It is almost the end of the year, and the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia, as subjects, should come to Beijing to pay tribute. However, the Khan was in poor health and it was not suitable for him to travel long distances, so he sent Prince Mu, who has now set off and is heading to the capital.

This time when Almu went to Beijing, he not only brought the gifts prepared by his mother, but also brought Princess Lingwei with him.

A few days ago, Almu heard his father talking about going to the capital. Lingwei has been clamoring to go back to the capital for several times. She has been in the grassland for more than a year, and she doesn't know how her sister Deyin and fourth brother, whom she misses so much, are doing. She also doesn't know if there will be a place reserved for her if she returns to the capital.

Almu was afraid that she could not endure the hardships of the journey, so he had the carriage seat replaced with comfortable woolen cushions in advance, and he even wanted to do the work of dressing her himself.

Under his careful care, Lingwei arrived in Beijing safely. The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace she had been away from for a long time, which made Lingwei a little dazed. She didn't expect that she could come back as a princess married into a foreign country.

Almu looked at Lingwei who was in a trance in front of him and waved his hand in front of her eyes: "Why are you in a daze? Are you crazy because of happiness?"

He was just teasing, Ling Wei couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, Almu was slightly startled and gently wiped them away for her with his sleeve: "Be happy to be home, your emperor father is still waiting for you, it won't look good if your face is bruised from crying." Almu's tone was like coaxing a child.

Ling Wei had rarely been to the former court when she was in the palace, except for the one time she went to Taiji Hall when she was conferred the title. She did not have a deep memory of her father, but the palace people had told her since she was a child that her father was a noble and majestic emperor.

This time, she was a little nervous and excited when she went to Taiji Hall with Almu, so much so that she even forgot to say what she had memorized repeatedly on the way. Fortunately, Almu understood what she meant and said it for her. This was the longest time she had spent with the emperor in her memory. Her mother was not favored, so she was not favored either. Today, she stayed for half an hour, and she didn't know if it was because of Almu or Princess Lan.

Yinzhen was so busy dealing with the matters assigned to him by his father these days that he forgot to tell Deyin about Lingwei's trip to Beijing. Lingwei went to pay a visit to Concubine De, and while chatting with her, she learned that Deyin had married her fourth brother and was now a concubine.

Almu accompanied Lingwei to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. The servant knew Princess Lingwei and brought her in. When Luwu saw Lingwei, she thought she was dazzled and hurried to invite Deyin out.

"elder sister.".

Deyin knew she was back when she heard the familiar voice and welcomed her in. As expected, Lingwei had become more graceful when they met again today. The cold and bitter grassland had raised her to be so beautiful, which showed that Almu had put a lot of effort into it.

Lingwei seemed to have endless things to say and kept talking to Deyin. Almu was good-tempered and waited patiently outside.

When Yinzhen was returning home, he passed by Qingyin Pavilion and saw Aermu standing outside. Then he remembered their trip to Beijing. Yinzhen had only met Aermu once, but the person Aermu pointed out at that time was like a thorn in Yinzhen's heart, so how could he not remember clearly.

Although Almu was born on the grassland, he was very elegant in his heart like his mother. He saluted Yinzhen with great courtesy. Yinzhen looked at the boy in front of him who was only 19 years old. He had heard the emperor mention the young master on the grassland. When he saw him today, he still admired him a little. He was already the king of the grassland when he was a minor.

"Prince Mu, why don't you go in?"

"Ling'er, please talk to the concubine for a while. I won't bother you." Almu knew that the rules in the Central Plains were not as casual as those in the grasslands. The concubines and other men in the prince's mansion were not allowed to meet casually. When he was in the grasslands, his mother had taught him these etiquettes. It is said that the royal family attaches great importance to etiquette, so he would not let anyone catch his shortcomings.

Yinzhen couldn't find fault with his answer. Sure enough, the Khan's son was well taught. Yinzhen also had a better impression of the young prince in front of him.

Yinzhen didn't let Luwu go in to pass the message. He leaned against the window and looked at the two people chatting enthusiastically. It has been a long time since he saw Deyin smile so much. Maybe it was because there was no one to accompany her to kill time in the mansion all day, and he couldn't spare the time to accompany her. It was rare for Lingwei to accompany her today, and he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere between the two.

Just as Yinzhen was about to turn around and leave, he heard Lingwei's voice: "Fourth brother, why didn't you come in after hiding behind the door and listening for so long?" Lingwei had noticed him a long time ago and thought he would come in after staying at the door for a while. What did he mean by suddenly turning around and leaving?

Yinzhen had no choice but to go in after hearing Lingwei's call. His sister had finally returned to the capital from the grassland, and this was a rare opportunity to see her.

