Chapter 735 Inquiring

Chapter 735: Inquiring Chapter 735: Inquiring Editor: Atlas Studios Mu Yangling made it such that the twins did not have any extra time to idle every day.

Unknowingly, they had been in the capital for seven to eight days, and the two of them had not caused trouble for a second time.

Bowen blinked and asked Mu Yangling, “Sister, you did it on purpose, right?” Mu Yangling glared at him and said, “The eldest brother is like a father.

Since Father is busy with work, can’t you be more domineering?” Bowen smiled at her ingratiatingly.

Mu Yangling snorted and said, “I’m accompanying Mother to Prosperous Street today and your brother-in-law is entering the palace.

I’ll leave you to make arrangements for the carriage and guards.” Bowen immediately straightened his body and replied, “Yes.” He turned around and strode off to arrange the itinerary.

Bosi and Kejia, who were playing with Little Bear, looked at each other and pounced forward to hug Mu Yangling’s leg.

They shouted, “Sister, we want to go shopping too!” “We also want to experience the culture and customs of the capital!” The corners of Mu Yangling’s mouth twitched.

She nodded and said, “No problem.

Let’s go.” Bosi fawningly went forward and took the initiative to pick up Little Bear.

He said with a smile, “Sister, just leave Little Bear to us.

Don’t worry, I guarantee that he won’t suffer a bump.

We won’t dare to urge him to do bad things again.” However, Little Bear did not appreciate it.

He spread his arms and shouted at his mother, “I want to walk by myself.

I want to walk by myself!” Bosi could only put him down and hold his hand with Kejia.

Prosperous Street was one of the most prosperous commercial streets in the capital.

Shu Wanniang and Little Madam Xia went to the silk shop to look at fabrics.

Seeing that the three children couldn’t stay idle, Mu Yangling asked the servants to stroll around with them.

Even though Kejia and Bosi were already ten years old, they were still children.

When they saw the snacks on the street, they couldn’t move.

However, they didn’t have money, and the servants behind them had received orders from Mu Yangling not to pay for them.

The two of them glanced at Little Bear before finally moving their gazes away from the snacks with difficulty.

They decided to go back and ask Bowen what they could do in the capital to earn money and if there was any work suitable for the two of them.

In the end, Kejia remembered that their mother had said that she used to embroider to earn money, and Sister Xiulan’s embroidery fetched an exorbitant price now.

Hence, Kejia leaned close to Bosi’s ear and said, “Second Brother, what do you think of me doing embroidery for money?” Bo thought of his sister’s embroidery skills and hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he nodded against his conscience and said, “You can try, but where would you get the fabrics, needles and thread?” Kejia said proudly, “When we go to the silk shop later, Mother will definitely buy fabric.

When the time comes, I’ll take the opportunity to ask the shopkeeper for some rags and ask Sister Rain for some needles and thread.

A stick of candied hawthorn only costs three copper coins.” Kejia almost drooled.

“Surely I can sell a pouch for a few hundred copper coins, right?” Hearing Kejia’s words, Bosi felt a little more confident.

“I’ll help you ask the shopkeeper about the price of those pouches later.” The two of them discussed in a low voice.

When they looked at the snacks on the street, they could already imagine how delicious they would be when they entered their mouths.

After taking a deep breath, they turned around resolutely to lead Little Bear back to the silk shop.

Little Bear also drooled at the sight of those snacks, but how could the servants dare to let him eat these snacks considering he was young and had a weak stomach?

They all lied to him and said that they didn’t have the money to buy the snacks.

Therefore, the first thing Little Bear did when he rushed back to the silk shop was to pounce into his mother’s arms and ask her for money.

“Mother, Little Bear is hungry.

I want money.” Mu Yangling stroked his head and asked with a smile, “Why do you need money?” “To buy something to eat.” “You don’t have to buy it.

I’ll get someone to buy it for you, okay?” Little Bear shook his head.

“I want to buy it myself.” Mu Yangling thought for a moment and waved at a pageboy and a maidservant.

“Lead Young Master to Tiptop Restaurant to buy some easy-to-digest snacks.” Mu Yangling took out a piece of silver and handed it to him.

She said with a smile, “Little Bear, remember to buy only as much as you can eat.

