Gelfin was originally sitting with Yinreng and others, but when no one was paying attention, he slipped over to talk to Aljishan.
"Brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't let me keep an eye on the eldest prince. What should I do?"
Aljishan frowned, "Were you discovered?"
Gelfen was a little embarrassed. "Maybe I was looking too directly at him. His Royal Highness said that if I kept looking at him like that, the eldest prince would find out sooner or later, and then it would cause trouble for His Royal Highness."
Aljishan felt helpless about his silly brother. His father shouldn't have given him such an important task.
"Okay, I understand this matter. I will just pay more attention to the eldest brother in the future."
Gelfen was a little unconvinced, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts the eldest prince very much, but Mingzhu speaks ill of His Royal Highness behind his back. It's a pity that my father is not here, otherwise he would definitely be able to deal with Mingzhu."
Aljishan was stunned. "When did Mingzhu say anything bad about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"During the daytime journey, the Crown Prince and the eldest prince were chatting and laughing in the carriage, and Mingzhu said that the Crown Prince was in high spirits. But he knew that Li Guangdi was in the carriage and was definitely going to teach the Crown Prince lessons. He said this, but he was just trying to say that the Crown Prince was ignoring his studies and only cared about playing."
When Aljishan heard this, he picked up the wine jug and walked towards Mingzhu. He was completely drunk by Mingzhu's surprised, stunned and confused look.
Seeing this, Gelfin finally felt relieved.
When they set out the next day, Yinreng learned that the two princesses were riding horses and following behind the team. He immediately became interested. After communicating with Yinzhi, they each rode a horse and followed the two princesses.
When Concubine Hui learned about this, she just found it funny.
"Your Majesty, our eldest prince is very considerate of the two princesses. I heard that he was still teaching the two princesses how to ride horses last night, and today he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are following behind the two princesses. I think he is protecting them."
Concubine Hui smiled and nodded, "It's rare for this silly child to have such a thoughtful thought."
Ruixue also laughed, "Our eldest brother really has a kind heart."
Pure and kind heart.
Concubine Hui smiled.
Once upon a time, when there was only this prince in the palace, she was determined to fight for him.
Even though the child was taken out of the palace to be raised after birth, it still could not stop her from striving to get ahead.
But until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born.
Empress Hesheli was in critical condition due to complications during childbirth, so the emperor immediately appointed her as the crown prince.
When she heard the news, she felt pity for her child and couldn't help but wonder, if the child grew up and returned to the palace, how would he face his younger brother who was younger than him but had a higher status than him?
It was obviously the younger brother who should salute the older brother, but when he came back he had to salute his own younger brother?
Fortunately, after Baoqing returned to the palace, she was only a little uncomfortable, but did not show any difficulty in accepting it.
What made her even more relieved was the Crown Prince's kindness and respect for his elder brother.
"Ruixue, give them some snacks during the break. Riding a horse is not as easy as riding in a car. I'm sure they'll get hungry quickly."
Ruixue agreed happily.
In the carriage in front, Kangxi was also quite surprised when he heard Liang Jiugong talk about this matter.
"Are they all riding horses? Is the prince riding a horse too?"
Kangxi asked uncertainly.
Liang Jiugong replied, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the eldest prince, and the two princesses are all riding horses. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's tutor is also riding behind them, and the fifty-odd young soldiers are also following behind."
Kangxi smiled and said, "Tell Longxi who is ahead to slow down the pace and take more rest along the way."
Liang Jiugong agreed, immediately jumped off the carriage and went to deliver the message.
The carriage was not moving very fast. On the one hand, Kangxi wanted to use this eastern tour to inspect the lives of the people along the way, and on the other hand, it was also to take into account the speed of the children riding horses.
It was almost May when we left Shanhaiguan.
It was still a little cold outside the Great Wall at this time, but the feeling of riding a horse in the wind during the day was still very wonderful.
Along the way, the complexions of both the two princesses and the young men were darker, but they were all rosy and looked very healthy.
The two princesses' riding skills improved rapidly, and they could occasionally ride horses like Yinreng and Yinzhi.
Therefore, the speed of travel is no longer as slow as before, but gradually increases.
Concubine Hui looked at the children, all of whom had dark circles on their faces, and felt both amused and helpless.
"Ruixue, give each of the two princesses a bottle of the moisturizer I brought. Look at them, they've only been out for two months and they've already gotten darker. When they go to Shengjing to pay homage to their ancestors later, the local officials might think our princesses are just left alone."
Ruixue couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll go prepare some right away. Not only moisturizing cream, but also some rouge and powder. Also, tell the princesses to take a ride in the carriage to take care of their skin tone. It's really not good to be exposed to the wind all the time."
Concubine Hui also laughed, "Okay, let's do as you say."
For the next period of time, the two princesses obediently got into the carriage, and Yinzhi and Yinreng also followed them in.
After riding a horse for more than a month, I felt a little uncomfortable sitting in a carriage.
"Second sister, I still want to go out riding."
Duan Jing couldn't sit still, as if nails had grown on his butt.
Rong Xian also made a bitter face, "At first I didn't want to ride, but now that I'm used to it, I don't want to ride in a carriage anymore."
Duan Jing also sighed, "Yeah. Fortunately, we can still ride horses after we send Sheng Jing away, but what about when we return to the palace? Even if we want to ride a horse, it will be difficult. We can't go to the stable every day."
The two sisters looked at each other and sighed silently.
In another carriage, Yinreng and Yinzhi were leaning in the carriage like two old men, with no image at all.
Since they had been riding horses outside all day, Li Guangdi could only talk about Mongolian things during the fragmented time when everyone was resting.
Fortunately, his lectures are quite lively and don’t make people feel bored or disgusted. Sometimes, it feels unsatisfying to listen to them.
Now that everyone had returned to the carriage, Li Guangdi also squeezed in.
"Your Highness, we will arrive in Shengjing in a few days, and you and the Emperor will then offer sacrifices to your ancestors."
Li Guangdi prepared to elaborate on some precautions when offering sacrifices to ancestors.
Yinreng opened his eyes and asked, "Brother, don't you need to offer sacrifices to the ancestors?"
Yinzhi also raised his eyebrows. He could sleep until he woke up naturally without having to offer sacrifices to his ancestors.
Li Guangdi choked and said, "Of course we have to offer sacrifices to our ancestors. The two princesses also have to offer sacrifices to their ancestors, and Concubine Hui also has to offer sacrifices to her ancestors."
"Then why do you mention me alone?"
Li Guangdi was upset. "You are the Crown Prince, and your procedures are different from theirs."
Yinreng closed his eyes, "Oh, then tell me."
Li Guangdi: ...
I don't want to say anymore.
I want to close my eyes and die.
After Li Guangdi calmed down, he said, "During the ancestral worship ceremony in the main hall, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor can kowtow inside the hall. Everyone else must kowtow outside. The worship ceremony lasts for three days, and the daily process is the same..."
Li Guangdi kept talking, and Yinreng and Yinzhi fell asleep without him knowing when.
