Chapter Seventeen: A Camping Reunion (Part 1)



Dong Eshi's words were deeply imprinted in Qingyan's heart. Even though Qingyan didn't say anything, Yin could still feel her humility towards the socialites.

After discussing with Fei Yanggu and others, Yin decided to take her to relax properly.

"Qingyan, get up quickly, we're going camping outside in a bit!" Yin whispered to Qingyan as he lay down beside her pillow. Her rosy cheeks from sleeping were incredibly cute to him, and he wished he could wake her up every day.

Reality is the most devastating. Fei Yanggu, Saito, and Eshuo are all very wary of him, and under normal circumstances, they absolutely cannot let this guy get close to Qingyan.

"Hmm...where to?" Qingyan opened her eyes, her gaze slightly confused.

"Let's go camping in the countryside." Yin gave her a good morning kiss. This was a strict rule of Qingyan. Whenever Yin came to wake her up, he would give her a good morning kiss. She liked to see Yin hesitate and then kiss her.

At that moment, a crack appeared on Iceberg Four's face.

Qingyan squinted sleepily, her small body held in Yin's arms. Yin personally changed Qingyan's clothes for going out. Such an action was considered rebellious by Fei Yanggu and the others.

"Good girl!" Yin changed her clothes and kissed her pink cheeks. He really had been patiently waiting for Qingyan to grow up.

After breakfast, Qingyan stood on the steps, hands on her hips, directing her servants to carry the camping gear. Watching the baskets of things being loaded onto the carriage, Qingyan's irritability disappeared.

"Let's go." After returning from the morning court, Fei Yanggu and his two sons would meet up with them in the suburbs. Yin held Qingyan in his arms, letting her rest well.

Every day, Qingyan sleeps until she naturally wakes up, and her sleep time is much longer than today.

Qingyan held Yin's waist with both hands, gently patting her back with his right hand to help her continue to sleep peacefully. He held the Four Books in his left hand and slowly read them.

Even after he left the palace, Yin's studies gradually increased, and he was no longer as relaxed as he was in the palace.

The carriage slowly drove out of the city. Dong Eshi sent the servant who was watching Qingyan to hurry back and report. After hearing that the Fourth Prince had taken Qingyan out of the city, Dong Eshi's face slowly turned green.

Which prince in a minister's residence would be so indulgent towards his eldest daughter? Both Lady Yin Genjueluo and she were restrained and tried to minimize their time with the princes.

During the morning court session, Emperor Kangxi noticed that Fei Yanggu seemed restless. He couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with Fei Yanggu, who always worked diligently every day.

After the morning court session, he specifically instructed Li Dequan to stop Fei Yanggu from leaving. After inquiring, Kangxi became happy, as his fourth son was preparing to go on an outing.

"Feiyanggu, is Yinzhen really doing this voluntarily?" Kangxi couldn't believe that his fourth son had always been an icy person, never changing his expression even when teased, and was not fun at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant is in a hurry to leave!" Fei Yanggu always obeyed Qingyan's every command. Fei Yanggu would sometimes object to Kangxi's imperial edicts, but he would carry out Qingyan's orders without question.

"I will take Consort Tongjia with me." Kangxi thought that Consort Tongjia had always missed Yin, so he decided to take this opportunity to let the mother and son meet.

"Yes." Fei Yanggu regretted that his concealment skills were not good enough, allowing Kangxi to see through his disguise.

Their group will have to be much larger than usual! Every time Emperor Kangxi left the palace, he was accompanied by guards and secret agents. It must have been exhausting.

"Go change into your everyday clothes first, and you can take your secret guards with you!" With Emperor Taizong's approval, the eight major Manchu families each kept their own secret guards to protect the heirs of these families.

Fei Yanggu nodded helplessly. As soon as he stepped out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he wondered whether he should send a message to the two children.

"Master, news has come from the manor that the Fourth Prince and Miss have gone to the suburbs." Akdun walked to Fei Yanggu's side and whispered to him.

“Yes, all the people we brought will go into hiding. His Majesty and Consort Tongjia will go with us later.” Fei Yanggu’s frustrated words stunned Saito and Eshuo, who had just entered the room.

Once a concubine enters the palace, it is very difficult for her to leave. Unless Emperor Kangxi takes her on an inspection tour, she is confined to the Forbidden City for her entire life and cannot move around.

After the reign of Emperor Taizong, the women of the Ulanara family used various means to avoid entering the palace as imperial concubines. Over several generations, their connections within the harem became much weaker.

Once Fei Yanggu takes up the position of Commander of the Nine Gates, Qingyan Banquet will definitely be reserved for the prince.

Emperor Kangxi's decision to send the Fourth Prince ahead of time, allowing the two young boys to develop a relationship, was a significant concession.

At this moment, the two people sleeping soundly in the carriage were unaware of the great surprises that awaited them at the campsite. To ensure his two young masters could sleep more peacefully, the coachman drove the carriage very slowly.

The carriage stopped, and the servants who followed outside knelt down in unison to pay their respects to Emperor Kangxi, Consort Tongjia, and Fei Yanggu. Upon hearing the noise, Yin rubbed his eyes with his right hand and patted Qingyan, who had been disturbed by the sound.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Kangxi appeared in Yinzhi's line of sight with a kind smile.

At this moment, Yin's act of holding Qingyan made Kangxi laugh. Yin sat on the carriage seat with a tense little face, holding a fair and tender little girl in his arms. Despite their movements, the little girl hadn't woken up yet; her rosy cheeks and slightly open mouth indicated she was still asleep.

"Father Emperor... why did you leave the palace?" Yin exclaimed softly.

Emperor Kangxi rarely left the palace during the day. On the one hand, he had to review various memorials, and on the other hand, he needed to summon some ministers who were reporting on their duties.

"Come here, let me hold Qingyan!" Kangxi took the little one from Yin's arms. Her skin was so delicate and her baby fat was so chubby that he couldn't help but want to pinch her cheeks.

However, the menacing look of that old scoundrel Feiyanggu forced Kangxi to abandon the idea.

"Your Majesty, please hand Qingyan over to this servant." Fei Yanggu felt awkward. He was clearly Qingyan's father, but every time, this brat Fourth Prince would take advantage of him.

Seeing Fei Yanggu get his comeuppance made Kangxi extremely happy; finally, someone could stop this troublemaker.

"Stop changing hands, she's still sleeping!" Kangxi strode towards the tent that had been set up, and Qingyan's small figure disappeared from Yin's sight.

"Mother..." Having spent a lot of time with Qingyan, Yin had also learned to act coquettishly. This cry of "Mother" surprised Consort Tongjia.

Is this still her son?

In such a short time, he has learned to act coquettishly. She has to admit that Yin is more in line with his age now.

It seems that the area outside the palace is more suitable for Yin's growth.

"You've really grown up. Are you happy there?" Consort Tongjia was even happier because of the good relationship between Yin and Qingyan.
