Chapter 203 - 143: Addictive Poison

The moment Princess Changle stepped onto the third floor, everything before her eyes made her feel as if she were in a dreamlike world.

The luxurious decor, the dazzling lights, the array of goods, all left her dazzled.

Her gaze lingered on every counter, filled with admiration and curiosity.

"This place is truly beautiful!"

Princess Changle couldn’t help but exclaim, her voice full of excitement and thrill.

Could it not be beautiful?

When Yang Haibo and his entourage came to the Capital City, Han Lei showed him a video of a modern jewelry building and purchased all necessary finished products from the system to bring to the Capital City.

The setup here was entirely modeled after the jewelry mall in Nanjing’s Fuzimiao district.

The counters displaying goods on the third floor were completely different from those on the first and second floors.

The first and second floors catered to the consumption level of the common folk, with all goods displayed on wooden shelves for sale.

But the third floor used precious glass to make display counters, with tiny solar lamps hanging inside, making the entire counter transparent and crystal clear.

Inside the counters, besides the common jade, agate, jasper, and pearls of this era,

more were modern crystals, cinnabar, obsidian, aquamarine, platinum, cloisonné enamel and other rare trinkets.

Every product had an acrylic-made price tag written in red paint, clearly marked with prices.

The accessories of this era were simple and formal in design, while the modern accessories were not only diverse in shape but also bold and realistic.

Some accessories inlaid with water diamonds, under the solar lamps, appeared particularly radiant and golden.

Those rouge powders, eyebrow pencils, nail polishes, etc., were exquisitely packaged, appearing extraordinary.

Every counter also had small mirrors, in which the reflection was clearer and brighter than a bronze mirror, like a face-to-face with a real person.

Tang Xiaotong, seeing Princess Changle had come to the third floor, curled his lips into a playful smile.

He had already rushed upstairs earlier, turning the prices of certain items back to twice their original amount.

Tang Xiaotong personally went to greet her, his face full of a smile upon seeing a "generous" customer.

"With the presence of the Commandery Princess, our humble shop is truly honored!" he said respectfully, his tone full of flattery.

Princess Changle smiled slightly, her gaze still sweeping around.

Every item here was to her liking; she wanted each one.

But as a noble Commandery Princess, she could not appear ignorant.

So, she just said faintly, "Shopkeeper, your things here are truly rare; I’ve never seen them elsewhere."

Tang Xiaotong was delighted at heart, this was the exact sentence he had been waiting for.

"The Commandery Princess certainly has a keen eye. Every item here comes from a distant land, especially these accessories, which are truly unique."

As he spoke, he guided Princess Changle toward a glass counter.

Inside the counter, small "Luminous Pearls" emitted a gentle glow, transparent and lustrous, as if they could captivate one’s soul.

Princess Changle couldn’t help but reach out, touching those small solar lamps through the glass counter, a glimmer of fascinated greed flashing in her eyes.

"These Luminous Pearls are truly exquisite!" she exclaimed.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaotong immediately said, "The Commandery Princess indeed has an eye for beauty. These Luminous Pearls are rare treasures, only fitting for someone as noble as you!"

Princess Changle, hearing this, felt a surge of pride, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

"Shopkeeper, what other good things do you have here? Show them all to me," she said.

Tang Xiaotong was delighted internally, knowing Princess Changle had taken the bait. He immediately instructed his staff to display more goods.

Crystals, cinnabar, obsidian, aquamarine, cloisonné enamel... one by one, the novel and rare items were placed before Princess Changle.

"These are all treasures, each one unique," Tang Xiaotong introduced, his tone brimming with temptation.

Princess Changle’s gaze lingered on these items, filled with desire.

She picked up an amethyst necklace, wore it around her neck, and carefully examined it in the counter’s mirror.

"This necklace is truly exquisite, more beautiful than any jewelry I’ve seen before."

Seeing this, Tang Xiaotong immediately praised, "The Commandery Princess indeed has a discerning eye. This necklace is made from the purest crystal, and it suits you so well. Wearing it makes you appear noble and elegant, with a unique aura."

Hearing this, Princess Changle felt a burst of joy in her heart, examined herself in the mirror again, and without hesitation, said, "I want this necklace!"
