Kangxi's main force left, while Yinzhen and the Fifth Prince stayed behind.
The day after Kangxi left, Yinzhen began to get busy. First, he invited the leaders of the various Mongol tribes.
Invitations have been sent out to all the necessary places, but not everyone is willing to come. In the end, although Yinzhen is a prince and seems to have a noble status, he is just a bald prince and does not have a title.
Moreover, Emperor Kangxi had many sons, and things are valued for their rarity, so by that calculation, he was not considered a "noble" person.
Some of the leaders of the Mongol tribes were willing to give face and came, while others were unwilling to give face and directly said that they had other matters to attend to and could not attend the banquet.
Yinzhen wasn't angry.
If they want to come, they can come; if they don't want to come, he won't force them. He'll ignore them now, but later he'll make sure they can't afford to be near him.
...
Inside the tent of the Khorchin prince.
"Abu, how could you agree to let your sister go to the banquet? Isn't this ridiculous!"
Zhebu's tone was somewhat resentful.
His younger sister had always harbored fantasies about the Fourth Prince. He had even planned to take his sister back to Khorchin as soon as Kangxi left. But Abu, on the contrary, directly accepted the Fourth Prince's invitation.
In his opinion, he shouldn't have accepted the invitation.
Upon hearing his son's words, Dari Achi slapped him: "How dare you talk like that? That's your sister! And who are you calling a fool? I'm your father!"
Upon hearing this, Zhebu made a bitter face, rubbed his head, and said, "But the Fourth Prince is already married. Even if my sister gets what she wants, she will only become the Fourth Prince's concubine. Can you bear to let my sister become the Fourth Prince's concubine?"
Daryachi glared at him: "Dolan is the pearl of Khorchin, how can she be a concubine?"
Jeb: "Then why don't you go along with her? She invited you to the banquet because she wanted to have more contact with the Fourth Prince. What you're doing is giving her hope. She's not deeply involved yet. Take her back and let her see more of the heroes of our grasslands. Then she'll naturally forget about the Fourth Prince. What you're doing will only make her unable to forget the Fourth Prince."
Daryachi said domineeringly, "Since Dolan has taken a liking to the Fourth Prince, then he should rightfully be Dolan's man."
Jeb was startled by what he heard: "Abu, what are you doing?"
That's the princess consort!
Daryachi: "Don't worry about this."
Jebu was worried; he feared that Abu might do something irreversible in a moment of impulsiveness.
“Abu, the Fourth Prince’s wife is the one personally chosen by His Majesty, and the Fourth Prince values her highly. If something happens to her in Mongolia, it will be difficult to explain.”
Daryachi chuckled: "Jebu, you must remember, this is the grassland, our homeland."
He's going to do something, but how could a mere teenager like the Fourth Prince possibly know anything about it?
Moreover, for his daughter's sake, he had to ruin the reputation of the Fourth Prince's wife. Otherwise, if his daughter married into the family, the Fourth Prince would still be thinking about his current wife, which wouldn't do.
Furthermore, Dari Achi was skeptical about the Fourth Prince's high regard for his fourth wife. For a man, what is more important than personal gain?
Dariachi believed that as long as the benefits were sufficient, the Fourth Prince would make the right choice.
Zhebu thought Abu had gone mad, but seeing Abu's attitude of not taking the Fourth Prince and his wife seriously at all, Zhebu realized that no matter what he said, it would be in vain.
In the end, he could only sigh to himself.
It seems he can't change anything, and he can't possibly go and tell the Fourth Prince and his wife about his son, Abu.
Only 60% of the attendees were present at the banquet on the day of the event.
The Fifth Prince looked at the people who had come over and couldn't help but sigh, "Fourth Brother, there are too few people."
Yinzhen said calmly, "It's alright. It's not about the number of people; this is enough."
On the Mongolian side, Yinzhen was very confident.
Furthermore, his main purpose in coming here today is to discuss a "deal," a deal that Mongolia absolutely cannot refuse.
Once someone tastes the benefits, those who haven't will feel they've suffered. At that point, without Yinzhen sending out any invitations, people will naturally come knocking on his door seeking "cooperation."
Seeing that Yinzhen's tone was quite confident, which inexplicably made him feel convinced, the Fifth Prince felt relieved.
The Fifth Prince felt that following his Fourth Brother was the right thing to do.
The two exchanged a few more words and realized that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, and those who weren't probably really wouldn't come.
Yinzhen sat down in his chair and said, "Today, I'm hosting a banquet for all the princes because there's something I need to discuss with you all."
A Mongol prince spoke first, saying, "Fourth Prince, please speak."
Yinzhen nodded: "Before coming here, Grandma said she missed the unique Mongolian cuisine very much. She felt it was a pity that she couldn't come in person. A few days ago, my wife prepared some Mongolian specialties, which Father Emperor liked very much. She even took a lot with her before leaving, saying she wanted Grandma to taste them. Father Emperor specifically instructed my fifth brother and me to spread the Mongolian specialties to every corner of the Qing Dynasty, so that Grandma Emperor could be happy."
"What does the Fourth Prince mean?"
"I hope that you princes can help teach the herdsmen of your various tribes how to cook food."
His words immediately raised questions among many people.
One of the princes frowned and said, “We are very moved by Your Majesty’s filial piety, but the Mongolian herders mainly make a living by herding. If they learn to cook from you, our Mongolian herders will have no livelihood. This is probably not a good idea.”
Yinzhen said, "Since we are going to use the people of the various Mongol tribes, we will naturally not ignore their livelihood. There will be wages for cooking, and the ingredients for the food are all Mongol cattle and sheep, so we will not let the people of the various tribes stop grazing."
