Later that evening, Yin rode swiftly to the new residence, his mind racing with thoughts of her possible reactions.

When they faced each other, Yin realized that Qingyan had suppressed his resentment from that day.

The betrothal gifts are a sign of respect from the groom to the bride.

The servants of the Imperial Household Department tampered with the betrothal gifts. They had originally planned to send them over in a grand and auspicious manner on an auspicious day, but during the preparation process, they kept telling Qingyan that something was missing.

"Sisi, go buy some silk thread in a bit!" Qingyan didn't say much, but once he had everything he needed, he felt relieved.

Yin was a little stunned. Xiao Guai didn't complain. Instead, she asked someone to help him wash and dress.

He nodded and turned to go to the bathroom.

After Yin's figure disappeared, Qingyan's lips curled up slightly.

Originally, she wanted Fei Yanggu to vent her anger, but now she could use another method.

Yin quickly washed up, changed into the blue robe prepared by Qingyan, tied a yellow belt around his waist, and left the mansion with her.

In the carriage, Xiao Guai slowly sipped her iced tea, her anger mostly dissipating.

"Fourth Sister, I'm going to buy the betrothal gifts myself!" There are merchants from the Ulanara mansion who travel by sea, and the gems she has are no less valuable than those obtained from the manufacturing workshop.

Linlang Pavilion was one of the top jewelry shops in the capital, and she really looked down on the jewelry sent by the Imperial Household Department.

"Little Darling, you..." Yin was speechless at her words. How could he let Little Darling buy the betrothal gifts herself? If his brothers found out, they would definitely laugh at him.

snort!

Qingyan turned her little head to the side. Those servants were not keeping to their duties. These past two days, when they delivered the necessities, they were all very arrogant. She asked Suxin to go to the Tatara clan to inquire, and it turned out that those servants were even more outrageous.

After all, the Fiyanggu and the head of the Tatara clan were of very different ranks, and the servants of the Imperial Household Department basically fawned on the powerful and bullied the weak, making life very difficult for the Tatara clan.

"Fourth Brother, you know those people who were causing trouble have changed their tune. They actually dare to cause trouble in front of me!" Qingyan was furious. Someone had crossed the line. "It's not that I'm incapable of preparing things. Why should I have to put up with those people's attitudes?"

From birth, she was hailed as a lucky star. Over the years, the Emperor Kangxi's doting and the protection of Fei Yanggu and others have allowed Qingyan to have a smooth life. Now, however, she is being trampled on by some unscrupulous servants. It would be a miracle if she could feel at peace with herself.

"Little Darling..." Yin quickly pulled her into his arms. "I'll pay for all of this. Later, we'll go to Linglang Pavilion to choose a few exquisite headdresses as betrothal gifts. Didn't you send all of yours to Yangxin Hall?"

Yin was secretly annoyed. The crude jewelry in the mahogany box in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was all from several years ago. In addition, it had been stored in the warehouse for a long time, so it was definitely not as bright and shiny as it was when it was made.

She prefers lightweight items, so she definitely wouldn't like those fancy styles.

"Sisi," Qingyan said, looking directly at the top of the carriage, "Are you angry?"

Qingyan was furious with those servants, which is why she had the things sent back directly. She shouldn't have been so unruly.

After calming down, Qingyan felt a little scared.

Yin glanced at the little girl with a cold look, and her obedient appearance softened his heart.

"Little darling, you did the right thing!" Yin heard Kangxi ask Li Dequan to personally oversee the matter, probably to secretly find out about the dowries of the several princesses. "As long as they are not bullied, that's good. If they go too far, I will support them from behind."

Yin was very satisfied with Qingyan's demeanor. Following the traces of his previous life, after entering the court, he spent more and more time on official business and could not always be by her side. Someone as insecure as Tara would have been bullied to death in the princes' quarters.

"Actually, Fifth Princess Consort also wants to make trouble. Her father is not like a father at all!" Qingyan was very satisfied with Fei Yanggu's protection of her. Sometimes, she would watch Fei Yanggu select exquisite items from the old house and stuff them all into her dowry.

My heart aches a little. Eshuo and Saito always say that they can fight for their own future. A girl's greatest confidence in her life is a generous dowry.

Yin sighed, realizing that he was indeed of a higher status than Yinqi.

Emperor Kangxi respected the Empress Dowager, but ultimately, Consort Tong was more favored by him. In addition, Consort Yi's affection for Yinqi was not as great as Yinqi's.

"From now on, you should help her out." Yin had helped his younger brothers quite a bit, and the servants in the Imperial Household Department had been disciplined by Consort Tong before they dared not withhold anything from Yin. Now, they wanted to use the same trick again.

The two were still talking when the carriage suddenly stopped, and Qingyan's small body lurched forward slightly.

"Little darling, it's alright, it's nothing!" Yin heard the commotion in front of the carriage and squinted his eyes. "Go hide behind the screen."

Yin was certain that someone was causing trouble.

The journey from the new residence to Linglang Pavilion involves passing through the streets where Han officials live. He secretly calculated the time and figured he should have arrived at that intersection by now.

What are those people crying and shouting outside trying to do?

Qingyan sat nervously behind the balance beam, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Peering nervously through the gap in the screen, he watched the carriage curtain.

Whoosh!

The carriage curtain was lowered, and the people on both sides saw Yin sitting upright in the carriage.

They all stared at the person in the carriage. The troublemaker was stunned. Didn't the instigator say that it was a princess?

How did he become a yellow-striped old man?!

"Su Peisheng, take these people with you and return to the palace immediately!" Having lived two lives, Yin saw the surprise in the eyes of the person pulling the carriage curtain and understood who they were after this time.

Su Peisheng quickly hung up the carriage curtain. Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Yin, he hurriedly ordered the guards to surround the carriage and head towards the palace.

Behind the screen, Qingyan was trembling with anger.

In the eyes of Han officials, the princes' wives cared more about their reputation. If they were to be harassed by scoundrels in the bustling city center, their reputation would certainly be damaged, and they might even be jilted by Emperor Kangxi.

This vicious act made Qingyan tremble slightly with anger.

"Little darling, let's go back to the palace and talk about it!" Yin stepped over the screen and saw Qingyan sitting there with a pale face. He held her tenderly.

He felt guilty; if he hadn't been so focused on talking, he would have noticed something was wrong much earlier.

"Fourth Sister, do they hate me that much!" Qingyan was terrified by the repeated conspiracies. Why couldn't those people just behave themselves?

Yin stroked Xiao Guai's little face, secretly pondering how to calm Xiao Guai down.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Fei Yanggu arrived before Emperor Kangxi early and began to talk about how the people of the Imperial Household Department treated Qingyan. His words were clearly directed at Emperor Kangxi.

"Feiyanggu, shut up!" Kangxi felt a headache coming on; he really needed to appease him properly.

"Your Majesty, my little darling has been wronged, can't I even seek justice for her?" Fei Yanggu was furious.

While the two were talking, the servants who had returned to the palace early quietly recounted what had happened to Yin and Qingyan. Both fathers' faces darkened. (To be continued.
