Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Feng Xi was already seven months pregnant. Kangxi decided to go hunting outside the Great Wall, but initially he had no intention of taking Fourteenth Prince with him. However, Fourteenth Prince said that this was a rare opportunity to travel and hoped to take Feng Xi along. Kangxi was hesitant. After all, Feng Xi was already seven months pregnant, and the baby was due in two months. A long journey was not suitable for her. Just as he was worrying about this, Feng Xi avoided Fourteenth Prince and entered the palace.

In the Yangxin Palace, Kangxi frowned and said to Feng Xi, "Old Fourteen's family, you and Fourteenth shouldn't go this time. Wait until the next opportunity to go!"

Feng Xi looked at Kangxi firmly and said, "Your Majesty, I hope to accompany you on this diplomatic mission to Mongolia. I want to personally see the cattle, sheep, and horses there and see if it's possible to transform them into other goods to increase economic efficiency. This will not only promote trade between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty, but also strengthen their loyalty to our Qing Dynasty. I have heard that wool can be woven into warm and soft blankets and sweaters, which are excellent for keeping warm. In addition, their various animal milk products can be made into delicious cheese, yogurt, and convenient dry milk powder. However, I need to observe these with my own eyes to confirm whether they are feasible."

After hearing Feng Xi's words, Kangxi immediately recognized the significance of this diplomatic mission for the Qing Dynasty. Knowing Feng Xi's intelligence and creativity, he believed she would be able to identify further business opportunities and development prospects. Without hesitation, Kangxi ordered the Imperial Medical Bureau to select a physician specializing in gynecology to accompany the mission, just in case. He also arranged for eight experienced midwives and four wet nurses to accompany Feng Xi on her journey, ensuring she received the best possible care.

Kangxi also specifically instructed the Imperial Household Department to meticulously construct a custom-made carriage for Feng Xi's use. This carriage had to be comfortable and convenient to handle any possible situations. This way, even if she encountered an accident or felt unwell on the road, Feng Xi would have a quiet and comfortable place to rest and recuperate.

Kangxi was filled with anticipation, confident that this mission to Mongolia would be a success. He hoped that Feng Xi's efforts and wisdom would bring further prosperity and development to the Qing Dynasty. He also hoped that Feng Xi would demonstrate the Qing Dynasty's profound heritage during her trip to Mongolia, earning the respect and affection of the Mongolian people. Thus, the news that the Fourteenth Prince and his wife were traveling together spread throughout the imperial court and harem, shocking everyone. Upon hearing the news, Concubine De hurriedly summoned them to Yongshou Palace.

After entering the palace, Feng Xi asked all the servants to leave, and then began to comfort her: "Mother, I was the one who asked the Emperor to take us with him!"

After hearing this, Concubine De said angrily, "Are you crazy? Girl, your belly is already seven months pregnant. What if something unexpected happens?"

Feng Xi smiled and comforted her, "Mother, think about it, if the Crown Prince ascends the throne, what will be the fate of Yin Zhen?"

After a moment's reflection, Concubine De replied, "The Crown Prince has a gentle personality. If he ascends the throne, he will probably treat all the princes well. But if it's the others, it's hard to say..."

Feng Xi then asked, "What if Fourth Brother ascends the throne?"

De Fei frowned and said firmly: "It's impossible for him!"

Yinzhen also followed up with a question: "Mother, what if it really is Fourth Brother in the end?"

De Fei's expression changed, and she said in a heavy tone, "Your life is safe, but you will definitely not be reused!"

Feng Xi said worriedly, "I'm afraid the situation could be even worse than this! Mother and Fourth Brother are estranged, and Fourth Brother isn't close to us either. If Fourth Brother ascends the throne, will he harbor resentment out of jealousy of Mother's doting on Fourteenth?" Concubine De couldn't help but ask, "Why did you insist on accompanying me this time?"

Feng Xi answered with a firm gaze, "This is not only to win over the entire Mongolian forces, but also to make sure that no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, he will be wary of Yin Zhen's strength and dare not easily bully us. More importantly, if that day ever comes..." Feng Xi paused, as if she was a little embarrassed to speak, but finally said firmly, "I want Fourteen to be the next emperor!"

