not to forget the queen sitting next to him.
below one level the king's seat was filled several princes and princesses
while on the other side was occupied by a grand concubine and several other concubines.
king Jian Nan had one legitimate wife and three concubines and had three daughters and five sons including the fourth prince
the main hall is very large and magnificent every wall and pillar is made as beautiful as possible with golden shades.
"his fourth prince and General Ling's highness have arrived"
shouted one of the main hall's door guards as he opened the large door
slowly the two of them entered the room every step they made felt so firm and authoritative that there was no visible smile from both of them they became the center of attention of everyone present there.
"greetings noble king Jiang nan may you live a long life and may the people of Cang'an always prosper"
as soon as they arrived before the Jian king, the two of them immediately paid their respects.
"greetings I accept rise up"
"thank you your majesty"
the two of them instantly got up and stood up straight like before.
"is there a problem at the border so that you go home suddenly without notice"
"no noble everything is safe under control they have not made any movement during this year"
"it's fine that you don't have to go back to the border again, it's not that long since you haven't met your own families"
"thank you for your noble generosity"
"same please sit down and enjoy this feast"
the two turned around and sat down where they had prepared for the two of them.
in another place after filling Aqila's stomach, Lila and Lin legitimately went to a jewelry store to sell the Ruby according to Lila's advice.
ever since returning from the Lila forest so excited he kept raving about the stone which made Aqila and Lin Shan careless for him.
the stone was indeed very valuable to others but to Aqila it was nothing because she still had other precious items within the dimension.
flashbacks,,,
after exiting the forest the three of them went to a restaurant that looked a little crowded, once they arrived at the capital.
without waiting any longer Lila directly ordered food for the three of them because since then her stomach continues to thrash asking to be satisfied immediately.
"servant please prepare three bowls of hot noodle soup one plate of roast meat and one sweet dish"
"good wait a minute, miss"
after noting all the orders the waiter went to the back where the kitchen was.
"our lady is this stone"
"whatever"
"What is sold, yeah, the price of this stone must be very expensive we can use it for the needs of the lavender pavilion let alone the monthly money that the lady received from the residence manager was very slightly inversely proportional to concubine Han and her two daughters"
"really"
Lin Shan who heard that was upset why his master was not treated well, he wanted to give them a proper lesson so that they would be aware of his actions.
"of course, I feel that the Han housekeeper has been conspiring with the concubine of the hurricane, otherwise the lady's monthly money should be enough to meet the lady's needs every month"
"they seem very sneaky"
Lila nodded confirming Lin Shan's remark she was also very upset and was eager to teach Concubine Han a lesson but she wasn't brave enough to take action that would even have a bad effect on her master.
"then sell it"
said Aqila easily he also did not care so much about the Ruby stone.
"alright"
finally they ate quietly after all the food was served in front of the three of them.
flashback off,,,, the,,,
after walking not far enough the three of them saw a large building with a signboard that read "zhubao luming"
the three entered the building immediately, they were welcomed by one of the shopkeepers.
"there's something I can help you with, ladies and gentlemen"
"my lady wants to meet the store owner"
"well wait a minute I'll report first"
"please"
the waiter went to one of the right-hand side rooms on the top floor of the store.
tok tok tok tok
"in"
"greetings sir, sorry to interrupt your time a customer wants to meet you they're waiting downstairs"
"who"
"good to bring them here"
"well sir, excuse me"
the waiter stepped away from there and then came over to Lila and the others
"let me go between you and the lady"
"hm"
the three of them nodded in agreement and followed the servant to a room.
"greetings all there is a need for what you want to see me"
said the store owner very politely while allowing them to sit down after the door of the room was opened.
Aqila sat before the man while Lila and Lin Shan chose to remain standing beside Aqila.
"we want to sell something that's definitely very valuable"
Lila who took over the decision because Aqila did not want to bother taking care of trivial things like this.
"what is it"
the shop owner was curious about the goods on offer
Lila then took out the three medium-sized Ruby stones onto the table from inside her pocket.
the shopkeeper was surprised his eyes were glaring and his mouth was gaping in disbelief at what he had seen just now.
"this, this, this is the extremely rare blood red Ruby gemstone"
"yes"
"you're sure"
"you think we're lying if you don't believe you can check the purity"
Lila was a little annoyed with the shopkeeper who thought that they were being deceived.
"all right wait a minute I'll call someone to check this gemstone"
"tangli come here"
the store owner shouted to call someone and it did not take long for the owner of the name to face his master.
"greetings sir what are you calling me"
"please check if this stone is true"
the store owner handed one Ruby gemstone to the tangli for a check to the original and the young man watched it closely.
once the young man worked in the mines so he certainly knew the origin or not of the goods.
"hmm, this is right the extremely rare blood red Ruby gemstone is master"
"well then you can go"
"excuse me sir"
the man stepped away from there with a face still shocked.
"sorry to doubt you, I'm just a business person who doesn't want to lose that's why I'm always careful"
"no problem"
"how much is the price for all these gemstones, how about ten thousand gold coins"
"no"
"fifteen thousand gold coins"
"twenty-five thousand gold coins you can take it otherwise I'll sell it to someone else"
"but it's very expensive, miss"
"that's because he is valuable, later also the master will benefit more than this if the Ruby gemstone has been made jewelry"
"they're right too"
said the store owner in his heart while weighing back the benefits he will get later.
"how"
"all right I agree, wait a minute I'll take the payment"
the store owner stepped into the room in the room, it did not take long he returned while carrying a medium-sized box that can be guessed what the contents in it.
"this is the pay"
"thank you"
Lin Shan checked the box and nodded confirming the contents inside
after that they went from there and went back on their way home
