Chapter 1253 - 1062: Bargaining Prodigy
The first floor of Wanbao Pavilion was unusually quiet today, a stark contrast to its usual bustling noise.
In the main hall, a few of the most distinguished figures in Beijing were accompanying four children in picking out items!
Although the shop wasn’t cleared, no one dared to come forward and disturb them.
The owner of Wanbao Pavilion, upon receiving the news, hurried over and stood respectfully behind the counter like an ordinary servant, his face full of smiles as he personally attended to these little ancestors.
"This beaded flower is so pretty. How about I put it on you?" The Emperor held up a red beaded flower and motioned it toward the two small pigtails atop Daomang’s head.
Daomang glanced at the beaded flower with disdain. "No, it doesn’t match the clothes I’m wearing today."
Rejected without mercy, the Emperor wasn’t the least bit upset. Instead, he laughed and praised her, "Our Daomang is so smart! She already knows at this young age that accessories need to match outfits. Truly remarkable."
Upon hearing the compliment, Daomang’s little face lit up with a proud expression.
When the Emperor picked up yet another beaded flower, the little girl decisively pressed down his hand. "Oh dear, Grandpa Emperor, let me choose by myself, okay? You’re not a child anymore, so you don’t even know what kids like!"
The Emperor: "...Alright, alright, you can choose yourself. Grandpa Emperor will just stand by and watch, no interfering."
Several of the Crown Prince and his brothers, who were standing to the side, stared in shock at their usually majestic and commanding father, now accommodating a little child to such a degree. Their eyes widened as they struggled to adapt to the scene.
If they hadn’t known for sure this was their father, they might have suspected someone was impersonating the Emperor!
