Traveling through time and space

"Let's talk about this later. It'll take some time for the yard to be built anyway. Rumei, Dongmei, get started. Mother Yan, go ask Old Zhao to get things ready. I'm going out to listen to a story later." Dongmei really slashed Yi Dong's thigh with a knife...

But they weren't as strong as they'd imagined. "Princess, I'll speak first." Xingmei watched the knife go down. Although she didn't say anything in her hand, she was terrified. "I said that Eunuch Cao in the palace told me to go to the Marquis of Xiaoyong's mansion and look for a Buddha statue. Princess, the three of them are also asking for it." Xingmei and the other three.

"Eunuch Cao, which Eunuch Cao? What Buddha statue?" Su Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"Princess, Eunuch Cao is Cao Feng from the palace. He is the deputy general manager of the Imperial Household Department." Chunmei stepped forward.

"Cao Feng, is he the Deputy General Manager of the Imperial Household Department? Does the Marquis of Xiaoyong's Mansion have the Buddha statue they're looking for?" Su Yuanyuan looked at Mother Yan, who shook her head in confusion. "Xingmei, you've betrayed me. I can't keep you here, but I won't let you send any more letters for now. Yulin, you're responsible for keeping an eye on them. If they escape, you'll be guilty as well."

"Yes, Princess, I will take good care of them." Yu Lin stepped forward and answered.

"Yulin, Dongmei, Rumei, Daqizi, you stay here. This princess has something to tell you." After watching them all leave, "This princess also believes that you are sincere in serving the master. Since I have kept you here, I will definitely treat you sincerely in the future."

"Yes, Princess, I will serve you well."

"Well, you're all great. Who is this Eunuch Cao? I've never heard of him before."

"Princess, you've seen this man before." Mother Yan interrupted, "He was the chief steward of Anmi Palace."

Su Yuanyuan nodded. "There's something going on right now. Go investigate. You can torture these four, but you can't let them go just because we're comrades in the past. Treat them kindly. I want to learn more from them. Even if they die, I won't blame you. Of course, I also welcome their surrender. Does anyone have connections in the palace? I want to know about Cao Feng."

"Princess, I have a brother in the Imperial Guards who I get along very well with."

"Okay, Yulin, if you have a chance to find him, ask him about Cao Feng. You won't let him provide information for nothing."

"Yes, Princess, I know what to do."

"Dongmei, Rumei, Zhilin, you will accompany this princess for a while."

"Princess, Mrs. Wu came to ask when the two managers should come?" asked Mother Yan.

"Let them come over for dinner and have the kitchen prepare it. We won't be back for lunch and will go straight to Yuezhong Building."

"Yes, Princess," and everyone went about their business.

"Uncle Zhao, Dongmei, let's go visit all the wealthy families in this city today. This princess has been in the capital for over a year and hasn't come out to take a good look. Today, I'll go to the gates before I drive. Uncle Zhao, please arrange the route and go to Yuezhong Tower at noon."

"Princess, how about this? Let's go by the four directions of east, west, south, and north," Dongmei suggested. With a few seconding her, they followed this plan. They visited several princes' palaces, but didn't reach the Prince of De's Palace they were looking for. "Princess, Yuezhong Tower is just ahead," Dongmei said, looking outside from her seat by the car door.

"Uncle Zhao, let's stop. We've come all this way, now that we're here, let's have a meal first."

"Yes, Princess, please get off slowly," the car stopped and the people in the car got off. The plaque was still as majestic as ever.

"Hello, sir, please come in." This is a new waiter, standing at the door to greet guests.

Su Yuanyuan entered the shop. It was just after noon, and customers were starting to arrive. She felt someone coming in from behind, so she stepped aside. Someone came up to greet her. It was Zhang, the shopkeeper, whom she knew. "Upstairs, please." He wanted to call her "Princess," but Su Yuanyuan shook her head. He simply invited her upstairs.

"Boss, which boss is here?" Su Yuanyuan asked.

"To answer the princess, both young masters of the Lu family are here. Today is the eldest young master Lu's birthday, and they are hosting a banquet upstairs. Young master Cai hasn't been here for several days." The head shopkeeper explained. He knew that Young Master Cai was Su Yuanyuan's cousin.

"No problem, find an empty room and I can use it as I please..." Su Yuanyuan wanted to eat something casually as she had something else to do in the afternoon.

"Princess, why are you here?" A voice came from behind. Turning around, I saw it was Ge Congwen.

"Brother Congwen, you're here too." But upon closer inspection, he wasn't alone; there was a woman beside him, probably his wife, his sister. "Hello, Tenth Princess," Su Yuanyuan greeted as she ascended the stairs.

