Since he ascended the throne, Yinzhen's suspicion has recurred and his eyes have become inexplicable, as if the day of foreign relatives' monopoly of power is just around the corner.

He speculated that Yixiu was trying her best to show respect now, but after Honghui got married, who could guarantee that Yixiu would still be as respectful as she is now?

In other words, even if Bian Yixiu has no other ideas, can the Ulanara family behind her always have none?

"You take a rest. I'm leaving first." Yinzhen responded and left Jingren Palace.

"This is the third daughter of the Ulanara family. I am just thinking that it is really enviable that these sisters can live together in the palace." Qi Yuebin paused and said, "Of course, this is all due to the grace of the emperor and the credit of Lord Xinghui."

Yinzhen didn't know why, but his heart was shocked, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "You also know about Xinghui?"

"How would I know anything? I just occasionally heard people in the harem talking about how Master Xinghui is good at fighting and has the emperor's trust."

"Forget it. People in the harem always believe everything they hear. You don't have to take it seriously! In a few days, the Tibetan chieftain Balerton will be here soon! The queen has been busy these days, and you are an old man who has left the palace. I want to let you entertain Balerton's women. What do you think?"

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

Qi Yuebin immediately agreed to do this happily, and even said a few words modestly about his lack of experience.

It was a very lively day when the Tibetan chieftain Balton came with his daughter Princess Kukuan.

Balton and Kukuan were each sitting in two magnificent sedan chairs, carried into the palace by sixteen Tibetan strongmen, playing music and drums. In front of Jiaozi, there was a guard of honor and a drum band. The most unusual thing was that there was a man wearing a ghost mask as a pioneer, dancing three steps forward and two steps back, as if he was playing a fool.

Yinzhen led all the ministers and princes, and they all stood in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to welcome Balton.

Yinzhen smiled happily. This was the first leader to come to pay homage in person since he ascended the throne. Naturally, it was a great recognition of him as the new emperor.

He had already inquired about it before. It was a Tibetan wedding etiquette to have a person dancing the fool's dance as the forerunner. Balton brought Princess Kukuan with him this time, so naturally he wanted to find a marriage for his daughter in this capital city.

Barton's intention to make friends is self-evident.

The dancers quickly led two large groups of people into the palace gate, danced in front of Yinzhen and everyone else, spun, jumped, prostrated themselves on the ground, performed kneeling rituals, and then quickly retreated to one side.

Two large sedan chairs were carried in and placed on the ground. Balerton and Kukuan were dressed in gorgeous clothes. As soon as they got out of the sedan chairs, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, leading all the Tibetan teams to kneel down and shout in unison: "Balerton and Princess Kukuan come to see Emperor Yongzheng. Long live the emperor!"

Yinzhen laughed and raised his hand to ask people to stand up.

----------------------

Behind a stone pillar in the distance, sixteen-year-old Nian Shilan was peeping with Xuanyan and Yongjia. Xuanyan was scared and tried desperately to pull Nian Shilan's clothes: "Okay, Sister Shilan, you've seen enough of Brother Honghui, let's go quickly! Today is the big occasion for the Emperor to receive distinguished guests!"

Nian Shilan didn't even turn her head, but waved her hand back to signal Xuanyan not to be anxious, and continued to move forward excitedly.

"It's so beautiful. Look at the person wearing the mask. His dance is so strange. The clothes that Princess Kukuan wears are so beautiful. I have never seen a girl dressed like this in the capital!"

"Well... Honghui is not bad today, he is well dressed and looks like a proper prince..."

Nian Shilan's body moved closer and closer, and she was extremely excited.

Yongjia was still young, only six years old, and did not understand the situation, but she had only seen such a lively scene when her father ascended the throne, and she was watching with great interest.

"The princess is a beautiful sister!"

Nian Shilan still stretched her head forward and said, "Honghui is so mean. Look, the Tibetan chieftain's daughter is right next to us, but he doesn't take us to play."

Nian Shilan was too embarrassed to complain about Yinzhen directly, so she blamed everything on Honghui.

"The princess's family background is obviously not as good as ours, but she was able to travel thousands of miles from Tibet to the capital and even meet the emperor! Why can't we stand outside openly?!"

Xuanyan tried her best to pull Nian Shilan, but in her heart she was thinking about what her mother said, that the Queen and her Fourteenth Uncle had left the capital together in order to look for her father, who was still a prince.

Perhaps women like them are not completely without opportunities, but they need to be braver and more resourceful to fight for a place in the world, just like the Empress, who rose from a concubine's daughter in the Ulanara family to become the Empress step by step.

"Sister Shilan is getting closer and closer to the front. Let's go. If we stay here any longer, the emperor will see us as soon as he comes to his senses..."

Although Xuanyan is a princess, and her status should be much more noble than Nian Shilan, but perhaps because of Lu Yingfeng's influence, she is more sensible than Nian Shilan when faced with such a big event.

"Let me take another look, just one more look..." Nian Shilan refused to listen and kept stretching her neck to look.

As he spoke, Balerton had already finished unloading Yinzhen's luggage and was saying some flattering words: "I have heard that the capital is prosperous for a long time, but I finally saw it with my own eyes today. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is worthy of being the holy ruler of the world!"

"Hahahahahahaha, I think this is first-rate from top to bottom!"

"I am very pleased that the chieftain has come all the way here. Please come in quickly. I have already ordered people to prepare a state banquet for you to enjoy!"

Balton pulled Princess Kukuan forward and said, "This is our Tibetan princess. Please allow her to feast with us."

"Okay." Yinzhen glanced at Kukuan, then saw that he had no unmarried daughters here. He thought that Tibetans lived in a remote area and they didn't want them to be so particular about etiquette and avoid suspicion. But as long as the Tibetan chieftain was obedient, he was too lazy to teach him on such trivial matters.

"Someone, come here, set up a seat for the eldest princess after my brother!" Yinzhen ordered Su Peisheng to arrange it, and prepared to pull Yixiu to sit down.

"The emperor has all sons?" Balton looked at Honghui and the other little princes, his eyes widened in surprise.

"I also have daughters, but they are very obedient and won't come out to see people easily."

Yinzhen said this with some pride. Yixiu beside him looked disdainful in her heart, but she still kept a smile on her face and tried to change the subject: "The eldest princess looks very lively. I wonder how old she is now? Does she like reading or martial arts?"
