Yinzhen gave a soothing smile, then put his hands under the boy's arms and lifted him into his arms.

Honghui, who was crying so hard that snot bubbles came out of his nose, left his mother's arms. He paused for a second, and after meeting Yinzhen's eyes, he grinned again.

This time the crying was louder, faintly drowning out Ling Jiao's crying.

Even Xiao Lingjiao, who was nestling in Xiyu's arms, stopped and looked at why her brother was crying so sadly.

Yinzhen held Honghui in his arms and walked around rocking him a few times, but he soon found that this trick was useless.

Looking at the milk ball's open mouth, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

When he thought of it, he did it.

So the next moment, Honghui's crying changed its tone.

From "Woo woo woo~~" it changed to "Woo~wa~~Woo~wa~~Woo~wa~~", Yinzhen's palms gently patted Honghui's grown mouth.

Honghui was so stunned by his own crying.

He didn't understand why the voice became like that. He stared blankly with his big dark eyes blinking, and then began to cry tentatively again.

Yinzhen put his hands up again, and the tone of his crying changed again.

This went on and on, and finally the two little balls started playing by themselves, patting each other.

Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly vowed to herself that she would never forget such an important thing again.

At breakfast, Sarina came up to eat and found two chubby little balls. She immediately started playing with them.

The little kitten Zhaocai is playing with a ball of wool.

The scene was unexpectedly harmonious.

…………

A few days later, Kangxi set a time to go to Mongolia.

The Khorchin tribe of Mongolia was the Queen Mother's hometown, so naturally she wanted to go there while she was still in good health.

As for the concubines in the harem, Kangxi brought Concubine De, Concubine Rong, Concubine Yu and others.

The princes can also go with their families, and the crown prince will still be the regent. However, Prince Cheng, whose wife is about to give birth, has been left behind to serve as supervisor.

Xiyu felt sorry that the Third Lady could not go with them, but she took some time to visit her and found that she was in good health and that the baby would be delivered smoothly if there were no accidents.

If there was an accident... She didn't want this possibility to happen, but she still left something to save her life for the Third Lady.

The departure time was approaching, and Xiyu started asking people to pack up early.

This time is different.

Not only did she have to go along, but she also had to bring two children under a year old, so naturally she had to bring twice as many things.

Those who were preparing to travel to Mongolia were busy packing their things. The Yonghe Palace was particularly busy. Not only did they have to pack their things for the journey, they also had to pack Xiaoqi's dowry.

In the blink of an eye, the day of departure arrived.

Kangxi's carriage was in the front, surrounded by a group of guards who were protecting him.

The Queen Mother followed closely behind, then several concubines, and the young princes followed their mother in the same carriage.

Further back were the carriages of the princes and their wives.

The entourage was headed by the First Concubine, while the Crown Princess and the Third Concubine stayed in the capital, so Xiyu's carriage was second, followed by the Fifth Concubine, the Seventh Concubine, the Eighth Concubine, and the Ninth Concubine.

The carriages of the remaining princes followed behind, and several teams of guards followed behind to protect their safety.

Inside Xiyu's carriage, the twins seemed particularly excited. They sat on the wide seats of the carriage, peeking out through the curtains and occasionally speaking baby language to each other.

In fact, it's not just them, Xiyu is the same.

It was also the first time for her to see the scenery along the way north. Yinzhen was leading the team outside on horseback, and she was somewhat bored staying in the carriage.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Yun Ran and Sarina opened the door and got in from outside.

Sarina sat directly next to the twins and joined them, while Yun Ran sat with Xiyu. He looked tired and seemed like he had not rested well.

"Insomnia?"

Seeing her nod, Xiyu understood the reason for her insomnia almost in one breath.

Yun Ran looked out through the crack of another window with a melancholy look on her face. "I heard from my mother that the emperor hasn't decided whether to let me stay in the capital or marry to Khorchin, Mongolia."

"In fact, if you told me directly that this trip to Mongolia was just to get me married, I might feel at ease. Now, I always hold on to a glimmer of hope..."

Although she knew from a young age that most princesses of the Qing Dynasty would marry far away in Mongolia, she was willing to do so for the people of the Qing Dynasty.

But if she had the opportunity to stay in the capital and contribute to the military power of the Qing Dynasty, how could she not want to achieve the best of both worlds?

"From what your fourth brother said, your chances of returning to Beijing are quite high."

She took Yun Ran's hand back from the window, and then held the cold knuckles in her palm, "Don't worry, the Royal Madam, Mother, and we are all here, and we will do our best to facilitate your marriage with Gorlos Sukhbaru."

When Sukhbaru's name was mentioned, Yun Ran's cheeks couldn't help but turn red. After a moment, his face turned pale as if he remembered something, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"I heard people say that he was unkempt and rough, like a savage."

As if she was afraid that Xiyu didn't understand her thoughts, she paused and added, "I don't like people who are dirty and greasy and who speak without restraint. I like the kind of handsome men described in the storybooks, who are gentle, considerate, loyal, and most importantly, good-looking."

After saying this, Yun Ran lowered her head in shame.

The girl's little thoughts could not be hidden at all at this moment.

Indeed, when a girl doesn’t have someone she likes, she will preset a perfect image in her mind.

Xi Yu gave her an approving smile, but still told her a little bit of her own thoughts, "The image described by others will be somewhat biased. Don't understand others from their mouths, but feel them with your heart."

Thinking back to the beginning, she had heard people say that Yinzhen was a moody, even gloomy and vindictive person, and she had been worried about this for a long time.

but now……

She opened her eyes and looked at the tall figure at the corner of the team. She was rarely grateful to the Monster Management Bureau and the little snake spirit for forcing her to have the opportunity and courage to contact Yinzhen and get to know him.

“Ah~Poof~”

His attention was drawn back to the tender baby voice. Ling Jiao was crawling on the couch and nibbling on Honghui's toes. Honghui frowned and tried with a little effort to pull his foot back, but failed.

Lingjiao ground her white and tender little teeth a few times, then spat them out in disgust.

Saliva flowed down their chins, and Qiu Xu stood by, holding a handkerchief in his hand and wiping it from time to time.

She has a considerate husband and now two lovely children. She lives a rich and energetic life, has her own career, and can do something for the people. It seems that there is nothing unsatisfactory about her.

But suddenly, the seven words "risk your life to survive" appeared in her mind, like a bomb with an unknown fuse that might explode at any time.

"Fourth sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Yun Ran pulled her sleeve worriedly. It seemed like her story had brought up Fourth Sister-in-law's sad memories.

Xi Yu collected her chaotic thoughts and curled her lips, "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired after traveling for too long."
