Chapter 775: Flattery is also a science
Early the next morning.
Gu Chan got up early and washed and packed.
Since everyone in Prince Chan’s Mansion had left, and she was the only one left in the mansion, she no longer had to be as restrained as before, fearing that her identity as a girl would be exposed.
Look, at this moment, she is sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her long black hair slowly with a comb, looking at her towering breasts, a smile appears at the corner of her mouth.
During this period of time, in order to conceal her identity, she had been wrapping her breasts tightly with a bra. Only now was she finally able to free her breasts and make herself feel more comfortable.
Seeing her feminine features becoming more and more obvious, she couldn’t help but sigh, “What should I do in the future? My breasts are getting bigger and bigger, and it’s not a good idea to keep wrapping them tightly like this!”
“Bang bang bang…”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden rapid knock on the door. She was so scared that her hands trembled and the comb in her hand fell to the ground.
Gu Chan quickly ran to the bed, picked up the chest wrap and wrapped her chest, then quickly put on her clothes and tied up her long hair that was scattered behind her. Then she shouted to the door, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Zuo Yun.” Zuo Yun said outside the door.
“Are you sick? Why are you banging on the door so early in the morning?” Gu Chan scolded angrily.
After she finished scolding, she dressed neatly and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Zuo Yun said with a grin, “I’ve brought someone to look at the mansion. If it goes fast, it will probably be sold today.”
“Oh! You’re so thoughtful!” Gu Chan said speechlessly.
She had never thought of selling this fine mansion so quickly, but Zuo Yun had thought of it before her.
Zuo Yun smiled awkwardly and said, “Now that all your family members have gone to their fiefdoms, there is no point in keeping this mansion. It would be better to sell it and temporarily live in our princess’s mansion. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable?”
“Didn’t the Crown Prince also grant Princess Thirteen a fiefdom? Why, you don’t plan to leave?” Gu Chan asked doubtfully.
She had helped all the princes and princesses in Kyoto to obtain fiefdoms before! Everyone was in a hurry to leave, but the Thirteenth Princess was not in a hurry at all, which was somewhat beyond her expectations.
Zuo Yun said seriously, “You will definitely go to Diyue Country in the future. Once you leave, someone must stay to take care of the Ninth Prince. The Thirteenth Princess, Yuan Jie and I are the best candidates to stay.”
“Aren’t you afraid that the prince will kill you?” Gu Chan reminded.
“Don’t be afraid. The Crown Prince has been in awe of the Thirteenth Princess since he was young, and they have a good relationship as siblings. After all, they are both born to the Queen Mother, and she won’t let the Crown Prince touch her own daughter!” Zuo Yun explained.
Gu Chan nodded with relief.
It was not until now that she found out that the Crown Prince and the Thirteenth Princess were both the Queen Mother’s biological children. It was no wonder why all the princes and princesses were imprisoned in the Wanhuang Garden, and only the Thirteenth Princess was able to stay in the palace.
To the extent that, after the Thirteenth Princess got married, the Crown Prince even rewarded her with a princess mansion as her residence.
As expected, the prince’s sister was treated better than other princes and princesses.
Based on this, Gu Chan could calm down and said, “Okay! Then I’ll listen to your arrangements! You go and help me negotiate the price first, and I’ll pack my luggage. After the price is negotiated, I’ll take my luggage and go to the princess’s mansion with you.” “Okay! Then you can pack slowly, there’s no rush.” Zuo Yun nodded.
After saying this, he immediately said goodbye to Gu Chan and went to negotiate the price with the dignitaries who came to visit his mansion.
Half an hour later, when Gu Chan packed her luggage and came out of the room carrying two large bags, Zuo Yun had already come to the yard with an old man, talking and laughing.
When the two sides met, the old man bowed respectfully and said, “I am Zhao Danian, the Imperial Scribe, and I pay my respects to Prince Chan.”
“Mr. Zhao, there’s no need to be polite. Please stand up.” Gu Chan returned the greeting.
After that, she spoke first, “Master Zhao, are you the one who wants to buy my mansion?”
“Your Majesty, it is me.” Zhao Danian nodded.
“I just don’t understand. Aren’t you the Imperial Scribe? Aren’t you the historian in the palace? Why do you buy such a big mansion? Aren’t you afraid of being criticized?” Gu Chan asked doubtfully.
Zhao Danian smiled faintly and said, “Prince Chan, I have already consulted the Crown Prince on this matter. My Zhao family has been serving as the imperial historian since the founding emperor of Tiancang Nation, so the Crown Prince allowed my Zhao family to reside in the palace and perform the duty of compiling history books. It’s just that for so long, we have not found a suitable palace.”
“Oh! So that’s how it is! Since the prince has agreed, I won’t say anything more.” Gu Chan said with relief.
“This mansion is quite prosperous, and you, Prince Chan, have lived here before. For our Zhao family, it is simply a paradise. I hope that in the future our Zhao family can benefit from your good fortune, so that our descendants can live in harmony and achieve greater success!” Zhao Danian complimented.
Gu Chan laughed out loud when she heard this, and her mood immediately became much better.
It turns out that no matter who it is, they all like to hear others flatter them, and Gu Chan is no exception!
She did not deny that Zhao Danian was indeed good at talking. No wonder his family had been able to inherit the position of Imperial Scribe in the palace. It was hard for a person like him not to become successful.
Gu Chan also began to have a slight liking for Zhao Danian in her heart, and said generously, “Okay, Lord Zhao, since we have come to this point, there is no need to say anything more. You can pay me 90% of the price you agreed with Zuo Yun, and I will give you the 10% off. It will be a great gift from me, Gu Chan, to your Yu Shushi family.”
“Oh! Thank you so much, Prince Chan.” Zhao Danian said hurriedly while bowing.
“You’re welcome. I’ll send the banknotes to the princess’s mansion later. I’ll be staying in the mansion for the next three days. I’ll have to go to the Diyue Kingdom after three days.” Gu Chan said, waving her hand.
Zhao Danian straightened up and said seriously, “Prince Chan, there is something I want to say, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.”
“Just say it.” Gu Chan said.
“Since the Diyue Kingdom was defeated before, and it was you who suffered the defeat, it would be better for you to change your identity this time. Otherwise, you might die as soon as you enter the Diyue Kingdom! The most important thing is that you have offended a lot of people in the Tiancang Kingdom, and these people may also want to take your life.” Zhao Danian reminded.
Gu Chan clasped her fists and thanked him, “Thank you, Lord Zhao, for your reminder. I’ll keep it in mind. I’ll be careful when I go to Diyue Country next time.”
“Okay, then, Prince Chan, take care. I will ask my son to deliver the silver to the princess’s mansion later. I would like to trouble you to give him the land deeds, house deeds, etc.” Zhao Danian said.
Gu Chan nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them said no more. Gu Chan immediately said goodbye to him, left Prince Chan’s Mansion with Zuo Yun, and rushed to the Princess’s Mansion.
