After lunch, Yin and Qingyan strolled around the camp. As they walked, they looked around at the scenery. The guards would respectfully bow to the two of them as they passed by.
She keenly noticed that some of the guards who had been transferred over had strange looks in their eyes. Some guards were simply amazed, while a few were wary and inquisitive. These few became the focus of Qingyan's attention.
The Crown Prince and the other princes hid in their tents, not wanting to come out at all. Yin heard Qingyan's suspicions and, after thinking about it for two days, decided that the two of them should come and see who this person really was.
"Four...is this back-and-forth strolling really going to work?" Qingyan asked with a slight upturn of her lips, as if she were in a very good mood.
Those guards probably hadn't received any special training and likely couldn't speak the language.
"Probably." Yin's eyes were fixed on the distance. It seemed that Xiao Guai was unable to escape the schemes of these leaders, and even his sister-in-law was being targeted.
Originally, Yin had no women on his side, which was normal for the leaders of the Mongol tribes to take a liking to. So what was going on with Yin's side?
He always felt there was something wrong. Kangxi sent people to investigate secretly, and he discovered that the leaders also hoped that the girls in their families would occupy the position of primary consort.
Today, some people in Mongolia have not yet realized their true status, and some are still dreaming of being high above others.
The newly appointed leaders were unable to suppress the resistance within the tribe, so many people still had to follow the arrangements of the tribal elders.
"Fourth Prince, look over there!" Qingyan glanced over and noticed two guards peeking around the Crown Prince's tent, probably keeping an eye on it.
Even the Crown Prince was not spared. He patted Qingyan's little hand, telling her not to look too much.
Not far from the place of trouble, they encountered Yinzhi and Dong'e coming out. Their faces showed disdain and mild anger. Yinzhi couldn't help but feel a little strange. This place was far away from their tents. They shouldn't be taking a walk after a meal.
"Fourth brother, you and your sister-in-law are out?" Even though Yinzhi and Yinzhi didn't get along, the two brothers wouldn't show it on their faces. When they spoke, they would both have smiles on their faces.
In front of Emperor Kangxi, the princes all displayed brotherly affection, but in reality, their feelings were already quite thin. For the sake of power, none of them would give up their feelings.
"Yes, Third Brother, what brings you here?" Yin asked, puzzled.
Yinzhi's heart skipped a beat. The guards sent by Dong Eshi were on duty here, and he instructed the two of them to keep a close eye on the Crown Prince's movements.
All the princes worked together to make the Crown Prince completely lose Kangxi's favor, so that each of them would have hope.
Emperor Kangxi had only one legitimate son, the crown prince; the rest were all sons born out of wedlock.
"Yes, I came here directly with your third sister-in-law. Didn't you accompany the two little ones?" Yin Zhi felt envious when he heard that Kangxi had kept the twins by his side.
Who could be as fortunate as Yinzhen, whose first legitimate son was twins? If he had listened to his mother's advice and fought for the Qingyan banquet, would that honor have become his own?
The more Yinzhi liked Consort Dong'e back then, the more he loathed her now.
Dong Eqishi cannot be compared with Fei Yanggu, and Qingyan is even less comparable to Dong Eshi.
"No, they're all asleep." Yin didn't want to hurt Yin Zhi's feelings about this, so he gave a very vague answer.
The two children were sleeping, but the location of their sleeping was not mentioned.
"My dear, if you have a day off tomorrow, let's go out for a stroll together," Dong Eshi said, forced to invite him under the duress of Yin Zhi's gaze.
"Third sister-in-law, unfortunately, I already have an appointment with my eldest sister-in-law," Qingyan said directly.
Qingyan would never accept an invitation that was not to her liking. As soon as she finished speaking, Dong'e and Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Among the several wives, Yingenjueluo and Qingyan had children. The topics they were discussing were something that the remaining Crown Princess and the Third Prince's wife could not join in on. The Fifth Prince's wife, Tatara, was even closer to Qingyan and the others.
Unmoved by the Crown Princess's instigation, the Third Prince's wife gradually stopped speaking to her.
"Fourth Prince, you all enjoy your stroll. Your Third Sister-in-law and I will head back first." Yin Zhi smiled awkwardly and left with his Third Princess.
For the time being, he couldn't argue with Yin, but he did feel that things were getting serious.
During the conversation, the guards around Yin glanced in their direction several times, seemingly thinking they were having a great time.
"Okay!" Yin glanced at the group of people out of the corner of his eye, forcibly suppressing a smile from his lips.
Qingyan and Yin watched the couple's retreating figures, and a smile appeared on their faces simultaneously.
"Fourth Prince, it seems the Third Prince is hiding something." Qingyan looked ahead, preparing to examine the five guards standing in front of him to see if anything was amiss.
After all, two of them came from the new army, and Qingyan would not leave any threats around Ahhun.
"It must be Third Sister-in-law's family sending people over!" Yin said directly.
Faced with Suo Xiang's actions, the in-laws of the princes did not remain idle. Except for Fei Yanggu, who did not shy away from Kangxi at all, the rest of them did some things behind the scenes.
"Give it away?!" Qingyan was stunned.
Weren't the guards brought from the capital?
Why would the Dong E clan send people from this place? Every family has its own place of origin. This place is clearly Mingxiang's territory. Could it be that Mingxiang made a deal with Dong E Qishi?
"Don't overthink it, it has nothing to do with us." Yin presented her with some superficial phenomena he had encountered outside. As the primary consort, she should be able to handle things independently when he was not in the mansion.
"It's not about aesthetics, it's that Father Emperor doesn't want us to participate, is it?" Yin was someone who enjoyed watching a show.
Under Kangxi's orders, he had to suppress his curiosity.
“Yes, we know too much, and it’s easy for people to have designs on us. Don’t you also want to go out with the children?” Yin pleaded with Kangxi for a few days’ leave.
For the first two days after their return from their long absences, Emperor Kangxi hoped that the twins would stay by his side until they returned to Beijing.
As parents, they had no choice but to rebuild their relationship after returning to Beijing.
"Where is my sister-in-law?" Songkriyirha was also startled. She even fell ill on the way. She should relax properly.
"Big brother is on holiday too!" It was rare for Yin to see Yin resting.
Unlike other places, military camps rarely offer holidays except during the Spring Festival, when families can reunite during their time off.
"Should our two families go to the suburbs together?" Qingyan thought it would be more fun if both families went together.
"No need, my elder brother and sister-in-law are preparing to leave the capital with the little girl." Yin asked Yin if they were planning to go to the border region for a few days.
ah?!
Qingyan was stunned. Wasn't it said that the Emperor was not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial edict? (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