After hearing this, Concubine De suddenly understood. The children had such far-reaching plans. She looked at Feng Xi deeply, feeling touched and relieved. She knew she had to go with them so they could take care of her and the children at this critical moment.

Upon returning to the Fourteenth Mansion, Feng Xi eagerly wrote to the Hesheli family, urging Soetu to quickly organize a caravan for an overseas expedition, bringing their newly developed weapons. She also planned to ship Mongolian wool, cheese, and Jiangnan silk, along with other specialty products, to European countries for sale. The profits would be divided 30% between the Hesheli family, herself, and the emperor, with the remaining 10% used to expand the caravan's weaponry. She expressed her willingness to personally persuade Kangxi, confident that he would accept the proposal. Her goal was to ensure that no one who ascended the throne would dare to touch her family.

Yinzhen noticed that Feng Xi had been feeling uneasy in recent days, and couldn't help but ask with concern if anything had happened. Feng Xi snuggled in his arms and whispered, "I always have a bad feeling that this trip might be full of accidents..." Yinzhen hugged her tightly and promised firmly, "Don't worry, Xixi, I will do my best to protect your safety..." Feng Xi continued, "I have asked Grandpa to arrange for several servants who know martial arts to come over, just in case." Yinzhen looked at Feng Xi seriously and said, "That's good. You are about to give birth and need to rest well. In fact, you can stay in the capital with me, so that I can take better care of you and the baby. No matter what happens in the future, I will do my best to protect you." His eyes were full of determination and love.

Feng Xi looked at Yin Zhen affectionately and said softly, "We are a family, and I also hope to protect you. Don't worry, nothing will be wrong..." Her voice revealed her confidence and expectation for the future.

Yinzhen gently touched her belly, as if communicating with the unborn baby, and then whispered, "It will be fine..." His eyes were full of expectations for the future and responsibility to the family.

On the day of the trip, Kangxi specially granted the carriage of Fourteenth and Fengxi to be behind the Crown Prince. He knew what the symptoms of these conveniences were. Yinzhen rode the horse, while Defei and Fengxi sat in the carriage. Looking at Defei who was accompanying her, Fengxi said, "Mother, why don't you accompany the Emperor?"

De Fei handed the fruit in her hand to Feng Xi and said, "You have someone to accompany you, so you don't need me. I'll accompany you and my darling grandson... Do you feel carsick?" Feng Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. This carriage was specially made by the Imperial Household Department at the request of the Emperor. Your daughter-in-law is not feeling unwell."

Defei took a sip of fruit tea and said, "That's good! But your fruit tea and pastries are good..." Feng Xi took another box of fruit from the secret room and placed it in front of Defei, saying, "Mother, have this. This is the honeydew melon my father asked the servants to bring this morning. It's very sweet..." After hearing this, Defei hurriedly opened it, took a piece, tasted it and said, "Not bad!" As she spoke, she picked up another piece and fed it to Feng Xi.

After Feng Xi ate it with a smile, Defei continued, "Your father really loves you. This fruit is not cheap!" After that, she took another piece of honeydew melon and put it in her mouth.

Feng Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. These are seeds that my caravan obtained from overseas and cultivated on the farm..."

When Concubine De heard that it was cultivated on her own farm, she ate a few more pieces with confidence. Then she remembered Feng Xi's mention of overseas. So she stopped eating and said, "The emperor prohibits sea trade..."

Feng Xi explained with a smile: "This was brought back by the team that the Emperor and Grandpa privately formed. Don't worry, mother!" Only then did Concubine De start to enjoy the food with peace of mind.

After a month of arduous journeys, often with stops and starts, they finally reached the Great Wall. While the guards busied themselves setting up their tents, Feng Xi led the servants in admiring the magnificent grasslands. Many were puzzled by Feng Xi's arrival, even with her heavy belly. Some even grew jealous, believing Kangxi to be overly doting on Yinzhen. However, Feng Xi paid no heed to the glances and comments, reveling in the tranquility and beauty of the vast grasslands.
