Shen Qinglan lifted the car curtain and saw a little kid running towards her with a grunt.

Aunt Gui, who was following behind the little girl, was panting and shouting:

"Miss Third, don't, don't, slow down, slow down..."

The little fellow turned a deaf ear to the call and climbed onto the carriage using his hands and feet. He then stuck his head out and shouted at Aunt Gui who was chasing after him:

"Madam Gui, you can go ahead and gain weight! I will take good care of mother! Don't worry!"

"..."

Aunt Gui looked at Huo Jingyi with tears in her eyes. This little girl couldn't even take care of herself, and she was still taking care of others? How could she feel at ease?

"Miss, please come down quickly. Don't delay the princess from doing her business."

Shen Qinglan watched this scene with a smile. Before he could say anything, a pair of small hands wrapped around his neck tightly. Then he heard Huo Jingyi's baby voice saying:

"Madame Gui, you told me that mother has something important to do! You are still blocking the carriage, please get out of the way and don't delay mother and Yi'er's work!"

Aunt Gui was so angry at Huo Jingyi's words that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For a moment, she really didn't know how to refute.

Instead, Shen Qinglan smiled and held the little guy in her arms, and said to Aunt Gui:

"Madam Gui, please go back. Sister Yi is ill and cannot be kept in the mansion forever. It would be good for her to get some fresh air."

"But……"

Aunt Gui hesitated for a moment, looked at Shen Qinglan and the little guy who was nestling in Shen Qinglan's arms and didn't want to get down, sighed helplessly, and said:

"Then I'll trouble you, Princess. If Miss Three is really naughty, just have someone send her back."

When Huo Jingyi heard this, she immediately became unhappy, puffed up her face and argued:

"I'm not naughty! I didn't make a fuss when my mother gave me an acupuncture! Aunt Gui, you are naughty and disobedient. The doctor told you not to eat too much fatty meat, but you secretly ate it at night..."

"Oh my little ancestor, please stop talking, go quickly, and come back soon."

When Aunt Gui heard that the little guy was about to expose her secrets, she was so scared that she quickly interrupted the little guy.

If she really let the little guy say everything, would she still be able to save her dignity?

I'm afraid the whole Zhan Palace will spread the news of this greedy old man...

Immediately after saying this, Nanny Gui waved to the two of them, considerately lowered the curtain of the car, turned around and ran away.

Shen Qinglan looked at Nanny Gui's panicked back, then looked at the little girl in her arms who was looking up with her head tilted back and smiling at her ingratiatingly. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face, saying angrily:

"Sister Yi, please don't bully Aunt Gui. Aunt Gui is old and can't stand your teasing like this."

"Mother, Yi'er doesn't have that! Yi'er is the most well-behaved girl in the world!"

Huo Jingyi denied it immediately, and then seemed to have thought of something, and quickly took out something wrapped in oil paper from her arms, and carefully spread it out and said:

"Here, mother, eat! Peach Blossom Pastry, it's delicious! Yi'er specially saved the last one for you!"

Shen Qinglan looked at the pink peach blossom cake lying on Huo Jingyi's fleshy palm, her eyes slightly curved:

"Is this the Peach Blossom Cake from Shixiang Pavilion?"

"Yeah! Mother bought this for Yi'er last time. You haven't tasted it yourself, right? Come and try it!"

Shen Qinglan took it and took a bite. Huo Jingyi saw it and asked eagerly, "Is it delicious? Is it delicious?"

Shen Qinglan reached out and rubbed the little guy's head, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Yeah, it's delicious, thank you Sister Yi."

Huo Jingyi nestled back into Shen Qinglan's arms contentedly, mumbling to herself while secretly glancing at Shen Qinglan and saying:

"As long as it tastes good, the peach blossom cakes at Shixiang Pavilion are the best. Yier likes it the most. It's a pity that they are in limited supply and Yier can't buy them. Otherwise, Yier would definitely buy them for her mother every day."

