Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 418 Departure
By the time Kangxi and Wanxian arrived at the Jiujing Sanshi Hall in a chariot sedan, the hall was already filled with concubines and royal family members, and there were also civil and military ministers outside the hall.

Upon seeing Kangxi's carriage, the civil and military ministers standing outside the palace quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in greeting.

Kangxi did not speak, but extended his hand to Wanxian who got off the chariot and came forward.

Wanxian immediately put her little hand into Kangxi's.

Kangxi took Wanxian's hand and walked toward the palace together.

Liang Jiugong quickly walked to the door of the palace, waved the whisk in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Long live the Lord is here. Concubine Shu is here."

Hearing this, in addition to the empress dowager who was dressed in court uniform, all the concubines, elder brothers, etc. in the palace quickly knelt on the ground to pay their respects and salutes.

After Kangxi pulled Wanxian into the Nine Classics and Three Matters Hall, he told everyone: "Everyone, get up." As Kangxi said, he pulled Wanxian and walked to the side of the Empress Dowager.

Wanxian also quickly greeted the Empress Dowager in Mongolian: "I am here to greet the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager said to Wanxian with a kind face: "Concubine Shu, please get up. Come and come to the Ai family." The Empress Dowager waved to Wanxian as she spoke.

Wanxian quickly came to the side of the Queen Mother and supported the Queen Mother.

Upon seeing this, Kangxi also clasped his fists at the Empress Dowager and said, "It's only my son's fault that I couldn't go to Ningchun Hall to welcome the Emperor's mother in person."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said nonchalantly: "The emperor also has many things to do, so it doesn't matter."

The people kneeling on the ground quickly stood up and looked at Kangxi, the Empress Dowager and Wanxian who were looking up.

Kangxi looked around, waved to Galudai who was standing behind the prince and princess, and said, "Galudai, what are you still doing standing there? Why don't you come forward and help your mother Uku?"

"Yes." Galudai glanced at the Crown Princess first. After seeing the Crown Princess nodding, Galudai quickly agreed and walked to the other side of the Queen Mother.

When Wanxian saw Galudai opposite, she carefully approached the Empress Dowager's ear and whispered a few words.

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly said to Galudai: "Your Majesty Sumama has something to say to you. Why don't you go to your Majesty Sumama's side and listen to what she has to say?"

Galudai accepted the order and quickly walked to Wanxian's side.

Wanxian quickly pulled Galudai and whispered a few words to Galudai in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Galudai blushed shyly.

Everyone had been paying attention to the person above them, and when they saw Wanxian and Galudai whispering, they couldn't help but feel curious.

Kangxi looked at the concubines and heirs around him and ordered: "Yinsu, Yinyou, and Yinqi, you three come forward."

The eighth elder brother Yinzhu, the seventh elder brother Yinyou, and the twelfth elder brother Yinyu hurriedly came forward and knelt on the ground, saying in unison: "My son is here, please give me the emperor's instructions."

"During the days when I am out to inspect Mulan Paddock, Yinhu will be in charge of all matters in the capital, and Yinyou and Yinyu will be the assistants." Kangxi ordered his three sons who were kneeling down.

"Please rest assured, Emperor Ama, your ministers and others will act with caution." The three of them said in unison.

Kangxi said with satisfaction: "Well, you guys get up." The three of them quickly stood up and retreated to one side.

Kangxi then ordered Concubine Tong Jia, who was standing in the first place on the left, "Concubine Lao will take care of all the matters in Changchun Garden."

"Please rest assured, Lord Long Live. This is originally the duty of a slave." Concubine Tong Jia, wearing imperial concubine's imperial attire, said politely to Kangxi.

Kangxi was very satisfied with Concubine Tong Jia's answer and said: "As for the trivial matters in the palace, you often send people to check on them. Although the concubines are temporarily in charge of the harem, you still have to make the final decision on major matters."

"Hey, I understand. I will send people back to the palace from time to time." Imperial Concubine Tong Jia said after receiving the order.

Kangxi looked at Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, Concubine Liang, Concubine He, etc., who were subordinate to Concubine Tong Jia, but did not speak. "Liang Jiugong." Kangxi ordered casually.

Liang Jiugong quickly accepted the order and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "I'm here, my slave. Long live your orders."

"You go outside and arrange the chariot." Kangxi ordered.

"Come on, I'll go down and make arrangements right now." Liang Jiugong said and quickly exited the hall to make arrangements for everything.

Kangxi then looked at the group of heirs on the right, and saw Hong Xi, who was looking bad behind the prince, and frowned: "I heard that Hong Xi was in bad health. This trip is so tiring, Hong Xi, you are going too?" "

"I'd like to report to Huang Mafa that my grandson's health is not serious." Seeing that Huang Mafa, who had previously been cold-eyed towards him, was paying attention to him again, Hongxi quickly reported back with cupped fists.When the princess saw this, she felt a little uncomfortable again.

