Wu Yanmeng took Qingyin's hand and was about to get into the palanquin to go back. The eunuchs were not surprised by the unfamiliar beggar children. With Li Gonggong's prior notice, they steadily lifted the two children up.
The mother of the Tenth Prince and the Twelfth Princess, Consort Yu, resided in the main hall of Changchun Palace. Children in the palace would only move away from their mothers and live in the princes' quarters or princesses' quarters once they turned six.
Wu Yanmeng is only five years old and doesn't need to move out of Changchun Palace yet. Originally, the Tenth Prince wouldn't have been able to abduct Wu Yanmeng today, but Consort Yu happened to be in the Imperial Garden admiring the flowers and wasn't there, so the Tenth Prince became bolder.
Changchun Palace was temporarily without its master, and the maids were unable to stop the Tenth Prince, who then took the little princess away.
Consort Yu was a stunningly beautiful woman with captivating looks. Along with Xiao Qingyan and the Tenth Prince, they were also strikingly beautiful young women and handsome young men.

Mentioning the Tenth Prince, the "filial son" she had given birth to, Consort Yu was furious. "It's all your tenth brother's fault! You're still so young, and he didn't even tell me or your father before taking you out of the palace! What would your mother have done if something had happened to you! Humph, with your tenth brother like that, if your father doesn't punish him, I'll personally give him a beating!"
Seeing her mother's angry expression, Wu Yanmeng secretly glanced at her mother's face and dared not speak.
Tenth Brother, you'd better pray for your own good fortune.
The clever little girl didn't mention her brother's foolish deeds again, and presented Qingyin to Consort Yu as a gift.
