The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Soon, news spread that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were assassinated outside the palace while going out for the Lantern Festival.

This matter could not be concealed, not only because there were ordinary people on the streets, but also because the ministers in the court were well-informed and kept a close eye on what was happening in the palace.

Qin Wan and Little Lion returned to the East Palace first, while Zhao Zhen was called away by the Emperor.

Qin Wan didn't care about Zhao Zhen either. Besides that he was busy, she also knew that he was going to investigate the assassination.

Before Zhao Zhen left, he told Qin Wan not to wait for him. He would not go back to Yichun Palace to sleep at night and might be busy in the next few days.

Qin Wan was mentally prepared. After Zhao Zhen left, Qin Wan washed up and went to bed with the little lion.

I will sleep with the little lion tonight because I am afraid he will have nightmares at night. After all, if he encounters an assassination, I am afraid he will have a trauma in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the little lion slept until dawn and did not even get up in the middle of the night.

The next day, when Qin Wan opened her eyes, she saw the little lion who had woken up.

"Mother, why did you just wake up?"

Qin Wan looked at the little lion's sparkling eyes, stretched out her hand, and hugged the little lion in her arms, "Little lion, why did you wake up so early?"

The little lion pointed out the window and said, "Look, mother, it's already daybreak outside. Mother is such a lazy bum!"

Qin Wan saw that it was indeed daybreak. "It's really getting late. Let's get up!"

The little lion nodded heavily, "Mom, I'll go to Daming Palace to see Tiger Head later. I haven't played with it for a long time!"

The little lion doesn't have to go to Hongwenguan to study today, so he only has time to play in the morning.

"Okay, I'll go with you then!"

Qin Wan and Little Lion were helped by palace maids to put on their clothes. After their hair was done up, they took a look at Little Lion's hair.

Maybe the little lion's hair could be dealt with.

"Miaoyu, braid the little lion's hair, too!"

When Qin Wan was combing her hair, the little lion sat on a small stool and watched with his head tilted.

In the eyes of the little lion, mother is the most beautiful mother.

Seeing the palace maid bunting Qin Wan's hair, he thought it was amazing, "Mother, my hair is so short, can I also bun it up?"

The little lion lifted up his hair in front of his forehead, looking surprised.

Miaoyu also glanced at the little lion and said, "Crown Princess, it's a little difficult to braid the little emperor's hair. It's too short."

The little lion's hair grows very slowly because it is curly, which is different from normal people's hair.

In fact, Qin Wan also had doubts about her own identity. Ever since Princess Shang pointed out to her at the palace banquet that she looked like the former Princess Cheng, Xia, she still doubted her relationship with Xia.

However, when she thought about the fact that the little lion inherited the Qin family's genes, she knew that she was definitely not Princess Cheng's child, Xia.

However, the Qin family's curly hair gene may also be inherited from overseas.

Maybe it was something that the Qin family's ancestors had. Although my eldest cousin Qin Xiao's hair was normal, his nose bridge was particularly high. The two brothers of the Qin family still had some foreign genes.

Qin Wan has seen many mixed-race children in modern times, and she thinks they are very cute.

I just don’t know which ancestor of the Qin family married a foreigner, causing the genes of his descendants to change.

Seeing Miaoyu at a loss, Qin Wan said, "Let me show you how to do it. You can learn from me and braid the hair of your grandsons in the future."

"Yes, Princess!"

Qin Wan had seen the way black people braid their hair, so based on her memory, she braided the little lion's hair one strand at a time, then tied it into a small bun on the top of the head.

The little lion's entire face was now exposed. He looked at himself in the bronze mirror and said, "Mom, I like the way I am now!"

It’s not that the little lion disliked the way he was before, it’s just that it was different from other children and made him feel like an alien.

But his hair was short before and grew too slowly, so even if he tied it up, he could only tie a big bun on the top of his head. The hair elsewhere on his head was still curled and sticking up.

The little lion was very distressed about this. As he was still young, he already knew what was beautiful and what was ugly. He felt that he was not good-looking or handsome in the past.

Now he looks a lot like his dad.

The little lion looked at the bronze mirror, bared its teeth, and laughed.

"Miaoyu, from now on, tie the emperor's grandson's hair like this."

Miaoyu was the one who did Qin Wan's hair, and she really learned it in one go. "Yes, Madam!"

Qin Wan and the little lion finished their breakfast and gave Hutou a snack. Then they left the little lion to accompany Hutou to have fun in the Daming Palace while she returned to Yichun Palace.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Gao has been waiting for you for a long time."

Qin Wan nodded, "Okay!"

Qin Wan walked into the hall. Eunuch Gao saw that there was no little lion behind Qin Wan. Thinking of the assassination of the prince's family yesterday, he asked anxiously, "Madam, are you and the little grandson okay?"

Qin Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Gao. Little Lion and I are fine. He is playing with Tiger Head in Daming Palace now!"

Eunuch Gao finally put his mind at ease. The reason why he went out these days was because he was busy with Qin Wan's workshop outside.

The watch workshop needed to be expanded. Qin Wan's parents' home was empty and she couldn't go out by herself, so many things needed to be done by Eunuch Gao himself.

Eunuch Gao took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom and said, "Congratulations, Crown Princess. Chao Xi Tang's business is booming. On the first day of opening, all the clocks in the store were sold out. Here are the remaining banknotes and accounts!"

Qin Wan placed the stack of banknotes on the table, then picked up the account book and flipped through it casually. "Yesterday when we left the palace, we also looked outside the store. The clock is indeed very popular, but the store is out of stock. How much goods are left in the workshop?"

"Madam, there are only 50 pieces of the three models left in the workshop. I sent someone to deliver them to Manager Cao early this morning.

In addition, I have asked the workshop manager to recruit craftsmen as soon as possible to make more clocks."

Qin Wan nodded, "Uncle Gao did a great job!"

Qin Wan took out a 100-liang silver note and handed it to Eunuch Gao, "Uncle Gao, this is for you! You have worked hard during this period."

Eunuch Gao quickly refused, "How can I say it's hard work to work for the Majesty! I can't accept this banknote!"

"Take it, exchange it for silver coins, or keep it as a reward for others!"

There are many slaves and maids in the palace, but when the emperor has no money and is not favored, even the slaves and maids dare to step on him.

Eunuch Gao no longer refused and took the banknote, "Thank you, Madam!"

Qin Wan took out a few more clock design drawings at this time, "Uncle Gao, send these design drawings to the workshop as well. This time we can make more large-sized clocks, and the materials can also be changed according to the craftsmen's preference."

Eunuch Gao took the blueprint, looked at it for a few seconds, and was surprised. "Your Majesty is very talented. We can also add the price for a clock like this."

Qin Wan smiled slightly. That was what she was thinking. "Okay, let's arrange for the workshop to do it as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"
