Inside the tent, the atmosphere became somewhat strange. Kangxi had a gloomy face and didn't say a word to Yinzhen. Instead, he summoned the twins to his side and asked them about their lives in Zhili.

The twins told everything in detail. On that day, they actually encountered kidnappers on the street. Fortunately, Bayan and Erlu were there and suppressed the twins' eagerness to try, thus preventing them from causing a big problem.

"You brat, what are you still thinking about?" Upon hearing this, Kangxi slapped Yiken'e on the forehead.

“Grandpa, I am ridding the people of a scourge,” Yiken said, tilting his head back.

Consort Tong smiled, clutching her handkerchief. Yin and Qingyan both lowered their heads respectfully, not daring to utter a single word.

Emperor Kangxi doted on Yiken'e and would often offer him tips on how to rectify things. Yiken'e took these tips to heart and would never let a similar opportunity slip by.

"Yiken'e, how old are you? You're already thinking about eliminating harm for the people? What have I ever done with you?" Kangxi was furious, even though he had clearly warned Yiken'e.

"A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall!" Yiken said, bowing his head.

In Kangxi's view, Yiken'e was an uncompromising and stubborn fellow. This year, he went even further, discovering human traffickers and simply handing the matter over to his subordinates.

“Grandfather, I think I can do it well.” Yiken’e looked at Kangxi defiantly.

Kangxi finally sighed: "Yiken'e, when you took your sister out with you, did you think about what would happen to Hutulifengshengzhalafen if things went wrong? These days, it's already very harsh on girls. You don't want Hutulifengshengzhalafen's reputation to be damaged, do you?"

Yiken'e fell silent. Kangxi's last few words had just been whispered in his ear, and he was afraid that someone with ulterior motives might have overheard them, and that there might be disloyal servants among those on duty.

"Grandfather, your grandson knows he was wrong. In the future, he will definitely think twice before acting and will never cause trouble for you or your father again." Yiken'e lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

After he finished speaking, Consort Tong, Yinhe Qingyan and others were stunned. If Yiken'e had not made a mistake, he would never admit it even if he died. Today, Kangxi only said a few words in his ear and Yiken'e's attitude softened.

"What kind of look is that? Yiken'e is much better than you. You've never been this obedient before," Kangxi sneered.

“Father, if you continue to discipline Yiken’e like this, he will continue to repeat his mistakes. You don’t want Yiken’e to be in danger, do you?” Yin said to Kangxi.

"Yiken'e, can you promise me that you will not act so recklessly again?" Kangxi asked, staring intently at Yiken'e.

"No," Yiken said, straightening his chest.

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. As he was reprimanding Yin, Li Dequan walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Khorchin and his wife have come to pay their respects," Li Dequan reported.

Kangxi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile. These two from Khorchin were no pushovers.

"Don't let them bully you. Take Hutulifengshengzhalafen to the side tent first." Kangxi glanced at Consort Tong and Qingyan. "The Empress Dowager doesn't value their family."

Qingyan understood that Kangxi had given enough hints that if the Khorchin Prince's wife said anything offensive, she could directly refute it.

"Don't worry, Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen won't be wronged." Consort Tong smiled and left with Qingyan.

Later, the wife of the Khorchin Prince appeared in the side tent. Qingyan sat to the lower left of Consort Tong, while Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen leaned against Consort Tong.

After the Khorchin Prince's wife entered, she glanced at Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen's position out of the corner of her eye and frowned slightly. If she really was going to pay her respects, wouldn't she have to pay her respects to her elders?

The princess was displeased and stood there awkwardly.

"Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen, didn't you see any outsiders have arrived? Come here to your mother right away," Qingyan said to her daughter.

"Mother, isn't this the wife of a Mongolian prince? She should be paying her respects to me, so why is she going to Mother's place?" Hutulifengshengzhalafen asked, tilting his head.

According to palace rules, the wife of the Prince of Khorchin should pay her respects to Hutulifengshengzhalafen. However, according to the backup arrangement made by the Cining Palace, Hutulifengshengzhalafen is of a different generation.

"My dear child, listen to your mother and come here quickly. This is the wife of the Prince of Khorchin, your maternal grandmother's brother's wife." Qingyan beckoned her daughter to come over quickly.

Ugh!

"Please don't be offended, Madam. I've been studying palace rules lately and forgot about these family relationships." Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen gave an awkward smile and bowed deeply to Madam again.

The Khorchin Prince's wife stood frozen in place, forced to accept the full courtesy from Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen. Consort Tong witnessed this scene, her brows furrowed. These Mongolian wives were suddenly using their status to make demands.

"Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen, you've learned the palace rules correctly. Generally speaking, palace rules come first, then family etiquette." Consort Tong showed no respect for the Fujin.

"It was my fault. I pay my respects to Princess Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen." A hint of resentment flashed in the Fujin's eyes. Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. If this woman set her sights on her, Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen would definitely be in trouble.

“Madam, Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen is only young and has just learned the palace rules, which is why she was so competitive. Please forgive her.” Qingyan beckoned her daughter to her side and quickly stood up to bow and apologize.

The wife of the Prince of Khorchin was very pleased to see that Qingyan was so sensible.

Inside the side tent, the Mongolian maids all felt it was their duty. The maids who accompanied the emperor on his travels were all harboring resentment. In the palace, what was the status of Mongolian concubines? The noble ladies who were sent to the palace were all very cautious. But here, things were completely different.

"Alright, why are you arguing with the children? Is there something you need today?" Consort Tong took a deep breath and looked at the Fujin.

"Your Highness, I heard that the Fourth Prince's twins have come, so I came to see them. I brought my own granddaughter with me. She's about the same age as Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, so the two sisters can play a little longer," the Fujin said quickly.

Qingyan's expression darkened. The Fujin spoke in a commanding tone, clearly indicating that she was preparing to send the person to Yiken'e's side.

Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen sneered, "Yiken'e would never want a girl of Mongolian origin."

"Alas, the good intentions of the Fujin are truly going to be wasted. Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen was traveling in a bit too fast and is not feeling well. Father Emperor has asked Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen to rest in the tent," Qingyan explained helplessly.
