After more than ten days of torrential rain, the sky finally cleared up.
Early in the morning, Qingyan was awakened by the crisp chirping of birds outside. Turning her head, she saw the sunlight shining through the gap in the tent curtains and immediately became awake.
"Sulan, is it sunny outside?" Qingyan asked in a soft, sweet voice.
"Yes, Princess, it's a sunny day today. I even saw a rainbow when I got up this morning." Su Lan was told by Yin Di that she was preparing to eliminate any disloyal people in the tent.
Today, the Fourth Prince will take Qingyan to Liangjia Village to transfer the princess away, so as not to leave any shadows in her heart.
"Hurry up and change my clothes," Qingyan said cheerfully.
These days, she was getting really irritated by being imprisoned by Yin. Finally, she could go outside and breathe some fresh air. Why not?
"Little darling, I'll take you out in a bit and you can change into some casual clothes!" Yin Zheng was sitting outside talking to Fei Yanggu and his two sons.
Eshuo and Saitochen had just returned to the camp. They had traveled day and night from the capital to bring the soldiers from the Xishan camp, also to prevent those who opposed the Qing and sought to restore the Ming from rioting.
With a joyful heart, she washed and dressed, wearing only two cloisonné butterfly hairpins in her hair, the butterfly wings still able to move.
"Ah Hun, you're back?" Qingyan looked at Eshuo and Saito sitting to her side, their faces full of smiles.
With Eshuo and Saito back, Feiyangu can finally feel more at ease.
The Shadows reported that of all the princes, only Yinzhi's side was in the most danger.
She noticed that Ama's previously stiff face relaxed, and a smile finally appeared in his eyes.
A few days ago, he was afraid she would worry, so he kept smiling, but the sorrow in his eyes was impossible to ignore.
After breakfast, Qingyan exchanged glances with the four men, and then Yin pulled her into the carriage for the trip. Saito followed along, while Feiyanggu and Eshuo stayed at the camp.
She sat in the carriage, bewildered, and saw that the person who had come to serve her was not Su Lan, but Su Xin.
She immediately realized that something must have happened within the area of the main tent.
"Fourth Brother, is there trouble?" Qingyan was very perceptive; there were many things she couldn't hide.
Otherwise, the trust between the two of them will become increasingly weak.
"Yes! Haven't you always wanted to go to Liangjia Village to see a play?" Yin didn't say much, and she wouldn't ask any more questions.
She understood that anything that required Fei Yanggu's personal involvement was no small matter.
"Little darling, stay close to me from now on!" Yin hugged her.
Today, he is preparing to venture out alone with Qingyan. News of his trip has been leaked long ago, and if those people dare to make a move, he wouldn't mind making sure they never return.
Qingyan tilted her head and looked at the unfamiliar guards through the car window.
Yin even replaced his personal guards. The menacing aura emanating from these men indicated that they were definitely soldiers under Shi Saituo's command.
"Little darling, we've been framed." Yin's secret service had been active for some time, and Suo'etu had been sending messages to Jiangnan, colluding with some locals.
Did Yin know?
Qingyan gripped Yin's large hand tightly in return. Was he heartbroken?
Faced with the power struggle, the bonds between brothers became fragile.
Today is a rare sunny day, and many women are washing clothes by the stream, while some small vendors are selling things nearby.
The market, which was originally scheduled for the 5th and 10th of each month, was also canceled due to the continuous heavy rain.
"Sisi, the market's open today, shall we go take a look?" Qingyan looked at the bustling scene on the country road and longed for freedom.
Pfft!
Looking at Qingyan's wet little eyes, Yin couldn't help but think of the little dog with the bloodline of the British Empire that he had specially found for Qingyan.
"Su Peisheng, stop the car, let's walk over!" Yin didn't want her to go to crowded places, but seeing Qingyan's pleading, he couldn't bear it.
A moment later, Qingyan was lifted off the carriage by Yin. After standing firmly, Qingyan saw the magnificent sight.
The path leading to Liangjia Village is lined with small stalls, some of which are for exchanging items for other things.
The carriage stopped at the entrance to the market. It was a rare occasion for the children to be brought out by adults. Some of the children, seeing the snacks, either cried loudly or begged their parents, trying every means to get some.
"What adorable clay figures!" Qingyan's gaze was drawn to an old man sculpting clay figures. In his hands, various colors of soft clay quickly transformed into endearing little animals.
Yin gave Su Peisheng a wink, then led Qingyan toward the stall.
Their appearance drew the attention of many people, and the gazes of two or three people made Yin nervous.
Qingyan, however, was completely oblivious; all her attention was drawn to the clay figure.
He didn't even notice the exclamation of the wonton vendor next to him because of Qingyan's appearance. Yin Dao thought the wonton vendor was strange, and his eyes were fixed on Saito and the others.
Yin felt uneasy, so he took Qingyan's little hand and went to see the clay figurines.
"Fourth Brother, I like this one, and this one too!" Qingyan's eyes lit up. There were many sculpted rabbit figurines on the clay figurine stall, which were Qingyan's favorite things. There were also several adorable Persian cat clay figurines. She was immediately attracted by these cute little creatures.
Yin glanced at the clay figurine vendor and, seeing that he seemed honest and kind, felt relieved.
"Take what you like, and pick a few for your mother!" Yin had specifically asked around and found out that there were quite a few Manchus living in the nearby villages. This time, Yin would not hide his Manchu identity.
"Alright!" Qingyan thought of Consort Tong and Lady Jue Luo, as these two rarely had the opportunity to go out.
