"This servant will go and take a look," said Xiao Zhuzi.
"Go ahead." Zhao Shu stood in front of the door, looking at the lush plum garden. The garden was planted with plum blossoms of various colors, but it was not the season for plum blossoms to bloom.
Before long, Xiao Zhuzi came out, accompanied by a beautiful woman.
To say she was beautiful would be an understatement. The woman had skin as white as snow, eyebrows like distant mountains, and a pair of pitiful eyes that evoked pity in those who looked at her. Her cherry-like lips, pursed, were even more captivating.
Upon seeing Zhao Shu, the woman hurriedly knelt down and said, "This servant greets the princess."
Zhao Shu didn't recognize the person and didn't speak, just staring at her intently.
Seeing Zhao Shu's appearance, Green Ivy immediately realized that the princess must not recognize her, and said immediately, "Wei Ji, why don't you tell the princess what you are doing here?"
Feeding the chickens? "Pfft!" Zhao Shu couldn't help but laugh, and her mood, which wasn't very good to begin with, immediately improved a lot.
When Zhao Shu laughed, everyone else silently laughed along with her. What was originally a very nice title suddenly became vulgar because of Zhao Shu's laughter.
Wei Ji's face instantly turned red, and she tightly hugged the pipa in her arms with her beautiful, delicate hands.
"Your Highness, I noticed how well the plum trees in the courtyard are growing, and it reminded me of the green forest behind my home. I was moved by this and apologize for disturbing you." Her voice was extremely pleasant, soft and gentle, yet as melodious as a nightingale's song.
"You can play the pipa?" Zhao Shu asked, since she hadn't heard any pipa music earlier.
Wei Ji nodded slightly, and even that slight nod gave off an aura of unparalleled beauty.
"I know a little bit."
"I've been bored lately. From now on, come to Qionghua Courtyard at noon to play the pipa for me." Zhao Shu was in an even better mood, as if someone had just offered her a pillow when she was sleepy.
Wei Ji suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes looking at Zhao Shu with surprise, "Yes, this servant will definitely be at Qionghua Courtyard on time to play the pipa for the princess."
"Go down." Zhao Shu waved lazily and continued walking towards Chensong Courtyard.
Upon arriving at Chensong Courtyard, Prince Yong was practicing Tai Chi. He had recently suffered setbacks from various quarters and was feeling quite uneasy.
He was no match for Emperor Mingde in chess, mainly because Emperor Mingde had personally taught him.
Playing Dou Dizhu (a card game), no, I mean playing leaf games, is no match for my mother and daughter. They prefer to snatch the landlord role...
He tried to play Tai Chi, but was mercilessly crushed by the Crown Prince!
"Good morning, Father. Your daughter greets you." Zhao Shu glanced around and noticed that Fu Xi and Fu Qing were standing to one side with food boxes, so she guessed that her father had not yet had breakfast.
When Prince Yong saw Zhao Shu coming over, he hurriedly put down what he was doing and said, "Ah Jun, quickly, quickly demonstrate the high scout horse."
Zhao Shu had no reason to refuse. "Father, your movements are actually quite standard, but they are a bit stiff. The back sit and roll your arms, the empty step and push your palm should be soft, the movements should be smooth and flowing, and you should not be too fast."
She demonstrated as she spoke, and Prince Yong learned from her.
After several rounds, both Prince Yong and Zhao Shu had beads of sweat on their faces before they stopped.
"Father hasn't had breakfast yet?" She beckoned, and Fuxi and Fuqing immediately brought over the food box.
Upon opening the food box, I found that the breakfast inside was extremely simple: a bowl of porridge and an egg, and that was it.
"Father, is this all you're going to eat?"
After wiping his hands, Prince Yong came over and said, "A-Jun, have breakfast with your father."
Zhao Shugang had just finished drinking the porridge and wasn't hungry anymore, so she sat down and personally served Prince Yong some porridge. "Father, you can also have a cup of milk with your breakfast. Last time, Aunt Jinxi cooked milk with ginger, so the milk wasn't fishy and tasted very good."
"Yes, we'll drink tomorrow. What brings you here so early, Ah Jun?" Prince Yong felt that his daughter was becoming more and more sensible and capable, truly living up to the saying, "A girl changes a lot as she grows up."
He was very pleased.
"A-Jun wants to discuss the matter of opening a shop with her father."
Prince Yong was drinking his porridge when he suddenly remembered that he had said in court that he wanted to open a shop to make a living. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, okay. What kind of shop does A-Jun want to open?"
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and continued, "You can ask your twelfth uncle about opening a shop."
Prince Jing? Zhao Shu immediately shook her head, "No, it's better not to. Twelfth Uncle is a man who does great things. We're just doing small things, how can we trouble him?"
Prince Jing, the twelfth brother of Prince Yong, was once considered for the position of heir apparent. Unlike the Third Prince, the son of the former Consort, who is now imprisoned, Prince Jing was the prince who enjoyed the most imperial favor before Prince Yong's birth and was praised by the aristocratic families as having the demeanor of a renowned scholar.
King Jing was indeed intelligent and wise. Zhao Shu only knew that he held a certain position in the court, but she did not know that he was also involved in business.
In the future battle to strip princes of their titles, Prince Jing almost had the last laugh.
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong realized that he and his elder brother actually had no real relationship, so he dropped the matter.
“If we’re not going to your twelfth uncle, then we’ll go to your imperial uncle. Doesn’t the Imperial Household Department have many imperial merchants? Let’s invest in one.” In his opinion, it was no big deal.
Zhao Shu couldn't help but laugh, "I know, Father, but A-Jun doesn't want to go to the Imperial Household Department; she wants to open her own shop."
The Imperial Household Department was under the control of Prince Hui, and she had no desire to have anything to do with these princes.
"Alright, alright, whatever makes you happy." Prince Yong finished his porridge, and Zhao Shu's words passed by him in an instant. He only had one daughter, so why not just make her happy?
This is probably how the Empress Dowager raised him: if he wanted to do his own thing, he would be happy if he could.
Therefore, His Highness Prince Yong also raised his daughter in this way.
Helpless, Zhao Shu had no choice but to reveal her plan: "A-Jun wants to open a rouge shop."
Prince Yong wasn't surprised. It's normal for girls to love beauty, but it was the idea of her opening a restaurant that surprised him.
