Chapter Seventy-Four: A Qing Banquet to Train Songkelierha



During a barbecue, the trainers began to look at Yingenjueluo and Qingyan with new eyes. The royal methods of training children were being shown to outsiders for the first time. They could understand that training Songkelierha was for her future, as she had reached the age to learn manners.

On the contrary, the twins were too young, so the Fourth Prince's wife had the heart to send them to Songkri Yierha's side to be trained together. Yin and Yin's authority was overwhelming in the camp.

Qingyan stood on the platform, looking down at the trainees. Fear was evident in their eyes. She understood that if Yin could harm the twins, he would certainly harm them as well.

“Sister-in-law, letting the children have a barbecue this time is actually a good thing.” Yin Genjueluo came from a family of military generals, and she was even more sensitive to the gazes of the crowd. They had begun to submit from the bottom of their hearts.

Qingyan nodded. Yingenjueluo was right. She listened to Eshuo's arrangement and specially sent the twins to act as the vanguard. They adjusted the atmosphere in the camp effortlessly.

"Sister-in-law, call the twins back. Let them go out and make a show of it, that will do." Yin noticed that the three children were still by the brazier, and his heart trembled with fear.

Yin, on the contrary, sat relaxed in the armchair. Yiken was a boy, so early training was a good thing for him.

"Fourth brother!" Qingyan smiled calmly, but Yin felt uneasy and immediately turned his attention to Yin, telling him to go and hold the child.

Yin shook his head. When it came to spoiling children, the other four combined were no match for Yin. Not only his daughter, but even his twins were protected under Yin's wings.

“Brother, Yiken’e is a prince!” Yin reminded him.

Back then, Kangxi and his children were not very old. They could endure hardships, so why couldn't their children endure the same hardships?

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin poked his forehead with his riding crop, his face full of anger.

"How old is Yiken'e? How old are you!" Yin rolled his eyes at Yin. "Father Emperor put Yiken'e here, not for you to train him."

Yin sighed helplessly, "You all spoil Yiken'e too much. If the brat can't get something, he just goes to Father Emperor to ask for it. What can I say?"

In fact, Yin had discovered Yiken'e's actions long ago. He and Qingyan were the first hurdle, Fei Yanggu and his two sons were the second, Consort Tong was the third, and Kangxi was the fourth.

Whenever he has something he likes, he reports it up the chain of command, and Yiken will start by conquering the first hurdle.

"Hmph, Yiken'e is so obedient, what else are you dissatisfied with? You feel uncomfortable about the little thing he wants, don't you!" Yin retorted.

Yin strode forward and picked up the twins, one on each side. Songkelierha breathed a sigh of relief. With the twins here, she not only had to attend to her own affairs, but also had to devote more energy to watching over them.

She was afraid they might make any unnecessary movements that could injure the twins.

Within the palace, Consort Hui also mentioned that in Emperor Kangxi's heart, the status of the twins was slightly lower than that of Yiken'e.

"Songkelierha, come back with me. Leave this to us servants!" Yin looked at the blazing sun outside and immediately instructed his daughter to leave with him.

Under the blazing sun, Yin and Qingyan felt comfortable leaving the child outside and even squatted by the charcoal brazier.

"What kind of parents are you? The children are squatting there while you're sitting in the tent!" Yin placed the twins in high chairs and fanned them tenderly. "And you, your daughter was sweating, and you didn't even call her back."

Unable to speak of Qingyan, Yin directly vented his frustrations on Yingenjueluo Shi.

“Father, Mother is right. Fourth Aunt said we must master this skill. We may face many difficulties, and having another skill to make a living will allow us to survive even when we encounter danger.” Songkri Yierha admired Qingyan very much. Among the royal women, she wanted to learn from Qingyan.

On ordinary days, Lady Yingenjueluo often told Songkelierha about Qingyan's actions. The wives of officials would all do business outside, but only Qingyan could extend her business to the inner courtyard. The women dared not be presumptuous in front of her. She did not have to deal with the wives of officials or engage in diplomacy. She could just live as she pleased.

"Little girl, are you telling the truth?" Yin noticed the adoring look that Songkriyirha was giving Qingyan. She beckoned to the little girl, and Songkriyirha ran over immediately.

"Fourth Uncle, I want to learn how to do business from Fourth Aunt!" Songkelierha lived in the backyard and didn't think there was anything wrong with doing business. Which of the women's methods wasn't based on money?

"What?!" Yin glared angrily at his daughter.

"Brother, don't interrupt." Yin sat in his chair, looking at the little girl in front of him with a serious expression. "You need to know that business people have a very low status. Even your fourth aunt doesn't fully manage the shop."

Songkelierha puffed out her little chest and said, "Fourth Uncle, I understand your worries. I admire Fourth Aunt's abilities!"

Qingyan looked towards Yingenjueluo's side. If Songkelierha could learn it, he wouldn't need his in-laws' support. With more private money, he could hold his head high in his in-laws' house.

As time went by, Lady Yin Genjue Luo discovered that Qingyan was different from her other sisters-in-law. In front of Emperor Kangxi, Qingyan's words carried great weight. Even the Empress Dowager could not influence Emperor Kangxi, but Qingyan would occasionally be questioned by Emperor Kangxi.

“Alright, Songkelierha, if you want to learn from your fourth aunt, it might be very hard!” Qingyan agreed instead. Hutulifengshengzhalafen also wanted to learn, and it would be good for the two sisters to learn one after the other.

After all, her business acumen was largely influenced by later generations, so Qingyan was still able to instill those conventional business principles in them.

"Sister-in-law, isn't this a bad thing?" Yin was still confused, so Yin used his fan to block the view and whispered a few words in Yin's ear, which made Yin's expression relax.

“Don’t listen to your older brother. I’ve put Songkelierha in front of you. The little girl is very envious of Linglong Pavilion. She always says she wants to start another shop and be on par with Linglong Pavilion.” Thinking of her daughter’s ambition, Yingenjueluo Shi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Fourth Aunt is the best. Among the royal women, whose reputation can compare with Fourth Aunt?” Songkriyirha pouted and said.

Yin and Yin Genjueluo exchanged a glance and decided to support their daughter and place her in front of Qingyan for instruction, so that they could have an easier time.

"Yes, brother and sister-in-law, if you're not worried, I'll take the little one to learn!" Qingyan still asked the couple.
