Chapter 353: There is nothing useful, but I found one gossip
Behind the screen stands a maroon carved bathtub.
The bathtub is much larger than usual, and it looks like it can accommodate several people at the same time.
Next to the bathtub is a soft couch, and next to the couch is a wooden shelf.
There are things of all sizes on the wooden shelves.
Those things...
When Qin Wan saw those things, a black line slid across his forehead.
Small whips, candles, and um... all kinds of indescribable things. The Empress Dowager Cixi had a lot of fun with them.
After seeing those things, Qin Wan finally understood why the bed and bathtub were placed in the secret room.
The Empress Dowager Cixi probably had a male favorite.
However, there was no one in the secret room at that time, and it was very likely that the male favorite was among the people serving the Empress Dowager Cixi.
This is the private life of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and Qin Wan is not interested in gossiping about who her male favorite is.
She searched the secret room carefully but found no evidence to prove that the Empress Dowager Cixi was related to the Changsheng Cult.
After his mental power left the Empress Dowager Cixi's inner hall, Qin Wan couldn't help but frown.
After coming here, I discovered a lot of gossip in the harem, but I didn't find anything useful.
Could it be that Jiang Defu was worrying too much?
Qin Wan decided to come again tomorrow during the day to see if he could find anything useful.
The next day, Qin Wan left the palace servants and quietly went to Shoukang Palace on the pretext of appreciating flowers in the imperial garden.
After staring for a while, I only heard the Empress Dowager Cixi cursing angrily.
He cursed the Empress Dowager Dong for being immortal, the Empress for being a bitch, Prince Ding's family, and even the Emperor.
Directly saying that the emperor is unfilial.
Maybe he made a fool of himself at the banquet yesterday and is still in a bad mood today.
After cursing, he found reasons to punish a few servants, and Shoukang Palace finally became a little quieter.
Qin Wan stared for a while, but it was still a day without any useful gains.
There was some useless gossip, which was that Qin Wan discovered that the Empress Dowager Cixi was behaving very intimately with a man dressed as a eunuch beside her.
It seems that most of them are fake eunuchs and real male concubines.
There was no gain, and the eldest prince's wife and her entourage were still waiting outside the palace to say goodbye.
The next afternoon, Qin Wan found an excuse to say goodbye to the queen and left the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, a small cannonball rushed towards Qin Wan.
Qin Wan smiled and opened her arms to catch the little girl.
"Sister Wanwan, Jiajia finally sees you. Jiajia thought she would never see Sister Wanwan again before she left."
The little girl hugged Qin Wan's arm and acted coquettishly.
Qin Wan pulled out a jewel-studded dagger from her bosom as if by magic.
"Here, this is a farewell gift from my sister. Do you like it?"
The eldest princess who followed did not recognize the dagger, but she recognized the mark engraved on the handle of the dagger.
It is an eagle spreading its wings ready to fly, and is the unique symbol of the Eagle Tribe.
Zhang Chuan knew the origin of this dagger.
It was given to Qin Wan by the old chief of the Eagle Tribe.
On behalf of the Eagle Tribe to express gratitude to Qin Wan.
As long as Qin Wan appears in Beixiang and takes out this dagger, other tribes will know that Qin Wan is protected by the Eagle Tribe.
Now Wanwan gave this dagger to Jiajia, which means that Wanwan gave Jiajia the protection of the Eagle Tribe.
Now the Second Prince is in charge of Beixiang.
Without the protection of the eldest prince, Jia Jia and the eldest prince's wife are orphans and widows, and are very likely to be bullied in Beixiang.
Qin Wan gave the dagger to Jia Jia, which showed that she was protecting Jia Jia and the eldest prince's wife and her daughter.
"Wanwan, uncle thanks you on behalf of Jiajia."
Zhang Chuan said gratefully.
Qin Wan waved her hand indifferently:
"Jia Jia is my sister, Qin Wan. It's only natural for an elder sister to give something to her younger sister."