"Madam, this is Princess Anle Su Yuanyuan from the Su Mansion of Marquis Xiaoyong." Ge Congwen introduced.

"Are you the Princess Anle bestowed by my father?" The woman standing in front of her looked Su Yuanyuan up and down. "You're still a child,"

"Yes, I am Su Yuanyuan."

"You are just a princess who has been granted a title, and this is a princess. You should pay your respects to our princess." The maid of the Tenth Princess stepped forward and spoke.

"Qixiang, please don't be rude. Yuanyuan, would you like to have dinner with my wife and me?" Ge Congwen asked.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Congwen. Yuanyuan is just here to use some things. I won't disturb your world of two. Congratulations to you two once again. Happy wedding and a baby soon." Su Yuanyuan bowed and followed Shopkeeper Zhang to the other side.

"Princess, why are you here?" They had just sat down and hadn't even started ordering when Young Master Lu Zhilin came over. "Yuanyuan, today is Big Brother's birthday. Big Brother was worried you might be in a bad mood, so he didn't invite you. Come dine with us."

"So Yuanyuan wanted to come out and listen to books to change her mood."

"Yes, now that the old lady is gone, you have to live a good life yourself, so that the old lady can be at ease."

"Yuanyuan knows. Thank you, Second Brother Lu, for your concern. I won't disturb your family's meal."

"Yuanyuan, come with us. Your elder brother had something to do at home today and couldn't come," said Brother Lu.

"Brother Lu, happy birthday."

"Yuanyuan, come sit with us,"

"Thank you, Brother Lu, and Brother Lu, for your kindness."

"Yuanyuan, you will be the only head of the Su family from now on. If you want to support the Su Mansion, you have to go out and make friends. There is no one by your side to support this family for you. You have to solve everything by yourself. You have no one to rely on. You can no longer treat yourself as a child, a girl. There are many women showing their faces on the streets now." Young Master Lu was telling the truth.

"Thank you for the advice, Brother Lu. Yuanyuan understands. Yuanyuan can only rely on herself. However, since we are here and have made it, Yuanyuan will personally make longevity noodles for Brother Lu." Since we are here and have made it, let's go.

"That's what we want, second brother. Let's go back to the table." Su Yuanyuan went to the kitchen and asked someone to call the chef. They were the happiest every time they came, because when he taught them how to cook, he taught them very attentively, and they also learned very seriously. They were also the two best learners. Now they are the two chefs of Yuezhonglou. When they were asked to become chefs, the chef Su Yuanyuan played a decisive role, so they were very happy to see Su Yuanyuan. Although they were all in their thirties, they said that they were convinced because the chef had real skills. Seeing that the ingredients were very complete, Su Yuanyuan personally prepared two kinds of noodles, one longevity noodles and one mixed noodles.

"Master, let me serve it." Shen Pei'an picked up the longevity noodles.

"Mixed noodles. I'll go check on the number of people later and divide it into portions."

"I understand, master."

Pushing open the door, there was a table full of people sitting in the room. When Mr. Lu saw someone coming in, he stood up. "This is..." someone asked at the table.

"Hello everyone, I'm Su Yuanyuan," Su Yuanyuan greeted generously. "Brother Lu, this is longevity noodles. May you have this day every year."

"Okay, thank you, Princess, this is my cousin Lu Yujin, brother-in-law Tao Shenghong

This is my cousin Hao Zhongwei, my cousin Tian Yifang, my cousin Lu Xiaodong, and my cousin Lu Xiaobei. "Mr. Lu introduced them one by one. These were his family members and two friends.

"Hello, Princess. Hello, Princess." The men and women sitting there greeted her. After eating this meal, Su Yuanyuan felt that the Lu family's education was really good. Before they parted, the two young masters of the Lu family said that if there was anything, they could just send someone to find them at the Lu Mansion. Su Yuanyuan thanked them again and again, got on her own carriage, and continued the journey that she had not completed in the morning. She drove around for a few more minutes and looked around from a distance under their guidance.

"Princess, this is the Sixth Prince's residence," Dongmei called out after walking for a while. "I heard that the Sixth Prince is the Emperor's most beloved prince, and the decorations in his residence are different from those of other princes."

"The Crown Prince is the son of the late Queen, and the Second Prince is the biological son of Concubine Shen. How come the Sixth Prince is the Emperor's favorite prince?" Zhilin asked curiously.

"The Sixth Prince's biological mother was the Emperor's cousin, who grew up with him. She passed away due to illness when the Sixth Prince was seven years old. Since then, the Emperor has been personally teaching the Sixth Prince." Rumei explained, "I heard that the Emperor's cousin was very close to the Empress when she was alive. Some people even speculated whether the Emperor would make her Empress after the Empress passed away, but she passed away not long after."

