A few days later, a fire in the camp gripped the hearts of the Mongol leaders, who feared that it was a secret plot orchestrated by Emperor Kangxi. Qingyan's explanation shocked everyone.
The wives all loved the jewelry from Linglong Pavilion, and some of them hadn't even noticed the markings. They went back to check the markings on the jewelry and found that many pieces had been replaced. They immediately began investigating the maids around them.
When Kangxi and Yinzhi noticed the actions of the Mongol wives, they couldn't help but smirk. They only became nervous when their interests were infringed upon.
Qingyan sat in the inner tent, holding a teacup and sipping tea. The two little ones, sent over by Consort Tong, were sleeping in the carriage. Consort Tong was surrounded by her wives, and people would often go to her to complain.
The twins, a boy and a girl, would be disturbed by the crying outside while sleeping inside the imperial tent, and they made a ruckus for several nights in a row.
Emperor Kangxi felt sorry for his two grandsons and granddaughters, so he quickly sent them to Qingyan. He planned to bring the two children back after the real culprit of the fire was found.
"Madam, the two Madams from Khorchin have arrived!" Su Lan's expression was not good; she had met these two Madams before.
When the Fifth Princess was choosing her consort, these two men caused her no shortage of trouble.
"Qi Buchen, Budashun!" Qingyan looked at the two women who appeared at the tent entrance and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
Back then, they were the wives of the Crown Prince, but this year...
"Master, these two have remarried!" Su Lan pouted, unable to adapt to this Mongolian custom.
ah?!
Qingyan was taken aback. The Crown Prince's wife had actually remarried?
"It is said that the two princes had an accident, and their female relatives were divided among their brothers. The current Prince of Khalkha is the prince's younger brother, so Buda Shun became a secondary consort, while the primary consort has long been out of favor." Su Lan said what she had heard.
Qingyan looked outside in surprise. So, they had these kinds of things going on.
"Let them in. They've already come over; we can't just turn them away at the door." Qingyan shook her head; Sulan was really incompetent.
At this moment, Buda Shun and Qibuchen stood at the door for a long time, and they no longer had the arrogance they had when they last met.
Their two legitimate daughters were also married off by the head of the family, and the candidates were quite good.
"This servant greets Consort Su!" Buda Shun and Qi Buchen greeted her.
"Rise and kowtow." Qingyan waved his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down first. "What brings you two princesses to my tent at this hour?"
Qi Buchen smiled bitterly. The Fourth Princess Consort was too well protected and had no idea about Mongolian customs.
“This servant is no longer near the Khalkha prince. After my master’s accident, the clan chief assigned me to the prince as a concubine.” Buda Shun smiled bitterly.
Qingyan was stunned, her expression somewhat strange.
"Are you two... alright?" Their legitimate daughters were both betrothed to other people after they got married.
"I'm fine, at least I'm still alive." Qi Buchen smiled. Their legitimate sons were all gone, having died of illness under various pretexts.
They all knew in their hearts that their family would definitely not keep the children. The daughters survived under their protection, but the sons did not.
"What brings you here?" Qingyan was puzzled, as she didn't get along well with these two.
Qi Buchen and Buda Shun exchanged a glance. They had come here hoping to escape the clutches of the primary wife, and they hoped that Tu Qingyan could help them make a decision.
"This servant hopes that the Fourth Princess Consort can help this servant and see if all my belongings have been replaced." They were all being manipulated by others, and although they appeared to be living a glamorous life, in reality, they were very cautious and careful.
Qingyan was somewhat surprised. They had come here for this reason?
"Back then, I was wrong. I beg you, Fourth Princess Consort, to be magnanimous and forgive me. Now, I only have a son and a daughter by my side, and they are still very young. I don't want to end up like Granin, who was killed by someone." Qi Buchen said in a panic.
Qingyan, being a mother herself, understood Qibuchen's concerns. For the sake of their children, they could endure any hardship.
"Bring them all over." Qingyan was willing to help because of the children.
Qi Buchen and Buda Shun exchanged a glance. Neither of them had expected Qingyan Banquet to be agreed to so easily. They had prepared a whole host of excuses.
Qingyan dismissed everyone and calmly asked, "You two have had a tough time. Did you bring your jewelry?"
Qi Buchen and Buda Shun personally took the packages from the maids, which contained items they had purchased from Linglong Pavilion.
From the former Crown Princess to the current Consort, they have all been favored. Their master has bought them a lot of jewelry, and the women in the inner quarters are quite interested in these items. They must also have spies around them.
After Qingyan opened the package, she found that these were basically the styles that Linglong Pavilion paid the most attention to. These two women were quite favored.
After examining each headpiece, her face darkened.
"Where did all these come from?" Qingyan asked directly.
Qingyan picked out several pieces of jewelry, and Qi Buchen felt uncertain. These were her favorite pieces, which she often wore on her head.
"Fourth Princess Consort, are these jewelry pieces really fake?" Qi Buchen asked in surprise.
Qingyan nodded. These ornaments were clearly deliberately imitated and manufactured.
"It would be best to have the imperial physician examine these ornaments. This gold hairpin might contain something ominous!" Qingyan whispered to the two of them.
She then picked out a few jewelry items from the package sent by Buda Shun and told the two men to be careful.
