Later, Yin and Qingyan emerged from the imperial tent, each carrying a child. The twins hadn't been with their parents for a long time. Yiken stared intently at Qingyan with his large, watery eyes, a toothless smile on his face.
"Yiken, you miss your mother, don't you?" Qingyan kissed him twice.
Instantly, Yin's face darkened, and outside the tent, Xiao Guai's emotions were once again on full display.
"Little darling, we're still outside." Yin looked at his daughter, who was well-fed and chubby, with a pink little mouth, and smiled.
After hearing his words, Qingyan couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
Outside the tent, Yin was bound by rules, and she could not do anything out of line.
She went into the tent, put the two children in the stroller, changed out of her outdoor clothes, tidied herself up, and sat on the soft couch. She felt really uncomfortable after being separated from the children for almost a month.
"Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen, do you miss your father?!" Yin squatted in front of the yo-yo, looking at his young child who was already able to sit up.
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen looked at the man in front of her with her watery eyes. Who was this person?
She tilted her head and looked at her brother beside her.
This person wasn't the one who kept teasing and taking care of her grandfather; she stretched out her chubby little hand towards Yin.
"Little darling, you haven't forgotten me!" Yin laughed, a hint of a smile finally appearing on his icy face.
Qingyan pouted, but the little girl didn't reach out to him. He smiled and hugged Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen.
"Sisi, Yiken'e misses me!" She smiled.
Yin looked at Yiken, and the little guy immediately pounced on Qingyan, putting his little head on her shoulder, not even looking in Yin's direction.
"Put the brat in the stroller. Boys shouldn't be spoiled." Yin directly objected to Qingyan hugging Yiken'e.
Ugh!
Qingyan was stunned. Yiken'e was still a child!
Waaaaah!
"Fourth Brother, didn't we agree that you would continue your education after Yiken turns three?" Qingyan asked, looking at Yin.
Before they had children, they had talked about it together, but now, Yin has started saying it in various ways.
Hmph!
He said, "Is it really that hard to be jealous with your son?"
"You little rascal, stop clinging to your mother." Yin picked up Yiken'e from behind, his son and daughter in his arms.
Qingyan smiled and lowered his head. Yin really liked children. He would always linger in Yiken'e's stroller for a long time, saying that he wanted to be a strict father and that he would be the one who doted on Haizi the most.
"You're one to talk, aren't you? You spoil your child too!" Qingyan wrapped her arms around him from behind.
He wore a faint smile, a gentle smile rising within him; this warm sense of happiness was something he had never dared to hope for before.
"Yes, I spoil you even more!" Yin turned his head and kissed her cheek. She pouted her little mouth. Lately, she always said that he loved the children more.
She would be jealous of Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, while he would be jealous of Yikene.
He preferred to let the two little ones stay with Kangxi so they could enjoy some time alone together.
"Tch!" Qingyan pouted; this guy was all talk and no action.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the Mongolian tents in the camp was tense. Many leaders felt uneasy when they discovered that Yin and Yin had returned.
After receiving news that all the princes had returned, the Khorchin people gathered together, frowning as they prepared to inquire about the news from Prime Minister Suo's side.
They staked the fate of the Khorchin people on the crown prince, even following the instructions of the Empress Dowager to treat everyone equally.
Without the powerful protection of the Empress Dowager, their lives were truly difficult.
"Chief, is there any news from the Crown Prince?" They really found it hard to believe that the Crown Prince had been defeated just like that.
All the princes were rejected by Kangxi, except for the Crown Prince...
"Not for now. The Crown Prince is here on behalf of His Majesty to entertain the distinguished guests from Mongolia. The Crown Prince's position is still very secure." Khorchin should have been the closest to the Qing Dynasty.
Now, their relationship has become increasingly cold, and even the leader of the Mongolian tribes in the north dares to challenge the Khorchin.
"Have you found out the princes' travel routes?" The chief looked at the chiefs below. These were all newly appointed chiefs, and they didn't trust each other much yet. They had only come together for their common interests.
"Not yet!" Hangai shook his head. This man had taken over the position of Prince and was under the jurisdiction of Prince Galu of Khorchin.
These two had been at odds since they were young. They never imagined that they would one day coexist peacefully.
In the past, with someone above them holding the line, the two could avoid seeing each other. Now, they have to bear all the pressure.
"Hangai, we need to find out what they want to do. A number of Mongol leaders have already fallen, which is undoubtedly a way to suppress us." Daryachi rubbed his temples. His eldest brother had been imprisoned in the secret camp ever since he was removed from his position as leader. He didn't know how many secrets his brother would reveal.
“I think we should find out if those people mentioned the Empress Dowager’s arrangements?” Hangai nodded. The balance between them and the Qing Dynasty had disappeared. After the Empress Dowager left, Kangxi no longer cared about her feelings.
"Even the Empress Dowager was helpless, and even said that the girls from various tribes should not even think about entering the palace!" Two generations of Mongolian palace concubines had not given birth to children, and the princesses who married into the palace still did not have an easy life.
"What?!" the new tribal leaders exclaimed in surprise.
In two years, it will be the year for the imperial concubine selection. They have specially prepared eligible young women to be sent to the capital.
"Don't even think about the princes. The fourth prince has few people around him. Look at Fei Yanggu standing there. Who would dare to touch the fourth prince's wife in front of him?" Hanggai smiled coldly.
A few years ago, the Khorchin used hidden agents to try to assassinate Fei Yanggu and his two sons, using a secret medicine from the Qiyan clan. However, the attempt was ultimately thwarted by a mysterious person.
This matter became a thorn in Kangxi's side, and he has been investigating the culprit for the past few years.
“Forget about that incident from before. They definitely won’t let that potential threat remain,” Daryachi said.
They were short-handed and, after discovering that several princes were missing, dared not make any moves and were unable to bring back their trusted confidants.
Now, they want to assassinate their former eldest sons, but they are all powerless to do so.
"We need to get rid of them!" Hangai said dejectedly. "The princes have all returned; we should send someone back to check on them!"
Daryachi agreed, after all, only by eliminating all the dangers could the tribe's rights be fully returned to their hands.
“Yes, this time we can only succeed, we can’t afford to fail. They’re definitely watching our people!” Daisang said.
Having been neglected since childhood, these children comforted each other and shared a certain unspoken understanding. (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.)
