Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine
Chapter 26: Starlight Rescue
On the banks of the Urhui River, yellow flags fluttered in the wind, and a group of young men were competing and chatting with their bare chests in front of the tent.
This was the vanguard troops led by Fei Yanggu. They had already approached the heartland of Junggar, while the army led by Kangxi was responsible for clearing out the fleeing remnants and taking over the people and money from the surrendered cities.
Now that they had captured three cities in Junggar and defeated tens of thousands of troops, even the most ignorant women in the suburbs of Beijing knew that Emperor Kangxi had led everyone to a great victory.
The men also had a rare chance to relax, especially since the emperor was away, they felt much more relaxed.
Once the men who were on the battlefield, surrounded by swords and sabers and stepping on corpses, relaxed, they could not help but gather together to have fun.
The fourth prince Yinzhen sat aside, wiping his sword while watching Fucha Li Rongbao walking around in circles, recruiting people to compete with him.
When his eyes met Yinzhen, Li Rongbao smiled and said, "Fourth Prince is a delicate and noble man. You have worked so hard on this journey. Why don't you go back to your tent to embroider instead of sitting with the rest of us?"
Yinzhen pretended not to hear, but Li Rongbao came closer and continued, "Why, Fourth Prince didn't answer? Is it because you can't even lift a needle to embroider, so you have to sit and eat?"
Along the way, Li Rongbao had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with Yinzhen.
Whenever they went into battle together with Yinzhen, Fei Yanggu would remind him not to be greedy for merit and not to steal Yinzhen's limelight, and also to pay attention to protecting the Fourth Prince and not to put his life in danger.
Fei Yanggu's advice was well-intentioned.
Apart from the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen is the biological son of Emperor Kangxi after all. Over the past year, he has gradually been valued by the emperor.
This expedition can be said to be Yinzhen's duty as a prince to protect the Qing Dynasty, but it is also the emperor giving the fourth prince an opportunity to make achievements.
If something happened to the Fourth Prince on the battlefield, he, as the chief general, would naturally be the target of the emperor's anger. Those who were on the same battlefield with Yinzhen would be the first to bear the brunt of the emperor's wrath, no matter what contributions they had made.
It is not difficult to figure out what's going on. Although Fucha Li Rongbao doesn't like Rouze, Rouze gives up her position as the legitimate wife and wants to be a princess to the Fourth Prince.
This caused Li Rongbao to be ridiculed by outsiders for a long time, and naturally he accumulated a lot of resentment towards Yinzhen. He deliberately avoided thinking about this relationship and would rather think that Yinzhen was abusing his privileges.
He was young and energetic, and relied on his good family background. Although he was only a fourth-rank official, he was too lazy to climb up the career ladder and only wanted to do everything he could to embarrass Yinzhen.
At this time, those sitting together were all young and energetic descendants of the Eight Banners.
Although the others were not as bold as Li Rongbao, they were not afraid of Yinzhen.
It was well known that Yinzhen was not good at martial arts, and he was completely vulnerable when he met the belligerent Li Rongbao.
For a moment, all kinds of watching, provocative, and inquiring eyes were focused on Yinzhen's face. The nakedness and boldness almost burned Yinzhen's face as red as the fire rack.
The situation was at a stalemate. If Yinzhen didn't say anything, he would be regarded as a coward by these people.
He gripped the sword tightly in his hand and was almost ready to stand up and fight.
"What are you making a fuss about? General Fei Yanggu is injured and is resting not far away. Are you deliberately disturbing his peace?"
A shout came from far away, and the person who came over was a young man still wearing armor.
This is Fei Yanggu’s son, Ulanala Xinghui.
He was wearing a black armor that was covered with scars from battles. It was obviously not left behind by just one or two battles.
Ulanara Xinghui followed Fei Yanggu to the battlefield when she was twelve years old. After five years of bloody battles, the immaturity in her eyes and brows had faded, but the corners of her mouth and her eyes seemed to hide a free and wild wind.
