Chapter 57 Why should we hide from the Fifth Princess?
"If you're in a hurry, you can go back now."
The reason why I called Cen Yiyi here today was to plant a seed in the little girl's heart, so that when she grows up, she won't be like in the original book, bullied by that brat Yun Chuhuan and cry every day.
Unexpectedly, because the little girl was young and had not been tortured as much, she awakened faster than anyone else.
That dream was so completely different from her soft and cute appearance that even Yun Shu was surprised.
As for looking at restaurants and such, Yun Shu guessed that the girl wouldn't be interested, so he simply let Cen Yiyi go home first.
During the conversation between Yun Shu and Cen Yiyi, Tang Xinhua's eager and surging emotions calmed down a little, and he began to seriously think about what Yun Shu had just said:
"Your Highness said before that you wanted to open a restaurant, but have you already chosen a location?"
"I asked someone to pick a nice place, and I'm going to take a look today."
Yun Shu nodded:
"Cousin, come along too!"
Yun Shu just returned to the capital yesterday, so the address of the restaurant was naturally not chosen by her personally.
She simply wrote her request in a letter and gave it to Eunuch Wang, who had helped her find a manor once before.
As expected, the other party did not disappoint her expectations. She soon found a four-story building on the most prosperous commercial street in the capital, with a small courtyard at the back.
Along the way, Yun Shu had already told Tang Xinhua about his general idea for the restaurant.
But she didn't say a word about how to decorate the courtyard.
Tang Xinhua then had a guess -
"Does Your Highness have other plans for the courtyard behind?"
"Yes, the decoration of the backyard will be more unique. I will think about it carefully after I return to the palace."
Yun Shu didn't really want to hide anything from her, but she hadn't yet fully thought out some of the specifics.
As they talked, the two, led by Eunuch Wang, walked into the empty four-story building.
Without noticing, on the other side of the street, Yun Chuhuan was crouching behind a stall, covering his face with the mask he had just bought.
The other hand held Liu Ziming firmly, preventing him from showing his head:
"Don't move! My fifth sister and the others haven't even entered the house yet!"
"...Aren't you coming out with the Fifth Prince today?"
Liu Ziming was looking at the mask just fine, but he was suddenly pulled away, and then he fell to the ground, looking miserable.
But I couldn't get angry yet, so I could only ask with grievance and confusion:
"We haven't done anything bad, why do we have to hide?"
"You know nothing!"
Yun Chuhuan poked his head out stealthily, and after confirming that Yun Shu and the others were no longer in sight, he heaved a sigh of relief and raised his chin proudly:
"Soon, the Longevity Festival will be here.
I looked at my fifth sister and she seemed to have forgotten about this matter at all and hadn't prepared any gifts.
I don't want to remind her! Just wait and see, this time I will definitely beat her in front of the emperor, and let the emperor fine her gold!"
"……I do not understand."
Liu Ziming was a little confused:
"If you don't want to remind me, then don't remind me. You don't need to remind me even if we meet!
Why do you have to hide?"
"I told you you're stupid and you don't believe me!"
I didn't expect that Liu Ziming couldn't understand such an obvious truth.
Yun Chuhuan rolled his eyes at him with some disdain:
"You've already appeared in front of her with a gift, so why not give her a warning?"
"Gifts?" Liu Ziming subconsciously glanced at the things he was carrying for the Sixth Prince, and was stunned for a moment. He was completely dumbfounded:
"You plan to give these to His Majesty as a birthday present?!"
"Look at you, you're so stupid!"
Seeing Liu Ziming's current behavior, it was even more exaggerated than when he first learned about this matter.
Yun Chuhuan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction rising in his heart:
"You don't understand, do you? What is my father's status? He has seen many treasures in this world, such as night pearls, red corals, and golden Buddhas. To my father, they are just like that!
On the contrary, these inconspicuous little gadgets can please my father more!"
This was also the truth he came to realize after he spent several thousand taels of silver to buy a night pearl, but still lost to his fifth sister who bought a pile of "junk" with only five taels of silver. He went back and pondered for more than half a month before he realized it.
If it weren't for the fact that Liu Ziming, this little follower, had a good relationship with him and was also a member of the Liu family, he would not have said it!
"So that's it!"
Liu Ziming suddenly realized, but still hesitated:
"But you have to present gifts in public on your birthday. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to take these things out?"
"What's wrong?"
Yun Chuhuan frowned and gave him a proud look that said, "Are you questioning me?"
“This gift from this prince is for my father, not for anyone else.
When they see that my father is very pleased and rewards me generously, do you think they will still be able to laugh?
Don't be jealous of me!"
"..."
Is that right?
Liu Ziming scratched his head, perhaps because he felt that the Sixth Prince was the Emperor's biological son after all, and he must understand the Emperor better than he did.
After thinking about it, I was finally convinced:
"So, what else should we buy?"
"... Buy a little porcelain figurine!"
Yun Chuhuan thought of the little porcelain figurine of a girl that his father had placed on the table, and soon came up with an idea:
"I want to buy a porcelain figurine of a boy!"
He took Liu Ziming with him and soon found a stall selling small ceramic items.
But perhaps because of bad luck, he didn't get to see the porcelain figurine of the little boy!
I couldn't help feeling a little unhappy:
"What kind of stall are you setting up? Why don't you even have a boy?"
"A boy is auspicious. Many pregnant women or wives who have never given birth to a boy like to buy a boy from me and take it home to keep!"
The stall owner looked at the clothes Yun Chuhuan and the others were wearing and knew at a glance that they were young masters from wealthy families who had come out to play.
He did not care about the other party's tone, and happily picked the best-looking ceramic puppy and handed it to Yun Chuhuan:
"Look at this, young master! This is also beautiful!"
"You are the dog!"
Yun Chuhuan got angry on the spot.
He knew that the little girl given by his fifth sister represented her own wishes.
Today he wanted to buy a little boy, also in order to put something that symbolized him on his father's desk.
Not only did the stall owner not have any baby boys to sell, he even wanted him to buy a dog!
He was so angry!
Yun Chuhuan stared at the stall owner and was about to explode.
Suddenly, a teasing voice came from behind.
"Hey! Isn't this our Xiaoliu?"
