"That's natural."
Before leaving, she visited the Shen family.
"What brings you here, Brother You?"
Since Youqing explicitly refused the idea of marriage, Shen Jia'an still addresses Youqing as "Little Brother You".
"I've come today to say goodbye to Lord Shen."
"Oh, is Young Master You going on a long trip?"
Youqing nodded: "Yes, I'll go to the capital to take a look. I probably won't be able to come back often. In the future, I'll have to trouble Lord Shen to take good care of Wutong Garden, Peach Blossom Village, and those shops. If there's anything wrong, Lord Shen can write to me. If Wutong Garden does anything it shouldn't do, Lord Shen doesn't have to tolerate it for my sake."
Youqing was also afraid that her departure would foster a sense of entitlement and that her people would be bullied, so she specifically said these things.
Shen Jia'an thought that she was a very thoughtful person who had considered everything.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Wutong Huayuan, Taohua Village, and those shops for you."
"Then thank you very much, Lord Shen."
"You've helped me a lot; this is nothing."
"I should still thank him." She wasn't helping Shen Jia'an out of kindness. Shen Jia'an was a good official who cared about the people, so helping him was helping the people. Besides, there was also her own selfish motive: helping him was also to ensure her own business could run smoothly.

With everything arranged, Youqing prepared to return to the capital with Emperor Kangxi.
Everything is arranged and ready; we can set off now.

Youqing's carriage was knocked on, and then Liang Jiugong's voice came: "Your Majesty, His Majesty's carriage is broken and there is no time to repair it. His Majesty sent me to ask if Your Majesty can ride in the same carriage with you."
The carriage broke down?
Was the emperor's carriage broken down?
Youqing had her doubts, but she didn't refuse, as getting on the road was the priority.
"Okay, but please don't call me 'Your Majesty' anymore."
Consort Shu is already dead. This title represents the past, and it must be the past. So there's no need to call her "Your Majesty" anymore.
Liang Jiugong left without saying a word.
Emperor Kangxi arrived shortly afterward.
Thus, Kangxi boarded Youqing's carriage with remarkable ease.
As soon as he boarded the carriage, Youqing gave him a playful smile and stared at him: "Is His Majesty's carriage broken?"
