Chapter 51: Sister, Do You Still Remember Me?

Yan Ning trusted the Prince of Nanyang, and since she was betrothed to the Prince of Nanyang's heir, the Prince of Nanyang would absolutely never stab them in the back.

Yan Ning then said, "I will go with my father to pick them up."

Seeing that they were all going, Ji Lan stopped playing mahjong, "Let's go together."

As she spoke, Yan Ning also called for Li Dachu to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

The Prince of Nanyang and the Princess arrived with the young heir, followed by some maidservants, and they were carrying quite a few things.

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought someone was getting married.

Upon seeing Yan Ning, the Princess revealed a smile and pinched Yan Ning's chubby, baby-faced cheek, "Why did you send me such a precious gift?"

Yan Ning said with a smile, "It's not precious, it really isn't, you deserve to wear the most beautiful hairpins."

These words made the Princess beam with joy, and the smile on her face became even more genuine.

Yan Ning said to her, "Uncle Xiao, I will take you all to my new home."

The group boarded the boat together, and Xiao Chengtian asked with some curiosity, "Why don't you live in Shawan County?"

Yan Ze sighed, "It's my good-for-nothing second brother and my uncouth third brother; they were at each other's throats in the Capital, and after coming to Lingnan, they teamed up to kill me. Having encountered assassins several times, I thought of finding a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Xiao Chengtian was furious; he slapped the table, his anger soaring, "They are useless themselves, yet they spend all day thinking about harming others. If Daxia were to be handed over to these two, I fear the common people would once again live in dire misery."

The Princess hurriedly said, "Oh, we didn't think to bring more troops with us earlier to protect your safety."

Yan Ning said with a smile, "We don't actually need that many people; our new home has a good thing, and no one will be able to come over."

Half an hour later, they arrived at Chaoyang Village.

Yan Ning pulled the Princess toward a room.

She knocked on the door, and someone inside responded, only then did Yan Ning lead the Princess inside.

The Princess looked at Lady Xie inside, quite surprised, "Ajing, why are you here?"

Lady Xie then said, "My husband spoke a few words on behalf of the First Prince, and he was demoted; they said he should come to Lingnan to catch up with the First Prince."

But soon, the Princess's attention was drawn away.

This—this mass of material being burned until it was glowing red was being pulled out in small amounts by Lady Xie using strange tools, and then she began to shape it.

Once the heat dissipated, it became a flower petal.

Looking at the texture...

After the temperature had completely dropped, the Princess's eyes widened, "This, is this Glazed Glass?!"

Yan Ning nodded with a smile, "Yes, it is."

The Princess's expression became somewhat subtle; the hairpins and dangling hairpins she had prepared for Yan Ning didn't seem quite appropriate anymore. Yan Ning could find people to make them herself.

Fortunately, she had other gifts.

Lady Xie, as if presenting a treasure, said to Yan Ning, "Ningning, I have recently figured out some new styles."

Yan Ning immediately grabbed a stool and sat down to watch Lady Xie make Glazed Glass.

She saw Lady Xie do this and that, and the general shape of the hairpin emerged.

This hairpin had a very beautiful color with a green gradient; Lady Xie took another mass and made it into green leaves, sticking them onto the hairpin. The design wasn't particularly beautiful, but this hairpin was made of pure Glass.

Lady Xie was not very satisfied with this hairpin, so she took another mass and made the hairpin into the shape of bamboo, section by section, finally adding some bamboo leaves, and a simple yet beautiful hairpin was produced.

After it cooled, Lady Xie's eyes were full of smiles.

She said to Yan Ning, "Ningning, I give this hairpin to you."

Yan Ning did not decline and accepted it directly.

Lady Xie said with a smile, "This Glazed Glass is quite interesting. Ningning, can you get more patterns? I can learn them all."

Yan Ning: "I will think about it immediately, and I'll tell you once I have."

I wonder if there are hairpin-making processes inside the Tablet.

After staying here for a while, Yan Ning took Lady Xie to stroll around elsewhere.

She pointed at the tall Watchtower and said, "See that tower? People guard it day and night, and at night, lights will be lit all around. If anyone dares to come, they will shoot them directly."

The Princess nodded, "This is good, it looks very convenient; our Wangfu should get one too in the future."

Yan Ning then took her to see the large plot of land behind.

At this time, there were still people clearing wasteland and cutting trees; ten mu of paddy fields were already planted with rice, another plot for cotton only had some small seedlings, and another plot was planted in a messy way, with some places having trellises set up and other places having small seedlings growing.

Yan Ning said with a smile, "Auntie, we are living quite well here, you don't need to worry about me."

The Princess rubbed Yan Ning's head.

Although this place is good, how could it compare to Jingdu?

Not to mention Jingdu, it couldn't even compare to Ding'an City.

Yan Ning brought the Princess home, where her father and the Prince of Nanyang were playing chess together.

Yan Ning said with some embarrassment, "We go to Haicheng every three days to restock the Glazed Ornament, I have to go tomorrow."

Xiao Huaijin's eyes sparkled, "Then can we go to Haicheng to play?"

Yan Ze said cheerfully, "Yes, of course you can. Anyway, there's nothing fun to do at home, might as well go to Haicheng, don't let the child get stifled."

The next morning, Yan Ning took the Glazed Ornament and her mother to Haicheng.

There was little leisure and entertainment in ancient times, so Yan Ning found a teahouse, "I've heard that the storyteller here is quite good, we can go listen to the stories!"

The group of six followed Yan Ning, and before long, they arrived at the teahouse.

Yan Ze ordered some tea and snacks.

However, Yan Ning felt that it was boring for them to listen on the second floor; the storyteller was good, and many people gathered in front were throwing copper coins onto the stage, and occasionally someone generous would throw a piece of broken silver.

Yan Ning wanted to scatter Gold Melon Seeds and Silver Melon Seeds.

If only she could poach this storyteller and bring him home.

The storyteller reached the climax and slapped the gavel, "If you wish to know what happens next, please listen to the next installment."

Yan Ning:???

That's it?

She still wanted to see how that Princess took her revenge.

So she scattered a lot of Gold Melon Seeds onto the stage, "Continue, continue!"

The storyteller was clearly seeing such a wealthy and overbearing person for the first time; he took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and began to tell the next chapter.

Yan Ning was listening, completely engrossed, when a child beside her poked her: "Big sister, do you still remember me?"

Yan Ning turned her head to look; it was a little tyke, it seemed to be the child who had given her the Jade Pendant last time.

Yan Ning nodded: "I remember."

As he spoke, the little tyke took out the Jade Pendant again, "Big sister, for you."

Yan Ning refused to accept it no matter what.

The little tyke was cute and had no other intentions in giving the Jade Pendant; it was just that Yan Ning was pretty, and he wanted to be friends with Yan Ning and give his most important thing to a friend.

Yan Ning would not accept it, and the little tyke felt a bit disappointed, but he did not insist.

At this moment, Xiao Huaijin, who was following behind Yan Ning, secretly took off his own Jade Pendant, "Ningning, this is a Jade Pendant that has been blessed at a temple; it can keep you safe. You even said it was pretty yesterday, so I'm giving it to you."

Yan Ning nodded and accepted the Jade Pendant; their families were close, and with their existing engagement, it was just a Jade Pendant, so she accepted it.

Xiao Huaijin tied the Jade Pendant to her waist.

As a result, the little tyke let out a "Wah" and started crying.
