Mingxiu did miss everyone in the palace, especially the young crown prince. They had never been separated for so long since the crown prince was born; this was the first time.
The Emperor's identity has been revealed, so the ship he is traveling on this time is more luxurious than the previous ones, and the decorations on board are also very extravagant.
The front of the garment also begins with the name of a golden dragon.
On this day, Mingxiu, unusually, wore the Manchu-style dress from the palace and boarded a boat with Emperor Kangxi.
As you drive along the roadside, you can see people kneeling and kowtowing to thank the emperor.
Liang Tianqing and Yu Chenglin had been running rampant in Hangzhou for a long time, and no one could do anything about it. This time, the emperor came and eliminated these scourges, so the people were very grateful.
They all knelt on the ground to pay their respects to the Emperor, thanking him for helping them eliminate the scourge.
Mingxiu stood behind Kangxi, looking at the people below, and felt a pang of emotion. Having a good official was truly important to the people.
After the boat sailed out of the crowded area, Mingxiu returned to her room. Although the boat was very stable and she didn't get seasick, she still had to be careful on the boat.
Life on the ship was always a bit boring. Mingxiu spent most of her time playing games, mahjong, looking at picture books, or occasionally practicing calligraphy with Kangxi. Kangxi mostly discussed with the Grand Tutors how to deal with what he had seen and heard since the trip.
In the evening, there was naturally a fight between fairies. There was no other exercise, so when Mingxiu got off the boat, she felt weak in the legs and her waist had become much thicker.
Since Kangxi's identity had been exposed, their journey was not very safe. They didn't stop much along the way and basically rushed to the palace at top speed.
Yonghe Palace.
Looking at the long-unseen Yonghe Palace, Mingxiu felt a pang of emotion. She realized that she had unknowingly come to regard this place as her home, even though there were no real rights in this place. But she had truly developed an attachment to living here.
When the servants at Yonghe Palace saw their mistress return, they excitedly rushed forward, exclaiming, "Your Majesty, you're finally back! We've all missed you so much!"
"Yuqing missed Your Highness so much too. Your Highness, you're finally back! The palace felt so cold and lonely without you here," Yuqing said with a smile as she helped Mingxiu into the palace.
"Sister Green Bamboo, Yulan, did you have fun going on this trip with Her Majesty? Did you bring us any gifts?"
"Yes, yes, don't worry, I brought them all for you."
"This trip was so much fun! I even ate so many things I'd never tried before!"
Mingxiu listened to their discussion with a smile.
When he returned to the main hall of Yonghe Palace and sat on the couch, Mingxiu felt as if he had truly returned home.
She had everyone pack and organize the things she had brought back, and summoned all the palace servants to her side.
"I have been away from the palace for a while, and I am grateful to everyone for arranging it so well. I have decided to reward each of you with two months' wages. In addition, I have brought gifts for everyone, which I will have Green Bamboo and the others bring out later so that everyone can share them," Mingxiu said with a smile to the people below.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The palace maids and eunuchs serving her were thrilled to hear that their mistress had gone out to play and brought them gifts. They were even happier to hear that she had received two extra months' wages.
Mingxiu nodded, said a few words, and then dismissed them. Only Xiaoxizi, Yuqing, Yulan, and Lvzhu remained in the palace.
"What will happen while I'm away from the palace?" Mingxiu asked, taking a sip of tea.
"Your Majesty, nothing has happened in the palace recently. However, His Highness the Crown Prince often comes to ask when Your Majesty will return," Xiao Xizi replied respectfully from the side.
Mingxiu nodded. Yinreng should be here soon; he must have already heard the news of their return. No, no, they probably already know in the palace that the Emperor has returned.
"Alright, it's best that nothing happened in the palace, but we can't let our guard down. The Emperor only took me with him on this trip, and many people will definitely be unhappy with me when I return. So we need to be even more careful. We need to check everything in the palace thoroughly, do you understand?" Mingxiu instructed thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will definitely keep a close watch on every part of Yonghe Palace," Xiao Xizi said firmly.
Green Bamboo and the others nodded in agreement.
Mingxiu nodded, telling them to all leave and get some rest.
She also needs to rest well. After returning, she will have to deal with various matters in the palace. Although going out to play was fun, life after returning is also troublesome.
Mingxiu felt uncomfortable whenever she thought about the provocations and sarcastic remarks she would encounter from the concubines in the future.
Not wanting to deal with these things, Mingxiu looked distressed.
well.
You should get some rest; only when you're well-rested will you have the energy to deal with them.
The journey was dusty and tiring, but not particularly exhausting either.
Mingxiu lay on the bed, rolling around and tossing and turning, making a mess of her bed.
She sighed contentedly; her own bed was so comfortable. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep almost immediately.
Mingxiu was awakened by Green Bamboo when she opened her eyes again.
Mingxiu stretched on her big bed, still half asleep and not wanting to get up, when she heard Green Bamboo say, "His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
Mingxiu jumped out of bed. She hadn't changed her clothes when she went to sleep; she had only taken off her outer robe. Now she could put the robe back on and go out.
