On the first day, everyone was in high spirits. Fei Yanggu disbanded all the guards he had brought, and apart from those protecting the two of them, the rest were all devoted to the disaster relief activities.
The women's faces no longer wore bitter smiles, but were instead filled with excitement.
"Su Lan... It's so noisy!" Qing Yan slept in the main tent protected by the guards. The curtains on all four sides were drawn. In a corner, Qing Yan placed several ice crystals produced by the space, making the tent feel like it was air-conditioned.
The Buddhist prayer beads that Yin had injured had also been tampered with by Qingyan. She replaced all six spacer beads with ice crystals of the same color. So far, Yin has not discovered that she has tampered with the beads.
Everyone was being exposed to the scorching sun, while Qingyan lay on the soft blanket, her two small, white feet twirling back and forth in the air.
After taking a bath, Yin walked in and saw Qingyan with her eyes closed, her little hands waving in the air, and her little feet kicking restlessly in the air.
"Little darling, it's time to get up!" Yin sat down beside him and changed into the ice silk casual clothes prepared by Qingyan, feeling much cooler.
"Go drink some water!" She opened her sleepy eyes and saw Yin's figure appear in front of her. Qingyan couldn't help but pout. He was really unbearable.
*Snap*
He slapped her bottom with his warm, large hand, and she froze instantly. Her large, almond-shaped eyes were no longer confused.
"Fourth Brother, you're disgusting!" Qingyan didn't feel any pain, but she bit the corner of the blanket in shame and indignation, and said unclearly.
Yin drank the water that had been placed on the ice crystal table and couldn't help but feel a little strange; the water was really cold.
"Little darling, can this little table be taken to the palace as part of your dowry?" Yin smiled bitterly in both his lives. The few years he spent in the Ulanara mansion made him feel less miserable, largely because of the ice crystals from the space that Qingyan sent out.
"No!" Qingyan pouted, her face full of reluctance. Yin had actually hit her.
You stinky bastard! I'll make you die of heat!
Yin sat on the bed, reached out and pulled her little face out from under the covers, kissed her pink little mouth, and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Qingyan blinked and glared at him angrily.
“The ice in the palace is all allocated, and the two of us can’t get much. Every time, I use my mother’s.” Everyone knows about Yin’s suffering from summer heat, and Kangxi often approves a lot of ice.
In his previous life, after Consort Tong passed away, his first summer was not easy, and Emperor Kangxi secretly helped him a lot.
Qingyan pouted her little lips and stared straight at him.
“It’s fine if we don’t need it. Doesn’t every prince’s residence have well water?” Qingyan looked at Mou Si, who only knew how to bring things into his own home.
Pfft!
Yin burst out laughing. Little Guai was so adorable, actually thinking of that well in the palace.
"The water in there is for the servants in the prince's quarters. You're really funny." Yin shook his head helplessly.
"Fine, if you want it, you can have it. What's the situation outside?" Qingyan was woken up by the shouts outside. It was not even seven o'clock yet, and those people had already started working.
Wow...so early!
Qingyan felt very frustrated. She had been exhausted for so many days, yet she couldn't even get a good night's sleep.
"You!" Yin poked her forehead. "It's time to get up. Those women made garlic porridge according to your method, and let me tell you, it really doesn't taste very good!"
Yin reluctantly ate a bowl, but the taste was not quite the same as the one Qingyan had made herself.
"I will prepare separate meals for the four of you for lunch and dinner!" Yin doesn't like greasy food when he's suffering from summer heat.
The disaster victims were different; even though they were in their hometowns, the food they ate here at Qingyan was not as oily or juicy as what they were used to.
"Really?!" Yin's eyes lit up. He had two guards with him, who were now certain that they were Kangxi's men. They reported Yin's actions verbatim.
Seeing that no one was in the tent, Qingyan took Yin's hand and walked into the space, where the screen was showing the situation in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Consort Tong sat beside Emperor Kangxi as usual. In Kangxi's hand was news of Yinzhi, all of which were the freshest reports from the Imperial Guards.
Qingyan took two ice creams from the refrigerator and handed them to Yin with a wide mouth.
"This is..." Yin's eyes widened. This was much better than the simplified version that Qingyan had the small kitchen make.
"Hehe, the latest ice cream, it's much more advanced than ours!" Qingyan no longer hid the advanced features of the space from Yin. He was very tight-lipped and would never let Qingyan suffer for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.
"You're not allowed to take this outside, understand?" Yin was terrified as he watched Qingyan take out the item.
Right now, he has no way to protect Qingyan, so he can only resort to the most basic method: keeping a close watch on her to ensure that nothing happens to her.
"Okay~" Qingyan nodded obediently. The two of them sat on the sofa, watching Kangxi with his brows furrowed.
Qingyan's heart immediately tightened; Yin's actions probably did not please Kangxi.
"Little darling, do you think Father Emperor will understand me?" Many things in Qingyan's booklet are too advanced for his time. Will Emperor Kangxi agree with them?
Qingyan shook her little head, unsure, and saw that Kangxi's expression was somewhat uncertain.
She picked up the remote control, pressed the volume button, and the sound of the Hall of Mental Cultivation came from the speakers.
"Xuan Ye, is Yin's situation not good?" Consort Tong's heart sank as she looked at the secret reports that Kangxi had submitted early that morning regarding the princes.
Yin was quick-witted and often did things that surprised people.
"Hehe, Xiao Si's approach is too unconventional. It's hard to say whether it will work for now. If it succeeds, it will save the Ministry of Revenue a lot of money. If it fails, I can clean up the mess for him!" Kangxi looked at Qingyan and Yin's approach and thought that the two little ones had excellent ideas.
Qingyan was relieved; Kangxi's words completely dispelled her worries.
"Fourth Brother, we passed the test!" Qingyan looked at him with a smile.
With Kangxi handling the aftermath, they boldly moved forward.
"No money for support?" Consort Tong exclaimed in surprise as she read the words in the memorial.
Qingyan understood that Yin wanted to take a completely different approach, using all the disaster relief funds on the victims. They had become lazy and would need a year or two to recover after returning to their hometowns. During this time, the fertile land would be exempt from water tax. With so many disaster-stricken areas, it had truly caused considerable suffering in many places.
"Little darling, Father will probably use this place as a testing ground for his actions!" Yin smiled wryly. Kangxi was, after all, an emperor. His novel approach would attract the attention of several princes. If his prediction was correct, he would soon be able to wait for one of his uncles to arrive.
"Really?" Qingyan leaned on his shoulder, looking bewildered.
Emperor Kangxi placed the memorial in the hands of Consort Tong. The Crown Prince and the other two princes' actions in disaster relief were all rather conventional, far inferior to those of Yinzhen.
