The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Please come in. If you have any questions, please call me immediately." The steward said respectfully. He knew Situ Yaorao's true identity and was worried that something might happen to her.

Situ Yaorao waved her hand and walked into the room.

In this room was a young woman with a graceful figure and a pretty face, but the shrewdness in her eyes and the mercenary look on her face were revealed.

The woman was also taken aback when she saw that it was Situ Yaorao. She asked unkindly, "Who are you?"

Situ Yaorao laughed when she heard this: "You want to buy wine from me, but you ask who I am?"

"Is this store yours?" the woman frowned and asked in disbelief.

"Since I'm here, I have the final say. Who owns this shop, and what does it have to do with you?" Situ Yaorao asked calmly. The woman's face turned sour upon hearing this, but then she remembered her purpose and said, "Please take a seat. I was rude just now. I heard that the owner of this place is Master Yusheng, and we met once before and had a very pleasant conversation. Therefore, I lost my composure after seeing you. Please don't mind it, Master."

The woman's words made Situ Yaorao's mouth twitch: "Ah! Of course I don't care, but I don't know what the girl is doing."

"It's nothing big. I just want to take some fruit wine from this restaurant. I wonder if I can get what I want?" The woman looked at Situ Yaorao and asked.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao asked, "So, how did Yu Sheng answer you before?"

"Young Master Yu Sheng said that the rules of the restaurant should not be broken. However, since someone else is here today, there should be some chance." After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Situ Yaorao.

Situ Yaorao's face darkened when she heard this. She simply said, "What Yu Sheng said is what I wanted to say. Please leave, young lady."

"you……"

"Oh, no, it's my fault." Situ Yaorao seemed to have thought of something and said embarrassedly.

When the woman heard this, a hint of pride appeared on her face. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Situ Yaorao say, "This room was booked by the young lady, so it's me who should leave." After saying that, she turned around and left.

He left in a very decisive and efficient manner.

Inside the room, the woman's face was grim, and she gnashed her teeth, as if she wanted to kill Situ Yaorao. After a while, she left in anger.

After dealing with this woman, Situ Yaorao returned to the room and found some plans that Yu Sheng had written.

Yu Sheng was a man of great talent. If all these plans could be implemented, this restaurant would probably truly be known throughout Lanlin. However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Everything had just begun.

Just when Situ Yaorao was watching with great interest, she heard the steward's voice again: "Master Si, there are guests coming to visit."

"Ah? Who is it?" Situ Yaorao was a little impatient. The time between them was too short.

"Prince Yun Yi." As soon as the steward said this, Situ Yaorao's expression changed instantly. Tan Tai Yun Yi?

"Please invite the prince in."

Situ Yaorao put the plan aside, poured another cup of tea for the man, and waited for Tan Tai Yun Yi to come in. After a while, Tan Tai Yun Yi slowly walked in.

Today, he was dressed in an elegant blue shirt, his long hair tied up with a bamboo hairpin, and with a faint smile on his face, he looked like he was planning something. This look reminded Situ Yaorao of the first time she met him.

Tan Tai Yun Yi was also like this at that time, planning everything in his mind. Even the slightest smile on someone's face was clearly calculated by him.

"Prince Yun Yi."

"Just call me by my name. You and the prince are already married. You and I are family too." Tan Tai Yun Yi's tone was light, but it made people unable to refuse.

Situ Yaorao was a little embarrassed, but still called out tentatively, "Yun Yi."

Hearing her call like this, a smile appeared on Tantai Yunyi's face. Then he said, "I came here today to ask for something."

"Yun Yi, it's okay to speak frankly." Situ Yaorao said.

"My memory has recovered some, but it is still not enough. So, I would like to invite you to go somewhere with me." Tan Tai Yunyi looked at Situ Yaorao and said softly.

Hearing that Tan Tai Yun Yi had recovered some of his memories, Situ Yaorao's heart skipped a beat, but she also felt a little bit of anticipation. Tan Tai Yun Yi returned to his witty self.

So he said, "Okay."

"Thank you. If your memory is restored in the future, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"You are on the side of Tan Tai Wu Yue, and he is my husband. I will naturally help you, so there is no need to talk about whether to reward him handsomely or not." Situ Yaorao said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi's expression darkened, but he didn't say anything more.

Situ Yaorao followed the man out of the house, and the place they went to was a peach blossom forest outside the city.

"Why?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that we should come here. Maybe it's my illusion." Tan Tai Yunyi smiled faintly, but when he looked at Situ Yaorao, there was a hint of heat in his eyes.

For her, he could endure anything.

But he didn't want to make her sad.

I had wanted to go to the lake that day, but...if the incident with the carp was brought up again, it would surely cause a huge uproar, right? Tantai Yunyi didn't know if the carp's meaning was really as people said.

Destined to be the Emperor and Empress. If that were true, why did she, who had seen the carp with him, become the Crown Prince's woman? And why was he assisting the Crown Prince?

"Dan Tai Yun Yi, you didn't come to this peach blossom forest just to ask me to accompany you to see the scenery, did you?" Situ Yaorao looked at the peach blossom forest, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi said, "You have this in mind, right? As the seasons change, the peach blossoms will eventually fade, so I wanted to watch them blossom with you in this final moment."

After he finished speaking, Tan Tai Yun Yi drew out his sword and danced with it in the peach blossom forest.

The man's swordsmanship was very good. Although he was just dancing with the sword, it was still very lethal. In just a short moment, the peach blossoms on the tree fell on her face.

Situ Yaorao looked at the peach blossom rain all over the sky and felt that she would never forget it.

However, I have also become more sober.

What is the purpose of Tantai Yunyi doing this?

After the sword dance, Tantai Yunyi walked in front of Situ Yaorao and saw Situ Yaorao looking at him seriously: "Your Highness."

"I told you, just call me Yun Yi."

"As the Crown Princess, if I call you Yun Yi, it will inevitably lead to misunderstanding. And I don't want this incident in the peach blossom forest to happen again." Situ Yaorao was firm in her attitude.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Just because I like you?"

"Yes... I don't want to make him sad, nor do I want to make him worry. And I will never betray him. So, it's better for us to stay away from each other."

"Aren't you deceiving yourself by doing this? Do you think I will stop liking you if I stay away from you?" Tan Tai Yun Yi couldn't help but shout.

Situ Yaorao paused, turned around, and looked at the man: "Tantai Yunyi, I don't think I'm an outstanding woman. What do you like about me? I've changed."

Tantai Yunyi was at a loss for words when he heard this. What did he like about her? Of course, he liked everything about her.

But how could he dare to continue saying these words? Her attitude was already so resolute.

"Maybe there is really no fate between you and me. Sometimes I wonder why... you don't like me? I think I am not inferior to him." Tan Tai Yunyi said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but sigh: "Who can know about matters like love? I only know that I like him. If it weren't for him, there would be no Situ Yaorao today."

"I understand. So... can you accompany me to see the scenery today? It can also be regarded as a memory." Tan Tai Yun Yi said.

Situ Yaorao nodded after hearing this: "Okay."

Situ Yaorao didn't want to agree at first, but when she saw Tan Tai Yunyi's sad face, she couldn't help but nodded.

"I like peach blossoms very much. Do you know why?" Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Situ Yao Rao and said.

"Why?" Situ Yaorao asked.
