As dawn broke, the head guard, seeing that everything in the camp was normal, left with the Khorchin's spies.

Eshuo and Saito, who were patrolling around the tent, smiled slightly. Last night, they had discovered that someone was watching the camp, but they had told Tulichen's men to be patient and that this was the first time they had hidden in the shadows to protect Yin and Qingyan.

Fortunately, the other side didn't have much patience and left early. As long as they continued their journey, the Shadow Guard would likely follow the group, and the other side would likely cause some trouble.

"Go and tell Fourth Master that we need to leave as soon as possible." E'shuo didn't want anyone to cause trouble again; the guard captain was clearly sent by the Khorchin.

They had been out of Khorchin for so long, but the other side had not given up monitoring them, which worried him greatly.

“Yes.” Tulichen and Eshuo shared similar opinions. Kangxi did not want to break off relations with the Mongols, so they had to do as Kangxi wished.

At this moment, Yin woke up early, and Qingyan used the spatial video to observe that none of the Mongolian guards who were lying in wait nearby were left.

As they traveled, the guards of Khorchin followed behind them. She rarely showed her true face, always revealing herself in disguise.

"Sisi, where are we going?" Northern Mongolia must be the most remote place, right?

"We've arrived at a large tribe now. In three days, we'll go to the most remote tribe. The primary consort here is a concubine's daughter from the imperial clan. According to seniority, she should be the younger sister adopted by Emperor Shunzhi." Yin couldn't help but sigh. These princesses were all from poor backgrounds, concubine's daughters, sent to His Majesty by their fathers. The one who could be selected and rewarded would be the heir apparent.

Their own brothers, on the other hand, could not receive any praise, and many concubines sent their daughters away to seek a sense of security from their masters.

ah?

Qingyan was somewhat dumbfounded. Kangxi no longer sent princesses to marry foreign rulers, but the concubine daughters of the imperial clan were not pardoned. Many of the tribes that sought marriage were remote tribes. For the sake of peace, Kangxi did not mind sending concubine daughters of the imperial clan to marry foreign rulers.

“The Mongol tribes are highly polarized. Powerful tribes like the Khorchin knew long ago that the princess would not marry, so they no longer petitioned for a marriage. The northern tribes are different from these remote ones; they never even considered having a princess, let alone a concubine’s daughter, as it would be an honor.” Yin had to admit that all of this was caused by their own efforts.

The fact that they were granted marriage was a form of affirmation by Emperor Kangxi, and the leaders of those small tribes would be even more loyal because of it.

She opened her mouth slightly in surprise. Kangxi had won the loyalty of these leaders with minimal cost.

"Father Emperor hasn't considered the matter of those concubine's daughters. If something happens to them, there are plenty of concubine's daughters in the imperial clan. Someone will always come to them directly." Just as Qingyan felt sorry for them, Yin pointed it out directly.

They had no choice but to enter into such marriages for various reasons.

"Is this a case of seeking what one needs?" Qingyan didn't quite understand these people's thoughts. From what he said, it seemed that Kangxi would ask for their opinions before bestowing marriages upon them.

He nodded and said, "Father will ask in advance, and they can make some requests, even directly to their own brother, Jia'en."

Since returning, Emperor Kangxi had often mentioned the matter of Jia'en to Consort Tong, and some members of the imperial clan requested that Jia'en's place be given to the eldest son of the legitimate wife.

The illegitimate daughters who were sent there had different ideas; they devoted their lives to fighting for a place for their brothers and mother.

Even though my father is gone, my mother and brothers have become successful, and they can rest easy even though they are thousands of miles away.

"Many primary wives in the capital complain that their concubine daughters are too opinionated. Some wives even say that concubine daughters should serve their primary sons." Qingyan despises such people the most. They have no ability of their own and can only get promoted by relying on nepotism.

Yin smiled coldly. These wives had no choice. Kangxi would issue an imperial edict directly to their respective residences, and even if the primary wives made a fuss, there was nothing they could do.

"Hmm? Little Darling heard a lot?" Yin was very interested in knowing more about it.

She nodded quickly. Previously, many of the primary wives had hinted that she should intervene. Lady Yin Genjueluo had once advised her that these matters should be handled according to Kangxi's wishes.

The imperial decree had been issued; she didn't have the audacity to obstruct it.

"Those people are so annoying. They always tell me how much their sons are suffering!" Qingyan pouted. Yin didn't want her to get involved, so she decided to pretend she didn't know anything.

He turned his head and kissed her forehead, a cold glint in his eyes.

Every time they entered the mansion, the servants would report every move they made to Emperor Kangxi and him in detail, and the father and son were very satisfied with Qingyan's actions.

These wives all seemed to be testing her, but Xiao Guai said she didn't understand and tried to dodge their questions. Compared to Dong E Shi's responses, they were even more helpless in the face of Xiao Guai's actions.

After a while, the wives stopped coming to visit, and Yin thought Xiao Guai's approach was correct.

"Fourth, I'll just pretend I don't understand and let those people buzz around in my ear like flies," Qingyan said, looking at him obsequiously.

He smiled and tapped her forehead; to him, her gesture was adorable.

"Yes, I didn't stop you from doing that!" Yin wanted to show that he was fully aware of everything that happened in the mansion.

"Hehe, I knew it." Qingyan wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a hard kiss on both cheeks.

"Don't you even look around!" He scolded Qingyan with a stern face, but the smile in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

She saw the smile in his eyes and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "A repressed flirt!"

"Sisi, if you're angry, hide the smile in your eyes." Qingyan snorted.

He pinched her little nose. Today would be a sunny day. After leaving the northern grasslands, they should be able to shake off those people from Khorchin.

"Master, we'll be setting off immediately after breakfast!" Tulichen appeared at the tent entrance.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin slammed his fist on the bed, instantly shattering the atmosphere between the two.

"Okay, let Su Peisheng and Su Lan come in!" Yin rolled over and pressed himself against her, kissed her forehead, and then turned and got out of bed.

A moment later, Su Peisheng and Su Lan led the servants in with their heads bowed. Qing Yan, dressed in a blue undergarment, was washing and grooming with Su Lan's help.

"Master, this servant just spotted two people preparing to leave the camp and handed them over to Lord E'shuo!" Su Peisheng reported to Yin in a low voice.

The two men were clearly from the Imperial Household Department, and he couldn't be sure who they were notifying.

What?

Yin looked at Su Peisheng. Was someone preparing to leave?

It seems that even some tribes in the northern deserts are restless?

"After E'shuo gets the information, have him beaten to death!" Yin understood that with Xinjun and Tulichen by his side, Kangxi did not intend to let him do it himself.

Fine!

He's made all his methods public; Kangxi shouldn't suspect anything now. (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.)
