Chapter 127 Southern Tour
Hari Zhula is gone, Huang Taiji is gone, my aunt is gone, Dorgon, Fulin...everyone I care about has gone.
But this journey has been extremely difficult, but the Empress Dowager felt that she had nothing to regret.
She stayed until the end and became the most honorable woman in the Qing Dynasty!Leave a name in history!
Looking at Mingxuan, the Empress Dowager hoped that she hadn't lost sight of her in the end.
Ming Xuan didn't understand what the Empress Dowager was thinking, she just felt that this road had been taken for a long time.
Along the way, she talked to herself a lot, about the anxiety and helplessness she felt when she first married in Shengjing...but the pain of struggling desperately...
"It's really not easy!" Ming Xuan helped the Empress Dowager to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and looked at her very seriously.
He said with emotion: "It is only a firm and persistent person like you who can survive and win, become a winner in life, and reach the peak. But if you are a concubine, to be honest, you may not live for three days."
That's it?
The Empress Dowager looked at the admiration in her eyes, it was incredible, this idiot, she said such heartfelt words for a long time, and she came to such a conclusion?
Feelings are listening to your own words as stories?
Isn't it just listening to the story!Ming Xuan really thought so, and she was glad that she lived in the relatively peaceful Kangxi period.
If she was really born in a turbulent time, she would definitely not have such a prosperous life now.
The empress dowager was silent, she didn't quite understand, how could someone be so unmotivated?Obviously, you can pick the stars and the moon as long as you stretch out your hand, but you just don't bother to stretch out your hand?
But after lying down later, she felt that it was because of Ming Xuan that she treated him differently.If it was a scheming woman, how could I want to promote her?
After Mingxuan saw off the Empress Dowager, she went back to Yongshou Palace to rest.
The tragic experience of the Empress Dowager told Mingxuan that she should cherish the good days before her!Life should learn to be content.
23 years was destined to be a busy year. As soon as spring began, Kangxi left. First, he took the empress dowager to the outside of the Great Wall. When he left, Mingxuan didn't follow because her body had not fully recovered.
Among the princes, Kangxi only brought along two princes, the eldest prince and the prince.
This is the first time that Mingxuan has been separated from Yinfeng for so long. In the past, even if Yinfeng didn't come here every day, but every day he sent someone to bring soup to him, he could hear the greetings he sent over.
One or two days was okay, but Ming Xuan thought about it on the third day.
Want it so so much!
"Niang Niang, I miss the elder brother of the prince." After school, Yin Zhen said sullenly.
Before Yinreng left, he sent Yinzhen to Yongshou Palace and let him live in his East Hall, so every day when he came back, Yinzhen would talk to Mingxuan.
"I thought about it too." Mingxuan sighed while resting her chin.
When Yinzhen saw the third brother teaching the fifth brother to read poetry today, he thought of the past, no matter how busy the prince's elder brother was, he would always find time to check his homework, and when he finally had a little time, he would care about himself.
Yinzhen sat in front of Mingxuan and asked, "How long will it take for us to write a letter?"
"One or two days?" The fast horse is naturally much faster than the large army.
After Mingxuan finished speaking, she cheered up and asked someone to call Liang Jiugong who Kangxi deliberately left in the palace, and asked if there was any channel to communicate with the prince?
"The servant sends letters to the emperor every day, why don't you send them to the empress?" Liang Jiugong laughed when he heard that it was not a big deal.
Mingxuan nodded excitedly and said, "Eunuch Liang, you are really kind!"
After finishing speaking, I asked Yinzhen to write a letter.
"Your Majesty, this letter is to be read by the emperor first, why don't you write a letter to the emperor as well?" Liang Jiugong suddenly reminded.
Mingxuan held the paper for a while... She had nothing to say to Kangxi!
"The emperor was concerned about the health of the empress before? If the empress wrote the letter in person, the emperor would be very happy." Liang Jiugong saw Mingxuan hesitant, and persuaded in a low voice.
Since the emperor had thoughts on his empress, Liang Jiugong hoped that Concubine Xiangui would seize this opportunity.
But Mingxuan didn't want to, really didn't want to, really didn't want to!Not at all!
So she asked someone to send a message to the princes and princesses in the palace who could write, and to write letters to the emperor.
One letter per person per day!
If you can't write letters, take them with your fingerprints every day.
Kangxi arrived at the evening of the fourth day, and the letter was delivered quickly.
Looking at the thick baggage, Kangxi thought that something happened in the palace, but it turned out that there were only two letters and one secret letter, one letter was extremely thick, and the other letter was so-so...
The thick ones are for yourself, and generally the thick ones belong to Yinfeng.
Kangxi called Yinfeng, and the two opened the letter together.
The thick envelope was opened with a lot of paper, and the first sheet was written by Yinzhi, who wrote what he had learned and done recently, and also talked about Yinqi's study progress.
The second letter is Yinzhen...
The sons reported their studies to him again and again, and Kangxi watched them seriously, thinking that the children were also studying hard when he left, so he was very happy in his heart, and even took a pen to annotate them one by one.
Even Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ten's handprints and footprints were carefully looked at for a while, and then they added the date with their own hands.
The letters from the daughters were more tender, asking him if he had eaten well on the way?Are you tired?Then I wrote their daily studies.
Kangxi's eyebrows stretched, and he couldn't help but look up, but he saw Yinfeng who was shaking his shoulders and trying to control his smile.
Stretch your neck and look over.
But I saw a chapter painting, on a big rock, sat a woman who was somewhat similar to Concubine Xian, and there was a little man with curly hair who looked like Xiaosi, there was a space between the two, and there was a letter: Exclusively for the prince!
