At this moment, Yan Yu lay in the carriage, unable to eat anything. Although the Fourth Prince had come to see her, he had immediately gone to meet the Emperor. Yun Yuan placed the large cushion that Nian Xue had brought beside her, so that Yan Yu could lie on it more comfortably.

"Did the Niu family send this?" Yan Yu had vomited up everything she had eaten during the day due to the bumpy ride, and her pretty face was slightly pale.

"Yes." Yun Yuan doesn't get carsick, but after serving Yan Yu, she was so exhausted that she barely had any strength left.

"Hmph, she's really cunning. She probably made more than one; I reckon there's one in the Fourth Prince's carriage too. It seems I really underestimated this Princess Niu!" Yan Yu wasn't grateful at all for Lan Qin giving her the cushion; instead, she felt that Lan Qin was deliberately trying to please the Fourth Prince and win him over.

"If Your Highness doesn't like it, shall I take it away?" Yun Yuan said cautiously.

"When did I say I didn't like it? But I must say, it's actually quite comfortable leaning against it. Go and get some of the dinner that was brought over for me." After feeling a little better, Yan Yu also realized that she was hungry and her stomach was empty.

As for the Fourth Prince, not only him, but also the Fifth Prince, Eighth Prince, Ninth Prince, Thirteenth Prince, and Fourteenth Prince were currently accompanying Emperor Kangxi for a meal and conversation under the imperial tent. On the official road, the eunuchs had already set up a temporary tent for Kangxi, which even had cushions and small tables inside, somewhat similar to a Mongolian yurt.

On the couch in front of Emperor Kangxi were six dishes of imperial food. Naturally, they were different from what Lanqin and the others ate, but compared to what was served in the palace, this was already very simple. The couch in front of the Fourth Prince and the other princes was smaller, and there were two fewer plates on it.

"Father, why don't we camp here tonight? Your health is important. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep going," the Fourteenth Prince said sincerely, looking at Kangxi's slightly tired face.

Kangxi glanced at the Fourteenth Prince, his eyes filled with gentle paternal affection. The Fourteenth Prince was his and Consort De's last child, embodying their decades-long imperial and paternal bond.

"Very well, let's not overexert ourselves on the first day. Liang Jiugong, convey my decree: set up tents and rest here. We'll continue our journey early tomorrow morning," Kangxi said.

Liang Gonggong bowed his head and replied with a whisk in hand, then left the tent.

"Father, we should be able to arrive at Shuntian Prefecture by tomorrow afternoon. Should we have them kneel to welcome His Majesty?" the Eighth Prince said.

"No need," Kangxi said, waving his hand. "I don't plan to stay in Baoding for too long. Just have them supply some grain and horses. If we let them have their way, they might even build me some kind of temporary palace!"

After pondering for a moment, the Fourth Prince said, "Your Majesty, could you please have Baoding Prefecture send some medicinal herbs or prepared medicines? In the future, wherever we go, we should have the local authorities provide some pills in addition to grain and horses, just in case of emergencies."

As soon as the Fourth Prince finished speaking, the Ninth Prince chuckled and said, "Fourth Brother really pities his concubines. One of the princesses gets carsick, so he has to prepare medicine in every prefecture he visits."

The Ninth Prince overheard the Fourth Prince questioning Yun Yuan from inside Yan Yu's carriage when he happened to pass by her carriage about Yan Yu's motion sickness.

Upon hearing this, Kangxi looked at the Fourth Prince with puzzlement, forcing the latter to report the truth: "Ninth Brother, you are mistaken. My concubine, Princess Ula, suffers from motion sickness, and I have already asked the imperial physician to take some pills for her. I mentioned earlier that we should prepare pills in the prefectures we visit because I imagine that during this imperial tour, Father Emperor will be inspecting the Yellow River, and he will likely not be staying in the palaces prepared for him in various places. Therefore, I thought of preparing more pills in case someone cannot withstand such a long journey and falls ill, so that medicine can be used in time. The imperial entourage consists of several thousand people, and it is inevitable that some will not be able to adapt to the long journey every day. In order not to delay Father Emperor's journey, I thought of carrying more pills to prevent colds or heatstroke in case someone falls ill."

After hearing this, Kangxi nodded approvingly and said, "Fourth Prince, you are right. It is very good that you can see the big picture from your princess."

The Fourth Prince immediately nodded and said, "I am extremely gratified that I can share some of Father Emperor's worries."

Ninth Prince had no choice but to raise the wine cup on the couch and say to Fourth Prince, "Fourth Brother, let me toast you. I was just misunderstanding you because you thought so much about Father Emperor."

The Eighth Prince also raised his wine cup and said, "This cup is a toast to Father Emperor, wishing him good health and longevity!"

Everyone raised their cups, and the Fourth Prince stayed with Kangxi until 7 PM before finally leaving the imperial tent.

When the Fourth Prince arrived at the location of the Fourth Prince's carriage caravan, he saw that several tents had already been set up on both sides of the official road.

Su Peisheng followed behind the Fourth Master. Seeing this, he stepped forward and said, "Master, let this servant help you to go into the tent and wash your face."

The Fourth Prince nodded, dismounted, handed the reins to the eunuch guarding outside his tent, and then went inside.

"Su Peisheng, go and see how Yan Yu is doing. Report back immediately if anything happens!" The Fourth Prince said, while gesturing to the eunuchs who came out with Su Peisheng to help him change clothes and wash his face.

Su Peisheng acknowledged and withdrew. When he arrived in front of Yan Yu's tent, before he could utter a sound, he heard Yan Yu's voice coming from inside.

"Go, get out and kneel down! You can't even do something as simple as washing your face properly, what are you standing here for?" Yan Yu was scolding Chun Tao when Chun Liu's voice came next: "Princess, please calm down. You just suffered from the bumpy ride during the day, so don't get angry now." She was sent by the Fujin to follow Yan Yu, to put it bluntly, to help her.

"Aunt Chunliu, you'd better not make a sound while I'm disciplining my maid," Yan Yu said with dissatisfaction. She hadn't wanted Chunliu to come along in the first place, but the Fujin insisted that she come.

"Princess, things are inconvenient when you're traveling, unlike when you're at home. Chun Tao hasn't done anything wrong. If you punish her rashly and the master sees it, he might think you're heartless. Please think it over!"

"She's just a servant. Am I so arrogant that I can't even punish a servant?" Yan Yu was already feeling extremely depressed from the day's travel and vomiting. Seeing Chun Liu still reprimanding her, speaking to her in the tone of a princess consort, she was naturally quite displeased.

However, Su Peisheng, who was outside the tent, was unaware of this. He felt a slight aversion to Yan Yu's disdain for the servants. Compared to Lan Qin's leniency and ease, Su Peisheng felt that Yan Yu was too harsh.

Hearing this, he simply didn't go in and turned back to Fourth Master's tent. Fourth Master was already lying on the bed reading a book. Seeing him come in, he asked, "Is Yan Yu feeling better?"

Su Peisheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this servant thinks Yan Yu is much better and should be fine."
