Faced with such a playful gaze, Kangxi was momentarily stunned and felt somewhat embarrassed.
However, he was thick-skinned and calmly nodded, saying, "Yes, the carriage broke down. It's also the fault of the servants who were in charge of the carriage. I will definitely punish them severely when we return to the capital."
Emperor Kangxi thought to himself: I must reward him handsomely after we return to the capital.
Youqing: ...
Life on the wagon was naturally not very comfortable. Sometimes they couldn't reach towns at night and had to sleep in the open.
"Your Majesty, it seems we'll be staying out all night."
"Yes, I understand."
Inside the carriage were only Kangxi and Youqing. Along the way, they passed through small towns. Kangxi's carriage should have been repaired, but it remained unrepaired for a long time due to various accidents.
"We'll be staying out tonight, which will be a bit tiring."
"It's okay, I've stayed out quite a lot of times."
Kangxi felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this, but swallowed back the words of concern that were on the tip of his tongue, for he had no right to say such things now.
That night, the tents were set up, but this time there weren't enough tents. The person in charge of leading the tents had left behind several tents. Originally, Youqing and Kangxi should have each had their own tent, but given the current situation, Kangxi couldn't stay with the people below.
At this moment, Liang Jiugong said to Youqing, "Your Majesty, it was my oversight about the tent. Why don't you sleep in the same tent as His Majesty tonight?"
Even so, there might not be enough tents. This time, it wasn't that the damage to the carriage was intentional; we genuinely didn't bring enough tents.
Youqing thought to herself that she did have tents on her farm, but she couldn't take them out.
With dozens of people following along, being able to free up a tent would indeed allow more people to get a good rest.
But sharing a tent with Emperor Kangxi? That doesn't seem appropriate!
This is a bit like breaking up with your boyfriend but still being entangled and sleeping in the same room. Is that reasonable?
That's unreasonable!
At this moment, Kangxi spoke up: "The tent is large enough for two people to rest in."
Seeing that so many people had nowhere to sleep, Youqing had no choice but to agree.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. For the first time, he thought those forgetful servants were quite good and deserved to be rewarded. Also, Liang Jiugong had become increasingly clever recently and should be rewarded as well.
There was only one bed prepared in the tent. Youqing and Kangxi had done even more intimate things, so sleeping in the same bed was no big deal, Youqing comforted herself.
Having prepared herself mentally, Youqing remained calm and composed, while Kangxi gradually became uneasy, his face showing some excitement, like a young man about to enter the bridal chamber for the first time.
After washing up, Youqing lay down on the bed. Although there was only one bed, it was enough for two people to sleep in. Even when traveling, Emperor Kangxi slept on a very large wooden plank bed.
There were two quilts. Youqing slept on the right side of the bed. When Kangxi came in, he saw Youqing breathing evenly.
Is it asleep?
Kangxi began to walk on tiptoe, trying not to make a sound, for fear of disturbing her.
Then Kangxi lay down next to Youqing.
In the past, Kangxi could do whatever he wanted, and Youqing dared not say anything against it. Now, however, Kangxi is restrained in everything he does, for fear of upsetting her.
Although Emperor Kangxi longed to hold her in his arms and cherish her, he lacked the courage to do so.
For an emperor to reach such a level is quite humble.
Actually, Youqing wasn't asleep. She was just in the same bed as Kangxi and didn't know how to get along with him. It was okay before, but now it was rather awkward.
Youqing closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep. After Youqing fell asleep, Kangxi noticed that her breathing had changed, so he kicked his blanket aside and slowly got into Youqing's bed.
Unfortunately, Youqing had a habit of sleeping with a pillow in her arms. Since they were on the road, there was no pillow to hug, which wasn't unbearable. But then Kangxi came over, and Youqing took the opportunity to give him a bear hug, holding him tightly.
Kangxi pulled the person closer to his arms, the two of them like conjoined twins, before he closed his eyes and went to sleep, satisfied.
The next day, Kangxi woke up first. The baby in his arms was still sleeping. Kangxi got up carefully and didn't let anyone come in to serve him, for fear of disturbing her rest.
It was another very humble day.
Not long after Kangxi got up, Youqing also woke up, unaware that she had slept in Kangxi's arms.
"woke up?"
Youqing nodded dazedly and hummed in agreement.
"I will have someone come in to help you wash up."
Youqing refused, saying, "No need, I can do it myself."
After leaving the palace, she got used to living alone and now she really doesn't like being surrounded by people when she gets up.
"Okay, we'll have breakfast after you've washed up."
After breakfast, we set off again.
As night fell, unfortunately, they still couldn't reach a town.
The group had no choice but to continue camping in the wild, and Youqing remained with Kangxi.
As night deepened and almost everyone went to sleep, Kangxi, embracing his beloved, couldn't fall asleep.
He could hold back last night, but today he just couldn't resist. He had his beloved in his arms, but he couldn't touch her. He was so frustrated!
There's no way to take a cold shower in this desolate place.
Just as Kangxi was feeling unbearably hot, some noises suddenly came from outside. Kangxi frowned. What was going on? Was there no one guarding outside?
Kangxi sensed something was wrong, immediately got up, walked to the tent entrance and looked out, only to see a group of people carrying knives approaching.
Did we run into bandits?
