Chapter 167 Staying in Mongolia



The two discussed for almost an hour, and by the time Yinzhen came out of Kangxi's tent, everyone who needed to know already knew.

For example, the Crown Prince, and other princes such as the First Prince and the Third Prince.

Of course, some observant courtiers also noticed it.

When Yinzhen came out of Kangxi's tent, he had a happy look on his face, which inevitably made those with ulterior motives think too much.

They felt that the Emperor was perhaps placing too much importance on the Fourth Prince.

Although the Crown Prince had some vague knowledge of Yinzhen's health condition, he could guess that it was pretty accurate.

The Crown Prince was not worried that Yinzhen would threaten his position as heir apparent, but he felt uneasy about Yinzhen being favored by Emperor Kangxi.

He clearly understood that the crown prince must be tolerant of others. However, it was still quite difficult for the crown prince to truly be tolerant of others.

It really proves the saying that it's easier said than done.

When the eldest prince found out, he didn't have the same complicated thoughts as the crown prince. After all, in his opinion, Yinzhen's level of "favor" was nothing compared to that of the crown prince.

His goal has always been to become the crown prince, and he is very firm about this.

After complaining about how his wife's rapid changes were baffling, the Third Prince started to get annoyed with Yinzhen. He felt that Yinzhen was just trying to attract attention, and he also felt ashamed because he was Yinzhen's third brother, but it was always Yinzhen, the younger brother, who received the praise.

This made the Third Prince very unhappy.

As for the other princes, they each had their own ideas.

Those courtiers who were keen to pay attention couldn't help but turn their attention to the Fourth Prince. They had only known that the Crown Prince was skilled in both literature and military strategy and that the First Prince was brave on the battlefield, but they didn't know that the Fourth Prince had grown to the point that His Majesty valued him.

Two days later, Yinzhen wrote a memorial and handed it to Kangxi. The reason it took two days was because Tong Cheng'er had sent a skilled embroiderer with wool yarn and cloth to her entourage.

Cotton can be made into cloth, and so can wool.

The embroiderer was very skilled and spent two days weaving a piece of wool cloth and a lot of wool yarn.

Tong Cheng'er handed the cloth and thread to Yinzhen. Yinzhen touched the wool cloth and found it to be smoother than cotton and softer than silk.

He immediately said, "This fabric would definitely be warm to wear in winter."

Tong Cheng'er nodded; it was indeed very warm.

She misses wool sweaters and wool scarves a little.

"Yes, it's really warm. If you make an undergarment out of this fabric, it'll feel like you're hugging a little stove when you wear it in winter. This wool yarn can be used to knit clothes, gloves, and scarves. It has so many uses!"

Speaking of wool yarn, Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but think back to her modern dormitory life.

Back then, there were two girls in the dormitory who knitted scarves for their boyfriends in the winter.

Thinking of this, she suddenly said to Yinzhen, "I can knit too, how about I knit you a scarf!"

Yinzhen nodded: "Okay!"

...

Yinzhen presented the memorial, along with the woolen cloth and woolen thread, to Kangxi. After seeing it, Kangxi touched the woolen cloth and expressed the same sentiment as Yinzhen: the woolen cloth was very soft.

"This woolen cloth is quite good. I have read your memorial, and you have considered the issues very thoroughly. I have been away from the capital for some time now and will be returning soon. Your memorial is feasible, but we must have someone who can keep things in check left behind. Who do you think is suitable to stay?"

Those who can keep order should stay?

If that's the case, the Crown Prince will definitely be able to keep things in check; the title alone will suffice. However, the Crown Prince is the heir apparent, and the Emperor will certainly not leave him in Mongolia.

After thinking for a moment, Yinzhen said, "Your subject wishes to stay."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi nodded: "You can stay, that's fine. How about this, I'll keep Xiao Wu here as well, and let him assist you in handling the Mongolian affairs."

"yes"

Emperor Kangxi immediately sent someone to summon the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince went out for a horse ride, and after returning to his tent and washing up, he saw the Emperor's men approaching.

Then he went to his father’s tent with great trepidation. The Fifth Prince had grown up in the presence of the Empress Dowager since childhood, started school relatively late, and his studies were average. Kangxi did not have high expectations for his studies.

It can be said that the Fifth Prince himself felt that he was just a nobody in Kangxi's eyes. He really couldn't understand why he was summoned, so it was inevitable that he was nervous.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty."

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

The Fifth Prince was a little nervous, but Emperor Kangxi didn't notice. He said directly, "I have a task for you to do today."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince perked up. His primary consort had already been chosen. Compared to the consorts of his older brothers, her family background was somewhat humble. He had his objections, but he knew he couldn't.

Because he hadn't officially gotten married yet, he hadn't officially entered the court. Unexpectedly, he was able to get a job before his wedding, just like his fourth brother.

"Please give your orders, Father Emperor." His tone was quite excited.

Kangxi nodded, pleased with his spirit.

Then he told him about cooperating with Yinzhen in Mongolia, and the Fifth Prince had no objection.

However, there is something he must mention: "Your subject is naturally willing to stay, but your subject's wedding date is set for October."

Emperor Kangxi was taken aback upon hearing this; he had completely forgotten about it.

Yinzhen said from the side, "Father, I estimate that it will take about half a year for things in Mongolia to get back on track. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. When that time comes, I will bring my fifth brother back to the capital to get married. We can come back after the wedding."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi looked at the Fifth Prince and asked, "Fifth Prince, what do you think?"
