"And there's also a letter from Princess You Rong." Zhao Zhongquan walked briskly, his face beaming with joy, and handed the letter to Yun Beiye.
This is truly wonderful news!
"Quick, quick, let me see it!" Yun Beiye, slightly nervous and anxious, snatched the letter from Zhao Zhongquan's hand. His hand trembled slightly as he opened the envelope.
The letter was written in Yun Duoduo's crooked, uneven handwriting:
Father, Duoduo is doing well. Duoduo wants to see the Northern Frontier. There are still things to take care of there. After I finish taking care of them, I will go back to take care of you. Love you, mwah!
"This, this is Duoduo's letter. Just by looking at these words, you won't find another person in the world who can write like this, hahaha!" Yun Beiye laughed loudly while holding the letter.
"This child is really, really resourceful. She still has things to do in the northern frontier. Hmm, she's decisive, just like me!"
“Yes, yes, Princess Yourong is intelligent and cares deeply for the people,” Zhao Zhongquan echoed from the side.
"But what does this 'muah' mean?" Yun Beiye stroked his chin, puzzled. He took the letter and looked at it carefully.
"Look, Duoduo wrote 'muah' on it, right?"
Zhao Zhongquan was old and had some presbyopia. He squinted at the crooked characters on the paper, carefully deciphered them for a while, and then nodded in confirmation, "Yes, Your Majesty, yes, me, me, da."
"This old servant doesn't know what this means either," Zhao Zhongquan said, frowning as he pondered deeply.
"Go, have the Imperial Censor and the Ministry of Rites check the ancient texts to see what 'mo da' means!"
"Duoduo has been reading a lot of books lately, they must be some novel ones that we haven't read before. The younger generation is truly surpassing the older generation, she is indeed worthy of being my daughter!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this old servant will take care of it immediately."
"Wait a minute, was it Prince Jin who kidnapped Duoduo this time?" Yun Beiye seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Prince of Jibei has already imprisoned the Prince of Jin, the Princess of Jin, and the Princess of Dongping in the northern prison."
"Colluding with foreign officials and plotting to harm the princess, he should be executed on a chosen day..." Yun Beiye pondered for a moment. He didn't want to kill his brother who had grown up with him, but Yun Mohan not only left the Northern Frontier post without permission and colluded with foreign officials, but now he was even trying to harm his precious daughter.
If someone were to dart around in his minefield like that, they certainly wouldn't survive.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
...
Inside Consort De's bedroom, the Third Prince Yun Yishu stared blankly at the two pots of fresh flowers in front of him.
His face was haggard, and he muttered, "Royal sister, are you alright? This is fresh nectar that your royal brother specially saved for you. I was planning to give it to you after your investiture ceremony."
"Oh, my royal sister, where are you now?" Yun Yishu picked up the wine pot to drown her sorrows.
He had been very worried ever since the incense jar exploded and Yun Duoduo was kidnapped.
The eldest and second princes have already used their connections and relationships to search the entire city, but he is usually forced to study by his mother, and apart from a few study companions and playmates, he has no informants or manpower available.
Ugh, this is so worrying!
The rain outside was drizzling down, which only added to the frustration.
"Third Prince, a letter from Princess Yourong." Shi Tou walked in with an envelope in his hand.
"A letter from Duoduo?" Yun Yishu's heart pounded as he nervously accepted the letter.
"How is Duoduo?"
"Quick, bring it here so I can take a look."
Yun Yishu couldn't wait to open the letter. When he saw Yun Duoduo's handwriting, he burst out laughing.
The sign read: "Third Brother, you must run the business well! As the major shareholder, I'm eagerly awaiting the dividends! Also, help me set up my clinic; it will open for business as soon as I return!"
"Stone, look at this! The characters are written wildly and crookedly. Just look at them, and you'll know that my sister is definitely alright!"
Yun Yishu looked at the letter and laughed.
“Yes, yes, Your Highness, these characters are crooked and messy, such ugly characters must have been written by our princess.” Stone nodded vigorously.
"How dare you speak like that? How could you say my sister's handwriting is ugly!" Yun Yishu tapped Shi Tou's head.
Stone stared blankly at Yun Yishu. [What? Is it that only officials can set fires, but ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps?]
[I feel so wronged...]
Don't cry...
"Quickly, go and send a message to the eldest and second princes, telling them that Duoduo is doing well."
"Then hurry back. We still need to check on the shop. My sister instructed us to prepare it before she returns." Yun Yishu suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit, as if she had a lot to do.
"Hurry up, and get it done quickly!"
"Yes, yes, Stone, I'll go right away!"
Stone grabbed an umbrella and ran outside, his fat jiggling as he went.
...
In northern Xinjiang, yellow sand fills the sky, jagged rocks abound, and steep cliffs rise, while the round, red sun bakes the earth until it cracks.
Jin Jinzhi safely returned to the main tent with Yun Duoduo.
Yun Duoduo lifted the curtain of the main tent and looked outside. In front of her was an endless desert. The desert stretched as far as the eye could see, and the horizon was far away, making her feel very small, as if she could be swallowed up at any moment.
"Come in, the sandstorm is about to start."
Yun Duoduo lowered the curtain and sat down on the low couch inside.
After Jin Jinzhi tied the curtain, the wind started to blow outside, so he put a hood and veil on Yun Duoduo.
After a stick of incense had burned, the wind outside gradually stopped, the sun slowly set, and the night deepened.
Jin Jinzhi removed his hood and veil, and Yun Duoduo followed suit. The two of them sat quietly side by side for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
She found this feeling quite peculiar, as if the world had shrunk to just the two of them.
Are you hungry?
Jin Jinzhi handed over a kettle and a plate of dried meat.
Yun Duoduo took the water bottle and took a sip.
She had eaten her fill when she was a hostage at Lianyuan Villa, so she wasn't hungry at all right now.
"Let me see your injuries."
As he carried her away, when he touched her shoulder, he clearly felt her flinch in pain.
Jin Jinzhi bent down and leaned closer to Yun Duoduo to see the injury on her shoulder.
[Emma, are we really this close?]
Yun Duoduo felt her face flush red and involuntarily shrank back.
Jin Jinzhi noticed her movement, his outstretched hand paused, and he looked at her, his eyes slightly moving with a hint of surprise, "Little girl, you've grown up, you know how to be shy now?"
"Alright, judging from your appearance, your injury may not be serious. Take this bottle of medicine and apply it when you get back; it will help your wound heal faster." Jin Jinzhi placed a bottle of wound medicine on the table.
"Um."
Yun Duoduo didn't say anything; she just felt the atmosphere was a little awkward.
【Oh, Yun Duoduo, you're such a disappointment.】
[Damn it, why did I have to hide?]
[How could a six-year-old child make the atmosphere so awkward?]
