smiled until her dimples appeared. “Thank you for just now. This is for your grandson.”

“Miss, this… No, how can I accept your things?” The granny waved her hand.

Lu Li directly handed a skewer to the boy. “Come and eat.”

The boy subconsciously took a bite. The meat juice burst in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

“Isn’t it delicious?” Lu Li looked at the boy.

“Mm!” The little boy nodded heavily.

Only then did Lu Li look at the old lady. “It’s okay, Grandma. Look, your grandson likes to eat it very much.”

Seeing the boy eating happily, the old granny could not help but smile. She bowed to Lu Li. “Thank you so much.”

“It’s nothing.” Lu Li took out the many pastries she had just bought. “My grandmother is not much older than you. When I saw you, I thought of my grandmother. Unfortunately, she can’t eat it now. This is for you. Take it as my filial piety.”

The granny subconsciously wanted to reject her. “I still have to look after my stall.”

“It’s nothing. I’ll help you take a look. Eat first,” Lu Li said as she placed the things in front of the grandmother and granddaughter. Then, she stood up and prepared to help the granny look after the stall.

However, just as she stood up, she saw Xia Wanyuan walk to the stall and roll up her sleeves.

Lu Li leaned over. “Sister Xia, what are you doing?”

Xia Wanyuan washed herself in the water beside her, revealing a pair of fair and slender hands. “Making sugar figurines. I haven’t done it in a long time.”

Lu Li’s eyes widened. “Sister Xia, you know how to make this?”

Xia Wanyuan nodded and did not say anything else.

In her previous life, there were not as many snacks as in the modern world. The sugar figurine was a very popular snack at that time.

When Xia Wanyuan lived among the people with her younger siblings, she would help wash dishes and wash clothes to earn money in the day.

However, her younger siblings were still growing. The money she earned usually was not enough for them to live, so Xia Wanyuan would go to the night market to make candy and sell them.

Hence, when she saw these raw materials, a very complicated sense of familiarity surged in Xia Wanyuan’s heart.

Although Xia Wanyuan was wearing a mask and hat, her n.o.ble aura was extremely outstanding no matter where she was.

Although there were many tourists in the night market, everyone quickly noticed a very eye-catching figure at the candy vendor.

Xia Wanyuan’s slender hand took out a small piece of soft candy from the basin.

She pinched the sugar figurine quickly, but it did not make one feel fl.u.s.tered. Her ten fingers danced in the air, as if they were demonstrating a gorgeous dance together.

About two minutes later, the frame of a kitten appeared in Xia Wanyuan’s hand. Xia Wanyuan held her chopsticks and dipped them in the paint made from vegetable juice before painting it.

A cute kitten with exposed hair and beard appeared in Xia Wanyuan’s hand.

The guests nearby could even see the kitten’s fur.

“It’s too cute!! Mommy, I want this.” In front of the stall, a little girl had been looking at this cat for a long time. Just as Xia Wanyuan finished, she shouted.

Not only did children like it, but adults also liked such cute things. The little girl’s mother paid happily.

The mother and daughter admired the kitten as they left. When the other tourists saw what they were holding, they hurriedly rushed over.

“Can I customize it?” Some people had different thoughts.

Xia Wanyuan nodded. “Sure. What do you want to do? Line up.”

Everyone obediently lined up and exclaimed in their hearts.

This candy seller lady’s voice was really nice!

The first person in line was a little girl in a Chinese dress. She was especially obsessed with all sorts of beautiful styles. She glanced at Xia Wanyuan and howled in her heart. She must be a beauty! Then, she whispered, “h.e.l.lo, Miss. I want an ancient-style beautiful lady. Thank you.”

Xia Wanyuan looked up at the clothes on this little girl. She must have dressed up carefully. The clothes were all ancient-style and very exquisite.

Xia Wanyuan quickly took action.

Making sugar figurines was actually a visual enjoyment of craftsmans.h.i.+p. Everyone patiently watched their bodies, hands, and feet take shape under Xia Wanyuan’s fabrication.

After a skeleton came out, the next step was to color it.

At this moment, Xia Wanyuan’s powerful painting foundation played a very good role. She took the brush and flicked it a few times. It was still blank just now.

It was like the finis.h.i.+ng touch of a dragon.

“Here, the character costs more. Settle the bill at the side.” Xia Wanyuan handed the thing over.

“Ah!” The little girl exclaimed as soon as she took it.

It was actually made according to my outfit today! It was lifelike. She felt that the sugar figurine in her hand was about to dance to the wind. It was too beautiful! The little girl looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. “It’s too beautiful! Thank you!”

