Chapter 161 Set off!
Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, who were still in the palace, hurriedly went to ask the emperor for permission to leave the palace after learning the news that they were going to Mongolia.
During the few days when Ertai Erkang was very busy, Song Qing, Xu Tian, Xiaoyanzi and others prepared many things that would be needed on the road.
Based on the experience of his last southern tour, Benjamin also prepared a lot of ointments for bruises and injuries in case of emergency.
Ten days later, everyone once again stood on the palace road where they set out on the southern tour.
After saying a few words to the emperor, the old Buddha took Song Qing's hand and said, "It has been a short time since you got married. You and Ertai should treat this trip to the frontier as a trip to have fun and relax."
"Yes, I know, Your Majesty. You should take care of your health in the palace. I will wait for Qing'er to come back and bring you Mongolian specialties." Song Qing replied with a smile.
"Okay, okay." The old lady smiled and chatted with Song Qing for a few more words.
Guan Bao and his wife also came to see Xu Tian and Benjamin off, of course, Benjamin was an extra.
"Your wedding is coming soon, so it's better for you to come back if you can, understand?" Fu Jin really had no other way to deal with her daughters, so she at least hoped that they could come back before the wedding.
"Okay, mother. Don't worry." Xu Tian answered very halfheartedly. Whether she could come back in time was not something she could decide.
Fu Jin didn't expect her daughter to be sincere. After listening, she looked at Benjamin and said, "I'll trouble you, Mr. Ben, to take good care of our Xinrong along the way."
"Taking care of Xinrong is my duty. Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely take good care of Xinrong." Upon hearing what his mother-in-law said, Benjamin quickly straightened his back to make his attitude clear.
Concubine Yu looked at her son and daughter-in-law and said with a smile: "You two must be careful on the road, especially Yongqi, you must not let Xiaoyanzi get hurt."
When he heard the first half of the sentence, Yongqi thought that his mother finally remembered to care about him after such a long time, but the next sentence broke his heart. He was just a tool.
Seeing that her son did not respond, Concubine Yu ignored him and continued to instruct Xiaoyanzi: "This journey will definitely not be as leisurely as the southern tour. If you are tired of riding in a carriage, you can also ask Yongqi to take you on horseback while you enjoy the scenery. When you arrive in Mongolia, remember to write a letter to your mother and ask the person who is responsible for delivering the memorial to the emperor to bring it back, okay!"
"Yes, don't worry, mother! Yongqi and I will remember to write back. You should also take care of yourself in the palace and wait for us to come back." Xiaoyanzi likes Concubine Yu very much now. She never dreamed that she and Concubine Yu could become such a good pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It's just that Yongqi is suffering.
Zhihua, who was standing by, also exchanged greetings with her family for a while, and then followed Xiao Jian towards the carriage.
Originally, the emperor had forgotten about Xiao Jian this time, but later, when Xiao Jian learned that Zhihua was also going to Mongolia, he quickly asked the emperor for permission to go with them.
As a member of the team with high combat power, the emperor readily agreed.
Moreover, the emperor also remembered that he had already granted marriage to Xiao Jian and Zhi Hua. He couldn't bear to let the young lovers not see each other for several months!
So, even for the sake of his love for the matchmaker, he had to let Xiao Jian go with him.
"The journey may be a bit bumpy. Ertai and I have prepared a lot of cushions and placed them in the carriage so you can sit more comfortably." Xiao Jian said to Zhihua.
"You are so thoughtful. You have made such comprehensive preparations." Zhihua felt warm in her heart after hearing Xiao Jian's words.
"This time you, Xinrong and Ziwei will ride in the same carriage with the emperor. If you feel uncomfortable, come out and I will ride you on horseback. I also brought a docile horse that suits you. If you want to ride it yourself, you can try it." Xiao Jian told Zhihua everything he had prepared, for fear that Zhihua would be bored staying in the carriage.
"Okay, then you have to teach me well. I really know nothing about horse riding." Although Zhihua is a Manchu, she has always been in the boudoir and has never learned riding and archery. Now that she has the opportunity to try it, she is naturally happy.
After the Emperor, Empress Dowager Cixi, and other concubines finished talking, they got on the carriage first. Zhihua followed Ziwei and Xu Tian into the carriage.
Song Qing, Xiaoyanzi and Saiya were sitting in another carriage together. They were part of the play group.
When the team was ready, they set off.
