After dinner, Eshuo and Saito relieved Tulichen and went to Yin's tent. As soon as they entered, they were startled by the two people in front of them. The two brothers looked at each other and their bodies tensed up instantly. They looked around to see where Yin and Qingyan were.
"Ah Hun, it's me!" Qingyan pouted unhappily. The two of them never expected that the petite child in front of them was their little darling.
Their mouths gaped open in astonishment...
"My disguise pills!" Qingyan boasted. Eshuo patted his forehead. Xiaoguai always gave some pills to his family, and the health of the three of them had improved.
Many of those who went on the expedition with Feiyangu have developed numerous health problems, but his physical condition remains as healthy as it was back then.
After using Xiao Guai's medicine for a while, he could feel the changes in his body and trusted Xiao Guai even more.
"Little darling, is this... going to work?" Tu Lichen's disguise skills were superb, and E Shuo and Sai Tuo could also do it, but they were worried that they would be exposed.
"It should be good. It can maintain its appearance for more than twenty days, even better than Tulichen's human skin mask!" Yin would naturally speak up for Qingyan.
Eshuo and Saito looked at the black pill in their hands in disbelief. It was only the size of a soybean. Could it really be more effective than Tulichen's?
"Listen to my voice!" Qingyan stopped using pills to suppress his voice. Eshuo and Saito were stunned. Qingyan's voice was soft and sweet, like a boy's voice, completely lacking Qingyan's vocal quality.
"You... how did you do this? Even if we take pills, we can change our voices?" Neither Eshuo nor Saito had the ability to control their voices, so Tulichen was the only one of the three who could.
Since leaving Khorchin, whenever they speak with outsiders, it is always Tulichen who takes the lead.
"Of course, Si Si's voice has also changed," Qing Yan said smugly.
“Xiao Guai is absolutely right!” Yin’s voice rang out, and E Shuo and Sai Tuo were instantly relieved.
Several tribes in the northern desert had participated in the campaign against Galdan. If those leaders recognized Oshuo and Saito, things would certainly be unimaginable.
They didn't have the same background as the Khorchin, so they rarely interacted with the princes. Eshuo and Saito, on the other hand, were favorites of Emperor Kangxi and had more opportunities to interact with these minor leaders.
As they headed towards the northern desert, they always stayed close to the group, afraid that someone would recognize them.
"I'll eat first!" E'shuo threw the pill into his mouth, and after a cup of tea, he transformed into an ordinary, burly Manchu. "Saituo, this is not bad."
"Brother-in-law, after you go out, tell them you know the art of disguise," Yin instructed.
Despite Tulichen's diligent efforts to protect them, Yin will still be wary of him; Tulichen's loyalty will only extend to Kangxi.
"Yes, I understand!" E'shuo said. Just then, a commotion broke out outside. Saito's appearance had just changed by half. "You stay in the tent and protect Xiaoguai. I'll go out and check!"
E Shuo felt uneasy and quickly walked out.
Qingyan watched his back and quickly opened the video in her space. A lot of Mongol cavalrymen had arrived at the perimeter of the camp. They sat on their horses, holding torches in their left hands, and surrounded the camp on three sides.
Tulichen was the first to react, and was talking with a minor Mongolian chieftain.
She pursed her lips, worried about their safety.
"Little darling, you stay in the tent, I'm going to find E'shuo." Saito heard the voice getting louder and louder, and wanted to go out and help E'shuo.
“No need, we have Tulichen!” Yin shook his head. Saito had a fiery temper and was likely to offend people.
Qingyan stepped forward and grabbed Saito's hand. She couldn't let the two Ahhun go on an adventure at the same time. Eshuo was calm in the face of trouble, and he would always protect Saito and Qingyan under his wings whenever a problem arose.
"Fourth, it must be the people from the Northern Mongolia!" Qingyan looked at the leader of the group and felt that he had seen him somewhere before.
Just now, Saito mentioned that the minor leaders of the northern desert had all participated in Galdan's campaign, so she should have seen him in the camp.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin's body tensed up. Outside, guards disguised as servants surrounded the tent, as if afraid that someone would dare to rush it.
She watched as Tu Lichen mentioned Linglong Pavilion without changing his expression, and the other party clearly softened his attitude. She couldn't help but feel confused. Was Linglong Pavilion really that influential?
“All the Mongol tribes know that Linglong Pavilion is part of your dowry, and no one will dare to go against the imperial family.” Yin was relieved that Linglong Pavilion had made a name for itself, and Kangxi and Consort Tong made it clear to the public that Linglong Pavilion was part of Qingyan’s dowry and the imperial family had no right to manage it.
Qingyan was taken aback. Could this decision really have so many hidden meanings?
"Fourth Brother, the situation outside is not good." Qingyan had a headache. The Mongol leaders were not appreciative, and the guards were even preparing to attack the servants.
"Hmm? Tulichen can handle it!" Yin patted Qingyan's head and sat in the armchair to discuss the next steps with Eshuo.
They only traveled through the various tribes of Khorchin and heard a lot of rumors. Suo Xiang's men secretly went there. When they arrived, some minor leaders wanted to buy some fine jewelry from Linglong Pavilion and use Suo Xiang to suppress them directly.
"The people from the Suoxiang often come over, constantly bringing gifts. They have a very harmonious relationship with the Mongol tribes. When the Crown Prince was brought hunting by Kangxi for the first time, many leaders, in order to get closer to the Crown Prince, made many excuses to let their female relatives bring their eligible daughters to see the Crown Princess," Yin said directly.
ah?
"For several days, the Crown Princess often brought Mongolian princesses to the tent, saying she wanted to chat with me. I was puzzled; why would sisters-in-law need to bring Mongolian noblewomen along for gossip?" Qingyan sneered. The Crown Princess was indeed selfish.
The Crown Princess did not want the Crown Prince to marry a noblewoman from Mongolia, so the other princes became a shield.
"Are you sure it's true?" Yin asked.
E Shuo frowned. If the Crown Princess dared to scheme against Xiao Guai, the three of them, father and sons, would deal with it personally.
“Yes, I often went to my sister-in-law’s place during those days. It is said that the Crown Princess went to my sister-in-law’s place first, and then came to our tent last!” Qingyan felt that the Crown Princess had gone too far. Were the princes just commodities for the Mongolian noble ladies to choose from?
Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Father's attitude towards the Crown Princess is different from usual. He should understand what she's doing!"
He began to suspect that the Crown Princess was a magic wand.
The Crown Princess was once a role model for her sisters-in-law. In his later years, Emperor Kangxi even mentioned to him that while the Crown Prince was unreliable, the Crown Princess was a good one.
Perhaps the Crown Princess hid it too well, and in the end, they were all deceived.
The women probably noticed the Crown Princess's actions long ago, but they kept quiet because neither Emperor Kangxi nor he made a statement. Behind her back, they must have been gossiping about her.
