I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 22 Don’t ask why, the answer is that I brought enough money today!

Li Chen was stretching when a slender white thigh stepped into the imperial study.

As he looked towards the figure, he happened to meet the girl's clear and bright gaze.

Li Chen didn't think there was anything wrong, but the girl pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, looking a little introverted and shy.

"Common people see you, Your Majesty."

Chu Ruoyan knelt in front of Li Chen. It could be seen that she was prepared this time, unlike standing there stupidly like yesterday.

Today she was wearing a light purple dress with garlands embroidered on the lapels, giving her the feeling of a young girl in full bloom.

Viewed from the front, the slender waist is plump and full.

Viewed from the back, her tall and slender figure is very slim.

"Get up."

After hearing Li Chen's words, Chu Ruoyan slowly stood up.

She was still a little nervous, but Li Chen quickly started chatting with him.

Li Chen said that he planned to inspect the east of the city today, and wondered if Chu Ruoyan was familiar with this place.

This was the point that Chu Ruoyan could answer. She immediately patted her plump chest and said that she grew up in the east of the city.

In her opinion, His Majesty should be going on a private visit in disguise.

For this trip, Li Chen deliberately changed into a new set of clothes so as not to reveal his royal identity.

And with the lesson from last time, he also prepared a lot of money.

There are many merchants in the east of the city, and the Chamber of Commerce will also build various commercial streets, and the surrounding shops are naturally high-end and elegant.

The street that Li Chen came to this time is simply unaffordable for ordinary people. Only the powerful and nouveau riche in the imperial capital can buy things here.

Compared with the powerful people in the imperial capital, the nouveau riche prefer to buy these things to prove their strength.

Li Chen and Chu Ruoyan first came to a clothing store called "Nishang Yuyige".

This shop is famous in the imperial capital for its unique design and precious materials, and is a favorite place of countless nobles and monks.

As you step into the store, a faint fragrance hits your nose. It is emitted by the special spices in the store, which can make people feel peaceful and as if they are in fairyland.

The decoration inside the store is simple yet elegant, with various clothing patterns hanging on the walls, each of which reveals the designer's ingenuity.

On one side of the store, there are various kinds of silks and brocades, all of which are hand-woven by famous weavers of the dynasty. Each piece contains different spiritual powers and can nourish the body and mind of the wearer.

If you want to customize it, you can choose the silk or brocade you like.

On the other side of the store, a wide variety of finished garments are displayed.

There are exquisite embroidered robes with intricate totems and runes embroidered on them, and every stitch and thread reveals the craftsman's exquisite skills. There are flowing long skirts, the hems of which sway in the wind, like fairies descending to earth.

Li Chen pointed at a piece of clothing at random and said to Chu Ruoyan, "Do you like this dress?"

Chu Ruoyan looked at the ridiculously expensive brocade robe in front of her and a hint of joy flashed through her heart. How could a woman not like such a thing?

But due to her modesty, she said she didn't like it that much.

Li Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly to the shopkeeper next to him: "Did you hear that? My friend doesn't like this one. Pack up all the others except this one."

This sentence directly frightened the shopkeeper and Chu Ruoyan.

You know, clothes in this place are very expensive. They have seen people buying a lot of clothes at one time, but this way of buying is unheard of.

Li Chen didn't care whether Chu Ruoyan agreed or not.

Don’t ask me why, the reason is that I brought enough money today!

If you have money, you can create it!
The store naturally also has professional delivery services. As long as the customers pay, they will send strong guards to provide special protection.

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, the shopkeeper's hands were shaking.

Today, his performance was off the charts. He was humbly bowing beside Li Chen, treating him like his ancestor. If he knew Li Chen's identity, he would have considered himself too high to care about him.

Before Chu Ruoyan recovered from the shock, the two of them came to a large brand store of women's products called "Qiluoxuan".

