414 Don’t Even Think About Coming Back Tonight!
“Uh…” Qian Yiyun was rendered speechless.
She was so excited that she almost forgot that she was keeping the two children company.
“Aunt Yiyun has other things to do. Uncle Qian will teach you.”
Qian Jiyun arrived beside the two little ones before Qian Yiyun could speak. He squatted down and patted Qian Yizheng’s head.
“Aunt Yiyun only knows how to make this type of lotus lantern. I’ll teach you to make other styles—the very beautiful ones,” he said.
Qian Yiyun was speechless.
A bright idea came to her suddenly. Unfortunately, it slipped away too quickly, and she could not catch it.
She lowered her head and muttered, “So what if I only know how to make one type of lotus lantern? Is that heinous of me?”
She was not going to make a living out of lotus lanterns anyway. She only had to make a lotus lantern and put it in the water. As long as it did not sink, it did not matter if she made the same kind every year.
“Forget it.” She shook her head and decided not to argue with her brother.
It was more important to work with Yan Jin and the others.
“That’s right. Zheng’er and Rong’er, learn from Uncle Qian. He knows how to make many lotus lanterns. I have something to do. I’ll come back tonight to keep you company.”
Qian Jiyun watched his sister leave and thought to himself, “Don’t even think about coming back tonight!”
He looked at Qian Yizheng and Qian Yirong.
“Zheng’er, Rong’er, the lotus lanterns don’t have to be pink. Daqing Kingdom reveres totems with black backgrounds and golden hems. You can also make black lotus flowers. They’ll look nice too.”
He took the materials he had bought and spread them out in front of the two little ones.
“Black and gold?” The two children looked at each other. “Uncle Qian, won’t we be arrested if we use these colors?”
Their mother had also mentioned the colors revered by Daqing Kingdom. She had warned them, however, to be cautious and not use only these two colors. Otherwise, they would be arrested and charged with contempt of the royal family.
Who would dare to use the royal family’s colors carelessly? Were they unafraid of death?
“No.” Qian Jiyun smiled and shook his head.
Who would dare to arrest them? The people from the Prince Zhan Yun Residence could do whatever they wanted. Did they have to be at the mercy of the old Emperor?
However, the old Emperor had been doing a lot recently. It was time to find something to occupy him. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to deal with him.
Just as he was thinking about how to make things difficult for the old Emperor, Nan Qian, the butler’s assistant, rushed over.
“Master, Prince Sui is here.”
Qian Jiyun stopped what he was doing and glanced at Nan Qian.
What could Prince Sui be here for? His arm had been hurting for two days, and he was worried it would hurt like hell tomorrow.
“Chase him away. I won’t see him.”
He did not have to give Prince Sui any face. If the Emperor did not give face to his son, why should he?
Nan Qian was speechless.
Isn’t this something that only Master will do? Who would dare to chase Prince Sui away?
But I think Prince Sui deserves it. He had to provoke Master’s people out of everyone he could. But it did seem like he didn’t fall into this trap on purpose—Prince De framed him.
“Yes, Master,” he replied and turned to leave.
