Three days later, Kangxi personally led everyone to wait and welcome Fuquan and others back to camp. The cooperation between the eastern and western armies forced Galdan to hang himself on the grassland. Many people said behind his back that it was the Emperor's wisdom and martial prowess that left him nowhere to hide.

Wearing a battle robe from the Plain Yellow Banner, Yin stood beside Kangxi, his status even more noble than that of the First Prince Yin.

Everyone with discerning eyes could see that His Majesty favored Yinzhen more than the two princes. Inside the camp, relaxed smiles appeared on everyone's faces; their conditions for this campaign were very favorable. None of their worst fears had materialized, and they sincerely admired the Fourth Prince's character.

Although the Fourth Prince did not fight on the front lines, he used his abilities to ensure the safety of everyone in the army, allowing them to fight without going hungry.

This achievement surpasses even the greatest feat of killing enemies on the battlefield. In past wars, two percent of soldier deaths were due to starvation. This time, however, that two percent has vanished.

At this moment, Qingyan sat in the imperial tent with Consort Tong. She listened to the booming of the cannons outside. On the screen in the space, the scene at the camp gate was being broadcast. A smile appeared on her little face.

Tong Guogang was shot and killed by an enemy general during this battle due to the eldest prince's willfulness. In his previous life, Tong Guogang and the eldest prince's army had been plagued by hunger, which eventually led to an irrational looting of supplies.

The arrival of Qingyan completely resolved the matter, making them feel much better.

"Qingyan, are you really decided?" Before breakfast, Kangxi asked Qingyan, giving her half the credit for preparing the provisions, but the little girl refused outright.

Her little hands were tucked into a small handkerchief, and she nodded seriously, her adorable expression melting Consort Tong's heart. Consort Tong gazed at young Qingyan; this achievement was enough to ensure she would be pampered and well-fed in the Yin family mansion for the rest of her life.

"Your Majesty, I'm not a boy, what use is that merit to me? It's better to exchange it for some good food," Qingyan explained with a smile.

Immediately, Consort Tong was speechless. In her eyes, Qingyan was a well-behaved girl, but President Yin said that Xiaoguai was a foodie!

These five words have always followed Qingyan. At first, she thought it was Yin's way of protecting Qingyan, but now she feels sorry for her own son.

When Kangxi welcomed Tong Guogang and other generals, he had just arrived at the tent when he heard Qingyan's clear reply.

Everyone looked at Fei Yanggu and his two sons with strange eyes. Qingyan had given all the credit to Yin. In the eyes of outsiders, Qingyan was a fool.

Fei Yanggu and his two sons were completely relieved. Qingyan was being raised around the imperial tent and sleeping in the same tent as the Fourth Prince. All of this would have made the ministers worry. Now, her casual remark could completely dispel their concerns.

Yin's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Yin out of the corner of his eye. He never expected that Kangxi would find such a consort for Yin.

Be reasonable and know your limits.

Which of the royal consorts could compare to Qingyan? Capable and charming, she was pampered and loved by Fei Yanggu and his two sons from birth.

Every benefit was advantageous to Yin.

"Xiao Si, go take Qingyan out for a while." Kangxi was satisfied with Qingyan's answer; it was best for female relatives not to interfere too much in politics.

At first, he only wanted to ensure that Fei Yanggu had no worries. On the way to the expedition, Qingyan's foodie nature was revealed. She prepared a lot of things to reduce the consumption of the army's food supplies.

“Yes.” Yin quickly replied.

He didn't want to get involved in court affairs so early. The Crown Prince was still wise, and Kangxi had no intention of deposing him. He had better be a good son.

"Fourth Prince, you're back?" Qingyan clapped her hands happily as Yin walked in. Yin picked her up and walked out through the side door.

Qingyan leaned on Yin's shoulder, watching the people outside the imperial tent from afar. She was secretly happy that she had finally escaped that place. Accompanying those important figures was really tiring. Thinking of this, she raised her chubby left hand and wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead.

Yin chuckled; she always made people laugh.

"Little Darling, let's not go over there." Yin noticed the look in Yin's eyes. He clearly realized that Qingyan's strengths were constantly emerging. Not only the princes of Mongolia, but even his own brother hoped that Qingyan could make a different choice.

Today, Qingyan wore a bright red cheongsam, red riding boots, and her hair was braided in many places, without a single beaded flower.

She patted his shoulder, urging him to put her down, and Yin obediently helped her down.

The moment she landed, Qingyan ran out. How long had it been since she had been able to breathe fresh air freely? During this expedition, Qingyan had stayed in the camp and hadn't stepped out of the camp gates at all.

Yin quickly caught up with her, and smiles appeared on both of their faces, shining brightly in the sunlight.

She had only run a few steps forward when Yin pulled her back into his arms, and her clear laughter echoed across the grassland.

"I'll change my clothes and then take you horseback riding." Yin rubbed her head and took her hand as they walked towards the tent.

Half an hour later, Yin changed into a prince's casual clothes and dragged Qingyan to the stable. Every horse here was a tribute from the grasslands. Yin walked to a group of black ponies, which kicked their hooves happily as they saw their master arrive.

“Black Hawk, this is your mistress.” Yin looked at Black Hawk. Back then, when he went to war for the first time, Black Hawk was shot with three arrows to save him, but still insisted on running to the imperial tent.

In the end, it collapsed at the entrance of the imperial tent. Yin, who had never seen a black eagle in the palace stables before, immediately asked Kangxi for it.

Qingyan was somewhat frightened, and a wary look appeared in Black Eagle's large eyes. Yin grabbed her right hand to prevent her from backing away. He took out a sugar cube from his purse and placed it in her palm, then handed it to Black Eagle. It looked at Yin in confusion, sniffed the sugar cube, and then ate it directly.

She felt the black hawk's warm breath and was about to step back when Yin's chest embraced her.

"Don't be afraid, horses are the Manchus' friends." Yin looked down at Qingyan's slightly frightened eyes. Fei Yanggu and his two sons were warriors who had been dealing with horses since childhood. Qingyan had been raised in a pampered environment by Fei Yanggu since birth, and Fei Yanggu would never let her participate in such strenuous activities.

Under Yin's guidance, her hand touched a horse's mane for the first time. In both her lives, this was the first time she had ever touched a real horse. Her body was covered in human blood, which gave her an instinctive sense of closeness to the horse.

"From now on, I will personally teach you how to ride a horse. Look, Black Hawk likes you very much." Black Hawk was Yin's most trusted partner, and the tacit understanding that had formed between the man and the horse made Kangxi's heart tremble.

"Fourth Brother, can I really ride?" Fei Yanggu rarely let Qingyan ride a horse. Sometimes, when Fei Yanggu let Qingyan ride, he would only let him jog around once and then stop.

Yin nodded firmly. She couldn't forget her roots. Every year, during the royal hunt, the Fujin (consort) had to represent the Prince's Mansion. In his previous life, the Eighth Fujin, Guo Luoluo, was the most outstanding horsewoman, but he hadn't been able to take Qingyan to the grasslands, preventing her from showcasing her talents. In this life, he would never make that mistake again.
