A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

"What's the matter with me?"

"Young master, I heard that Lou Shenghan has entrusted Lou Xiaobao to the General's Mansion. I would like to go and see him."

Hua Buyu swayed her alluring body toward the man in front of her, smiling obsequiously.

"Want to get beaten up again?"

"..."

She suddenly felt a dull pain in both cheeks. She never expected this man to be so perverted. Knowing that she loved beauty, he would only let Fei'e pinch her beautiful face, which was so delicate that he would not let go until he had pinched it for a full hour. It was infuriating. Over the years, it had made her face much bigger.

"Young master, that little Lou baby is really cute, and Yan Yan is also fun. Please let me go and play with them!"

The man's gaze toward Hua Buyu grew increasingly cold, and his tone became extremely unfriendly: "I sent you to Yuanqi to reorganize the business, not to play around."

"Oh dear! It's not like I haven't been working. Please let me rest for a few days every now and then! Look at these past two years, I've been working day and night for you in Qiyun. Look how haggard my once beautiful face has become!"

After saying that, she leaned towards him like a willow swaying in the breeze. The man quickly pulled away, and Hua Buyu's body suddenly tilted back, her hands already braced against the table in anticipation.

Hehe! She's already experienced with this now.

"You want to seduce Xin Moyan?"

"Tsk~ Young master, what are you saying? Yan Yan is innocent and cute. Can't I just be good friends with her? Why do you say I'm seducing her?"

Hua Buyu clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction. These two, master and servant, thought of her in such a vulgar way. She didn't always get lustful at first sight, okay?

"How much did Prince Lie spend at Yunxiang Tower a few days ago?"

"Not much, just three thousand five hundred taels of silver."

The man raised an eyebrow, asking uncertainly, "When did the prices on the third floor of Yunxiang Pavilion become so high?"

"Hmph! Who told that Prince Lie to be so blind and break off his engagement with my Yan Yan? Of course we should give him a good beating."

His lips twitched slightly, then he stopped talking.

"Young master, please let me rest for a few days. I promise that after a while, I will work hard and even more diligently."

"..."

Hua Buyu's coquettish and cute expressions didn't get a response from the man, but she just gave him a heads-up, and at most he'd pinch her cheeks for another hour next time!

As long as this man isn't truly angry...

The next day—

"Mother~ Little Lucky Butterfly~"

Lou Xiaobao excitedly pointed his little finger at a pair of butterflies in the flower bushes, calling Xin Moyan over to take a look.

After countless corrections from the siblings, they've stopped insisting that Lou Xiaobao change his way of addressing her as "Mother"...

"Xiao Bao, this is called a butterfly."

"Fukuchou~"

"Butterfly!"

"Fukuchou~"

"Sigh~ It's probably because Prime Minister Lou was too sharp-tongued in the past that he gave birth to such a cute little baby. One should really do some good deeds!"

Xin Moyan sighed helplessly, as Cai Lian's voice grew closer and closer.

"Miss!"

"Cailian, what's wrong?"

Cailian ran up to her, panting, and said, "Miss Hua, who went to see the lanterns with you the other day, is here and is waiting for you in the hall!"

"Buyu is here? Perfect, I've been thinking about her these past few days!"

Xin Moyan's face lit up immediately. Her brother had gone to court, and she had been spending the last two days at home with Xiaobao, just playing around and chatting with him. Last night before going to bed, she was thinking that if Buyu were here, she and Buyu would take Xiaobao out to play!

She took the child's hand and hurried to the front hall, where she could see a fiery red figure wandering around from afar.

"Keep silent!"

Hua Buyu turned around and saw the two of them rush over, immediately picking Lou Xiaobao up in her arms.

"Sister~"

"Little Lou, have you missed your big sister?"

Yes!

"Yes, I miss Xiaobao too!"

She gave the little one a big kiss on the cheek, making him laugh out loud.

"Buyu, what have you been doing these past two days? I was thinking of sending someone to Yunxiang Tower to invite you over!"

"I was so bored, so I came to your house to find you. I didn't expect to find Xiao Lou here. Where is his dad?"

Xin Moyan pulled her to sit down and pushed the pastries on the table forward.

"Prime Minister Lou said he was busy with official duties and asked me to help take care of Xiaobao for a few days."

She pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, "This father is really irresponsible. You've only met Xiaobao once, and he's already so comfortable entrusting the child to you. Luckily, Yan Yan, you're kind-hearted, otherwise he would definitely have ripped him off."

Xin Moyan paused in pouring tea, gave a dry laugh, and then said awkwardly, "Actually... Prime Minister Lou also paid me a little reward."

"Oh? How many are there?"

Hua Buyu raised an eyebrow, moved a little closer to her, and looked at her curiously.

"Hmm~ two shops."

"A shop is great! When you have some free time in a while, Yan Yan, you can start a small business so you won't be too bored at home all day."

"There is also... one thousand taels of silver."

Hua Buyu's eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "You charged Lou Xiaobao a thousand taels of silver just for taking care of him for a few days?"

She nodded honestly, and when she told her brother, he had the same expression. Was she really such a shrewd businesswoman?

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Yan Yan, I didn't expect that you, who look so well-behaved and cute, are actually darker than me. I only want five hundred taels."

Xin Moyan scratched her head sheepishly. She didn't really understand the monetary units here, but Lou Shenghan was being quite generous this time.

Concealing her surprise, Hua Buyu quickly said with a grin, "Yan Yan, although you, as a princess, are not short of money, with this sudden extra thousand taels of income, you should at least treat us to a meal, right?"

"Hehe~ Sure! That's what I was thinking too. I also want to buy my brother a gift!"

"Let's go shopping!"

Hua Buyu spoke with great excitement; she loved playing!

"Well, but my brother is about to finish court. I want to wait for him to come home. He said I should tell him before I go out."

"Oh dear! It's embarrassing for us girls to go shopping with a grown man all the time. Besides, aren't you going to give Xin Moling a gift? It should be a surprise, so he'll know when he gets there!"

Xin Moyan thought that made sense, and besides, she hadn't decided what to give her brother yet!

"Let's hurry up and head out, or things won't be fun when Xin Moling gets home!"

She held Xin Moyan's hand and Lou Xiaobao's hand with her other, and was about to walk out the door when Cailian quickly called out to her young mistress.

"Miss, the young master said that if you go out alone, you should have Sister Hongluan accompany you. She was sent to the military camp by the young master last night to handle some matters and has not returned yet!"

"Cailian, with me here, no one dares to bully my Yan Yan, don't worry."

She gave Cailian a reassuring look, and the group swaggered out the door.
