Chapter 1061, Pampering
After strolling through two streets, the Emperor felt somewhat tired. Seeing the capital's largest jewelry store, Wanbao Pavilion, just ahead, he smiled and asked Dao Mang, "Would your Grandfather take you there to buy some pearl flowers?"
Hearing this, Daomang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, okay."
The three brothers and sisters Daozi have one thing in common, which is that they particularly like exquisite and small objects.
As soon as the emperor said this, the rice and rice seedlings became happy.
Soon, they arrived at Duowanbao Pavilion.
Dao Mang's eyes sparkled as he looked at the ladies coming out of the building: "Grandpa Emperor, there are so many beautiful ladies here!"
The emperor was amused by the little girl's coveting look: "Do you like beautiful sister?"
Daomang nodded hurriedly.
The emperor was curious: "Why?"
"It's pleasing to the eyes." Dao Mang gave the emperor a look that said 'you don't even know this'.
“Hahaha~”
The emperor burst into laughter.
Dao Mang thought the emperor was making fun of him, and immediately pouted unhappily.
The emperor quickly comforted him: "Grandpa Huang thinks you are right. Beautiful people are indeed pleasing to the eye. Grandpa Huang also likes to look at them."
Seeing that he was recognized, Dao Mang forgave the emperor.
The emperor asked again: "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Daomang nodded hurriedly.
The emperor walked into the jewelry store holding Daoshao, just like an ordinary grandfather with his granddaughter.
As soon as he entered, Dao Mang stopped looking at the ladies and stared straight at the exquisite ornaments in the window.
Just at this moment, the shop assistant took out a new golden makeup box with a phoenix pattern on it. It was only the size of an adult's palm, inlaid with gems and hung with pearl pendants. At first sight, the little girl Daomang liked it and wanted to take it with both hands.
The emperor was almost hugged, and he was so scared that he hugged the little girl tightly: "Don't worry, don't worry, with Grandpa Emperor here, no one can take your things away."
Dao Mang still pointed at the makeup box anxiously: "Yes!"
The emperor quickly carried the little girl over.
Just as she was about to reach the counter, the little girl Daomang had already stretched out her hand. When she was about to reach the makeup box, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and quickly took the makeup box away.
Dao Mang was stunned, his little mouth slightly open, looking shocked as if a cooked duck suddenly flew away from his sight.
The emperor was also stunned. Someone actually snatched away the thing that his family's Daomang had set their eyes on right in front of him?!
Moreover, he had just solemnly promised the little girl that no one would dare to snatch things from her.
Good man, he barely finished speaking when someone slapped him in the face.
The emperor's eyes suddenly became unfriendly.
Eunuch An, who was following behind, was also stunned for a moment. There was nothing he could do. As the chief eunuch beside the emperor, he had not encountered such a thing for a long time.
Even Xiao Morong was a little dazed.
If the Emperor values something, everyone will eagerly offer it to him, competing with him for it.
Xiao Morong glanced at the middle-aged lady who was happily admiring the makeup box and felt that she looked familiar. Then his eyes flickered. This person seemed to be from the Bai family.
The Bai family is the maiden family of the Second Prince's wife.
At the scene, only the rice and rice seedlings were the calmest. They didn't think this was a big deal. There were so many beautiful items in the store, so they could just choose again.
Besides, it was my sister’s fault that she was slow and didn’t get what she liked.
Eunuch An came to his senses and immediately wanted to step forward to negotiate with the middle-aged lady. However, before he could open his mouth, the lady seemed to know what he was going to say and simply handed the banknote to the steward.
"This makeup box has caught my eye. Please pack it for me."
The manager did not take the banknote immediately. Under normal circumstances, he would have completed the transaction immediately, but this time, he looked hesitant.
There are so many nobles in the capital city that in order not to offend anyone, Wanbao Pavilion follows the principle of first come first served for all items in the store.
If there are really people fighting over the same thing, they will not interfere.
However, as the manager of Wanbao Pavilion, he had seen countless people and could tell at a glance that Eunuch An was a eunuch.
