Everyone gathered in the palace and prepared to set off together.

This time, traveling with the emperor were the prince, the fourth elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the fifth elder brother Fujin, and the fifteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother.

The third elder brother did not go to supervise the country, but the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother assisted the third elder brother and stayed in Beijing.

Luo Jianing brought the children to the palace early in the morning and sent them to Yonghe Palace.

Originally, she wanted to hand Honghui over to Zhang Tingyu and let him take advantage of this time to continue studying with Mr. Zhang for a period of time. Zhang Tingyu had already agreed.

But now that Zhang Tingyu has resumed his official position, he needs to start over many things one by one. This period will be very busy.

After Luo Jianing and Yinzhen discussed it, they felt that Honghui had grown up, and when he needed Mr. Zhang's guidance in the future, he could just go to Zhang Mansion to visit Zhang Tingyu. There was no need for him to live in Zhang's house and delay Zhang Tingyu's time.

The couple simply let Honghui and his younger brothers and sisters stay with Concubine De, so that they could take care of each other.

After saying goodbye to Concubine De, Luo Jianing came to the gathering place.

After Si Age settled down with Si Fujin, he went to Emperor Kangxi's side to talk to Emperor Ama. Si Fujin sat leisurely next to the carriage, waiting for others to arrive and set off when the auspicious time came.

Wu Fujin came to see her off, while Si Fujin and she were laughing and chatting. The fifth elder brother went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, but Jin Nianshi, Si Fujin, was standing nearby and no one wanted to pay attention to her.

Nian was very lonely. She turned to look at the prince, but she didn't dare to stare at him all the time, so she could only take a few glances quietly.

Then, she discovered that the prince was actually surrounded by palace maids and not a single eunuch.

It is unprecedented for the prince to be surrounded by palace maids. The young eunuch beside him is young and delicate, and others can't help but look at him when they see him.

Now he actually doesn't have any with him, which is really rare.

Although Sifujin and Wufujin found out, they didn't say anything about it.

San Fujin also noticed this and asked with a smile: "Where are the young eunuchs around His Royal Highness? Aren't the four spring, summer, autumn and winter your confidants? Why don't you see any of them now?"

The third elder brother hadn't noticed it at first, but when his wife asked about it, he asked casually: "Yes, why don't you see them?"

Thinking of the few caring people around him who were no longer around, the prince's face darkened instantly.

The twelfth elder brother winked at the third elder brother and signaled him to stop talking.

Ever since his uncle Tuo Heqi's accident, the twelfth elder brother has been much more low-key recently.

He vaguely heard his mother-in-law Ding concubine mention that the emperor had killed several palace people with a stick a few days ago. He didn't know if any of them included the prince's eunuchs from spring, summer, autumn and winter, so it was best for the third elder brother not to ask more questions.

Everyone fell silent.

Nian looked at this scene, scratching her head and feeling uncomfortable. She thought it would be nice if she could have a few more words with the prince, even just one sentence, so she said: "If His Highness the prince doesn't like to take them with him, just don't take them with him. How can this be?"

We can ask questions at will."

The prince was happy that someone came to his rescue, so he hurriedly said: "Zi Fu Jin's words make sense."

Nian felt that she had helped the prince a lot, and she felt sweet in her heart and said with a smile: "Your Highness does not need to be so outspoken."

Wu Fujin couldn't stand Nian's face, and immediately retorted: "Zi Fujin usually doesn't say 'no need to see outsiders' to me, so why did he say it to the prince at this time? As a younger brother and sister, how can you treat your eldest uncle like a younger brother?"

There’s no need to be so flattering. It’s better to restrain yourself.”

Nian's face suddenly turned red and white.

The prince hurriedly said: "Even if Ci Fujin is a concubine, we can be regarded as brother and sister-in-law. Fifth brother and sister, please don't blame Ci Fujin just because she speaks for me, lest people think you are jealous."

Wu Fujin was extremely angry, but it was the prince who spoke for Nian. It was not easy for her to contradict His Highness in public, so she could only huff and sulk.

Luo Jianing said: "Wu Fujin wanted to discipline the inner house, so he rebuked Xi Fujin. His Highness the Crown Prince did not argue with Xi Fujin, which is the prince's magnanimity. However, we cannot deny that Xi Fujin's words were overstepping. In this case, although Wu Fujin's statement

It's a bit extreme, but it's not unreasonable. I hope that Xi Fujin won't argue with Wu Fujin."

Si Fujin told the important point in an understatement, making the prince and Wu Fujin look good to each other. He only said that Wu Fujin, Nian, was the only one who was wrong.

The prince and Wu Fujin didn't say much.

Nian was the only one who was so angry that she wanted to refute, but because the prince didn't speak for her now, she didn't dare to speak.

However, Nian recorded all the grievances she suffered on Si Fujin's account, and looked at Si Fujin with an increasingly angry look.

Luo Jianing saw it and felt it didn't matter at all.

Ever since Nian failed to enter Prince Yong's Mansion as a side chamber, Nian had always held a grudge against her, and had a bad look every time he met her. In this case, she was not afraid of doing it again.

