Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1078 - 1076: Closing a Deal

Wufu sat in the outer hall, lightly sipping tea, while observing this guest Floral Hall. As befits the legitimate Commandery Princess of Jingkang Prince’s Mansion, everything used was naturally top-notch, with not a single item that wasn’t a precious treasure.

Glancing at the Western Clock again, Wufu propped her chin with one hand resting on the small table, feeling somewhat drowsy. Having gone to bed late last night and risen early today with all the fuss, it was no wonder she was tired.

Meanwhile, inside the boudoir, Princess Changping stood in front of the large bronze mirror, turning left and right, seeing a vibrant woman with a touch of valiant spirit in the reflection. Listening to the sincere praise and flattery from the maid beside her, her mouth couldn’t help but curl into a smile.

It seems pretty attractive.

Princess Changping bit her lip, then lifted her chin slightly and walked out. She was someone who rewarded and punished clearly; if something was done well, there would naturally be a reward.

But upon exiting, her mouth twitched when she saw that the one named Wufu was dozing off with her chin propped up.

How carefree she was, not even considering where she was?

Changping coughed once.

Wufu jerked awake and saw Changping, then looked her up and down, saying: "Hmm, not bad, much better than pink. In the future, don’t wear pink; it doesn’t suit you. Even wearing grey-black is better than wearing pink-green."

Changping huffed lightly, her chin raised, the noble and proud demeanor of a Royal Princess on full display, saying: "This outfit is barely acceptable. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Wufu’s eyes sparkled, and she smiled: "Commandery Princess, I am not your maid, no need for your reward."

Changping frowned.

Qing Xin smiled as she stepped forward: "Commandery Princess, this Miss Wufu is the owner of Zining Pavilion."

Changping looked at Wufu in surprise: "You’re about the same age as me, yet already the owner of a cosmetic shop?"

"There’s no choice, children from poor families learn to take care early. Without the prestige of the Commandery Princess by my side, if I want to live well, I naturally have to rely on myself." Wufu said with a smile: "If the Commandery Princess is pleased with what our Zining Pavilion offers, remember to use our cosmetics in the future!"

Changping did not find the words sarcastic. Despite her arrogance, she was not unreasonable and said: "Your family’s cosmetics aren’t bad. Qing Xin, from now on, this Commandery Princess will use cosmetics from her shop."

"Yes, Commandery Princess!"

Wufu smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Commandery Princess, for your patronage." With this business deal sealed, Zining Pavilion would have no worries in the future and said: "Today, if you are attending the Famed Flower Convention, feel free to recommend our cosmetics to your friends. Our products can be custom-made to suit individual skin types; though it might be a bit pricey, what suits you best is always the best, isn’t it?"

Changping glanced sidelong at her: "You’re just trying to use this Commandery Princess to get business, right?"

"I see the Commandery Princess saw through it. To make up for it, shall I send a gift of fragrant balm to the Commandery Princess later? Every time we launch a new product, I’ll also send a sample to the Commandery Princess."

"Does this Commandery Princess covet a free fragrant balm? Good things are good; bad things are bad, as long as people aren’t blind." Changping coldly huffed.

Wufu smiled and agreed, then thought for a moment and shared some advice on clothing choices, saying: "I don’t know why the Commandery Princess favors these pink tones, but everyone’s skin and temperament should have corresponding colors. Commandery Princess has a valiant spirit, and the pinks don’t align."

"Someone told me that at my age, pink looks delicate..." Changping started to speak, then held her tongue, her expression turning a bit unpleasant.

Seeing this, Wufu said no more, likely someone using her as a foil and deliberately misguiding her. But that’s not something she could interfere with; she’s not idly concerned enough to insert herself into others’ schemes.
