Zhang Tian hesitated for a moment before following the queen into the clothing store.
"Welcome!"
A sales assistant shouted loudly as someone entered, drawing out the last syllable.
The Jing Jue Queen did not speak, but merely looked around with pride.
Her gaze swept over the clothes, her expression indiscernible beneath the black veil.
"Um, Miss, are you..."
The sales assistant, seeing the Jing Jue Queen wearing a veil and ignoring her, asked in confusion.
The store was large, a foreign brand, and quite well-known.
Sales assistants and receptionists in such large stores were usually polite.
"Um, her ears and eyes aren't good, I'm bringing her to buy things. You can go now."
Zhang Tian approached the sales assistant with a smile.
"I see, sir. Is this your wife? It's so good that your wife has you."
"Then, if you need anything, just call me. I'll be going now."
The sales assistant finished with a playful smile and hurried towards the door.
Zhang Tian shook his head. As he turned back, he saw the Jing Jue Queen looking at him.
Although he couldn't see her eyes, Zhang Tian could guess that she was glaring at him.
"What did you just say?"
The Jing Jue Queen spoke.
"Nothing, nothing. Look, if you like that, I'll buy it."
Zhang Tian waved his hands quickly.
The Jing Jue Queen stopped looking at Zhang Tian and turned her gaze to a piece of clothing on a mannequin.
The outfit on the mannequin was a long robe, black with a touch of red, a type of outerwear.
The robe was long, almost reaching Zhang Tian's calves.
If the Jing Jue Queen wore it, it would likely be perfect, as she was very tall, and it would suit her exceptionally well.
Zhang Tian examined the fabric. It was good quality, pure cotton, not some later-day carbon fiber.
"Please take down this robe."
Zhang Tian called out.
The sales assistant hurried out again.
Seeing that Zhang Tian wanted the item from the mannequin, the sales assistant hesitated slightly.
But then she looked at the Jing Jue Queen and her face lit up with a smile.
The Jing Jue Queen was stunningly beautiful. Even without seeing her eyes, her tall stature was a perfect match for the outfit.
"Miss, would you like to try it on? No one has ever suited this dress before. Your temperament and your height are absolutely perfect for it!"
"This garment was made by a royal artisan from Britain, Queen Elizabeth. Its quality and craftsmanship are absolutely guaranteed."
The sales assistant spoke enthusiastically.
"Mmm."
The Jing Jue Queen simply gave a slight hum.
Her condescending gaze made the sales assistant a little flustered.
"Change into it."
Zhang Tian said. The sales assistant, now realizing what was happening, quickly took the garment off the mannequin.
Zhang Tian was fortunate not to encounter any obnoxious supervisors deliberately making things difficult.
Even if he did, his reputation was not bad.
Soon, the Jing Jue Queen went into the fitting room.
She did not ask the sales assistant to accompany her.
In less than a minute, the Jing Jue Queen reappeared.
The black robe, with black and red trim at the hem, had an English design that added a touch of elegance.
As the Jing Jue Queen walked out, an aura of nobility and dominance filled the entire clothing store.
It's worth noting that a large clothing store wouldn't have only two customers.
As the Jing Jue Queen emerged, other shoppers also turned their gazes towards her.
"Quick, look, that woman is so beautiful."
"You can't even see her face clearly, and you're calling her beautiful? Hmph, a scumbag."
"With this kind of aura, which wealthy young lady could she be?"
"Look at that man, isn't that Young Master Zhang? He must be from a prominent family newly arrived in Bei Li."
Around them, shoppers paused in their actions, their eyes fixed on Zhang Tian and his companion, discussing amongst themselves.
Given their presence here, their backgrounds were likely not ordinary, unlike those outside.
The robe fell perfectly to the Jing Jue Queen's calves,
concealing her entire body.
The collar was of a European style, somewhat retro.
If the Jing Jue Queen were to remove her veil now, she would undoubtedly be a modern-day heiress.
"Not bad, but the fabric is subpar."
The Jing Jue Queen spoke.
The sales assistant's eyes widened.
"Miss, did you mishear? This is a blend of cotton and high-grade silk, it couldn't possibly be bad."
The sales assistant was agitated.
"It's not silk."
The Jing Jue Queen replied, leaving the sales assistant speechless.
Good heavens, what kind of status do you have to be able to demand silk for clothing?
Besides, can silk even be made into clothes?
Zhang Tian smacked his forehead. He had forgotten that the ancient city of Jing Jue was a crucial route on the Silk Road.
"Did you just hear her say silk for clothes?"
"This person is not simple. Let's not pay attention to her."
The onlookers, who had been watching with great interest, discreetly averted their gazes after hearing the Jing Jue Queen's words.
"The craftsmanship here is what it is. We'll buy this dress, and also a pair of pants and an inner shirt."
Zhang Tian quickly interjected,
offering them both a way out.
Afterward, under the watchful eyes of the sales assistant and her unique gaze, the Jing Jue Queen chose a pair of loose black pants and a small shirt.
"Hello, sir. The total is two thousand yuan."
The sales assistant smiled sweetly.
Zhang Tian directly took out the money. Two thousand yuan was not much for him.
However, it was different for others.
"Slap."
Before the sales assistant could take the money, the Jing Jue Queen's hand landed on the counter.
She took out an ancient gold coin.
"Holy cow."
Seeing this, Zhang Tian quickly withdrew his money.
"This is..."
The sales assistant looked bewildered.
"It's nothing, just candy."
Zhang Tian waved his hands quickly.
Who buys clothes with gold coins? And ancient ones at that.
Zhang Tian knew the Jing Jue Queen would not take advantage of him, but this was not the way to go about it.
The Jing Jue Queen glanced at Zhang Tian.
She had her own pride. As a queen, how could she spend a subordinate's money?
"Alright, sir. I'll process this for you. Please wait a moment."
The sales assistant offered a sweet smile.
Soon, after paying, the two left the clothing store.
Without the Nan Yun Su Yi, the Jing Jue Queen's current attire had a more powerful feel.
"Indeed, was my taste lacking?"
Zhang Tian compared them in his mind. The current outfit was indeed more suitable and better looking than the previous one.
"Here, take that gold coin."
The Jing Jue Queen spoke slowly.
Zhang Tian nodded.
"The currency circulating in this era is not gold or silver, but paper money."
"So, it was a bit out of place for you to take that out."
Zhang Tian explained patiently.
The Jing Jue Queen nodded as if she understood.
"Mmm."
She nodded and walked beside Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian was tall, about 1.8 meters, but the Jing Jue Queen was also 1.75 meters, so they were not much different in height when standing together.
"By the way, I'll tell you about the background and situation of this era."
Zhang Tian said as they walked.
"Can I conquer this city?"
"No."
Zhang Tian flatly refused.
Conquering a city, how could she even think of such a thing.
"Oh."
"Let me tell you, the weapons in this era are all firearms, and the whole world is composed of hundreds of countries."
"We are in Xia Guo, and the person leading the entire Xia Guo now is our great leader."
"As for your conquest, it's best not to think about it. Just live your own life."
Zhang Tian said. The Jing Jue Queen remained silent. Just as Zhang Tian was about to say more,
a familiar voice suddenly called out.
"Hey, isn't that Little Tian?"
Zhang Tian: !!!
