Bang!
At dawn, a loud noise outside the tent woke Yin and Qingyan. He quickly put on his everyday clothes, glanced out the window, and made sure to cover the bed curtains tightly before getting out of bed.
"Eru, what's happening outside?" Yin asked his personal bodyguard, the assassin who was responsible only to Yin after he came to his side.
Erlu instantly appeared and reported, "There's been a problem with the leader of the Northern Desert's tent."
They rarely concern themselves with the affairs of the Mongol leaders. On his way there, Erlu noticed a large number of imperial guards hurrying in that direction.
What?!
"Yes, keep an eye on things over there, and watch over the people around you. Don't let anyone get involved." To prevent anyone from framing or slandering him, Yin had to be strict with the people around him.
"Yes!" Erlu replied softly, and then floated away.
Inside the tent, Qingyan sat wrapped in a blanket, wondering whether he should go and check on the situation over there. If anything was going wrong for them, he could help them out.
Yin wasn't in a hurry. He stretched his back towards the window, turned around to the bedside, personally lifted the curtain, looked at Xiao Guai's adorable little face, and leaned down to kiss her little mouth.
"Good morning, my little darling." Lately, Yin has had very little time to cuddle with his little darling.
Since they had twins, the couple enjoys taking care of their children during their time off, which makes him feel that the days are passing by so quickly.
When the "Good Morning 1" banquet began, the voice was a little low.
Hearing the familiar voice, his heart leaped with joy. His smile widened, and a sense of peace settled over him.
"Fourth Brother, what's all the commotion outside?" Qingyan leaned against him, half asleep, her little face rubbing against his casual clothes.
The gold threads on the brocade made her feel very uncomfortable.
"They say there's a problem with the leader of the Northern Desert!" Yin Zong felt uneasy. "Little darling, can you tell me what the problem is?"
The eldest son of the leader of the northern desert is about the same age as Songkelierha. Could it be that he is trying to use this to set a trap for the royal family?
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyan opened the screen. Sure enough, only the tent of the leader of the Northern Desert had caught fire unintentionally. The leader and his primary wife were discussing what benefits they could get from the royal family by taking advantage of this disaster.
"They're here for Songkri Yierha, Fourth Brother, should we remind our elder brother?" Qingyan asked, looking at Yin.
"No need. Tulichen, Erlu, and Santa will investigate together. Father should make a decision." Yin shook his head, relieved that the twins were alright.
Qingyan was still a little worried, so she quickly pushed Yin aside, prepared to get up, put on her ordinary clothes, and rush to the imperial tent to check.
"Don't rush, let's wait for Father's summons. Right now, every move we make will be caught out," Yin advised Xiao Guai, telling her to calm down.
Qingyan pouted and her little face scrunched up. In the morning, the twins needed to eat complementary foods, not just simple milk.
"Sulan, come in and help me wash up. Sushu, remember to prepare the baby food," Qingyan instructed.
Su Lan had already brought in the maids to fetch water. Since the marriage, Yin had made a rule that no eunuch could enter the inner chamber before Qingyan had finished washing and dressing.
Therefore, Yin began to wash and groom herself, while Su Peisheng and others waited outside to help her change into her everyday clothes.
She had finished washing and dressing, and changed into a sky-blue palace dress with matching boots. Her hair was styled in a small swallowtail updo, adorned with a gold hairpin made of pink diamonds and a Gesang flower design. Her jet-black hair was decorated with light pink accents.
"Let's have breakfast first, then we'll go to the imperial tent!" Yin calculated the time and realized that Kangxi should have just gotten up. If they went there now, Kangxi might overthink things. In order to avoid making Kangxi overthink, Yin decided to have breakfast first and then bring the child's annual complementary food with them.
"Hmm!" The Mongol chieftain and his primary wife rarely ate breakfast. After the emperor arrived, they also had to get up early and slowly get used to eating breakfast. Then, they waited in the tent for Kangxi's summons.
After breakfast, Li Dequan personally came to Yin's tent and whispered to him about the situation with the leader of the Northern Desert. Sure enough, those people were after the two young princesses of the royal family.
Kangxi was both obedient and extremely annoyed, and directly ordered Tulichen to investigate the accident that happened in the tent, which should be the key.
"Yes, Anda, I'll go there with Xiaoguai right away," Yin said seriously.
After seeing Li Dequan off, Yin came to Qingyan's side, his face gloomy and unpleasant.
“Little darling, our guess was right. They’re after Songkelierha. However, they’ve also set their sights on our youngest daughter. Father has refused. Once you’re there, you and your sister-in-law will take care of the twins together. The inner tent is only separated by a screen, so you should be able to hear the conversation outside.”
With the wives of the emperor present, the leaders would spread rumors, and they would feel more at ease knowing that the emperor did not approve of the princesses marrying into the family.
"Yes, I understand!" Lady Yin Genjueluo was probably also very worried. Among the princes' residences, their two residences had princesses. Therefore, when they encountered the Mongol leader, Yin and Yin were the most annoyed.
At the entrance of the imperial tent, the two families of Yin and Yin met. The two men looked very unhappy. Yin Genjueluo held her daughter's small hand and solemnly walked in.
At this moment, only Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong were inside the imperial tent. When they saw Songkri Yierha, smiles appeared on their faces.
After everyone paid their respects, Consort Tong stood up first and looked at her two daughters-in-law, saying directly, "Have you all heard about what happened? Neither of your daughters will marry into this family. You should keep a close eye on things."
These leaders, having just taken office, are somewhat arrogant, believing that they are all capable enough to have been chosen by Emperor Kangxi. Now, Qingyan has to admit that their foolishness will not only bring disaster to their respective families, but also cause trouble for themselves.
"Mother, I brought the baby food." Qingyan specially had egg custard taken from her space and also prepared some egg tarts for Songkelierha.
The food was served, and Songkrijerha was immediately drawn to it; egg tarts are irresistibly appealing to women and children alike.
"Mother, please have some too." Qingyan had prepared quite a few egg tarts, ready to entertain everyone.
Consort Tong watched as Lady Yin Genjue and Qing Yan fed the twins complementary food. The two little ones had a good appetite, eating the egg custard with tiny bits of meat floating on top. The two children loved it.
"Little darling, is it okay for you to feed the children this so early?" Madam Yin Genjue Luo was a little doubtful. When her daughter and the twins were this age, they hadn't started on any complementary foods; they only drank milk.
“No problem, there’s no smell in it,” Qingyan said directly.
Although she could make the children something a little mushy, and it didn't taste good, the steamed egg custard became the two little ones' favorite.
"This steamed egg custard smells very good, it should be quite nice," Qingyan said directly.
Songkrilha enjoyed a delicious egg tart while waiting to have breakfast in the royal tent. (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.)
