Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 173 Suet White Jade
Jing Chun was surprised by Boss Tao's acceptance. She didn't know whether Jiang Hejin had paved the way. Looking at the colorful gemstones, her eyes were dazed.

Soon, Jing Chun saw the same jade as his jade bracelet, Jing Chun pointed out: "It's this kind of suet white jade."

"Muet-fat white jade?" Boss Tao also looked at the mutton-fat white jade, "This mutton-fat white jade is not a cheap material. In the past six months, our store has sold two kinds of mutton-fat white jade jewelry."

Zhang Ruolian asked: "Which two are they?"

"One of them." Boss Tao glanced at Jing Chun and replied with great interest, "It's the mutton fat jade bracelet that His Royal Highness King Li gave to Princess Li."

Jing Chun also seemed to feel the scorching heat of Boss Tao's gaze, so he secretly covered his wrist with his sleeve, stepped forward and asked, "What about the second one?"

"The second is a ring ring custom-made by boss Ren Shihua, the salt merchant in Beijing. It was taken away by Master Ren Cong a month ago."

"Is this really a finger-wrench?"

"It is indeed a ring. Although this mutton-fat jade stone is popular, not many people buy it. Moreover, the style of the ring is a plain ring with no carving pattern at all. I can still remember to buy this."

Jing Chun frowned slightly, she knew that Jiang Hejin's gifts were not bad, but...

"Is this suet jade so rare?"

Jing Chun still asked her own question, she had never estimated the value of the bracelet on her wrist, but now in front of the experts, she actually wanted to ask.

Boss Tao nodded, and the round fan in his hand fanned the wind vaguely, "I reckon that this capital is the only place where I, Jubaozhai, have mutton fat jade. Naturally, there are a few."

Jing Chun and Zhang Ruolian also focused on Ren Shihua as the owner of this ring.

"However, I heard that Boss Ren was imprisoned by Jingzhao Mansion a few days ago? What? What case is this finger snap related to?"

When Boss Jingtao said this, Jing Chun also felt strange. Although Ren Shihua bought the ring, Ren Shihua was still in jail in Jingzhao Mansion.

The Jingzhao Mansion has regulations. Prisoners have to take out their valuables when they are in prison, in order to prevent prisoners from self-harm or bribing the guards in some way.

If Jing Chun remembered correctly, in her impression Ren Shihua had never worn anything like a finger puller, that is to say, the finger ring should belong to the Ren family.

Could it be that Wei Anuo escaped from Ren's residence?

Thinking of this, Jing Chun and Zhang Ruolian intended to take a step ahead, but Jiang Hejin stopped him, "You two are leaving now?"

Only then did Jing Chun and Zhang Ruolian realize that they were only focused on investigating the case and had forgotten the existence of Jiang and Jin.

Jiang Hejin greeted: "I picked out some jewelry, if you two are not in a hurry, why don't you come and take a look."

Jiang and Jin had said these words, how could Zhang Ruolian dare to offend them, so they pulled Jing Chun forward to take a look.

Jiang Hejin chose a green cherry and white butterfly agate bead tassel bud, two pairs of gauze silk crystal lapis lazuli bead hairpins, and two pairs of pistil flower rice bead turquoise earrings.

"how?"

Jiang Hejin seemed to be asking about Jing Chun and Zhang Ruolian, but in fact they were looking at Jing Chun's reaction.

Unfortunately, the expression on Jing Chun's face was dull, and there was no joy at all.

Zhang Ruolian nodded, "It's beautiful."

"What do you think? I'm a painter."

Jing Chun froze for a moment, she wished for a moment that she would be interested in this kind of jewelry, but Jing Chun didn't have the feeling of ten thousand years of this kind of jewelry, so Jing Chun couldn't mention it when she saw it. There is no sign of joy.

However, Jiang Hejin's aesthetics has always been very online, and these kinds of jewelry are pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.

Jing Chun also nodded and agreed, "It's very beautiful."

This answer was consistent with Zhang Ruolian's, and even a little perfunctory. This was obviously not the answer Jiang Hejin wanted, but he still tried his best to smile. Anyway, he had never experienced such a cold reception.

