Should we wait another half an hour?
When Kangxi heard about the unreasonable demands of the Mongol leaders from Li Dequan, he couldn't help but frown. Yin was still young, and those leaders didn't take him seriously at all, as if he was just someone to keep them company.
At the entrance of the camp, Yin walked over with Yin Genjueluo Shi and whispered to Yin to try to avoid direct conflict with the Mongol leaders, who were very powerful on the grasslands.
The hunt the day before had infuriated Yin, and he wanted to vent his anger. If Tulichen hadn't been with him, he might have actually confronted the Mongol leaders directly.
"Brother, don't worry, I know my limits. If these people dare to bully others behind my back, I won't hesitate to let them know that the men of the Aisin Gioro family also have tempers!" Yin's lips curled up slightly. These people really don't know what they're talking about.
Yin nodded. The fourth brother should have done better than him. The Mongolian leaders also had a deeper understanding of Yin. The news that he had captured the Wild Horse King made many leaders hope to include Yin in the list of potential sons-in-law. Even if Qingyan wanted to obstruct it, he would have to go through some trouble.
Qingyan pursed her lips. Kangxi didn't ask the princes to fight back, but remained silent. He probably wanted the princes to confront each other directly, and then Kangxi would step in as a peacemaker after the incident.
Yin Genjue Luo secretly reminded Qingyan to pay more attention to the main wives, as these women had caused Yin Genjue Luo a lot of trouble in the past two days. It was probably because she realized that Yin Genjue Luo and the others were somewhat wary of them.
Qingyan is different. Xiaoguai has financial resources that they don't have, and the Mongol wives are even more worried that Qingyan will cut off Mongol trade.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to take revenge!" Qingyan started racking her brains, pondering how to deal with these people.
Yin Genjue Luo laughed. Xiao Guai keeps his promise. It's good to let those women suffer a bit.
"Hmm? Will it work?" Yin Genjue Luo was a little doubtful. Xiao Guai wanted to subdue people without making a sound, which was quite a big move.
Qingyan blinked. She held Linglong Pavilion and Yuelai Inn in her hands. Whether the Mongol wives wanted Linglong Pavilion's jewelry or not, she wouldn't mind letting it flow to Jiangnan.
After all, Jiangnan is a prosperous region, and those things would definitely fetch a good price.
"Fourth brother, keep a close eye on Xiao Guai. Last time we went hunting, someone almost shot an arrow at your sister-in-law!" Yin protected his wife, which prevented those people from succeeding. If they had succeeded, the situation would have been much worse.
real?!
Qingyan looked at Yingenjueluo with suspicion. How bold must those women be to shoot arrows at someone during a hunt?
Yin Genjue Luo nodded. If Yin hadn't tackled her off her horse, the consequences would have been unpredictable. Little Yierha might not have had a mother.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you tell Mother?" Qingyan tried hard to recall Consort Tong's advice, but the part about being shot in the back was not among them.
Yin Genjue Luo quickly shook her head and said, "We don't have any evidence. Even if we did, it wouldn't be convincing. Besides, do you think those women's unreasonable arguments will work?"
After thinking for a while, Qingyan realized that her sister-in-law was right. If she really said it, it might alert the women and make them wary. However, Qingyan had an even bigger problem. The Mongolian brother did not appear during the hunt the day before yesterday, and today it was different. The list that Sulan reported basically included one or two princesses of the right age for the imperial concubine selection.
Their meaning was self-evident, and Qingyan felt uncomfortable all over.
Not only did they have to accompany the women, but they also had to provide the beauty of a certain fourth man to seduce them.
"Sister-in-law, there will also be Mongolian princesses participating in today's autumn festival!" Qingyan was truly exhausted; every one of those princesses was proud and arrogant.
In the past, how many Mongolian noblewomen were in the harem of the Qing emperors? It was always the Mongolian noblewomen who suppressed the Manchu noblewomen.
It wasn't until Emperor Kangxi's imperial concubine selection process that Mongolian noblewomen were no longer able to truly monopolize the harem.
"They went hunting too?" Yin Genjue Luo asked in surprise.
Previously, these princesses had also wanted to participate in the hunt. If it weren't for Yin sticking to his post and talking to the leaders, insisting that no eligible young women should be included, things would have been even more complicated.
"Yes!" Qingyan nodded helplessly.
"Fourth brother, how could it be someone?" Upon hearing this, Yin felt that something was amiss.
“When I got the list from Father Emperor before, those girls weren’t on it. Later, people said that the Mongolian princesses hadn’t gone hunting since they arrived here and had stayed in the camp. They should have gone hunting a few times by now. Besides, Third Brother set a precedent when he went hunting!” Yin was very disgusted with Yin Zhi’s actions.
Two of the Mongolian princesses encountered during the hunt entered the Third Prince's backyard.
Yin was most annoyed by such matchmaking. They were all principled. The girls who had not gone through the selection process were all Kangxi's people. How could they, as princes, steal Kangxi's girls?
However, Yinzhi did not think so. Kangxi rarely held grudges against the princes. When he encountered similar situations, he would simply ask if the princes liked it. As for Yinzhi being secretly taken into the inner palace, Kangxi would just turn a blind eye.
"Don't worry too much about the third prince. He has a very good relationship with the crown prince. Just let them take people in!" Yin and Yin are the most considerate to their primary wives. The other wives are very jealous of this, but there's nothing that can be done about it.
When they heard that Yin would go out and that the Mongolian princess would also participate, the Crown Princess and Dong E were very happy, as they wanted to see the lively banquet.
"Brother, we don't need to worry about it. I won't let anyone plot against me behind my back!" Yin was tired of such scheming. The Mongolian princes were obviously plotting something. Among the princes, Yin had the fewest women in his harem. Most of the princesses were the legitimate daughters of the leaders.
"Little darling, be careful. Those women will usually attack you from behind. If you encounter someone shooting at you from behind, tell Yin immediately!" Thinking of her own experience, Yin Genjue Luo Shi quickly told Little darling.
After hearing this, Qingyan simply nodded. Before even setting off, Qingyan already had a headache.
She had originally planned to hunt with Yin and then go out for a trip together, but little did she know that the two days and one night of hunting would turn out to be a deep trap.
When Yin Genjue Luo mentioned what happened the day before, she kept telling Xiao Guai to be careful and not to fall into those people's trap.
"Also, when we rest at night, Fourth Brother must make sure Erlu guards the tent entrance!" Yin spat, not wanting to tell Yin what had happened that day.
What those women did was somewhat offensive to the ear.
Qingyan looked at Yin Genjueluo with a questioning gaze, while the latter merely nodded slightly.
Thump!
Her heart sank to the bottom. Had these Mongolian princesses abandoned even the most basic sense of shame? (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.)