On the lintel of the shop hangs a plaque carved from a thousand-year-old wood, on which are written the three large Chinese characters "Qi Luo Xuan" in gold powder. The handwriting is fluent and simple, and it is obvious that it is the work of a great calligrapher.

As you step into the store, a faint fragrance hits your nose. It is the perfume rouge carefully blended with rare treasures. Each bottle contains different spiritual power that can nourish the skin and improve your cultivation.

The store displays a variety of rouge and powder, some of which are as brilliant as the sunset, and some of which are as fresh as morning dew. Each one is irresistible.

Li Chen's shopping method became more and more outrageous. He would pack up everything that Chu Ruoyan had seen.

It's so extravagant that it makes your scalp tingle.

When the boss of Qiluoxuan heard about such a big customer, he even came over to receive him in person.

The boss's little mouth was as sweet as honey as she praised Chu Ruoyan and compared her to a fairy in the sky. It was an honor for these perfumes and rouge to be used by Chu Ruoyan.

Even if there are any new products in the future, they will definitely be provided to Chu Ruoyan as soon as possible.

This treatment is only available to great nobles who have purchased goods here for more than ten years.

Chu Ruoyan was a little dazed. She felt that this world was too crazy. No, it was Li Chen who was crazy!
Normally, she and her mother would come to these shops and it would be painful to choose mid-range perfumes and rouge.

Now, the most expensive and best perfumes and rouge here seem to be sold in wholesale.

What made Chu Ruoyan's heart beat fast was that Li Chen bought things for her without even discussing it with her. Which woman could resist such a domineering way of spending?

Anyway, Chu Ruoyan can't bear it anymore.

Especially the envious looks from the women nearby made her feel a little elated.

This is the halo that Li Chen brings to her, which makes her favorability towards Li Chen increase infinitely.

But this is not the end. Li Chen brought a lot of money today, and he took the dazed Chu Ruoyan directly to a store called "Jin Yu Man Tang".

This store is a jewelry and gold brand that is famous in the imperial capital and even in the entire Tiance Dynasty.

The exterior wall of the shop is made up of pieces of crystal clear jade. Under the sunlight, the jade emits a soft and warm light, and it is obvious that it is of great value.

When you walk into the store, you will see all kinds of jewelry on the shelves, some are inlaid with dazzling gems, and some are made of pure gold. Each one is so exquisitely crafted that it is breathtaking.

The most eye-catching one is a rare piece of jewelry called "Tears of the Stars". This gem is a fusion of fragments of fallen stars and deep-sea blue coral. It is one of a kind in the world!

Jin Yumantang is the most popular place because they are qualified to provide gold, silver and jewelry to the royal family.

How could something that the royal family likes be bad?

After hearing this, you will know that Jin Yu Man Tang is a high-end restaurant, and those who come and go there are more or less powerful and influential people.

Especially those nouveau riche, when they hear that the royal family buys this, if they buy it too, wouldn’t it prove that their taste is similar to that of the royal family? They will even spend a huge amount of money to buy things here, just for the face.

Chu Ruoyan had only passed by this place before and had never dared to go in.

Because aristocratic families like the Chu family focus on cultivation, all their money is spent on cultivation resources and weapons and equipment.

But which woman doesn't like these sparkling things?

Chu Ruoyan has been very sensible since she was a child. Even if she likes someone, she will not cause trouble to her family.

Today was different, because before she could see clearly what the "Tears of the Stars" looked like, Li Chen had already asked someone to pack them all up for her.

Those who were even more confused than Chu Ruoyan were the people in the Chu family who saw all kinds of priceless treasures being sent to their homes.

The horror on their faces seemed to be saying: Is Chu Ruoyan planning to move the commercial street to her home?

Because they saw that the shop assistants even moved the store's door panels and ceiling pendants into the house, which was beyond the comprehension of the Chu family.

Li Chenzhen just buys whatever he sees, without worrying whether the store sells it or not.

Some were happy and some were sad. Just when Chu Ruoyan was so happy that she didn't know what to do, two figures in the dark were gritting their teeth.
