Yin looked down at the jade Buddha head in her small hand and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"This is...me?" Yin looked at the cute little expression and Qingyan's proud look, and he leaned down and kissed him.
"Isn't Sisi cute?" Qingyan designed it herself, and Yin always used 18-bead Buddhist prayer beads.
Yin handed her the 18-bead Buddhist prayer beads in his hand. These beads, made of small-leaf sandalwood, were a gift from the Empress Dowager. The Buddha head was made of red coral.
Now, a jade Buddha head has been replaced with one strung on a bright yellow silk cord, which looks better.
"Little darling, was this also carved by Mei'ai's master?" Yin looked at the Buddha head, the carving was even more exquisite than the ones made in the palace.
Qingyan nodded. These old craftsmen were basically found by Fei Yanggu and others.
"Sisi, what do you want to carve?" Qingyan asked.
Yin smiled. Some of the jewelry was intended for Xiao Guai. If it were given to Mei Ai, could he still keep it a secret from Xiao Guai?
That's enough!
Yin sighed and finally decided to send the design drawings to the Imperial Workshop.
"Will you tell me or not!" Qingyan poked at the fabric on his chest with her index finger, her face full of dissatisfaction.
"They are some pieces of jewelry, but most of them need to be sent to the Imperial Workshop!" Yin replied regretfully.
She leaned against her chest, her little face beaming with joy. Surely she should have a piece of those jewelry?
The carriage suddenly stopped. Yin frowned. What had happened now?
"Little darling, go hide in the back!" Yin kissed her little face and let go of her hand.
Kneeling outside the carriage were the Third Prince's wet nurse and her family. They had been driven to extinction by Consort Dong'e, and having finally seen the prince's carriage, they certainly wouldn't approach him.
"Fourth Master!" The wet nurse's husband was once the steward of the Dong E family mansion. After the wet nurse was given death by Consort Tong, Lady Dong E directly expelled the steward from the mansion.
There were only four people left in their family. To keep their secret, Lady Dong'e poisoned their food. Fortunately, he and his eldest son were away, and his eldest daughter-in-law had taken her two grandsons to her parents' home. Otherwise, the whole family would have been killed.
"We have been wronged!" Ma Zhong knelt on the ground, with his eldest son and daughter-in-law kneeling beside him. People on both sides of the road stopped to watch, a scene that was rarely seen.
"What exactly happened?!" Yin squinted. Ma Zhong was one of Dong Eqishi's more trusted people. If it weren't for an important situation, he certainly wouldn't have driven such a trusted person out of the mansion.
Ma Zhong recounted everything Lady Dong'e had done, and Yin couldn't help but frown.
Yin found Lady Dong'e's actions despicable.
"Alright, Su Peisheng, let's go to the new residence!" Yin noticed that there were more and more people outside, and it wouldn't be good to deal with royal troubles outside.
"!" Su Peisheng lowered the carriage curtain and turned to walk towards Fei Yanggu's new house. When Qingyan came out from behind, she looked like she was preparing to go home, and the smile on her little face became more and more genuine.
She leaned close to Yin's ear and whispered the question.
Are we heading back to the new house?
Yin nodded. Xiao Guai hadn't even returned home for the ninth day of the lunar month. She had been by his side for the past few years. Now that she had the chance to go back and visit, she was very happy to do so.
"We'll head back soon. I'll send a guard back to ask Father Emperor if we can stay at the new residence for the night," Yin whispered to her.
hey-hey!
Little Guai was secretly delighted; finally, she could see her father.
When they arrived at the new house, Aktun was already waiting by the door, happy that Xiao Guai was finally home.
"Princess, welcome home!" Akdun looked at Qingyan, who was being helped down from the carriage by Yin, with a smile on his face.
Su Peisheng led Ma Zhong's family into the courtyard, and Fei Yanggu and his two sons rushed out of the study.
"My little darling... I've missed you so much!" Fei Yanggu walked quickly out of the inner courtyard.
Qingyan happily shook off Yin's hand and jumped into Feiyanggu's arms.
"Father, Father~ I'm back!" Qingyan happily snuggled in Feiyangu's arms, while Eshuo and Saito stood on either side, watching the little darling with smiles on their faces.
"You brat, don't you miss your father?" Fei Yanggu pinched Qingyan's nose, his tiger eyes involuntarily moistening. Originally, Kangxi had said that if Fei Yanggu missed her too much, he would let the father and daughter meet in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Fei Yanggu was a man of principle and would never use his privilege again.
"I miss you!" Qingyan was held in Fei Yanggu's arms and coaxed for a long time before she slowly stopped crying.
E'shuo and Saito secretly rejoiced as they watched Yin's face grow increasingly dark. If it weren't for Yin, they wouldn't have been unable to see Qingyan for several years.
"Fourth Uncle, Xiao Guai was frightened in the palace, so I brought her out to relax." Yin didn't dare to pull Qing Yan back. If he dared to do so, Fei Yanggu would definitely kick him out.
Fei Yanggu frowned. Who would dare to bully Xiao Guai?
Previously, news came from Fei Yanggu's people planted in the prince's quarters that Dong Eshi had been making things difficult for Xiao Guai.
"It's Dong E again?" Saito thought about the people Su Peisheng brought in, and his mood worsened.
Yin nodded. Ma Zhong betrayed the Jue Luo clan for his family, which they thought would be a good opportunity.
On the way to the study, Yin told Fei Yanggu that the three of them were furious. How dare the Crown Princess lay a hand on Xiao Guai?
"Was Shi Bingwen involved?" Judging from the secret medicine in the Crown Princess's hand, it should have been given by someone from a prominent family in the Imperial Household Department. Whether Uya Shi had any prayer effects in it is also unknown.
"Yes, the Crown Princess has been confined to her quarters by Father Emperor and Mother Emperor!" Yin dared not conceal anything and told Fei Yanggu everything.
Previously, Yin believed he could protect Qingyan, but reality dealt him a harsh blow.
It wasn't that he lacked cunning, but rather that he lost because of his lack of connections.
After his rebirth, Yin endured many hardships, but he still couldn't compete with the connections that the aristocratic families had built up over generations.
"What?!" Seto exclaimed in surprise.
Dong Eqi was a formidable general, but his strategies were not used on the battlefield; instead, they were used in the harem.
Eshuo and Saito couldn't accept it, but Feiyanggu smiled coldly. Xiaoguai was his precious treasure, and no one could hurt her.
"How is Xiao Guai's health?" Fei Yanggu didn't ask anything else; Xiao Guai's health was the most important thing.
"Doctor Yuan said that he should recover in about a year!" Yin looked annoyed. Fei Yanggu patted him on the shoulder and continued walking forward.
Qingyan was led by Fei Yanggu, her face beaming with smiles.
It feels so good to be home. Unlike in the prison, I don't have to be so careful everywhere I go, afraid of being caught doing something wrong.
"Sulan, go to the small kitchen. Let's have a proper dinner tonight!" Fei Yanggu noticed that Yin's guards were not all present, so he knew he had to go to the palace to ask for instructions.
After bowing, Su Lan left for the small kitchen. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
