June, Changchun Garden

The aging Empress Dowager was admiring the lotus flowers with Su Malagu.

The two old ladies looked at the blooming lotus flowers in the pond with some melancholy and sighed one after another.

"Ah..." The Empress Dowager folded her hands on her knees, with some longing in her eyes, "I don't know when Xuanye will come back."

Having depended on Emperor Kangxi for decades, the Empress Dowager had long regarded him as her own son. Now that she had gone to sea, she had not seen him for more than a year, and she missed him very much.

In addition, she was getting older and didn't know how many years she had left to live, so she was somewhat worried that she would not live to see Emperor Kangxi's return.

Su Malagu felt the same way. She sighed, "The emperor's sea voyage is for the future of our Qing Dynasty, but we always have to worry about something."

After all, those are the children they watched grow up, so how could they not be concerned and worried?

The Grand Empress Dowager nodded, and just as she was about to speak again, she saw the Eighth Princess Wen Ke waving at her from across the pond.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, "Su Ma, look, is that Xiao Ba?"

Su Ma raised her eyes and looked carefully. As Wen Ke got closer, she could see clearly.

"Yes, it's the Eighth Princess."

The Empress Dowager was puzzled. She asked in confusion: "Shouldn't Xiao Ba be studying at the girls' school at this time? Why did she come to Changchun Garden?"

Su Malagu shook her head, she didn't know either.

The two old ladies just waited for Wen Ke to approach, and then the Empress Dowager asked loudly: "Xiao Ba, why are you here?"

Wen Ke was a little out of breath. She took a break and then said, "Madam Huang, Madam Su, I have good news to tell you!"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Su Malagu looked at each other, both somewhat puzzled.

"What good news?"

Could it be that the emperor has returned?

Although they knew it was impossible, the news still immediately entered the minds of the two old ladies.

Wen Ke didn't keep the secret at all. She directly took out the letter hidden in her sleeve and said, "Madam Huang, Madam Su, Sister Rongxian and the others wrote to us, saying that trains have now been popularized in Mongolia, and we can take a train to Mongolia for a trip."

The entire Mongolian prairie was paved with railways and trains had started running. It was time for the Empress Dowager and Su Malagu, who had not returned home for a long time, to go back and see the prairie they had been longing for.

When Wen Ke said this, the Empress Dowager and Su Malagu were both shocked.

"What? Is it true?" Su Malagu was a little bit unbelievable.

The Empress Dowager couldn't believe it either. She quickly held Wen Ke's hand and asked repeatedly, "Xiao Ba, did your Thirteenth Brother tell us to go to Mongolia?"

Wen Ke nodded vigorously immediately, "Don't worry, Madam Huang, Brother Thirteen has already made arrangements. I will accompany you and Madam Su to Mongolia when the time comes. When we get there, Sister Rongxian will take care of us."

As for her brothers, they were all busy with court affairs. She happened to want to visit Mongolia, so she accepted this assignment.

Wen Ke's words gave the two old ladies a shot in the arm. After knowing that they could go to see the Korqin grassland, both the Empress Dowager and Su Malagu were radiant. They felt that they were full of energy and could set off directly.

"So when did your Thirteenth Brother arrange for us to set off?" asked the Grand Empress Dowager. After confirming the time, she went back and asked someone to pack up their things. Then she went back to the palace to Fengxian Hall to have a chat with Empress Dowager Zhaosheng.

Wen Ke recalled carefully and said, "Brother Thirteen said that as long as the Royal Madam and you are ready, you can set off at any time."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager stood up immediately. She grabbed Su Malagu and said, "Come on, Su Ma, let's pack our things and try to set off for Korchin in a few days!"

That is their hometown they have been away from for many years. At this age when they are almost old, they can still travel thousands of miles back to visit their hometown. This is something that many people long for.

Su Malagu's eyes were filled with tears. "Pack up, pack up!"

She was going back to Korchin with the princess's wish.

Wen Ke looked at their excitement and felt a little emotional. Not knowing what to say, she quickly helped the two of them go back to pack their things.

She didn't quite understand the feelings of Madam Huang and Madam Su before, but as she grew up and learned to empathize with them, she began to understand a little.

If she had left the capital and had not returned for decades, she would also be looking forward to returning to her hometown.

After understanding the feelings of the Empress Dowager and Sumalagu, Wen Ke became particularly interested in this trip to Mongolia.

Huang Mama and Su Mama are already old, and this may be their last time to go to Mongolia. They cannot let anything go wrong on this trip.

At the end of June, the eighth princess Wen Ke accompanied the Empress Dowager and boarded a train to Mongolia, starting a journey to Mongolia.

"Oh ... if only Mother Uku were still alive."

Yinreng, who was deeply impressed by Wuku's mother, sighed in an indescribable way.

As a child whose biological mother died young, for Yinreng, apart from Khan Ama who served as both his father and mother, the most important person was Mother Wuku who always loved him.

Unfortunately, when he was thirteen years old, Wuku's mother left him.

If Wuku's mother were still here at this moment, he would be able to accompany Wuku to see the prairie that she had been longing for.

Yinreng was a little depressed.

"If Wuku's mother is still alive, she must have watched Korqin countless times."

Reaching out and patting Yinreng's shoulder, Yinzhi's words were rarely without being hurtful.

These older brothers are the ones who remember Mother Wuku's voice, appearance and smile the most. Not to mention what happened in their previous lives, even in this life, when they had just been reborn, they went against Khan Ama several times, and it was Mother Wuku who always protected them.

It's a pity that happy days are always so short...

"Oh!" Yinzhi sighed as he spoke.

The two brothers stood side by side, looking at the train heading to Mongolia in silence for a long time.

After a long while, Yinreng finally said, "Let's go back to work."

No matter how much I remember Mother Wuku, she is no longer with us.

What they need to do now is to do their job well and strive to make the Qing Dynasty a better place.

Yinreng, who wanted to give up but could never do so, took a big step forward.

If you can't be an idle king, then be a wise king seriously.