"Who is the seventh prince's biological mother?" Su Yuanyuan asked.

"The Seventh Prince's biological mother is Consort Juan in the palace, but she is not favored by the Emperor."

"Dongmei, what about the prince? How is he?"

"Since the death of the late queen, the emperor has been quite good to the prince. From this, we can see that our emperor is not a man who is greedy for women. There hasn't been a beauty contest in the palace for five years," Dongmei seemed to know a lot.

"Princess, this is the Seventh Prince's residence. From the outside, the two residences look very different."

"Same position, different fate."

"Princess, this is Prince De's Mansion. Prince De is Zhao Zimo, the only son of Prince Liuyang, Zhao Lunyang." Rumei lifted the curtain and pointed to the door next to her.

"I heard about the heroic deeds of Prince Liuyang when I was in school." Su Yuanyuan pretended not to care.

"Princess, I heard that Prince Liuyang was once the old marquis's favorite disciple."

"Rumei, don't say that again. What's done is done. I'm a little tired. Let's go back to the mansion and go out again when we have time."

"I understand, Uncle Zhao, let's go back home," Rumei shouted in front.

"Xiao Yue'er, have you memorized the location?" Su Yuanyuan asked Xiao Yue'er after returning to her room.

"I've got three places."

"Okay, I'll make you something delicious later. You should get some rest. When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, we'll take action." Su Yuanyuan was a little excited at the thought of being a thief. It was so thrilling. "Xiaoyue, do you have any drugs? We can use them for fun?"

"Yes, but Xiaoyue doesn't want her to do anything bad, or she will suffer backlash."

Xiaoyue pouted.

"Is there such a thing?" Su Yuanyuan heard of it for the first time.

"Yes, sister, if you do something bad with the things in the space, you will lose points."

"Will I get extra points if I do good things?"

"Yes, there are many benefits to adding points. Xiaoyue can leave the space and transform into a human form, but you need thousands of points to do so. You can also increase the area of ​​the space."

"It's okay. I'll do good deeds every day and let you breathe freely sooner."

"Princess, Manager Zhang and Manager Xiang are here." Zhiju knocked on the door and later entered the room.

"Okay, go call Mother Wu, Mother Yan, Uncle Su and Xu Kun over to have dinner together tonight." Su Yuanyuan changed into casual clothes and went to Yong'an Hall, which was temporarily used as a living room.

"Greetings to the princess." Everyone saluted.

"Zhilin, have the kitchen set up dinner." Su Yuanyuan sat down. The others also arrived, and there was another round of greetings. Everyone was very happy with the meal. Su Yuanyuan asked about the status of the Laixi Hall, saying that she would go and see it in person another day. She also said that she had some jewelry that she couldn't wear for the time being, so she simply sold it to the shop to get some cash to renovate the courtyard. Su Bo asked, "Has the princess decided to renovate the courtyard?" Su Yuanyuan said, "Yes, of course there are two parts that need to be preserved as they are, but where will the people in the mansion live while the courtyard is being renovated?"

"Princess, there is something I have never dared to tell you. The old lady left behind a private property. I am afraid that if I tell it, the people of the Cai family will be concerned about it again." Su Bo said.

"I know it, too. It's on Yueque Street, but it's only half the size here. It's a three-story courtyard," Madam Wu interjected, and Madam Yan nodded, indicating they all knew. "It was originally the courtyard of the second wife's family. Of course, after the fire, the second wife had the land sold. The old lady had me quietly buy it and rebuild it. It's been rented out for years, and the last tenant recently moved out when their lease expired. I'm still wondering if I should inform the princess."

"Thank you, Mother Wu. Have someone clean up that place and we'll move there first. There's one more thing I don't understand. Why is Cao Feng looking for a Buddha statue? What's going on?" Su Yuanyuan asked.

"Princess, this servant has followed the old lady for so many years, but I have never heard of it," Mother Yan shook her head.

"When I was little, I did hear Madam Tai talk about a Buddha statue, but I haven't seen one in all these years. The old lady probably hasn't seen one either, she just heard about it. After Madam Tai passed away, we haven't heard about the Buddha statue again. But I don't know if the Buddha statue that Eunuch Cao is looking for is the one that Madam Tai mentioned." Mother Wu's words were a bit awkward, but Su Yuanyuan finally understood what she meant. She gave some instructions and asked them to go back.

Just after the hour of Chou, Su Yuanyuan stood up and said, "Dongmei, Rumei, you accompany me out for a while, but don't ask anything." Su Yuanyuan called Dongmei.

"Princess, do you want Uncle Zhao to prepare the horses?" Rumei asked.
