Within two days after the hunting ended, people from various Mongolian tribes began to leave one after another. Then Kangxi ordered everyone to pack up and prepare to move camp and return to Beijing.
On the day Kangxi returned to Beijing, the Mongolian princes and nobles who remained here naturally came to see him off, and among them were Yinzuo's good friend Altai and his father.
Parting is always sad, but no matter how reluctant they are, they still have to leave. After all, their home is in the capital and their relatives are there too.
"Sixth Prince, please don't forget our agreement. Next time you come to the grassland, I will definitely take you to visit our tribe."
Faced with his little friends who were heartbroken because of the upcoming separation, Yinzuo, even as an adult with a soul, couldn't help but feel a little sad, and waved to Altai under the carriage.
"Remember, if you ever come to Beijing, remember to come find me. I'll take you to eat Beijing's delicious food and go boating in Houhai..."
"Yes, we'll take you out to play when you come to the capital. I heard from my eldest brother that it's very lively outside the palace and there are many fun things..."
After sending you a thousand miles, we must finally say goodbye. As the carriage slowly started, Yinzuo and his party officially set off. Altai chased Yinzuo and his party's carriage for a long time, until he could no longer catch up, so he stopped and stood there, waving to Yinzuo and his party.
"Go back, we will definitely see each other again in the future."
Yinzuo didn't let down the curtain until he could no longer see Altai's figure, and then he became visibly wilted.
"Dexi, do you think we will meet again?"
Dexi did not answer Yinzuo's question, but took a cup from the low table next to him, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yinzuo.
"My young master, you got up early today and you are busy traveling. I don't have anything to do right now. How about I spread the quilt over you and let you sleep for a while?"
He didn't get an answer from Dexi, but fortunately, Yinzuo didn't seem to need his answer. He got up early today, and although he wasn't very sleepy at the moment, he thought that instead of thinking about it, he might as well get some sleep. After all, there's nothing that can't be solved by sleeping, right? If there is, then he can get some more sleep.
This was not a big deal. As expected, after waking up, Yinzuo's slight sense of homesickness had all disappeared. The same was true for Yinzhi and his brothers. They were now being taken outside by the guards to ride horses.
When we came here, everything seemed new to us. But when we went back, we saw the same scenery again, but we were not as excited as the first time. So the whole team moved much faster than when we came here. But even though we hurried along the way, the weather had turned cold by the time we returned to the capital.
"Fourth brother, you don't have to see me off. You've been away for so long. I'm sure the Imperial Noble Consort must have missed you too. Who knows how eagerly you'll be waiting for her to come over. You should hurry back to Chengqian Palace. I'm very familiar with the roads to Mother's side, and Dexi is with us."
After a tiring journey, Kangxi was kind enough to give his sons three days off after returning. Since they were back, the first thing for the sons was to visit their mothers. So, except for Crown Prince Yinreng who returned to Yuqing Palace as soon as they got off the car, the others planned to go to their mothers first.
Seeing that Yinzuo looked tired and walked unsteadily, Yinzhen wanted to send him to Yonghe Palace and then back to Chengqian Palace, but it was obvious that Yinzuo did not want to be sent. Firstly, he knew Defei's character. She always turned her nose up and her eyes down at Yinzhen when she saw him. It didn't make sense for him to go to her place to suffer as soon as he came back.
Secondly, he was also afraid that Yinzhen sending him to Yonghe Palace would cause dissatisfaction among the Imperial Noble Consort. After all, Yinzhen was now being raised in Chengqian Palace. Although Yudie had not been changed, he was still the Imperial Noble Consort's son in name. He had been away for more than two months and went to Yonghe Palace first when he came back. What would people think? Yinzuo had seen the Imperial Noble Consort in Chengqian Palace getting along with Yinzhen before. To be honest, compared with Concubine De, she cared much more about her son Yinzhen.
If we say that Yinzuo approached Yinzhen in order to curry favor with him at the beginning, but in the past two months, the two of them have been together almost day and night, and some feelings have developed between them. Besides, Yinzhen has been good to him, and people are all made of flesh and blood, so Yinzuo must have considered him.
"Mother, my son is back. I haven't seen you for a while. Do you miss me?"
Defei had been looking forward to Yinzuo's return since she knew he would come back today. When she heard Yinzuo's voice coming from outside, she immediately stood up and went out of the hall to greet him. As soon as she saw Yinzuo, she pulled him over and hugged him in her arms.
"How could I not miss you? You are the apple of my eye. I have been looking forward to seeing you since the day you left, and now I finally have you back."
In Yonghe Palace, the mother is loving and the son is filial, and in Chengqian Palace, everyone is having fun. Yinzhen had been away for such a long time, and the Imperial Noble Consort naturally missed him. Knowing that her son would be back today, she asked the palace maids to prepare Yinzhen's favorite meals early in the morning. Near dusk, she even asked the nanny to help her wait at the palace gate.
"Mother, why did you come out when you're not feeling well? It's so cold outside, you must be coughing again if you catch a cold."
The Imperial Concubine was naturally happy that her son cared about her health. She let go of the nanny's hand that had been supporting her, walked forward and looked at Yinzhen carefully. Seeing that her son had not lost much weight, she took Yinzhen's hand and walked into the house.
"It's okay. Mother has been in good health recently. It's okay to go out for a walk occasionally. Besides, you've been away for so long, and Mother wants to see you soon..."
That night, most of the harem was filled with the joyful scene of loving mothers and filial children. However, compared to their leisure, Kangxi, who had also traveled a long way, was not so lucky.
