Everyone present was frightened by the audacious maid, but Qingyan found it amusing and clapped her hands.

Many people are watching the Fourth Prince's wife's next move. Ever since the Fourth Prince's wedding, they have been trying to plant spies around him, but each time they have failed. This girl in front of them is their last hope.

Many people wanted to step forward to help, but Qingyan glanced at those who were about to step forward and secretly remembered them. A loyal servant would not defend his close female friend when his master was in a bad mood.

Everyone looks out for themselves!

Qingyan's watery eyes flashed, and she walked directly to Huiyin's side.

"Those few who raised their heads are all problematic!" Qingyan said casually, and walked directly towards the imperial tent.

Yin smiled; Qingyan's probing was indeed effective.

The nearby guards also heard about the young palace maid's resistance and couldn't help but laugh at her overestimating herself. The Fourth Prince Consort was a favorite of Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong. From a lowly woman to a prince consort, the favor she received was not diminished by the change in her status.

"My little darling, it's time for dinner soon." Consort Tong called Qingyan to the inner tent.

At this moment, Songkelierha had already woken up, and she waved her little paws, wanting Qingyan to hold her.

"Yierha, we're going to have dinner soon!" Qingyan put the little girl on her lap and scooped out apple puree for her spoonful by spoonful.

The little girl was eating apple puree, her little mouth pursed tightly.

Yin Genjue Luo laughed. The little guy loves Qingyan the most. As long as Qingyan is there, the little guy will never look at anyone else. They have tried this trick many times.

"Wok, I want to eat bean paste!" Songkriyirha waved her little hand, making a request to Qingyan.

"Mother, we've found all the people, but I can't be sure if they are really who they are!" Qingyan said helplessly.

Now, she is somewhat afraid to use servants anymore, fearing that these people might cause some trouble again.

Consort Tong smiled knowingly. Little Guai was being overly suspicious. These servants needed to be guarded against, but also trusted.

A single tree cannot support a forest! This is an ancient proverb.

"Sister-in-law, the vast majority of the servants are trustworthy, and only a very small number have been bribed." Every household has one or two capable servants, and neither she nor Qingyan wants any more mishaps to occur in the Imperial Household Department.

Qingyan gave an awkward smile, pausing his hand movements for a moment. Songkelierha, not understanding the adult's ulterior motives, rubbed her little paws against the refusing big hand. Qingyan looked down at the little girl and continued feeding her.

"Sister-in-law, are the servants in your residence also like this?" Qingyan noticed that Yin's residence was the most peaceful, which made her very curious.

Yin Genjue Luo nodded. The servants were not at all at ease. The concubines around Yin were even more restless. Some of them began to collude with the servants of the Imperial Household Department. Songkelierha was also often plotted against. Yin Genjue Luo was able to grow up safely only because she was very careful. Didn't the two sons of the secondary consort also die young?

At first, Yin thought it was the work of Lady Yingenjueluo. After a careful investigation, he discovered that the concubine had long been in contact with the family. The drugs that caused the children to die were prepared by the servants of the Imperial Household Department. Yin learned the cause of death of his two young sons, so he carefully protected Songkelierha. She was almost tricked by those servants when she gave birth.

Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Qingyan felt a chill run down her spine. Everything they ate was prepared by the servants. Their health was firmly in the hands of those servants in the Imperial Household Department.

"Mother, the head of the Imperial Household Department in charge of procurement..." Qingyan was worried that they might have all been caught in the trap.

"It was His Majesty who sent them!" Consort Tong couldn't help but chuckle as she heard Qingyan's voice grow softer and softer.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.

The three people present all understood that Qingyan rarely dealt with these matters. The servants in the backyard were managed by Sulan and Suxin. After returning to the capital, Qingyan knew that he would definitely have to reorganize things again. Suxin could not return, and the servants under her command would become restless. Without a strong measure to suppress them, the mansion would be in chaos.

"Yierha, let's not eat now. There will be dinner later. I'll have Sulan make you mashed potatoes!" Qingyan's mashed potatoes are loved by both the young and old. The Empress Dowager often asks her to bring mashed potatoes with her when she goes to pay her respects.

Many of the palace concubines said that Qingyan, in order to please the Empress Dowager, disregarded his own status and did frightening things.

"Okay!" Songkriyirha pursed her lips and nudged Qingyan's hand.

After putting down the apple, the sound of a teacup being smashed came from outside. Qingyan was about to get up when the weight on her legs made her hesitate. What happened to Sisi again?

"Sit down, both of you!" Consort Tong gave the order coldly, noticing the unpleasant expressions on her two daughters-in-law's faces.

Qingyan was a little anxious. She and Yin had entered one after the other, and it was very likely that the teacup was smashed on Yin.

"Yes!" The two sisters-in-law exchanged a worried glance, noticing the concern in each other's eyes.

Songkrijerha seemed to sense the adults' worry, and his smiling face fell.

The bottom of the tent flap was lifted, and a small white figure appeared in everyone's view, its icy blue eyes fixed on Qingyan.

"Wok, it's a little white kitten!" Songkriyirha exclaimed happily as he looked at the little white kitten.

Qingyan was stunned when she saw Xiaobai appear. Didn't this little guy go into the dense forest?

"Yierha, this isn't a little white kitten, it's a white tiger!" Qingyan waved to Xiaobai, who happily hopped to Qingyan's feet, stretching out his short little arms.

Out of the corner of her eye, Qingyan noticed that not only did Yingenjueluo have it, but she was also calmly watching Yierha try to touch the white tiger.

The situation is a bit strange. Qingyan was forbidden from raising wild beasts since childhood, so now, Yingenjueluo's behavior is somewhat abnormal.

"Yierha, do you like Xiaobai?" Consort Tong looked at her granddaughter with a smile. Noble ladies of the Eight Banners were not allowed to raise pets; they had to participate in the imperial concubine selection.

Songkrilha, however, was different; she was born a favored daughter of heaven.

"I like it!" She stretched out her small, delicate hand, touched the smooth fur, and smiled, her lips curving into a beautiful smile.

Qingyan lifted Xiaobai from the ground and placed it on Songkelierha's lap. Xiaobai lay there lazily, its eyes half-closed, enjoying Qingyan's caresses. It felt wonderful.

"Wok, will I ever see Xiaobai again?" Songkriyirha looked up at Qingyan.

Qingyan nodded. In the palace, there are too few companions to accompany Songkelierha. It would be good if Xiaobai could grow up with her.

"Great!" Songkrilha exclaimed.

The innocent smile on Songkrilha's face saddened the adults. The little guy should have been growing up carefree, but because he was born into an imperial family, he was constantly being schemed against. (To be continued.
