Chapter 900: I Like Them

Seeing that she liked it, Yin Huaixi’s smile deepened. “Anshan is rich in jade materials. The people of Anshan have lived in Anshan for generations and are proficient in many lost jade crafts. I also learned it from the local people.”

He was proficient in jade carving to begin with. No matter how difficult the craftsmanship of the silk jade was, it would not change. Now that he knew the method and had the right tools, it was not difficult to learn.

However, silk jade was not easy to make. A finished product would take at least a month, or even months. As soon as he arrived at Anshan, he started making it. It took more than a month.

Yu Youyao quickly said, “Thank you, Nineteenth Brother.”

Yin Huaixi took the red pine wooden box from the bed table and slowly opened it. “The Xiuyan jade is extremely transparent and the color is pure and bright. I made you a set of makeup boxes.”

Yu Youyao was quickly attracted by the exquisitely carved containers of different sizes and shapes in the box.

They were made to be thin. They were as thin as an eggsh.e.l.l and resembled gla.s.s. They were flawless. “Use these containers to store the usual brow powder, lipstick, balm, makeup, and so on. It will definitely look good.”

After the surprise, Yu Youyao couldn’t help but glare at him. “You’re already so busy. You don’t even have time to rest. Why are you still helping me make this?”

She expressed her duplicity vividly.

Yin Huaixi held back his laughter. “You’ve been in Xiangping for so long, but I haven’t had time to accompany you. I just hope that you’ll be happier when you receive the gift.”

Yu Youyao smiled.

At this moment, Chun Xiao came over. “Young Miss, the medicinal bath has been prepared. Your Highness, please move to The Green House.”

Yin Huaixi’s gaze darkened. “The Green House?”

For some reason, Yu Youyao felt a little fl.u.s.tered by his deep gaze. “There are many courtyards in the Yu Garden, so 1 prepared a small courtyard for you and Brother Si in the front courtyard. I named it after the small courtyard you used to have in the Yu Residence. It’ll be more convenient for you to travel usually…”

Actually, she also knew that this was a little inappropriate.

She and Yu Shansi were siblings of the same blood. It was necessary to prepare a courtyard for him.

However, Yin Huaixi was an outsider. Even though the people of Liaodong were valiant, they still had to maintain the etiquette between men and women.

When she was preparing the courtyard, she did not think of anything messy. It was just a thought. In addition, Yin Huaixi would come and go from the Yu Garden in the future, so it was convenient to have a place to stay.

After all, she was a Princess. Ordinary etiquette teachings could not restrain her. Even if there was something wrong, as long as she avoided it in front of others, it was fine.

Now that he had “looked at” her, she suddenly felt so embarra.s.sed that she couldn’t resist his gaze. She couldn’t help but lower her head. “I— I’ve asked my Grandmother. She said that I’m already a Princess. The entire Yu Garden is heavily guarded, and the servants have also been carefully selected after careful training. The commoners in the Liaodong area are deeply influenced by the Northern Barbarians. As they suffer from the war all year round and the n.o.bles are rampant, they don’t pay too much attention to etiquette and teachings, so I don’t have to be too restricted.”

However, although her grandmother did not object, she did not support it. This was how she and Yin Huaixi had interacted in the Yu Residence in the past. Now, it was clearly impossible to ask them to be distant and avoid each other.

After all, they had an alliance, and the Xie family was unwilling to distance themselves from her.

Therefore, her grandmother had privately warned her that it was not impossible for her to get close to Yin Huaixi in private. However, they could not do things that single men and women did together.

Yin Huaixi’s smile deepened. “Old Madam is right. Cousin’s arrangements are really…” He leaned closer to Yu Youyao and lowered his voice, revealing a smile. “l like them!”

Yu Youyao looked a little fl.u.s.tered. “As long as you like it!” Without waiting for Yin Huaixi to reply, she quickly stood up. “I— I’ll go to the small kitchen to take a look first.’

As she spoke, she was about to leave.

Yin Huaixi held her hand again.

Perhaps because she was too nervous, Yu Youyao subconsciously struggled twice and was a little angry. “What are you doing?!”

Yin Huaixi suddenly said, “What I want to accept is the commoners who really want to settle down and live well, not morally and heartlessly animals.”

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment before she immediately reacted. Yin Huaixi was explaining to her. She burst out laughing. “You also said that those people are morally depraved and no longer worthy of being called humans. Why would I be angry with you for the sake of animals?” As she spoke, she pursed her lips and said unhappily, “Could it be that in your eyes, I’m that kind of person?”

Yin Huaixi couldn’t help but suffocate. He suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

Yu Youyao narrowed her eyes at him with an unfriendly expression.

Yin Huaixi braced himself and said, “The refugees in the camp have all fled from all over the country. There are more than a million refugees gathered in Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia. Their language, customs, and living habits are different. In order to survive, they formed cliques. Due to all kinds of friction, there have been many violent conflicts, and many innocent people have died.”

Yu Youyao pursed her lips. She had not considered this question before.

Yin Huaixi said, “It’s impossible for the You army to manage everything. Even if they manage the two million refugees, they won’t be able to manage them all. The government has limited manpower, so they might not be able to control them. Moreover, our supplies are limited. Let them eliminate themselves and integrate themselves. We can naturally eliminate a group of restless people and leave more supplies to those who need them more. Although it’s very cruel, if we can’t kill some potential threats in the refugee camps, there will be endless trouble in the future.”

The law did not punish everyone. How could a group of people be held accountable for their crimes?

They werey just some trivial matters. One party said that they were in the right, while the other party said that they were also in the right. It was difficult for an honest official to resolve family matters. How should they be dealt with?

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to care, but she couldn’t.

Meanwhile, the refugees had endured hunger and cold all the way to Liaodong. Everyone was holding back their anger. If they did not flare up, it would cause a disaster in the future.

This was the truth of the refugee camp. There were disputes every day, and many people died every day. However, Yu Youyao couldn’t say that Yin Huaixi was wrong.

In fact, she knew very well that this was the most appropriate thing to do. In the end, she was too naive. Yu Youyao sighed softly. “l understand.”

Yin Huaixi heaved a sigh of relief. “l don’t think you’re muddle-headed. I’m just worried that you’ll feel terrible when you find out about this.”

If one wanted to inherit merit, they had to inherit its weight.

As soon as Yu Youyao stepped into the territory of Liaodong, she knew that she had the reputation of a living Bodhisattva in the Liaodong area. She knew very well that her status as a Princess was not so much a gift from the Imperial Court as a gift from the commoners. It was precisely because she was so famous in Liaodong that the Imperial Court did not dare to be negligent.

Therefore, she racked her brains to make a living for the refugees.

She had spent a lot of effort on the refugees. No one hoped more than her that the refugees could settle down in Liaodong and not suffer from famine
