After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

From her familiar tone, you can tell that this is not her first time entertaining guests. If you don’t know her, you might think she has been the shopkeeper here for decades and her temperament has become very experienced.

Seeing that the man didn't say anything and didn't leave, Xiao Yunzheng stopped and looked up.

"Lingling!" Xiao Yunzheng stood up excitedly with a smile on her face. She took Nian Susu's hand and pulled him behind the counter. "You came at the right time. Please help me figure out how to calculate this." She flipped through the account book a few pages and said in distress, "I've been thinking about it all morning, but I can't figure it out. I'm just going to put it aside for now."

When Nian Susu looked at the numbers in the account book, he immediately felt overwhelmed.

She pulled her arm out with an embarrassed look on her face. "Yun Zheng, I know nothing about accounting. Don't count on me..."

She can't even do the math on modern accounts, let alone ancient accounts. She can't even understand the abacus.

Xiao Yunzheng instantly became dispirited and dejected.

Nian Susu flipped through the account books in front of her. These were the diary books of Taihe Teahouse.

"Yun Zheng, why are you calculating these things?"

Xiao Yunzheng was obviously not proficient in these things. If Taihe Teahouse wanted to hire an accountant, it should not hire an amateur.

Xiao Yunzheng sighed, put the things away without explaining, and invited Nian Susu upstairs to drink tea. They sat opposite each other at the coffee table by the window.

"Cui Yuqing didn't leave anything behind when he was alive. The only asset under his name is this teahouse. Before he died, he made a will and transferred the teahouse to my name, so now I am the boss of Taihe." Xiao Yunzheng smiled, but she didn't look happy at all, instead she felt more helpless.

Every night of the year is clear.

She held her chin and looked downstairs, her eyes drifting away. "I was just sitting there doing nothing anyway, and I didn't want the only thing he left to be ruined in my hands, so I followed the former accountant and learned how to do the accounting for more than half a month."

"Today is my first day of learning. I didn't expect that what I learned was completely different from what I actually experienced. It's too difficult!"

Xiao Yunzheng shrugged helplessly, "It seems that I am suitable for this job. Professional matters should be left to professionals."

Nian Susu couldn't help laughing, "The account book is not that easy to read. It's impossible for you to master it after only learning it for half a month."

Xiao Yunzheng obviously didn't want to continue this topic and changed the subject after just a few words.

Nian Susu was confused in her heart, wondering what kind of feelings she had for Cui Yuqing, but she didn't dare to ask. After all, the person was already dead, and saying more would be useless and would only hurt the living.

She was weighing what to say and what not to say, but she didn't expect Xiao Yunzheng to ask about her and Qin Junyu first.

"You and Brother Yu are truly in love with each other. Is Uncle Nian trying to break you up?" Xiao Yunzheng looked at her gossipingly, her eyes shining.

It turns out that people are most energetic when they are asking for gossip.

Nian Susu glanced at her helplessly, feeling inexplicably guilty.

She picked up the teacup to hide her panic, "No, I had no choice but to say this."

Xiao Yunzheng refused to give in and asked her when the wedding would take place and when she planned to set the wedding date...

Xiao Yunzheng didn't know that the Queen forced her to marry Qin Fengtian. From her perspective, Qin Junyu proposed to marry the eldest daughter of the Nian family at the Queen's birthday banquet in front of all the civil and military officials. What an enviable love!

Where Nian Susu couldn't see, Xiao Yunzheng had already made up a long story about her and Qin Junyu's tragic love story, and even thought of a name for her child.

Nian Susu listened to her excitedly telling her fantasy love story and couldn't bear to interrupt her.

Xiao Yunzheng clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling, and she was about to cry, "Finally! Brother Yu ascended the throne of the emperor! He rules the world! The harem that should have had three thousand beauties only has... um... um..."

The more Nian Susu listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and he quickly covered her mouth, "Hey hey hey! You can't say that!"

Walls have ears. If someone hears it, not only will Qin Junyu be in trouble, but the prime minister's mansion will also be implicated.

She is now the future Crown Princess, and to a large extent what she says and does represents the opinions of the Eastern Palace. Even if it is her own idea, outsiders will inevitably associate it with Qin Junyu, so she must be careful with her words and actions from now on.

She let go of Xiao Yunzheng and whispered, "You can just keep this to yourself and enjoy it for a while, but don't tell anyone."

Xiao Yunzheng realized later that she had almost gotten into trouble, and lowered her head in guilt, "Alas... Even the fearless Miss Nian has become mature and steady, looking ahead and behind. Only I am still heartless. No wonder my elder brother always says that I can't grow up..."

Nian Susu was about to comfort her when he saw her smile brightly and wink at her. The topic suddenly became serious, "Lingling, if you really like Brother Yu, you must boldly pursue your true love. Don't back down because of shame or other factors."

"Don't be like me. I regretted it too late after we were separated forever." She lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them.

Nian Su Su patted her on the back, "Okay, I get it."

She knew that Xiao Yunzheng liked Cui Yuqing.

It's a pity that lovers cannot be together, and two people who are not destined to be together have to be tied together and spend their lives disgusted with each other.

Nian Susu unexpectedly met Qin Guanqing when he went downstairs.

Qin Guanqing was sitting near the stairs drinking tea, so it was inevitable that the two of them met each other.

One was standing on the stairs, the other was sitting downstairs, and the moment their eyes met, they both felt a little awkward.

Nian Susu didn't know whether to leave or not. She thought about how Qin Guanqing helped her sneak into the Eastern Palace last time and she still owed him a favor. It would be inappropriate not to say hello when they met now. So she had to walk downstairs in two or three steps and walked to his desk.

"The Second Prince is in a good mood. I can actually meet you in the teahouse." Nian Susu said with a smile.

Qin Guanqing always had a cheerful look on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. He poured two cups of tea and pushed one in front of her. "It's fate that we met. Miss Nian, would you like to have a cup of tea with me?"

"Oh, no." Qin Guanqing's eyes curved and he smiled like a crescent moon. He quickly changed his words: "Now I should call Miss Nian 'Emperor's Sister-in-law'."

Nian Susu's face turned red immediately.

The title "Emperor's sister-in-law" sounds quite embarrassing.

She originally wanted to sit down, but Qin Guanqing's deliberately teasing attitude made her want to escape.

Sensing her embarrassing situation, Qin Guanqing put away his joking thoughts, straightened his expression, and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I offended Miss Nian. It's my fault."

Nian Susu let out an almost inaudible sigh of relief and sat down sideways.

Qin Guanqing smiled again, "Anyway, my father's imperial decree has been announced to the world, and everyone in Liuli Country knows that Miss Nian is the future Crown Princess. There is nothing wrong with me calling her 'Imperial Sister-in-law' in advance. Miss Nian doesn't need to be embarrassed."
