Qingyao whispered to Chunyu beside her, "Chunyu, you should quickly go to my private storehouse and search carefully to see if there are any jade pendants in it. If there are, no matter what their material or style, you must find them all for me. Remember not to miss any one!" After that, Qingyao waved her hand gently, signaling Chunyu to go and do the work quickly.

Chunyu asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, you asked me to find the jade pendant, don't you want to send it to the Emperor?"

Qingyao: "You are the only one who can guess my thoughts. Although I don't know which jade pendant Yinzhen stole from Chenghu, I should still give it to Chenghu."

Chunyu replied respectfully, "Yes, your majesty, I will go and look for it right away." After that, she bent her knees slightly and saluted, then slowly turned and left the room.

Qingyao walked gracefully to Kangxi and said, "My dear, I wonder if I can see our princes tomorrow? I haven't seen them for a long time, and I miss them so much."

Kangxi raised his hand with a smile, and gently yet firmly embraced Qingyao in his arms. He looked down at her beautiful face and asked softly, "Qingqing, do you miss our princes?" As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tenderness and concern, as if he could see through her eyes the longing deep in her heart.

Qingyao opened her red lips and said, "Yes, I really miss the princes. The same goes for Concubine De. Somehow her own prince has made our Chenghu angry, and yet she has the nerve to come to you, my husband, to complain! This is really annoying." After saying that, Qingyao shook her head slightly.

Kangxi frowned slightly after hearing this, "It is indeed inappropriate for Concubine De to do this. I have already investigated it thoroughly and reprimanded her. As for meeting the prince tomorrow, I have approved it." Qingyao showed a hint of joy on her face when she heard this, and she leaned into Kangxi's arms and thanked him softly.

Not long after, Chunyu hurried back with a brocade box in her hand, "Your Majesty, these are all the jade pendants found in the private treasury." Qingyao took it and opened it to check.

The next day, Qingyao met her sons. She took Chenghu's hand, took out a brocade box and handed it to him, "Tuantuan, these are the jade pendants from my private collection. I give them to you. No matter who bullies you, I will protect you." Chenghu happily accepted it.

Cheng Hu held the jade pendant, his eyes sparkling, and thanked her happily: "Thank you, mother."

Qingyao looked at Yinqi and Yinxiang and said, "Seventh and Fourteenth, remember to help your brother more and don't cause him any trouble."

Yinqi nodded obediently: "Don't worry, mother, I will listen to you." Yinxiang blinked mischievously: "Mother, I know, but if my brother bullies me, I will fight back." Everyone smiled.

Qingyao: "You, your brother is too busy with government affairs to bully you."

At this moment, a young eunuch hurried over. "Your Majesty, Concubine De requests an audience." Qingyao sneered, "She's quite bold. Let her in." After entering the hall, Concubine De first bowed to Kangxi, then looked at Qingyao and said with a forced smile, "Sister, you're in a good mood today and even gathered all the princes together." Qingyao replied calmly, "This is with the permission of His Majesty. Do you have any objections?" Concubine De's face changed, and she quickly apologized, "Sister, you were joking. I was reckless in what happened yesterday. I hope you won't take it to heart." Qingyao played with the handkerchief in her hand, "Sister, since you know you were wrong, don't act like this again. My prince also has a mother. How dare a younger brother take his elder brother's things?"

Concubine De gritted her teeth, a flicker of resentment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. "Sister, what you are teaching me is that I will definitely discipline Yinzhen properly. However, Sister, you have gone to such great lengths to give the Emperor so many jade pendants. I'm afraid that this will cause the other princes to feel unbalanced."

Qingyao chuckled, "Sister, that's strange. I love my own children, so why should it concern others? Besides, my Chenghu has always been generous and wouldn't care about these material things. Besides, all the princes here are my own, so I won't feel unbalanced."

Defei was speechless and could only stand there awkwardly. Seeing this, Kangxi frowned slightly and said, "Okay, this matter is your fault, Defei. Admit your mistake and make amends to the Queen."
