The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

King Xin: "..."

Should we?

What exactly happened in the capital during the two years he was away?

"Uncle, this is for you and Aunt." Qi Zhiyu got up, took out a box from the side, and placed it on the table.

Prince Xin opened it out of curiosity and saw several jade pendants inside: "This is..."

He recalled a rumor and asked, "I've heard that the temples outside the capital are very efficacious. Is this... for protection and safety?"

"Okay." Qi Zhiyu nodded. "I'll wear it all the time."

"Thank you, my dear niece." Prince Xin immediately closed the box and decided to send his trusted confidant to deliver the items to his queen and children, so that they would all wear them carefully and never take them off.

Wear it around your neck, you won't lose it!

The Prince Xin's solemn expression actually put Qi Zhiyu in a good mood.

Nobody likes to have their feelings betrayed.

"My dear niece, may I ask you a question?" Prince Xin asked with utmost sincerity, holding the box close to his chest.

Qi Zhiyu nodded.

Prince Xin immediately asked, "Generally speaking, people in temples pray for blessed amulets and Buddha statues. Shouldn't these kinds of talismans be Taoist?"

The talismans from the temples in the capital were so famous that he had heard of them even at the border.

His first reaction was curiosity: a temple? And the talismans were effective?

At that point, he sensed that something was wrong.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and asked, "If the talismans sold by the temple are effective, will the Imperial Uncle discard them simply because they weren't made by a Taoist temple?"

"Of course not!" Prince Xin replied without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, he immediately understood.

Prince Xin looked at Qi Zhiyu and smiled meaningfully: "My dear niece, you're quite something."

If the talismans in this temple have nothing to do with Qi Zhiyu, he'd twist his own head off and use it as a football.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "That temple was originally very popular, so it's quite convenient."

Should we find a new Taoist temple?

Just to make the talismans more legitimate?

She wouldn't bother with that.

For those who need talismans, as long as they work, what else matters?

Prince Xin raised his hand and pressed it against his chest.

He felt his heart beating a little fast, and he was afraid something would happen if he didn't stop it.

"My dear niece, your father is truly blessed to have you."

He doesn't even need to do the math; anyone with a normal brain can tell how much money that temple makes.

He didn't believe that Qi Zhiyu had given the talisman to the temple for nothing.

So, is it even a question of who ended up with all that money?

"Yes." Qi Zhiyu nodded generously and chuckled, "I think so too."

She's so wonderful, her family is naturally proud of her.

The temple caused such a commotion, there's no way the Emperor wouldn't know.

Father must be very pleased to see that Qi Zhiyu is so good at making money, right?

This is also the eldest brother accumulating capital for himself.

"My dear niece, there's been some activity from the Qi Kingdom," said Prince Xin. "They've already transported the horses to the border."

Qi Zhiyu scoffed, "Qi Yanhe still wants to confront me directly. He wants to redeem himself through meritorious service, huh?"

"That's true, he suffered a bit more losses this time in Da Rui."

"If he doesn't achieve something, the ruler of Qi Kingdom probably won't treat him well when he goes back."

Prince Xin looked at Qi Zhiyu uncertainly: "Niece... are you sure it's just a cold shoulder?"

Are the losses suffered by Qi Yan and Da Rui considered "a little too much"?

If Qi Yanhe were not a prince of Qi, but just an ordinary subject, he would probably have been beheaded the moment he set foot on Qi territory.

Modifying the transaction terms not only resulted in financial losses but also costly setbacks.

Regardless of whether the mineral veins on that mountain are abandoned and have little value, they're still lost.

This isn't just a matter of loss, it's mainly... a matter of losing face.

Qi Yanhe said he was giving it away, but if he had any other choice, he wouldn't have thought of giving away the mountain that belonged to the Qi Kingdom in public.

"That's not important." Qi Zhiyu waved her hand dismissively. "That's between Qi Yan and himself."

King Xin: "..."

My niece really does kill without burying the dead.

"Don't worry about it, just watch how they make their moves." Qi Zhiyu wasn't worried at all.

Anyway, it's just the same old tricks, nothing new.

Qi Zhiyu didn't care about Qi Yan and them.

However, Qi Yan and the Third Princess really remembered her.

Although they traveled very slowly, the Third Princess still felt unwell.

The injury on my shoulder is slowly healing, but it still aches faintly.

Her shoulder ached, a constant reminder of how much she had suffered at Qi Zhiyu's hands.

She was already furious, and when she saw Qi Zhiyu, the culprit, her anger reached its peak.

"Chen'an, what are you doing here?" The Third Princess stared at Qi Zhiyu in astonishment.

She came to see her second brother, but little did she expect that Qi Zhiyu would also be there.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Do I need to report to the Third Princess where I'm going?"

"You're a princess, why aren't you staying in the capital? Why are you running around outside in public?" the Third Princess scolded.

Qi Zhiyu curled her lips into a smile and threw three words at the Third Princess: "What's it to you?"

The third princess was furious: "You..."

"Princess, the princess may be here for sightseeing, His Majesty will surely agree," Qi Yanhe stopped the Third Princess.

He should have kept quiet, because his words only made the Third Princess angrier.

Has the Emperor become so biased that he has lost all basic judgment?

Qi Zhiyu is an unmarried young woman. How can she be allowed to wander around alone like this?

"Hmph, I meant well," the Third Princess said sarcastically. "Be careful, or no one will want you when you get married."

Qi Zhiyu showed no concern whatsoever; on the contrary, she was extremely proud: "My grandfather dotes on me so much that even if I keep a hundred or eighty male concubines in my courtyard, believe it or not, as long as I spread the word that I want to get married, the line of people wanting to marry me could stretch from the capital to the border."

Prince Xin stared at Qi Zhiyu in disbelief.

One hundred and eighty... male concubines?

He calculated how many concubines his father had in the empress's palace.

It's definitely not as much as my niece thinks.

My niece is amazing!

Prince Xin found that the more time he spent with his eldest niece, the more he admired her!

That's amazing!

The third princess was so angry her nose almost crooked.

How could Qi Zhiyu be so shameless?

"Chen'an, how could you say such a thing?" the Third Princess angrily rebuked. "Aren't you ashamed?"

Qi Zhiyu looked at her with considerable confusion: "I have the ability, I have the qualifications, why should I be ashamed?"

"To be honest, is there something you can't show your face to others?"

Prince Xin coughed lightly, otherwise he really would have laughed out loud.

My brother is so lucky to have such an interesting daughter. He's really envious!

"You, you..." The Third Princess trembled with anger, her vision blurring.
