The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Three days later, Emperor Chengde met the four brothers and sisters of the Bai family in the Qing'an Palace. He waved to Bai Yimeng and said, "Come here, you naughty monkey. Let me see how you are recovering."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing fine. Your Majesty, have you caught the person who poisoned me?"

Emperor Chengde patted her head, "Little monkey, how dare you? You dare to assign me tasks? I checked and found out.

Go back and ask your prince for the details. By the way, you haven't paid your respects to the queen yet. The queen should not miss you these days. Go, I want to talk to your brothers about serious matters."

Bai Yiyang and Bai Yisong were stunned. They had never imagined that their younger sister was so favored by the emperor.

"Yi Yang, Yi Song, you have suffered so much over the years. I was poisoned before, and you almost died tragically in a foreign land.

Fortunately, the spirit of Zhenbei Hou is in heaven, protecting you and your sister. I have now found out the injustice of that year. Tomorrow morning, I will announce it to the world and issue an edict of repentance.

I have lived an honest life, and I have been close friends with your father since childhood. I will do my best to compensate you in the future. As for your father's title, I wonder who you brothers plan to inherit?"

Emperor Chengde seemed a little nervous and looked down at his boots.

"Your Majesty, you were persecuted by villains in the past. My father's spirit in heaven will be grateful for your kindness. My three brothers are ashamed of our ancestors. We have not made any contributions and dare not take the title of marquis.

Your Majesty has cleared the grievances of our Bai family, which is a great grace to the four of us brothers and sisters. As for other things, the Bai family dare not ask for them." Bai Yiyang was appointed by his eldest brother to speak as a representative of the Bai family.

Chengde nodded slightly, "Well, then I will build a general's mansion for you and your sister. I have already chosen the address, which is on the north side of Dongsi Street, just one street away from Prince Yi's mansion. It will be convenient for the little girl to go back to her parents' home in the future."

The three brothers knelt down together to express their gratitude.

"Okay, monkey, come out. I knew you wouldn't be so obedient." Emperor Chengde waved his hand, "Come out!"

Bai Yimeng jumped out from behind the screen. Bai Yinan coughed, suggesting that Bai Yimeng should behave himself. Emperor Chengde shook his head, "General Bai, don't be so serious. It's better for children to be more lively."

"Your Majesty is right."

"I don't care whether you three brothers want to be rewarded or not. Little monkey, I have to give you a title, Jing'an. I originally wanted you to be peaceful and quiet, but I didn't expect everything to go wrong. You don't have a quiet temperament, and you don't see peace.

I will grant you another title today. Tell me, what do you think? "

"Your Majesty, you are not changing the title of your servant. You are clearly scolding your servant in disguise. You are so erratic and like a monkey."

"Oh, I heard it. It seems you are still a smart little monkey. Last time, you helped me expose the conspiracy of Xiling Kingdom. Because of the matter of King Qi, I not only did not reward you, but also beat you up. Just consider it as a reward for your meritorious service in protecting the emperor recently. Tell me what title you want."

"Your Majesty, please decide on the title. Whether it's Monkey or Jing'an, I'm afraid I can't change my character. But I do have something I want."

"Say, anything is fine." Emperor Chengde patted Bai Yimeng's head, "It's okay, don't look at your elder brother, I am the emperor, I have the final say."

"My servant, I want a shop."

Emperor Chengde nodded and said, "Okay, let's stick to the old rules. You choose the location and I pay the money."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Yimeng jumped up and down with joy. Bai Yinan almost fainted from anger at his sister.

On the way back to the palace, Bai Yimeng sat next to Bai Yisong as much as possible. Bai Yisong tried to hold back his laughter, "Little sister, are you afraid sometimes?"

"Why is the carriage so slow? When will it arrive?" Bai Yimeng wished the horse could grow wings and fly.

Knowing that his sister was nervous, Bai Yiyang changed the subject, "Brother, His Majesty has already ordered the reconstruction of the Bai family's ancestral temple. Why don't we start working on it? We can't just rely on the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Bai Yinan nodded slightly, "Well, that's good. You and the third brother should make a good plan, and we will start preparing today. My younger sister is not old anymore, and she can't always hang around in Prince Yi's mansion."

"It's really hard to imagine that the little girl is going to get married. When you have a child in the future, if it's a boy, we will teach him martial arts and let him..."

"Third brother, be quiet. My younger sister is still young, and she doesn't necessarily have to have children even if she gets married. Having a child is very troublesome, you have to take care of him and play with him. There is no need to be in a hurry for my younger sister to get married, and there is no rush to have a baby." Bai Yinan glared at Bai Yisong.

