"What? Wutai Mountain?" Upon hearing this, He Xue stood up immediately, but she forgot that she was in a carriage, so she bumped her head on the carriage roof!

"Ah!" Xue cried out in pain, tears welling up in her eyes!

"How could you be so careless?" The Imperial Noble Consort checked He Xue's head.

"It's alright, Auntie!" Xue's mind is now entirely focused on Mount Wutai!

Mount Wutai... Mentioning Mount Wutai inevitably brings to mind Emperor Shunzhi and Consort Dong'e! Could it be that Emperor Shunzhi really became a monk?

Was Kangxi's trip to Mount Wutai to meet with Shunzhi? Would she have had the opportunity to ask Shunzhi about his relationship with Consort Dong'e?

"Aunt, Uncle Emperor went to Mount Wutai, could it be to see..." He Xue didn't know how to address Shunzhi for a moment. It wouldn't be appropriate to use his title directly. The late emperor? That's a dead man!

"Yes!" The Imperial Noble Consort nodded.

Kangxi wanted Shunzhi to see that he had not only governed the Qing Dynasty very well, but also that his son, Shunzhi's grandson and the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, was about to get married, and that the Qing Dynasty would become even more prosperous under the rule of the father and son.

Another reason why Kangxi came to see Shunzhi was that the Empress Dowager was getting old and her health was not as good as before. Although the Empress Dowager had never said it, Kangxi knew that she had been thinking about Shunzhi all these years. Therefore, Kangxi wanted Shunzhi to go down the mountain to see the Empress Dowager and fulfill her wish.

He Xue is now really looking forward to arriving at Wutai Mountain soon!

He Xue lifted the curtain and looked outside. The Crown Prince was riding his horse next to the carriage. When he saw He Xue sticking her head out, he immediately rode over.

"What happened just now?" the Crown Prince asked, having heard He Xue's voice.

"I accidentally bumped my head!" He Xue said, looking at the Crown Prince.

"Are you injured? Let the imperial physician come and take a look!" the crown prince said worriedly.

“Brother Crown Prince, it’s alright! Aunt has already checked on him, he’s fine!” He Xue said.

"Be careful next time! Do you want to go out for a ride?" the Crown Prince asked, eagerly anticipating riding a horse with He Xue.

“Okay!” He Xue replied excitedly.

He Xue said goodbye to the Imperial Noble Consort and then got off the carriage.

Qingdai had already brought the horse over for Hexue.

He Zhu looked at Qing Dai and shook his head, "She's still too young. She doesn't understand the Crown Prince's meaning at all. The Crown Prince wants to ride a horse with Princess He Xue!"

"Chief Steward He, what's wrong? Do you have a headache?" Qingdai saw He Zhu shaking his head at her.

"Miss Qingdai, we must learn to understand our masters' thoughts!" He Zhu whispered to Qingdai.

"Thank you for the reminder, Grand Steward, but I can't compare to you. I'm straightforward, unlike you who's full of tricks!" Qingdai said.

"He Zhu, you mustn't corrupt Qing Dai!" He Xue happened to overhear He Zhu and Qing Dai's conversation.

"Princess, you're joking!" He Zhu said with a smile. "This servant will help you onto your horse!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Steward He!" He Xue said with a smile.

"Princess, you're making this servant too proud!" He Zhu said in a panic.

The Crown Prince had been waiting for He Xue to ride a horse with him, but when he looked up, He Xue was already on the horse, and He Zhu was also fawning over him. The Crown Prince cursed He Zhu eight hundred times in his heart and rode his horse towards He Xue.

"It feels like I haven't ridden a horse in a long time, I'm a bit rusty!" He Xue said. Actually, she wasn't really good at riding a horse. She learned for a while before going to Fujian, and she rarely rode a horse after that.

“Princess, how about I accompany you on a horse ride first, and you can ride on your own once you’re more familiar with it?” Qingdai asked.

Before He Xue could speak, He Zhu said to Qing Dai, "Girl, the Crown Prince will naturally accompany you on horseback, so you don't need to worry about it!"

"I……"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean?' Can't you see the Crown Prince is here? Shut up!" He Zhu quickly said to Qing Dai.

"Brother Crown Prince!" He Xue saw the Crown Prince coming and rode her horse up to him.
