The Empress Dowager: "..."
She had never seen such strange and curious things.
Ye Tangtang immediately walked over and introduced them to the Empress Dowager one by one.
"Imperial Grandmother, these are Ice Skates. Put them on, and you can experience what it feels like to fly. Look, there are four wheels on these shoes. They're very fast."
"And this is Floral Water. You can use it as perfume. Spray it on yourself, and the scent lasts a long time."
"A lighter. Just press it gently, and you get a flame. It's very convenient."
"This Mopping Robot can clean the floor as long as you set it on the ground. You won't need the palace maid sisters at all."
"Of course, the most amazing thing is this camera. It only takes one second to put you in a picture."
The Empress Dowager smiled at the curious gadgets. "They sound so fun. Can I wear these Ice Skates?"
The corners of Ye Tangtang's mouth twitched. "..."
Ice Skates? What if the Empress Dowager puts them on, falls, and drops dead?
No, no, I absolutely can't let her wear them. If anything happens to her, my miserable little life will be over too.
The Empress Dowager: "..."
Ye Tangtang continued, "Imperial Grandmother, I think this Floral Water would suit you better. Spray it on, and it prevents mosquito bites in summer and keeps you smelling lovely in winter."
"Good, good. They're all good."
The Empress Dowager simply adored these curious gadgets and kept asking Ye Tangtang to explain them.
Ye Tangtang picked up the familiar Little Camera and said, "Imperial Grandmother, I'll draw you a photograph for free. Everyone else has to pay one Gold Sycee for a photograph."
"Yes, yes. I like that." The Empress Dowager nodded repeatedly, smiling so widely she could not close her mouth.
Taking pictures came easily to Ye Tangtang. She found a good angle and took a beautiful photograph of the Empress Dowager.
Once the Empress Dowager saw it, she could not bear to put it down. She kept posing for Ye Tangtang to take more pictures and even had a platter of Gold Sycees prepared.
Ye Tangtang: "!!"
Something this good can happen? I thought coming here would cost me my life. I never imagined I'd actually make money.
Let's get to work! Let's get to work! Nothing can stop my march toward making money!
The Empress Dowager might be old, but she's a mischievous child at heart. Photograph this, photograph that, play with this, play with that. Is there no end to it?
Still, for the sake of my darling little sycees, I'll endure it.
Empress Lu gnashed her teeth in fury. She had brought out the Empress Dowager to teach Ye Tangtang a proper lesson, only for Ye Tangtang to hoodwink her too.
And what was wrong with this Empress Dowager? At her age, she still loved playing around so much!
Did I bring you here to play??
That old hag is completely useless.
Empress Lu was so angry that smoke practically rose from her head. She shot the Imperial Preceptor a look.
The Imperial Preceptor immediately spoke. "Your Majesty, the little princess is truly a demon. You must not get too close to her, or illness will plague you."
The Empress Dowager frowned. "What demon? I can still judge for myself. It isn't your place to speak here. Tang Tang, let's continue. What did you say this Liquid Foundation does?"
Ye Tangtang explained, "Apply it to your face, and it can cover your wrinkles, Imperial Grandmother."
"It's that magical!"
Ye Tangtang smiled brightly. "Of course. Honest dealing for young and old alike. Imperial Grandmother, you only need to pay ten Gold Sycees to own it."
The Empress Dowager waved a hand. "Good, good, good. Meizhi, hurry. Go fetch the sycees."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hahahaha! Another ten big sycees in my pocket! Hahaha, I really am a genius.
Not bad, not bad. I've earned thirty big sycees just by coming here. Sure enough, old people's money is easy to make.
Ye Tangtang picked up a sycee, put it in her mouth, and bit it.
It's real! It really is! I'm rich! I'm rich!
Ye Tangtang rubbed the big sycee against her cheek. Her precious little gold, hehe. Soon, she could go find handsome young men.
When Ye Yubei heard that something had happened to Ye Tangtang, he rushed from the Court to the Palace of Benevolent Peace in a blazing hurry. Yet the moment he entered, this was the scene that greeted him...
His daughter was wearing the Green Little Dinosaur Pajamas, hugging a pile of gold and rubbing it against her face, her smile brimming with smug delight...
Ye Yubei: "..."
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Everyone dropped to their knees. Empress Lu's expression stiffened, and she knelt along with them.
He actually came so quickly!
"This servant pays respects to Your Majesty."
Ye Tangtang: Huh? Why is Scumbag Dad here?
"Tang Tang, are you hurt? Tell Mommy if you're hurt. Did they hit you? Where did they hurt you?"
Shen Qingqing crouched and gathered her daughter into her arms. Tears shimmered in her eyes as she kissed Ye Tangtang's soft, fair cheek.
She had failed to protect her daughter. It was her fault.
*Hehehe, Mommy kissed me again! (ฅ＞ω＜*ฅ)*
Mommy is so soft and smells so nice! Nuzzle, nuzzle, bury my face! o'ᆺ'o
Shen Qingqing: "..."
Ye Tangtang shook her head. "Mommy, I'm not hurt."
Hahahaha! Not only am I unhurt, I even robbed Grandmother of loads of Gold Sycees.
My little Gold Sycees! I've made another huge profit this time. Imperial Grandmother's money is just too easy to earn. Let's do it again next time.
So much gold! Sob, sob, it nearly blinded my Titanium-Alloy Dog Eyes. This princess is one step closer to her 365 Princess Consorts.
I should really thank that old witch Empress. She dragged me here. Otherwise, how could I possibly have landed such a windfall? Ahahahaha!
Ye Yubei: "..."
He should never have worried about this daughter. Sure enough, she could swindle people wherever she went. She had even hoodwinked his mother.
Shen Qingqing: "..."
At a time like this, she was still thinking about robbing the Empress Dowager. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager could not hear Tang Tang's thoughts, or she would surely be furious enough to die.
The Empress Dowager was still studying the Liquid Foundation. Why would she care about that little bit of money?
Shen Qingqing felt her daughter constantly nuzzling against her chest and reached up to pull her away.
Ye Tangtang: (,,•́ . •̀,,)
Shen Qingqing: With that innocent face, what does she spend all day thinking about? I was nearly worried to death just now, yet my daughter was actually making money here.
Shen Qingqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. Still, thankfully, her Tang Tang was safe and sound.
Ye Tangtang looked up and saw Jun Yuyuan behind them. Why was he here too??
Why is that big villain Jun Yuyuan here too? He must want to see how badly I've been bullied. He's so mean!
This princess is a little lucky star. Not only did I turn danger into safety, I also made a huge pile of money.
Jun Yuyuan: "..."
Was he really that bad? He did not seem to have offended her, so why was he so awful in that little heartbreaker's mind?
If he had not sent someone to pass on the news, Ye Yubei would never have come.
Ye Yubei's piercing gaze swept over everyone around him. "Who gave you the nerve to lay hands on my little princess?"
The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the floor, trembling. Even Empress Lu could clearly feel Ye Yubei's fury.
"Imperial Daddy, they bullied Tang Tang. Tang Tang hurts so much..."
Ye Tangtang nestled pitifully in Ye Yubei's arms and tattled.
Empress Lu's face turned livid, then pale. Had she so much as touched this girl? And she was claiming it hurt??
Scumbag Dad is so domineering! All hail Scumbag Dad!
It was that old witch Empress Lu who wanted to kill me. Sob, sob, I'm so pitiful.
Ye Yubei's chilling gaze landed on Empress Lu...
