Qingyan ate melon seeds and watched the drama unfold below, feeling rather bored.
The script for that plum blossom hairpin play should be promoted properly; it says you can't sing songs, but you can't act in it!
Yay!
Qingyan's eyes lit up as she thought of another way to make money.
After a short while, Fei Yanggu and the others ran out of patience and ordered the guards to throw the father and son outside.
After having dinner and returning home, Qingyan paced around her room several times before deciding to go to her father to discuss changing the dining environment at the Yuelai Inn.
Thanks to today's events, Yuelai Inn's business has improved significantly.
"Father~" Qingyan's voice came into the study first. Fei Yanggu rubbed his temples, wondering what the little girl wanted to say.
"Come in!" Fei Yanggu and his two sons were discussing how to deal with the Censorate's impeachment the next day.
Qingyan's smile faded as she looked at the three people who looked unwell.
Feiyangu beckoned to his beloved daughter, who ran over and sat down next to her father.
"Little one, what mischievous idea have you come up with this time?" E Shuo looked at her. On the way back, Qing Yan hadn't said a word!
"Hehe... Ah Hun, what do you think? Wouldn't it be more appealing if we rehearsed a comedy and performed it on a big stage?" Of the three of them, E Shuo was the most business-savvy. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice at Qing Yan's suggestion.
Qingyan's actions directly countered the censors' accusations.
"There's a script?" E Shuo knew they had to get started as soon as possible, otherwise they would definitely be accused of deceiving the emperor.
"Of course, it's already been arranged." Qingyan nodded. "Father, tomorrow you can say that we hired actors to perform on a large stage to test the waters."
The young woman who sings songs and the female lead who performs opera are two different things. One is despised by the laws of the Qing Dynasty, while the other is protected by them.
Fei Yanggu's eyes lit up. His daughter was truly a treasure, and now their actions made perfect sense.
“Alright, little darling, go ahead and do it. Your father will pave the way for you!” Fei Yanggu smiled. Originally, he had prepared some memorials to apologize and take all the blame upon himself.
Xiao Guai's action made him stop thinking.
"Father still needs to write a secret report to tell His Majesty in detail. The rest is just the official explanation!" Qingyan was instructed by the nannies three times a day, and finally did not disappoint everyone's expectations.
"Good!" Fei Yanggu nodded in satisfaction. The little guy's ideas were not wrong, and he had become much more tactful in his actions.
After Qingyan finished speaking, the huge weight in her heart was lifted, and she happily prepared to go to sleep.
At 3:45 AM, Qingyan woke up, a rare occurrence. She took a small mirror and hid under the covers to watch the morning court proceedings at the Qianqing Palace.
As they had expected, the other censors of the Censorate used this incident as an excuse to impeach Fei Yanggu and others. Qingyan kept all the censors who came out to impeach them firmly in mind.
Eshuo and Saito quickly looked up and saw Kangxi watching with great interest how Feiyanggu was explaining. This was a rare sight indeed, as Feiyanggu was almost speechless.
"Father, I have something to say!" Yin stepped out from the ranks. He had heard from Lady Yingenjueluo that the woman was after him.
We can't let Feiyanggu take the blame; it would be best if we could make Suo'etu someone the Emperor would want to keep an eye on.
"Speak!" Kangxi had his shadow guards investigate the woman's identity, and the woman's identity was so conspicuous that he couldn't help but suspect something was amiss.
“Yesterday, I was also present. That woman wasn’t brought by Lady Ulanara. My father-in-law celebrated his sixtieth birthday yesterday, and I remembered that Father Emperor had instructed me to be respectful to him. I took my wife to the Yuelai Inn for a meal…”
Yin briefly described the situation at the time, and also mentioned the woman's large expression after the red ribbon appeared.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi's eyes became deep. Qingyan lay on his pillow and couldn't help but light a candle for the censors.
Who can scheme against a prince?
She was angry and confused. Emperor Kangxi loved his children very much, but in history, he personally imprisoned his eldest son and the crown prince.
These two were both raised by Emperor Kangxi. The eldest prince, Yinzhi, was promoted from the first prince to the esteemed Grand Prince by Kangxi, and the crown prince was even more high and mighty.
right!
Those two words popped into her mind: "I really don't understand the world of men."
After watching the dramatic scene in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a while, I couldn't help but yawn out of boredom and went back to sleep.
"Princess..." Qingyan hadn't slept for long before Sulan woke her up. She opened her dazed eyes and looked at Sulan, wondering what was wrong this time.
"Sulan, if you have something to say, say it quickly, I want to sleep~" Qingyan yawned, looking very unwilling.
"The Lady Consort is here! You'd better get up!" Even though Lady Jue Luo was still some distance away, the steward quickly sent someone to announce her arrival.
In an instant, Qingyan regained consciousness.
"Mother's here?!" Fei Yanggu and his two sons weren't home, so why would Jue Luo come over to do knitting?
"Yes."
"Quick, change my clothes, and then get me something to eat!" Qingyan threw off the covers and stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet.
Her little face was almost wrinkled up like a little bun; Jue Luo's visit to the new residence was definitely not a good thing.
After quickly finishing his breakfast, Qingyan sat properly in the study, looking at the scriptures in his hands.
Fei Yanggu pointed out that it was best to act convincingly.
Granny Liao smiled quietly. The princess was afraid of the primary wife. Every time the primary wife came, the princess would quickly pretend to be dignified.
When Jue Luo entered the study, Qing Yan put down the Buddhist scriptures in his hand and quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.
After she got up, she found that Qingya was beside Jueluo Shi and did not even pay her respects to her, the legitimate daughter of a princess.
"Mother, what brings you here today?" Qingyan directed Sulan and the others to serve tea, looking at the person in front of her with a puzzled expression.
"I want your father to talk to the clan and register Qingya under my name!" Jue Luo Shi felt that Qingya was going to marry into Mongolia and would be better taken care of as the legitimate daughter.
"Mother, what did you say?" Qingyan's eyes widened. "When His Majesty issued the decree to bestow a marriage upon me, the decree clearly stated that I was the eldest daughter of Ulanara Feiyanggu! You want Qingya to marry the Fourth Prince?"
Jue Luo was stunned; she really didn't know.
"Qingya, did you bring this up?" Qingyan looked at Qingya coldly, how dare a concubine's daughter scheme against her.
"Qingyan, no!" Qingya never expected Qingyan to react this way.
Originally, Qingya saw Qingyan looking dazed and thought that after she became the eldest legitimate daughter, she would use this identity to force Feiyanggu to marry her off to the Fourth Prince and send Qingyan to Mongolia for a political marriage.
"No? Are you planning to have your entire family buried with you? The imperial edict didn't mention my given name, but it did include my detailed birth date and time. Do you think someone else could do it? Sister Qingya!" Qingyan directly exposed Qingya's lie. "Or have you already discussed it with the Empress Dowager, and she can back you up?" (To be continued.
