Chapter 183 There's a sneaky guy over there!
"You mean... I stole this job from the prince?"
After all, the position of crown prince is not something that can be changed at any time if you want to.
Emperor Xuanwu has not yet shown any intention of deposing the crown prince.
Yun Shu was not the type of person who was prone to being sentimental. In addition, she herself did not think that her previous performance was enough to shake the prince's position, so she did not think much about it.
Her idea is very simple and crude——
"Is the prince going to be so angry that he'll smash the cup in the East Palace again?"
Tang Muzhi: “…”
Maybe.
Maybe His Majesty really just gave this job to Princess Sheng Ann because he was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's recent actions. While warning the Crown Prince, he also gave Yun Shu some compensation?

Three days later, there was a poetry gathering in the garden.
The Tianwaitian Restaurant, which is usually bustling with people, is even more lively than usual.
Yun Chuhuan rarely ran to the Ministry of Works as soon as he left the palace today.
He sat in the carriage with Yunshu in high spirits, chattering non-stop:
"Fifth sister, your garden has already opened, so it's time to tell me what makes it so special, right?"
"It's different because you haven't seen it before."
Yun Shu spread his hands and smiled playfully:
"How can I tell you something you haven't even seen?"
"Can you give me a brief description? Just..."
Perhaps he wanted to find an example to illustrate his point, so Yun Chuhuan opened the curtains and watched from outside:
"Take the dim sum at that dim sum shop for example. I've never eaten them, but if you tell me that they make lotus cakes into the shape of rabbits and osmanthus cakes into little cats, then I can understand it!"
"you sure?"
Yun Shu raised his eyebrows:
"Then I'm telling you! The door of my garden will open by itself."
Yun Chuhuan: “?”
The expression changes from excitement to confusion in just 0.01 seconds.
Yun Chuhuan was stunned on the spot:
"Fifth sister, aren't you kidding me?"
"look."
Yun Shu looked innocent:
"I've already told you that it's no use telling you directly. You have to see it with your own eyes. If you refuse to believe it,
Now that I've told you, you think I'm kidding you again."
"But this..."
How can the door open by itself?
Yun Chuhuan was a little confused.
He leaned against the carriage window, frowning and staring at the doors along the way, as if he was trying hard to think about how these doors could grow legs and run away.
The unpredictable and complex expression on that chubby little face made Yun Shu couldn't help laughing.
"Fifth sister!"
Suddenly, Yun Chuhuan turned around with a serious face:
"I think I discovered something!"
"what?"
Yun Shu held back her laughter, thinking that he was going to talk about something related to "the door growing legs".
The next moment, this guy pointed to the corner of the street with a serious look on his face:
"Fifth sister, look! That person is sneaking towards the Tianwaitian Restaurant!"
"?"
Looking in the direction of Yun Chuhuan's finger, there was indeed a young man in a sky-blue robe with wide sleeves and flowing clouds. He was hunched over and covering his face. He was accompanied by a servant who was also sneaky. They were peeking towards the Tianwaitian Restaurant, as if they were observing something.
He really doesn't look like a serious person.
But if they have any great conspiracy...
Yun Shu didn't believe it either. After all, it was obvious that he was a smart guy.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
He stopped the carriage and took Yun Chuhuan around from behind the man, trying to feel the perspective of this simple-minded young man.
Yun Shu, who couldn't see anything special about it, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder.
"Erdan!"
The silly young man didn't even turn his head, and impatiently shook the place where Yun Shu had photographed him:
"I've already told you, just follow me obediently, why are you patting me?"
“The little one didn’t take any pictures!”
The servant squatting on the ground with his hands covering his face felt very aggrieved:
"I'm squatting below you!"
"...Yes, you were down there. So just now..."
The silly young man lowered his head, exchanged glances with the innocent servant, and then suddenly turned back -
"Mother!"
He was frightened by Yun Chuhuan's enlarged face.
After a flurry of activity, Mr. Hanhan successfully stood up again with the help of the servant, looking resentful:
"How come you, kid, stand behind someone and scare them for no reason?"
"When did this young master scare you?"
This person was sneaky and even turned the tables on others. Yun Chuhuan was immediately furious:
"It's obvious that you are the one who has something on your mind and wanted to do something bad, but I found out!"
"Who wants to do something bad?"
Noticing that many people around were attracted by the little brat's loud voice, they turned their heads and looked over here.
The silly young man quickly stretched out one hand to cover his face, and with the other hand he made a gesture to keep quiet:
"Keep your voice down, I'm watching some people turn into dogs!"
"A man turns into a dog?"
The "door can run" that the fifth sister mentioned before was already strange enough, and now there is an even more bizarre "man turning into dog".
Yun Chuhuan immediately became interested:
"What kind of change?"
"Just my eldest brother and the others!"
Crouching back in the corner and continuing to look towards the Tianwaitian Restaurant, Mr. Hanhan curled his lips:
"A few days ago, all of their friends who passed the imperial examination came to our house. When they were chatting, they mentioned the poetry meeting that Princess Saint Ann held in Xianting today.
At that time, one or two of them swore solemnly that whoever came to attend the poetry reading would be a dog.
As a result, this morning my eldest brother sneaked out from the side door and I happened to see him.
I guess he must be here to attend this poetry reading!"
“Why do they say whoever attends a poetry reading is a dog?”
When Yun Shu heard this, he also joined the group chat:
"Is it because of Princess Saint Ann?"
"Why not?"
The silly young master snorted twice in disdain:
"One moment, she said that Princess Saint Ann favored the poor children and violated the interests of the aristocratic families.
Then he said that Princess Sheng An, a woman, did not stay in the harem honestly, but had to run to the front court to compete with men for power and profit, looking down on them in all kinds of ways.
In fact, it’s because of fear!”
"Fear?"
Yun Chuhuan was curious:
"afraid of what?"
"What else? Of course I'm afraid of Princess Saint Ann!"
The silly young man had an expression that said, "How come you, a little brat, can't figure this out?"
"The steward in my house married a very powerful wife. She once chased the steward for three blocks with a stick!
Isn't that woman amazing? She doesn't fit the image of a good wife and mother at all, but my brother doesn't care.
Why? Because no matter how powerful that woman is, she won’t affect my eldest brother.”
