Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

This trip was of great importance, as the stability of the border and the future of the country were at stake. Galdan of the Junggar tribe was like a poisonous wolf. Although severely beaten by Emperor Kangxi himself, he was still not completely eradicated. He was still secretly watching the territory of the Qing Dynasty, ready to attack again at any time.

Emperor Kangxi sat in the imperial tent with a frown on his face, thinking about how to eliminate the trouble once and for all.

"Your Majesty, Mulan's trip this time concerns the safety of the country, and we must not be careless." A minister said worriedly.

Emperor Kangxi nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "I know. This time we should not only discuss how to guard against Galdan, but also warn those princes who have ulterior motives and let them know who is the real master of this land."

"Li Dequan" "The slave is here"

"Go and call all the princes, I have something important to discuss with you." After receiving the order, Li Dequan hurried to notify the Mongolian princes.

He knew that suppressing the rebellion by force alone was not a long-term solution. If he wanted to truly stabilize the border, he needed to reach a consensus with the princes of various tribes and jointly resist Galdan's ambitions.

"Your Majesty, all the princes have arrived." Li Dequan reported softly.

Kangxi raised his head, a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Okay, let them in."

After a while, princes from various tribes came in one after another. Some of them rode on horses, while others walked. But they all looked solemn.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."

"Everyone, stand up!" Kangxi glanced around and spoke slowly: "This time I summoned all the princes because of the Junggar incident. Although Galdan has escaped, I still have doubts in my heart. I need your help to protect this beautiful land together."

A prince from Khorchin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Galdan is ambitious and will become a great threat if he is not eliminated. I am willing to serve Your Majesty and help him eliminate this villain."

Kangxi nodded and turned his gaze to another prince: "Prince Ordos, what do you think?"

Prince Ordos pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to obey your orders. However, Galdan is very cunning, so we need to be extra careful."

Kangxi nodded and turned to the crowd: "You are all right. I have something to ask of you. If you find any trace of Galdan in your territory, you must report it immediately. There must be no mistake."

The Tumed prince who was sitting nearby stood up and said, "Your Majesty is right. We will obey your orders and report any trace of Galdan as soon as possible."

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Not only that, I also hope that all the princes can strengthen patrols, increase vigilance, and ensure peace on the border. At the same time, if you find any signs of unrest, you must report it immediately."

All the princes responded in unison and vowed to help Kangxi and get rid of Galdan.

As the discussion progressed, Kangxi warned the princes to remain loyal, not to have second thoughts, and not to associate with Galdan. Although his words were gentle, his majesty was unquestionable.

After the meeting, Kangxi stood outside the tent, looking at the grassland in the distance. The autumn wind blew on his face, and his heart was full of worries. But he knew that as long as the princes of various tribes worked together, Galdan's ambition would eventually come to nothing.

On the vast grasslands of Mongolia, as the important topic came to an end, Emperor Kangxi decided to set off to return to the capital. In order to express his respect for the distinguished guests who came from afar, the Mongolian princes specially arranged a grand departure banquet. This time, not only the princes, but also the wives of the emperor were invited to attend the banquet to share this moment.

In Yi Ya's room, Bai Zhu was busy dressing up Yi Ya. He held various gorgeous hairpins and skirts in his hands, trying to pick out the most suitable outfit for Yi Ya. However, Yi Ya seemed not satisfied with any of them. She shook her head gently and refused in a gentle voice.

"Although these clothes are beautiful, I always feel that they lack some agility." Yi Ya gently stroked the blue dress, with a satisfied look in her eyes, "This blue dress is fresh and elegant, just like the wind on the grassland."

"Fujin, you really have good taste." Bai Shu praised, "This azure blue dress not only makes your skin look fair, but also highlights your temperament."

Yi Ya smiled slightly and said, "You are so sweet. But I am still struggling with what jewelry to wear."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Su Peisheng walked in with an exquisite box in his hand. He bowed to Yi Ya and presented the box respectfully.

"Fujin, this is a gift that your master specially asked me to deliver." Su Peisheng said as he opened the box.

Yi Ya saw a set of hibiscus-style jewelry inside, which was crystal clear and matched the sky-blue long dress she was wearing today. She picked up the jewelry with surprise and said repeatedly: "This is so beautiful, it just solves my problem. Say thank you to the master for me."

Su Peisheng nodded and agreed, saying, "Don't worry, Fu Jin, I will definitely pass on your message. I know you like this set of jewelry, and I will definitely be very happy."

After Yi Ya finished dressing up, she went to the banquet with the third wife, Dong E.

At the banquet, the music was melodious, the dancing was graceful, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful. Yi Ya shuttled among the crowd, her smile was bright and decent, and won the praise of everyone present.

"Fourth Lady, you look so beautiful today." A lady walked up to Yi Ya and exclaimed, "This azure dress and this set of hibiscus jewelry are tailor-made for you."

Yi Ya smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. You look very beautiful tonight too."

When the two were chatting happily, Yinzhen came over. He smiled and nodded to the other concubines, then took Yiya away.

"Fujin, you look beautiful today." Yinzhen whispered in Yiya's ear.

Yi Ya looked up at him, her eyes full of tenderness and happiness: "Thank you, Master. I like this set of jewelry very much."

Yinzhen smiled slightly and held Yiya's hand tightly.

The banquet was brightly lit, with clinking glasses and a lively atmosphere. Emperor Kangxi sat at the main seat, with Mongolian princes and Qing officials on his left and right. They toasted each other and talked and laughed. Everyone present had their own goals and expectations, and this banquet was destined to become the stage where their destinies intersected.

Suddenly, Prince Wuerjingalap stood up, bowed to Emperor Kangxi, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask."

Kangxi put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled: "What is the matter, Your Majesty? Just tell me."

Prince Wuerjin Galapu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I have a little daughter who has not yet been betrothed. I would like to ask the emperor to grant marriage for our children."

After hearing this, Kangxi's eyes flashed with interest. He stroked his beard and asked, "Oh? How old is the little princess?"

"Your Majesty, my daughter is ten years old." Prince Wuerjin Galapu answered respectfully.

Kangxi nodded and asked, "Does anyone have a choice for the little princess?"

Prince Wuerjin Galapu shook his head and said, "No one has been chosen yet, but I believe that the marriage granted by the emperor must be the best."

Kangxi fell into deep thought after hearing this. Among his many sons, there were not many who were of the same age as the daughter of Prince Wuerjingalap. He glanced at the princes present and finally his eyes fell on the tenth prince Yinzhen. This child was smart, but because his mother was of too high a birth, Kangxi had been hesitant in choosing a wife for him.

Now, the problem seemed to be solved. Kangxi smiled and said to Prince Wuerjin Galapu: "Your Majesty, what do you think of my tenth prince?"

Prince Wuerjin Galapu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said quickly: "The emperor's child is naturally excellent, and I am very grateful."

Kangxi laughed loudly and patted Prince Wuerjin Galapu on the shoulder: "Okay, then it's settled. The Tenth Prince and your daughter will be married."

With Kangxi's words, the whole banquet suddenly became lively, and Prince Wuerjin Galapu was so excited that he almost knelt down.
