The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

After the busy affairs finally came to an end, Ouyang Han led Chen Mengyao, Lin Yu, and the others onto the carriage to return to the manor. During the journey, Chen Mengyao meticulously explained to Ouyang Han how the people sent by her brothers and sisters had quickly mastered the installation methods for the cameras and alarms. She reiterated her suggestion that these devices should be installed in every corner of the manor and in her own courtyard to ensure security. She also hoped that Ouyang Han could convey this importance to her other brothers and sisters and suggested that they be installed throughout the palace as well, so that they could monitor constantly and promptly detect and prevent any infiltration by enemy spies or those with ulterior motives.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Han found the suggestion excellent and immediately decided to arrange it upon returning to his residence. Back at his residence, Chen Mengyao instructed Lin Yu and the others to split up: one group went to the Prince's residence, while the other entered her own. Working together, the two groups quickly installed cameras and alarms in various key locations. Ouyang Han also dispatched his secret guards to secretly convey messages to his elder brother, the Crown Prince, and others, reminding them to also install cameras in their respective residences. He specifically instructed the Crown Prince to personally supervise the installation work within the palace, including the residences of each empress and the courtyards of the palace maids and eunuchs. He also instructed the Crown Prince to tactfully explain to the empresses that this was for their safety, and that the installation of cameras for the palace maids and eunuchs should be completed discreetly in their absence.

Once everything was installed, Chen Mengyao finally felt relieved. To thank Lin Yu and the others for their hard work, she took out a large amount of snacks, pastries, fruits, and drinks from her personal space and generously gave them to them. In addition, she thoughtfully prepared some skincare products for their families. Lin Yu and the others were deeply surprised and grateful. They felt that this princess was not only kind-hearted but also incredibly considerate, and they all vowed to work even harder to manage her department store to repay her kindness and trust.

After Lin Yu and his group left, Chen Mengyao belatedly realized that her stomach was empty, and a wave of hunger washed over her. She suddenly understood that she had completely forgotten about dinner in her busy schedule. So, she quickly took out a meal from her spatial storage; the aroma of the food instantly filled the air, whetting her appetite. She eagerly sat down and savored the warm dinner, each bite bringing her satisfaction and happiness.

After finishing her meal, Chen Mengyao felt a sense of comfort and ease. She decided to rest for a while and let her body relax. She gently leaned back on the soft sofa, closed her eyes to rest, and let her thoughts drift in the tranquil atmosphere. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, got up, and washed up. The series of actions seemed so natural and composed.

After washing up, she returned to her bedroom, lay on the bed, and couldn't help but sigh at what another busy day had been. Despite her efforts to stay energetic, the fatigue was undeniable. She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to drink the invigorating spring water that could refresh the mind and restore energy. She silently told herself that she must remember tomorrow, especially in the morning, and drink a cup to see if it would keep her energized and refreshed throughout the day. With this expectation, she drifted off to sleep, looking forward to facing new challenges in a better state tomorrow.

After a moment's thought, since the internet was already connected, why not simply teach everyone how to use WeChat and make phone calls? This would make sending messages and maintaining relationships much more convenient. So, she gracefully moved into her space and went to the redemption page to check how many points she had left. Recalling how, in her haste last time, she had only redeemed raffle tickets, raffle boxes, and membership cards, without carefully checking her points balance, she couldn't help but feel a little curious. When she looked closely, she was astonished to find that her points balance was over 50,000! Thinking back on her recent busyness, she hadn't even noticed where these points came from, and a few doubts arose in her heart.

She softly called to Xiaobai, asking about the origin of these points. Xiaobai explained in detail that the five thousand points came from her kindness and wisdom displayed during the family reunion, which won the unanimous praise and goodwill of the ministers and their families. The ten thousand points were earned because she generously distributed fruits and pastries to the people and provided high-yield grain seeds, making the people grateful and spreading her good deeds widely, thus earning her even more points. As for the remaining points, she suggested and had the Crown Prince and others provide alarm systems and cameras, providing strong protection for the people's safety. This action also won the people's praise, bringing her a generous reward of points. Furthermore, these good deeds accumulated merit points for her, which now reached an astonishing one hundred thousand.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mengyao suddenly realized that her unintentional act had actually brought her so many points and merits. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and then she thought of a new use for it. She asked Xiaobai if she could use these points to exchange for phone cards so that her relatives and friends in Beijing could stay in touch with her by phone or WeChat. Xiaobai smiled and nodded, telling her that these points could indeed be used to exchange for phone cards, and that the exchanged phone cards did not require real-name registration and could be freely given to others. One thousand points could be exchanged for five hundred phone cards, a quantity more than enough to meet her needs.

