During breakfast, Kangxi wondered why Yinzhi hadn't come over. He had sent the traitor in the middle of the night, but hadn't shown up himself, which was clearly not right.
Shu whispered a few words to Consort Tong, who then covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed. The fourth prince must have been holding it in for a long time.
"Xuan Ye, let's have breakfast first. The other two will be here later!" Consort Tong almost laughed. Yin had been tormented a lot while he was away, and since the birth of the two children, Qing Yan had focused all her attention on them, which made Yin very jealous.
Pfft!
Upon hearing the implication in Consort Tong's words, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but spit out his tea.
"The fourth prince is too reckless, daring to cause trouble on the grasslands!" Kangxi shook his head, thinking that youth is indeed a good thing.
At this moment, Yin stirred up Qingyan, and the shadows under her eyes spoke of the madness the two of them had experienced the day before.
She sat on the chair, supporting her back, her eyes shooting an angry glare at Yin. Last night... no, it was early this morning, Qingyan begged for mercy, but Yin still hadn't let her go.
"Four...we're definitely late!" She pouted, and after getting up, she first looked at the twins in the stroller. They had fallen into a deep sleep after drinking the wet nurse's milk.
Originally, Qingyan was supposed to breastfeed the children, but after Yin interfered, the children couldn't get any breast milk at all.
"Father and Mother will understand." Yin didn't care; Kangxi was more hoping that the two would have several healthy children.
Imperial Physician Yuan said that Xiao Guai's postpartum care was excellent, and she wouldn't get pregnant while breastfeeding.
"Understand what!" Qingyan was furious. Why has Fourth Prince changed so much?
Pfft!
Yin hugged Qingyan and laughed. Sulan combed Qingyan's hair into a small double bun and decorated it with two pomegranate flower gold hairpins.
"Alright, let's have our meal first and then head over!" Su Shu should have informed the Imperial Household Department in advance.
After breakfast, Qingyan and Yin walked one after the other on the grassland. The Imperial Guards placed the tents of Kangxi and the princes and ministers within the encirclement, while the tents of the Mongols were all placed outside the encirclement. She couldn't help but feel a little strange, as there was no such encirclement yesterday.
“Fourth…” Qingyan tugged at Yin’s sleeve. Today, the two of them were dressed in everyday clothes that looked like the sky after the rain, and they walked side by side.
When Yin Yi became the sect leader, he discovered this unusual problem.
After thinking about it for a moment, he had a better understanding of the situation.
The people sent over last night must have confessed some things, which is why Kangxi directly ordered the Imperial Guards to surround the Manchu Eight Banners.
Such actions will certainly displease the Mongols, and a tough battle is brewing today.
"Something must have happened, little darling. You must stay with your mother and don't run around!" Yin couldn't keep Qingyan by his side all the time, so Consort Tong's place was probably the safest place.
She sensed the tense atmosphere in the camp and quickly nodded, not daring to say another word, for fear that something might go wrong.
The two entered the imperial tent and found that Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong looked unwell, which puzzled them.
"Greetings to Father Emperor and Mother Emperor!" Kangxi waved his hand, signaling the two to rise first.
After taking her seat, Qingyan looked directly at Consort Tong, her watery eyes filled with question marks, which made Consort Tong laugh.
"Little darling, are you curious?" Consort Tong looked at Qingyan with a smile.
Of the four, Qingyan was the only one who didn't hide her emotions. When she saw Qingyan's little expression, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Mother..." Qingyan twisted her handkerchief shyly, realizing how strong her thirst for knowledge was.
Yin immediately frowned. Inside the tent, he had repeatedly told Qingyan not to overdo it...
"The imperial meal has been disturbed!" Consort Tong directly explained to the two children, and also wanted to remind them to be more careful.
What!?
Yinhe Qingyan was shocked. The imperial meals for Kangxi and Consort Tong were prepared by imperial chefs brought from the imperial kitchen, and outsiders had no way to interfere.
Did they make a mistake?
Yin raised his head and looked at Kangxi, saying, "Father, the imperial chefs have all undergone rigorous selection!"
Before his departure, Emperor Kangxi entrusted the selection process to the Crown Prince, so there shouldn't be any unexpected incidents.
Why did these lackeys all act so strangely once they arrived on the grasslands?
Kangxi took a sip of green tea, feeling a tightness in his chest.
Yin was the son he cared about the most, whom he raised himself, but Kangxi became wary of him.
"Fourth Prince, are there any problems at the Crown Prince's camp?" Kangxi had entrusted the Imperial Guard to Yinzhi and Yinzhi, who should be the most knowledgeable about the camp's situation.
"Apart from the servants who have been bribed in my and my elder brother's tents, the rest of the brothers are all fine!" Yin had to admit, though he was a little angry.
Kangxi felt a chill in his heart. Did the Crown Prince intend to take action on the grasslands?
On the surface, Yin was considered Yin's right-hand man, but since the birth of the twins, the relationship between the two brothers has never recovered.
The legitimate son!
This is a curse hanging over the princes' heads; apart from Yinzhi who had a legitimate son, none of the others have had a legitimate son born yet.
"Yes, Li Dequan will bring news soon, and E'shuo will personally lead people over!" The people Kangxi trusted most were Fei Yanggu and his two sons. Even though they had become the in-laws of the princes, they could still remain neutral, which was excellent.
Qingyan sat quietly to the side, serving as a backdrop.
"Shu, you and Sulan carry the two children to the inner chamber yourself. Lanya, you and Xiaoguai go inside and keep an eye on the children!" Kangxi was always worried that there might be another problem inside Yin's tent.
"!" Shu and Su Lan quickly went out. Qing Yan was a little confused by Kangxi's imperial edicts. Was this... too tense?
"Prevention is better than cure!" Yin told her using the space's communication method.
She winked at Yin; she would sense if anything happened to the two children.
"You two should be mindful of your behavior!" Consort Tong coughed twice and said directly to Yin.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyan's face turned red instantly.
When Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong found out about their actions, it was truly shameful.
"Mother, I understand!" Yin didn't think there was anything wrong with it and readily agreed with a smile.
Qingyan lowered her head, looking like she had done something wrong.
Kangxi gave Yinhen an approving look, and Yinhen's lips curled into a slight smile.
Soon, the two children were brought over, and Kangxi held Yiken'e in his arms, unable to help but laugh.
Now, Yiken'e's face has gradually changed, and she looks more like the fourth child back then.
"Yin, you mustn't show a cold face in front of the child." Kangxi noticed that Yiken's little face was stern, much like Yin's.
Pfft!
Consort Tong hugged Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen and laughed. Since he was a child, Yin had been pooping. If it weren't for his icy demeanor melting in front of Xiao Guai, they would have thought that Yin never laughed.
"Father, your son isn't being cold." Yin was annoyed; this brat had been causing her trouble ever since he was born. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
