Zhao Yunjin is the current emperor's sixth son and one of his most favored princes.
Although the sixth prince has a scar on his face, he is intelligent, wise, talented, and has a powerful background, which makes him awe-inspiring.
It's truly astonishing that Yu Zhizhi could become friends with such an important figure.
Zhu Yuanting leaned close to their ears and whispered, "Judging from their tone and demeanor, they don't seem to be lying."
To be honest, he really didn't dare to provoke this aloof and cold sixth prince.
Especially now that his face is disfigured, he looks even more sinister and terrifying, inspiring fear in people.
Only then did Zhang Lei begin to take Yu Zhizhi seriously, coldly mocking, "What improper means did you use to get close to the Sixth Prince? Don't forget, you are now just a lowly merchant's daughter, and you are not worthy of being his friend at all."
Yu Zhizhi smiled disdainfully and retorted, "There is no distinction between high and low status among friends. Anyway, the Sixth Prince is my friend. You'd better stay away from me and don't provoke me."
"Otherwise, given the Sixth Prince's temperament, you should all know what's going on."
Yu Shujin, who was standing to the side, was so frightened that her legs went weak and she was trembling uncontrollably.
He remembered his father's warning that if he encountered the Sixth Prince, he must get away as soon as possible and never provoke him.
Now that Yu Zhizhi has the Sixth Prince backing her up, he naturally wouldn't dare to provoke her anymore.
So he stammered, "I suddenly have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Watching Yu Shujin flee in a disheveled state, Zhang Lei couldn't help but curse inwardly: What a coward!
"Hmph! Yu Zhizhi, we'll see!" Zhang Lei glared at Yu Zhizhi fiercely, uttered these harsh words, and then turned and left.
Seeing the two slip away, Zhu Yuanting finally realized what was happening and said, "Wait for me!"
Finally, they got rid of the three of them.
Yu Zhizhi felt that her ears were instantly much quieter.
She glanced at what He Yang was holding: "Didn't I tell you to stay at the manor today and get some rest?"
He Yang held up several boxes of pastries in his hand. "My cousin came to the capital from Yuzhou Prefecture to visit relatives. These are osmanthus pastries, a local specialty. They taste pretty good, so I brought them here for you to try."
Yu Zhizhi grinned, "At least you have a conscience."
"Big brother, can I take twenty more ice creams back to the manor from here? Grandfather stole half of the ten ice creams I took last time, and then he took two of the remaining five."
He Yang scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and continued, "Grandfather said we should treat her with courtesy. Since my cousin brought some famous local pastries, we should also bring out some very famous ice cream from the capital to serve her. So..."
Yu Zhizhi finally understood; he intended to exchange pastries for ice cream.
This method must have been conceived by Grandfather He.
That was a really clever move of his!
She wanted ice cream, but she actually used her grandson to ask her for it by being polite.
He also made sure to praise her.
Indeed, experience is the best teacher!
At the same time, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but mentally complain about He Yang.
This kid, I thought he brought the ice cream home last time to share with his family, but I didn't expect he wanted to eat it all by himself!
No wonder he's so fat.
"Okay. Take thirty ice creams back with you to treat your guests properly!"
With a broad smile, He Yang praised, "Boss, you're beautiful inside and out. It would be an injustice if you didn't become rich!"
Yu Zhizhi liked hearing this.
She couldn't resist asking a gossipy question: "Is your cousin beautiful? Is she married yet?"
"She's alright looking. She's not married yet, but my maternal grandfather and his family are keen to strengthen the ties between our two families through marriage."
Yu Zhizhi stopped and glanced at him sideways. "Let me give you a piece of advice: if you want your future children to be smarter and easier to raise than you, never fall for your cousin."
Marriage between close relatives is unacceptable.
Seeing her serious tone, He Yang replied with a grin, "Don't worry. My cousin has a fiery temper and isn't gentle at all; she's not my type."
His cousin used to pinch his cheeks and pull his ears when she was little. He's noticed that her personality hasn't changed much as she's grown up. He's very protective of his life, and he doesn't want to marry a violent woman like that.
Besides, his cousin didn't like him either.
After He Yang left, Yu Zhizhi returned to her room.
She was wide awake and it was time to call Little Winter Melon. She wondered what level of reward she could get from this stall.
This time it will definitely be no worse than last time.
what to do!
Yu Zhizhi was thrilled just thinking about it.
"Winter melon spirit, come out quickly!"
"Host, congratulations on your successful stall setup! Hooray!"
Yu Zhizhi said with a smile, "Our lovely little winter melon, could you show yourself for just one minute? I want to see you."
Little Winter Melon pouted and quickly refused, "Let's not see each other."
It hasn't forgotten the time she pinched its winter melon skin—it hurt terribly! This sudden desire to see it is definitely up to no good.
"Host, let's get straight to the point! Based on your overall performance this time, the system has given you a score of 91, earning you a Level 5 reward."
After hearing this, Yu Zhizhi smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared. "So, my reward this time is the Anywhere Door?"
My goodness! How is she so amazing?
Seeing her lying on the bed with a big smile on her face, legs crossed, toes twitching, Little Winter Melon shook his head, indicating that he couldn't bear to look.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Could we change the level 5 reward to a level 4 reward this time?"
Oh dear!
If she had agreed to sell two ice creams to that young master Wen halfway up Mount Putuo yesterday, the system would have definitely deducted some points from her, and she would have received a level four reward.
Honestly, she actually wanted the level four reward more this time.
I blame myself for being too outstanding.
Yu Zhizhi started acting cute, "My little winter melon, could you please talk to the system and replace the Anywhere Door with a magic pill?"
Little Winter Melon shook his head, looking troubled: "There's no way to change it this time. But if you get a level 5 reward again next time, I'll do my best to change it to a level 4 reward for you."
Yu Zhizhi sighed with some regret: "Alright!"
It seems we can only ask the Sixth Prince to wait a little longer.
"Host, when do you plan to redeem the reward?"
"Now."
Then she added, "Exchange now, use tomorrow."
She decided to strike while the iron was hot, since she had been so lucky this time, and maybe she really would have a chance to go back to the modern world through the Anywhere Door and see her family and friends.
Little Winter Melon immediately replied, "Okay, no problem. I've already mentioned it to you before. After using the Anywhere Door, you will be taken to any place. There's also a 20% chance that you can return to the present and see your family and friends."
"Host, good luck!"
Yu Zhizhi took a deep breath, then clicked the confirmation button on the virtual panel, selected to use the Anywhere Door tomorrow, and set the stay duration to one day.
