Qing Dynasty: I Rely on Games To Fight For Favor - Chapter 154
The list of traveling with Kangxi was quickly set, and the minister didn’t care about Xia Mian. She emphatically asked who was in the harem.
It turned out that there were only her, An Bin, and Da Ge Ge, and there were two nobles, two of whom were always here. Xia Mian had never heard of it.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.
Concubine Hui and others felt that it was Xia Mian’s ghost, and they were very angry, but An Bi was very pleasantly surprised, thinking that it was Xia Mian’s begging for her again, and specially came to Jingren Palace to thank her.
Xia Mian didn’t dare to take credit, it wasn’t her this time.
But An Bi still firmly believed that she was still covered by Xia Mian’s light, otherwise she was a person who hadn’t been spoiled for several years, how could the emperor think of taking her out.
Maybe because of her family background? Xia Mian thought in her heart that she felt more and more nervous. She was sure that she was definitely not going to play this trip.
Hurrying to prepare things, as soon as Xia Mian was ready, Kangxi set off in a hurry.
The gate of the Forbidden City squeaked open, the emperor went with the queen mother, and Wanmin bowed his head.
Along the way, Xia Mian’s main task was to serve the good empress dowager together with Da Gege. The empress dowager was getting older, and Kangxi was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the bumps. Fortunately, the empress dowager has always been in good spirits.
When she came to the edge of the grassland, she began to look out from time to time, telling Xia Mian and Da Gege about the grassland in her memory.
The Queen Mother was only 14 years old when she left Horqin. “It has changed, everything has changed. It turned out to be a large area of Populus euphratica, but now it is bare.” She looked back and forth carefully and confirmed that she did not admit her mistake.
Xia Mian was also looking out, and she couldn’t help being a little disappointed. There was a big gap between this grassland and the blue water, blue sky and endless grass she thought! The eyes are full of scarred yellowish brown, with stones, exposed sand, and withered grass roots, but there is no green.
She wondered if she came too early. At the end of February, did the grass still show up?
“I heard that Mongolia had a severe drought last year.” Da Ge Ge said worriedly aside. It was so desolate outside, it was far from the capital, not to mention the wealth and exquisiteness of the Forbidden City. She felt gloomy when she thought of living in this environment in the future.
The empress dowager frowned, only one year of severe drought, not enough, Populus euphratica is the most resistant to wind and sand.
Xia Mian could see that the grassland was empty this time, and walked forward for another five or six days. Except for occasionally encountering one or two small tribes, there was basically nothing around her. She felt that she was unacceptable, and she couldn’t bear to live in such a place. .
After walking forward for two more days, I suddenly saw a light green in front of me, and colored flags of various colors on it. Everyone was shocked and finally reached the place.
Set up camp and set up a camp. In an instant, more than a thousand tents rose on the ground. The middle one was also the tallest. Naturally, it was Kangxi’s tent, followed by the Queen Mother, Xia Mian, An Bin…
The stars on the grassland are really bright, the sky is like a dome and the ground is like a cover, and you can reach countless stars when you stretch out your hand.
Settle Aludai and Yin Ye, Xia Mian sleeps with the stars.
Before dawn the next morning, she got up and Xiang Xiang waited for her to put on the more than ten kilograms of concubine dress. As the only concubine who followed the big boss, she now had a mission.
It hasn’t been finished yet, Luo Guiren and Yi Guiren have already cleaned up, and they have come to serve Xia Mian with two of them.
They were really not spoiled in the palace. The emperor suddenly picked them to come outside the Great Wall together. They were both surprised and terrified. They didn’t sleep much all night, so they waited for Xia Mian’s peace and worked hard in front of her.
During this trip, Xia Mian was in charge of everything in the harem.
Too nervous, Luo Guiren stepped on the corner of her skirt and almost fell. Panicked, she knelt down immediately, kowtowing hard, begging Xia Mian for atonement.
Xia Mian didn’t have the habit of killing people casually. This incident was just a small episode in the morning, and it passed quickly.
