Seeing the old lady walking away a little lost, Gu Yunyao was very satisfied.

She found that it was very easy to deal with the old lady and mention the old man.

After breakfast, Gu Yunyao began to color the paintings, make cakes, write down recipes for desserts, and prepare some condiments.

After lunch, the paintings and cakes were finished, and the master was asked to send them to the palace first, and then confirm the picnic outside the city in the evening.

Shen Munan was in the study, listening to the butler talking about the palace's expense accounts this month.

The housekeeper was also puzzled. The prince had always paid no attention to this, so why was it suddenly abnormal this month?

Could it be that someone had dirty hands and did something, and the prince knew about it?

The housekeeper's mind was running wild, thinking that he should check it carefully when he got back.

Chunni rolled her eyes: "Uncle Lu, winter is coming soon, will our winter rate increase this year?"

The housekeeper smiled and said: "Don't worry, they will all be there. You and Qiu Feng will add leather robes this year. They are all made of good quality materials."

Qiu Feng poked his head in: "Is the hair thicker? How does this scarf compare to mine?"

"……thick."

Chunni added: "Your Majesty, if you have nothing to do now, why don't you go to the private treasury and have a look? I want to pick up the pieces myself."

Shen Munan threw the account that he had just turned over to the butler: "That's right, let's go and take a look."

The housekeeper and Chunni looked at each other and understood instantly. He slapped his forehead and said, "Look at this old slave's memory. I just put a few pieces of leather into the warehouse the day before yesterday. I planned to show it to the prince, but I forgot about it when I got busy."

Chunni followed Shen Munan, and the housekeeper hurried forward to open the door and took out the list of items in the warehouse for Shen Munan to review.

Shen Munan glanced at it lightly and said as if nothing had happened: "Chunni, take it to the study. I will look at it when I have nothing to do and choose a few as betrothal gifts."

"Yes," Chunni took the order and exchanged glances with the housekeeper.

Shen Munan saw a red coral and frowned in disgust: "This thing is so big, it doesn't take up much space if you throw it here."

The butler nodded: "That's right, I always felt that it was taking up space, but it was rewarded by the emperor and said it was unique. I didn't dare to dispose of it at will. You see..."

"I see that there is nothing decent in the Yongning County Lord's yard, which is really humiliating to me, so I just want to move it to her to make room."

"yes!"

Qiu Feng came over and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let your subordinates smash two sticks and grind them into powder? I heard that this can calm the nerves and is very useful when you have trouble sleeping at night."

Shen Munan's face was expressionless: "Do you still have trouble sleeping? Isn't it because the hair on your scarf pricks you so much that you can't sleep?"

"Spring mud."

"exist."

"Give him some sweat medicine and he'll die in a short sleep."

Qiu Feng: "..."

Walking to the Night Pearl again, Shen Munan paused and Chunni said: "Your Majesty, this thing is too dazzling. It can be used as a lamp at night. Yongning County mainly wants to practice swordsmanship at night, so there is no need to light a torch."

"Ha," Shen Munan hummed, "her yard is dark and dark."

The steward immediately said: "Give me two, good things will come in pairs."

After just two rounds of shopping, the servant outside came to report: "Go back to your lord, there is a grandma outside asking to see you. She said she is from General Gu's mansion and is here to deliver something."

"Call to the study."

Shen Munan returned to the study yard and saw the headmaster standing at the foot of the steps, holding a painting scroll in one hand and a food box in the other.

I felt very happy instantly.

"What did you give me?"

"Go back to the Marshal. I don't know how humble my position is. A Yao just asked me to send it to you."

The boss put down his things and left. Shen Munan looked at the things and opened the scroll first.

The man in the painting comes out of the night, draped in moonlight, wearing a royal robe and a golden crown, with a tall and straight figure and full of aura.

Chunni looked at it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master, this painting is really good, it looks so much like you."

Qiu Feng's focus was strange: "Hey, Master, what are you holding in your arms?"

In the painting, Shen Munan is holding a furry dog ​​in his arms, with a round head, a round face, small eyes, small and pointed ears, the hair below the eyes is milky white, the forehead and back are golden, and the belly is white.

It looks like a dog, a naive dog, with its eyes squinted and its mouth raised, as if it were smiling.

The funniest thing is the posture of this dog. It feels strange and familiar at the same time.

"Is it...a dog?" Chunni said cautiously.

Qiu Feng disagreed: "How can there be such a dog? The dogs raised by our palace are all very ferocious."

Chunni was not sure either, so she kept her mouth shut.

Shen Munan looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason. When he saw Gu Yunyao, he had to ask clearly.

When he opened the food box and saw the cake inside, his eyebrows jumped slightly.

"Hey," Qiu Feng's eyes widened, "What kind of snack is this?"

The shape of the cake is the same as the furry one in Shen Munan's arms in the painting.

Shen Munan was certain that this was a dog, a dog he had never seen before.

Fat, chubby, silly, still smiling with squinted eyes, this shape...the two legs at the back are raised, the upper body seems to be leaning back, one front paw is on the side of the body, and the other is covering the Hold the chest.

An idea flashed in my mind.

Qiu Feng patted his thigh and laughed: "Oh my god, master, look at this dog, its front paws are covering its chest, as if to say, oh, I'm dying, I'm sick, please treat me! It's so funny..." …”

Shen Munan's eyes narrowed slightly, no wonder he looked familiar: wasn't this what he looked like when he pretended to be sick and covered his chest on the way to the palace?!

No wonder Gu Yunyao had a smirk on her face at that time. She had already made up her mind to do this, right?

Oh.

"Master, this dog is so delicate and always shows off, haha..."

Qiu Feng laughed so hard that tears came out.

Shen Munan looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Is it funny?"

"How funny!"

"Okay, in that case, go and find a dog like this."

Qiu Feng smiled and wiped away her tears, then said blankly: "Ah? Where can I find you?"

"I don't care, just go find him quickly."

Qiu Feng was confused and walked out with his head lowered. When he got to the door, he looked back, covered his mouth and smiled.

"Get out of here!"

…

It was almost evening, and the royal carriage stopped at the door of Gu's house. Gu Yunyao wanted to keep a low profile, but Shen Munan wished she could beat the gongs and drums.

After getting on the carriage, Gu Yunyao asked seriously: "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with the things?"

Shen Munan looked at the smile deep in her eyes: "I am very satisfied. I am still thinking about how to repay you."

"No, no, no, this is what I owe the prince." Gu Yunyao lowered her head to hold back her laughter, "I'll give you a picnic tonight."

"According to what you said, I ordered people to prepare meat. You will come to moxibustion and roast it later, as well as chicken."

Before Gu Yunyao could speak, Shen Munan continued: "Tomorrow, the king will take you to the zoo. The little animals you drew are very cute, and the snacks are also excellent. I am thinking about it, why not do it every day?" All kinds of animals come here once. How about it?"

Gu Yunyao was stunned.

"Every... species?"

"Um."

"How many kinds of animals are there in the prince's zoo?"

"Not much, just a thousand or eight hundred."
