At lunchtime, Yin led the weary Qingyan back to the princes' quarters, where the princes were considered to have served their sentences.
Upon entering the gate of the prince's residence, Xiao Guai suddenly clung to Yin's back.
"Fourth Brother, I'm tired, let me take you inside!" Qingyan said coquettishly.
She hadn't stood in flowerpot shoes for so long in a long time, and she was a little worried that her two little feet might turn into two little pig trotters!
"Pfft, alright, alright, I'll carry you on my back right now!" Yin bent down and carried her, then strode into the study with brisk steps.
"I'm hungry!" She was placed on the soft couch, pouting her pink little mouth like a little kitten waiting to be fed. "Su Peisheng, I want seafood hot pot, dry pot duck head, cold bitter chrysanthemum salad, and sesame sauce andrographis paniculata. Also, make a preserved egg tofu dish. Rice is the only staple food; no steamed buns allowed."
Su Peisheng stood at the door, watching Qingyan act as if she was in charge. He couldn't help but look at his master; Qingyan rarely ate such a complete meal.
"Go on, and bring another can of plum juice!" Yin poked her forehead.
Considering that she only visits the palace occasionally, we will grant her wish.
At this time, very little fresh seafood is being transported into the city; nearly 90% of what is delivered is going to the palace. If Xiao Guai wants to eat seafood, it's all from the estate.
"Fourth Brother is the best! I haven't been eating much lately!" Qingyan wrapped her left arm around Yin's neck, pressed his head down, and kissed him hard twice.
"You also worked hard during the disaster relief!" Yin had to admit that what Kangxi said—that none of them could compare to Xiao Guai—was absolutely true.
Emperor Kangxi mobilized all of them for this disaster relief effort, which was also for their own good.
The royal teachings are somewhat detached from reality, so it's good to have the opportunity to experience the outside world.
"Fourth Sister, do you think that one will still jump around?" Qingyan's temper flared up. Putting everything else aside, Dong Eshi's recent troubles had given her a headache.
"No more!" Yin shook his head. His father would not allow Dong E to cause any more trouble.
Recently, things haven't been peaceful on the grasslands. That man allowed his illegitimate daughter to get close to Yinzhi, probably because he wanted to gain Yinzhi's support for the grasslands and send firearms to the tribes. He believed that would make that man even happier.
"Fourth Brother, do those people want the weapons from the Firearms Battalion?" Yin's eyes changed slightly, and Qingyan immediately knew where the problem lay.
"Yes, they haven't figured out who's in charge of this thing yet. If they find out it's Eshuo and Saito, then things will slowly start targeting you." Yin was very worried about her safety.
She smiled slightly; she really didn't take the actions of those Mongolian brutes seriously.
During her two trips to the grasslands, those princes flocked to her side. What abilities could they possibly have besides their noble status?
"Hmph, they can only get it by relying on nepotism and making a deal with His Majesty, right?" Qingyan said with some disdain.
Yin shook his head helplessly. They had been spoiled by the Empress Dowager, and no one wanted to pay money to get it.
The firearms they sold were mostly discarded weapons from the firearms battalion; none of the truly cutting-edge weapons were ever circulated.
"So, they've set their sights on me?" Qingyan asked, annoyed.
Ever since meeting the princes of Mongolia, her life has been anything but peaceful. Even Feiyangu said that she seemed to have encountered a curse, as she was always being harassed by people.
"Could it be that you're having too much luck with women?" As soon as Qingyan finished speaking, Yin pinched her little face and kissed her little lips hard.
"Don't talk about yourself like that!" Yin was in a bad mood, even though the little guy was telling the truth.
Qingyan chuckled to herself; Yin's jealous look was just too funny.
no!
She went from chuckling to rolling around on the soft couch, clutching her belly. How could Si Si be so adorable?
"Haha, Sisi, your expression is so jealous!" Qingyan laughed heartily.
Yin's face immediately darkened; this girl was unreliable.
"Shut up!" Yin shoved her little paws off, stood up straight, crossed his arms, and stared at her coldly.
In an instant, she sensed a change in the aura surrounding Yin. The little guy immediately concealed his smile; if she hadn't been trembling her little shoulders, the effect would have been even better.
"Fourth Brother, I'm not laughing at you!" Qingyan said seriously, her almond-shaped eyes full of laughter.
Yin made her kneel on the soft couch with her legs spread apart, and the two of them touched forehead to forehead.
"Little guy, do you find it funny?" Yin's phoenix eyes were filled with anger and embarrassment.
She noticed he was angry, and quickly shook her head, saying, "How could that be!"
"No?!" Yin's lips curled up slightly, and that dangerous smile made her alert.
"Fourth Brother!" Qingyan called out obsequiously, "I'm not laughing at you, that person isn't worth your jealousy at all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyan nodded instinctively, convinced that what he said was definitely right, and that Sisi was just being too concerned.
"My little darling!" Yin called out helplessly.
He simply couldn't get angry when she acted cute.
Qingyan quickly changed to a more comfortable position, resting her little head on his chest.
"Wouldn't it be better if we just lived a peaceful life like this? That old lady just can't stand our easy life. She says one thing and then it's over, but we're not involved anymore. We're going to be attacked by several princes and their people!" Qingyan felt disgusted when she thought of the Empress Dowager's words.
"Don't overthink it, this isn't something we need to worry about!" Yin didn't care; he was fully capable of protecting Qingyan, and he had great confidence in himself.
She leaned on his shoulder, looking out the window at the scenery.
"Don't you think it's quiet?" Qingyan came to the Prince's residence, while the Third Prince's residence next door was always full of drama. Dong Eshi didn't treat her concubines well at all, and some of them even took advantage of Yinzhi's presence to constantly cause trouble for Dong Eshi.
Now, the courtyard is quiet, devoid of its former liveliness.
This is so unusual!
She scratched her curly hair, looking completely bewildered.
To complement Yin's naturally curly hair, Qingyan put in a lot of effort. Every time she went to sleep, she would use homemade curlers to tie it up, so that when she woke up in the morning, her hair would have the most popular Korean-style airy bangs.
Yin kissed her little face. He knew very well what the little one was doing in secret. People outside were laughing at their hair, but they didn't know that Qingyan was doing it on purpose.
"Fourth, it's so quiet!" Qingyan poked his cheek with her puffed-out little face. "Give me a smile!"
So, how was she supposed to adapt to the peace and tranquility the prince provided, without the drama unfolding around him?
"I bought you some storybooks, okay?" Yin didn't expose Qingyan's boredom, but instead encouraged her. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