Don’t be wasteful and don’t stuff yourself with food, understand?” This was the first time Little Bear was holding money personally, so he nodded excitedly.

The servant also understood what Mu Yangling meant.

He went forward and carried Little Prince to Tiptop Restaurant.

Just as Little Bear was about to point at the street and shout, he smelled the fragrance coming from Tiptop Restaurant and immediately stayed obediently in the servant’s arms.

Little Bear didn’t know how to order from a menu and insisted on looking at the physical items.

Thus, the maidservant went to look for the shopkeeper of Tiptop Restaurant.

After knowing that it was Prince Rong’s young heir, the shopkeeper hurriedly welcomed him.

Even though the other party was just a three-year-old child, the shopkeeper was still full of smiles and bowed respectfully.

“It’s really an honor to serve the Little Prince.

Come, come.

The kitchen is smoky, so let’s not go there.

Since you want to see the real thing, please go upstairs to the private room.

I’ll go bring the food over right away.

If anything catches your fancy, just let us know.” Little Bear blinked.

He didn’t understand everything that the shopkeeper had said, but he understood the last sentence.

Remembering that his father had taught him to pay attention to the royal family’s prestige, he kept a straight face and waved his little hand before pointing upstairs.

“Let’s go!” The servant hurriedly carried him up respectfully.

The shopkeeper followed with a smile on his face and personally pushed open the door to the private room on the second floor to invite him in.

Having spoken with the maidservant earlier on, he knew that the Princess Consort was in the silk shop not far away, and wanted to let the Little Prince have something delicious and easy to digest to eat.

The smart shopkeeper had long asked the kitchen to prepare some food suitable for children.

Not only did the dishes have to be exquisite, they also had to be delicious and healthy.

Not only could it please the Little Prince, but it could also win the Princess Consort’s favor.

The shopkeeper personally served the dishes in the private room and even explained the origins of these dishes to Little Bear in a low voice.

Little Bear drooled when he smelled the fragrance, and the servant quickly served him food.

When he ate a bowl of soft dessert, Little Bear widened his eyes and said, “It’s so yummy!

It’s even better than what Brother Little Treasure is served at home.

I want another bowl.

I’ll give it to Brother Little Treasure tonight.” Shocked, the maidservant hurriedly said in a low voice, “Your Highness, the Eldest Prince isn’t allowed to eat anything outside.” “Why?” Little Bear widened his eyes and said unhappily, “He ate it the last time we came out to play.” The shopkeeper’s eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he became even more respectful to Little Bear.

Seeing the maidservant’s anxious face, he said awkwardly, “I don’t dare to lie to Your Highness.

Actually, this dessert was developed by the chef some time ago.

Because the ingredients are rare, he only made a few bowls today.

Your Highness, this is the last bowl.” Little Bear felt that it was a pity.

Fortunately, he stopped asking to bring another bowl back for Little Treasure.

The shopkeeper took two steps back before leaving respectfully.

However, he did not know that his actions had been seen by the people in the opposite private room on the second floor.

Old Madam Shu watched as the shopkeeper left the private room.

Then, she shifted her gaze and asked, “Have you inquired?” “Yes, the assistant shopkeeper in the building must have received instructions.

No matter how much I asked, he refused to reveal anything.

However, a customer who stood beside the shopkeeper heard it clearly.

He said that the maidservant introduced herself as being from the Prince’s estate, and also said that Princess Consort Rong was in a silk shop not far away.” Old Madam Shu lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Shu Shuniang said anxiously, “Mother, why would we provoke that jinx Mu Yangling for no reason?

Prince Rong pampers her and she is so domineering.

Considering we fell out with her previously, we ought to avoid her.” “That was in the past.” Old Madam Shu put down her teacup and said, “If Wanniang hadn’t come, I naturally wouldn’t have provoked that cold thing.

But didn’t you hear that Wanniang had also come?

No matter what, Wanniang is my daughter.

Don’t you know her personality?” Shu Shuniang hesitated.

Considering her father-in-law was still a second-grade minister in the court, there was really no need for her to take the risk to offend Mu Yangling.

However, just as her mother had said, Wanniang was here.

Knowing Wanniang’s personality, she would definitely acknowledge them.