“Hey, hey, hey. Hurry up and make way.” The person behind could not wait anymore and desperately pulled the little girl to the side. “You’re already done, but you’re still not leaving. h.e.l.lo, I want to make a hall filled with gold for good luck. Is that okay?”

Xia Wanyuan nodded. As her fingers flew, a golden jade hall that looked auspicious was quickly pinched out.

With these few people in front, everyone could tell.

This candy maker knew everything! She even made it especially well! Everyone scrambled to get Xia Wanyuan to make it for them.

However, the amount of sugar in the basin was limited. Xia Wanyuan estimated the amount. “After the fiftieth person, don’t queue anymore.”

Those ranked before 50 all had happy expressions, while those ranked after 50 were filled with regret.

The visual of Xia Wanyuan pinching the sugar figurine itself was very enjoyable. Although everyone could not line up, they did not leave. They surrounded her and watched her squeeze it.

Most people were very obedient, but there were still people who could not wait to cut the line and stand in front.

A middle-aged man in a leather jacket patted a young lady on the shoulder and pulled her out of the team. “Give me a spot. Make way.”

“Hey!” The person who was pulled was a young lady carrying a school bag. She was indignant. “I don’t want money! Move.”

The man flashed his fists. “Get lost. I’ll beat you up.”

The young lady felt extremely wronged, but she was afraid of being beaten up by this man who was more than a head taller than her. She could only silently endure this anger.

Xia Wanyuan handed the second marshal in her hand to the guest, then looked at the young lady. “What do you want?”

The young lady looked up in surprise. She had yet to wipe the tears in her eyes. “I want a Killing Pill!”

“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” The middle-aged man stepped forward and roared at Xia Wanyuan. “Can’t you see me?”

Xia Wanyuan looked at him coldly and retorted with the words he had just shouted at the little girl. “Get lost.”

“Hey!” The middle-aged man spat. “You candy maker, I gave you face.”

He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to flip the stall. Xia Wanyuan took a step forward and kicked his knee. The man knelt on the ground and shouted in pain.

Xia Wanyuan looked down at him. “Lu Li, call the police.”

“I’ve already reported it!” Lu Li shook her phone. “The police said they’ll be here soon!”

When the man heard that the police were coming, panic flashed across his eyes. He immediately wanted to run, but he was surrounded by the pa.s.sers-by until the patrolling police arrived and took him away.

After the commotion subsided, Xia Wanyuan looked at the little girl. “What’s a killing pill?”

Xia Wanyuan, who rarely watched cartoons, did not understand what young people liked to watch.

The young lady found a photo on the Internet. “This is it. Can you do it?”

The young lady was a little worried. After all, in the eyes of the teachers and parents, it was very strange for children to like anime characters.

Xia Wanyuan took a look and nodded. “Of course.”

With that, Xia Wanyuan began to work.

To be honest, the little girl did not have much hope at first, because Xia Wanyuan did not know what a Killing Pill was.

However, when Xia Wanyuan handed the sugar figurine to the little girl, the little girl was so happy that she almost cried. This was my idol!

Gentle and powerful.

She did not expect that a sugar figurine could show all the temperament of her idol. “Thank you, thank you. It’s really well pinched!”

Xia Wanyuan looked at the school bag on her back and smiled. “Study hard.”

“Mm! I definitely will!” At this moment, the little girl seemed to see the incarnation of her male idol in the stranger.

Although the two were unrelated from the outside, and one was an animated character and the other was a real stranger, the young lady felt the same powerful gentleness.

In the following time, Xia Wanyuan kept making sugar figurines.

It was not until the moon was high in the sky that Xia Wanyuan finally stopped what she was doing.

At this moment, the sugar and dye in the basin had been used up. Lu Li counted the money.

Xia Wanyuan had pinched a total of 60 sugar figurines that night.

She had earned nearly 5,000 yuan.

Actually, Xia Wanyuan’s fees were not expensive, but many people were especially happy after receiving unexpected gifts, so they gave her more.

The granny refused to accept the money no matter what. “You earned this. Why are you giving it to me?”

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were smiling. “Take it, Grandma. Do I look like someone who lacks money? Just treat it as me doing a good deed.”

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were very sincere. It was difficult for the old granny to reject her kindness. In the end, she thanked Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li countless times before sending them away.

After Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li left, the grandmother and granddaughter began to pack their things and go home.

The little boy jumped around and a safety amulet fell out of his pocket.

The words on it were the same as the one in Xia Wanyuan’s hand.

However, Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li had already walked far away.

On the way back, Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration. “Sister Xia, why are you so good? I like you so much!”

She felt that at this moment, she understood Xuan Sheng extremely well. Who would not like Xia Wanyuan?! In a sense, Xia Wanyuan was her love rival.

However, she felt from the bottom of her heart that anyone would like Xia Wanyuan very much!

Xia Wanyuan smiled. After pinching the sugar figurine for the entire night, her hands were a little sore. “Help me take my phone out of my pocket.”

I did not contact Jun s.h.i.+ling the entire night. He must be looking for me.

As expected, there were several missed calls on her phone.

Xia Wanyuan called back and the call was instantly connected.

“Not bad, little princess. When can you make me a sugar figurine?”

Xia Wanyuan had always had someone sent by Jun s.h.i.+ling protecting her. Xia Wanyuan was not surprised that he knew her whereabouts.

Xia Wanyuan smiled. “I was busy just now and didn’t look at my phone.”

Jun s.h.i.+ling chuckled. “I know. Go back and rest. I got someone to make supper for you and send it to the hotel. It’s been hard on you, baby.”

Xia Wanyuan and Jun s.h.i.+ling could be considered an old couple, but the way Jun s.h.i.+ling addressed her still made one’s heart blush.

Although Xia Wanyuan had requested Jun s.h.i.+ling to call her by her name because she was embarra.s.sed and it sounded a little awkward, Jun s.h.i.+ling was righteous. “I don’t care. Call me a hundred years old.”

Although Xia Wanyuan was helpless, she had to admit that it felt good to be pampered like a child.

“Got it.” Xia Wanyuan’s ears were a little hot. “Sleep early.”

“No, after you eat, I want to video call you before sleeping.” Xia Wanyuan had been gone for a few days. Jun s.h.i.+ling stayed alone every day, waiting to see her at night. How could he let go of this opportunity?

“Got it.” Sensing Lu Li’s sneaky smile, Xia Wanyuan’s face heated up. She hung up after saying a few words to Jun s.h.i.+ling.

Xia Wanyuan returned to the hotel and ate supper with Lu Li.

Little did she know that the video and photos of her pinching the sugar figurine had already spread online.

At first, no one knew that this was Xia Wanyuan. After all, she was wearing a mask and hat. Most of the people present were locals and did not pay much attention to the entertainment news online.

Some netizens only felt that the sugar figurine was too beautiful, so they took a few photos and posted them on social media, attracting a large number of people to watch.

[Are you serious? She’s so beautiful, just like in the painting.]

[Blogger, take a bite and let me see. Is it really a sugar figurine? It doesn’t look like it. Can a sugar figurine look so good?]

The blogger quickly replied to the netizens’ doubts. He specially took a video of the sugar man.

A beautiful Fairy Chang’e was eaten by him one by one.

[F*ck, vicious!! My heart broke when I saw this. This craftsman is too amazing. She made it so well.]

[Making sugar figurines is a traditional skill in our country. It’s just that it has declined over the years.]

Soon, the photos of the sugar figurine that others had posted became popular. There were even netizens who took photos of Xia Wanyuan pinching the sugar figurine. The dance-like technique dazzled everyone.

Everyone watched in surprise. As they watched, they felt that something was wrong.

[Why do I feel that this person looks so familiar? Her eyes are so beautiful. She looks so much like Xia Wanyuan.]

[Really? I heard that Xia Wanyuan’s production team is filming here, but does Xia Wanyuan even know how to make sugar figurines? Don’t scare me. How can I live?]

[ The person in front, I can definitely tell you that this is Xia Wanyuan. I’m her fan. I definitely won’t mistake her. Boohoo, my G.o.ddess is so amazing!! ]

Powerful netizens finally confirmed after collecting photos of all the sugar figurines on the Internet and comparing them.

This person was really Xia Wanyuan!

The sugar figurine, which was already very popular, was now tainted with Xia Wanyuan. It was another heated discussion on the Internet.

[ Tell me, I want to eat that sugar figurine. It’s pinched so well. That killing pill is so lifelike! ]

[Have you forgotten? Xia Wanyuan is a master painter. How can the things she draws be bad?]

[Xia Wanyuan’s painting costs tens of millions. I heard that this candy only costs dozens of yuan. F*ck!! I feel like I missed a good opportunity to get rich!! I should have kicked my boyfriend and gone to the night market to buy sugar figurines today!]

After knowing that the sugar figurine was made by Xia Wanyuan, the price of the sugar figurine online increased.