For young people, military achievements on the battlefield are more convincing than a prominent family background.
After all, everyone's family background is impressive, so who would be convinced by whom?
Therefore, Xinghui's dissatisfied rebuke is more convincing than the four words "Aisin-Gioro" on Yinzhen's head.
Everyone left in embarrassment, leaving only Xinghui and Yinzhen. One of them stood and the other sat. Xinghui walked towards Yinzhen, and before he could speak, Yinzhen took the lead to thank him: "Thank you very much."
"It doesn't matter. The Fourth Prince is my brother-in-law." Xinghui sat down with great confidence, patted the dirt on his knees and said, "My sister was determined to marry the Fourth Prince in the past, but unfortunately she was only a princess when she entered the mansion, and there was no banquet. It has always been a regret for Xinghui that I didn't get to drink in the wedding wine of my sister and the Fourth Prince."
This is a complaint about Yinzhen's harsh treatment of Rouze.
Yinzhen's face trembled, and his expression, which had just relaxed, froze again.
How could he almost forget that Xinghui was born to his good aunt, Duoluo Gege.
In other words, he was just Rouze's biological brother, not his concubine Yixiu's.
Over the years, he had heard about the situation in the Ulanara Mansion, especially after Rouze entered the mansion, he understood even more clearly that although Rouze and Yixiu were from the same family, they really had no relationship between them.
It was just that General Fei Yanggu didn't care about these things, so he was happy to pretend that he didn't know. But now Xinghui's words were clear, Yinzhen couldn't play dumb anymore, and replied:
"Your sister came to the mansion in a hurry. There were many things to do during the New Year holidays, so I haven't been able to visit her properly. After we return to Beijing, we will definitely take the time to accompany her properly. As her younger brother, you just need to rest assured."
Yinzhen patted Xinghui's knee and looked at him with a smile.
Both of them are smart people, so there is no need to say extra words. They are well aware of family interests, but they always have to wrap them up with emotions to appear closer.
"The Emperor issued an order a few days ago, asking me to return to the capital to supervise the grain and fodder supply. He said that we should take advantage of the cold weather in the north and not give Galdan a chance to catch his breath. Do you want to go back with me?"
Yinzhen extended the invitation, saying that returning to Beijing on business was a good opportunity for the two of them to be alone, and they could take the opportunity to get closer and win over each other.
He has seen over the years that Xinghui is the most promising man in the Ulanara clan, and is highly valued by Fei Yanggu. If he can be brought into his own camp in one fell swoop, it will surely increase his prestige in the court in the future.
Yinzhen continued to persuade Xinghui to return to Beijing with him: "I will ask your sister to prepare some good wine and food, and you can come to my house for a drink."
Turning his head to look at Yinzhen's expectant face, Xinghui also smiled: "Okay, let's go back together. I'll tell my father."
After the two of them made an agreement, they each headed towards their tents.
Now, news of a great victory has reached the capital, and those who can't wait have already recruited dancers and singers to their tents.
In the middle of the night, there were still sounds of singing, dancing and laughter coming out from time to time, and the scene inside was self-evident.
But in Yinzhen's tent, only Su Peisheng was waiting inside. When he saw Yinzhen coming back, he ran up to him in two steps: "Fourth Prince, the concubine in the mansion sent a letter, saying that she must ask you for your decision."
Su Peisheng bent over and handed over the letter. One corner of the letter had been creased by his grip, and he was obviously very anxious.
However, after reading the letter, Yinzhen just threw the letter into the brazier with a cold face: "Women in the backyard are just arguing over trivial matters. Su Peisheng, before you return to Beijing, go to the nearby market and buy some fresh and unique local things. Buy more."
Blinking his eyes, Su Peisheng looked at Yinzhen. He didn't expect that the Fourth Prince would now buy things to make people happy.
