The next morning, loud slogans echoed from outside the courtyard. Qingyan opened her eyes, rubbed her cheek on the pillow on her right side, and Yin got up early again.
Su Lan stood outside the door, and hearing the noise from the inner chamber, she quickly led the servants in. Qing Yan sat on the bed with a blanket and had Su Lan help him wash and dress.
"When did the training start outside?" Qingyan felt a surge of frustration as she listened to the shouts outside.
Yin, Yin and E'shuo focused all their energy on training. Qingyan sat in front of the dressing table, listening to the sounds coming from afar. She noticed that Yin had made some oversights in what he said.
The trainees run every morning and evening, and the running route is from far to near, running along the wall of the second gate, which is still a distance from the backyard.
In the plan designated by Eshuo, there was no difference in rank; all soldiers would be grouped together and trained together without distinction of rank.
The assessment of generals includes more content, with some combat command tests being conducted at the end.
(To be completed before 2 PM)
Yin carefully observed the courtyard. Qingyan probably wanted to reduce the number of servants. This incident was caused by the servants from the military port. Yin felt that it didn't matter whether these people were there or not.
"Hmm, that's about right. The kitchen is a bit empty, so we need to buy more winter supplies. Apparently, there are very few markets here in winter, only twice a month, once on the first day of the lunar month and once on the fifteenth!" Qingyan had found out everything about the situation. She had two children with her, and if she wasn't careful, they would suffer.
What?!
Yin's eyes widened. Was she telling the truth?
If he had known beforehand, Yin would never have left the children behind; he would have sent them directly back to the capital.
No wonder Kangxi asked him in advance whether he wanted to take the twins away. He had been thinking that if the twins were raised in the palace, the Yuqing Palace would definitely have even less to say. Now, however, he was somewhat flustered.
“If we store this much stuff, we can buy more and store it at your place. Recently, we’ll have to trouble Xiao Guai to take care of the three of us.” Yin enjoyed having Qingyan take care of us.
Pfft!
Qingyan laughed directly. Yingenjueluo had discussed it with her and decided to reduce the number of servants around her as much as possible. Apart from the personal servants brought from the capital, all the others had been reorganized and handed over to the military port as service personnel.
The two women were going to experience what it's like to be housewives, taking care of the husband and children's three meals a day.
“There will be two cooks in the small kitchen, that will never change,” Qingyan said directly to Yin. “My sister-in-law thinks so too, after all, we all need to take good care of the family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin became very interested. Qingyan rarely worked with the Yin Genjue Luo clan. This time, they made the decision directly, only reminding them behind their backs without saying a word more.
"Really? How come your sister-in-law is causing trouble with you too?" Yin smiled, knowing that Qingyan was bound to cause a ruckus again.
snort!
She scoffed, "You've noticed, haven't you? This crisis was created by those so-called lackeys again. How can we trust them? There are too many uncertainties at the naval port. For the sake of our children, we must eliminate these dangers one by one."
Qingyan's words struck a chord with Yin, revealing that his woman did not trust him.
"My little darling, how could I let you and the children be in danger?" Yin held Qingyan and sat on the soft couch by the bed, pinching her little nose and whispering in her ear.
“You’re too busy. The children are playing in the garden, and the servants have ulterior motives. In the end, it will be the children who will truly be harmed!” Qingyan was unequivocal and resolutely stood her ground.
Qingyan is extremely stubborn when it comes to matters concerning the children.
She sighed. The situation outside was unstable, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Yin, so Qingyan and Yingenjueluo Shi did everything themselves.
"Don't tire yourself out. Besides the people from the Imperial Guard, the children also have Father Emperor's people around them. Don't worry about them being in danger." Yin smiled and revealed his hand to Qingyan.
Before leaving, Emperor Kangxi repeatedly instructed the Dragon Guards that anyone who dared to harm the twins should be dealt with immediately.
Unlike the guards Kangxi arranged for Yinzhi, the Dragon Guards could only appear directly when Yinzhi's life was in danger.
"Really?!" Qingyan exclaimed in surprise. "Why would Father Emperor send someone?"
She looked at Yin in alarm, wondering if he had done something wrong.
"Don't worry, the twins and Songkri Erha are all accompanied by people. Things can change unpredictably in the naval port. Father Emperor is worried that the children might be harmed by someone with ulterior motives." Yin admitted that Kangxi's actions also included the idea of having them monitored.
The navy selected for the naval port was trained at great expense by the Qing Dynasty. If someone with ulterior motives were to infiltrate the navy, it could cause a great uproar for Yinqi.
"How many people are being selected at the naval port?" Qingyan had already stopped the children from going out. Those who were being selected would go into the back courtyard, which would damage the reputation of her sisters-in-law.
“They’re all in the training grounds and dormitories,” Yin reassured Qingyan. “Those people won’t come in here. There are guards from my brother and me at the gate leading to the backyard, and guards also stand around the walls. We absolutely won’t let anyone with ulterior motives in.”
Qingyan was relieved to hear this. All the naval personnel had undergone rigorous selection, and E Shuo was even kept behind to help the two of them build their naval force.
"Hehe, there are dozens of generals, all of whom are elites selected from various military camps. My father-in-law didn't want my two brothers-in-law to take on this responsibility, so I was forced into it!" Yin understood that he had this opportunity entirely because of Fei Yanggu.
"So many generals? How many people will be selected?" Qingyan remembered that modern special forces select personnel through rigorous training and selection, eliminating unqualified personnel time and time again.
"We'll be selecting about ten generals to lead. Little darling, this training is going to be very tough, so don't go watch anymore," Yin instructed Qingyan in advance.
Back then, during the training of the new army, Saito and Eshuo took Qingyan to the training ground and watched as those people went through the tests time and time again according to the training plan formulated by the three of them before the new army was formed.
“However, I’ve read through all the plans E Shuo gave me, and I have to say, some of the training methods in them are absurd.” Yin shook his head helplessly. “You mean, to help Shi Tou hold his breath until the allotted time is up, and then let them cut the ropes themselves? What if something goes wrong?”
