As evening approached, Yin took the twins to the imperial tent. Today, the Mongol leaders were to be received one by one, and Consort Tong was to meet with the Mongol women. Unlike usual, the twins were not taken to the imperial tent in the early morning.

Emperor Kangxi had not seen the twins all day and felt uneasy. He ordered Li Dequan to invite Yinzhi's family over for dinner.

In the past, Emperor Kangxi would have the Crown Prince come and dine with him. Although Consort Tong took good care of him, he could still tell that she was somewhat resistant.

"Let the two little ones come over too? It's so late. Shu, go and prepare the stroller. Let the two children sleep here tonight." Consort Tong couldn't object to what Kangxi said, so she had her servants prepare the stroller and let Yin and the other child go back after dinner. "Bring out Yiken'e's favorite pillow and sleeping aids."

"You, Yiken'e is the legitimate son, how can you spoil him like this!" Kangxi complained about Consort Tong's pampering, but the corners of his mouth kept turning up slightly, clearly indicating his approval.

"You're one to talk! Who told Li Dequan to specially prepare Yiken'erte's favorite milk?" Consort Tong retorted defiantly.

Yin and Qingyan, carrying the twins, walked outside the imperial tent and overheard Consort Tong complaining about Emperor Kangxi.

Qingyan buried her head in Yiken'e's clothes, her shoulders trembling slightly.

In front of the couple, Consort Tong would always save face for Emperor Kangxi and would help him smooth things over.

It turns out that Consort Tong, in private, would often complain about her husband, just like her.

Yin looked at Xiao Guai's actions and knew what she was thinking.

Consort Tong had corrupted the little girl early on. He looked up at her with a relieved expression and gave her a warning look.

Emperor Kangxi was very concerned about his reputation. If anyone dared to cause trouble at the banquet, he would definitely be angry, and his mother would have a hard time that night.

"Nonsense!" Kangxi coldly snorted.

His tone was full of affection, and as he looked at Consort Tong's charming smile, his guilt deepened.

Originally, Consort Tong could have had a large family with many children and grandchildren. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's intervention, her children wouldn't have died young.

Fortunately, Yin was a good person and would often send Qingyan over so that the twins could keep her company, making her life in the palace much easier.

"Ahem..." Yin quickly interrupted when he heard Kangxi's sentimental words.

He knew he shouldn't let Xiaoguai hear what he was about to say, lest she feel he wasn't considerate enough.

Yin Dao felt that even if he had a hundred brains, he couldn't outwit Kangxi's methods of dealing with women.

"Come in, you brat, you've been eavesdropping again!" Kangxi said angrily.

From a young age, Kangxi and Yinzhen had a lot of fun in Chenggan Palace, and Consort Tong had become used to it. Even after marriage, she would bring Qingyan along to watch plays.

"Greetings to Father Emperor, greetings to Mother Emperor!" Yin bowed with Qingyan.

The twins entered the warm tent, opened their eyes immediately, and stretched out their chubby little hands towards Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong.

"Quickly, give Yiken'e to me." Kangxi valued this eldest grandson highly; his chubby little appearance melted his heart.

"Why didn't you two have the maids hold the baby? What if the child gets cold?" Consort Tong asked directly.

She stood up herself, picked up Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, and touched the little girl's slightly cool cheeks, and couldn't help but talk about Yin.

"Mother... I don't trust the nannies to handle things!" Yin said directly.

Those old women almost hurt the children for their own benefit; it would be a miracle if Yin could feel at ease.

Qingyan stood behind Yin with her head down, ready to be a backdrop.

Previously, Consort Tong favored her the most, always showing concern for her well-being whenever she visited Chenggan Palace. Now, the two little ones have completely overshadowed the young couple's position.

"Little darling, if those nannies aren't careful, you'll have to work hard and take care of the children more. You can't count on Yin for help." Consort Tong rolled her eyes at Yin.

Qingyan's little face was flushed. She noticed the children's strange behavior, and Yinze personally dealt with the servants.

"Yes!" Under Yin's prompting look, Qingyan quickly agreed, which was considered as Yin saving face for her in front of the two of them.

"Fourth Prince, you must also pay close attention to the servants in the mansion. Simply cleaning them up one by one won't work. If the servants in the Imperial Household Department are no good, there are still others outside!" Kangxi couldn't openly help Yinzhi, but he could hint that cleaning up the servants in the Imperial Household Department was still an option.

Qingyan was slightly taken aback, and she looked up at Kangxi.

Today, Emperor Kangxi wore a royal blue robe, and his usually cold and serious eyes revealed a hint of care and affection. Perhaps, he also loved these princes in his heart.

"Father, I understand," Qingyan quickly stepped forward to reply.

Emperor Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. Fei Yanggu's daughter was good, and Dong Eqi knew how to raise children.

No wonder Yin valued Qingyan more.

She noticed Kangxi nodding in satisfaction and felt a little relieved. In front of Kangxi, she always had to remain highly vigilant to prevent him from secretly setting traps for her.

"Hmph, do you think Xiao'ai is like Dong Eshi? She always looks so innocent." Consort Tong laughed.

A few days ago, Consort Dong'e returned with Yinzhi. Emperor Kangxi asked Yinzhi and Consort Dong'e in a similar tone. Clearly, Consort Dong'e's answer was not as good as Qingyan's.

Qingyan understood Kangxi's gaze and was somewhat pleased. Although she and Consort Dong'e did not get along, she was quite satisfied that she could outdo her.

"Little darling, leave the children with me tonight, and you two can get some rest." Consort Tong also felt sorry for Qingyan. As soon as they returned to the camp, the Mongolian noblewomen came to their door one after another, using various methods to promote their own eligible young ladies.

Qingyan was extremely annoyed, but she couldn't say it out loud.

"Mother, I feel like all those noble Mongolian ladies can't find husbands anymore? Every time I want to rest, they come and bother me." Yin asked directly.

When Xiao Guai is feeling uncomfortable, he often throws a tantrum, which he finds quite amusing.

"There's nothing we can do for now. Xiao Guai hasn't said anything, so why are you complaining here!" Kangxi glared at Yin. The women's affairs should be handled by Xiao Guai herself. The little girl is always well protected, and she has suffered a lot at gatherings with her sisters-in-law.

“Father, who says it’s different? Little Guai thinks those people coming over will just kill time, and I’m annoyed!” Yin understood Kangxi’s meaning. If Little Guai didn’t speak up, then the matter couldn’t be resolved.

snort!

He was well aware of Kangxi's calculations: if Qingyan couldn't hold on, he would have to agree to let him take in people, so as not to interfere with the agreement between Kangxi and Feiyanggu.

cunning and treacherous!

Yinhe Qingyan directly positioned Kangxi, but without such a cunning old fox, he certainly wouldn't have been able to overcome the Three Feudatories.

"Alright, since Yin isn't here, Xiao Guai came over with the twins after breakfast!" Consort Tong's words stopped the father and son from arguing again. (To be continued.
