Chapter 413

Regarding the Jin Yangzi residence, Elder Lu said he couldn't figure it out.

But the matter that harmed his grandson cannot simply be let go.

So he will submit a memorial, and he'll do it tomorrow!

Prince Qi and Prince Qing expressed their thanks, and upon learning that Lu Yin Song's condition was stable and his mind much more open, they were quite pleased.

Considering Lu Yin Song was still resting in bed, they did not go to disturb him.

However, Sui Sui handed a small box of pretty beads to Lu Yin Xiao: 'Seventh Brother, could you please give this to Fourth Brother for me? Thank him for protecting me.'

Those were beads that Sui Sui, after hearing last night that she would come to thank Lu Yin Song, carefully selected from her own treasure trove.

They were beads that the little girl found beautiful and splendid.

Lu Yin Song might not need these, but who would dislike a child's sincere heart?

The beads were inside the box; you couldn't tell from the outside.

Lu Yin Xiao was a bit curious, but politely refrained from asking more, personally took the box, and whispered: 'Mingxi sister, rest assured, I will personally deliver this to Fourth Brother.'

Sui Sui thanked the handsome Seventh Brother again, then chatted with him for a while.

Elder Lu wanted to keep them for a meal, but Prince Qing and Prince Qi had no intention of staying; after polite refusals, Elder Lu personally saw the two princes off the residence.

Sui Sui reluctantly said goodbye to Lu Yin Xiao.

Lu Yin Xiao thought for a moment, then handed his folding fan to Sui Sui: 'It's hot on the road; holding a fan will make you more comfortable.'

Actually, it was just an excuse to give the child a little toy to cheer her up.

Sui Sui was indeed happy.

That Seventh Brother's fan looks very pretty, with a landscape painting on it, and gold powder speckled along the edge, appearing extremely noble, easily catching a child's eye.

Sui Sui had been staring at it for a few seconds earlier; Lu Yin Xiao perhaps noticed.

So, before Sui Sui left, he gave the fan away.

Sui Sui happily took the item and sweetly said: 'Thank you, handsome Seventh Brother.'

Lu Yin Xiao didn't mind; hearing Sui Sui say he was handsome, he smiled and replied: 'Mingxi sister, take your time; come play when you have free time.'

Sui Sui earnestly nodded: 'I've remembered Seventh Brother.'

Seeing the two children getting along well, Prince Qi was also quite pleased.

Prince Qing stood to the side, looking thoughtful.

On the way back, Prince Qing pondered and asked softly: 'What do you think of the Seventh Lord?'

Prince Qi didn't understand: 'Ah? Xiao'er? He's a fine boy—what's wrong?'

Prince Qing glanced toward Sui Sui's direction: 'What do you think?'

Prince Qi instantly sat up straight: 'Not really; he's smug and not good at all.'

Prince Qing: ……

You weren't saying that just now!

After Prince Qi had a daughter, he found none of the young men in the capital pleasing to the eye.

However, compared to them, Lu Yin Xiao is already quite a good one.

After Prince Qi's anger subsided, he pondered and said: 'We should wait and see; how was Nan'er of the Cheng Gongfu before? Such a pure and well-behaved child—what has he become now? Even a dog would shake its head.'

After hearing that, Prince Qing thought back to the likable Ren Zinan of his childhood, then fell into thought and silence.

Prince Qing naturally also couldn't bear to part with his daughter; he had just seen Sui Sui getting along well with Lu Yin Xiao, so he asked an extra question.

Moreover, these years on the battlefield, he has not spared himself and does not know how many years he has left.

He constantly thinks about making plans for Sui Sui early.

To pave her life's path perfectly and smoothly.

Now it seems he was still too hasty.

Let's take our time.

Prince Qi, unaware of Prince Qing's thoughts, continued to mutter: 'As things stand, Xiao'er is not bad; actually, Dai Ge of the He Mansion could work too, though he talks a bit much, but his intentions are not bad. However, the He clan is the Noble Consort's He clan; I don't want to get involved with them. Let us remain peacefully as princes—no one would dare provoke us—why meddle in their messy affairs? So Dai Ge is unsuitable.'

'Actually, the sons of the Song family are all fine, and the Meng family is good too; moreover, they are all cousins, relations close, so we could look after them more easily.'

……

After Prince Qi seriously thought it through, he concluded: 'Ah, marrying off a daughter is truly difficult!'

Prince Qing, listening beside him, couldn't help but remind: 'Who knows, the imperial elder brother may still have to give his opinion.'

Prince Qi: ……

How could that be acceptable?

He disagrees!

If the imperial elder brother dares to intervene, forbidding this match and insisting on another he dislikes, he will just cry.

Hmph!

Anyway, the imperial elder brother can't do anything about him.

It's merely a children's marriage, not a major affair; the imperial elder brother will surely defer to him in the end.

Prince Qi thought this with a hint of pride.

Sui Sui doesn't care what the adults are studying, and besides, she doesn't understand.

At this moment, she is sharing her new fan with Aunt Xiang.

The fan's edges are embroidered with gold thread; the center bears a simple landscape painting, a few strokes outlining evocative mountains and water, with two birds flying in the sky.

On the water are two ducks, looking rather plump.

The more Sui Sui looked, the more she liked it; she finally couldn't help exclaiming: 'This fan is truly beautiful.'

Prince Qi, listening nearby, couldn't help but laugh; looking at the fan's signature, he laughed again and said: 'That was drawn by your Seventh Brother himself; your Seventh Brother is quite talented.'

In Jing Cheng, not to mention peers of the same age, even those several years older than him, their learning is not as good as Lù Yǐnxiāo.

Moreover, Lù Yǐnxiāo is also versatile; both his learning and martial arts are good.

Even in painting and calligraphy, and even in divination, his performance is extremely outstanding.

Otherwise, why would the elderly Guó Gōng like it, and Lord Lù also habitually bring his young son along to show off?

He is truly too outstanding.

When Sui Sui heard this, it was a painting personally done by Qi Ge; their eyes widened, and after a long while they finally closed their slightly open mouth, softly exclaiming: "Qi Ge is really amazing!"

After the exclamation, Sui Sui couldn't help but ask the system: "Le Le, you say Qi Ge is so amazing, can they make a small landmine?"

The system really doesn't know about this.

It also cannot scan a person's inner qualities.

However, it can give an opinion: "I think, for a small landmine, we still need to rely on the Ying family's brothers."

That group has already researched for a long time; if Sui Sui here offers some opinions, perhaps they might actually achieve results.

But this thing is dangerous.

From when Sui Sui finished hearing the story of the small landmine, to later when she forgot and didn't mention it again, the system thought she had forgotten, so it didn't say more.

How can a child play with something so dangerous?

Fire is very useful, but very dangerous.

And gunpowder even more so!

Nowadays, Sui Sui brings up the old matter again; although the system is worried, it still gives an objective opinion.

In the research of gunpowder, Lù Yǐnxiāo has not shown any interest, hobby, or talent.

On the contrary, those young masters of the Ying family, upon first meeting, blew up their own Zhuangzi.

So, their talent should be not bad, and they also seem quite experienced.
