"But!" Kangxi suddenly looked abrupt, "You have to promise me one thing!"

"On this trip to the north, you have to stay by my side honestly and never leave!" Kangxi said with a straight face.

Zhao Yan nodded quickly, that's natural, it's not fun to go out this time!

Before the northern tour, Zhao Yan coaxed Xiao Yu'er and personally sent her to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace. There are Wei'er and Yinzhen in the palace, and they will take care of their younger brother, but Xiao Yu'er has never left her since she was born, don't look at the obedient willingness to come to Cining Palace now, and I don't know if she will cry after she leaves?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan stroked Yu'er's face and said, "You have to obediently listen to Huang Mama's words, E-Niang will be back soon." ”

"Hmm!" nodded her little head like a baby.

The Queen Mother held Zhao Yan's hand with her old and withered hand and patted it lightly, "That's fine, with you serving the emperor, the mourning family can also feel a little more at ease." ”

It seems that the Queen Mother is also a person who knows the inside story!

"Please rest assured, the concubines and the emperor will definitely return safely. ”

Everything was arranged, Kangxi drove from the Changchun Garden Palace, with the imperial concubine Guerjia, the crown prince Yinren, the direct prince Yinzhen, the Lianjun Wang Yinzhen, the fourth Belle Yinzhen, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, and the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen.

The royal drive north patrols the border stopper, the emperor's book is mighty, Luan Yiwei is in front of the imperial staff, my staff opens the way, the five-color dragon flag, the five-color dragon is hunting with the wind, the nine dragon crank yellow canopy is held high in front of the emperor's ceremonial opinion, and there are ten saber ministers on the side, all of whom are cronies. Behind the book, there are half of the soldiers and horses of the cavalry battalion, more than 1,000 cavalry, all of whom are elite.

After such elites, it is the prince's guard of honor, led by the ministers of scattered ranks, the dragon umbrella, the golden festival is held high, and the golden dragon flag and peacock instrument fan are surrounded, although it is not comparable to the emperor's halo book, it is also quite impressive.

And Zhao Yan, the imperial concubine's guard of honor, is still after the prince, there are golden phoenix flags, red phoenix flags, red phoenix fans, black phoenix fans, three-color fans, the most conspicuous is the seven phoenix golden crank cover, held high on the side of the ceremonial car, just lift the curtain, you can see.

It's a pity that Zhao Yan has never enjoyed her own instrument car since she was in Beijing, and she has always stayed in Kangxi's halogen instrument car.

The imperial chariot, generally known as the "jade chariot", is a proprietary word for the imperial chariot.

Although the emperor's jade chariot does not dare to say that it is paved with gold and jade, it is also extremely spacious and luxurious, not only that, but the manufacturing process is also extraordinary, even if it is walking on the bumpy road, the jade chariot is like walking on the ground, safe as the mountains, and the tea in the cup does not shake. In short, the comfort is quite strong.

The only drawback is that the jade chariot walks slowly, traveling less than 100 miles a day.

Therefore, this northern tour, just walking has to spend more than half a month, well, the same was true of Mulan Qiumi in the past.

Zhao Yan sat on the glass couch of the jade chariot, holding a hot milk tea and drinking it in a small sip, while Kangxi was immersed in reading and reviewing the folds, all of which were sent from 600 miles in Beijing.

Therefore, the jade chariot was extremely quiet, only the sound of the rustling of the pen was heard, and Zhao Yan rarely spoke, only stepped forward from time to time to polish the ink for him.

It was so peaceful all the way.

The prince didn't make any movement along the way, he didn't stop every morning and dusk, and he was close to the rest of the brothers who accompanied him, but Prince Yinchusu had a bad relationship with the prince, but he rarely paid attention to it. On the contrary, every time the prince invites him, he will never shirk it.

Half a month later, I finally arrived in Chengde.

After a long journey, I can finally rest for a few days in the Chengde Palace. The soldiers and horses of the accompanying cavalry battalion are also sleepy and need to be repaired for a few days.

After arriving in Chengde, it was natural to sacrifice to Zhaoling, that is, the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong Taiji and Empress Xiaoduanwen, but Kangxi claimed that he was sick and ordered the prince to sacrifice on his behalf.

"Your Majesty, the prince asked for an order, saying that he wanted the thirteenth elder brother to help. Li Dequan was outside the curtain, hunched over and asked for instructions.

Zhao Yan frowned, what does it mean for the prince to ask a bald brother to follow him?

Kangxi didn't raise his eyelids, and only spit out one word in his mouth: "Quasi!"

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What does the prince want to do?"

Kangxi smiled slightly: "I just give him a chance to do what he wants to do!"

Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, "That'...... What's next?"

Kangxi said lightly: "Prepare, and in three days, we will set off for Monan Mongolia to inspect." ”

Zhao Yan was stunned: "Don't wait for the prince to come back?" Although Zhaoling is not far from Chengde, it is not possible to come back in two or three days.

"Don't worry, he'll catch up soon. There was a cold silence in the depths of Kangxi's eyes.

Zhao Yan bit her lip: "Xuan Ye, what do you want to do?"

Kangxi smiled, clinging to Zhao Yan's hand and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

It's this sentence again, and along the way, Kangxi didn't tell her anything substantial! Zhao Yan only knew that Kangxi was arranging, but she didn't know what kind of situation he was arranging! Kangxi said that he would give the prince a chance and let him do what he wanted to do! Is it possible, the prince still dares to rebel? !

Full of doubts, Zhao Yan set off again with Kangxi.

All the way north, soon arrived at the border of Monan, and further on, there was the Xilin Gol grassland. The Xilingol grassland is the second largest grassland in Mongolia after the Horqin grassland, where water and grass are abundant, and there are five tribes stationed here, the largest of which is the Bahrain Department.

Zhao Yan remembered that Concubine Rong's daughter and Princess Shuo Rongxian married into the Bahrain Ministry, and she and her husband Urgon were quite affectionate, and they were a very good mix among many Fumeng princesses. Mainly because Urgon was raised by his grandmother Gulun Shuhui since he was a child, but this eldest princess is the daughter of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

As a result, the Bahraini tribe was one of the most successful tribes to be assimilated by royal blood.

Zhao Yan originally thought that Kangxi was going to inspect the Bahrain Department, but she didn't expect the royal car to stop when she walked to the edge of the Xilin Gol grassland and stationed here.

"Aren't you leaving?" Zhao Yan looked at the sunset outside that had not yet set, and this son set up camp and set up tents, which was inevitably early.

Kangxi said lightly: "Just stay here for a few days." ”

Zhao Yan looked suspicious, there is no shop in front of the village here, and it is not a good place to station.

Kangxi looked around and said, "The terrain here is good. ”

Yes, close to the prairie, the terrain here is extremely flat, but there is a hillside here, stationed on the hillside, with an endless view, and the surrounding situation can be described as a panoramic view. From the perspective of soldiers, it can be said that the geographical advantage is excellent.

Could it be that Kangxi is planning to ...... Zhao Yan's heart trembled.

The prince went to worship Zhaoling, and it stands to reason that he should have caught up a long time ago.

I'm afraid that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
