Chapter 16
As for why she should go to the gates of prince Chen's residence, of course it's for Ji Yu Qing to see for herself her decision to choose this outfit was not bad, it's also very beautiful on a beggar.
Ji Ling Xue didn't expect her actions, would lead to an unexpected scene the next day in front of the residence gates.
Mo Xiang nodded, "Yes." Without asking more, she did whatever Ji Ling Xue told her to do, her mistress giving a beggar what that woman gave her, she had no regret at all.
When Mo Xiang presented the bright dress to the beggar girl, the girl opened her mouth wide in exaggeration staring at Mo Xiang, happiness and distrust in her eyes, she was really hungry right now, even though she was very uncomfortable as she was dirty and smelled, compare to this, she would rather prefer to have a full stomach.
Mo Xiang said: "This is for you, tomorrow morning go to prince Chen's residence...there will be a reward!"
The beggar finally picked her jaw off the floor, blinking as if this was inconceivable, after a while she asked, "Prince...Chen's residence?" She was questioning whether she had imagined what she heard, her begging days were over, she was going to be taken in as a servant by a noble? If this was true, she was very willing, so long as there's food she won't have to starve again, she would do anything.
Mo Xiang nodded, pressing a hair pin into the girl's hand, warning repeatedly: "This belongs to prince Chen's residence, hand this over to the manservant at the gate, he will let you in."
Mo Xiang didn't say anymore, seeing the beggar girl was stunned like she had been struck with lightening, she turned around and left.
Ji Ling Xue took Mo Xiang to Linglang, this was a woman's shopping paradise, from hairpin to embroidered shoes nothing wasn't exquisite, each were unique and unmatched, thus even though prices were high it was still very popular with the wealthy women in the capital.
Ji Ling Xue entered, business was flourishing, Ji Ling Xue minding her business began to pick out clothes.

Because she was dressed simply, the shop assistants did not bother receiving her politely.
Mo Xiang followed beside Ji Ling Xue, giving her opinion from time to time, the women there were shopping while gossiping.

A woman said: "Have you heard, prince Chen's wedding yesterday, even though she's an imperial concubine received through the side door, the ceremony was as ostentatious as a rightful wife!"
B woman said: "Prince Chen is extraordinarily handsome and have an impressive appearance, I wonder which young lady caught his attention? Which young lady in this city doesn't say they want to marry prince Chen, such an important person, multi-talented and rich, there aren't many single-mindedly infatuated men."
A woman: "Exactly, that foolish princess inside prince Chen's residence must have accumulated several lifetime of fortune to marry prince Chen, she doesn't even deserve to carry prince Chen's shoes, prince Chen has just taken an imperial concubine, he's given that fool of a princess plenty of face."

Ji Ling Xue's hands which had just picked up a pair of embroidered shoes carefully looking over them, trembled, she had the urge to throw the shoes at them.
Mo Xiang glared at the gossiping busybodies in front with a murderous intent, sadly those two people were chatting too happily, they didn't notice the temperature drop at all.
B woman said: "You still haven't told me which young lady is prince Chen's imperial concubine?"
A woman sighed in pity: "Who else, keep the goods in the family, of course it's also a daughter from the JI family."

"Pa!" Ji Ling Xue heavily placed the shoes in her hand back on the table, saying to the shopkeeper behind the counter, "Shopkeeper, send everything I've just touched to prince Chen's residence."
Having spoken she wanted to turn and leave, the women gossiping lively just now turned pale, glancing at Ji Ling Xue up and down, asking lowly, "You are prince Chen's..."
"Princess!" Ji Ling Xue puffed out her chest.
The two woman's complexion paled, bowing their heads the apologised, it wasn't good to talk about someone behind their backs, this time they had offended prince Chen's imperial concubine, they hoped the other person would be magnanimous, don't take it to heart.
Ji Ling Xue glanced at the shopkeeper, turning around she left, letting everyone see a confident at ease view of her back.