The citizens present did not expect that the small thing they had casually bought could bring them an unexpected wealth.

What no one expected was that

Xia Wanyuan had made another industry popular.

The sugar figurine that only existed on the food street walked into the world of young people.

An intangible cultural heritage that was about to disappear from the market welcomed its spring. Many people were attracted by the technology to make it, and some were convinced by the beauty of it.

The granny, who was hugging 5,000 yuan and smiling as her grandson fell asleep, could not imagine it.

The day before, she could only sell one sugar figurine in a few days.

The next day, she was invited away by the officials and became the local spokesperson for intangible cultural heritage. She even accepted many legacy disciples.

This skill that was almost lost in her generation was saved by that one person alone.

It was rejuvenated!

After Jun s.h.i.+ling finished dealing with work, he had nothing to do and scrolled through Weibo. He saw the video of Xia Wanyuan making sugar figurines. His eyes were deep as he watched Xia Wanyuan’s skilled actions in the video. He was not as surprised as the others.

In his eyes, it was heartache.

Jun s.h.i.+ling knew Xia Wanyuan’s ident.i.ty. She was a n.o.ble princess and the regent who held great power.

She must have learned these things when she was wandering among the people.

Jun s.h.i.+ling was looking at the video on Weibo when Xia Wanyuan called.

She had just taken a shower and was pink and tender like a lotus flower that was about to bloom.

Xia Wanyuan wiped her hair. “I’m going back tomorrow.”

“Mm.” Jun s.h.i.+ling smiled. “Can you teach me how to make candy figurines when you’re back?”

Xia Wanyuan was stunned. “Why do you want to learn that?”

“I just want to learn.”

“Alright.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

Then, Xia Wanyuan told Jun s.h.i.+ling about the discovery of the safety amulet today.

“You suspect that something from your era might have wandered out, right?”

“Yes.” Xia Wanyuan lay on the bed with her phone. “What I want to know is, what happened to my family later.”

At the mention of this, Xia Wanyuan looked a little sad.

“Okay, I’ll help you investigate,” Jun s.h.i.+ling said and turned on his computer to send a series of instructions.

After doing all of this, he turned around and coaxed Xia Wanyuan. “How can I make Madam happy? Madam, just say it. I’ll do it.”

Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. “I want to eat ice cream.”

“…” Jun s.h.i.+ling regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would not have let Xia Wanyuan choose herself.

“Can I?” Xia Wanyuan blinked at Jun s.h.i.+ling. “CEO Jun, you’re the best ~”

Xia Wanyuan’s voice was smiling, and the end of her words was slightly upturned, making one’s heart itch.

Jun s.h.i.+ling sent a message. Soon, the doorbell of Xia Wanyuan’s room rang.

Having gotten what she wanted, Xia Wanyuan’s mood improved a lot. She chatted with Jun s.h.i.+ling and gradually fell asleep.

Jun s.h.i.+ling did not hang up the video call. He put his phone aside and turned on his computer to work.

An encrypted email was sent to Jun s.h.i.+ling from an unknown place.

It showed that the last place the members of the Sea Shark Organization appeared in the official surveillance of China was actually City H, where Xia Wanyuan was now.

For some reason, Jun s.h.i.+ling suddenly thought of the suicide case of the actors in Xia Wanyuan’s production team. He sent a message to the subordinates protecting Xia Wanyuan in City H.

“After sending Xia Wanyuan to the airport, stand by and don’t expose yourself. Just live normally in City H.”

His subordinates quickly replied, “I promise to obey orders.”

Information floated past Jun s.h.i.+ling’s eyes.

China, Continent O, Continent M.

The few big families in China, the top families in Continent O, and the big businessmen in Continent M.

These complicated relations.h.i.+ps quickly ran through Jun s.h.i.+ling’s mind.

After a while, Jun s.h.i.+ling frowned.

This was because he acutely discovered that an invisible line was slowly roping in the top forces in the world.

As China itself rose, the gazes of the various top forces gradually gathered above China.

They gathered in Beijing, the center of China.

Jun s.h.i.+ling turned his head and glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who was sleeping comfortingly.

She slept peacefully, as if all the flashy turmoil had disappeared in front of her.

Jun s.h.i.+ling’s eyes darkened. After a while, he picked up his phone and went to sleep.

The next morning, Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li boarded a plane to Beijing. Jun s.h.i.+ling picked her up at the airport.

However, less than three hours after returning home to rest, Xia Wanyuan received a reminder from the national television station.

Today was the first show of her online cla.s.ses.