Only members of the royal family were accompanied by eunuchs.
The manager took one look at the old man holding the little girl, then quickly looked away. There was nothing he could do, the pressure from the old man was too strong.
Anyone in the royal family who can have such a strong sense of oppression must be holding great power.
Wanbao Pavilion cannot afford to offend such people, so let them fight it out on their own.
As for who will win, it depends on their respective abilities and backgrounds.
Seeing the steward standing still, the middle-aged lady glanced at Eunuch An and the others and snorted coldly, "Steward, what are you standing there for? Wrap it up for me quickly."
As she spoke, she slowly adjusted her hair and said with a smile, "In this capital, there are not many people who dare to compete with me for things."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. In public, Eunuch An didn't want to use his power to oppress others, lest his master be criticized. But when he saw the man in front of him being so arrogant, he snorted coldly: "What a coincidence! No one has ever dared to compete with my master for anything."
The little girl, Dao Mang, noticed that the atmosphere in the air seemed to be getting tense, and she quickly hugged the emperor and said, "Grandpa Emperor, I don't want that anymore. Let's look at something else."
Grandpa Huang?
Emperor Grandpa?
People in the capital are quite sensitive to the word "emperor". As soon as the little girl called him that, the expressions of the steward and the second wife of the Bai family changed.
Soon, sweat began to seep out of the steward's forehead.
The second wife of the Bai family also looked a little confused, and she put down the makeup box in her hand.
The emperor had no time to deal with the two of them. He looked at Dao Mang in surprise. Although he had not taken care of children before, he knew that children were very protective of things. Generally, if they liked something, they would definitely get it.
"Really?"
Daomang nodded: "No."
The emperor looked surprised: "Why, didn't you like it just now?"
Dao Mang: "But I didn't get it. My mother said that everyone likes good things in the world. If you don't get it, you have to accept it and not bully others."
The emperor was really surprised. He didn't expect that a little girl who was only three years old could say such words and actually do it.
Dao Mang's eyes had turned to other things at this time: "Okay, Grandpa Huang, don't waste time, let's go and see other things. After Dad and Mom are done, we should go back home. Grandfather is still waiting for us to go back for dinner."
Seeing the little girl's anxious look, the emperor laughed twice and said, "Okay, let's go pick out some other things." Then he looked at the steward and said, "Take out all the little girls' things in your store."
The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly asked the waiter to get things.
The emperor carried the rice stalks to the counter and sat down. Then someone pulled his robe. When he looked down, he found that they were rice seedlings.
Dao Miao would not miss the opportunity to fight for her own interests: "Grandpa Emperor, my brother and I also want to choose." After saying that, she paused and said, "Oh, and Fourth Brother too."
The emperor laughed, carried the rice seedlings to sit next to the rice awns, and then looked at the steward: "Take out the boy's things as well."
Daozi hurriedly pulled Xiao Morong over to pick.
At this moment, several eye-catching figures stepped into the Wanbao Pavilion.
The people who came were Xiao Yeyang and the eldest prince and others.
It is difficult for outsiders to see the emperor, but Xiao Yeyang and the eldest prince have all met him more or less, and they recognized their identities at a glance.
Seeing several people respectfully walking up to the old man and paying their respects, the steward was so scared that his legs went weak, and the second wife of the Bai family turned pale.
"Dad, you are finally here. We have met Grandpa Huang."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang, Dao Mang was delighted and excitedly shared with him what happened today: "Grandpa Huang climbed over the wall into my brother's residence before, and we almost caught him as a thief."
When she said this, there was a smug expression on the face of the little girl Daomang.
Xiao Yeyang was speechless. Seeing the emperor's indescribable expression, he couldn't help but laugh.
The eldest princes looked at each other in confusion. When they noticed the emperor's helpless yet doting expression when he looked at Dao Mang, they were all very puzzled.
The little girl is very cute, but what's with that doting and loving look on her father's face?
This is not my granddaughter!
