Concubine Yi is practicing Mongolian.
Ever since the child was given to the empress dowager, she has been practicing Mongolian, and even Huanxi learned it as well, just to be able to communicate with the empress dowager without any obstacles.
When she heard Liang Jiugong say that the emperor was looking for her, she had no choice but to put away the book and walk towards Kangxi's carriage.
"What have you been doing along the way?"
Kangxi's complexion improved a lot when he saw Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "I am learning Mongolian."
Kangxi raised an eyebrow, "Learning Mongolian?"
Concubine Yi nodded. "After Xiaowu was brought to the Empress Dowager, I began to learn Mongolian. The Empress Dowager was very kind to me and never stopped me from visiting the child, so I wanted to learn Mongolian well so that I could talk to the Empress Dowager more often."
Kangxi nodded with satisfaction.
He has always admired Concubine Yi's intelligence and magnanimity, which other concubines could not learn.
"Xiao Wu was given to the Queen Mother to raise. I know you feel bad but I just don't say it. But don't worry, we will have children again. When the time comes, I will do my best to protect you and give birth to your child."
Concubine Yi looked at Kangxi with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty."
Outside the carriage, Liang Jiugong couldn't help but think to himself, no wonder Concubine Yi was able to regain favor, it must be said that she did have some real skills.
When the group arrived at Mulan Paddock, the guards who had gone ahead had already set up their tents.
When Concubine Yi returned to her tent, she couldn't help but lie down to rest.
"It's still more comfortable lying down."
Huanxi smiled as she cleaned up, "Your Majesty, take a rest if you are tired. Dinner will probably have to wait a while. How about I give you a leg massage?"
Concubine Yi waved her hand and said, "You should clean up first, don't worry about me."
She turned over, thought for a moment, and stood up again. "I'm so tired, and the Queen Mother must be feeling even worse. I'd better go see the Queen Mother and Xiao Wu."
He laughed happily, put down the things in his hands and followed Concubine Yi to the Queen Mother's tent.
To her surprise, the Queen Mother was not resting, but was playing with Xiaowu with a doll.
At this time, Xiaowu was less than two years old, but he could already trot happily on the ground.
The palace maid was holding a big cloth tiger and running slowly in front, and Xiaowu was chasing slowly behind with a smile on his face.
The laughter spread far away, and Concubine Yi heard it before she even entered the tent.
I couldn't help but whisper, "The Queen Mother is really energetic. She can still entertain the children after all the trouble she has gone through."
Huanxi suppressed her laughter, gently nudged Concubine Yi, and whispered, "Please keep your voice down."
When the two entered the tent, they saw Xiaowu chasing the cloth tiger. When he saw her come in, he rushed over and shouted, "Mother."
Concubine Yi picked up Xiaowu and touched his little face. "Are you tired from the journey, Xiaowu?"
Xiao Wu shook his head, his face still happy, "Happy."
Concubine Yi carried Xiaowu to the Empress Dowager, bowed and greeted her, then sat down.
"I thought your Majesty rarely goes out, and I think it must be tiring for you to travel all the way."
The Queen Mother was also pleased and waved her hand, saying, "It's not hard. I used to go out riding a lot when I was on the grasslands. This distance is nothing."
Concubine Yi laughed, "I was just thinking of giving Your Majesty a shoulder massage and a leg rub, but now it seems you're even more refreshed than I am."
The Queen Mother laughed heartily. "You, when you have time, go and accompany the Emperor. You don't have to serve me. I'm fine with Xiaowu by my side. You should have another child with the Emperor as soon as possible."
Concubine Yi nodded embarrassedly, her eyes looking at Xiaowu with a loving look.
"Alright, alright, go back and rest, or the Emperor won't be able to find you when he looks for you."
After saying that, he patted her hands again and said with a smile, "It's better to have children early, and don't let others have them first."
Concubine Yi smiled and stood up to bow, "In that case, I will go back first."
Watching her leave, the Queen Mother sighed, "She is also a miserable woman."
Yunzhu advised, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Although the Fifth Prince was raised by you, you never stopped her from visiting the child. You even allowed the Fifth Prince to openly call her Mother. That's already very good."
The Queen Mother nodded. "Xiao Wu is a good child, and Concubine Yi is also very good. She taught herself Mongolian just to talk to me, which is also rare. Although everything is for the child, it is good that she has such a heart."
The old lady was feeling quite emotional here, but the children were having fun together.
All the children gathered in Yinreng's tent, and He Yuzhu laid out the sweet wine and food he brought from the palace one by one.
There was no way. Dinner was still some time away, but they were so hungry that they couldn't wait for the meal, so they all came to Yinreng to beg for food.
Yinreng couldn't help but smile bitterly as he watched the children wolfing down their food. "How could they be so hungry? Could it be that they didn't eat anything on the way?"
Duan Jing said, "I've been riding the whole time and haven't eaten anything. I thought I'd stop being hungry after a while, but it turns out I'm getting hungrier."
Yinreng didn't know what to say for a moment. He had never heard of someone being hungry and then no longer hungry.
"He Yuzhu, go tell the Emperor that we're eating first and won't be coming over soon."
He Yuzhu took the order and left. After Kangxi heard about this, he looked at Liang Jiugong in shock.
"Those children didn't eat anything during the journey?"
Liang Jiugong was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know either. They were all riding horses with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I guess they didn't eat anything."
Kangxi's face was gloomy. "The older ones are riding horses, what about the younger ones?"
Liang Jiugong wanted to cry.
The younger ones just sat in the carriage with their mothers. How could they know whether they had eaten or not?
Seeing Liang Jiugong's expression, Kangxi glared at him fiercely and said, "What are you still standing there for? Go and see if anything is ready and send it over there quickly."
Liang Jiugong was about to leave when Kangxi said, "Has Baocheng not eaten yet? Go and tell them to give my food to Baocheng first."
Seeing Liang Jiugong standing there in a daze, he shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Do you want Baocheng to starve to death?"
Liang Jiugong ran away without even having time to salute.
When the food was delivered to Yinreng, everyone had already eaten their fill. Suddenly, when they saw plates of delicious food being delivered to them, their eyes immediately lit up.
"I want roast rabbit legs."
Xiao San spoke vaguely.
Yinreng tore off a few pieces of meat from the rabbit leg and handed them to him. "You've already eaten quite a bit. You're not allowed to eat a whole rabbit leg. You'll feel bloated."
Xiao San did not resist, but obediently ate the rabbit meat that Yinreng put into the bowl in small bites.
Xiao Si took advantage of Yinreng's inattention to pull off the other rabbit leg and put it into his mouth, but was pulled out by Yinzhi.
"You haven't even grown all your teeth yet, and you still want to eat a whole rabbit leg. Aren't you afraid of hurting your teeth?"
After saying that, he imitated Yinreng and tore off the rabbit leg meat one by one.