After having breakfast in a hurry, Xia Mian went to meet the big boss in front and waited for the Mongolian Khan to come and meet him.
The big boss glanced at her up and down, dignified and decent, like the Qing imperial concubine.
Xia Mian wanted to vomit, her upper body was ten kilograms, and her scalp was strangling painful, so everyone had to be dignified.
At three quarters, the horns hummed, Kangxi sat in the middle, sitting with the Queen Mother with her hands down, sitting in Xia Mian with her hands down, and An Bin next to him, and a group of people walked outside.
The two at the head, the 50-year-old on the left, have similar eyebrows to the Empress Dowager. At first glance, they are the leader of Monan, Manda, and the 30-year-old on the right, burly and majestic, should be the leader of Mobei, Taye.
It is strange that although the two of them are walking in the front, they are very respectful to the one behind them. They pay attention to them from time to time and do not dare to leave him behind.
The man wore a cassock, but it was not of the Central Plains style, but the style of Tibetan religion. He was about fifty years old, somewhat thin, with his hands folded, and his walking steadfast.
It’s Bren Tulku, Xia Mian did his homework in advance, so it’s clear.
The Mongols also believe in Buddhism. To them, the Living Buddha is similar to the messenger of the gods. Therefore, even the Khan has great respect for the Living Buddha, which is very different from the Central Plains.
When he understood this, Xia Mian still thought of a person, Cangyang Gyatso. His verses that are not love poems but are better than love poems can be said to be popular in future generations.
Now, counting the time, he is already three years old, and Xia Mian is still wondering if there will be a chance to see him with his own eyes in the future and see what kind of girl it is that makes him give birth to the idea of ”live up to the Tathagata but not down to the Qing”.
It’s far away, but this is just a flash of thought in Xia Mian’s mind. She is now focusing on the exclamation marks on the heads of Manda, Pagoda, and Bren Tulku.
Manda is similar to Ta Ye’s request. One hopes that Kangxi will marry Gege to his youngest son, and the other hopes that Kangxi will marry Gege to his eldest son. The mission of Bulun Living Buddha is really a life-saving purpose.
In recent years, Mongolia has been plagued by disasters, thunder and snow in winter, severe droughts year after year, and even the Hailar River has gradually dried up. He doesn’t know what’s going on. Is God going to punish them? But where did they go wrong!
He chanted and prayed every day and night, hoping that God would let their people go, and he was willing to bear all the suffering.
After reading his mission, Xia Mian was in awe of him. He really could afford the title of Living Buddha. Compared with the big boss for his country, he was actually more purely worried about the people.
His mission… all she thought.
Xia Mian had been staring at Bren Tulku, who seemed to have a feeling, and after looking at her, he stopped in shock after seeing her clearly.
“Living Buddha?” Manda quickly realized his strangeness, stopped and asked respectfully.
Pagoda also stopped, and then the two followed the eyes of Bulun Living Buddha and saw Xia Mian, dignified and beautiful, and she was indeed the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty. It’s just that this is not enough to stop Bren Tulku, is it?
Kangxi also immediately noticed the strangeness in the field, looking towards Xia Mian.
Xia Mian felt a little panic, did Bren Tulku see anything? She is not the original owner.
At this time, Bren Tulku continued to move forward, as if nothing had happened.
Manda and Ta Ye looked at each other, seeing the hatred in each other’s gaze, and turned to move on.
Next came various scenes similar to diplomatic etiquette. Xia Mian was stiff and tired to deal with it. At this moment, she regretted that she shouldn’t have followed the frontier, tired and boring.
Finally, the wine and dishes were placed, and a roasted whole lamb fat dripped onto the charcoal fire in the middle, making a sizzling noise. No one wanted to eat it at all. They were pretending to have something in their hearts.
Manda and Ta Ye rushed to complain to Kangxi, their princess hit the empress dowager and Xia Mian’s body, Xia Mian dealt with it, and looked at the Bulun Tulku at the same time. At this moment, he was sitting quietly. There, closing his eyes and reciting the sutra, it seemed that everything in this meal had nothing to do with him.