Shen Qinglan was amused by the little guy's baby voice. She couldn't help but pinch the little guy's nose and said with a smile:

"You may not be very old, but you have a big heart. If you want to eat something, just tell me. How can I not buy it for you?" After a pause, Shen Qinglan looked at Shu Yu and said:

"Let someone go to the Food Fragrance Pavilion to buy some later. Then, have the Food Fragrance Pavilion deliver some to your residence every five days. However, the peach blossom pastry is a bit sweet, so you can't eat too much."

When Huo Jingyi heard this, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she said in a low voice:

"Mother, Yi'er didn't mean that..."

"Really? Then you won't send it?"

Shen Qinglan teased Huo Jingyi deliberately and was about to give orders to Shuyu.

Seeing this, Huo Jingyi quickly hugged Shen Qinglan's neck, then kissed Shen Qinglan on the face and said in a childish voice:

"Mom! Mom! It has to be delivered! It has been delivered. Yi'er and mom can eat together."

Shen Qinglan looked at the soft and tender little baby in his arms, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.

Shuwen and Shuyu, who were standing by, couldn't help but smile as they watched this heartwarming scene.

Soon, the group arrived at the "Fengyun Grain Store."

Because they had informed everyone in advance, when Shen Qinglan and the others arrived, there was already a group of people waiting at the door.

When they saw the carriage with the logo of the War Prince's Palace, the people from the grain store hurried forward and said respectfully in unison:

"Welcome to Princess Zhan."

"Welcome to Princess Zhan."

Shen Qinglan took Huo Jingyi and slowly got off the carriage. Manager Qi of the grain store was also secretly looking at Shen Qinglan and Huo Jingyi.

Shen Qinglan was very beautiful. Although she was not very old, she was so majestic that people could tremble with fear when they saw her.

However, the little girl holding hands with Shen Qinglan was dressed gorgeously and had a delicate face. As soon as she got off the carriage, her big eyes looked around curiously.

While Shopkeeper Qi was guessing the identity of the little girl, Shen Qinglan had already pulled the baby and walked straight past him.

Shopkeeper Qi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned around and followed with everyone.

After Shen Qinglan entered the grain store, she looked at the goods on the shelves and was dazzled by the variety of goods.

Shen Qinglan walked forward and grabbed a handful of fine rice. It looked crystal white and was obviously of excellent quality.

Shopkeeper Qi followed behind Shen Qinglan, wiping the cold sweat from his sweaty face.

This princess hasn't said a word since she arrived at the grain store, which is really scary.

Seeing Shen Qinglan checking the rice, Shopkeeper Qi quickly said:

"Princess, the rice in our grain store is all refined rice, and the soybeans and wheat are also of the highest quality! We will never do business that goes against our conscience and harms the people!"

Shen Qinglan chuckled, turned around and looked at Shopkeeper Qi with burning eyes, and said coldly:

"is it?"

"Of course, it's natural!"

Shopkeeper Qi's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure.

When they learned yesterday that Shopkeeper Liang had gotten into trouble, all the shopkeepers cleared out all the unpresentable items in their shops overnight.

Shopkeeper Qi verified it countless times himself to make sure everything was foolproof before he dared to welcome the Princess Zhan.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Qi was obviously trying to fool her, Shen Qinglan raised a sinister arc at the corner of her mouth, stared at Shopkeeper Qi fiercely, threw the handful of fine rice in her hand on Shopkeeper Qi's face, and said sternly:

"That's nonsense!"

"One ounce of refined rice costs four ounces of silver. If a family of five has to eat at least twelve ounces of refined rice a year! How much silver is twelve ounces of refined rice? Twenty-eight ounces! How much can ordinary people earn in a year? How much can they afford refined rice?"

Shen Qinglan's words made Shopkeeper Qi's face change drastically, and he looked at Shen Qinglan in surprise.

Isn’t it said that this princess is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s family?

Which of these noble ladies from aristocratic families is not kept in the backyard?

How could she know the price of grain and the amount people could eat in a year?
