No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Fourteen was riding on his beloved horse, looking radiant. He wanted to roar to the sky and tell everyone that he was out of the cage.

He and Thirteen rode side by side, having fun excitedly in the dust raised by the horses' hooves in front and behind.

He couldn't help but spur his horse forward for a long distance from the side of the official road, and when he was about to catch up with the imperial carriage, he turned back.

After returning, the once gentle Thirteen now had a gloomy look in his eyes and sat on his horse nonchalantly with a stern face.

"Brother Thirteen, stop being so depressed!" He couldn't help it and decided to disturb Thirteen, whose face was pale.

Thirteen still felt uncomfortable, but since they all grew up in the palace, they understood this principle.

Since the emperor brought him out to relax, he should act grateful and happy.

Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives reported this to the emperor, he would really fall out of favor.

He has no mother, but still has two younger sisters. He cannot fall out of favor!

"No, I just didn't sleep well last night," Thirteen pondered for a moment and decided to make an excuse.

Fourteenth of course didn't believe it, but he didn't dwell on it. He whispered, "Just look at Eighty or Ninety not coming. If you can piss yourself off to death in the palace, you should be happy too!"

Thirteen pursed his lips and said nothing, but he felt a little happy in his heart.

He remembered the days before his mother passed away. The weather was hot and the side hall was stuffy and hot.

My mother knew that she didn't have much time left, so she wanted to eat something cold.

However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that edible ice was no longer allowed, and that concubines below the rank of concubine were not entitled to any share.

Thirteen said angrily, there were some in previous years, why can't they be there this year?

But it was no use, he couldn't even buy it with money.

If Empress Defei had not given my mother a bowl of iced taro balls later, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to eat a single bite before she died.

Myna, this is his good myna!

Thirteen curled the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but say, "Serves you right!"

Fourteen also covered his mouth and said, "I heard that we didn't bring him this time because he did things in an unethical way."

The empress, princes and princesses in the palace are all his relatives, but he even disregarded his relatives in order to protect a few servants.

Still want to go out and play?

dream!

"How can this be considered a punishment? Doesn't the Emperor still like him?" Thirteen tightened his grip on the reins. "I heard his mother will be given a concubine title."

His mother gave birth to three children in her lifetime, but she was only a concubine and was only posthumously given a title after her death.

However, Liang Guiren was able to be promoted to concubine just because she had a son, and might even be promoted to imperial consort while she was still alive.

Her background is much worse than my mother's.

Didn’t she give birth to a good son?

Mother is more valuable than son!

Seeing his face full of anger and self-blame, Fourteenth Brain quickly said, "That's nothing~"

Thirteen's mood was still not very good, and he was immersed in his useless self-blame.

Fourteen is not a sensitive person, but he can also feel his silence and doesn't know how to change the subject.

Then he remembered that the Fourth Master said that he brought his concubine with him to the frontier this time.

The top of his head seemed to light up, and he suggested: "Let's go, let's go, Xiao Si's wife is here too, let's go and ask for something delicious."

He now accepted that Lin Mingyan was the best at enjoying life. After all, she could cause the Fourth Master to get stabbed just by eating a taro ball.

Lin Mingyan: ...??? It's so unfair!

When the Fourth Master came over, he saw Thirteen and Fourteen gathered around the carriage.

He helplessly looked at the carriage again - it was from his house, right?

"Why are you here?" he asked, holding the whip tightly.

Fourteen had half an egg-filled pancake in his mouth. His mouth was occupied, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

Thirteen put down the cake in his hand and greeted him: "Fourth brother, little fourth sister-in-law gave us some cake."

Very fragrant and delicious.

The Fourth Master took a look and saw that it was a kind of pasta that Cha Cha had asked the kitchen to make these days. It was very chewy.

Lin Mingyan heard the Fourth Master's voice in the carriage and leaned out to ask, "Fourth Master, are you hungry? The cakes are still warm."

The Fourth Master reached out and took one, then instructed, "We'll set up camp and rest when we get to the front."

"You can ask me to boil some hot water for you and cook something for yourself. The main kitchen may not be able to take care of you."

"Don't set off when the time comes, and you haven't eaten yet."

Lin Mingyan covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said, "I see. I'm not very hungry either."

They had to set up camp and rest at noon. She was not hungry, but the important thing was to be able to come down and relax and have some water.

This was the only downside to the ancient times: the means of transportation were too backward, and her butt hurt from sitting in the carriage.

Moreover, the main people on this trip must be Emperor Kangxi and his concubines. Others, such as her, the concubine of the Fourth Prince, are really not worth mentioning.

If she hadn't been well prepared and had to rely on herself for food, clothing, housing and transportation, it would have been really difficult.

Lin Mingyan was drinking a bowl of noodles. The Fourth Master and others had gone to Emperor Kangxi to show their filial piety, and they had disappeared without a trace.

She stretched her head and looked ahead. She saw a long line that seemed to have no end, with people and horses gathered in groups.

Su He brought a bucket of water and came over quickly. The water boiled and became their drinking water for the afternoon.

Lin Mingyan watched him boil the water, then asked, "Are there many people fetching water?"

The resting place was dusty, messy and noisy, which gave people a headache.

If you go to the pond and rest for a while, you will feel much more comfortable.

Su He said: "There aren't many people fetching water, but there are not only people from our team, but also some civilians. It's a bit of a mixed crowd."

Boiling water was also requested by Master Niuhulu; no one else had this idea.

If you are thirsty on the road, you can just find a stream to drink. Who would boil water just to drink when you take a break?

Therefore, there were not many people drawing water from the small pond, and most of them were ordinary people passing by.

Lin Mingyan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Then I'll go over and wash my face. You lead the way."

When the Fourth Master is not around, she is the boss, especially Linglan and Suhe. How dare they go against her wishes?

Besides, it’s just a small pond, and with the guards following us, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

Su He called to the guards: "The master is going to the pond, you go there first to clean it out, and those with problems should be cleared away first."

Lin Mingyan didn't think it was wrong after hearing this. The most important thing when going out is safety.

The small pond is not far from the official road. You can reach it by leaving the official road, crossing a small path and entering the woods.

The weather in July is so hot that the sun makes people feel weak.

When I got to the shade of the grove, I felt much more refreshed.

After walking a few steps forward, I heard the sound of flowing water, followed by a burst of water vapor blowing in my face, bringing a bit of coolness.

"There is also a small waterfall," Lin Mingyan walked around a big tree and saw the small pool under the waterfall.

The water in the pond was a little green, and the guards had cleared out a small area, making it clean and tidy.

However, they did not drive away all the passers-by. After all, these people were also very hot. If they did so, it would be too overbearing and would cause trouble for the Fourth Master.
