Chapter 68 - Very Important Customer

While Bai Rouyun was waiting patiently, others quickly noticed her as she was simply gorgeous. Not to mention, a strong expert was standing behind her with the purpose of protecting her; their appearance caused many to glance over.

The Crown Prince and the Princess were the same. When they saw that Bai Rouyun was standing aside, waiting for them to finish their business, a bit of disdain flashed in their eyes.

The Princess was also known as the Third Princess, Princess Xing, and she was known to be amongst the most beautiful women in the entire capital, but when she was put next to Bai Rouyun, it was clear to see who was the prettiest of the two of them.

Bai Rouyun was like the new-fallen snow. She was ethereal and innocent, beautiful, and untaintable.

When one looked at her, it was as if they saw a fairy who had descended to the mundane world; they were afraid of sullying her.

While Princess Xing was also attractive, it was on a completely different level. She was not able to have the same ethereal atmosphere; she did not seem to be out of this world.

Knowing that they were looking at her and comparing her with Bai Rouyun, Princess Xing was fuming with anger. She wanted to teach this little b.i.t.c.h a lesson; if possible, she would even disfigure her so that her appearance could not attract other's gazes in the future!

Another reason why she wanted to disfigure her was to stomp on Li Moyun's face.

Li Moyun was just a normal prince, but he was much more well-liked than even the Crown Prince!

The Crown Prince and Princess Xing were born of the Empress, so their relations.h.i.+p was very good. Prince Yun, on the other hand, was born to a concubine; a simple concubine who used his influence to try and climb the seats in the harem.

Although Prince Yun did nothing to show affection towards his mother, she still tried using his prowess to improve her own situation.

Prince Yun's mother had always been a less favored concubine. The Emperor only visited her very rarely, but one time, after he visited her, she got pregnant.

He never saw her even once throughout the pregnancy, and it was not before she gave birth to a son that he once again visited her.

But the Emperor never lacked sons, so although she had birthed him a son, she never got the affection she longed for. As a result, she put all the blame on Li Moyun and threw him to a wet nurse and Elder Sun.

She never saw him again before he was back from his first campaign, where he had emerged victorious and gained countless merits.

After that, she tried to use her relations.h.i.+p with Prince Yun to advance in the harem, and while it was somewhat successful, she had not succeeded in toppling over the Empress and taking her position. She never got the love and affection from the Emperor that she wished for.

But because Prince Yun's mother wished to take over the position as an Empress, the relations.h.i.+p between her and the actual Empress was horrible.

This grudge, the Empress had turned to her children, and they hated Li Moyun with all their hearts.

Being the wife of Li Moyun, and being incredibly beautiful, was enough to make Princess Xing hate her so much that she wished to rip her to pieces right at that instance, but she also knew better than to cause problems in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

After what happened last time, where Bai Yue'er had lost her tongue and gotten married to a guard, the Emperor had spoken harshly to both the Crown Prince and Princess Xing for having caused problems in the shop.

The Thousand Treasure Pavilion was not a regular shop. Although many places feared their Imperial Power, this was not one of them.

The Emperor was not entirely sure about who backed the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, but he knew that it was a force that belonged to the world of cultivation. It was not somewhere they could go against as a mere Empire.

The Manager also noticed Bai Rouyun at the same time as the Crown Prince, and he was suddenly unsure about what to do. He had already been told strictly by Xue Jingyu that Bai Rouyun was a very important customer that he was not allowed to trouble in the slightest.

He was suddenly caught between a rock and a hard place. Should he leave the Crown Prince and Princess Xing and help Bai Rouyun, or should he finish a.s.sisting them?

Seeing his troubled expression as he looked at her, Bai Rouyun shook her head slightly. The Manager instantly caught her sign and took a deep breath of relief. It seemed that he could finish with these customers first.

While Princess Xing noticed nothing, the Crown Prince saw the subtle gestures between the two and was shocked. Was this not Bai Rouyun, the woman who had been dumb, deaf, and mute for ten years? How could she possibly be treated so well by the Thousand Treasure Pavilion?

Narrowing his eyes, he made a mental note about this fact, and returned to the manager, pretending to have noticed nothing.

"Manager Zhang, we are aware that you have a lot of clients recently, but we are in need of these pills within the next three days. The Royal Hunt is soon commencing, and we have no choice but to buy all our resources here."

"Your highness, you know that we do not have any more here. You can buy the herbs and ask Mister Wen to concoct them for you. I am aware that he is a good friend of the Royal Family."
