Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 32 Campfire Dinner ([-])

In the hot weather, the three-day rush on the road made everyone a little ugly. When they first arrived at the Horqin Grassland, Kangxi and the princes had to clean up and tidy up before summoning the Mongolian leaders.

Yinzhen was in the imperial tent, sitting stiffly on a chair, while she sat comfortably in the bathtub, relaxing her body.

The road of Qiumi in the Qing Dynasty was not easy to walk, even if the emperor went on tour, the road was paved with loess.The carriage was still jolted by the bumps on the loess road, and his face was even more ugly.

She slept continuously in the carriage, leaning on his chest, listening to the footsteps of patrolling people outside, and couldn't get a good rest every day. She was afraid that the guards would rush there at any time.

On the way, the safety of their camp was affected. Some small tribe leaders in Mongolia who had surrendered to Galdan sent people to prepare to harm Kangxi.

Shu Yun didn't intervene, but she was able to extract some news from the whispered discussions of the guards. The Mongolian tribes were not in harmony. In private, there were constant internal struggles among the Mongolian tribes, and even Prince Horqin was almost unable to suppress it.

Kangxi came to Qiumi ahead of time, which can be regarded as a relief for Horqin.He didn't want Mongolia to be in chaos.

After Shu took a bath, Shu Yun wore a goose-yellow long skirt with arrow sleeves, and a navy blue short jacket with three-quarter sleeves and a stand-up collar. Leaning lazily on the soft bed.

Su Lan stood on the limp side, wiping the water from Shu Yun's hair with a towel.

In the evening, Shu Yun could only look down at the window through a layer of white screens. This was specially sent by Jiangnan to be used in the royal tent. It was impossible to see the inner bedroom from the window from the outside.

"Master, there will be a banquet tonight. Before leaving, the master told you to have some dinner before you go." Su Lan looked at the door and directly lowered her voice to Shu Yun.

Shu Yun was taken aback, is there going to be a banquet tonight?
The leaders of the Mongolian tribes did not let Kangxi and others take a break, and directly invited a dinner to entertain them.

Kangxi and the others had just settled down, and Shu Yun found that one or two noble Mongolian girls would pass by the camp from time to time. They all wore bright red Mongolian robes and wore their most precious heads on their heads, ready to give Kangxi and Make a good impression on the princes.

"Su Lan, are those girls coming for the prince?" Shu Yun muttered.

Before leaving Beijing, Di Fujin had confessed that he must not let the master bring back the Mongolian women.

Thinking of Fujin's words, Shu Yun murmured in his heart, she couldn't stop it at night, even if a female relative was interested, it was Kangxi who personally found it for Yinzhen.

"Master, master asked you to change your clothes, hurry up and go to the imperial tent." Su Zhu came in from the outside, holding a plate of snacks in her hand, and hurriedly told the news from Su Peisheng.

Shu Yun was sitting on the kang table, eating pea yellow, which is Suzhu's best snack, and when Shu Yun had no time to eat, this pea yellow was the best shocking meal.

She used a few pieces of pea yellow, turned to the window sill on the right, glanced at her clothes through the bronze mirror, helped the golden hairpin on her head, turned around and told Su Lan not to change her clothes.

"Master, what can I do with this suit?" Su Lan said anxiously holding a delicate pink-blue palace dress.

Today, the female relatives will wear exquisite palace attires to attend. When she went out to order Suzhu to prepare the pea yellow, she heard Dong Egege yelling for the servants to prepare the palace attire and the first face.

"I'm not their target, it's better to dress low-key." Yinzhen repeatedly confessed to avoid the prince. Shu Yun remembered that in many novels written by Qingchuan, the prince was written as licentious and immoral.

It's better for her to be quiet. If rumors spread, Kangxi will definitely deal with her directly.

"Okay, hurry up, I wasted some time." Shu Yun said quickly.

Su Lan put down the clothes in her hand, and helped Shu Yun to go outside.

As soon as he got out of the tent, Shu Yun noticed that many of the female family members were dressed very brightly, with thick hair coverings on their heads. Some of the prince's female family members looked at her with disdainful eyes.

Shu Yun didn't care, the eyes of outsiders didn't affect her much.

Approaching the imperial tent, Yinzhen stood outside the tent early, waiting for Shu Yun to come over.

He looked at Shu Yun approaching from a distance, and felt fortunate that Shu Yun knew how to be modest and didn't dress too extravagantly.

After looking at Shu Yun for a while, seeing that there was nothing deviant, he led her to the bonfire at the banquet.

In the middle of the camp, several piles of bonfires were lit, and the princes had brought their wives over early to win affection with the Mongolian leaders.

He didn't like to deal with these people, so he took her to the table to do a good job.

Shu Yun finally had a chance to look at the participants. The female family members are classified very strictly. From the clothes, it can be seen that whether it is the female family members who came with the car or the female family members brought by the Mongolian leaders, the first wife is basically dressed in bright red. The palace attire, the concubine's room is red and other ordinary clothes, no one would be so casual like her.

"Master, will I embarrass you?" Shu Yun said angrily.

She should listen to Su Lan and change into a more refined palace attire. If Yinzhen thinks that she is throwing away the fourth elder brother, she will not be worth the loss.

Yinzhen shook his head, Shu Yun was well dressed, the prince didn't pay too much attention to her, instead he stared at Dong Egege.

"When Qiumi came out, you wore plain clothes when you came out." Yinzhen affirmed Shu Yun's clothes.

Shu Yun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, Yinzhen had no objection, so she could feel at ease, before leaving Beijing, her hands and feet were restrained by the nagging of Fujin, for fear that something might be wrong.

Beside the bonfire, many Mongolian noble ladies gathered together, their eyes were floating, and they secretly looked at the princes.

Yinzhen had a serious face, and his whole body was icy. The noble ladies just glanced at it and turned their eyes away.

Shu Yun quietly looked at the scene in front of her, very happy, as long as no one could take a fancy to him, after returning to Beijing, she would be able to confess to Fujin at night.

Yinzhen doesn't like noble Mongolian women, so he doesn't want to be entangled by them.

On the other hand, the prince, he traveled among the various Mongolian leaders and talked happily with them.The chiefs would introduce their daughters to the prince, and when some noble girls saw the prince, they pretended to be weak.

Yinzhen sneered, the tempers of Mongolian noble ladies can be pretended for a while, but if they can't pretend for a lifetime, even if they enter the palace, they will end up bad.

Shu Yun pays attention to the performance of the princes, Yinyi is more familiar with the Mongolian generals, and his bold temperament is more suitable for the Mongolian generals.

Yinzhi played the temperament of a gentleman and attracted the attention of many noble Mongolian women who were ignorant of the world.

Many Mongolian leaders were annoyed that the family had spent too much energy and effort in training many noble daughters.

They have to consider the future of the family, and will not let the ladies choose as they please.
