After Fei Yanggu left the imperial tent with his children, Qing Yan clung to Fei Yanggu like a koala, refusing to let go.
Upon arriving at the tent, no matter how much Feiyangu tried to coax her, the little girl remained stubborn.
"Qingyan, sit down, aren't you tired?" Fei Yanggu sat in a chair, and Qingyan put her arms around Fei Yanggu's neck and knelt on his thighs.
Upon hearing this, Qingyan released his two little paws, sat on his lap, and stared at his two older brothers with his big, watery eyes.
“You must go too!” Qingyan understood that the Ulanara clan rose to power through military achievements, and as their eldest sons and grandsons, they had to shoulder the responsibilities. Saito and Eshuo originally wanted one of them to stay behind to take care of Qingyan.
Fei Yanggu felt that he had stopped them. The two of them were originally staying by Fuquan's side. This time, someone attacked the central army, and Fuquan was worried that something might happen to Kangxi, so he sent the two of them back.
Now all the problems were solved. If they didn't go back, outsiders would gossip, and the Ulanara family wouldn't allow deserters. She looked down at Qingyan; she didn't want Qingyan to show any signs of grievance, but she couldn't unconditionally spoil her daughter.
"Qingyan, we will be back to pick you up soon. We will make sure you don't get hurt!" Fei Yanggu commanded the battle but didn't charge into the fray. Saito and Eshuo, as the vanguard, were the most vulnerable.
Qingyan looked intently into their eyes, then nodded listlessly. She hated war the most!
She buried her face in Fei Yanggu's arms, silently warning them not to get hurt. Before leaving the capital, Qingyan had already given them antidotes and other medicines, and each of them had a bowl of soup prepared according to their physical condition.
"You must carry the little jade gourd with you at all times. If you encounter danger, just eat the little pills inside!" Qingyan looked at them seriously. Master Yuanyi's pouch had become a secret among everyone. Kangxi also knew that there were some life-saving pills in the pouch. However, Master Yuanyi said that anyone other than Qingyan would lose their life if they used it.
After hearing this, Kangxi gave up the idea of having Qingyan pay tribute. Master Yuanyi left Qingyan with many favorable conditions, and Fei Yanggu and the others were even more convinced that Qingyan would not harm them.
"Yes, in the camp, you must listen to the Fourth Prince and try not to leave the tent." With them gone, Qingyan suffered injustice, and only Yin could resolve it. This time, many princes from the imperial clan came along, and Kangxi, in order to balance the court, was very likely to abandon Qingyan.
She nodded obediently. Those people looked at her as if they wanted to devour her. In case anyone had any ulterior motives, she decided to follow Fei Yanggu's advice and act with Si Si, and absolutely not give those people a chance.
"Father, I'm awake. You all need to take good care of yourselves. I'll be waiting for you here!" After dinner, Qingyan was coaxed to sleep by Fei Yanggu. He sat by the bed, looking at his obedient little daughter, and his mood grew heavier. This was his last expedition. As long as he could return safely, he wouldn't have to worry about his daughter having no status or position.
At dawn, Fei Yanggu changed into his battle robes, wrapped Qingyan in a blanket, and carried him into the small tent. Yin heard Fei Yanggu's movements and quickly came out. Qingyan was still asleep. He placed her on the bed, and the little girl pouted her little mouth.
Fei Yanggu kissed her little face, and then left the inner tent with Yin.
"Fourth Master, Qingyan is entrusted to you. I hope you can protect him." Fei Yanggu's complicated expression made Yin feel uneasy.
Perhaps his actions did not reassure the three members of the Ulanara family. He will continue to work hard. In his previous life, he took himself too seriously. Fei Yanggu probably handed over his connections to Qingyan after discovering that he was not treating Qingyan well.
"I will protect her during this time and make sure she doesn't suffer any injustice," Yin replied respectfully.
Fei Yanggu patted him on the shoulder and left the tent. His little daughter was about to be carried off by wolf cubs, and the wolf king's cub at that.
well...
When Qingyan opened her eyes again, she found herself back in her tent. She turned her head to look at the soft couch beside the bed. Yin was sitting cross-legged on the couch reading a book, just like always. Had her father and brothers already left?
Surprisingly, she wasn't allowed to see them off to war. She said she couldn't sleep and had to wait until they left before she could sleep. Ammafei said he would wake her up then.
There was a slight movement on the bed, so Yin turned his head to look. The little girl's slightly angry expression made him even happier. Fei Yanggu really didn't understand Qingyan.
"Hmph, my brothers didn't even wake me up!" Qingyan was annoyed. Yin put Qingyan's waving little paws under the covers. It was still quite chilly outside. Today, there were quite a few servants peeking around their tents.
Yin recognized some of them. It seemed that Fei Yanggu's departure had stirred up the minds of those princes. As long as Fei Yanggu didn't come back, Qingyan's status would definitely decline, and a noble prince like Yin would surely give her up. Wouldn't that be their chance?
"Fourth Uncle is worried you'll catch a cold. It's still quite cold here before dawn." Qingyan had already changed into a light jacket. The temperature difference here is quite large, and Yin would rather Qingyan wear more clothes than let him get cold.
While helping Qingyan put on her riding clothes, Yin explained to her that before Fei Yanggu left, he specifically told her to use this excuse if she threw a tantrum.
"Hmph, Father and the others don't care about me at all!" Qingyan felt extremely wronged. This was the first time she had left Fei Yanggu's side, and she always felt uneasy without her father.
Yin sighed. Her aggrieved little face broke his heart, and he knew there was nothing he could do to help Qingyan turn things around.
“It’s not that I didn’t care, it’s that I cared too much!” Yin muttered to himself. “Let’s have breakfast first. Fourth Uncle said that he will come to pick you up and take you home in twenty days at most.”
go home!
Yin Ningke was the one who said those two words to Qingyan. Fei Yanggu's matter-of-fact attitude made Yin Ning feel depressed.
"Really!" she asked happily, grabbing his sleeve.
He nodded. The congee and side dishes on the table were specially approved by Emperor Kangxi. She ate her meal much later than those in the camp. Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and set up a small kitchen behind their tent. Su Lan often followed Qingyan's instructions to cook some delicious food and offer it to Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong.
This regulation has been retained from the marching route to the present day.
"These pickled vegetables are quite good. They have small, chopped chili peppers marinated in soy sauce and vinegar. They're perfect with rice!" Chili peppers are rich in vitamins, and they won't cause mouth ulcers!
Recently, she discovered that very few people in the military camp were free of mouth ulcers.
