The group had already been in Mongolia for several days by this time.
Emperor Kangxi was busy meeting with leaders of various Mongol tribes, taking the opportunity to promote his tenth son.
Yinti was in charge of security and protection, and from time to time he had to compete with warriors from various Mongol tribes.
Yinzhen and Yinzhi spent most of their time helping Kangxi with government affairs, and occasionally they would play with the two children for a while.
At this moment, Yinzhen frowned subconsciously as he looked at the urgent memorial sent from the capital.
"What's wrong, Fourth Brother?" Yin Zhi asked curiously from the side.
They could help Emperor Kangxi with relevant government affairs, but they would not easily look at these urgent memorials sent from 800 li away.
"Something must have happened to send such an urgent memorial from the capital at this time?" Yinzhen really wanted to open it and take a look.
At that time in the capital, with the Crown Prince overseeing the country in the court and the Empress Dowager watching over the inner palace, what kind of extraordinary event could warrant such an urgent memorial delivered by express courier?
Yinzhi seemed to have thought of this as well, "Why don't we go find Father Emperor now?"
The two brothers exchanged a glance, then took the memorial and headed toward Kangxi's tent.
Before they even got close to the main tent, they saw Yinti reprimanding Hongyu.
"How can you, as the older brother, take your younger sister hunting? She's only three years old. What can she possibly hunt? What if something happens to her?"
Hongyu, who was about half a year old, lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.
Seeing that he was still carrying a rabbit in his right hand, Yinzhen stepped forward to help him out, saying, "Hongyu, did you hunt a rabbit?"
Hongyu turned around and saw Yinzhen and Yinzhi. He bowed respectfully and greeted them before saying, "I just took my sister hunting, but we only caught one rabbit."
Yinzhen patted Hongyu on the shoulder, "There won't be any large prey around the camp, probably just pheasants and rabbits. It's great that you took your sister out hunting, not only to take care of her safety, but also to catch a rabbit."
Hongyu's eyes lit up. "Does Fourth Uncle really think his nephew is amazing?"
Yinzhen nodded seriously, "Of course, Fourth Uncle never lies."
Yinti was too ashamed to look at him.
How come he never noticed before that the fourth brother was so good at fooling children?
Hongyu immediately perked up, realizing that he was still quite capable and not as useless as his father had described.
Seeing his son showing off again, Yinti couldn't help but kick him. "With your fourth uncle's hunting skills, he naturally thinks it's great that you hunted a rabbit. But you are my son, and you will become a Baturu in the future. How can you show off just because you hunted a rabbit?"
Yinzhen glared angrily at Yinti, "Elder, what do you mean by this?"
Yin Zhi coughed lightly and explained, "My elder brother means he looks down on you."
Yinqi and Yinzhen immediately looked at Yinzhi and said, "Shut up!"
Yin Zhi touched his nose, feeling somewhat innocent.
The eldest brother, however, ignored Yinzhen's angry glare and even glared back defiantly, "Not convinced? Let's have a go?"
Yinzhen suppressed his anger and flicked his sleeves, "I have to go find Father Emperor, so I don't have time to deal with you."
After saying that, he was about to walk forward, but Yinti took a step back and blocked his way, saying seriously, "Father is discussing matters with the tribal leaders. You cannot go in."
After saying that, he glanced at Liang Jiugong not far away and said, "That guy was kicked out, how could we let you in?"
Yinzhen always knew that his father did not easily trust others, especially when discussing matters of life and death. He would kill any passing flies, fearing that they might leak secrets.
He glanced at the memorial in his hand, looking somewhat troubled.
Yinti didn't notice that he was holding a memorial delivered by express courier. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you have time, take the two children to play. When Father Emperor has time, I will send someone to find you."
After thinking it over, Yinzhen realized that this was the only way.
So he took Hongyu and Wenxi to play on the nearby playground. Yinzhi originally disdained such childish things, but he couldn't resist Yinzhen's insistence, so he had no choice but to obediently listen.
So the guards near the playground saw the usually stern-faced Yinzhen and the gentle and refined Yinzhi playing wildly on the grass with two teenagers.
After playing for an unknown amount of time, the two children were so tired that they lay down on the grass and refused to get up. Yinzhen and Yinzhi had no choice but to each carry one of them back to the tent.
When the two brothers went to Kangxi's tent again, they saw the eldest and tenth brothers standing obediently not far from the tent, like two door gods guarding it.
Yinzhen frowned and pointed to the tent. "What's going on inside?"
Yinti glanced at Yin'e, "It seems the situation is a bit deadlocked when it comes to choosing a wife's family for the tenth prince."
Yin'e pursed his lips speechlessly.
What does it mean to choose a wife's family for him? The situation is somewhat deadlocked.
Even if he were a cabbage, surely he could be sold?
Moreover, he was the son of Emperor Kangxi with the best family background, second only to the Crown Prince.
If it weren't for the fact that the Niohuru clan was too prominent and might hinder the crown prince's path to the throne, why would they have chosen a Mongol consort for him?
Yinzhen understood the intricacies of the matter, but the memorial in his hand was simply too hot to handle.
"Brother, why don't you send the memorial in? I'm really afraid there might be an emergency in the capital."
Yinti looked at the memorial that Yinzhen handed over with a puzzled expression, only to find that it was an urgent message delivered by an official from 800 li away. He immediately turned around and walked into the camp.
Just as Liang Jiugong was about to stop him, Yinti kicked him away.
Yinzhen and the others dared not trespass and could only obediently stand outside to wait for news. However, not long after Yinti went in, they heard a cry of surprise from inside.
The three brothers exchanged a glance, then turned and rushed into the tent.
