The emperor glared.
He was certainly unsure!
Is this little person in front of me Yuan Yao...?
It's A-Yuan's precious daughter!
He wouldn't dare kill this little girl, no matter who he kills!
That's all.
He even got his butt slapped by this little girl, so what else could he not accept?
The emperor said, "I will do as you say!"
Upon seeing the patient... oh no, it's the emperor!
Seeing the emperor's cooperation, Yuan Yao was overjoyed.
She stretched out her chubby little hand and gently patted the emperor's shoulder: "Your Majesty, Yao'er believes in you!"
"With your hard work and ambition, when Father returns and sees the Emperor looking so much better, he'll be astonished!"
Ah Yuan, did you see the scene where he became more handsome?
How will he react?
The emperor couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips: "I'll grit my teeth and persevere."
For several days in a row, Yuan Yao claimed to be ill and did not go out.
The emperor, on the other hand, would go to Qianhua Palace every evening.
They came on foot, but returned by sedan chair.
The emperor would glare angrily at the eunuch who jolted the sedan chair, as if he wanted to chop off the eunuch's head.
Before long, word spread in the palace that Princess Yuan Yao had fallen seriously ill after being forced to kneel by the Empress Dowager and being exposed to the rain for too long, leaving her with a chronic illness...
Yuan Yao, who had developed a chronic illness, spent her days holed up in the Yuehua Palace, living a particularly comfortable life.
Every day, when Yu'er returned from Sishichun, she would bring her a lot of desserts.
Yu'er also relayed a message from Manager Bai: "The business at Si Shi Chun is booming, with many customers taking food away, and the demand for food boxes is huge..."
In ancient times, there wasn't as much packaging as there is today.
Here, takeout food is usually packed in oil paper or on a small plate, then placed in a food container...
The desserts sold at Si Shi Chun are special, such as ice cream and double-skin milk pudding, which require a lot of plates and food containers.
Yuan Yao pondered for a long time and said to Yu'er, "You talk to Uncle Bai and write a sign to hang in the shop so that customers who want to take away food can bring their own food boxes."
If you insist on using the restaurant's food containers, you'll need to pay for them yourself.
“But wouldn’t customers think that Si Shi Chun is doing well and is deliberately raising prices?” Yu’er asked worriedly.
“But we can’t afford to lose money ourselves!” Yuan Yao said.
She runs a business, not a charity.
Moreover, Si Shi Chun has such a large store and a large customer capacity.
Many people are probably too embarrassed to eat in restaurants.
Yu'er thought about it and felt that Yuan Yao's words made sense.
At this moment, Yuan Yao added, "Sister Yu'er, could you mention it to Uncle Bai again and ask him to hire two more employees?"
"You're hiring more staff?" Yu'er asked doubtfully. "But we already have enough staff in the shop."
Yuan Yao shook his head: "These two guys aren't for serving, they're for delivering food!"
"Takeout?" Yu'er asked in surprise.
What is food delivery?
Yuan Yao explained, "When it gets hot, some people may want to eat seasonal spring desserts, but they are too lazy to go out."
At this point, they could send someone to tell Sishi Chun what they wanted to eat, and Sishi Chun would then have its staff deliver it to them.
After a long pause to process what she had just learned, Yu'er finally asked, "But couldn't they have their own servants come and buy it?"
“It’s different,” Yuan Yao said earnestly. “The experience of having the service delivered to your door is different from having a nanny come to buy it!”
"We deliver this food to provide customers with an experience!"
nanny?
Yu'er was stunned.
She didn't know why the princess always used such strange and unusual words.
However, she felt that the princess made a good point.
Yu'er nodded and said, "I will definitely convey the princess's words!"
"Yes, yes! Thank you for your hard work, Sister Yu'er!" Yuan Yao said with a smile.
Yu'er shook her head, then smiled shyly and said, "Sometimes, I really feel that the princess is like a fairy reincarnated."
Yuan Yao: "?"
She? A fairy reincarnated?
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Yes! I also think I'm a fairy reincarnated!"
Manager Bai is efficient in his work.
The next day, Yu'er came back and said that Manager Bai had already recruited people and was conducting training.
Yuan Yao thought for a moment, wrote a letter containing the training content, and gave it to Manager Bai.
Moreover, she allocated a sum of money, with Manager Bai in charge and Yu'er assisting, to buy high-quality materials for all the employees of Sishichun to make work uniforms...
Before long, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet arrived.
The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was held at Renshou Palace.
Although she has absolutely nothing to do with the word "benevolence"...
On the first day of the birthday banquet, the palace was brightly lit.
Yuan Yao didn't sleep all night and first went to Renshou Palace.
The Empress happened to be there when she arrived.
Upon seeing her, the Empress, who was busy at work, stopped and asked, "Yao'er, why did you come in person? Are you feeling better?"
Yuan Yao still had a good impression of the Empress.
She walked over, bowed, and said obediently, "Your Majesty, Yao'er is much better now."
The Queen nodded.
Then she said, "I have already ordered someone to prepare a separate courtyard for your people to use."
Everyone in the courtyard will be emptied out; no one will be left behind.
Outside the gate, imperial guards would always be stationed.
This is to prevent someone from tampering with it.
Your Majesty, you've thought things through very thoroughly.
Yuan Yao said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress..."
"It is I who should thank you." The Empress held her small hand and said gently, "The Empress Dowager specifically requested that Si Shi Chun Lai make the dessert, and as her daughter-in-law, I could not object."
"Thanks to you, you helped me with this."
"Your Majesty, there's no need to thank Yao'er," Yuan Yao said. "Yao'er still gets paid!"
After speaking, she blinked.
Today she wore a soft, flowing white dress, making her look gentle, sweet, and incredibly cute.
The more the Empress looked at it, the more she liked it.
After glancing around, the Empress said in a low voice, "The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is a major event. With the Ninth Prince not here, you must act with caution. If you are unsure about anything, come and find me."
If all else fails, then go to the Emperor, understand?
The Empress's voice was gentle yet tinged with seriousness.
Yuan Yao opened her clear, bright eyes and said, "Yao'er understands."
"good."
The Empress couldn't resist, and with her slender white fingers, she gently rubbed the top of her head.
Yes, it's as soft as I imagined...
The Empress had other matters to attend to, so she paused for a moment before continuing her work.
Yuan Yao led her entourage into the courtyard that the Empress had prepared for her—the Plum Blossom Courtyard.
The kitchen is brand new.
All kinds of pots and pans are in place, and no one has touched them.
However, Yuan Yao was still worried.
She said to Yu'er, "All of these things must be boiled in boiling water for fifteen minutes before they can be used."
If any unfamiliar people walk in, tie them up immediately and come find me, understand?
Yu'er nodded: "This servant will remember!"
Yuan Yao said, "Right now, with Father not here, there must be many unscrupulous people secretly watching us. We must be careful."
After all ingredients and food are prepared, be sure to cover them upside down and label them clearly..."
After giving instructions to Yu'er and the palace servants who were making desserts, Yuan Yao went to a corner.
She looked around and exclaimed, "Unstoppable momentum!"
Four figures landed simultaneously in the shadows at the corner of the wall.
Yuan Yao's sweet little voice was somewhat serious: "With Daddy away, I have a tough battle to fight."
"You guys need to cooperate with me, understand?"
