“What are you looking at?”

Xiao Yeyang walked out of the house and saw Daohua stretching her neck, looking around.

Daohua, “I was wondering where the Hidden Guard had hidden.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang immediately laughed, “If the Hidden Guard could be easily found by you, then he would not qualify as a Hidden Guard.”

Daohua thought about it and felt it made sense. She smiled at Xiao Yeyang and said, “I’ve given that Hidden Guard a name; from now on, he will be called Yan Ying.”

Xiao Yeyang didn’t care much, “He’s your man now, you can let him be called whatever you want.”

...

Daohua glanced at Wu Jingyi sitting in the house, and after thinking, she said, “Xiao Yeyang, is that Mr. Wu here by the Emperor’s command to search for the gold mines?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded.

Daohua, “Since the Emperor has sent someone to search for the gold mines, you and my third brother and fourth brother shouldn’t muddy the waters anymore.”

Seeing the worry in Daohua’s eyes, Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, “Two days ago, I learned that Uncle Duke’s men were also looking for the gold mines, so I sent your two brothers back to the military camp and stopped them from continuing.”

Daohua heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, listening to Mr. Wu’s words, the gold mine involved the interests of the Jiang Family and Duke, and if the Yan Family got involved and were discovered, she feared they would face trouble.

“What about you, then? Are you going to continue the search?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, “Uncle Emperor is governing Beijing and cannot attend to this matter, so as his nephew, I should take on some of his worries.”

Daohua expressed her concern, “The Duke’s men even dared to assassinate Mr. Wu, then you…”

Xiao Yeyang interrupted with a smile, “Don’t worry, after all, I am a Prince’s son; Uncle Duke’s men wouldn’t dare.”

Daohua, “You shouldn’t be careless, it’s better to be cautious. It would be best not to search for it yourself.”

Xiao Yeyang laughed, “If I don’t search for it myself, what will happen to your position as a county princess?”

Daohua shook her head, “Forget it, I dare not think about any position as a county princess right now.” As she spoke, her face fell into a sigh, “Whenever Imperial Family matters are involved, things become complicated.”

“Searching for gold mines, whoever finds them achieves great merit and rewards. Such a straightforward matter becomes dangerous and bloody when it comes to the Imperial Family. How could I dare to join in?”

Xiao Yeyang’s expression also became somber, “That’s because the interests involved with the Imperial Family are too great.”

With the Duke’s involvement, the search for the gold mines became more urgent.

That same afternoon, Wu Jingyi, despite his injuries, left with Xiao Yeyang.

Daohua saw them off and stayed at Taohua Temple for a few days until Granny Gu’s cough eased, then returned to the Yan Residence.

…

In mid-October, the first snow of the season fell over Ningmen Prefecture.

The snow fell heavily. That afternoon, on Yan Yile’s suggestion, the young ladies in the house started building snowmen in the old lady’s courtyard.

Daohua, dressed in a sky-blue feather gauze with a white fox fur lining and a Crane Cloak, stood under the eaves of the corridor, stretching out her hand and letting the snowflakes fall into her palm. She didn’t join in the playful antics in the courtyard due to concerns weighing on her mind.

“It’s so cold today, Xiao Yeyang shouldn’t still be traveling outside searching for the gold mines, right?”

“What are you muttering to yourself, girl?” Hearing the laughter from the courtyard, the old lady Yan came out of the house, draped in a thick cloak. Seeing Daohua standing alone under the eaves, her lips moving up and down, she couldn’t help but smile and ask.

Daohua smiled and walked over, supporting the old lady, “I was just saying how heavy the snow is this year.”

Old lady Yan looked at the snow outside and nodded with a smile, “A timely snow promises a good harvest; I hope the weather will be favorable next year.” She said, and then looked at the young ladies in the courtyard, “You’re unusually quiet today, why not go play?”

Daohua tightened her Crane Cloak, “It’s bitterly cold.”

Seeing her granddaughter looking uninterested, old lady Yan did not press further.
