Bai Xilie agreed and sent twelve Palace Attendants to accompany them.
Additionally, six Hidden Guards accompanied them.
Bai Daoyan held Zhi’er’s little hand and got on the carriage to leave the palace.
"Actually, I came suddenly today. I decided last minute that I wanted to take my sister out to play. Zhi’er, don’t feel that Fourth Brother is being abrupt."
Zhi’er shook her head: "Fourth Brother came to be with me, I’m too happy to feel anything else!"
Bai Daoyan looked at the little one’s soft, round, rosy cheeks and couldn’t help but smile softly.
He sighed: "Actually, I heard that Eldest Brother would come to the palace today to see you."
"Eldest Brother is not a bad person, but he’s impulsive. I was afraid Zhi’er might get scared, so I decided to take you out of the palace first."
Zhi’er’s long eyelashes fluttered.
So the fierce Eldest Brother was coming to play with her!
The little one covered her mouth and giggled, her fair cheeks and curved eyes resembling a triumphant little rabbit.
"Fourth Brother did the right thing. Let Eldest Brother play on his own!"
When the Eldest Heir, Bai Xuanmo, dressed in red, arrived at the palace.
He was informed by a Palace Attendant: "The Princess was just taken out to play by the Fourth Young Master."
Bai Xuanmo was taken aback.
His beautiful phoenix eyes immediately filled with a cold mist.
"This servant does not know."
Hearing this, his lips pressed even tighter.
This Fourth Brother, usually focused on business, why did he have time today to play with his sister?
Once again, he’d missed the Little Ball!
Zhi’er sat in the carriage, passing through the streets.
She smelled an incredibly fragrant aroma.
She lifted the curtain with her small hand, and looked outside with her big, watery eyes.
There were many stalls selling roasted potatoes along the street.
Quite a lot of people were buying them!
Huh? There weren’t this many before!
Bai Daoyan glanced outside the window and laughed, explaining to Zhi’er: "This is the trend you started, sister."
"Last time the Princess left the palace and sold roasted potatoes along the street, making a big profit, and now everyone knows about it."
"Many vendors are imitating, and the most successful is the stall where you asked an old man selling sweet potatoes for help. That old man has now made enough to open a shop."
In fact, the wealth Zhi’er brought was more than just that.
The teahouse she visited was now bursting with guests every day.
The spot she set up her stall was considered a prime location by the townsfolk.
Every day, vendors competed to occupy it.
Zhi’er blinked her long eyelashes, her soft voice sweet: "Is that true?"
"But I’m very happy to have helped that old grandpa!"
"These roasted potatoes smell so good. Brother, buy me one later!"
Bai Daoyan chuckled softly, stroking his sister’s little head: "Fourth Brother will buy you a whole cart."
In the end, Bai Daoyan didn’t buy a cart of roasted potatoes for her to eat, at Zhi’er’s insistence.
But whenever they passed by a shop that Zhi’er liked, Bai Daoyan would immediately have someone buy a bag.
Soon, the carriage came to a stop.
Fourth Young Master Bai Daoyan carried Zhi’er down.
The little one still held a candied haw on her left hand.
Her white, tender face was smeared with hawthorn syrup from eating!
Inside the antique shop, a housekeeper-looking person came out with two servants to greet them.
"Grandpa Bai is here." He grinned obsequiously.
Bai Daoyan nodded lightly: "Mm."
He pointed to his sister in his arms: "This is my sister, Zhi’er."
The housekeeper was immediately startled, quickly bowing: "Greetings to the Princess!"
Princess Cui Cuo, Little Fortune Star of the Human World.
Who doesn’t know of her?
Zhi’er blinked her dark eyes, mimicking her brother’s tone as she waved her hand: "Rise, you can call me Master Zhi from now on!"
