ound coming from it as well.This time it's two crucian carp and one grass carp, each weighing four or five catties!That's strange!Li Laosi's heart pounded. He remembered the previous few times when t...Okay, the two of you agreed to go into business together. How can you just halfway through give your shares to someone else!

Even though she is his biological daughter, that's not acceptable!

This is a betrayal, breaking promises, and being untrustworthy!

Jia Yin truly wanted to hurl every word she could think of at the Emperor's face.

Perhaps it was because her eyes were too bright, reflecting every thought, that the emperor felt quite uneasy being looked at by Jia Yin.

He coughed twice and tentatively suggested, "That is to say, Fu Niao'er, I was also forced by the third princess.

"If you're unwilling, then come up with a good plan for me to clear my ears, alright"

Jia Yin really wants to roll her eyes.

As the ruler of a country, don't you feel ashamed to push difficult problems onto children!

But you can't say that.

She was flustered and quickly pouted, her eyes turning red as she choked back tears and said: "Uncle Huang is a bad person. He promised to team up with me to make money, but how could Uncle Huang give the shop to someone else!"

"It's okay for others too, why is it Princess Three She doesn't like Fu Niuer, Fu Niuer is afraid of being locked in the darkroom, she doesn't even dare to come to the palace. Even Emperor Uncle wants her and Fu Niuer to open a shop together."

"Wah wah, Fu Niu'er is afraid, Fu Niu'er doesn't want to argue with her!"

As she spoke, her tears fell like broken beads, pattering down.

The Emperor, having grown accustomed to the girl's bright smile and cleverness after seeing it countless times, was flustered when he saw her crying. He hurriedly tried to console and comfort her.

"Don't cry, Fu Niuer. The Emperor didn't say he *has* to give the bedding to the Third Princess. If you don't agree, then don't give it. After all, you are the owner of the bedding shop, aren't you"

Jia Yin choked back a sob, her long lashes wet with tears, and asked, "Really Uncle Huang isn't afraid that the Third Princess will come and cause a commotion"

The emperor nodded, “Don’t worry about it. At worst, I’ll give her another shop and let her do whatever she wants.”

"I'm afraid not," Jiayin shook her head, "The Third Princess is envious of Funiu's prosperous business. She's also angry that Emperor Uncle did business with Funiu without including her."

It's indeed the truth, and the Emperor is well aware of it.

But palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, he knew exactly that his daughter was doing this to compete for his love and attention, so he couldn't bear to refuse.

Jia Yin wiped away a tear and said in a dejected voice, "My adoptive father said that the Emperor is very hard-pressed with his daily work of reviewing documents. He asked me to cheer him up and not cause him any trouble."

"Since the emperor is having a hard time, then Funiu'er will help the emperor think of a way..."

"Good, good, Fu Niao'er is the most sensible." The emperor quickly praised her, wanting to comfort the little girl in front of him and also wanting to hear what good ideas she had.

"Uncle Huang, the only ones who know about the East Family in the white clouds are you and me. We absolutely cannot tell anyone else. Since Third Princess Sister insists on meddling, then let her open a branch in the south of the city."

After all, Xindu is so big, guests have to come to Baiyunjian for cake, and some complain that it's too far and are unwilling to come.

But she can't meddle in the affairs of Baiyun Guan, nor can she demand all the dessert recipes, and certainly not steal my master chef!

"Her branch can get snacks from the clouds every day to sell, and I can give her a 20% discount. She can make money."

This way, she wouldn't have to worry about making sweets poorly and ruining Baiyun Guan's newly established reputation. Afterwards, she wouldn't need to put too much effort into managing it, she just needed to know how to read the accounts books.

The Emperor pondered for a moment, and he also thought this idea was good.

The third princess is just envious and wants something new. She's just a young girl with a temper.

Let her open a new shop, play for a few days and earn some money, she definitely won't make trouble anymore.

Most importantly, the two little girls didn't have to squeeze into one bed anymore, so they naturally stopped arguing.

"Alright, that's settled then," the Emperor chuckled. "You don't have to worry about anything. Just make a few extra pastries at Baiyun Pavilion for the Third Princess's new branch."

As for whether she can sell it and if she will make a loss, that is the third princess's own business. If she does lose money, then she will know how difficult it is to run a shop and how hard-earned money is, and that would be even better.

Jia Yin retorted with a nasal tone, humming, "Our shop's snacks are the best. We couldn't possibly lose money even if we sold them blindfolded."

"Alright, alright, it's definitely not a loss." The Emperor laughed, rubbing the little girl's hair, feeling a bit guilty in his heart. He quickly ordered Yi, the head steward, to get things ready.

The headpiece for the handcrafted jewelry set is a must-have.

From the south came tribute: eight bolts of silk, two pelts of silver fox, two pelts of purple marten...

Jia Yin entered the palace empty-handed and left with bags, once again showing everyone what it means to "empty-handedly" take on the "emperor." Her favor remained undiminished.

The Third Princess had already sent someone to watch over the Imperial Study. Hearing that Jia Yin had left, she hurried over there.

"Father, Father! That... that lowly... no, Princess Kangle actually gave up her place!" She was so excited she almost blurted out the word "lowly girl."

The emperor was already feeling guilty, and seeing his beloved daughter so incompetent only made him angrier.

He stated directly, "Baiyun's place belongs to County Lord Kangle. Why would she give it up to you"

"I'm giving you a shop in the south of the city. Have someone fix it up, and later on, make it a branch of Baiyun Guan. All the snacks can be taken from Baiyun Guan!"

"County Princess Kangle agreed to lower the price by 20%. You won't need any costs or effort, just sell it and you'll make a profit.

"I'll just watch. Is something this simple also beyond your capabilities!"

Having said that, he turned and went into the inner hall, leaving the Third Princess staring blankly.

When she came to her senses, she stomped her feet and tried to chase after him, but Mr. Yi and his men stopped her.

"Third Princess, you should just listen to the Emperor. If you keep making a fuss, you might anger him, and afterwards, the princess might not be allowed into the Imperial study!"

Yi Zongguan frowned and whispered, "Even if the princess is unhappy, let's just wait a while. If the shop does well and the Emperor is pleased, everything will be fine..."

The Third Princess thought about it and realized this was the only way to avoid being confined by her father again.

So, she rarely listened to advice for once and stormed off.

Yi Zongguan straightened his back and looked at her retreating figure, frowning.

He was truly somewhat regretful, for previously he should not have proposed to the Emperor to inquire about County Princess Kangle.

That adorable little chubby girl, she always smiled when talking to him, not a hint of disdain or contempt. He genuinely liked her too.

But he knew the emperor too well. The third princess was the emperor's own flesh and blood, so he would certainly show her favoritism.

He had already done his best to get Princess Kangle to figure things out on her own…

Outside the palace, beside Li family's carriage, there was also a carriage from the Marquis' mansion.

As soon as Jia Yin stepped out of the palace gates, she saw her adoptive father getting out of his carriage. She ran over and hugged her adoptive father's arm.

The Marquis said nothing, lifted her onto the carriage, and instructed the driver, Ye Shan, “Take Grandma He and Shui Ling back to Suijintan to report, saying that I’ve taken the County Princess for a walk and will be back soon.”

Mountaineer Ye Shan bowed in response and, pulling along Grandma He and Shui Ling, hurried away…fe was also surprised. She was afraid the villagers wouldn't be willing to part with them, so she helped explain, “After offering them to the palace, our cantaloupes and honeydew melons here will beco...
