A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

Chapter 8 Go away, don't block my business!

Pei Yunjing became interested, his eyes fixed on her face, a slight smile playing on his lips, and asked leisurely, "Niannian, what's your plan?"

Upon hearing this, Niannian's big eyes darted around, as if she were deep in thought.

Then she scratched her cheek with her little hand, patted her little chest confidently, and answered in a childish voice, "I have a way! Brother Yun Jing gave me some ointment, so I'll definitely help Auntie too!"

Pei Yunjing looked at Niannian's innocent and adorable appearance and couldn't help but smile slightly, his eyes full of doting and expectation.

He said softly, "Alright! I believe you!" He wanted to see what the Mirror Fairy could offer to help his mother regain her beauty.

Niannian was overjoyed to have gained Pei Yunjing's trust.

She nodded obediently, then turned her gaze to the piggy bank on the bedside table. With a "whoosh," she jumped off the chair and stood on the floor.

Just then, Niannian suddenly realized that the door was not fully closed, so she skipped over to the door and pushed it shut with all her might.

Then, she ran to the wardrobe, opened the door, and took out a small, delicate pink backpack, which she carried on her chest.

Finally, she went back to the bedside and turned the piggy bank on the bedside table upside down so that its opening faced upwards.

With great effort, Nian opened the lid of the piggy bank, then reached her little hand inside and tried her best to grab the banknotes inside.

After a while, her little backpack was bulging with red bills. She carefully put down her piggy bank and then gently zipped up the backpack.

Niannian ran out of the door with great joy. At this moment, Wenwan slowly walked out of the room next door. Watching Niannian's departing figure, she finally felt at ease.

This girl is a complete idiot now!

If I show the video I just recorded to the old man, he will definitely send Niannian to the hospital for mental treatment immediately.

Hmph, by then, no one in this family will be able to compete with Tongtong for the old man's favor.

......

As Niannian walked, she muttered to herself, "Daddy said that when we're out and about, we must never talk to strangers, and we must never eat anything given to us by strangers, we must never..."

Fearing being discovered by the security guard, she decided to sneak out through the dog hole in the backyard.

"Hey!"

Niannian lay on the ground, slowly poked her head into the dog hole, and with a push of her little bottom, successfully squeezed out...

In ancient times, at the gate of the cold palace...

"Make way! Make way! Let this concubine in!" Consort Wan stood at the door, anxiously trying to rush in, but was stopped by two guards.

“Your Majesty…this is the Cold Palace. Only the Emperor’s permission is permitted to enter!” a guard replied coldly.

Consort Wan glared at him with resentment, "You bunch of dog servants! Now that the Sixth Prince has been assassinated, the prince's safety in the Cold Palace cannot be guaranteed. How can I, this concubine, feel at ease? Let me in at once!"

The guard remained silent...

Just then, Pei Chang'an slowly walked out of a dilapidated house. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were crooked, and his shoes were even on backwards.

When Consort Wan saw her son's miserable state, her heart ached, and tears welled up instantly. She said with heartache:

"Chang'an, Chang'an, don't be afraid, your mother is here to save you! Don't be afraid!"

At this time, Chang'an was still very young, only three years old. However, at such a young age, he suffered a severe punishment—being confined to the cold palace.

All of this stemmed from the fact that he fell asleep in class and failed to complete his assignments.

But in reality, Consort Wan knew very well that things were far more complicated than that. In fact, the real reason lay with her father, Wang Simin.

Wang Simin once spoke up for Prince Pei Nanxing in court, uttering some fair words, which displeased the emperor.

Therefore, the emperor intended to teach Chang'an a lesson in this way, and at the same time, to serve as a warning and threat to Wang Simin.

Consort Wan wanted to go further to look around, but the guards, holding canes and sticks, blocked her way and said to her:

"Your Majesty, please return! No one may enter without the Emperor's permission."

Upon hearing this, Consort Wan was extremely anxious, but she did not give up easily. She took out a heavy bag of silver from her pocket and tried to stuff it into the guard's hand, hoping to get a better deal.

However, the guards resolutely refused her bribe, saying they dared not accept it. They knew all too well that if the Emperor found out about this, they would all likely lose their heads.

"You won't listen to reason! You'll have to suffer the consequences! You bunch of lackeys, just you wait, I'm going to find the Emperor right now!" Consort Wan said angrily as she put away the silver.

After saying that, she waved to Pei Chang'an and said softly, "Chang'an, wait a little longer, your mother will go to find your father right away!"

Consort Wan turned and left, leaving the guards looking at each other in bewilderment.

Damn it, damn it, why isn't Pei Yunjing dead yet!

In a modern shopping mall, at the Laiya counter...

Fortunately, as soon as Niannian reached the main intersection, she met a kind taxi driver who kindly took her to the mall entrance and gently reminded her to be careful.

Niannian thanked the driver and paid the fare, then asked for directions all the way to the counter. She carefully tiptoed, craning her little head out, and said in a soft, adorable voice:

"Hello! Is anyone there? I want to buy skincare products..."

Just then, a saleswoman heard Niannian's noise, glanced around, saw it was a little kid, and with a look of disgust on her face, said impatiently:

"Go away, get out of my way, don't block my business."

As she spoke, she tried to drive Niannian away.

"Sister, sister, I'm here to buy things!" Niannian hugged her small backpack tightly and explained anxiously.

She pouted, her heart filled with confusion and grievance, not understanding why this older sister wanted to send her away.

The saleswoman looked Nian Nian up and down and noticed that she was dressed simply with no brand logos, so she concluded that she was just a poor girl and couldn't possibly have the ability to buy things.

She caught a glimpse of the intern who had just arrived and instructed her, "Xiao Zhang, you serve this little guest. My guest who made an appointment will be here soon!"

After saying that, she walked to the side and took out her phone.

Xiao Zhang immediately put down what she was doing and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, sister!" As she spoke, she quickly walked up to Niannian.

She crouched down and patiently asked, "Little guest, what do you need here? Didn't your parents come with you?" After speaking, she looked around curiously.

Niannian shook her head and said cutely, "I came out alone, sister. I want to buy skincare products. My aunt has freckles and pimples on her face!"

As she spoke, her chubby little hands gripped the strap of her small backpack.

Hearing this, the saleswoman at the counter suppressed a laugh; what could such a little kid afford? She didn't want to waste her breath.

Meanwhile, her hand kept swiping the phone screen, scrolling through videos... "No matter how you turn around, your butt will always be behind you~"