Bai Yinan never had the heart to say how terrible the poison in Bai Yimeng was. He knew how much his two younger brothers loved this little sister. It was rare for the family to be reunited, and too much sadness would be bad.

After a short moment of silence, Bai Yimeng could no longer sit still. He lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage, "I want to go to the teahouse to have some tea. Brothers, go first."

The three brothers of the Bai family were dumbfounded. Their sister was obviously angry. How brave they must be to abandon someone and go back by themselves.

The three brothers also got off the carriage and let Wang Xun drive back by himself. The three followed Bai Yimeng to Xilexuan.

Seeing Bai Yimeng sitting in the corner, the three of them sat down as well.

The waiter greeted the guests warmly, "What would you like, sirs?"

The three looked at Bai Yimeng curiously. Seeing that the waiter ignored Bai Yimeng, Bai Yisong emphasized, "There are four of us. Two pots of Biluochun will be enough."

The waiter brought three pots, two pots of Biluochun were placed in front of the three brothers of the Bai family, and a pot of tea of ​​unknown origin was placed next to Bai Yimeng.

The three men noticed that even the teapot given to Bai Yimeng was exceptionally elegant.

Looking around, they saw that the teapots of the other guests were exactly the same as theirs, except for their sister's.

"Our sister is loved by everyone. Look at her teapot, it's so unique. The tea here is different from ours."

Bai Yisong poured a cup of tea from the Bai Yimeng pot. "Mm, the best Lu'an Guapian. The taste is amazing. I'm afraid you can't get it in ordinary places."

Seeing Bai Yisong's look, Bai Yiyang also poured a glass, "Little sister, do you still want to drink this? Second brother will exchange with you."

Bai Yiyang never snatches Bai Yimeng's things, this time he was just teasing Bai Yimeng on purpose.

"Second brother, drink it if you like. I'll get another pot." Bai Yimeng waved his hand, and soon a pot of identical tea was brought up.

"Little sister, if you are unhappy about something, just tell me. Don't hold it in. Otherwise, let's go fly a kite." Bai Yisong was a little confused about his sister's thoughts and looked at his older brother Bai Yinan.

"This Biluochun is good, but do we have to drink something so expensive? It's such a waste." Bai Yinan didn't understand and drank his tea in silence.

Two hours later, the three pots of tea had already been finished. The three brothers looked at Bai Yimeng and saw that he had no intention of leaving. They had no choice but to continue sitting there.

"Little sister, why don't we go to another restaurant? It's so embarrassing to always sit in the same place." Bai Yisong looked at Bai Yiyang.

"Yes, you see there are fewer people in the store. If we still stay here, aren't we afraid that the store owner will be angry?" Bai Yiyang tugged at Bai Yimeng's sleeve.

"I told you not to follow me. If you insist on following me, I can't do anything about it." Bai Yimeng smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.

Bai Yinan was a little impatient, "Hurry up, finish your tea, and we'll leave." Then, he called the waiter, "Check out!"

Bai Yinan took out a silver ingot and handed it to the waiter. The waiter was stunned and stared at Bai Yimeng, "Boss, do you want this?"

"Take it, it's a reward from me. It would be bad if you don't take it." Bai Yimeng laughed so hard that he fell backwards. Why was he so happy to earn money from his elder brother?

"Little sister, are you the owner of this store?" Bai Yisong chuckled, patted Bai Yinan who had a sullen face, quickly realized something, and immediately withdrew his hand.

"Today is the end of the month, I'm here to check the accounts and collect the cash. By the way, I'm here to see how the customer flow is these days. I was bored to begin with, but you guys insisted on coming along, thank you for spending the day with me."

Bai Yisong stamped his feet in anger, "No wonder you don't talk much, are you observing the flow of customers?"

"Yes, let's check if the tea is related to the season, and see what types of tea and where the tea comes from these days, so that we can arrange purchases for the next quarter." Bai Yimeng finished the last cup of tea in the pot, took the account book handed over by the waiter and started to look through it.

"I always thought that the tea shop you were talking about was the small workshop at the West Street Corner." After walking out of the teahouse, Bai Yinan couldn't help but look back. He knew that his sister had a tea shop, but he never dared to think of it as such a big teahouse.

"This is the shop awarded by His Majesty. The one at the entrance of West Street was opened for Maomao and his friends, so that they would have a place to stay." Bai Yimeng yawned, "Let's go, let's go back."
