Near noon, the three of them arrived at the entrance of Danfeng Xuyuan, and the waiter greeted them warmly. The hall was already overcrowded, and Danfeng Xuyuan's business was always full every month.
"Boy, there are no more seats in the lobby, not even the private rooms. Do you think you are willing to wait? Can you please check out that table or that private room?"
The waiter said apologetically and his attitude was quite good. Just as Fengning was about to speak, he saw a waiter from another waiter coming over and saying, "The customer in the innermost room on the third floor has just left."
The boy's face lit up and he said, "Please wait a moment, I'll get it ready for you right away." After saying that, he immediately trotted upstairs.
Shopkeeper Nian just came out of the lobby from the backyard. He saw the figure of a frightening and dangerous person standing in the lobby at a glance. He hurriedly greeted him. In front of all the guests, he couldn't say hello, so he had to talk to the ordinary guests.
He usually holds his hands in front of him and waits for instructions.
His eyes were asking if he wanted to go to the Accord in the backyard. Feng Ning said, "There is a servant cleaning up the side room on the third floor. Please take me there."
Shopkeeper Nian was ordered to lead the way. Zhulan beside him had been to Danfeng Xuyuan, so he was familiar with it, but he had never seen the child with extraordinary temperament that the young lady was holding. Could it be——?
There was a sudden thump in his chest, thinking that he was serving the two most noble people in Yu Shuo. Although he had to lower his eyebrows in front of high-ranking officials, the contentment and pride in his heart were enough to make him extremely proud. When he came to Danfeng Xuyuan to apply for a job
, I just wanted to find a job so that I could have enough food and clothing. Who would have thought that I would enjoy such a great honor now.
While talking, they were already outside the private room. The door and window lattice were opened, and the convection air had cleared away the original smell of the private room.
As soon as the waiter finished cleaning up, he saw the shopkeeper personally bringing people over. Although he was a little surprised, thinking that he was the shopkeeper, it was reasonable to lead the guests, "The shopkeeper has packed up, I don't know how many people there are.
If you want something to eat, little one, go and order it to be brought to you?"
Feng Ning sat down on the soft stool, and little Cang Yun stood quietly beside her mother. She didn't see her mother speak. The shopkeeper ordered, "Hurry up and make a pot of tea. I'll greet you here first."
Although the boy felt strange, he didn't know what was strange, so he had to step back and serve him tea.
"Is business so good these days?" Feng Ning asked casually as soon as the waiter left, glancing at the New Year shopkeeper with a faint look.
Shopkeeper Nian didn't dare to hide anything and told the truth, "To tell you the truth, Miss Danfeng Xuyuan's business has been very good. You left in a hurry last night and I didn't have time to report."
"Is there anyone else who is going to cause trouble?" The question was still plain and simple, but it revealed a hint of intimidation and sharpness. Little Cangyun stared at his mother blankly, because he had never heard her mother speak in such a tone.
"The day before yesterday, the owner of Fuhua Building in Dongcheng came to see Xiao Xiao. He said that the business of Danfeng Xuyuan was very good and wanted to learn from it, but Xiao Xiao refused. There was also a birthday banquet held by an official under the Minister of Household Affairs here.
, He said that the money for the banquet would be picked up from the house in three days, but when I sent Mr. Accountant to go, he was blocked from the door."
"How much is the banquet fee?"
"The people he hosted for the banquet were all high-ranking officials, and the banquet cost was as high as 3,750 taels." I didn't want to talk about it, but because he was an official, he had no choice but to report it to his master.
Feng Ning knew that unless she made things difficult for Shopkeeper Nian, these things would never reach her ears. Her tone was filled with a slight chuckle. The smile was extremely gentle, but at first glance it made people fearful and horrified, "You don't have to
Don't worry, he will automatically serve you the banquet tomorrow."
"yes--."
"Here comes the tea -" the boy who had gone to serve the tea shouted loudly, interrupting the conversation in the private room, and he also stepped across the threshold in confusion, not noticing at all that the shopkeeper was getting darker and darker.
Face.
"Go down and tell the kitchen to bring crystal silk, crispy fragrant cake, loose jade skin, Liuyun bean porridge, and white water tofu."
"Yes, from the shopkeeper." The boy took the order and walked out. When shopkeeper Nian was waiting for another word, another small figure appeared at the door. He was staring at shopkeeper Nian with his big eyes without fear.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but then he heard the little figure running in while calling, "Daddy——."
Shopkeeper Nian felt cold and sweaty. He pulled the child who was hugging his legs tightly and said to Fengning with some worry and embarrassment: "My pardon, Miss, this little beast doesn't understand the rules."
