Wealth and glory seek stability

Jian Xi sighed softly, her voice as thin as a thread, ethereal and far away: "But there is no general defending the city in Saibei."

Gao Yunhuai was surprised, "Shen Nanxing is in Qinliu Villa now. You can write a letter to him and ask him to go to Saibei. He is familiar with this place."

Jian Xi turned her head, frowning slightly, a little confused, "Qinliu Villa?"

Zhang Cen'er opened her red lips and said, "The Cangzhou Academy of the White Tiger Dynasty is well-known throughout the world. The dean, Liu Fuyao, is a great writer of the time. Qinliu Villa is his property. It is rumored that anyone who enters Qinliu Villa cannot take action against him, even if an enemy comes to chase him. Otherwise, he will be regarded as an enemy of the Liu family."

Jian Xi understood. Cangzhou Academy was where Dongfang Wenying's two younger brothers studied, so they would probably be safer there.

"Okay, then I'll write a letter to my brother." Jian Xi made some calculations in her mind. Compared to others, there was no one in the world who made her feel more at ease than Shen Nanxing.

The Xia Kingdom wanted to borrow troops, and Zhang Cener was needed to raise food and fodder.

Zhang Cen'er stared at the IOU in his hand and said helplessly, "We have known each other for such a long time, are you so worried about me?"

Jian Xi looked nonchalant, "Even brothers have to settle accounts. I've risked my life and property this time. If you lose, you'll die. If you win, I'll take it back with interest."

Zhang Cen'er remained silent and had no words to say.

He still used his thumb to touch the ink pad and stamped it on the contract.

Jian Xi was telling the truth, but it just sounded so awkward.

"The Sixth Princess and I have something to discuss. Qingxi is in the backyard. I'll have someone take you there." Jian Xi looked up at Gao Yunhuai and then remembered that there was such a person. She called out, "Someone come here."

"grown ups."

"Send him to Qingyuan." Jian Xi thought about it and decided that it would be more appropriate to call him "him".

Gao Yunhuai raised his eyebrows. He? He pondered over the word with a hint of amusement, then followed the attendant and left.

Qingyuan was the name given by Jian Xi. The flowers, plants and trees in it were all rare treasures moved from various places. A small swing and garden were also specially built in the courtyard. Gao Qingxi had her own princess room.

Jian Xi poured everything she had always wanted but never got as a child into Gao Qingxi.

All kinds of things, as long as Gao Qingxi wanted them, would be collected from all over the world.

Her daughter was born to enjoy happiness.

Jane Xi did not follow the scientific parenting philosophy of later generations. She had a hard life in the first half of her life, and she did not want her daughter to follow the same path.

If possible, she would also like to be a useless person who has no worries about food and clothing.

Sunny Garden.

The wall outside was very high. The servant knocked on the door and it was Mother Xing who opened it.

Mother Xing was surprised, but then she smiled and said, "Master, the young lady is taking a nap now, please come in."

Gao Yunhuai knew that Jian Xi had given birth to a daughter and named her Qingxi, which means bright and brilliant.

"Thank you for leading the way." Gao Yunhuai nodded slightly.

Mother Xing brought Gao Yunhuai inside, and the entire Qingyuan scene came into view.

The yard is very large, with a small spring in the middle, which houses many carp of different colors.

"There are still carp at this time of year?" Gao Yunhuai pointed at the pond.

Mother Xing explained, "Those are the fish fry that Second Master found in the capital specifically for Miss. I heard that they can survive in extremely cold places. Miss really likes them."

The stems and leaves of the lotus above the pond were pure white, and the opened petals looked like condensed ice crystals. Gao Yunhuai knew that it was the ice lotus from the Far North, and one was worth a fortune.

Looking around, all the flowers and plants in the yard are ordinary ones. Even the swing is a smaller size, which has always been specially modified for children.

Gao Yunhuai seemed to be thinking about something.

Walking around the front hall, Mother Xing opened a pink crystal-inlaid door and said, "The young lady is inside. She will wake up soon and it will be time for dinner. Would the master like to have dinner with her?"

Gao Yunhuai nodded, "Okay."

The room was filled with pink and white gauze curtains. Gao Yunhuai looked down at his own clothes and felt that there was nothing wrong with them, so he walked forward with confidence.

On the big round bed lay a small figure with a round face and long eyelashes, motionless.

Gao Yunhuai suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

This is the person who is related to him by blood, the only relative he has in this world besides Jian Xi.

A tear fell.

Gao Yunhuai quietly looked at Gao Qingxi's sleeping face and felt that he could never look enough.

He took out a longevity lock from his arms, which was a gift from his father when he was a child.

The word "long life" is engraved on the simple Ruyi cloud pattern. With the financial resources of the Gao family, they can get any precious materials they want. However, Gao's father once said that children's necks are tender and it is not good to use heavy gold objects. Therefore, a small Ruyi lock made of pure red gold was used.

Gao Qingxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, she kicked the quilt with her short legs, and slowly opened her eyes.

"Who are you?"

Gao Yunhuai's eyes were erratic. He was at a loss for words after debating with many scholars in the court. He smiled and said, "I am your father."

"Daddy?" A childish voice uttered these two simple words. Gao Yunhuai felt that they were more beautiful than the sound of nature.

"Hey." He raised the golden lock in his hand, "This is a gift from daddy. Do you like it?"

Gao Qingxi stretched out her short little hand and said, "Hug me. I like it."

Gao Yunhuai shook his hands, put the golden lock around Gao Qingxi's neck, rubbed his fingers, and didn't know how to start.

"Oh, I guessed that the young lady would wake up by now, and indeed she is." Mother Xing smiled with wrinkles on her face.

"Grandma, hold me." The little guy's eyes were watery after just waking up, like a little deer in the woods.

Gao Yunhuai looked at those eyes that seemed to be carved from the same mold as Jian Xi's, and his heart was even more tender, "Let me hold her, you teach me."

He has an amazing learning ability and he learned it after his mother Xing only explained it once.

He stretched out his arms and let the little person sit in his arms.

Mother Xing took the father and daughter to eat.

Gao Yunhuai felt the softness in his arms, his heart melted, and he didn't want to let go at any moment.

As for others, they have long been forgotten.

Shangguan Yao stayed in the courtyard where Jian Xi was placed and asked the maid, "Where is Gao Yunhuai who came with me now?"

"I don't know."

"Where is the woman who brought me to this compound?"

"Mrs. Chu Lu is a female official in the inner house of the chief government office. She usually has a lot of things to deal with. I don't know where she is right now."

"I don't care, otherwise tell the woman in white to come see me."

The maid bowed and said, "That's our master. If the young lady wants to see him, I will report it. But the master is busy, so I don't know whether he can see the young lady or not."

Shangguan Yao looked annoyed and said, "Get lost."

The maid bowed, withdrew, and turned to report to Chu Lu.

Upon hearing this, Chu Lu threw a silver bean to the maid, "Well done, provide her with good food and drink. Remember, if she wants to find someone, just say she doesn't know."

The maid accepted the reward and said happily, "Yes."

Chu Lu waved her hand to let the maid leave. "Humph, if you want to snatch a man from our master, wait for the next life."
