Unaware of this, Jiang Yu was fully recovered the next day and enthusiastically took Qingyu out to continue her grand ambitions.

With her little yellow duck water bottle slung over her shoulder, her little yellow duck snack bag in hand, and her little yellow duck hair clip on her head, the Empress makes her adorable debut.

Fully equipped, Jiang Yu waved goodbye to the Empress, while Shen Ji watched her leave like a virtuous wife.

Ten minutes after Jiang Yu left, Shen Ji also left.

Wang Ma, who was bent over on the ground, outwitting the old hen and fighting for the chicken coop, looked up blankly.

Did something happen again just now?

The more confident the Empress was when she went out, the more melancholy she is now.

Jiang Yu and Qing Yu sat in a milk tea shop on the street, looking out the window, sucking on the tapioca pearls in their milk tea while feeling melancholy.

As she sighed for the third time, the perceptive Qingyu asked a question.

"Your Majesty, what is troubling you? Perhaps Qingyu can help you."

Jiang Yu sighed with a gloomy face, "Money is hard to earn, and life is tough. ( ̄~ ̄) Chew chew chew~"

Watching Jiang Yu chew on pearls with her cheeks puffed out and sigh occasionally, Qingyu pondered for a moment, then took out her phone, scrolled through it, and showed her the screen.

"Qingyu is willing to offer all her savings; I wonder if that will be enough to resolve Your Majesty's troubles?"

Jiang Yu listlessly lifted her eyelids and glanced at the screen, swallowing back the "no need" that was about to come out of her mouth. She stared wide-eyed at the phone screen in disbelief.

Looking at that string of zeros above, my mind went completely blank.

Startled, she looked up at Qingyu and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

"In the three years since I came out of seclusion, many people have sought my treatment, and these are all the fees they have paid for my services." Qingyu's tone was very calm, without the slightest ripple.

The only one whose actions caused turmoil was the Empress.

The Empress's world has collapsed.

So, it turns out, only I am poor!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻Damn it~

Jiang Yu tearfully refused Qing Yu's suggestion to hand over her savings to the national treasury, because a good emperor would not use his subjects' money to support his empress.

Without comparison, there's no harm done; looks like I'll have to pull off something big.

Let her think of any shortcuts.

As she pondered, she suddenly spotted the bank across the street, and a wicked smile spread across her face.

I dialed the familiar number and heard a familiar yet indifferent voice on the other end.

"explain."

"If I robbed a bank, could you bail me out?"

"...I will personally escort you in."

After saying that, Jiang Mingyue coldly and ruthlessly hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Jiang Yu pouted and took another big gulp of pearls, chewing them.

It seems that the bank across the street isn't a shortcut to making money, but rather a shortcut to getting in.

As Jiang Yu racked his brains trying to figure out a quick way to make money without having to go inside, a sarcastic and arrogant voice came from behind him.

"Oh, who is this? It's you."

Jiang Yu turned around in confusion and fell silent when she saw Chen Wanru and her little follower looking at her with their chins raised and eyes sideways.

Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't dare to retort, Chen Wanru became even more interested, glancing at her sideways and sneering.

"Jiang Yu, I thought you were something special after I heard you were adopted by the Jiang family. But now it seems you're nothing special. You're still so poor that you can only afford a cup of milk tea that costs a dozen yuan." Chen Wanru mocked sarcastically.

"Exactly, you poor wretch," the lackey echoed mindlessly.

The empress, who was being criticized for being stingy and only able to afford a cup of milk tea costing a dozen yuan, silently glanced at the dozen-yuan cup of milk tea in the other person's hand.

No wonder I knew she was poor; it turns out she was poor too.

Jiang Yu sighed softly, looked at Chen Wanru with sympathy, picked up her milk tea, and took a big sip of the pearls, chewing them.

There are lots of beads.

As Jiang Yu chewed, she looked at Chen Wanru with her big, adorable eyes filled with sympathy.

No wonder I thought she was crazy before; it turns out she was poor.

Unaware of Jiang Yu's thoughts, Chen Wanru was still immersed in her own emotions.

The thought of Jiang Yu becoming impoverished and destitute while he himself became rich and powerful, thus gaining an advantage over her in terms of wealth, was unbearable.

After more than a decade, she finally won.

Lost in thought, I suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha..."

Chen Wanru's infectious laughter echoed in the small milk tea shop, drawing strange looks from everyone.

Qingyu couldn't help but frown, and leaned closer to Jiang Yu to ask, "Your Majesty, do you need Qingyu to deal with her?"

"No need, she's just not very bright, don't worry about her." Jiang Yu waved her hand, speaking with an air of seriousness.

Another one with a mental disability?

Why is it that almost everyone Your Highness knows has some kind of mental problem?

Qingyu was puzzled, but she didn't ask.

After laughing, Chen Wanru adopted an arrogant and domineering rich girl attitude, glanced at Jiang Yu and snorted, "Although you always did better than me in exams and danced better than me, making me lose to you every time."

"But now I'm richer than you, so I've won this time."

Qingyu was silent for two seconds, then leaned closer to Jiang Yu and asked, "What is she saying?"

Jiang Yu chewed and chewed: "You're praising me."

"Although you used to be annoying, I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you. As long as you admit that I'm better than you, I'll allow you to play with me, how about that?" Chen Wanru said arrogantly.

Jiang Yu blinked and leaned closer to Qingyu, whispering something.

"Although she's not very bright, she's a really nice person. Last time she saw me, she even offered to treat me to milk tea. It's just that her eyesight isn't very good; she's a little cross-eyed," Jiang Yu said to Qingyu in a serious tone.

"Does Qingyu need to treat her strabismus?" Qingyu asked in a serious tone.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and shook her head. "Judging from her appearance, she probably likes to look at people sideways. Never mind, Mother said we should respect other people's choices."

"What are you two whispering about? I'm asking you a question!" Chen Wanru was extremely anxious as she watched the two of them talking to each other right under her nose, without even knowing what they were discussing.

Jiang Yu looked up at her, gently put down the milk tea in her hand, stood up, and tilted her head back, revealing a look of imperial disdain.

"I am the ruler of a nation, born the most outstanding person. How can you compare to me?" she declared in a soft yet arrogant voice.

Chen Wanru and her little follower were stunned.

"You...you...you humiliated me?" Chen Wanru's hands trembled in disbelief.

"What Your Majesty says is true, how can it be considered an insult?" Qingyu would not allow anyone to slander His Majesty.

"You...you guys have gone too far." Chen Wanru looked at Jiang Yu and Qingyu, uttered a weak and shameful curse, and then ran away crying.

"You guys have gone too far." The henchman also snorted and cursed, then turned and chased after Chen Wanru.

Jiang Yu and Qing Yu were left completely bewildered.

Is it really that much to say just a few words? This little girl can't handle this.

After Chen Wanru left, Jiang Yu sat down again and continued drinking milk tea and chewing on the tapioca pearls, showing a satisfied expression.

(=̴̶̷̤̄ ₃ =̴̶̷̤̄) Wow, so many beads today!