Chen Mengyao was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately redeemed a thousand phone cards for emergencies. This transaction consumed two thousand of her points, but her remaining points balance was still over forty-eight thousand, enough for her to redeem other necessities.

After handling all the matters related to the phone cards, Chen Mengyao felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart, and she felt much lighter. She carefully checked everything to make sure everything was correct, then packed all the phone cards into a box and took them out of her storage space.

Back in her bedroom, Chen Mengyao changed into comfortable pajamas and snuggled into the soft, warm blankets. She closed her eyes, savoring the tranquility and peace of the night, her heart filled with contentment and serenity. That night, she slept exceptionally soundly.

As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the curtains onto her face, Chen Mengyao slowly opened her eyes, welcoming the new day with hope and anticipation. She took out several mobile phones from her spatial storage, and after breakfast, she and her maids boarded a carriage and went to Yu Yan Fang. There, she gathered all the guards and Mu Xue's group, explaining in detail the function and importance of the installed equipment. She told everyone that these cameras and alarms could not only monitor Yu Yan Fang at any time but also issue timely alerts in case of any emergency.

After listening to Chen Mengyao's meticulous arrangements, Mu Xue and the others gave her approving looks, expressing their sincere admiration for her thoughtful consideration. Chen Mengyao then handed them her phone and patiently guided them on how to view the camera footage and operate the alarm. Everyone listened attentively, following Chen Mengyao's careful instructions step by step, learning how to use the equipment to ensure they could take swift and effective action in an emergency.

Chen Mengyao further explained that this phone not only enables instant messaging but also allows users to stay in touch with distant relatives and friends via WeChat. Although currently limited to Beijing, it will eventually cover the entire country. She stated that she would teach them how to use the phone's communication functions today. When they learned that this seemingly insignificant little device possessed such powerful long-distance communication capabilities, they were all amazed and became even more focused and attentive in their learning.

Chen Mengyao first demonstrated how to install a SIM card and taught them how to save their phone numbers to their phones. Next, she guided them to download and register WeChat accounts, then added them to a WeChat group. She also explained in detail how to send voice, video, and text messages, ensuring everyone could master the techniques. After confirming everyone had learned, she reminded them that they could contact her anytime via phone or WeChat, whether for work or personal matters, and that they could freely communicate with friends in the group. She also taught them how to add friends.

In addition, Chen Mengyao introduced them to other functions of the phone, such as taking photos, recording videos, recording audio, and playing games, suggesting they use them for leisure in their spare time. However, she also seriously reminded them that they could only use their phones during their off-duty hours and that it shouldn't affect their work the next day. Otherwise, she would have to disable these functions. Everyone was excited to learn about the phone's many functions and promised to use it responsibly and not let it interfere with their work.

After ensuring everyone was proficient in the communication functions, Chen Mengyao led the maids to the department store. She first took out her phone and patiently taught them how to use it, from adding her number and contacting her via WeChat to exploring other entertainment content, explaining each step in detail. Then, she created a new group chat and added Lin Yu, Chu Youran, and others to it. Once they had mastered these basic operations, she further demonstrated how to use the phone to view real-time surveillance footage. After they had all mastered it, Chen Mengyao began to test whether they had memorized the numbers and their corresponding traditional Chinese characters. The test went very smoothly, and everyone successfully passed.

Next, Chen Mengyao began to carefully teach them how to register their membership card information. She took out several exquisite notebooks from her sleeve, distributed them to them, and suggested that each customer should have their own notebook to record their consumption. As for the goods and rules for redeeming points, she said she needed to think about it carefully before informing them, but emphasized the importance of points—points can be accumulated continuously, and the higher the points, the higher the value of the goods that can be redeemed.

She spent about an hour explaining the registration process in detail and had them try it out one by one to check their understanding. As expected, they quickly learned how to register and did it quite well.

Afterwards, Chen Mengyao introduced the lucky draw activity for the opening day. She explained that every customer who made a purchase, regardless of the amount, would receive a raffle ticket. The draw would take place before closing time in the evening, and she hoped that Lin Yu and the others could clearly explain this to the customers and remind them to keep their raffle tickets safe. She then personally demonstrated the raffle process and had them try it one by one, pointing out and correcting any problems until everyone had mastered it.

Finally, Chen Mengyao personally played the role of a customer, letting them practice how to introduce the products and opening activities to guests. She required everyone to take turns to introduce the products and activities, ensuring that everyone could fluently describe the opening day's events and product information. After several rounds of rehearsals, she finally nodded in satisfaction.

It was nearly noon, so Chen Mengyao decided to treat them to a meal at a restaurant as a reward. She also arranged for them to continue practicing what they had just learned at the shop for the next three days, and mentioned that she would invite Wangye and others to play the roles of customers, so they could be ready for opening day at any time.