Immediately, looking at his letter again, Kangxi felt that his mood was greatly reduced.
Is the one in your hand called a letter?Obviously it's an academic report, right?
Yinfeng didn't expect to receive letters from his aunt and Xiaosi not long after he left the capital, seeing the aunt's care and greetings, the drawing paper mixed with missing, and Xiaosi's big postings , I feel moved in my heart.
He was engrossed in watching it, and turned his head... Yinfeng was startled, a big head was right in front of his eyes!
"Bring it to me to see." Kangxi directly stretched out his hand and wanted to go over.
There is no harm if there is no comparison. After reading the prince's letter, Kangxi was not so happy when he looked at his huge number of 'letters'.
Until Xu Shen'er read Liang Jiugong's secret book and learned about the affairs in the palace in Beijing, Liang Jiugong wrote it specially. Because there are many empresses in the palace, it is not easy for virtuous concubines to stand alone, so only the prince and princess wrote the letter.
I hope that the emperor can occasionally think about the people in the palace when he relaxes on the road.
The last sentence was specially added by Liang Jiugong.
After reading it, Kangxi was really happy, and took the initiative to write a letter to Mingxuan, asking her to tell him about the situation in the palace.
After Mingxuan read Yinfeng's reply, she read Kangxi's letter, and couldn't help but feel emotional: people have left and still have a job?
Could it be that he still can't get rid of the life of a social animal in this life?
Although she was unwilling, Mingxuan still reported the things in the palace to Kangxi every day, but she never commented.
Kangxi would also write back to tell her what she had seen and heard on the way, and comment on what Mingxuan said by the way.
However, Ming Xuan was not interested because she had already watched it from the prince's point of view!
After writing too many letters, Ming Xuan started to be lazy. After all, it was very tiring to write so many words every day.
But only twice, he was discovered and even criticized by Kangxi!
He was careful not to send her the letter written by Yinfeng, saying that he wanted her to reflect!
When receiving the letter of criticism, Ming Xuan only read one line and wanted to throw it aside.After confirming that there was no letter from the prince, he gave Liang Jiugong a sad look.
Ming Xuan had written a lot of things like self-criticism.
But Kangxi received it for the first time.
Seeing a thick and apologetic letter, which complimented me greatly, and understood my mistakes so deeply, I immediately felt relieved, and mercifully sent the prince's letter back .
In this way, Mingxuan was forced to write a letter with Kangxi for more than four months, and she felt extremely exhausted.
At the beginning, she was able to find out about the affairs in the palace, but the emperor was not there, and the concubines in the palace didn't have much to do, so Ming Xuan could only find something to talk about every day.
"Next time, I'll go out with you!" Finally, when they came back, Ming Xuan saw Yinfeng, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Yinfeng lowered his head and smiled, and said softly: "I miss my aunt very much, and I will definitely not separate next time."
Ming Xuan nodded vigorously, no more, no more.If we separate again, she will be autistic!
It was already the end of May after returning from Mongolia, and preparations for the southern tour had already started.
Mingxuan took up a spot first, and then she was in the mood to watch the other women in the harem show all kinds of gallantry.
Before the southern tour, an incident that Mingxuan was quite excited about happened, Kangxi decided to open the customs to carry out ocean trade.
Ming Xuan didn't know much about Qing history, but she was very happy to hear about this move.
"I have read a lot of books, and I have a lot of things I want. I also want to know how the wool products outside are different from ours? How is the watch glass made?" Mingxuan asked Kangxi for the first time. .
Kangxi promised Mingxuan to help her solve her doubts.
Even Concubine Zhao was moved by the matter of accompanying her on the southern tour, let alone other things?
Although she was reluctant to part with Elder Brother Ten, Concubine Zhao still won a spot for herself.The same is true of Concubine Tong Gui, who persuaded Kangxi to send the sixth elder brother to Tong's house, and also won the opportunity for herself to tour the South.
On his first southern tour, Kangxi did not intend to have fun, so he only brought Concubine Mingxuan, Concubine Tong, and Concubine Zhao.And the Empress Dowager.
Also brought four princes and three princesses.I want them to see this great river and mountain.
Concubine Yi and Concubine Hulu have children to take care of, so the palace affairs are handed over to Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui.
However, when they set out again, Ming Xuan discovered that Concubine Tong Gui actually brought Wu Ya to agree.
Wu Ya promised that now she has completely lost her favor, and standing behind Concubine Tong with the appearance of a court lady, Ming Xuan admired her ability to bend and stretch.
The journey to the south was exactly as Ming Xuan thought, it was not comfortable, the carriage was bumpy, and the experience of taking the boat was not very good.
The good news is that you can taste food from different regions.Occasionally, you can travel with your car, to see the Yellow River dam, see Baotu Spring, and climb Mount Tai.
Kangxi's southern tour was to observe the people's sentiments and understand the real situation of officials in various places, so he occasionally made private visits in microservices.
Mingxuan felt that it was no wonder that there would be so many private interviews in later generations, because Kangxi liked this in the first place.
In the beginning, Kangxi didn't plan to bring Mingxuan with him every time, but after taking Concubine Tong and Concubine Zhao, he still felt that bringing Mingxuan would save trouble and not be tiring.
Mingxuan felt that if she stayed in the big army, she might be killed by other people's eyes, so she didn't refuse at all, and only came back after having fun with Kangxi and a few princes and princesses every time.
Tired all the way, when I finally arrived in Suzhou, I had a few days of rest.