Feng Ning did not say anything, but looked at the child who looked to be five or six years old. He was a head taller than Cang Yun. At this time, shopkeeper Nian was yelling at him in a low voice, "This is not what you should be here for."
place, go home quickly.”
The child stuck out his tongue at him naughtily, avoided his father's outstretched hand, and stood in front of Zi Cangyun. He had never seen such a beautiful child, and Zi Cangyun was also stunned for a moment. He had never seen such a good-looking child before.
How dare a stranger come so close to him.
Before shopkeeper Nian could pull him over, he heard the kid ask, "Who are you? What's your name?"
Being too close, Zi Cangyun was not used to it at all. He took a step back unhappily, half-closed his eyes, and said with a hint of danger: "My name is Zi Cangyun."
When shopkeeper Nian heard this, the look of horror on his face was overwhelming every fiber of his being. He immediately knelt on the ground and pulled the kid who had caused trouble, "Kneel down quickly."
The child obviously didn't understand his father's words. He blinked his eyes that were not blind to the world and stared at his father in confusion. Then the woman next to the good-looking child spoke, "Well, you don't have to be like a child. Just get up quickly and let others know."
I saw it and became suspicious."
"Yes, miss."
Shopkeeper Nian had just stood up. Feng Ning thought in vain that His Majesty had told him two days ago that he wanted Wang Er to practice martial arts. Because he had Lin Yun by his side since he was a child, he was spared the need to choose an attendant among the nobles. However,
There are only two maidservants around the prince. Instead of choosing among the nobles and letting the courtiers shout and question each other, it is better to find a powerless son among the common people, which saves some precautions and troubles.
The child in front of her was born with beautiful features and aura between her brows, which was just what she wanted. However, she was in a deep palace. What did the Nian shopkeeper want? "Can he be literate?"
When the master asked, this made the shopkeeper Nian, who was always observant, a little at a loss. He responded honestly, "This child has an active nature and only knows a few words, which makes the lady laugh."
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Zhulan, who closed the concierge knowingly and stood guard behind the door.
He gently stroked the edge of his sleeves, leaned slightly to face Xiao Cang Yun, and said: "Yun'er, my father said that he wants to teach you martial arts, and you need to find a personal attendant." Before the sound fell, his pale eyes rose again.
Guang turned to the child aside and asked, "What do you think of him?"
Attendant? Xiao Cangyun looked at the child standing not far away. He was much taller than himself, and you had to raise your neck to see his eyes. While he was looking at him, the child was also looking at him. He
All he could think of was that this person was so bold and dared to stare at him so boldly. He wanted to teach this bold child a lesson.
A gentle click of the jaw changed Nian Ruoyi's life. When he became the emperor of Yushuo and the commander of the Royal Forest Guards, every time he recalled what happened today, he couldn't help but think about what happened back then.
So stupid, and when Ruoyi learned that the reason why he was favored was just because His Majesty wanted to teach him a lesson, Ruoyi collapsed so much that the color on his face lasted for half a decade.
Who is Zicang Yun? The future prince of Yushuo, the future majesty of Yushuo, allows his son who is a commoner to serve as his attendant. That is simply the blessing that the Nian family has cultivated for hundreds or thousands of lives.
He knelt down on the ground with a bang and kowtowed heavily, "The common people thank the Emperor and Empress for their kindness, and thank His Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness."
The ancient concept of hierarchy was so strict. She naturally understood that Shopkeeper Nian's gratitude and virtue at this time were definitely out of sincerity. She must know that letting his child go to the Imperial Palace to serve as the attendant of the Crown Prince is simply an honor greater than heaven.
"You'd better not be in a hurry to thank me. You must know that it is common for you to endure hardships as a servant of His Royal Highness. When the time comes, just don't blame me for being cruel."
"The common people don't dare, the common people don't dare." Shopkeeper Nian stood up and looked at his son who still looked confused and didn't know what was going on. He was really anxious and annoyed. Why did he have such a lack of vision? He pulled his body and said: "Quickly
Kowtow to your master, and from now on, he will be your master. Do you know that you have to serve him well?"
Nian Ruoyi was frightened by his father's strange appearance at this time. He seemed to be ecstatic, but also seemed to hate himself. He was stunned and at a loss. It was better to have the pretty woman beside the child.
She only said a few words to make her father stop torturing him with words and actions, "That's all, he is just a child now. I will send someone to take him into the palace tomorrow."
"Thank you for your grace."
