After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

It was as if she had had a long and comfortable dream. When Ning regained consciousness that night, there was someone else beside her.

"Princess, you're awake."

Wan Ning looked towards the voice in surprise, only to see Wan Tao immediately put down the tray in her hand and quickly stepped forward to help her up. Wan Ning felt refreshed now, and if she hadn't seen the bandage on her hand, she would have thought the injury was just a dream.

"Wan Tao? Why are you here?" After confirming who it was, Wan Ning looked around happily and confirmed that she was in the courtyard outside Ziheng Palace. She asked, "When did you leave the palace?"

Wan Tao's eyes were red. She suppressed her emotions and helped Wan Ning sit down. She answered with a tearful voice, "Just now, Lord Fang Xiong sent someone to pick me up from Xiang Wan Xuan. Princess, don't worry. He just said that you had some things to deal with outside the palace and needed help. He didn't tell others to avoid worrying."

Wan Ning stretched her arms and pretended to be relaxed, saying, "Well, they are just nervous for no reason. I feel like I'm fine now. But Wan Tao, you came at the right time. There are some things I can't do alone, and I need your help."

"Princess, please tell me what you need me to do."

Wan Ning thought about it and sighed: "It's not a big deal, because I haven't worked on the talent show for a long time, so you can accompany me to see how the business is going."

Wan Tao thought that something important had happened to the princess, so she was relieved and agreed to the request, but she was also worried about the princess's health. After all, before Ziheng left, he was worried that others would not be used to taking care of her, so he sent someone to pick her up. If something went wrong, it would be hard to explain.

While Wan Tao was thinking, she saw Wan Ning looking around as if she was looking for something, so she asked quickly, "Princess, what are you looking for?"

"Look for my thorns. No, look for my paintings." Wan Ning joked.

"Painting?" Wan Tao also helped to look for it. When she turned around, she saw a thick pile of things on the cabinet beside the bed, and tea, medicine, and water were placed next to it. She took it and handed it to Wan Ning, asking, "Princess, look, is this it?"

Wan Ning flipped through them casually and said excitedly, "That's them! Hey, Ziheng actually gave scores to each one. I guess he did it while I was asleep, and now they come in handy."

Wan Tao pointed at the things on the cabinet beside her and asked, but also reminded Wan Ning, "Then these things were prepared by the emperor in advance? He must have known that the princess would look for the painting when she woke up, and he would be able to see these foods and remind you to take the medicine."

"Eh," Wan Ning frowned immediately, took the medicine from Wan Tao with a look of disgust, pinched her nose and drank it all in one gulp: "Is this okay now?"

"Sure, sure." Wantao took the empty bowl and immediately stuffed an orange slice into the princess' mouth.

"So...so...so sour." Wan Ning shuddered with her eyes closed, and at the same time, she threw off the quilt and got out of bed: "I heard that the oranges grown by Lord Lu are sweeter, I must try them if I have a chance. Wan Tao, go get a piece of big red paper and some paint."

Although she didn't know what the princess wanted to do, Wan Tao did it anyway and quickly brought what Wan Ning wanted. She spread red paper on the table and asked Wan Tao to draw decorations and a beautiful background on it according to her requirements. Then she copied the scores of each young lady and young master on it according to their scores, making a beautiful notice.

"Princess, I've finished writing." Wan Tao held the pen and looked at Wan Ning in confusion.

Wan Ning put away all the paintings, picked up Wan Tao's masterpiece to admire, and praised it generously: "Your brushstrokes are so vivid and smooth. Wan Tao, you draw very well. If you participate in a talent show, you will definitely win first place. Who else can win!"

"The princess is so impressed."

Wan Tao felt a little embarrassed, and Wan Ning stopped teasing her. She put them all away, took Wan Tao's arm and said, "Come on, accompany me to see how the business is going."

