Lady Li was only punished by copying scriptures, which was clearly a light punishment. She was in a bad mood, and Yin also felt that His Majesty was showing favoritism.
"Fourth Prince, he thinks copying scriptures is enough? Mother suffered such a great injustice, and Father Emperor didn't say a word!" Qingyan felt it wasn't worth it.
This is the royal family!
Yin only murmured these five words in his heart; he had already witnessed even more brutal struggles.
“Copying scriptures has already humiliated the Crown Prince. Father Emperor is not in the capital. Making things difficult for him now will make Suo'etu disloyal,” Yin whispered to Qingyan.
Consort Tong was humiliated by the Crown Prince, and Yinzhen and he were probably resented by the Crown Prince.
"Huh?!" Qingyan was stunned. Copying scriptures was already a loss of face. If she was locked in the Buddhist hall like the other women, wouldn't that cause an uproar?
Yin pinched her little nose. After waking up, she was still lying lazily on the pillow. The scent of ambergris on his body lingered around her nose, completely calming her troubled heart.
"Sisi, how many more days until we arrive in Hangzhou?" Qingyan was a little confused, having slept from morning until almost afternoon.
"Father Emperor has requested that the journey be slowed down, and it will probably take about half a month to arrive!" Yin knew that Kangxi had postponed his meeting with Cao Yin.
"Half a month!" Qingyan's voice rose eight octaves. Half a month would be very boring.
"Little darling, we will stop for two days every three days!" Kangxi probably discovered some drawbacks in the small county town and wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the people's sentiments.
real?!
Qingyan's drowsiness disappeared. Every two or three days, he needed to eat some more. Many of the stops were in small places that even modern people had never heard of!
"Fourth Prince, what do you want for dinner?" Qingyan pursed her lips. The only surviving imperial chef had been sent to the Crown Prince's ship.
This will prevent Xiao Shunzi from disturbing Qingyan in the middle of the night.
"Hot pot!" Yin replied with a smile.
During the two days he was on the ship, he tried his best to finish his work so that he could spend time with Qingyan again when the ship docked.
She waved her little fists and started rolling around, but he blocked her from rolling off the soft couch.
“Every day, your two small fishing nets can catch something.” Yin had to admit that the things Qingyan prepared, though seemingly useless, would be very useful when trouble came. “However, we can’t use fish slices anymore. Father and my elder brother both asked for boiled fish, so there definitely won’t be enough catfish.”
Yin was very disappointed, because the things they had retrieved would have to be divided among several people. Fortunately, the Crown Prince did not want anything, otherwise, they would have been eating beef and mutton today.
"Hmph!" Qingyan snorted coldly, "I'll give it to Father Emperor and the First Prince if they want it, but I won't give it to the Fourth Prince or the Crown Prince!"
She emphasized the last three words when she spoke, and why should she give what she had captured with her tools to those who were cursing her?
She was determined not to do anything thankless, lest she be taken advantage of and have to put on a smiling face later.
Yin smiled. He couldn't make the decision for Qingyan. The Crown Prince had come to ask for something, and he certainly couldn't refuse.
"Hmph, you're making excuses. I don't want to see those two people before we get to Jiangnan!" Qingyan was being willful. Since childhood, no one who offended her had ever had a good ending.
Xiao Guai knew that the Crown Prince's fate would be tragic, but now she had to have her dignity trampled on and still maintain a smile, which gave her a headache and made her even more distressed.
"Good!" Yin was very confident about this. He would explain it to his father and reduce the chances of Li Jiashi meeting Qingyan.
Qingyan nodded, turned over, and went back to sleep.
As dinner time approached, Su Peisheng invited Fei Yanggu and his two sons, who were not on duty that day.
"Father!" Qingyan called out softly, her little face flushed, her eyes not very clear, clearly she had just gotten up.
Feiyangu opened his arms and embraced the little one.
"Little darling, what's wrong?" Qingyan was in a bad mood. He turned his head and saw that the table was full of Qingyan's favorite foods, but she didn't even smile.
“Father…” Qingyan wanted to complain about the Crown Prince, but she didn’t say it. She knew Fei Yanggu’s fiery temper. If she knew that he was wronged, he would definitely run to Kangxi for an explanation. She knew better than anyone how Kangxi would react to his daughter-in-law and son.
"Little darling, don't just look at the immediate benefits. As the ancients said, it's never too late to take revenge after ten years." Yuelai Inn is not a big place at all. Hearing that his daughter had been wronged, Fei Yanggu could still hold back.
"The imperial chefs have already been sent over. What does it matter to me if he makes a fuss again!" Qingyan was getting a little angry and vented her frustration in silence.
"Alright, let's have a meal together as a family!" Fei Yanggu couldn't help but praise the little guy for preparing such a complete set of things, seeing that many of the fish were fished out of the canal.
"Hehe, Father, this shrimp paste tastes amazing! My chef is no less skilled than the imperial chef!" Qingyan said with a smile. "Sulan's cooking is the best."
After dinner, Fei Yanggu's resentment dissipated. With Saito suppressing him, E Shuo could only cause trouble for the Li Jia brothers. Kangxi saw this but did not give Fei Yanggu and his two sons any advice. He was very satisfied that they did not cause trouble for the princes.
“Father, I bring you and Ah Hun three meals a day. The cooks over there don’t cook well!” Qingyan said to Fei Yanggu in a coquettish tone, revealing the little rascal’s true nature.
"Okay, I know you're good at hiding things!" Fei Yanggu muttered to Qingyan, who was not ashamed but rather proud.
Noble ladies rarely have the habit of feasting. They have never experienced famine. When Fei Yanggu saw Qingyan like this, he felt angry and guilty. If he hadn't taken Qingyan with him on the expedition, would this problem have occurred?
"Hmph, Father, you're just being smug!" Qingyan pouted. Fei Yanggu and the others always teased her, but when it came to actually eating, no one said a word.
She pouted as she saw Fei Yanggu and his two sons off, then turned and threw herself into Yin's arms, muttering under her breath that her father and sons were too mean.
"Alright, didn't you say you were going to send food to your father-in-law? Now you feel like you're missing out?" Yin laughed. The little girl always had moments of regret.
"It's better to improve things for Ama than to give them to someone else!" Qingyan couldn't complain openly, so she sent everything away.
Yin shook his head; this girl held a grudge.
"Okay, we won't give it to that person!" he coaxed Qingyan.
The Crown Prince's actions were unethical, which chilled Qingyan's heart.
At all times, Consort Tong upheld the Crown Prince's dignity, ignoring Li Jia's repeated provocations.
Now, Lady Li takes Consort Tong's protection for granted. Even if the Crown Prince...favors Lady Li, what about the future? (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
