Holding the script, I want to give up.

Since Shangguan Zitong stopped going to the Imperial Academy, she has been sleeping until she naturally wakes up, living a very lazy life. Every day she learns martial arts from Yibai, learns etiquette and needlework taught by the nanny, and occasionally picks up Huangfu Hongxi, mainly to keep him company.

......

"This awful weather is so hot."

Shangguan Zitong was awakened by the heat. She rolled over and lay back on the chaise lounge, gently fanning herself with a silk fan. She enjoyed the cool air under the crabapple tree, watching Yibai train Youzhi and Youxi. She stopped crying instantly and felt extremely cool.

The crabapple blossoms were blown to the ground by the wind, and Shangguan Zitong finally felt a slight chill. She raised her hand to catch a petal and asked, "What does this flower smell like?"

"It seems to have a sweet taste."

Yibai also took a crabapple blossom and smelled it carefully.

"Perhaps the flavor was too faint for me to detect."

Shangguan Zitong said sadly, suddenly realizing that losing her sense of taste was not good at all.

"You all practice diligently here. I'll go to the imperial kitchen to see if there's anything good to eat."

After she finished speaking, she ignored their reactions, got up, put on her shoes, and ran towards the imperial kitchen.

"Hey Ali, it's hot, I want some milk tea."

[Here's the recipe from the video tutorial; whether you can make it successfully depends on your own skill.]

"Thank you, Ali."

Shangguan Zitong picked up the formula and sped up her work, full of enthusiasm.

Inside the imperial kitchen, all the chefs knelt down and bowed to the little princess upon her arrival.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?"

"Rise, all of you. I will make some iced drinks."

Everyone stood up, watching the princess's actions with a desire to help, but they were afraid of making things worse.

"Um, could you please help me?"

"The villain has arrived."

The chefs followed the princess and started cooking.

"You all help me find ice, lemons, mangoes, grapefruits, grapes, and more.

Shangguan Zitong only knows how to make simple lemonade, but she still tries her best to make other things. She describes the ingredients needed for milk tea to the chefs and then assembles the ingredients.

Shangguan Zitong felt a great sense of accomplishment when all the milk teas were made, while the chefs found it unbelievable.

"Send these iced drinks to the various palaces and see which ones they prefer."

Where is the head chef?

"Your Highness, I am here."

A plump, kind-looking middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed.

"I have written down all the recipes for iced drinks on this piece of paper. You can make as many as you can. After you have made them, send them to each of the palaces. Keep the rest for yourselves. If any of the other servants want some, give them some too. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Shangguan Zitong carried four bowls of mango pomelo sago back to her palace, where the imperial kitchen had already prepared the iced drinks and sent them to the various palaces and servants. Everyone praised the princess for being intelligent and considerate of her servants.

The Southern Emperor and Empress laughed at her for using her clever ideas on food. Shangguan Nuoyou thought her younger sister was kind, and Shangguan Xiyue thought her younger sister was good at everything she did.

......

As the sun sets, its afterglow paints the sky with pink and purple hues, creating a beautiful scene.

Shangguan Zitong placed the willow branch dew on the stone table in front of the hall and found no one there.

"Youzhi? Youxi? Yibai?"

Although they've been working on it for a long time, did they finish training so early today?

Seeing no response, Shangguan Zitong looked puzzled and could only sit on the stone bench, propping her face up with one hand and admiring the sky while waiting. She eventually fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the other three went out of the palace to pick up Huangfu Hongxi. Originally, it was just Yibai, but Youzhi and Youxi hadn't left the palace for a long time, so they pestered Yibai to go out of the palace with them to pick up the person.

As soon as they returned to the palace, Shangguan Zitong woke up. Seeing them walking towards her, chatting and laughing, she felt that the sunset was infinitely beautiful.

Huangfu Hongxi, following behind them, saw the princess, who had been dozing, slowly wake up from her nap.

Shangguan Zitong stood up and said, "This is an iced drink made by me and the Imperial Kitchen, called Mango Pomelo Sago. It can relieve the summer heat. You should try it and see if it tastes good."

After she finished speaking, she pushed the mango pomelo sago toward them, wanting them to try it.

Oh dear, I was careless. How come Huangfu Hongxi was here too? He drank it, so what am I supposed to drink?

"Huangfu Hongxi, you should drink too."

Shangguan Zitong's heart was bleeding. She had only drunk lemonade! She was thinking about the mango pomelo sago she had drunk with Youzhi and the others.

Everyone accepted the mango pomelo sago and drank it.

"Wow, Princess, it tastes delicious!"

"The princess is truly wise."

"Delicious."

Shangguan Zitong received unanimous praise; her nose was practically pointing to the sky.

"As long as it tastes good, that's fine. I've already spoken to the Imperial Kitchen. If you want some, just go and get it. There are other flavors too."

Youzhi and Youxi exclaimed with delight.

When Shangguan Zitong saw that Huangfu Hongxi was about to return to his side hall after finishing his drink, he called out to him.

"Huangfu Hongxi, wait a moment."

Shangguan Zitong ran into the palace and found the book she had used to prop up the corner of the dressing table under the dressing table. She pulled it out, shook it a couple of times, blew off the dust, and ran out.

"Here, take a look at this book. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

Shangguan Zitong felt a great sense of relief when she handed the book to him.

That book was given to her by the system, a concise version of the strategies for governing a country, meant for her to teach him. She simply threw it at him and let him figure it out on his own, acting as a hands-off manager.

"you can go now."

Seeing that Shangguan Zitong had given him the order to leave, Huangfu Hongxi decided not to linger any longer and left with the book.

"Princess, why are you giving him this blank book?"

Youxi asked, puzzled.

A book without words? So only I, the system, and Huangfu Hongxi can see its contents? How wonderful!

"I give him the ability to do calculations and drafts."

Shangguan Zitong said without changing his expression.

"Oh fine."

Youxi still looked completely bewildered.

"Yibai, continue teaching me martial arts."

"Yes."

Youzhi and Youxi watched the princess practice martial arts from the sidelines.

The most exhausted person has to be Yi Bai. He has to teach the princess, You Zhi, You Xi, and Huangfu Hongxi. He is definitely the most miserable working person.

However, Shangguan Zitong has already requested the Southern Emperor to give him a few more allowances each month.