Kangxi frowned and said, "If you can't bear it, don't go. If your condition gets worse on the way, that would be bad."

"Huang Ama, you forgot. Hongxi's wedding is scheduled for the beginning of next year. This time Hongxi can also take this opportunity to meet his direct descendant Fujin." The prince quickly explained to Kangxi.Originally, the prince did not want to take Hongxi there, but Hongxi used his marriage, so the prince had no way to stop Hongxi.

"Hmph, don't let the time come when not only do you fail to save the face of the royal family, but you also lose face in front of the princes of Mongolia." Kangxi snorted coldly and then accused him mercilessly.

Hongxi's originally excited little thoughts were knocked down by Kangxi's ruthless words, and her face became increasingly pale.

The prince didn't know what to say.

Kangxi looked at everyone and scolded sternly: "You all remember this. This trip to Mulan Paddock is to show the majesty of the Qing Dynasty and the bravery of the children of the Eight Banners in Mulan Paddock. As children of the royal family, you should move forward bravely. , lead by example. If you princes in Mongolia have lost face to the royal family, then forget about me being ruthless. If you are to blame, blame yourselves for not living up to expectations."

"Hey, I will obey the grace of Lord Long Live." Everyone quickly promised in unison.

Liang Jiugong also walked in cautiously from outside the palace and said: "Long live the Lord, the chariot outside is ready. I ask the Lord to drive."

"Okay. Concubine Shu, Galudai, you two just stay with the empress dowager and fulfill your filial piety. Everyone else should get on their own chariots." Kangxi ordered casually.

Wanxian and Galudai quickly accepted the order, supporting the empress dowager one by one.

The empress dowager also spoke in Mongolian and said: "Prince concubine, please get on the Ai family's chariot. Let's have some fun together."

The Crown Princess also quickly accepted the order and said: "Come on, granddaughter-in-law, accept the order."

Kangxi said nothing and just walked outside.

The Empress Dowager, Wanxian and Galudai followed Kangxi.

Others followed according to their positions.

Outside the Jiujing Sanshi Hall, there were already flags and a huge formation.The imperial guards around him all carried sabers and looked majestic.

Kangxi stood on Danbi, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Let's go." With that, Kangxi strode down the steps of Danbi and went straight to the luan driven by his six horses.

Wanxian and Galudai also helped the empress dowager get on the empress Luan's ceremonial carriage.The Crown Princess also followed the three of them and got on the Empress Dowager's ceremonial carriage.

Everyone also quickly got into their respective chariots.

In order of rank, they are Kangxi's Luan Jia, the Empress Dowager's ceremonial chariot, the prince's ceremonial guard, the crown prince's ceremonial guard, followed by Yi Fei, Wan Xian, Bu Bin and Xuan Bin's ceremonial guard.Behind are all the elder brothers and Fujin's ceremonial guards.

After everyone got on their own chariots, Liang Jiugong followed Kangxi's instructions and gave instructions to the little eunuch following him.

The little eunuch quickly ran to the leading general and gave instructions.

So the whole team officially started to set off.

In front of Kangxi's Luan Jia, the leader held six Yuzhan, six Wuzhan, six each Ligua, Wogua, Xing, and Yue, ten people held the five-color golden dragon flag, ten people held the five-color dragon flag, and the single dragon Six people wear red ball fans, six people wear double dragon yellow ball fans, and ten people wear colorful flower umbrellas.Next, ten men with leopard tail spears, ten men with bows and arrows, and ten men with swordsmen lined up in two rows.Kowloon crank Huang Huagai alone.The most important thing is the pomp of the Nine-Five-year-old.

The grand palace gate of Changchun Garden opened, except for the Emperor Luanjia, the Empress Dowager's ceremonial driver, the Crown Prince's ceremonial guard, and the Crown Princess' ceremonial guard, they drove out through the main gate.Other people and horses exited through the side doors on both sides.

When Kangxi's chariot drove out of the palace gate, the soldiers and horses waiting in front of Changchun Garden Palace quickly followed the chariot that needed to be accompanied according to the arrangement.

On both sides of Kangxi's cavalry, there were also ten ministers with swords on horseback, two ministers with swords in the rear guard, ten guards with leopard tails, ten with swords, and ten with bows and arrows.

Finally, all kinds of people and horses were neatly marching on the road.

……

When the Crown Princess got into the Empress Dowager's carriage, she heard Wanxian tell her the reason.The princess was so happy that she couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name.

The Empress Dowager quickly ordered to Wanxian and Galudai: "Quickly, open the curtains. The Ai family wants to take a closer look at Galudai's choice of husband."

When Galudai heard this, he quickly lowered his head shyly.

Wanxian quickly smoothed things over and said: "I'm afraid he hasn't come yet. Those people should still be waiting in front of the palace gate."
