The Regent and His Wife Couldn't Possibly be so Loving.

She really wanted to know how Mingyi would react after knowing this.

Mingyi stared at Cui Shuyao for a while. Somehow, looking at her smiling face, she suddenly felt nauseous. She frowned and covered her mouth.

Cui Shuyao: “…” Even if you find her disgusting, there’s no need to vomit in front of her.

Yunying hurriedly handed the water to Mingyi.

Cheng Yin asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you okay? You like sour food and vomit. Could it be that you are..."

Mingyi drank some water and recovered: "What is it?"

Cheng Yin shook her head. She was a young girl and didn't know much about women's affairs, so she couldn't speak carelessly. She just asked Yun Ying quietly, "Will your Highness's letter arrive this month?"

Yunying shook her head slightly, indicating that her period had not yet arrived.

The charity sale continued, and the item being sold at this moment was the embroidery painting of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix donated by Jiang Ling.

This piece of Suzhou embroidery was embroidered by Jiang Ling herself. Before she became a noble lady, she and her sister-in-law made a living by doing embroidery. The embroidery work is extremely exquisite and the pattern of this embroidery is also very rare, so the starting price is one hundred taels.

Each time the price was called, the price increased by fifty taels.

Soon, someone who knew the value of the embroidery started bidding, and soon the price of the embroidery was raised to five hundred taels.

Liu, the head of Yongli Trading Company, the leader of the rice industry in Beijing, seemed determined to get Jiang Ling's embroidery, and he asked for five hundred taels.

Five hundred taels is far more than the value of the embroidery itself.

Manager Liu originally thought that the embroidery was already in his pocket, but he didn't expect that after he offered five hundred taels, someone immediately raised the price.

"One thousand taels."

This man was quite generous and doubled the price. It was obvious that he liked the embroidery very much. Manager Liu would not take away someone else's favor.

In the end, the embroidery was sold for one thousand two taels.

The person who bought Jiang Ling's embroidery was Cheng Zhiyan.

Mingyi was slightly stunned, thinking that Cheng Zhiyan was being too blatant. As an unmarried man, what else could it mean for him to pay a high price for a woman's embroidery?

Although the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were civilized, the men and women were still unmarried. Although Cheng Zhiyan looked steady, he was quite abrupt in his actions.

Cheng Yin saw Mingyi's thoughts and said to her, "Your Highness, you may not know that something happened during the half month you were in seclusion in Da Ci'en Temple. It's a long story, and I'll tell you in detail next time I have time. Anyway, because of this, my brother and Jiang Ling's marriage was decided not long ago."

"My brother paid a high price for Jiang Ling's embroidery, not out of turn, but because he wanted to support his fiancée."

So that's how it is.

Mingyi couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect your brother to be so knowledgeable and interesting."

He has not even married his wife yet, but he has already started to coax and pamper her. Looking at his cautious look, he must be very fond of Jiang Ling.
