Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

I was sold out?!

Everyone present was taken aback.

Even the most disciplined Granny Jin asked her one more question: "Have you found it yet?"

"Not yet." Suoyu shook her head, her face showing heartache. "So many years have passed, and the world is so vast. I don't know where to look for her. Besides, I have nothing of value, and it's difficult for me to go out. So I returned to secular life to earn some money. If I hear any news, I will go to find her."

"I have been practicing in the temple for many years, and my life has been peaceful. I have read some books and have become quite knowledgeable. That's why I am teaching you ladies and telling stories to earn some money."

Qin Yizhen asked her, "Is your child a boy or a girl? How old is he now? What's his name? Does he have any distinctive features?"

Suoyu said, "It's a girl. If she's still alive, she'd be about eighteen. I don't know if she's married or not. When she was little, she had a nickname, Yinyin, like the 'lush green grass' in the picture. She bumped into something when she was little, and she has a scar on her forehead..."

Suoyu recounted everything she could remember.

Her frequent visits to these aristocratic families were not only for the purpose of making some money, but also for a selfish reason: she hoped that one day she would meet a kind-hearted benefactor who would help her find her unfortunate child.

Qin Yizhen thought for a moment and said, "Have you asked the Jingzhao Prefecture if they can help us find it?"

Suoyu shook her head: "I have been to the Jingzhao Prefecture, but more than ten years have passed, and the Jingzhao Prefecture is unable to find anyone there."

If she had been missing for more than ten days, she would have reported it to the police, and the Jingzhao Prefecture would have certainly done its best to help. But more than ten years have passed, and the Jingzhao Prefecture can no longer afford to spend so much manpower and resources to find her.

Qin Yizhen shook her head inwardly upon hearing this. More than a decade had passed; it was probably impossible to find him in the vast sea of ​​people.

However, if she sends people to search, even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack, it might still be possible to find it...

Qin Yi was somewhat tempted.

She has been living in the Pingxi Marquis's mansion for many years, and of her three thousand personal guards, only about twenty remain by her side. The rest are idle. If they could be assigned to do these things, it would be a good thing.

At least it can reunite a few more families who have been separated.

Qin Yizhen's thoughts raced, but she didn't mention it aloud. She simply said to Suoyu, "If you want to earn some money, I own quite a few shops. You can learn from Hongying and become a manager. It's better than teaching and storytelling."

Suoyu shook her head: "Thank you, Princess. If I need anything, I will ask you for help."

"Think about it yourself."

After Suoyu left, everyone present felt a little sad.

Granny Gui sighed, "More than ten years have passed. Even if that girl is still alive, we don't know where she is. It will be difficult for Mr. Suoyu to find her, especially since someone who wanted to take her away is probably no longer in Qindu."

Qin Yizhen reached up and frowned: "How common are cases of children going missing?"

Granny Gui said, "Not many, but occasionally one or two happen. Some are lucky enough to be found, but some, like this Miss Yinyin, can never be found again."

Qin Yizhen thought about it seriously and asked everyone, "What do you think about arranging for my personal guards to help find people since they are currently idle?"

“That’s not appropriate,” Granny Jin was the first to object. “The princess’s actions are indeed a good deed, but in this vast sea of ​​people, it’s not certain that she will be able to find the person. If she takes the case and then can’t find the person, these people might suspect that the princess is using these things to build her reputation and that she is a fraud.”

Hongying reached out and touched a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled, "I think it's a good idea."

Upon hearing this, Granny Jin frowned and was about to say something when Hongying added, "Granny Jin, don't be so quick to get angry. Since the princess is truly committed to this matter and doesn't care about fame or fortune, then it's best not to reveal that the princess arranged for someone to do it."

"In this way, even if things are not done well, others cannot blame the princess."

“That makes sense.” Qin Yizhen’s eyes lit up. “Then let’s arrange some people to do these things, starting with… let’s start with this Suoyu. Hongying, talk to the commander of the personal guards and ask him to make the arrangements, and then allocate some money to him.”

"Yes."

Having arranged all this, Qin Yizhen felt much better. She ate another half bowl of rice porridge before putting down her chopsticks.

Before long, guests arrived at the mansion, the first to arrive being the Lady of Wu'an Marquis and her daughter.

Lady Wu'an and Zhao Yutong arrived together, and after exchanging greetings, they sat down to talk with Qin Yizhen.

"Yutong received the princess's gift of thanks earlier and originally wanted to pay her a visit, but the princess prefers quiet, and we dared not disturb her at will, so we delayed for several days. Now that she has received the invitation, she is very happy."

At the palace banquet that day, Zhao Yutong spoke up for Qin Yizhen, pointing out that there was a problem with Fang Shixin's sachet. Afterwards, Qin Yizhen chose a pair of jade ruyi scepters and had them sent over as a thank-you gift.

May everything go as you wish.

She also hoped that Zhao Yutong would have a better life and never encounter an opponent like Fang Shixin again.

Qin Yizhen smiled and said to Lady Wu'an, "If she wants to come, she can come. I told her in the palace the other day that she could come whenever she wanted. I would be happy if she came to talk to me."

Then she looked at Zhao Yutong and said, "I have been looking forward to your arrival and have prepared a gift for you."

Finally, he asked Lü Qiao to make another trip to fetch the gift for Miss Yu Tong.

With four kingdoms in a tripartite balance of power and constant warfare, half of the country's money was used to support the army and fight wars. The remaining money was used to take care of people's livelihoods and to pay the salaries of officials and soldiers. Therefore, the royal family of Eastern Qin did not live a life of extravagance.

Princess Huizhen might be short of money, while Qin Yizhen, having gotten married, is considered wealthy, but she wouldn't be extravagant and spend money recklessly.

The scenario of giving a gold hairpin or bracelet to each person you meet is simply not possible.

This princess neither hoards wealth nor accepts gifts, but she also doesn't give gifts easily. Even if she meets someone she truly likes, she will only give them a gift in private, and she must appear impartial on the surface.

"Thank you, Princess." Zhao Yutong said respectfully, a hint of joy in her eyes.

Although Zhao Yutong was well-mannered and polite thanks to her mother's teachings, she was still just a twelve-year-old girl. Naturally, she was delighted to have won the princess's favor.

Lü Qiao quickly brought out a box and presented it to Zhao Yutong. Zhao Yutong thanked her again and resisted the urge to open the box.

Qin Yizhen smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here. If you are curious, just open it and take a look. See if what I chose suits your taste. There's no need to be too reserved."

This woman is destined to be an empress, and whether out of guilt or personal motives, Qin Yizhen wanted to befriend her.

"Thank you, Princess. Then I, Yutong, will be very rude."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yutong eagerly opened the lacquer box and saw a white jade flute inside. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"I am very pleased with this gift from the princess."
