Along the way, the RV traveled on official roads, which at that time were mostly rammed earth roads or dirt roads.
Although it wasn't as easy to travel on asphalt roads, there were no large potholes or rocks, and the road was relatively smooth. In addition, since the emperor was traveling, there were advance troops to take care of things along the way, so the journey was relatively smooth.
Along the way, the royal family and their accompanying team also fully appreciated the convenience of RVs.
First of all, the space is large and spacious, allowing people to walk, sit, or lie down comfortably. If you've been sitting for a long time, you can stroll around the RV to stretch your legs. You can also lie down and sleep the whole way.
Another advantage is that you can watch TV, get water, and use the restroom without having to stop the car. It offers good privacy and is also safe.
Moreover, it is faster than a horse-drawn carriage and the ride is much less bumpy.
Everyone was curious about the RVs and excited about the trip. It wasn't until lunchtime that the convoy stopped at the foot of a mountain.
This time, there was no need to set up tents. Everyone just needed to get out of the car and stretch their legs. As soon as Li Yao turned on the outdoor stove, the cooks in each car started cooking.
She then took out a folding portable camping table and chairs, and the group went outside to breathe fresh air and wait for their meal, giving the accompanying guards time to take care of their own needs.
In the afternoon, the imperial concubines and princes' wives changed cars and gathered together to play mahjong, card games, or watch TV series together; everyone found their own companions.
And so, they traveled and stopped, stopping whenever they encountered a scenic view, and resting outside bustling towns to resupply. As planned, the group arrived at Jiugong at the end of May.
The Nine City Palace had been prepared by the advance team and had been thoroughly cleaned. So when Li Yao and her party arrived, the masters only had to go to their respective assigned palaces, and all their luggage was carried by the guards and maids accompanying them.
Because she had an RV, Li Yao's experience on this trip was richer than the others.
In the past, when she traveled, she was only concerned with the bumpy ride; otherwise, it felt no different from being in the palace. This time, however, because it was a motorhome, which she had used in modern times, the difference was even more pronounced.
It can only be said that people in ancient times really knew how to enjoy life. They had everything done for them, and a palace maid would hand them something if they looked at it for more than two breaths.
You don't have to do anything outside. You just wait to be fed and drunk. The water temperature is tested and fed to you. If you frown, the food in your hand will be changed immediately. Everything you eat, wear, and use is the most familiar and comfortable. There is no reduction in quality because you are away from home.
Tsk! Li Yao felt that she definitely wouldn't be able to adapt to this kind of life if she went to other eras in the future.
After everyone settled in, it was already evening. Jiucheng Palace is a palace complex built in the mountains. Because it is deep in the mountains, it is much cooler. The night wind is cool, making it perfect for having barbecue, drinking beer and watching the stars outdoors at night.
Li Yao did just that that night.
She took out the grill, had her cooks prepare the skewers, and the palace maids prepare the charcoal. Then Li Yao taught them how to grill.
The aroma successfully attracted the Queen next door and several princes from nearby, who all brought their families to come and enjoy the meal.
With so many people, it was lively. Li Yao took out a large bucket of beer and ice, poured a glass for everyone, and the group ate barbecue, enjoyed the cool summer breeze, and laughed and chatted happily in the yard.
During the event, the princes' wives got a little tipsy and were in a good mood. They even played the zither and composed poems for everyone. The second prince also performed a sword dance, and the third prince also showed off a set of boxing moves. Everyone didn't go back until midnight.