As soon as shopkeeper Nian thanked her, Zhulan squinted her eyes and said, "Madam, here comes the person who delivers the dishes——"
…
Little Cangyun had a good appetite today, maybe he was hungry after running back and forth. It was already an hour after he came out of Danfeng Xuyuan. Thinking about the people in the palace, he thought it would be better to go back earlier.
"Mother, where are we going now?" Zi Cangyun asked sweetly. Not only Feng Ning, but also Zhu Lan felt that His Highness the Crown Prince talked too much today. In the palace, unless he was willing to speak, he would not even think about it.
One word must come out of his mouth.
Holding her son's hand, Feng Ning couldn't help but ask, "Does Yun'er like the world outside the palace very much?"
Zi Cangyun still didn't understand the meaning of her mother's words. She lowered her eyes and meditated for a while and then said: "I have never seen this person in the street, but I think it is rare, but it is not much more interesting than Taixue College."
Is this what a three-year-old child would say? Feng Ning couldn't help but wonder if her education method made him mature prematurely? Or is this the tradition of an imperial family, where he is born with a unique and unpredictable temperament? This is an ambiguous answer.
But it made things difficult for Feng Ning.
"Madam, please go buy sweet cakes."
Zhu Lan's words rang in her ears, pulling back Feng Ning's thoughts that she didn't know how to answer. There was a bit of anxiety in her words, probably because she was afraid of the majesty of the people in the imperial palace and wanted to go back as soon as possible. But now she and Yun
The speed at which my son was walking and playing would definitely take some time. "You go and buy it."
Zhulan followed the order and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd. Fengning smiled helplessly. It seemed that she was really anxious.
"Mom, what is sweet cake?"
"Sweet cake is a folk snack. It tastes sour and sweet. Yun'er will definitely like it."
"Is it like candied haws?"
"Yes, like candied haws."
The mother and son walked hand in hand among the crowded crowd, thinking that it would be great if that person was by their side. Thinking of this, they felt a little more anxious to return to the palace.
"Mother, what is that?"
Looking along the child's fingers, there were several children playing with tops near the alley. Without waiting for Feng Ning to say anything, Zi Cangyun loosened the hand holding his mother's hand and moved toward the group of children.
Run away.
The ambiguous answer just now felt so dull, but now the playfulness started to rise again. He was really a child. He smiled helplessly under the white gauze, carrying his skirt lightly. When he was about to go, there was a sudden sound not far away.
There was a harsh honking sound, and the jade eyebrows were condensed. With squinting eyes, he saw an unmanned car running around on the street, knocking over countless things in the stalls.
His eyes immediately fell on Wang Er. Although the group of children were also frightened by the screaming and chaotic scene, fortunately they were standing far away and there was no danger of being hit by the Xuan car. They breathed a sigh of relief and started from there.
Unaware of the fact that his heart was hanging so tight, he stepped aside and watched Xuan Che running in front of him. When he was about to pick up the children, the group of children playing with tops were still there, but Zi Cangyun was missing.
.
The secret passage was not good. Amidst the noise and chaos of the people, I looked around at Zi Cangyun's figure. There was no one, no, no one anywhere. His eyes stopped at the alley not far opposite. At this time, a man with the corner of a blue-gray robe was following him.
The wind was blowing, and as she frowned, she stretched out a hand, made a gesture to follow, and then disappeared. Feng Ning had no time to think about it, so she had to move and follow him——.
At the same time, in another deep alley, Zi Cangyun was forced into a corner with no way out. However, he thought of what his father said at the banquet last night, and stared at the daring kidnapper in front of him without any fear.
The man in the night who robbed him, under the dazzling sunlight, the bright knife flashed with a dazzling and strange murderous aura.
"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince Yu Shuo, even a three-year-old kid has such intimidating courage. When you grow up, won't you try to annex the world?"
Except for the voice of the man in black, there was no one around. Zi Cangyun was a child after all, and it would be a lie to say he was not afraid. However, his father had said that it was taboo for an emperor to show his facial expressions, so he could not show his fear.
, "What do you want to do? My Highness is not afraid of you."
The childish voice resounded with echoes, but in vain, it sounded like ice, "Don't worry, we won't take your life. Without you, what can we do to restrain your father? More importantly, of course it is yours."
Mother."
Is this the reason why Zhumei and Zhulan won't let her leave the palace? Zi Cangyun seemed to understand something, and her clenched palms were already covered in cold sweat. She saw them quickly reaching out to her, but they were about to touch her again.
At that moment, everyone suddenly screamed and collapsed in front of them, "Ah--ah--."
