someone might be listening from outside.Jia Yin lowered her voice and told the story of Shou Kang Palace, ending with a sneer. "The third princess is still as foolish as ever. She spoke ill in front...In the imperial study, the Emperor was playing chess with the Marquis. Seeing that the Marquis was distracted, he couldn't help but advise him.

"Don't worry, brother. Those two little girls are going to Shoukang Palace for the first time. Even if someone was in a hurry, they wouldn't do anything to them."

Just then, Manager Yi suddenly glanced at the corner of the room and drove the little eunuch inside out.

Soon, an unassuming white-clad guard appeared in the room, kneeling before the desk not far away, and whispered his report, "Your Majesty, the Third Princess and County Princess Kangle have come out of Shoukang Palace."

"So fast" The Emperor was surprised, glanced at the Marquis, and then asked, "How are they Was it difficult for them at Shoukang Palace"

The dark guard's expression flickered for a moment, then he bowed respectfully and began to speak.

At first, the Emperor and the Marquis weren't sure how to feel, but then they just threw away their chess pieces.

The guard, after a moment's thought, repeated Jia Yin's words from the corner of the wall verbatim.

The Emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter and said to the Marquis, "Cousin, I truly wonder what good fortune you had back then that led you to meet the Li family and adopt such a wonderful daughter!"

"This little Foonier is simply too clever! At only ten years old, she already understands so much!

"The Third Princess should indeed learn a lesson. If she could learn even a fraction of Funiu'er's clarity and intelligence, I wouldn't have to worry about her anymore."

The lord rarely had such a smug expression, his eyes and eyebrows crinkling at the corners with amusement.

"Your Majesty, don't praise her so much. If she hears you, her tail will be up in the sky."

“This girl has always been shrewd and bold. This time, she probably caught them off guard because they underestimated her. Next time, it’ll be harder for them.”

But the emperor waved his hand. "I don't care about those things. Today is a happy occasion. If there's truly nothing happening at Shoukang Palace, tomorrow I might as well be filial and replace all the people there."

Having said that, he instructed Yi the Steward, "Go to the treasury and select some things that Princess Fu likes. Deliver them personally to Zilan Palace as a parting gift from me to the Third Princess."

"Tell the two children that I am pleased they are so filial, punishing the wicked servant for their grandmother. I hope they will continue to behave this way in the future."

"Oh, right, last time, didn't the Third Princess say she wanted a jade Ruyi I recall there's a pair of gold-inlaid jade Ruis. Let me have it sent to her as well."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yi Z總管 replied with joy, and then led people to open the inner treasury.

While the guards had long since quietly slipped away.

The Marquis was relieved and decided to get up and take his leave. This caused the Emperor to complain, "Brother, you're really something. Knowing your daughter is fine, you just want to leave. You don't even want to stay and finish this game of chess with me"

The Marquis was not being polite. He replied, "Your Majesty can just look for someone else. I need to hurry to the docks."

The Emperor smiled wryly and did not keep anyone.

Many people could accompany him in chess, but only his cousin was able to deliver an army of one hundred thousand...

Jia Yin and the Third Princess returned to Zhi Lan Palace. After the excitement wore off, the Third Princess became a little worried and whispered to Jia Yin, "What if Father finds out we made such a ruckus in Shou Kang Palace Will he be angry"

Jia Yin tied on an apron and, with Shui Yun, was going to bake a small cake decorated with fresh fruit.

Hearing the Third Princess ask this, she casually replied: "It doesn't matter if I know, after all, it was you who caused a ruckus at Shou Kang Palace. I've been well-behaved this whole time and didn't lay a finger on anyone!"

"Oh, Li Jiayin, you're going to drive me crazy!" The Third Princess stomped her foot in anger, causing Jiayin to laugh and finally console her with a few words.

"Just put your heart in your belly! For example, if you hate someone, and I go and take care of that person, wouldn't you be happy Wouldn't you think highly of me"

“Of course!” The third princess rolled her eyes and finally changed into a smile.

