The Mongolian wives arrived on the grasslands and visited the primary wives of the princes one by one. From their intentional and unintentional conversations, they obtained quite a bit of information.
In the evening, Qingyan, exhausted from a long day, rushed over to Yin upon his return, pouting as she recounted the day's hardships. Meanwhile, Yiken'e and Hutulifengshengzhalafen were making a ruckus in the carriage.
As the twins grew older, Qingyan no longer needed to look after them every hour. Instead, the nannies and servants became even more attentive. The two little ones were still very excited to see their father and mother. The nannies and servants around them were basically personally appointed by Emperor Kangxi, in order to ensure the twins' safety.
"Are you tired?" Yin held Xiao Guai's hand and walked to the Youyou carriage. He bent down and teased the twins for a moment. Youyou said, "These wives must have come with the new leaders. They may speak bluntly, and even if they offend someone, they will not realize it until later."
Yin's analysis made Qingyan nod vigorously. These wives were just like that. It has to be said that these women were the real fighters.
"Yes, I'm really afraid that because of these primary wives, I'll be implicated as well!" Qingyan blinked and explained helplessly.
After an afternoon of interaction, Qingyan backed down. They were trying to uncover royal secrets in their conversations, and Kangxi repeatedly instructed that there must be absolutely no oversights.
His face darkened. "Little darling was able to mention Cihu? These women have gone a bit too far."
"Did they inquire about Granin's affairs?" Yin recalled that one of them was Granin's younger sister.
Gesanglan and Granin had a very good relationship. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager, the two of them would have been on equal footing as the primary consorts.
"Yes, Gesanglan's emotions are a bit unstable. I just said that Father Emperor has sealed my mouth, and I will not reveal a single word!" Qingyan said this in front of many Mongolian wives, so Gesanglan could not repeat her words and cause trouble for herself.
Qingyan tilted her little face up proudly, and Yin smiled, having dealt with the women's affairs. The little darling was so happy.
"It's only human nature!" Yin's big mobile game. Walking on Qingyan's waist, it has to be said that Xiao Guai's every move has attracted too many people's attention.
Qingyan stuck out her tongue. This is only human nature. According to the investigation, Granin and Gesanglan had not seen each other for ten years. She thought that the two sisters would be able to meet again, but she never expected that when Gesanglan arrived, Granin had already died.
"Fourth Sister, I dislike doing this kind of thing the most. On the contrary, Third Sister-in-law seems to enjoy navigating around these people!" Qingyan said, sounding a little aggrieved.
Many of the women had clearly come for Yinzhi, and Dong Eshi personally persuaded many people at the tent entrance to join Yinzhi's camp.
"Third sister-in-law is nothing to fear!" Yin was very confident in himself; Yin Zhi's victory was only temporary.
He had already planned out his future path. Apart from the eldest prince, Yin, the rest of the people had some bad habits. Yinqi had always followed Yin's lead, hoping to be able to help him.
"Huh?!" Qingyan was dumbfounded. He had someone follow him and obtained a lot of information, which made Yin speed up the progress of his work, fearing that someone would use Qingyan's young age as an excuse to harm him.
"There's nothing to fear. No, we should say we're normal people, there's no need to argue with those unreliable people!" Yin understood why she had been in a bad mood these past few days. She was just a lowly official, yet she had set up so many rules.
"Fourth Sister, how could I not be angry? Their words were so hurtful!" Qingyan was a little annoyed. Those people were only here for their own benefit, so why should she have to put on a smiling face?
"Yes, our patience is only temporary. Once Father Emperor has made his arrangements, we can take revenge!" Yin knew it was hard to endure, but she spoke very lightly. She really endured it, and her mood was extremely bad.
A knife hangs above the character for "patience".
These few words made Qingyan realize that the past two days had been very difficult.
Kangxi was fully aware of the alliance between the Mongols and the Crown Prince. Instead of taking any action, he merely dealt with a few of the more troublesome tribes, replaced their leaders, and only fined the remaining accomplices.
Kangxi's actions greatly surprised everyone. The Mongol leaders thought that Kangxi was genuinely afraid of the Mongol cavalry.
Back then, wasn't it because the Empress Dowager wanted to gain power in Mongolia that she killed the infant Eighth Prince?
"Revenge? It'll definitely take a long time!" Qingyan pouted, her fair little hand covering his.
“Yes, we have to wait ten days. Those leaders who are being controlled will all have some secret information. That’s why Kangxi made some concessions in order to obtain this information.” He whispered in Qingyan’s ear.
Yiken'e twisted his little body, watching Yin and Qingyan lean against each other like swans locked in a struggle, and he couldn't help but exchange moans.
Qingyan sensed the little guy's presence, quickly pushed Yin away, and glared at him with a hint of anger.
“Yiken’e is still young. When he grows up, he will definitely not remember anything.” Yin was determined not to give up his own interests. Besides, a child under two years old certainly wouldn’t have any memories.
His firm words made her face turn red instantly. Earlier, Yin had ordered the servants around him that they must not let the mother and her two children get into any danger, otherwise, the servants and shadow guards around them would all suffer.
"Even if that's true, you can't just lay hands on him!" Qingyan was getting annoyed. Yin always lay hands on her, and she couldn't talk to him properly.
The Mongol leaders encouraged their female relatives to move around, hoping to extract useful information from the wives and sons of the princes.
Unfortunately, despite sending precious items to the princes and their wives, they received very little information. Emperor Kangxi repeatedly instructed them that while they could accept items from the Mongol tribes, they had to have a detailed list and, more importantly, not to reveal any important information.
These harsh conditions caused the Mongol wives a lot of hardship. The Ingen Gioro clan and Qingyan were relatively easy to talk to; they would thank people for gifts. However, the Crown Princess and Dong E clan did not do so.
Two days ago, Emperor Kangxi summoned the Crown Princess from the capital and asked her to stay by the Crown Prince's side to advise him. How could a father and son hold a grudge overnight?
Even if a father and son fight, the father will not harm the son.
The Crown Prince's situation is an exception. The heir apparent is considered the future of the nation; even the slightest negligence could bring annihilation to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, they all harbor a sliver of hope that Yinzhi will not make any mistakes. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.
