411 I’ve Been Put In the Shade

He was tired just thinking about it. The thing should be in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence, so why could he not find it?

“Your Majesty, what if that thing is not in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence at all?” he asked softly.

“That’s impossible,” the Emperor rejected Eunuch Zheng’s guess and shook his head.

Where could the item be if it wasn’t in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence? Qian Jiyun couldn’t possibly keep it with him at all times. That was no small thing. Someone would have discovered it if he had carried it with him, right?

“It must be because that useless old thing didn’t search carefully!” he said.

Eunuch Zheng’s eyes dimmed.

No one would be in a good mood at the mention of Xue Yingyue from the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.

That woman was really… Words were difficult to describe her, but they had to keep her alive because she was very useful.

“I’ll send someone to rush her.”

In reality, he had already sent people to rush Xue Yingyue. However, that woman was really useless.

He had already sent someone to lure Qian Yiyun to the southern border so she could do whatever she wanted and search the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.

However, she could not find anything.

Xue Yingyue even swore to have ordered a search of the Prince Zhan Yun Residence, leaving no stone unturned.

This made him wonder if Qian Jiyun had kept that thing elsewhere. Was it not in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence at all?

“Tell her that she doesn’t have to stay in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence if she can’t find it,” the Emperor instructed Eunuch Zheng coldly.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Eunuch Zheng replied.

…

The news from the palace soon reached Xue Yingyue.

She broke out in a cold sweat when she heard she did not have to stay at the Prince Zhan Yun Residence. She was extremely anxious.

She had wanted to bring the two little children to her. However, she realized that she could not do that now. The two little ones were probably useless. She had to catch the big one.

Qian Jiyun had to be interested in An Jiuyue. As long as she could capture her, she would be able to get the answer she wanted from Qian Jiyun.

“Ling Er, go there and keep watch. When you see An Jiuyue, bring her to me immediately,” Xue Yingyue instructed the maid.

“Yes, Old Madam,” Ling Er replied and turned to leave.

…

Qian Yiyun was making lotus lanterns with Qian Yizheng and Qian Yirong in Qiongzhi Courtyard.

The two children might not have seen many other flowers, but they had seen lotus flowers. After Qian Yiyun made a lotus lantern, the two very capable children began to make one too.

And the lotus lanterns they made…

“I feel like I’ve been put in the shade!” Qian Yiyun looked at the lotus lanterns made by the two children and glanced at hers in disdain.

She had been making lotus lanterns for many years, but her lantern was inferior to the ones made by two newbies.

Moreover, these two newbies were so young!

“Zheng’er, Rong’er, you’ve already made two. There’s no need to make any more. I’ll bring you to play with other things, okay?”

She quickly suggested when she saw that the two little ones wanted to continue making lotus lanterns.

“No.” Qian Yizheng shook his head and glanced at the lotus lantern he had made.

“I’ll make a better one for Mother.”

He felt that the lotus lantern he had made was not good enough. Fortunately, it was only a trial lantern. He would definitely be able to make a better lantern for his mother.

“Then I’ll make one for Uncle Qian.”