"Haha, then let's quickly bake a cake. I want to send a piece to Father Emperor and take the opportunity to ask for a reward."

Before her words even hit the ground, Manager Yi arrived with a group of eunuchs carrying boxes of various sizes.

Seeing Jia Yin and the Third Princess emerge, still with flour on their hands, Easy Steward smiled.

"Your Highness, Miss, the Emperor heard about what happened in Shoukang Palace and was very pleased with your filial piety towards the Empress Dowager. He specially asked me to bring some good things here for you."

Among them, the pair of gold-inlaid jade ruyi was given to the princess.

"The remaining silks and jewelry, as well as the small ornaments, were personally bestowed by the Emperor upon the County Lord's dowry."

"Tuition" The Third Princess laughed, "Father is truly amazing, he even guessed this! Jia Yin really did ask me for tuition. Now it's great, Father helped me by giving it."

Jia Yin smiled on her face, but in her heart she had confirmed some guesses.

The emperor did indeed send people to keep an eye on her and the princess.

Actually, this is normal. The Emperor is the master of this palace, of course he would want to keep everything under his control.

Now she lives and eats with the Third Princess, the Emperor isn't worried that she would harm her, but he still wants to know what they are up to.

Especially when it involves Shou Kang Palace...

However, understanding is one thing, no one will be happy being monitored.

I guess I'll have to be more careful in the future...

After sending off Yi Zuo Guan, Jia Yin kept two sets of jewelry for herself. The rest of the boxes were given to the Third Princess to distribute to people, and they all ended up at the Earl's Mansion.

Waner has been on edge these two days, worried that her younger sister-in-law is not having a good time in the palace.

Suddenly, she received something sent from the palace. It was said to be a special gift from the Emperor for her younger sister, and she was overjoyed.

It's not that she is shallow and values material possessions, but this proves that her younger sister lives comfortably in the palace.

At the very least, they managed to please the Emperor and the Third Princess, otherwise there wouldn't be all these things.

She had the box stored away, entrusted to her care by her younger sister-in-law. At the same time, she instructed someone to send a letter to her husband who was visiting the academy, reassuring him and urging him to return home sooner.

In a small courtyard in the south of Quanzhou City, not to mention Kyoto, Li Lao Tai was currently having tea and snacks with Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru, and Coral girl, discussing some details about their upcoming wedding.

This small courtyard was rented by the Li family a few days ago, intending to settle Miss Coral comfortably before their wedding.

To avoid suspicion and to better care for the coral, Tao Hongying even hired the couple from Mi's family to do odd jobs.

Mi Jia's son and daughter-in-law both work on merchant ships and are not often home. Mi's wife and husband stay at home, having a small job to supplement their income, and are very happy about it.

Uncle Mi was responsible for chopping wood and fetching water, while Aunt Mi cooked, did laundry, and helped Coral Girl with sewing.

Today, Old Madam Li made her first visit. Coral immediately presented a pair of handmade shoes, though the craftsmanship wasn't perfect, it was filled with heartfelt intentions.

Even with Li Jia's current fortune, there's no need for his granddaughter-in-law to work, but Coral's thoughtfulness makes Old Madam Li especially happy.

She chatted idly with Coral for a long while before remembering the reason for their meeting. Then she said, “Coral, our family doesn’t have any objections to your background. But when a woman marries, her family of origin still needs to be respectable."

"From now on, you'll have a place to go during festivals and holidays, won't you "

I've been thinking, I want to get you a godparent. That's why I came over today to see if you have any thoughts on it. If not, then I'll start making arrangements.

Coral was stunned for a moment, then as if remembering something, she lifted her skirt and knelt directly before Old Lady Li.

Here are three more!ew houses.After the Northern Expeditionary Army returned, Li Yong had nothing to do and planned for the village again.It's not that I don't feel sorry for Li Yong, but he enjoys this kind of work. If...