Yinzhen felt a little strange when he looked at Lingwei in front of him. She had been gentle since she was a child and was much more sensible than other princesses in the palace. Now that she had tied her hair up, she looked more like a princess who could stand on her own. The little girl who used to follow him had also grown up a lot.

Lingwei still called him Fourth Brother. Since the marriage, Fourth Brother had not formally met Almu. Lingwei went out, brought Almu in and introduced him properly.

Yinzhen was relieved when he saw their natural movements. It seemed that his beloved sister, whom he had loved since childhood, had not suffered on the grassland. He patted Almu on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of her for me."

The people of the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia have been settled. Yinzhen left Lingwei and Almu in the mansion so that they could keep Deyin company. During the New Year period, he was too busy with official duties to stay in the mansion for long. Fortunately, Lingwei was with her these days.

At night, Yinzhen was a little jealous because Deyin looked at Almu a few more times. Deyin was a bit of a rogue, but it was just a normal eye contact, but the fourth master said it so excessively.

"Master, how can you be so unreasonable and argue with a child?" Deyin looked at Yinzhen who was slumped on her shoulder. There was a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. As expected, he started talking nonsense after drinking too much.

Although Yinzhen had drunk a little, he didn't talk nonsense: "Yinyin, are you annoyed by me?"

After being asked back by Yinzhen, she lost her confidence and touched Yinzhen's face: "Master, if I didn't know, I would think you drank vinegar tonight, it tastes sour." Deyin fanned the air, as if she was really filled with jealousy.

Yinzhen knew when to stop and didn't mention what happened just now. He was not so petty as to argue with a child.

Yinzhen was also tired today. He fell asleep after hugging Deyin for a while. Deyin squeezed the quilt for him. Looking at the Fourth Master beside him, Deyin observed carefully. Yinzhen's skin was very white, just like that of Concubine De. Deyin couldn't help but touch his high nose bridge, and her fingers finally fell on his lips. She looked at his lips and struggled for a while, but finally couldn't help but kiss him.

Yinzhen was actually awakened by the slight touch. He certainly knew what Deyin was doing. He resisted the desire in his heart and did not open his eyes to continue pretending to sleep. He knew that this girl was thin-skinned and would only dare to do such things when he was asleep. It would be bad if he scared her, so he had to continue to cooperate with her.

The next day, Yinzhen woke up early, and just as he was about to get up, Deyin also woke up.

Deyin looked at Yinzhen with a guilty look on his face, like a child who had done something wrong, her eyes dodging, especially when they fell on his lips. Yinzhen pretended nothing had happened and went about his own business.

When Yinzhen went out, he felt the warmth between his lips and remembered last night. He couldn't help but smile, and the corners of his lips outlined an attractive curve.

Lingwei came to see Deyin early in the morning. She went to the morning market in Beijing today and took Almu to stroll around. She bought crystal buns from the shop that Deyin often went to before and brought them to her to try. Deyin had not gone out to buy this stuff since she married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion. When she tasted this today, her thoughts were drawn back to the time when she took Lingwei to stroll around Beijing in the past.

Almu was quite used to it. After all, her mother often cooked Central Plains delicacies for them, saying that she didn't want them to forget their roots.

After the crown prince was abolished, Shen Jiayu rarely came to see her. After all, Ma Xiwei was in the Thirteenth Prince's mansion, so she had to avoid suspicion to some extent. Although the Thirteenth Prince had a close relationship with the Fourth Prince, everyone openly attributed the Thirteenth Prince to the crown prince's party. As soon as the crown prince fell, there were many voices against the Thirteenth Prince in the court. Kangxi privately looked for the Thirteenth Prince. Kangxi doted on this son and naturally did not want him to take any more detours. The crown prince's abolition had nothing to do with him. Kangxi could distinguish right from wrong and naturally would not vent his anger on him.

Today, Shen Jiaxu felt a little uncomfortable when she woke up early, so she took a carriage to find her. Deyin felt her pulse and fortunately it was nothing serious, but she was too worried about the Thirteenth Prince and hurt her fetus.

It was the first time that Lingwei met Shen Jiaxu. Shen had heard from Thirteen that the Fourth Master had been very caring towards the Tenth Princess. When she saw her today, she realized that the princess was indeed a lovable person.

Almu and his entourage entered the palace early this morning. Kangxi summoned the 49 Mongolian tribes to discuss important matters. On behalf of his father, Almu expressed his attitude to Kangxi that he would die on the frontier, resist foreign enemies, and never rebel.

Kangxi entrusted the reception of the envoy to the Thirteenth Prince, and he felt more at ease with the Thirteenth Prince's carefulness.