This feeling is very strange. My expectations have not been answered accordingly, as if you are stuffed in the water with a big gulp all at once, and you can only think about the feeling of your heartbeat.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Hejin, Jing Chun and Zhang Ruolian left Jubaozhai.

As soon as he went out, Zhang Ruolian gasped wildly, staying by Jiang Hejin's side made Zhang Ruolian suffocate.

"Jigong, you don't know, Fangcai is next to His Highness Li Wang, I dare not even make a sound, for fear of disturbing His Highness Li Wang."

Jing Chun smiled and patted Zhang Ruolian on the back, "How can it be so exaggerated? Then His Highness Prince Li didn't say anything that made people feel uncomfortable. Can he still eat Zhang Gong?"

It's okay not to mention that, Zhang Ruolian saw Jing Chun's calm and composed appearance, and became suspicious for a while, staring at Jing Chun closely for a long time, as if he wanted to see something.

"Speaking of which, why can the well painter treat His Royal Highness Prince Li so indifferently? I always feel that there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity between His Royal Highness Prince Li and the well painter. Could it be..."

If Zhang Ruolian let Zhang Ruolian guess, Jing Chun was afraid that he would show his feet, so he replied: "Mr. Zhang forgot that I helped investigate the theft case in Prince Li's mansion earlier. His Royal Highness King Li praised me very much. At that time Because of this, I stayed in Jingzhao Mansion with Mr. Zhang, and I also received the token of Jingzhao Mansion."

Jing Chun shook the token and continued: "It was through those few days of getting along that I got to know His Highness Prince Li a little better, and that's why Zhang Gong didn't take things so seriously."

After Jingchun said this, Zhang Ruolian also remembered that such a thing happened, so Jingchun's explanation did make sense.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruolian also smiled, as if he was also amused by his own thoughts just now, "I'm still thinking, Jing Gong and His Highness Li Wang get along naturally, if it is said that they are husband and wife, I would believe it, so it is because The case of the theft of Prince Li's Mansion."

Jing Chun broke out in a cold sweat, but he also accompanied Zhang Ruolian and said with a smile: "How can I be qualified to climb to such a high position, Zhang Gong is just making fun of me, hahahahahahaha..."

Only Jing Chun knew how fake her laughter was!

Zhang Ruolian suddenly became serious, "I'm definitely not making fun of you. I wonder if the well worker knows that Princess Li's maiden name in Liu Shaoqing's case is exactly the same as the well worker's name. They are both called Jing Chun. In addition, they met unexpectedly today. I’m looking at His Highness Prince Li, but if I hadn’t seen His Highness Prince Li choose earrings, I would have really thought that the well worker was Princess Li.”

"Earrings?" Jing Chun subconsciously touched his earlobe, as if he understood what Zhang Ruolian meant by earrings.

Jing Chun doesn't have eyes and ears, so she never wears those earrings. If Jing Chun is Princess Li, then Jiang and Jin cannot be ignorant of this.

Jing Chunxin was half a beat too late, when did Zhang Ruolian see things so carefully!
Jing Chun pretended to be calm and replied: "Zhang Gong really thinks highly of me. I am a mere commoner, and I live a life of simple food and drink. I am really lucky to have the same name as Princess Li."

Jing Chun felt ridiculed at himself, could he still feel unfortunate?
"But, then again, I don't think being a painter is worse than being a Princess Li. Look, as a painter in Jingzhao Mansion, I encounter different things every day, but Princess Li is different. I am locked up in Prince Li's Mansion every day and encounter the same things. Looking at it this way, I naturally choose to be a painter."

Zhang Ruolian said with a smile: "Jinggong, what you said is as if you are Princess Li. The life of Princess Li is much better than people like us. Just look at how His Highness Li Wang treated Li Wangfei. Your empress values ​​it, look at those jewellery, even if you sell both of us, you won’t be able to afford it.”

Eh--

It was you, Zhang Ruolian, who sold you even if he couldn't afford it, but Jing Chun was worth more than this!
