Chapter Twenty-Five: Ordering the Expedition



The afternoon sun shone brightly on Qingyan, who was lazily lying on the soft couch. In a daze, a handsome young man with a proud demeanor walked over. She slightly raised her cheek, and her hazy eyes surprised him.

It was not yet Qingyan's nap time. After coming out of the study, Yin prepared to have lunch with Qingyan.

"Little darling, time to eat. We'll go to the woods for a barbecue later!" Qingyan likes to barbecue by the stream, but Fei Yanggu is worried about Qingyan's small frame and has always strictly controlled the number of times they go for a barbecue.

The court has been busy these past two days with Emperor Kangxi's expedition, and Fei Yanggu has not returned for two days. Just now, Su Peisheng brought news of the expedition, and Fei Yanggu is on the list of those to be sent.

"Mmm..." Qingyan rolled over and lay on top of Yin, who leaned down and kissed Qingyan's forehead.

The two were as affectionate as newlyweds. Fei Yanggu awkwardly but reassuredly handed Qingyan over to Yin. He had to be prepared for the worst; the battlefield was unpredictable, and anything could happen.

"Little darling, in a few days, your fourth uncle and your two older brothers will be going to the battlefield!" Yin pondered. With Kangxi and Fei Yanggu not around, the two of them would have to live a secluded life in their huge mansion.

"What?" Yin's words brought Qingyan to her senses completely.

When Yin told Qingyan about the expedition against Galdan, she was a little confused. Yin was still a child, yet he was going to fight Galdan?

She scratched her temples; it seemed her arrival had changed some things.

Will the fates of Fiyangu, Saito, and Oshu change?

Qingyan spent the day in a daze.

As midnight approached, she buried herself in the covers and went straight into her personal space. In front of her computer, she opened the store set up in the space and bought various lucky charms that could ward off disasters and pouches to prevent injuries and sudden illnesses. She also bought a lot of malaria and fever reducers.

She remembered that historically, Emperor Kangxi contracted malaria on his way to a military campaign. She knew her father and brothers had to be well protected; at the very least, they had to return safely.

Qingyan was not selfish; those medicines could save about ten people, including Prince Yu Fuquan and Prince Gong Changning, who had followed him on the campaign.

She bought the medicine, then looked at the ginseng and other life-saving herbs in her space. She had them processed into pills at the factory and put them into three jade gourds. Her father and brothers were already used to the gourds that Qingyan often sent for testing medicines.

They doted on Qingyan, always carrying her pills with them, which significantly improved the health of the three of them. Qingyan's jade gourds were soaked in spiritual liquid, which had a good effect on purifying the body.

Qingyan watched as everything was prepared before she went back to bed and continued to sleep.

Early in the morning, Fei Yanggu returned with his two sons. This time, the three of them went on the expedition together, and Qingyan would be left at the residence. Both Kangxi and he were not at ease with the Fourth Prince and Qingyan there.

With Lady Tongjia accompanying the emperor on this expedition, Lady Jue Luo will surely find an excuse to bring Qingyan and Yin to her residence. When they return, Qingyan is likely to be in trouble. At that time, in order to balance the court, Kangxi will make Qingya, who is being raised by Lady Jue Luo, become Yin's primary consort.

"Father, Qingyan is still young. Are you really going to take her with you?" Saito and Eshuo, as the vanguard, are going to fight together.

Fei Yanggu nodded. The two brothers understood that their mother would not let go of any opportunity to clean up Qingyan's mess. Their half-sister, Qingya, even looked at Yin with shining eyes.

"Father..." Qingyan heard Sulan say that Fei Yanggu and her brothers had returned, and she ran to the door without even changing out of her pajamas.

"How did Xiao Guai come out like this!" Fei Yanggu quickly hugged Qing Yan in his arms, and Akdun handed the cloak to Fei Yanggu and wrapped it around Qing Yan.

"Hmph, Father hasn't been back for so long!" Qingyan pouted, looking at Fei Yanggu and her brothers with a hint of reproach.

Fei Yanggu kissed Qingyan twice on the cheek and then asked Akdun to call Yin to the main courtyard to have breakfast together.

Today, Qing Yanmin noticed that Fei Yanggu and his two sons seemed off, and she tilted her head in confusion.

Eshuo and Saito exchanged a glance. Their delicate little sister had never experienced hardship. Could they really let her endure the wind and sun? Jueluo's actions towards Qingyan made the two brothers even more disheartened. Rather than let their sister suffer, they would rather just take her away!

Breakfast was served, and under Yin's care, Qingyan waved her little paws and ate voraciously.

"Today, I inform you two that in three days, His Majesty plans to personally lead an expedition, and you two children will go with him!" Fei Yanggu's words made Yin pause for a moment. In his previous life, Kangxi did not take them with him on his expedition.

"Fourth Uncle... Shall we go together?"

“Yes, with Consort Tongjia accompanying the Emperor, His Majesty and I are worried about leaving the two children alone in the residence!” Even without Fei Yanggu’s explicit statement, Yin knew that Jue Luo’s actions had crossed his father’s bottom line.

"Great!" Qingyan's eyes sparkled. She finally had a chance to go on an inspection tour, even if it was a war. Following Emperor Kangxi was definitely the right thing to do. Besides, she had something she wanted to keep to herself.

Saito and Eshuo looked at Qingyan in surprise. The little girl didn't even know what she was going to encounter, yet she agreed so readily.

"Father, do you still remember this pouch?" When Qingyan was unconscious, Master Yuanyi gave her a pouch. When she opened it, she found it was an unexplored Qiankun bag.

Everyone present nodded in agreement; it was given by Master Yuanyi.

With a smile, Qingyan dismissed all the servants present and, in front of Mou Si and Fei Yanggu and his son, put away all the porcelain in the living room.

Immediately, the four men, young and old, were all stunned.

"Put them away!" Qingyan's crisp voice made the items return to their places and also brought Yin and the others back to their senses.

"Father, is this why Master Yuanyi said only my sister can use this purse?" E'shuo asked Fei Yanggu quickly after regaining his composure.

A storm raged in Yin's heart. In his previous life, his wife had not received this favor. Many things had changed in this life.

"Does Father Emperor know?" Yin's first thought was for Qingyan's safety; he understood the principle that possessing a treasure can be a crime.

Fei Yanggu nodded. Before Master Yuanyi passed away, he mentioned this matter to Emperor Kangxi. This purse was just an ordinary object once it left Qingyan, and only Qingyan could use it.

When Emperor Kangxi learned of this, he ordered him to arrange for secret guards to closely protect Qingyan. This was also one of the reasons why he betrothed Qingyan to Yinzhi.

The little girl looked suspiciously at the four nervous people. This was only a small space of two square meters, but she had connected this purse with the space so that she could carry more things when she went out.

Yesterday, she was still worried about their safety, and today, she received the good news that she would be joining the expedition.

"Little darling, this thing is only shown to us. Don't do this to outsiders, especially don't take things out of thin air!" The fourth person began to nag and instruct Qingyan.

She could sense the worry and anxiety in Yin's words. She didn't know what the historical Yongzheng Emperor was like, but the iceberg in front of her had completely melted away.
