After Kangxi summoned Yinhe and Qingyan, their villa remained as lively as ever. After Qingyan directly refused several princesses from outside the Great Wall, they did not cause any trouble.
"Fourth Prince, those wives didn't say a word and just left." When Qingyan went to bed, she lay on Yin's chest and told him about the day's events.
"Of course, they wouldn't dare to go against Father Emperor. No matter who we refuse, they'll all think it's Father Emperor refusing them." Yin unkindly made Kangxi take the blame.
Ugh!
Qingyan was both amused and exasperated. Yin had a habit of deliberately tricking Kangxi, a habit that seemed to have been there since childhood.
"What's the big deal?" Yin asked casually. "Mother always says that Father is there to ward off disasters."
Pfft!
Qingyan spat out his tea. It turns out that Yinzhi was such a troublemaker because of Consort Tong's excellent upbringing.
"It's nothing for the two of us to talk about this!" Yin didn't care; Qingyan certainly wouldn't betray him.
Qingyan nodded sleepily, and his hand slipped inside her undergarment.
Early in the morning, Qingyan was groggily woken up by Yin's deep voice, which startled Qingyan.
She touched her aching lower back with her small hand, and glared at Yin with her almond-shaped eyes.
"We should rest today. After breakfast, shall we just stay in the study? The children were brought to the palace by Father Emperor this morning, who said that the three of them were going out," Yin said helplessly.
Crucially, the twins happily skipped away, and as Yin watched the carriage disappear into the distance, a slight pang of sadness welled up in his heart. He had always hoped to be the most important person in his daughter's heart; he placed Qingyan first, and his daughter second.
"Pfft!" Qingyan chuckled, then stood up and was pulled into Yin's arms. "Why does your tone sound so sour?"
His large hands were kneading her waist, and Qingyan closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying Yin's service.
"Of course, when my daughter grows up, she will go to someone else's residence. I can only pamper her for a dozen or so years, so of course I feel sad!" Yin could understand Fei Yanggu's thoughts to some extent. Back then, he was often troubled by Fei Yanggu.
Qingyan felt a pang of sadness upon hearing Yin's words. She would have been even happier if she could have kept her daughter until she was twenty.
In the royal family, apart from the princesses who were married off to Mongolia, the remaining princesses would generally get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
"Fourth Prince, I understand. It's good to let the child play more!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen was kept by Kangxi's side to temper his temperament.
"Father Emperor summoned the sons of several powerful officials in the capital today. They are about the same age as my daughter, including the sons of Yin Jitai and Ortai!" Yin said directly.
The son of these two men was once a powerful minister and doted on his wife, so for their daughter, this was the best possible outcome.
"Could it be that this person was arranged for the little girl?" Qingyan was stunned.
Yin nodded: "Father Emperor values the sons of Ortai and Yin Jitai more."
Qingyan was slightly taken aback. Both of them were powerful ministers during the Yongzheng era, and their two sons were also capable. Although they were not among the powerful ministers, they were both capable.
"Well, this matter still depends on fate. If my daughter likes these two people, I agree!" Qingyan believed in Yin's arrangements and would definitely not let her daughter go to the Mongolian grasslands.
"Of course, Father Emperor said in private that he will not allow his daughter to be married off to another country!" Yin felt that by entrusting his daughter to Kangxi's care, he would make Kangxi love his daughter even more.
Qingyan was relieved. She had been very unhappy that Yin had sent the children to the palace so often, but his explanation made Shuyun realize that sending the children there was actually a very good option.
“Songkelirha has also entered the palace, so Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen won’t stand out too much.” Yin heard that Songkelirha’s husbands were mostly military generals.
In his view, his daughters' future marriage prospects still leaned towards families of Manchu military officers.
"Fourth Sister, do you think the little girl will cause trouble?" Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen is a troublemaker. In front of strangers, she can maintain the demeanor of a royal princess, but in front of familiar people, she is definitely a little devil.
Inside the palace, Consort Tong watched as Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen played chess with Songkelierha, completely ignoring the boys.
Yiken'e was very attentive to his two prospective brothers-in-law and two prospective brothers-in-law. Previously, both Yin and Yin had said that Yiken'e was the eldest boy in the two mansions, and he was exceptionally protective of his sisters, while also trying to restrain Duoxihun and Hafenga.
Kangxi took the memorial and sat down on the other side, keeping an eye on Yiken'e's actions out of the corner of his eye.
Yiken'e was the youngest of the boys, yet he was the one who kept subtly influencing the development of the conversation.
Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong exchanged a glance, very satisfied with Yiken'e's performance, and even thought that Yiken'e was really great.
"Grandma, shall we go outside and soak up some sun?" Songkriyirha felt a little uneasy under the intense gaze from the other side and prepared to take Hutulifengshengzhalafen to have a good chat under the grapevines outside the palace.
"Shu, give the chessboard and tea to the two maids, and go with them. Make sure someone keeps watch and doesn't let anyone disturb them," Consort Tong gave the order directly.
Inside the palace, some people need to be more disciplined, so it's a good thing to have the imperial guards and maids on guard.
"!" The two little girls understood that Consort Tong was trying to protect them.
This isn't the capital, after all. There are bound to be spies inside the palace. If they were ambushed outside, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
In addition, Songkrilha is already over 6 years old, so we need to be a little more careful.
The two sisters left immediately. Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen was very familiar with the courtyard, so she sat on a wicker chair and looked at the grapevine trellis.
"Sister Songkelierha, you weren't playing chess with any focus!" Hutulifengshengzhalafen said with a slight pout.
"There's someone in the hall who keeps staring at me, and I feel a little uncomfortable!" Songkri Erha said helplessly, as the little girl opposite him had a stubborn temper.
"What?! How can someone be so insolent? I'll have Ahhun deal with him!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen was raised by Yiken'e to go to Yiken'e whenever he encountered difficulties or problems he couldn't solve.
“No need. Those two are guests of the Emperor’s family. What can you expect Yiken’e to do?” Songkri Yierha said helplessly.
Ugh!
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen smiled helplessly. If the Emperor invited them, then they should be treated with respect.
