Upon hearing this, the Emperor immediately led the Empress downstairs in a hurry.

The shop assistant at the entrance of the grocery store was shouting, "All you merchants, come and take a look! This is a rare item; it would be a shame to miss it!"

Just then, Su Muyao called out to a girl who had just bought something from her shop, "Please wait here, young lady. I'll take a picture of you and give it to you for free."

After saying that, he raised his small camera and snapped a picture of the girl.

Soon a photograph appeared, slowly emerging from the top of the camera.

Su Muyao asked Xia to hold it up for everyone to see, while she sighed from the side, "Look what a beautiful girl she is. Time is merciless. When you get old, will you still remember what you looked like when you were young?"

"Now that I have this, no matter how old I get, even when I'm surrounded by my children and grandchildren, I can take it out and show them what I looked like when I was young."

Su Muyao is incredibly eloquent.

The girl was astonished to see her own image clearly depicted on the paper, with even the same expression.

Xia, who was standing to the side, had already been shocked when Su Muyao showed it earlier. Although the Empress was also shocked when she saw this, she remained much more composed.

The emperor, standing to the side, looked visibly displeased. With such a wondrous treasure, why didn't he take a couple of pictures of himself?

"What is this?" someone in the crowd shouted.

The emperor then ignored the onlookers, who didn't recognize him anyway, and darted to Su Muyao's side, saying, "Let me give it a try."

Su Muyao rolled her eyes. She was promoting her stuff, and there was this old jerk everywhere.

Given his status, Su Muyao simply nodded and told him to pose so she could take his picture.

Soon, photos emerged from the bottom of the camera.

"This is yours."

After Su Muyao finished speaking, she handed several photos to the Emperor.

The emperor realized he was not being welcomed, so he held the photo and returned to the restaurant excitedly.

Seeing this, the onlookers all asked Su Muyao to take a picture of them.

Xia immediately yelled, "Take pictures, take pictures! What are you taking pictures of? Our little princess sells these cameras, not takes pictures of you. Don't you have any shame at your age?"

Su Muyao liked Xia's personality. After all, they had already filmed it twice before, and now these people were still clamoring to film it again.

She only needs to take a couple of photos for publicity purposes; if she has to take a photo of everyone, she'll be exhausted.

He then cleared his throat and said, "As you all know, my shop has a lot of rare items, but far more than you can imagine."

Therefore, an auction will be held in the next few days. To put it simply, the highest bidder wins. The items are rare and precious, and everyone is eagerly spreading the word so they don't miss out.

After saying that, he didn't care whether the people understood or not, and turned and went into the general store.

The second floor of the general store has been renovated, but because not many items have been taken out, nothing has been placed on the second floor.

Have two men lower the huge poster that was made on the ground out of the second-floor window.

Everyone was shocked.

The emperor was proudly showing off what he had in the building across the street when he suddenly noticed that the empress and her attendants were looking out the window.

He hurriedly looked up and saw two huge photos displayed in the second-floor window of the shop across the street. The person in the photos was actually himself.

The person in the photo was dressed in casual clothes and passing through the garden. The emperor was amazed to see himself looking exactly like the person in the photo, especially since the portrait was so large. He wanted to take the painting back to the palace immediately.

He understood that this was no longer a portrait, but rather a strange treasure created by Su Muyao, resulting in a drawing.

After all, no matter how good an artist is, it's impossible to draw a person exactly the same way without any flaws.

The members of the Western Regions delegation were passing by and were shocked to see this scene. They never imagined that the great dynasty would have such a wonderful thing.

We must tell the prince quickly, lest we miss this rare treasure.

Soon, the few people from the Western Regions in the crowd hurriedly left, and at the same time, their spies also left one after another.

They were already curious as to why the emperor had suddenly issued an edict to lift the curfew, and now that they had found out, it seemed that this young princess was planning something big.

The emperor, watching from the restaurant, was furious. "Such a wonderful thing, and you didn't even tell me!"

I actually managed to fool him with a tiny picture.

"Go downstairs"

After saying that, he pulled the Empress along and walked ahead, followed by guards, maids, and eunuchs who also hurried downstairs.

When they arrived at the general store, they couldn't squeeze in at all. In the end, it was Grandpa De who led the people into the store through the back door.

Upon reaching the second-floor entrance, the emperor glared at Xia, who was blocking the doorway, and roared, "Get out of my way!"

Xia was also startled and quickly stepped aside.

He simply called out to his young princess inside, "Young princess, the Emperor and Empress have arrived."

Upon hearing that this old bastard had returned, Su Muyao knew it couldn't be anything good.

"Uncle, why have you returned? Is there something you need?"

The Emperor snorted angrily, "I want your little camera."

Su Muyao was speechless. "Is Your Majesty here to support me? So you came all this way to buy that thing? But it's not cheap."

"You little fox, I never said I wanted to buy one. Look at you, you've even brought out my portrait to attract customers. How about you give me one for free? Do you think that's appropriate?"

Su Muyao truly never imagined that the Emperor could be so shameless.

"Uncle, you still want to charge me one percent tax. Besides, you are so handsome and majestic."

I've thought it over and over, and no one in our entire dynasty is more suitable to be this figurehead. What do you think?

Upon hearing this, the emperor's brow immediately relaxed. This little brat has such a sweet tongue; look at what he's saying! No one in the entire dynasty is suitable to be this kind of figurehead.

Sure enough, even a baby was captivated by his handsome face. Sigh, being exceptionally handsome is also a problem.

Fortunately, this idea was just something the emperor thought about; if Su Muyao knew, she would definitely spit in his face.

After finally managing to coax that old jerk away, Su Muyao led her people to set up all the goods and decorated the two shops exceptionally beautifully.

The entire shop was covered with colorful lights and ribbons, which also connected to other shops.

Every shopkeeper was exceptionally enthusiastic when they heard that the young princess was going to put up colorful lanterns, as they all knew that the young princess was going to hold some kind of auction.

Although I don't quite understand what it's for, I know that many rare and precious treasures will appear there.

Now that I hear it, they actually want to put that strange, flashing light on them too.

That was incredibly exciting! Look at all those colors, they're absolutely gorgeous!

I heard that even the curfew was lifted by the emperor at the request of the young princess. With the curfew lifted, they could close later and earn more money.

Especially after this news got out, there were noticeably more people from the Western Regions on Huian Street that afternoon.

They all knew that people from the Western Regions were very wealthy.

Just as Su Muyao was busy at work, a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old walked towards her.

Xu's granddaughter had long heard that her aunt had been beaten by the young princess, and that her grandfather had been so angry when he came to visit that he had to be carried back by servants.

I've always wanted to see what this little princess looks like. How could she possibly make her stubborn grandfather sick? What kind of person is she?

If she didn't know what kind of people her aunt and uncle were, she would definitely have stood up for her aunt.

"Why is the young princess so short of money?"

Xia introduced Su Muyao to her, saying, "This is Lord Xu's granddaughter."

Xia, having been trained in the palace, was basically very familiar with the children of ministers and their backgrounds.

"Who would complain about having too much money?" After saying that, Su Muyao ignored the person in front of her and continued to direct the servants to work.

Xu Yingying wasn't angry. "I'd like to buy a mirror from you as a gift. Do you have any?"
