A short month flew by.

Qingyan sat on the soft couch, watching Sulan and Suxin busy preparing for their trip to the palace the next day.

"Princess, the Third Prince is getting married tomorrow, and this was sent by the Fourth Prince!" Su Lan held a mahogany tray in her hands, on which was a palace dress with a bright red background and golden silk thread embroidered with phoenixes.

Qingyan couldn't help but shake her head. This was clearly something that only concubines in the palace could wear. It was a gift from Yin.

At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder why, when Yin had asked her to enter the palace in a more discreet manner, he would have sent her with such ostentatious service.

"Sulan, you don't need to wear these clothes!" Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that someone was trying to cause trouble?

After lunch, she took advantage of her lunch break to speak with Yin.

As expected, the clothes were not a gift from Yin.

A chill ran through her. What would she have faced if they didn't have this means of communication?

"Little darling, are you sure it was me who sent it?" Consort Tong would never send such a palace dress; she herself is exceptionally proper.

Qingyan nodded. If it hadn't been sent by someone trusted by Yin, Sulan certainly wouldn't have presented it to her...

"Fourth Prince, have your people been bribed?" This question from the court official suggests that if Prince Yin becomes more cautious, the servants in the prince's quarters may not necessarily belong to him. Even his mother has had a few who have betrayed their masters.

"It should be, little darling. When your fourth uncle comes back, give him that palace dress and have him deliver it to Father Emperor overnight. I'm worried that this matter is aimed at your fourth uncle!" Yin took a closer look at the palace dress given to Qingyan. It was indeed of a very high standard, specially made by the Imperial Household Department. It seemed that he also needed to think carefully about his words.

Qingyan looked at Yin with concern, then nodded her little head. This matter definitely needs to be handled properly.

Just after lunch, Fei Yanggu returned to the mansion. Upon hearing the news from Su Lan, Qing Yan hurriedly ran to his study with a mournful face.

As soon as she stepped through the door, Fei Yanggu saw her aggrieved little face and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Who wronged Qingyan?!

Su Lan and Su Xin carried two large mahogany trays, covered with thick brocade cloth, so that outsiders could not see what was inside.

“Father…” Qingyan sobbed aggrievedly. Fei Yanggu strode to Qingyan’s side and patted her back with his large hand.

Fei Yanggu looked at A Dun and told him to clean up the room.

"Little darling, what's wrong?" Fei Yanggu asked Qingyan softly, seeing that Renren had already gone out.

"Father... I've been tricked," Qingyan muttered softly.

Fei Yanggu was stunned. Who would dare to scheme against Qingyan? Xiao Guai is quite capable. Scheming against Qingyan is tantamount to scheming against Yin.

Su Lan and Su Xin, sensing the princess's expression, lifted the brocade robes, revealing the bright red palace attire. This sight ignited Fei Yanggu's eyes, and the red coral and gold hairpin on his right side further fueled his anger.

This...isn't it ruining Xiao Guai's reputation?

etc!

"Little darling, who sent this?" Fei Yanggu looked at the craftsmanship of the palace dress and realized it didn't seem to be from the old house.

"It was sent by someone close to Si Si, and the person who sent it was a stranger." Qing Yan nestled in Fei Yang Gu's arms, his royal blue summer uniform soaked with her tears. Fei Yang Gu felt a pang of sadness; when had his daughter ever encountered such a situation? It seemed that someone disliked their family.

Fei Yanggu looked at the palace attire and jewelry, and without saying a word, had Su Lan and Su Xin cover them up.

"Little darling, come to the palace with your father!" Fei Yanggu felt something was amiss. Whether Qingyan didn't wear it or went out in it, people would probably talk.

Qingyan looked at him suspiciously. Didn't Sisi say that Father should just go to the palace by himself?

“Let’s talk in the carriage!” Fei Yanggu was worried that someone in the mansion might cause trouble behind the scenes, so in the end, he decided to bring Xiao Guai along as well.

Su Lan and Su Xin exchanged a glance and nodded.

Half an hour later, Fei Yanggu and Qing Yan sat in the carriage. She had no time to pay attention to the scenery outside, her mind was in turmoil.

"Father, is someone targeting our residence and the Fourth Prince?" Several names popped into Qingyan's mind, the first being the Empress Dowager. Fei Yanggu noticed that the palace attire and clothing were made by the Imperial Household Department, things that ordinary people couldn't obtain.

Fei Yanggu nodded. The women in the palace were getting restless again and would probably cause even more trouble.

“Once we arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, you kept crying, feeling wronged.” Fei Yanggu looked at Qingyan’s swollen eyes and felt sorry for her too.

He only stepped in to resolve the situation when Xiao Guai felt wronged.

"Father, who do you think did this?" Qingyan didn't care whether it would embarrass Kangxi or not; as long as someone was causing trouble behind the scenes, she wouldn't let them get away with it.

Fei Yanggu smiled coldly. There were only two or three people who could mobilize these people.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and Adun personally held Fei Yanggu's waist for the palace guards to inspect.

The guards exchanged glances. Lord Feiyangu had just left, so why was he back?

Emperor Kangxi also received the news and was slightly taken aback. Fei Yanggu had brought Qingyan over?

"Li Dequan, send someone to inform the Fourth Prince to come over." Kangxi, holding Lanya's hand, walked out of the warm pavilion of Yangxin Hall. He had a feeling that Fei Yanggu must have something on his mind.

At this moment, Consort Tong was also completely confused. Fei Yanggu had repeatedly ordered that Qingyan not be allowed to enter the palace for any extra time. Tomorrow was Yinzhi's wedding, and according to the rules, Qingyan was to enter the palace to offer his congratulations.

Fei Yanggu walked in with Qingyan. Su Lan and Su Xin were carrying trays covered with large brocade cloths. Kangxi was stunned. What was Fei Yanggu up to?

"Your Majesty, please have the servants in the hall withdraw!" Fei Yanggu did not want outsiders to know about this matter, and Qingyan had not wanted to wear these clothes in the first place.

The Ulanara family members were still well-behaved and obedient. He stepped forward and personally lifted the brocade cloth. Kangxi looked at the bright red palace dress on the tray and couldn't help but wonder how Fei Yanggu obtained this fabric. Even Consort Tong was not qualified to wear it!

"Feiyanggu, who gave this to Xiaoguai?" Kangxi could tell that the size of the clothes was probably too small. It seemed that someone was playing tricks behind the scenes. No wonder his face looked so ugly.

"Today, someone used a servant close to the Fourth Prince to deliver something to his residence. Qingyan thinks this is going too far!" Fei Yanggu did not name names, after all, royal affairs are too complicated.

Looking at the fabric in front of him, Kang felt a sense of powerlessness. The Empress Dowager really didn't intend to let Qingyan go. These phoenix and cloud brocades were not included in the allowances of the concubines except for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

"Feiyanggu, keep these clothes and jewelry here with me." Kangxi was somewhat embarrassed. It was already quite good that Feiyanggu hadn't made a scene; it would be strange if Feiyanggu wasn't angry at such blatant scheming against someone's daughter. (To be continued.
