After a sneer, he patted Shangguan Jin's shoulder seriously.
"Now the third and fifth brothers are fighting each other openly and secretly. When they are both defeated, it will be a good opportunity for you to reap the benefits."
"At a time like this, you must not be a 'filial son'!"
Shangguan Jin took a step to the side and avoided his hand.
"Don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted."
Luo Yuanqing moved closer, rubbed his hands, winked, and looked at him expectantly.
"That pill?"
Shangguan Jin looked away, indicating that he couldn't bear to watch.
"I'll send someone to deliver it later."
After saying that, he sat in the wheelchair and let Jinyi push him away.
…
The city of Luozhou is in chaos.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Chu Yaoyao was pulled out of her warm bed.
"Princess, after breakfast, we will set off back to the capital."
As Ten helped her wash and dress, he spoke in a cheerful tone.
Her face was beaming with joy, which showed how happy she was.
[Yes! I will be able to see my mother soon! ]
Now Chu Yaoyao was completely alert.
Anyway, she was just a useless little thing who just wanted to lie down. Although lying down anywhere didn't matter, she felt more comfortable lying down in her own territory.
After breakfast and playing with Dahuang for a while, Chu Yaoyao reluctantly got on the carriage back to Beijing.
"Yaoyao, after returning to Beijing, help my second brother give this to Mr. Li Er. It will be my wedding gift to them."
As he spoke, Chu You handed her a small box.
Chu Yaoyao took it with a confused look on her face, staring at him blankly. After a while, she blinked and finally reacted.
"Second uncle, is he getting married?!"
After she recovered from the shock, she put on a stern face and nodded heavily.
"It's time to hurry up."
[Otherwise, when the King of Xiyue dies, Princess Mingyue will have to observe mourning for three years! ]
Chu You: ...
This idea was something they had never thought of.
The Li brothers looked at each other.
Seems like it makes sense?
No matter what the few people thought, the team had to set off in order to get into the city and find accommodation before dark.
With tears in her eyes, Chu Yaoyao waved goodbye to her brother and uncle and embarked on the journey home.
…
After she left, Qingyao Pavilion gradually got back on track.
Although it is not as refined as the previous sample, the effect is the same.
In just one month, the cosmetics from Qingyao Pavilion became the favorite of the ladies and girls in Luozhou City.
According to Chu Yaoyao's idea, cosmetics and skin care products should take two routes: affordable and high-end customized.
An expensive set could cost from a few dozen taels to hundreds of taels.
There are also affordable ones, with a bottle costing only a few dozen coins.
Even women and girls from ordinary families can buy a few bottles if they save some money and grit their teeth.
Chu You's business in Luozhou was booming, and Chu Yaoyao finally returned to the palace after more than a month's long journey.
Before she had time to rest properly, she was forced to embark on the path of studying.
…
On this day, Chu Yaoyao was carrying a small schoolbag and yawning on the way to school.
"Princess, I packed some snacks and milk powder. Would you like to eat some to fill your stomach during the break?"
Ah Shi followed behind and whispered.
That’s right, as a personal bodyguard, she has to accompany the princess when she goes to school.
Chu Yaoyao nodded listlessly, "Okay."
As they walked, they happened to meet Li Wanfeng who was preparing to deliver an invitation to the old tutor.
"Second uncle!"
Li Wanfeng turned around and looked, "Yaoyao?"
"Second uncle, why are you here?"
When talking about this, Li Wanfeng's face turned slightly red and he lowered his head and smiled shyly.
"Hey, aren't you here to deliver an invitation to Old Master Zhou?"
Looking at his expression, Chu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment.
Especially the word 'oops'.
She was really shocked.
[Is this the power of love? How can a tough guy like my second uncle have such a coy side? ]
Hearing the voice, Li Wanfeng's body trembled and he looked around subconsciously.
Well, no one else.
Fortunately, the image was saved.
He cleared his throat, "Yaoyao, are you going to class? Then let's go together."