Besides, Luo Jianing also thought Nian was really ridiculous.

It was just a side room, and she was from Prince Yong's palace. What could she do to her, the majestic Princess Yong, over there? She was overestimating her abilities.

Soon, it was time to set off.

Wu Fujin and Si Fujin reluctantly said goodbye, and promised: "I will come to the palace from time to time. I will take care of your children, and I will also often go to Yonghe Palace to see Empress Dowager De. Don't worry.

good."

The relationship between the two of them is basically that of best friends.

Luo Jianing smiled and thanked her: "I will bring you delicious and fun things when I come back. I must satisfy you."

Wu Fujin laughed loudly, opened the car curtain himself, and watched Si Fujin get into the car.

The carriages and horses started slowly.

The group left the capital in a grand manner.

Along the way, Luo Jianing felt comfortable eating and sleeping.

The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother often ride horses and talk side by side.

As for Nian, after Wu Fujin and Si Fujin told her about the incident where she helped the prince speak to him before departure, the prince did not dare to talk to her openly. Others rarely spoke to her because of her status as Fujin.

It was quite lonely and boring along the way.

The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother are brothers from the same mother, so they are naturally close to each other.

Because their mother and concubine had warned the brothers earlier, the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers did not show much concern for the fourth elder brother and fourth elder brother Si Fujin along the way. The two of them rarely even talked to the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law.

If they had too much contact with each other, it would seem that they were too close to the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law. It would be better to stay away from each other and take care of each other if anything happens.

Of course, their mother-in-law and secret concubine still often went to pay their respects to Empress Dowager De. The brothers were just showing off in front of the emperor and the prince.

After a while, everyone finally set foot on the grassland and entered Mongolia.

The Mongolian king came to entertain them, and a bonfire party was held in the evening to entertain the distinguished guests from afar.

The bonfire was lit, and the smell of barbecue wafted freely, attracting people to feast.

The Mongolian prince recognized Sifujin. Sifujin had been here before and danced with the princess. Although it happened many years ago, he and his children still remembered Sifujin's dance.

The Mongolian prince personally came to invite Sifujin to dance.

Luo Jianing looked at the girls laughing beside the campfire and asked with a smile: "Are these your granddaughters?" The princesses who danced with her back then have grown up, and these should be her grandchildren.

Because Sifujin spoke Mongolian, the Mongolian prince liked and respected Sifujin more and more, and laughed loudly: "As expected of Sifujin, you can tell the identities of these children at a glance." He asked his grandchildren to come over and give them to him.

Sifujin wishes you well.

"There is no need to disturb the children." Luo Jianing said with a smile: "I am a little tired from traveling, so I will not dance today and let them dance to their heart's content. I will play with the little princesses after I have a rest tomorrow.

"

The Mongolian prince smiled and said: "That's fine, please take a rest." Then he returned to his seat and sat down.

Luo Jianing was actually not very tired.

After all, there were "health potions" to protect her along the way, so she wouldn't be too tired.

It's just that she vaguely felt that a lot of things might have happened recently, and she wasn't sure which day it would be. Today was the first day in Mongolia, so she should take it easy and save more energy.

Emperor Kangxi saw Si Fujin talking to the Mongolian prince from a distance, so he turned to Si Age and said, "Si Fujin knows everything, so it's a good idea to bring her here."

Moreover, the princes of various Mongolian tribes who had seen Sifu Jin all praised her highly.

Emperor Kangxi felt that having such a decent daughter-in-law was something he was very proud of.

The fourth prince said modestly: "She still has a lot to learn. It's really the Emperor Ama and the princes who have given her too much praise." Having said that, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and he was obviously very proud.

Emperor Kangxi laughed, pointed to the fourth elder brother and said to the fifth elder brother: "Look at your fourth elder brother. He is very happy to praise Si Fu Jin a few times."

The father and son were very happy and toasted a glass of wine together.

At this moment, the fifth elder brother didn't notice, and his sidekick Jinnian ran to dance by the bonfire.

Nian originally thought that since she was young and beautiful, she would be the most eye-catching presence beside this dancing bonfire.

Seeing that Si Fujin refused to give up, she took the initiative to hold up her skirt and walked out, singing and dancing with the girls.

Unexpectedly, after seeing her end, the girls slowly withdrew from the dance one by one, and she was gradually left dancing alone.

Nian thought it was nothing at first.

The men around her were watching her graceful dance, which gave her a long-lost feeling of being noticed by everyone. She even couldn't help but hum a song when she started dancing.

However, she soon found that the eyes of others were no longer on her. Feeling bored, she withdrew from the venue.

As she walked to the tables in the capital, she heard the Mongolians around her staring at her and talking quietly about her. Unfortunately, she didn't understand Mongolian and couldn't understand.

After Nian sat down, he found a maid next to the emperor and asked him, "Can you understand Mongolian?"

When she was walking this way just now, the Mongols were talking to her. The little palace maid looked at her and then at the Mongols, as if she understood. That's why she asked.
