"You're so unfair!"
"This was made for me by my imperial sister. If you want some, ask your sister to make it for you too!"
The two were playfully bickering when Yun Duoduo's stomach started growling. Seeing that Yun Yishu was alright, she prepared to leave, saying, "Third brother, I'll be going now."
She needs to go to the imperial kitchen to find something to eat.
"You should rest well. Your younger sister will come to see you again tomorrow."
"Chunhua, see the imperial sister off!" Yun Yishu struggled to get up, but Ben Yunduo pressed her back down on the bed.
"Aunt Chunhua, there's no need to trouble yourself. This princess will go directly to the imperial kitchen for lunch."
...
Upon arriving at the imperial kitchen, the cooks and eunuchs, seeing that it was the princess, hurriedly greeted her.
"Ninth Princess, are you satisfied with the milk tea we made?" a young eunuch asked obsequiously.
"Mmm, it tastes good!"
Although Yun Duoduo didn't get to drink the milk tea, she remembered her third brother's expression at the time, so it must have tasted delicious.
"I'm glad the Ninth Princess likes it." The little eunuch rubbed his hands together.
"This, Snow-capped Peak with Emerald Greenery, have you found it?" Yun Duoduo asked tentatively, wanting to know what they were made of.
“We were foolish, but thanks to Princess Jianing, who said it was green tea, we used green tea to make it.”
Princess Jianing? Zhuangzhuang?
[Emma, it was Zhuangzhuang! Zhuangzhuang is still the one I love the most!]
"Alright, thank you for your hard work. I will inform my father and reward you handsomely!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
"Prepare some food."
"Oh, little princess, this food box is just about to be sent to Fushuang Palace!" Aunt Wu brought over a food box and placed it in front of Yun Duoduo.
Several observant eunuchs brought over stools for Yun Duoduo to sit on.
She opened the food box and found braised lion's head meatballs, steamed pork ribs, and several side dishes inside.
"Mmm, it smells delicious!"
After Yun Duoduo finished eating and drinking, she prepared to go to class.
The schools in the capital were still closed for the holidays, but as a princess, Yun Duoduo had a lot to learn, so the Empress Dowager arranged many tutoring and training classes for her.
There was nothing she could do; even if she didn't want to, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead with it.
Sun Huohuo and Guan Guan, as accompanying students, are also being trained as management trainees, so naturally they have to give up all their rest and playtime to accompany Yun Duoduo to class and study.
Poor Sun Huohuo, who doesn't like studying, has to work in the palace at such a young age. But at least he's a civil servant now, with a permanent position, so his future won't be too bad.
"Princess, the steward of the Imperial Household Department has been sent to the torture chamber by the Empress. The Imperial Household Department has also sent someone to deliver the best charcoal." Ah Xiang told Yun Duoduo the results after returning from Zhaoyang Palace.
"Yes, we can't keep these sycophantic lackeys who fawn over the powerful and bully the weak."
Although she couldn't single-handedly reform the entire palace and keep only the good servants, since she had encountered them, she had to get rid of them and not let these people with no good intentions harm more people.
Thinking of this, Yun Duoduo suddenly thought of Tan Biao.
Tan Biao has committed numerous evil deeds, but because of the powerful forces behind him, the Emperor has never severely punished him. It seems we need to find a way to deal with him.
Guan Guan and Sun Huohuo were also in the chess class this afternoon.
This is a good opportunity to discuss it.
...
At night, the Zichen Palace was brightly lit.
Xia Zi brought in a bowl of lily bulb, white fungus, and lotus seed soup, and whispered in Yun Bei Ye's ear, "Your Majesty, it's getting dark. Have a bowl of hot lotus seed soup and rest."
"Hmm, go see if your master has returned yet?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiazi placed the small porcelain bowl of lily bulb, white fungus, and lotus seed soup on the table, opened the white porcelain lid, put the soup spoon down, and then went out to check.
In the distance, I saw a dejected figure who looked very tired.
"master?!"
"Oh dear, disciple, come here quickly and give your master a shoulder massage."
Zhao Zhongquan called out from afar, stretching out a hand to signal Xia Zi to come and help her.
"Master, Your Majesty, just now you asked me to come out and see if you had returned."
Xiazi jogged over and helped Zhao Zhongquan up by the arm.
"Oh, His Majesty is waiting? Let's go."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old servant has returned!"
“This servant deserves to die! He only came back after dark!” Zhao Zhongquan called out softly.
Xia Zi pushed open the door to the Zichen Palace, lifted the curtain, and after Zhao Zhongquan went in, he closed the door again.
"Your servant greets Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhongquan knelt on the ground and bowed.
Yun Beiye had just finished his lily bulb, white fungus, and lotus seed soup in the porcelain bowl. He wiped his mouth, cleared his throat, and said, "So, how did things go?"
"Your Majesty, the child trafficking hideout has been destroyed, and the traffickers have all been arrested."
An investigation by the Beijing garrison and the Dali Temple revealed that the foreign shop selling crystal balls and the fat auntie belonged to the same human trafficking organization. The crystal ball shop was responsible for transmitting information and conducting buying and selling transactions, while the fat auntie was responsible for capturing young children.
"Your Majesty, the children who were imprisoned have had their biological parents found based on their household registration and portraits, and they have all been safely sent home," Zhao Zhongquan reported.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead as he spoke.
"I have found the little princess's gold hairpin, purse, and gold bracelet and sent them to Fushuang Palace."
"Hmm, this matter has been handled well. There are some leftover pastries on the table; you can take them and eat them." Yun Beiye looked at the remaining plate of white jade bean cake, hibiscus osmanthus cake, and braised beef on the table.
"This old servant thanks Your Majesty!"
