Back in the tent, Yin held Qingyan as they lay down on the chaise longue, his arms around her. If possible, he didn't want Qingyan to take any risks. After all, going to war was dangerous, and if he didn't come back, Qingyan might have to shoulder the burden of taking care of three children without anyone to protect her.
If Qingyan had gone with them, Kangxi would have taken meticulous care of the three children. Did Yin choose selfishness or did he not want Qingyan to suffer any injustice?
"Little darling, you know that if I board the ship, I will definitely take you with me!" Yin said directly.
Qingyan's lips curled up slightly: "I understand, so I'll go with you!"
Even if Qingyan manages to save her own life at the last moment, she will now tell Yin that the incident did not happen, as he intended.
"I hope you don't mind," Yin said helplessly.
"Fourth Brother, is Tenth Brother really going to board the ship for training?" Qingyan asked curiously. "Weren't we just talking about how to prepare for a tsunami? How did the topic turn to training?"
"Actually, it was my brother's idea to go out to sea for training. Zhuang Yan only showed up at the military camp because of my father-in-law and you. Otherwise, he would never have shown up!" Yin knew this person.
"Who exactly is this person?" Qingyan was very curious. Yin and Fei Yanggu, father and son, all respected this person.
"This man was the youngest commander under my command, but he stayed here when the other party left, saying he wanted to retire. In reality, he went into hiding. We don't know his name in the navy over there, but we do know his name here." Yin didn't hide anything and said it directly.
She rolled over and lay on top of Yin, her fair little hands wrapping around his neck.
"Stop fooling around!" Yin reached out and patted her pert buttocks, saying helplessly.
"Fourth Brother, I'm so glad you didn't go on board the ship for training!" Qingyan's eyes reddened as she looked at Yin. "Actually, I wasn't happy that you were in danger!"
Qingyan would occasionally show a little sentimentality, letting Yin know that she cared about him.
"I know," Yin said, clearly pleased. He hadn't felt this way in a long time since Yiken'e and Hafeng'a were born. Qingyan had focused all her attention on her two sons, and had really relaxed her attitude towards Yin. "My little darling."
In the early morning, Yin Xian woke up and looked at the naked little body in his arms. A smile appeared on his lips. He quickly helped her put on her undergarments before getting up and calling Su Peisheng in.
It was raining outside the tent, and the raindrops were pattering against the tent.
"Master, the Tenth Prince and Elder Zhuang have already left. Just after 1 AM, the ship left the naval port, and the Tenth Prince's wife also went with them!" Su Peisheng informed Yin that Yin and the Tenth Prince's wife had left first.
"Yes, when Xiao Guai wakes up, remember to tell her that we'll stay at the beach for a few days before going back!" Yin wasn't in a hurry to go back. It would be good to stay here a few more days and wait for Yin's safe return so that everyone could go back together.
“!” Su Peisheng agreed, and after helping Yin to wash up, he quickly relayed the message.
During breakfast, Yin told Yin his thoughts, leaving Yinxiang and Yin behind. The two sat at the table, still looking sullen.
"The tenth prince has already left, so even if you two wanted to leave, you couldn't!" Yin said.
"Fourth Brother, we two are free of trouble, why send Tenth Brother instead of us!" Yinxiang and Yinren both understood that Kangxi's intention in sending them here was that it was better to go out than to stay here and be protected.
Yin glared at Yinxiang and said angrily, "Eat!"
Yinxiang and Yin dared not say anything more and ate their meal in silence. Yin's gaze made them both afraid to speak.
After the meal, Qingyan sat down to Yin's left and watched as Yinxiang and Yin stood in front of their two older brothers, heads bowed, waiting to be reprimanded.
“Thirteenth and fourteenth princes, your father sent you here to ensure your safety. Now, you’re causing trouble here. Do you understand the dangers of this voyage?” Yin was the eldest of the princes present and acted as their father.
Yinxiang and Yindu both lowered their heads, looking as if they had done something wrong.
"Brother, we know we were wrong!" Yinxiang and Yin exchanged a glance and admitted their mistake.
They were simply resentful: "Brother, do you know why we came here? It's clearly the fault of the Mongol princes, so why should we be the ones to come out?"
Yin believed that as a prince, he should be of a much higher status than those Mongol princes.
Yin laughed. Yin was too young and did not understand how important the balance of power in the previous dynasty was to the Qing Dynasty. If the Buddha had been so generous, he would not have been sending princesses to marry foreign rulers in his previous life.
Although firearms had made the Mongolian princes behave themselves and prevented Emperor Kangxi from sending the princesses there to suffer, these princes were still resentful.
"For the sake of balance!" Although Yin was in the military camp, he was aware of the affairs of the previous dynasty. "You haven't attended court yet and don't know these things. If you don't come out, Father Emperor might be in a very difficult position!"
Yinxiang and Yin were stunned; they had never imagined that such a thing would happen.
"Eldest brother" Yin was stunned. "We are princes!"
Yin laughed. No matter how many times he was born, he always had a bad temper, believing that as a prince, he should have a higher status than ordinary people.
hehe!
Both Yin and Yin laughed. Qingyan covered her mouth, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling with laughter. Yin was still very cute.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, why are you laughing too!" Yin Ke didn't dare ask her two older brothers, or she might get scolded. Qing Yan was different; she couldn't scold them.
Qingyan shook her head; there were some things she couldn't say.
"Your fourth sister-in-law may not be able to say anything to you, but Fourteenth Prince, you are a prince. If Father Emperor doesn't protect you, and the princes from Mongolia put pressure on you, what will happen to you?" Yin asked.
Yin looked at him in astonishment. Inside the palace, Consort Tong managed the palace affairs and did not allow anyone to criticize Yin and others. Therefore, Yin did not understand Kangxi's sense of balance as an emperor.
After he finished speaking, both Yinxiang and Yinreng fell silent. What Yinreng said had stunned them. They realized that they had already fallen into such a predicament.
"Fourth Brother, are you telling the truth?!" Yin asked, coaxing Tiger Eyes as he looked at Yin.
"If it weren't for this, why would the Crown Prince be in his current predicament?" Yin asked in a low voice.
Instantly, Yinxiang and Yin fell silent, their minds beginning to ponder things they hadn't considered before. Perhaps, what their two elder brothers said was right.