As he said that, he reached out and picked up Yaoyao.
"When will Second Uncle marry Second Aunt?"
When talking about this, Li Wanfeng's face and ears turned red again.
"December 9th, three days later."
Chu Yaoyao nodded her head, and suddenly, her big eyes lit up.
[Wasn't my grandfather's family very busy during these three days? ]
As a well-behaved and sensible child, of course I can't just sit back and relax here! The elders are all so busy!
What else does she need to learn?! Having made up her mind, Chu Yaoyao smiled meaningfully.
When Ah Shi, who was standing next to her, saw her expression, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Because she had an idea in mind, Chu Yaoyao was very active throughout the class.
This made Master Zhou very pleased.
It wasn't easy, after so many days, the little princess finally got into the state of learning.
If he doesn't take it seriously, he will start to doubt his own abilities.
Half an hour later, the class was over. During the break, Chu Yaoyao did not rush to find someone to play shuttlecock.
Instead, he dithered and finally came to the old tutor.
"What did you say?!"
Old Tutor Zhou looked at her speechlessly, the corners of his mouth twitching.
What does it have to do with you when someone is getting married? It's just a feast, why does it take three days?!
Chu Yaoyao held up his chubby face and repeated it again with confidence.
"I need a leave of absence."
Old Master Zhou was so angry that his beard trembled three times.
The final result was that a certain guy who wanted to be lazy with a clear conscience was forced to eat a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots made by his own father.
“Wuwuwu…”
Chu Yaoyao covered her red palms with her hands, pursed her lips in grievance, her big eyes were watery, and she didn't know whether to cry or not.
"Alright, Your Majesty, calm down."
The Imperial Concubine helped Emperor Qixuan to sit down and handed him a cup of warm tea.
After Emperor Qixuan took it, he glared at the little guy unhappily.
"The old master is willing to teach you, and he is repaying the kindness. But you, for having received the true teachings of such a great scholar, don't even know how to cherish it!"
"All I think about is slacking off!"
"You are only allowed to study for one hour a day, and you can't even stick with it?!"
"What else do you want?!"
Emperor Qixuan drank a cup of tea and continued:
"Just to teach you for an hour, the old tutor is already very old, and it takes him five or six hours to come and go every day."
Speaking of this, Chu Yaoyao was not convinced and immediately grumbled in a low voice.
I am a child under three years old, what's wrong with wanting to be lazy?! I am a salted fish, just wanting to lie down and bask in the sun, what's wrong with that?!
"Don't you torment him too?"
"You have to go to court early every day and get up in the middle of the night. Who can be as hard-working as you?"
"Bang!"
Emperor Qixuan placed the teacup heavily on the table, picked up the ruler and held it high.
"How dare you talk back?!"
Looking at the ruler, Chu Yaoyao's palms began to feel burning pain again.
She shrank back, hid her hands behind her back, and took two steps back.
Forget it, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. I'll just shut up, okay? Seeing her like this, Emperor Qixuan felt bad too.
"Tomorrow, you go and apologize to the old master."
"knew."
Seeing the attitude of the father and daughter, the Imperial Concubine tried to persuade them.
"Your Majesty, starting tomorrow, I will go back to the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion to help out, so I probably won't have time to look after Yaoyao."
Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao suddenly raised her head and looked at her mother eagerly.
Yes, yes, or take me with you.
[I knew that my mother was still on my side.]
Hearing this, the imperial concubine curled up her lips into a meaningful smile.
"So I thought, otherwise..."
Chu Yaoyao nodded frantically, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at her expectantly.
[Hurry up and tell me, my dear mother, tell me to take me with you. ]
The Imperial Concubine's smile widened and she turned to look at Emperor Qixuan.
"Otherwise, we should send him to Ci'an Palace and ask the Empress Dowager to help take care of him for a few days."
Chu Yaoyao's expectant expression broke.
[That's it? That's it?! ]
