The copper piece looked quite unremarkable, and it was even a bit blackish-yellow, but somehow she had a feeling that this little copper piece was not simple.

Moreover, she felt that the Third Imperial Uncle, despite his seemingly calm and collected demeanor, might actually be a hidden big shot.

She clutched the small copper piece, held it up to her eyes, and saw strange symbols and patterns drawn on it, some like floral designs, others like talismans for warding off evil, which she couldn't understand.

What does this mean?

[She was fluent in Chinese, chemical symbols, and even knew a little bit of foreign languages, but she simply couldn't understand the scribbles on this copper plate.]

Seeing that Yun Duoduo was looking at his copper plate with a serious expression, Yun Beiming ignored Yun Beiye.

He held Yun Duoduo's hand and whispered in her ear, in a voice only she could hear, "Duoduo, if you go to Shu, take this copper piece with you. Your royal uncle left it for you. You'll have to see for yourself what it is when you grow up!"

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Yun Duoduo.

Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo immediately became interested.

This third imperial uncle is a good friend; he really gives you good things!

[Wow, Third Imperial Uncle is really interesting, he's still leaving us in suspense!]

Could it be a treasure trove?!

Could it be a pass to an important checkpoint in the Shu Kingdom?

Yun Duoduo's eyes darted around, and she thought to herself with delight.

Third Imperial Uncle, you flatter me too much. If I didn't understand you and lost this copper piece, wouldn't that be terrible?!

[However, Third Imperial Uncle, rest assured, beneath this child's skin lies a soul weathered by time.]

She found the things Yun Beiming gave her very interesting, and she wanted to visit the Shu Kingdom when she grew up!

After playing with Yun Duoduo for a while, Yun Beiye and Yun Beiming went to the study.

Then, one after another, the younger princes and concubines began to walk towards Anqing Palace.

Yun Duoduo moved her mouth and put on a standard smile.

If she had teeth, she would definitely show eight teeth to display her most enthusiastic smile.

Granny Liu stayed by Yun Duoduo's side the whole time. She was very surprised that the little princess was in such a good mood today. She didn't cry or make a fuss, and her face was always smiling. She looked very happy.

Yun Duoduo had a rare opportunity to see her eight royal brothers today. Each of them brought a small gift, some were small wooden rattles, some were ceramic ruyi locks, and there were all sorts of trinkets. Her little cradle was almost full.

Although she didn't remember the names of her eight imperial brothers, they all appeared before her eyes, and she got a glimpse of them and formed an impression of them.

She couldn't help but marvel at how powerful her father's genes were; her eight imperial brothers did indeed share some similarities in their features!

After her other brothers visited her, they chatted for a while and then left. Yun Yibo and Yun Yishu stayed by her cradle, talking to her.

The third prince, Yun Yishu, lifted Yun Duoduo's arm and looked at her carefully. "Eldest brother, look, Duoduo has gotten so fat in just a few days!"

"Third brother, did you get your head caught in the door when you went out? Duoduo is clearly chubby and healthy, how is she fat?" Yun Yibo rolled his eyes and retorted unhappily.

Who are you calling fat?!

Who are you calling a shrew?!

Why am I so annoying?!

She's undeniably the cutest person in the universe, okay?!

Yun Duoduo opened her mouth wide with a fierce look in her eyes and bit Yun Yishu's hand hard.

In Yun Duoduo's view, this was an extremely aggressive action, but for Yun Yishu, how much pain could a baby without teeth hurt when it bites?

Besides, his arms were chubby, all covered in fat, so he couldn't feel any pain at all.

Yun Yishu felt that the little girl was just playing with her, and gently patted her head.

Don't touch me!

Yun Duoduo got even angrier and glared angrily at Yun Yishu.

"Little sister, let's stick it on!"

Yun Yishu thought his younger sister was very cute. He bent down and pressed his face against Yun Duoduo's face, and even rubbed against her affectionately.

Don't touch me!

What kind of strange movement is that?!

Why stick it on? And if you're going to stick it on, why rub it against it?

Third Brother, this is an extra charge.

Seeing Yun Duoduo staring with wide eyes and a look of utter bewilderment, Yun Yizhong assumed she was hungry.

"Let's go to the imperial kitchen. The nanny said that my younger sister has been here since this morning, and she must be starving by now!"

"My dear sister doesn't have any teeth yet, so she can't eat all the food at the banquet," Yun Yizhong suggested, patting Yun Duoduo's flat little belly.

[Waaaaah, my second brother is still the most reliable!]

She was truly starving; her stomach was practically sticking to her back!

"Let's go!" Yun Yizhong led several princes out.

Yun Duoduo patted her belly, smacked her lips, and thought that her brothers would bring her delicious food soon.

Suddenly she smelled a strong scent of rouge and face powder.

Good heavens, it must be the demonesses from the Spider Cave arriving.

"Did the ladies bring any congratulatory gifts?"

The head maid guarding the entrance of Anqing Palace bowed her head and asked, "The Emperor has issued a special decree that all the concubines in the harem must bring gifts when they see the little princess."

"We brought them, we brought them!" As they walked inside, they stuffed the gifts they had brought into the hands of the head maid.

"Where is the little princess?"

"Your Majesty, it's in the cradle on the central platform of the main hall."
