2711 The Prince Consort’s Promotion

The shopkeeper swiftly interjected, “Should this continue, the Crown Prince Consort might reduce the wages of this humble servant by half.”

The youthful Crown Prince Consort shook her head delicately and replied, “No one’s earnings shall be diminished. Proper task delegation is all that’s required. Loyalty and dedication, devoid of confusion, render wages and such matters inconsequential.”

“Yes, Crown Prince Consort,” came the collective response, a blend of elation and slight sorrow.

He speculated that the youthful Crown Prince Consort must be feeling disheartened at present. Despite the shop’s thriving nature, it had encountered such a fate on the very first day of transition.

They hadn’t foreseen that their Crown Prince Consort was genuinely unfazed.

In any event, the properties and lands were under her ownership, alleviating the need for exorbitant rent payments. She could simply allocate a portion of labor funds each day, scarcely constituting a loss.

Little did they realize that to the opulent Crown Prince Consort, this meager daily labor expenditure held trivial significance…

/What did a minor setback matter? After all, she had just received a hundred million spirit currency from Mu Jingfeng. Who could predict the duration of her setbacks!/

The young crown prince consort had barely sipped half her tea when the clip-clop of hooves reached her ears, eventually halting before her Couture House.

The two elegant maids stationed at the entrance darted inside excitedly, their voices almost shrill, “Crown Prince Consort, Crown Prince Consort! Kang, Kang, the Kang Prince Consort has graced us with her presence!”

The Kang Prince Consort and her unassuming yet luxurious carriage came to a halt before the Couture House.

As the carriage drapery was raised, Danling extended a hand to assist the Prince Consort as she alighted, a grin adorning her features.

Onlookers halted in their tracks to gaze.

Several aristocratic women departing from the standard-class clothing store across the street couldn’t contain their astonishment, blurting out, “Goodness, is that truly the Kang Prince Consort? Why does she appear over a decade younger?”

“Oh, indeed!”

“The Prince Consort has undergone quite a transformation.”

As these ladies conversed, they eagerly pressed forward to extend their greetings to the Kang Prince Consort.

With a smile, the Kang Prince Consort motioned for them to rise and engaged in polite small talk. “Madam Jiang, Madam Li, are you indulging in some shopping?”

“Yes, the weather is delightful today.”

“Oh my, Prince Consort, it’s been only a few brief days since we parted at the Zhongli Estate, and you’ve undergone such a change!”

“Has the Prince Consort encountered any auspicious events? We hope you won’t hesitate to share your wisdom!”

The women continued to chatter animatedly around the Prince Consort. Their eyes conveyed admiration, but not jealousy.

They were well aware that in this lifetime, the Kang Prince held deep affection for his wife, the Kang Prince Consort. Employing his resourcefulness, he traversed the Divine Province to uncover treasures such as divine pills and rejuvenating elixirs for his consort’s comfort.

The Kang Prince Consort’s expression radiated contentment. Just as she looked up, the young crown prince consort emerged from the Couture House.

“Qiaoqiao.” The Kang Prince Consort approached swiftly.

Qiao Mu also descended to greet them. “Imperial Aunt.”

“Well, my dear child, let me see why your eyes are teary. Has someone mistreated you?” The Kang Prince Consort’s demeanor shifted abruptly to one of concern.

The Consorts discreetly withdrew, refraining from further speech.

“If all is well, who could dare mistreat me.” Qiao Mu held onto both the Kang Prince Consort’s and the Kang Prince Consort’s arms, and her typically impassive face unveiled a rare glimmer of happiness. “Why have you come, Aunt?”

“You’ve recently assumed ownership of this shop, essentially making it a new venture. Naturally, I had to pay a visit. And I’ll even shamelessly request some of your beautifying cream! Tell me, how does my complexion appear?”

“Considerably improved.” A smile danced in Qiao Mu’s eyes, and she inquired with an affirming nod, “Are you still experiencing chills?”

“Significantly, significantly better.” The Prince Consort radiated a wide grin, brimming with delight.