The tiny Jia Jia stood in the middle and did not reach out to take the dagger.
Instead, he looked at Zhang Chuan for a while, and then at the eldest prince's wife.
It was obvious that although the little girl was young, when she saw her uncle's serious expression, she knew that the dagger given to her by Sister Wanwan was not simple.
The little girl didn't know whether she should answer it.
The troubled little girl's brows were wrinkled into the shape of a caterpillar, and Qin Wan was touched by her adorable look.
I rubbed her hairy little head with amusement:
"Take the things my sister gives you quickly, or I'll be angry."
"No, sister, don't be angry, Jiajia just take it."
The little girl quickly took the dagger and gave Qin Wan a big smile.
"Thank you, Sister Wanwan. When Jiajia makes money in the future, she will buy gifts for Sister Wanwan."
"You only bought a gift for your sister Wanwan, but not for your brother?"
Qin Jingnian's sour voice sounded at the door.
Jia Jia happily rushed over and gave Qin Jingnian a warm bear hug, chattering:
"Buy, of course for Brother Jingnian. Jiajia will not only buy for Brother Jingnian, but also for godfather and godmother, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Great-grandmother Qin, Brother Jingrui, cousin, uncle, and mother."
The little girl counted on her fingers as she spoke, afraid of missing one.
That cute little look made Qin Jingnian laugh out loud.
"I never thought that there would be a day when a five-year-old girl would draw pie in the sky for me, hahahaha."
The eldest prince's wife also knew the weight of the dagger from Zhang Chuan's whispered explanation.
She looked at Qin Wan with gratitude, then turned around and went to do something unknown.
The group walked to the main hall, chatting and laughing.
Upon hearing that his granddaughter had returned from the palace, Prince Ding also walked leisurely from the study to the main hall.
Dinner will be served soon. Qin Jingnian touched Su Jiajia's little head and said proudly:
"Jia Jia will be leaving for Bei Xiang tomorrow. Let's go to a restaurant today. Just tell me what you want to eat. Brother Jing Nian will treat you."
Jia Jia frowned and thought carefully, "Brother Jingnian, do we have to eat outside? Can we eat at home?"
Qin Jingnian raised his eyebrows:
"Jia Jia wants to eat at home? Of course, what do you want to eat?"
“I want to eat kebabs!”
Jia Jia said excitedly.
Before meeting Qin Wan's family, Jia Jia and her cousin suffered a lot.
When I was hungry, I even ate grass roots.
After meeting Qin Wan's family, Jia Jia and her cousin ate a lot of delicious food.
But what Su Jiajia remembers most is the grilled skewers sold in front of Su’s snack shop in Chizhou County.
That was the first time she and her cousin tasted this delicious dish.
"Okay, let's eat skewers."
Qin Jingnian made the decision and ordered his servants to prepare the ingredients for the barbecue.
Worried that he would not be full from the skewers, he went to a hotpot restaurant and ordered a table of hotpot to be delivered to the palace.
The fun of grilling skewers lies in the fact that you have to thread the skewers yourself.
The prepared ingredients were placed in the yard, and everyone was getting ready to cook them.
The eldest prince's wife who had just left came back with a brocade box in her hand.
Qin Wan rolled up her sleeves and was about to put on the beads when the eldest prince's wife walked up to her with a grateful look on her face.
"Wanwan, your family's kindness in taking care of Jiajia and Jingze is already difficult for us to repay, and now you have given Jiajia such a precious dagger.
The things in this box are just a little gift from me, they are not very precious, please don’t despise them, Wanwan.”
Qin Wan thought there was some jewelry in the box, so she took it without further ado.
Who knew that when he opened it, there was a land deed inside.
The title deed to Beixiang.
Qin Wan thought of the endless grasslands of Beixiang and wondered if the eldest prince's wife had given her a pasture.
