After the matter was resolved, Qing Yan sat in the banquet tent with a gloomy face, pondering whether he should come up with more measures for Linglong Pavilion.

She scrunched up her little face, staring at the top of the tent, her mind replaying the incident.

Not only were the primary wives harmed, but some favored concubines were also schemed against by the primary wives. Was the reputation of Linglong Pavilion to be ruined by these people?

"Fourth Sister, do you think I'm too weak-willed, making these women think I have no temper?" Qingyan frowned, feeling extremely depressed.

Yin held her small hand, feeling somewhat conflicted.

The women of Mongolia were very direct in their struggles, and their ability to use headdresses as a weapon likely came from the primary wives who married into the Mongol family.

He could guess that these women probably thought that the dowry maids were all from the Imperial Household Department, and that all the primary wives were also surrounded by maids and servants from the Imperial Household Department, so their seven points were the same.

For the sake of their leadership, these people were no longer willing to back down.

"For power!?" Qingyan pouted. If her business were to have its reputation ruined, no amount of money could buy that.

In addition, many people know that Linglong Pavilion was opened by the Fourth Prince's wife. If she is even slightly careless, outsiders will shift the blame onto Yin.

From the Crown Prince's affairs, she could see that the ministers were all eyeing the princes. As the princes grew up, many ministers became more ambitious, and they began to vie for their daughters' affections by marrying their daughters to certain princes.

As the position of Yuqing Palace became increasingly unstable, the ministers began to ponder which prince should be chosen as the heir apparent.

Yin was an exception. His affection for Qingyan was the envy of the ministers. If any family's daughter could receive such favor from the princes, they would definitely stake their entire family's connections.

What Fei Yanggu and his two sons did for Yin is what everyone saw.

"Four... How many people have been causing trouble here for this right?" Qingyan looked down on these people who were using the women to try and drag Yin down with them.

Why should men's wars involve women's world?

"Little darling..." Yin didn't want to persuade her further. Qingyan's little head had already judged these people, and she definitely wouldn't listen to Yin's advice.

In addition, Consort Tong constantly instilled in Qingyan the power struggles within the royal family, and how the women would use any means necessary to pave the way for the men.

Compared to the couple, Yin was a difficult target, while Qingyan was different. Not only did she lack experience in domestic power struggles, but she was also soft-hearted, making her the easiest target to deal with.

"Hmph!" Qingyan turned her head to the other side, ignoring Yin's persuasive manner.

Since arriving on the grassland, Qingyan has never had a moment's peace; just one headdress caused a ruckus for several days.

Not only her, but even Consort Tong was harassed by the primary wives.

Sometimes, she even thought about closing down Linglong Pavilion. Would that prevent her from getting into any more trouble?

"Don't be angry, we need to play the long game!" Yin and Qingyan had said that no matter what happened in the future, the two of them could not hide anything.

Although reality is cruel, Yin did not want the little one to become a confused princess.

"Fine, I understand!" Qingyan said helplessly. "A lot of things were stolen from the Yuelai Inn, and no one knows yet which tribe did it!"

Qingyan thought of the innkeeper of Yuelai Inn and sent a message to the capital. The Mongolian grasslands were not peaceful. Each Yuelai Inn had its own style of decoration. Many of the furniture in the Yuelai Inns in Mongolia came from the Silk Road.

She put in a lot of effort for these things. Even the caravans that supplied goods to Yuelai Inn were personally gathered by the Ulanara family. In order to prevent Yuelai Inn from suffering losses, Fei Yanggu and his two sons went to great lengths.

Even these candidates were selected from the new army, and many of them had a life-or-death relationship with Eshuo and Saito.

"Little Darling, when did this happen? Why didn't you tell me anything?" Yin's face darkened. There were still people from Mongolia who were messing with the Yuelai Inn. It was clear that these people didn't take the royal family seriously.

Qingyan's small, flat mouth—was he blaming her?

"Don't be angry. In the future, if something like this happens, you must tell me clearly. You're not familiar with this place. If someone tries to cause trouble, it will end up falling on your father-in-law, right?" Yin saw that she was a little angry and quickly comforted her.

When a kitten gets all puffed up, you absolutely have to stroke its fur gently; Yin is an expert at this.

"Really?!" Qingyan didn't believe it. Could such trivial matters really make things difficult for her father?

"The Yuelai Inn is related to gathering information for the royal family. Do you think Father Emperor wouldn't take it seriously?" Qingyan was unaware that among the miscellaneous information sent by the Yuelai Inn, there were indeed some very useful pieces of information.

Previously, Qingyan only treated those trivial matters as minor issues, and sometimes even read them as stories.

After he sorted through it, he was able to discover quite a few flaws in the Mongolian tribes from those seemingly trivial matters.

"Huh?!" Qingyan looked at Yin suspiciously. "Was the information collected by Yuelai Inn really useful?"

Qingyan was stunned. Yin had previously said that if there was any more news from Yuelai Inn, he should keep it all for him to select.

At first, she thought Yin was joking. She was quite lazy and only glanced at these messages when she had time. Whenever a new letter arrived, she would first toss it to Yin, asking him to see if there was anything useful.

He pinched her nose and said, "Of course it's useful. Why do you think Qiu Mi was postponed this time?"

He lowered his voice and muttered to Xiao Guai that the news from Yue Lai Inn mentioned that several tribal leaders had sent people to buy a lot of things, which were all reserve grains.

However, their excuse was that the Kangxi Emperor was on his last autumn visit and the tribe did not have enough food.

Yin's lips curled into a cold smile. Who could believe such a lame excuse?

"Fourth Brother, don't try to comfort me. I know it's a waste of time to collect this information. People are bored in the capital!" Qingyan helplessly spread her hands, letting him know that she was actually quite helpless inside.

He shook his head helplessly; the little girl's thoughts were really hard to fathom.

"No, when have I ever said anything I wasn't sure about?" Yin knew she was afraid of causing him trouble.

After the Mongolian wives caused a ruckus for a few days, she began to consider whether to close Linglong Pavilion. In the past few days, Consort Tong had been trying to persuade her to close it.

She lowered her head, thinking about how to deal with the Linglong Pavilion in Mongolia after returning to the capital.

"We must find out who dares to trip me up behind my back!" Qingyan is determined to dig out this black sheep. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
