The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 208 Mulan Qiuyi
In the autumn of the 18th year of Qianlong, there were frequent turmoil in the Chahar tribe of Mongolia, and sometimes there were looting incidents, which made several major tribes in Mongolia panic.Zai Sang of the tribe begged the emperor to come to him, to deter those restless people.

Therefore, the emperor planned to hold the Mulan Autumn Festival in the eighth month of the lunar calendar. Firstly, it was to test the riding and shooting skills of the soldiers of the Eight Banners, and secondly, it was also to strengthen the connection with Mongolia and stabilize the border.

In the early Qing Dynasty, in order to win over the Mongolian tribes, Manchu-Mongolian marriages were very common.Empress Xiaozhuangwen, who once assisted the two young emperors and laid the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, was born in the Horqin tribe of Mongolia.However, as the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the relationship with Mongolia gradually became estranged. In the two generations of Yongzheng and Qianlong, the Manchu-Mongolian marriage was no longer so important, and the beautiful girls of the Mongolian Army Banner were rarely selected into the palace.

Looking at the emperor's current harem, there is no one from the Mongolian Borzigit family, and the most beautiful girls from the Han army banner account for the majority.

This autumn, all the royal princes, county kings, Baylor, and Beizi will accompany them, and they can also bring their family members to accompany them.The emperor specially invited the queen mother to go with her. Yingyun naturally didn't want to be left behind in such a good place for sightseeing, so she asked the queen mother to take her with her.

Therefore, a few days after returning to the palace, Yingyun packed her bags and followed the emperor to the Mulan paddock.

Sitting in the stable carriage, the emperor looked at her excited face, and secretly sighed: "The empress is the mother of two children, so why is she so refusing to take it easy. Going to the Mulan paddock now will cost at least ten minutes." It's been half a month, the empress is really willing to let Yongzheng and Yunyin stay in the palace?"

But Yingyun said: "Why are you reluctant? Could it be that the concubines will be tied up by their children for the rest of their lives, and they will not be able to go anywhere? It will be a boring life!"

As a modern woman, the value of life has long ceased to lie in having children.Children have their own fates in life, and Yingyun is very open about this point, so it seems that there is nothing that can hold her back.

Just like at this moment, Yingyun is sitting in the car, and when she opens the curtain, she can see the vast grassland, as if the sky and the earth are connected together. What about?

In the distance, there are yurts set up by herdsmen. Cattle and sheep are grazing leisurely. When they heard the bells of the imperial chariot, they looked up one after another. The grassland has not been so lively for a long time.

"Your Majesty," Yingyun said expectantly, "When we get to the Mulan paddock, can my concubines learn how to ride horses and hunt?"

The emperor focused his eyes and asked suspiciously: "Didn't the queen know how to ride a horse before?"

"Ah?" Yingyun almost forgot that Ulanara was born in the Manchu family. Unlike the Han people who do not go out of the door, Manchu women also ride and shoot from elementary school like men. They also gather to ride horses.However, in recent years, the Manchus have been gradually sinicized, and women's riding and shooting have become less and less.

"Uh..." Yingyun said with sloppy eyes, "What I mean is that I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, I'm afraid I've forgotten it long ago..."

In order to dispel the emperor's doubts, Yingyun deliberately shifted her gaze, leaned against the window, pointed at the low-flying birds in the sky, and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you see there?"

"Costin."

Yingyun pulled him to look around, but managed to distract him, chatting and laughing all the way, and arrived at the Mulan paddock not long after.
