A five-year-old child inexplicably appeared in the Prince's mansion.
But this little child is still a child whose legs cannot stand upright and whose body is disabled.
Xiao Tang gave her a warning look, "There are some things you shouldn't ask about; they're the best way to save your life."
Ruyi immediately covered her mouth.
She made a gesture as if she were sewing her mouth shut, indicating that she would not ask any more questions.
Sometimes, curiosity killed the cat!
Xiao Tang first took the child to eat wontons on the street, and then took him to stroll around the bustling city.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the child was carried on the back of a guard, his eyes wide with curiosity as he looked around.
He was as if he had discovered a new continent.
Finally, there was a hint of childlike innocence and interest in his eyes.
After all, ever since he entered the Regent's Palace and was confined to the backyard, he had never left the palace.
After all, he's only five years old.
It was indeed true.
"Are you tired?" she asked.
She was in a hurry to send the child back, thinking that he should be content with just wandering around, so she immediately sent him back to the mansion.
To everyone's surprise, Di Youming shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, I want to keep shopping."
Xiao Tang's lips twitched slightly as he glanced at the guard carrying him, whose forehead was covered in sweat...
It's not this little brat who's suffering from emotional exhaustion.
As I walked near her shop, my eyes lit up. "Perfect, let's go to the shop and rest for a bit."
Although the shop has been purchased, it has not yet been furnished and remains closed.
Emperor Youming had always agreed to Xiao Tang's proposals.
But upon entering the empty shop, a question appeared on Di Youming's young face for the first time.
"What kind of shabby shop is this? Did you buy this?"
“It’s mine. I’ll start setting it up tomorrow.” Xiao Tang didn’t hide anything. “This place will be a pharmacy from now on.”
The child was very surprised.
He opened his eyes wide, and his gaze toward Xiao Tang held a newfound appreciation.
"I never would have guessed, Ninth Imperial Aunt, that you would want to open a pharmacy. Ninth Imperial Uncle would be overjoyed if he knew!"
He clapped his little hands.
Let's applaud her.
"As expected of my Ninth Imperial Aunt, she is indeed different from those ordinary women."
Xiao Tang chuckled and twitched her lips, simply thinking the child was good at praising people, and didn't take it to heart...
But who knew...
"Oh, Xiao Tang is here. I thought this shop was empty. Whose is it?"
"Seventh Imperial Consort, look at your older sister, she does all sorts of strange things all day long."
"Could he be squandering the regent's salary?"
Xiao Tang turned her head and saw three elegantly dressed women walking towards her.
Xiao Rourou, Di Ningyue, and another daughter of the Minister's family, Wen Biyun.
In the book, Xiao Rourou has many close friends.
Since the Seventh Prince was exiled to the frontier, Xiao Rourou has returned to live in the Xiao residence.
As for why Di Ningyue still associates with her, it's probably because that Prince Hua'an isn't the carefree prince he seems to be on the surface.
Xiao Tang finally realized who Di Youming was referring to when he said "common and vulgar women".
Xiao Rourou feigned surprise as she looked at her, "Sister, when did you buy this shop? I didn't even know!"
She really didn't know.
Xiao Tang, a country bumpkin, had no money to buy a shop.
They must have used some means to obtain the silver from the regent.
"Hmph, I can buy whatever I want, what's it to you?" Xiao Tang crossed her arms, raised her chin arrogantly, and looked at him with a face full of mockery and disdain.
Since there's no major villain, she doesn't need to act in it.
[Ding! Side quest activated!]
[Please slap the female lead twice in two sentences and reduce the swelling on her face. You'll receive +100 points.]
Xiao Tang's gaze immediately stopped on Xiao Rourou's face.
The system didn't even notice that the woman's face was swollen unless it alerted her.
Is it because Di Yanhen was exiled to the frontier that she couldn't sleep at night and got edema from staying up all night?
Xiao Rourou's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "Sister, I'm just worried about you, afraid you'll be deceived by someone with malicious intent. Why are you targeting me like this..."
Snap!
A slap landed on his face.
Xiao Tang's slap landed steadily, leaving the woman completely stunned.
"sister……"
Snap!
Another slap.
This completely stunned Xiao Rourou.
Xiao Tang's two best friends were also shocked by her actions.
Shocked, Di Ningyue, being a princess, was the first to react, angrily rebuking, "Xiao Tang, what's wrong with you?"
“That’s right, why did you have to hit Rou Rou for no reason?” Wen Biyun chimed in to support her.
The tone made it seem as if Xiao Tang was a heinous sinner.
Emperor Youming was getting annoyed by it all.
He raised his hand, intending to order someone to help, but...
Xiao Tang revealed his standard smile, "Seventh Imperial Concubine, I see your face is quite swollen. I'm using an ancient method to reduce the swelling. If you don't believe me, take a look in the mirror."
Xiao Rourou touched her face.
Although my cheeks are still sore, I can definitely feel that the swelling has subsided.
Wen Biyun and Di Ningyue also witnessed this amazing effect and felt an urge to try it out.
After all, it has a remarkable effect on slimming the face.
Xiao Tang curled her lips into a meaningful smile.
[Ding, congratulations host, +200 points. Your current points are...]
She slapped the female lead twice and made back the money she spent on the strengthening pills last night. Of course, she had to complete such a worthwhile and profitable deal.
[System, please send more side quests like these about the male and female leads next time. I'd be happy to oblige.]
[For example, poisoning them? Making them wish they were dead—I'd be more than happy to do that.]
