Suddenly, Zhao Shu threw the gold hairpin in her hand. The hairpin hit his body and fell down with a clatter. He froze, his hands and feet suddenly went numb, and he fell to the ground, unable to move.
Zhao Shu walked over and looked down at him. "Your Highness, you've really outdone yourself. Is this the level of military power the Xiongnu Kingdom possesses? This has truly broadened my horizons."
"Alright, hahaha, Ah Jun, stop fooling around. Come here to me. Your father is not here, so you've become lawless. Today, I will discipline you on behalf of your father." Emperor Mingde said this, but his face showed no displeasure whatsoever. He was grinning from ear to ear.
Zhao Shu walked to his side, curtsied, and said, "Uncle, I was wrong. I shouldn't have competed with others so casually, and I was trying to save face for my servants."
"Pfft..." Xie Yun couldn't help but exclaim. "Oh dear, this in-law is quite nice. I really hope she gets married soon and has a lovely little girl to be his granddaughter-in-law. She would definitely be very smart and cute."

Zhao Shu shrugged innocently, "The face powder sold at Sanguzhai and Chunyuan was developed by Physician Peng, right Physician Peng?"
Upon being suddenly called upon, the old doctor Peng nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's a new variety from Chunyuan. Everyone is welcome to come and purchase it."
This advertisement was so well done that even Emperor Mingde couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, everyone disperse."
Zhao Shu did not return to the princess's quarters, but went directly back to Cining Palace with the Empress Dowager.
