Chapter 852: Startling Heart Mingyu 64
"What is this for? Is my Mingyu going to move the entire palace to the outside of the Great Wall?" Kangxi joked.
When Mingyu saw Kangxi coming, she hurried forward and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty only knows how to make fun of me! This is not my first time going to the frontier, and I don't know what to bring with me, so I thought of bringing more so that I won't be unable to find it when I need it."
Kangxi smiled and held her in his arms, stroking her hair lovingly: "Silly girl, the frontier is not a barren land. If you need anything, just tell me. Why do you have to carry so many things and tire yourself out?"
Mingyu leaned in his arms and said coquettishly, "I am afraid of embarrassing the emperor. If something is missing, people will laugh at the emperor for not being able to take care of his own concubine."
Kangxi laughed out loud at her words and scratched her nose: "My Mingyu is getting better and better at talking. How could I let you suffer any injustice?"
Mingyu suddenly cried out "Ouch!", covered her forehead with her hands, and frowned.
Kangxi was discussing with her the interesting things about hunting outside the Great Wall with great interest. Seeing her like this, he asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mingyu bit her lower lip, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. After a long while, she stammered, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty seems to have forgotten something important..."
Kangxi saw that she looked strange, and his heart skipped a beat. He asked nervously, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
Mingyu raised her head, her big watery eyes full of confusion: "What should we do with Yinzhen and the others? How long have they been born?"
Kangxi looked down at the worried little face in his arms, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing, but his tone couldn't help but be a little reproachful: "The siege outside the Great Wall has only been a few days, how could I leave two little guys unattended?"
Mingyu raised her eyes, her deer-like eyes full of helplessness and apology, as if she was frightened by Kangxi's complaints, but then she said stubbornly: "Your Majesty only knows how to tease me, but I am really worried... They are still so young, and they can't live without their father and mother, what if..."
Before she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, instantly hurting Kangxi's heart. He sighed softly, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes, and his tone was no longer teasing like before, but a little warmer: "Okay, okay, don't think too much. I have already ordered people to select the most capable wet nurses and palace maids to take care of their daily life and diet."
Kangxi smiled slightly, pinched Mingyu's little face lovingly, and whispered to comfort her: "Okay, Mingyu, stop frowning. If you really can't bear to leave those two little guys, I'll take them with me, how about that?"
Mingyu was startled by this sentence. He raised his head, his clear eyes filled with disbelief, but also with hesitation: "Your Majesty, is this...appropriate? They are still so young, if something goes wrong on the way..."
Kangxi looked at Mingyu's tangled expression, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes. He reached out and gently tidied up a strand of hair hanging down from her temples: "Mingyu, don't you know me yet? I never do things without preparation. How could I not make proper arrangements for my children?"
A few days later, the team left the capital in a mighty manner.
He lifted a corner of the car curtain and secretly looked at the scene outside.
The grassland was vast and boundless, with cattle and sheep visible in the wind blowing the grass low, which was completely different from the high walls and deep courtyards of the capital. She was like a curious little bird, exclaiming from time to time: "Your Majesty, look at the flock of sheep over there, they are so cute!"
Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand, followed Mingyu's gaze, and smiled dotingly: "Do you like it? When the time comes, I will personally choose a lamb for you."
Mingyu's eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky: "Really? Then I will pick the most beautiful lamb!"
Kangxi chuckled and took her into his arms: "Whatever my Mingyu wants, I will satisfy you."
Yinreng was wearing moon-white riding clothes and riding a horse on the right side of the carriage.
His face was normal, his eyes were looking forward, one hand firmly holding the reins, the other hand behind his back. But what no one knew was that the familiar and gentle voice in his ear made his heart fluctuate like the tide.
"Your Majesty, this breeze feels so comfortable! I feel as if my skin has been refreshed!"
"Oh, Mingyu, you really know how to enjoy yourself. If I don't bring you out, will you be in a bad mood again?" Kangxi said in a teasing tone from the car.
"No way! How dare I lose my temper with the Emperor...I just get careless sometimes." Mingyu's voice was sweet and naive with a hint of coquettishness, like a spring breeze, making people feel itchy.
Yinreng's face tensed up for a moment, but soon regained its composure. His knuckles turned pale, as if the hand holding the reins was trying its best to suppress some emotions. He tried hard not to listen, and even forced himself to shift his attention to the scenery in front of him, but his ears seemed to have their own will, firmly catching every word of the conversation in the carriage.
Yinreng rode forward all the time, his eyes never moving away from the front, but the laughter in his ears kept coming like waves, crashing into his heart every time without any explanation.
The depression in his chest grew heavier, but he could only bury those complicated emotions deep down. Although he seemed calm, his knuckles had actually turned white.
Kangxi was watching with Mingyu with great interest, and when he looked up, he saw Yinreng riding alone on the side, his face as cold as usual. His heart moved slightly, he knew that Yinreng was always calm, but today he was so calm that he vaguely sensed something unusual.
Kangxi got off the carriage, took Mingyu's hand, and led her to walk slowly along the path of the grassland. The two talked and laughed while enjoying the scenery. The pastoral songs in the distance were heard in the wind, which actually added a sense of otherworldliness.
Yinreng was still riding on his horse, maintaining the posture of a royal prince, but his eyes hidden in the shadows inadvertently fell on the two figures in front of him.
The wind blew across the grassland, and Mingyu's laughter sounded as clear as a silver bell. The gentle tone of Kangxi's occasional teasing words to her was like an invisible sharp blade, piercing into Yinreng's heart.
Yinreng suddenly tightened the reins and galloped towards the hillside not far away. He could no longer bear such torture, and with strong emotions surging in his chest, he needed a quiet place to calm down.
However, before they had gone far, they suddenly heard a woman's scream. Yinreng's heart tightened, and he immediately reined in his horse and looked back. It turned out that Mingyu had tripped over a stone in the bushes and nearly fell to the ground. Kangxi was quick to grab Mingyu's waist and hold her steady.
