How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 675: Involution Has Its Benefits Too
Pei Shu’er took out the gifts and gave them to Baili Kong; they were all thoughtfully crafted items.
Baili Kong looked at the two big black tubes in his hands and was momentarily stunned.
"What is... this?"
Pei Shu’er smiled and demonstrated how to use the telescope before placing it back in Baili Kong’s hands.
"Try and see what magical effect it has."
When Baili Kong put the telescope to his eyes, he froze for a moment, then removed it to look into the distance, then put it back to his eyes again.
From start to finish, his face was filled with astonishment.
"How can this... this object make distant things look so clear?"
Upon saying this, Pei Shu’er gently laughed.
"This is called a telescope. If you want to look into the distance or scout afar, this is the most suitable thing to use."
Baili Kong nodded in agreement, as his thoughts on how to use it were just the same.
Elated, he hung the telescope directly around his neck. Although it was an ancient-modern mix, it matched his aura quite coolly.
With Baili Kong occasionally peering into the distance through the telescope, he appeared somewhat childlike.
Once settled in the embassy, Baili Kong, having arranged everything, returned to his residence, fiddling with the telescope.
For the others, Pei Shu’er gifted them with double-sided brocade clothing, which they all loved.
The next morning, when Pei Shu’er saw Baili Kong, she found his gaze much gentler, and he seemed closer to her than before.
The guard next to him spoke up: "Thanks to the Empress, without this telescope, the Prince might not have escaped last night’s assassination attempt."
Pei Shu’er blinked: "Were there assassins last night?"
At that time, she was probably sleeping in the space with Tang Chong, too busy to notice what was happening outside.
Baili Kong laughed: "Indeed, these assassins were highly skilled and moved swiftly. If it hadn’t been for me using the telescope last night to see them before they started hiding, I wouldn’t have known there was a wave of assassins coming."
At this point, Baili Kong looked at Pei Shu’er with even more gratitude in his eyes.
"It’s also my first time realizing that your telescope can see the night scene so clearly."
Pei Shu’er laughed: "That’s the night vision function."
Baili Kong nodded: "So now, I’ve handed the telescope to the guards, allowing them to monitor the surroundings at all times, otherwise keeping it on me would be a waste."
Pei Shu’er smiled: "It was a gift for the Prince; however the Prince wishes to handle it is entirely up to him."
With these words, Baili Kong patted Pei Shu’er on the head, much like an elder would pat a younger one.
Pei Shu’er actually had no animosity towards Baili Kong; on the contrary, he gave off a gentle and refined vibe.
She smiled and was taken by Baili Kong for a stroll through the market of Great Shang.
Pei Shu’er then discovered that in Great Shang, the most abundant thing was food, and other textiles still remained at the level of Dayan from before.
At this moment, compared to the current level of Dayan, it was indeed quite behind.
The food here was also simple, better than before in Dayan, but still falling short when compared to Dayan’s.
Due to the presence of Pei’s, Dayan’s culinary industry was forced to upgrade, evolving from its initial bleakness to researching more delicious recipes.
Though still not on par with Pei’s, it’s already improved vastly from before.
Pei Shu’er tried opening a branch of Pei’s Restaurant here since it wouldn’t cost much silver.
As for the ingredients, there was no need to use those from the space; those from Great Shang were enough.
She then arranged for two cooks to work in Pei’s Restaurant, having them cook for everyone every noon.
The people of Great Shang, seeing so many people in the restaurant, were curious about how the food tasted.
After all, in the food industry, a lot of people means the food is good.
One attracted another, and slowly, the place filled with people.
In just two days, they had repeat customers, old ones bringing in new ones.
Very soon, Pei’s Restaurant became popular in Great Shang.
Seeing Pei’s Restaurant open, others started having different ideas.
Among those who came this time, there were not just textiles but also other things.
For example... Pei’s skincare products.
Considering that Pei’s people were here and seemingly had a profound relationship with the Empress, directly using Pei’s Trading House name would have been risky.
Now, they opened a cosmetic shop here.
Seeing their trial-use model, Pei Shu’er couldn’t help but laugh.
It seems Pei’s rough competition with Dayan’s merchants indeed had a positive effect, at least they learned the trial tactic.
At least Dayan merchants don’t have to worry about not making money in Great Shang anymore.
The people of Great Shang had never seen this kind of model, coming to try it out, and after trying it, they eagerly forked out money to buy, reaping riches.
Yinxing laughed: "Let them make money for a while, and also help promote us, so that when our Pei’s Trading House opens here, their profit margin won’t be so huge."
Pei Shu’er smiled, and the next day, they set off for the capital of Great Shang.
The place they were currently at was merely the State Mansion closest to the border, and to reach the capital of Great Shang, they had to travel over a thousand kilometers.
Therefore, Baili Kong coming such a long way to welcome them was enough to show the sincerity of the Emperor of Dashi and Baili Kong.
The two countries wished to form amicable relations.
Tang Zan, having just ascended the throne, needed support, and Great Shang was like giving help in the hour of need.
After a long journey, Shen Wanqing and Pei Jingyi nearly suffered from heatstroke.
Pei Shu’er had people make cooling soup three times a day and bought ice in large quantities whenever they reached a town.
Of course, she also mixed in some ice that had been stored in her fridge.
Everyone looked at Pei Shu’er, cool and fresh, and Tang Chong, giggling in her arms, admiring the duo’s strong constitution.
Along the way, Baili Kong took great care of Shen Wanqing, treating Pei Jingyi as if she were his own.
Their relationship was such that it was fresh and natural; Shen Wanqing always had a genuine smile on her face.
As a leisurely prince, the Emperor of Great Shang trusted Prince completely.
Of course, he didn’t have any power or troops under his command.
Following him, Shen Wanqing might have a good life.
But in modern times, even a reformed family might drift apart, let alone an ancient restructured family.
If Shen Wanqing married from Dayan to Great Shang, thousands of kilometers away in ancient times, if she were bullied, Pei Shu’er wouldn’t be able to help much.
Shen Wanqing said: "Shu’er, what are you looking at?"
Pei Shu’er smiled and shook her head, and Shen Wanqing picked up Tang Chong.
"Let Grandma hold my good grandson."
