Qingyan nestled in Yin's arms, listening to what Yin said, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
The relationship between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty was not as good as it was made out to be; sometimes, Mongolia would even sabotage China behind its back.
Qingyan's expression grew increasingly grim. She knew Qingya would suffer if she came over, and even though the two of them didn't get along, she didn't want her sister to be bullied by those brutes.
"Fourth Brother, we can't let Qingya suffer. She is Father's biological daughter after all." Qingyan pouted and whispered to Yin.
Those leaders, seeing the emergence of new weapons from the Qing Dynasty, naturally hoped to gain Kangxi's assistance through the primary consorts who had married into the Qing Dynasty.
These leaders couldn't see Emperor Kangxi all the time, but the wives of the princes could see Consort Tong and several princes' wives. They could offer some encouragement from the sidelines. Having these weapons was not bad; at least they wouldn't be bullied by outsiders anymore.
"Little darling, we need to think this through carefully. Don't be soft-hearted. Father Emperor will never allow weapons to leak out." Yin patted Qingyan's back. Qingyan had been too busy these past few days and hadn't been in a good mood.
Qiu Mi originally planned to take the little guy hunting in the jungle, but one thing after another caused Yin to be in a particularly bad mood. He always felt that if something happened to Qing Yan, it would definitely be because of him.
"Fourth Prince, do you think I don't know my limits?" Qingyan frowned, deciding not to say anything more to Yin. This was truly a headache!
"Tomorrow, I'll take you hunting!" Yin coaxed Qingyan, hoping she wouldn't get involved in this matter.
If it involved the inner palace, Emperor Kangxi would never punish them easily, as it might lead to other unpleasant consequences.
Night fell outside the tent, and Qingyan looked out the window at the starry sky, feeling exceptionally happy.
Those bloody scenes did not change Qingyan's mood. She knew that Yin wanted to help her change her mood, as the fighting outside was never good for her.
The interrogation tomorrow will be handled by Fei Yanggu and his two sons. Yin and Qingyan don't need to worry about it at all. Besides, Kangxi won't let his children get involved.
These people were eliminated from the imperial guards. They had undergone professional training beforehand. The two children were still young and not very experienced. If they were not careful, they would be drawn into disputes by these people.
Even if Emperor Kangxi wanted to groom Yin, he would not allow Yin to be involved.
A hundred miles away from the camp, Yin Feng led his soldiers back to the camp, covered in dust. He had left secretly, and stopped a dozen kilometers away, preparing to enter the camp in the middle of the night.
"Prince Zhi, is His Majesty really alright?" Yin Jishan was very worried. Before leaving the capital, Kangxi deliberately made a mistake and appointed him as a general in the Xishan camp, which was obviously a demotion.
Having followed Emperor Kangxi for many years, Yin Jishan understood that Kangxi was paving the way for the future. It seemed that the leaders on the grasslands had caused quite a bit of trouble.
"They're safe, Yin and Fourth Uncle are here!" Yin and Fourth Uncle had great respect for Fei Yanggu. Back then, when Yin went to the battlefield for the first time, if it weren't for Fei Yanggu, Yin might not have survived or returned. Therefore, when issuing battle orders, Yin would always follow Fei Yanggu's orders without any discount.
Yin's words reassured Yin Jishan. If others wanted to deal with it, Yin Jishan would probably come as fast as he could. That old man Fei Yanggu was quite capable.
“You and the Fourth Prince are old friends, and you’ve been calling that old man ‘Uncle Fourth’ for so many years!” Yin Jishan was well aware of the feud between Kangxi and Fei Yanggu. She had always advised Fei Yanggu that serving the emperor was like walking on thin ice, and that he shouldn’t be too concerned about such matters.
"Hehe, if it weren't for Fourth Uncle, I wouldn't be here. Besides, my sister-in-law has been kind to my wife, and I should respect her!" Yin said, recalling the time when his wife had a difficult childbirth. If it weren't for Qingyan providing a thousand-year-old ginseng, Lady Yin Genjue Luo would probably be long gone.
In addition, Qingyan was under even more pressure after giving birth to Lady Yingenjueluo, and often made some delicious nourishing food for the First Consort. Perhaps she did not end up like the people in the Qing Dynasty history, who ruined their health.
Sitting around the campfire, Yin Jishan's expression improved considerably, clearly showing satisfaction with what Yin and the others had done. There was no infighting among the sisters-in-law; this was Daqing's doing.
The late emperor's actions led many Han officials to scoff at the Manchus' lack of discipline, and also drew discontent from many Manchu nobles.
"Lord Yin, Father Emperor entrusted me to Fourth Uncle and you for instruction. In recent years, I have been busy with military campaigns and have rarely had the chance to have heart-to-heart talks with you!" Yin felt very tired. As an emperor, Kangxi could not comfort his son as often as an ordinary father.
Yin Jishan and Fei Yanggu took on this role. Yin entered the army at the age of 15 and went from a prince who knew nothing to a prince who now holds military power. The hardships he went through are unknown to outsiders.
After Fei Yanggu left the military camp, Yin Jishan became his mentor and would often analyze the pros and cons with him.
"I didn't even have a chance to thank Madam for the things she gave the little ones!" Yin respected Yin Jishan very much, and he received the same affection he had for his father from Yin Jishan.
Even the clan chief Yin Genjue Luo, who raised him, couldn't give him this feeling. Perhaps he should seriously consider how to help the clan.
"Have you encountered difficulties?" Before, Yin was very mischievous. When he was fostered at the Yin Genjue Luo Mansion, he was often gossiped about behind his back by the family.
Yin nodded. His wife's younger brothers were all纨绔子弟 (playboys) who often caused trouble.
"Yes, I really don't understand. The Fujin (Prince Consort) has been avoiding her father-in-law's family, but as soon as her two good-for-nothing brothers-in-law get into trouble, her mother-in-law comes to the palace to cause trouble. The last time was when the Fujin was in confinement. If her sister-in-law hadn't been there and pushed her mother-in-law back, her father-in-law in the neighborhood would definitely have been affected." Yin was grateful to Qingyan in his heart. Every time something happened in the prince's quarters, Qingyan was always the first to arrive.
"You! There's no shortage of sordid things among women, and with Xiao Guai's Midas touch, many people are already jealous of her. Think about it, among your sisters-in-law, besides the First Princess Consort, how many of them actually have Xiao Guai's permission to speak?" Yin Jishan's wife often visited the palace to pay her respects and told him a lot about the situation inside the palace.
Those who had risked their lives with Fei Yanggu felt that Qing Yan owed them a great deal.
"Then tell me, what should I do?" The wives rarely said these things to him, and judging from the situation, Qingyan wouldn't tell Yin either.
The two were often tormented by the concubines and the Third Prince's wife, which Yin knew and felt sorry for.
He didn't want to say much, though, because if they got involved in these matters, the relationship between the sisters-in-law would become even weaker. Yin Jishan didn't want Qingyan to become the fuse.
It seems that Emperor Kangxi dotes on Qingyan very much, but if she gets involved in the princes' affairs, he certainly won't let her off easily. (To be continued.