The two walked out of the door, and the carriage was ready and parked in the yard, but there was no one preparing it. Wan Ning was curious and surprised, with her hands on her waist, looking around, and said, "Strange, as soon as I mentioned that I was going out, Lisong had already prepared the carriage, but there was no one there, like a voice assistant. Lord Lisong, help me prepare the carriage. I'm here, okay. Hahaha."

Wan Ning imitated the voice assistant's robotic tone. She knew that Lisong was always elusive, so she shouted to the sky, "Thank you!"

The first stop for the two of them was Pan Wenxi's Pan's Cloth Shop. The shop was quite quiet after the New Year. They watched from the door for a while and saw that few people came in. The people inside were just dozing off. When they saw someone coming in, the shopkeeper didn't even raise his head and greeted them coldly, "Sir, please come in."

"Cough cough," Wan Ning deliberately coughed twice, but failed to attract his attention. Seeing this, she walked to the counter and gently knocked on the wooden table.

"Go, go, go," the shopkeeper looked up boredly. Seeing that the visitor was the boss's friend, he immediately changed his face to a friendly one and apologized, "Oh, I didn't see you coming. I'm so sorry. Please sit down. I'll go make some tea."

"Wait, no need for tea. I'm not here to drink tea today. Has the business in the store been a bit slow recently?" Wan Ning asked.

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but when the shopkeeper was mentioned, he sighed repeatedly: "Alas, alas, alas! It's so cold and miserable there."

"Oh, not really. With the New Year, the beauty queens entering the palace and the joint venture, we should be making money. Although the heat has passed now, it's just returning to normal." Wan Ning casually fiddled with the beads on the abacus. She had looked at the revenue sharing from the past few days and knew that the joint venture was profitable.

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry to answer. He took Wan Ning to a room and opened the curtain to find a room full of co-branded dresses. Wan Ning picked up one in confusion and found something wrong as soon as she touched it. She turned around and asked, "This is a fake! Why are there so many fakes here?"

"You may not know that Pan's Cloth Shop is committed to integrity and service. We absolutely do not sell fakes or defective products. These are all imitations from the market. Others have come up with the same styles because they see our business is booming. However, these fakes are rough, of poor quality, and very cheap. They can be seen everywhere in the streets, so no one buys the real ones."

"Bad money drives out good money! Despicable!" Wan Ning said, but then she had another question: "But how come these fakes are in Pan's Cloth Shop?"

"Ah, ah, ah!", the shopkeeper sighed again, and then said: "You don't know, our Pan's Cloth Shop is famous for its good service. In order to eliminate counterfeit goods, the boss has come up with an idea. All customers who have purchased Pan's Cloth Shop products can exchange the counterfeit goods for a real one."

"Ah!" Wan Ning and Wan Tao cried out in surprise at the same time.

"There are countless people in Nanye City who have bought things from Pan's Cloth Shop. Everyone came here at once, and it was too late to turn back, so we could only swallow our anger. Now most of our big buyers are in the palace to participate in the beauty pageant, so business is even worse," complained the shopkeeper.

Wan Ning looked him up and down and jokingly said, "Boss Pan, is this the reason why you are too embarrassed to come to the store?"

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Pan Wenxi happened to pass by the door and heard someone talking about someone who had not seen the person coming, so he asked, "Who dares to say that about me?"

When he looked up, he ran into Wan Ning and Wan Tao. They crossed their arms and looked at him with interest. When he saw who was coming, he was embarrassed. His face turned red and white. He immediately lowered his head and backed away. He covered his face with one hand and whispered, "Sorry, we went the wrong way. Sorry to bother you!"

Seeing his funny look, Wan Ning laughed secretly and joked, "Why, Boss Pan doesn't want to take over the cloth shop anymore? If you don't want it, I'll take it away. Business will be better tomorrow, Boss Pan, don't regret it in your heart and bite your back teeth again."

After waiting for a few seconds, Pan Wen appeared at the door with a happy look on his face, with his head lowered and his puffed up face like an angry pufferfish.
