After breakfast.
Chen Siyuan wanted to go out for a walk, and the two maids were worried about what to say. Hearing this, they were naturally overjoyed.
Soon, Wang Li drove his carriage to the bustling city center.
Hearing the commotion outside, Chen Siyuan told Wang Li to stop the carriage. After getting off the carriage, she walked to Nanguan Street.
Looking at the lively scenes on both sides, and because of the sunshine, Chen Siyuan finally felt warm inside.
The moment she woke up, she felt as if she were in an ice cellar, which gave her the creeps.
When you arrive at Nanguan Street, enter through the back door.
Just as I sat down, Wang Li arrived carrying a food box.
"Young Madam, these are fresh out of the oven, please have a taste." Wang Li said, placing the pastries beside him.
Chunlan quickly took out the pastries, and Chunping immediately brought over tea.
Chen Siyuan suddenly remembered the flower tea she had drunk at the Fifth Princess's place yesterday.
"Chunping, go and see if they sell flower tea." When you're in a bad mood, you should drink something vibrant; it might ease your anxiety.
"Flower tea? Flowers can be used as tea?" Chunping was in a dilemma. Did she have to pick the flowers herself and brew the tea?
Chen Siyuan then realized that it should be strange, but she hadn't thought of it before.
Faced with three pairs of probing gazes, she didn't know what to say.
Just then, a shop assistant who had been outside ran in and said, "Madam, this is something the hot pot restaurant sent for you."
The hot pot restaurant must belong to the Fifth Princess.
Thinking about it, Chen Siyuan looked at the wooden box in front of him, wondering what was inside.
Could it be the pistol that the Fifth Princess Consort mentioned?
They quickly rejected it.
That thing is a rare item. It's unlikely that someone would give you another one after just receiving one. What could it be?
Feeling something was off, Chen Siyuan quickly opened the door and her eyes widened instantly.
A transparent bottle was filled with many flowers.
Chen Siyuan took a look and realized that this was the flower tea she had drunk at the Fifth Princess's place yesterday.
Chunlan and Chunping also opened their eyes wide.
Do they really have flower tea?
Chen Siyuan quickly told them to prepare the things, and then personally brewed the tea.
She wasn't stingy either; she made a cup for Chunlan, Chunping, and Wang Li each.
Chen Siyuan tried it, and it tasted really good.
She felt much better after drinking a cup of herbal tea, despite the distress caused by her dream.
Chunlan and Chunping drank carefully, as if they were worried about swallowing the flowers.
Wang Li was much more direct, gulping down the water like plain water, and then spitting the flower out of his mouth.
Flower tea, snacks, and I was still thinking about today's sample garment design.
Time flies.
Around noon, Wentao came over and invited me to have hot pot.
Chen Siyuan knew that Wentao had his own ideas, and she did not refuse.
If someone invites you to dinner and it doesn't cost you anything, you'd be a fool not to go.
Upon arrival, Wentao indeed chose a corner of the lobby.
Chen Siyuan understood, but didn't say it directly. They ate and drank to their hearts' content, and then noticed that Wen Tao had barely touched his chopsticks.
She spoke up, "Second cousin, if you don't eat, they'll think the food isn't good."
"Cousin, you're talking nonsense again."
"You'll soon find out whether it's nonsense or not." Chen Siyuan said, raising an eyebrow as she looked at the approaching shopkeeper. "Look, he's here."
Wen Tao didn't think too much about it at first, and the person was already in front of him.
"Young master, is the food here not to your liking?"
Wen Tao was stunned for a moment. He had only come to dinner today as a pretext, and he didn't expect that people would actually ask him this question.
Looking at Chen Siyuan and meeting her teasing smile, he knew that he could only save himself.
"No, I was thinking about something just now, and now... hehe, I guess I'll have to order some more."
Chen Siyuan bluntly pointed out, "Second cousin, are you indirectly saying I'm a pig?"
"Cousin, I didn't say that," Wentao quickly explained.
"I know. I was going to tell my second cousin that if you had said anything bad about them, our meal would have been on the house."
Wen Tao glanced at the shopkeeper standing beside him, "Really?"
"If the young master's suggestion is reasonable and we can adopt it, it is possible that we can continue to offer free meals."
Wen Tao finally understood why business here was so good. However, he was not a greedy person. "I have never seen business like this before. Your Fifth Princess is truly a heroine."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper, and after the shopkeeper left, she turned to her second cousin and asked, "Second cousin, do you think the Fifth Princess Consort is an extraordinary person?"
"Yes." Wentao nodded.
"How about our maternal grandfather?" The Fifth Princess's business acumen was unprecedented.
They offer free meals all the time and don't seem to worry about being eaten out of business.
But they just run their business so well.
Such a woman deserves admiration.
Wen Tao, quick-witted, looked at Chen Siyuan and said, "Cousin, I see you have a good relationship with the Fifth Princess. When you get together sometime, could you please invite me along?"
"Okay." Knowing that Wentao didn't have any ulterior motives and was just looking for advice, she felt she could help, but she needed to be careful.
The two left quickly, and just as they stepped out of the hot pot restaurant, they saw a horse-drawn carriage pass by.
The person sitting in the carriage was the Fifth Princess and a man.
Based on her memory, Chen Siyuan knew that the man was the Fifth Prince.
Wen Tao stood rooted to the spot, watching the carriage disappear into the distance. "Do you know who the man was next to the Fifth Princess just now?"
There was an indescribable tremor in his voice as he spoke.
Chen Siyuan also noticed Wen Tao's unusual behavior, but without saying anything, she pulled Wen Tao into the carriage.
