Xianwu, the confidant of the Prince of Zhenbei, tried to stop her, "Prince, you can't wear these clothes. Why are you buying these..."
"I'll be able to wear it in the future." Yu Zizhen blinked his big black eyes, "Uncle Xianwu, the prince told me to buy whatever I want."
Xianwu: ...The problem is that the prince didn’t know you would buy these weird things!
Clothes made of fine cloth and silk brocade are fine, although the workmanship and materials are ordinary, but it’s okay to wear them occasionally for novelty.
But as for those coarse cloth shorts, Xianwu really couldn't imagine under what circumstances Yu Zizhen, as the prince of Zhenbei, would wear such a thing.
There were also those that were obviously the wrong size. Xianwu couldn't figure out who Yu Zizhen was buying them for, but he couldn't figure it out.
What he didn't know was that Yu Zizhen was not going to be a well-behaved prince. She had a thick plan that needed to be implemented as soon as possible.
Yu Zizhen waved his little hand at him and said, "Let's go, Uncle Xianwu, next we will go buy some local rituals."
Xianwu: ...Let’s say, for example, a child comes to Beijing for the first time and has no acquaintances in the capital. Who should he give the earthenware gift to?
Yu Zizhen didn't care what he thought. She only went to the dowry shop of Princess Zhenbei and the shop of her nominal maternal grandfather's family, the Wu family. As long as it was locally produced and could be given as a local specialty, Yu Zizhen would buy it all with a wave of her hand!
After buying various local ritual items, Yu Zizhen went to buy a lot of suitable accessories.
The accessories were all made of gold, silver, pearls, jade and various gems. The prices were high, so the shop owner and the clerks in the shop were reluctant to take on her big business.
The clerk immediately asked the shopkeeper to come out. The shopkeeper was a trusted servant of Princess Zhenbei. When he saw Xianwu following behind Yu Zizhen, he immediately guessed the identity of Yu Zizhen, whom he had never met before.
But the more this happened, the more the shopkeeper dared not to sell the things to Yu Zizhen so simply and directly.
You should know that the shop he is in charge of is one of the dowries of Princess Zhenbei. Usually, whenever there are any good things in the shop, they will be sent to the palace for Princess Zhenbei to review as soon as possible.
They would only take back the items that Princess Zhenbei disliked and sell them to others.
Now Yu Zizhen has brought the Zhenbei King's trusted attendant to buy...
The shop owner, who prided himself on being a smart man, had many thoughts quickly running through his mind.
He winked at his waiter, suggesting that he should immediately inform Princess Zhenbei and ask her, the boss behind the scenes, for advice.
Yu Zizhen noticed the shop owner's little trick. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Am I not worthy of buying things here?"
The shopkeeper's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down before her. "Sir, what are you talking about? I would never dare to have such a rebellious thought."
Yu Zizhen let out a long sigh, "In that case, then pack up everything I like."
The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly called two other waiters over to help Yu Zizhen pack up the expensive jewelry that she liked.
Yu Zizhen was supervising with his arms behind his back, scaring the two young men so much that they couldn't help but speed up their packing movements.
"The items will be sent directly to the palace, and the bill will be put under the prince's name." Yu Zizhen waved to the shop owner who kept wiping his sweat with his hands, then walked away without looking back.
Xianwu, with a complicated expression, was about to step up and follow, but the shop owner turned his back to Yu Zizhen and gave him a look as if he was about to kill a chicken.
Xianwu:......
Xianwu didn't dare stay for long. He just whispered to the shop owner, "The prince said that the prince can buy whatever he wants."
Shop owner: ...I've never heard that the Prince of Zhenbei is such a doting son!
"Well, what else should I buy?" Walking on the bustling streets, Yu Zizhen turned his head and his eyes quickly scanned the plaques and signs of the shops on the street.
"Host," the system suddenly said in a baby voice at this moment, "a new cannon fodder has been discovered. The system is about to issue a cannon fodder rescue mission. Would you like to receive the mission details immediately?"
Yu Zizhen paused slightly, "Yes, I accept it."
After a moment, Yu Zizhen asked Xianwu, who was following closely behind her, "Uncle Xianwu, is there a blacksmith shop nearby?"
"Yes, there are, but the quality of the weapons sold in the shops outside is far inferior to the ones in our Zhenbei Palace treasury." Xianwu was very happy and suggested, "Whatever the prince wants, why not wait until the prince returns to the palace and ask him directly for it?"
Yu Zizhen smiled at him and said, "I'm just curious about how iron is forged. I don't want anything."
Xianwu: Oh, that’s okay.
He said, "There is a Zou Ji blacksmith shop on the eastern side of the next street. It is the closest blacksmith shop to here."
"Then let's go there. I'll just take a look and then we'll leave."
"Okay!" Xianwu said that he could fulfill any wish of Yu Zizhen as long as this little ancestor didn't spend money!
He took Yu Zizhen and slowly walked around to the next street where the consumption level was relatively affordable.
"Huh?" A group of people walked a few steps on the next street, and one of the guards who had been following them pretending to be invisible suddenly let out a light exclamation.
Yu Zizhen immediately stopped and thought that these guards of the Zhenbei Palace were quite sharp.
"Something's wrong!" Just at this moment, another guard lowered his voice and spoke. He looked at Xianwu and said, "Take the prince back to the palace. I'll take a few brothers to check it out."
Fearing that Yu Zizhen was young and would make a scene if things didn't go her way, the guard lowered his head, put on his softest expression, and tried to talk to Yu Zizhen in a nice way, so that she wouldn't cry and alert those suspicious people.
However, to his surprise, Yu Zizhen actually took the initiative to retreat on his feet without waiting for him to speak, "Let's go, Uncle Xianwu."
Guard: ???
Xianwu:......
The two looked at each other for a moment, exchanged a tacit glance, and then Xianwu took half of the guards and all the servants and attendants, and protected Yu Zizhen and quickly went to the carriage parking place.
The driver didn't know what happened in the next street, but Xianwu's slightly solemn facial expression gave him a clue.
The driver drove the carriage as fast as possible without hitting anyone else.
"Uncle Xianwu, you can bring people over to help." At the same time when the carriage arrived at the side door of Zhenbei Palace, Yu Zizhen's childish but steady voice was heard from the carriage.
Xianwu was startled, and a thought popped up in his mind - the prince was too calm, he...
"Uncle Xianwu?"
Xianwu suddenly came back to his senses, "Yes, I'll take people there right away."
"Well, bring more and attack them from both sides."
Xianwu felt a strange feeling in his heart that became stronger and stronger. He always felt that their young master seemed to have deliberately placed emphasis on the pronunciation of the four words "attack from front and back". Was it his illusion?
