At the foot of the mountain, Kangxi came out of the sedan chair with his youngest son in his arms. Immediately, a servant stepped forward to take the child from him.

Probably because he was exhausted from climbing the mountain today, the little guy was already fast asleep in Ama's arms, breathing evenly, his little face was flushed, and he was snoring softly.

The two eunuchs were cautiously preparing to take him over from the emperor's hand, but found that the little guy was holding Ama's clothes tightly with one hand, and refused to let go no matter what.

The officials who accompanied Kangxi to climb Mount Tai today, in addition to the southern tour with him, there are also local officials, there are dozens of them, and they are all standing aside patiently at this moment.

The prince was also standing beside him. Seeing Xiaotuanzi's sleeping appearance was so cute, he couldn't help poking his face with his hand.

I don't know if the eunuch was impatient and his hands were a little heavy, or the troublesome hand of his brother behind him disturbed his sleep.In short, Xiaotuanzi, who was leaning against Ama's arms, became impatient. His little face rubbed against Ama's clothes twice, and his mouth shrunk, as if he was about to burst into tears in the next second.

While Ama was not paying attention, the prince quickly withdrew his hand, pretending nothing happened.

Kangxi suddenly raised his eyes, and gave the two eunuchs a sharp look. The emperor didn't say a word, and the surrounding air froze instantly with just one look.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, not to mention the two eunuchs, even the officials who were accompanying them could not wait to kneel down.

But Kangxi didn't say anything, he just let the two of them retreat, and he hugged the child tightly again.

Xiaotuanzi returned to Ama's arms, as if he had calmed down again, and continued to sleep soundly.

Liang Jiugong passed a blanket over Yinyou's back, Kangxi freed his hands to wrap his son tightly, and then returned to the sedan chair with his arms around him.

Only then did everyone's hearts return to their original positions, and the colleagues looked at each other, as if they understood something in their hearts.

It is said that apart from the prince, the emperor's favorite among the princes is Seventh Brother. If it is true, even the prince might not have been treated this way when he was a child.

This time, the imperial concubine and the seventh elder brother were driving together, not only the mother and son, but also the entire Tong family held an extraordinary position in the emperor's heart.

The officials sent abroad in Shandong had already received the news. They accompanied the emperor to climb the mountain, and the wife accompanied the emperor to drink tea and chat with the imperial concubine in the palace.Everyone tried to use this method, either to get a little glimpse of the Holy Majesty's preferences, or to please the imperial concubine and let her blow the pillow.

After drinking this day's tea, the imperial concubine felt that she was going to be swollen, and there were many boxes, large and small, on the table, all of which were gifts from the family members of the adults today.Some of them are really just expressing their hearts, they are not very expensive, and some things, she has never seen before, so she can't say whether they are good or bad.

Kangxi came back shortly after the wives left, and the imperial concubine was worried about her son, worried that he would bump into each other, so she greeted him immediately.What I didn't expect to see was Long Live holding the child with one arm, striding ahead, followed by the crown prince.

Her son slept soundly in Ama's arms, and it was not difficult to see from Kangxi's expression that this little boy had caused a lot of trouble to Ama today.

Except for the imperial concubine, no one could easily take the child away from Kangxi's arms.Li Xi was waiting at the side, quickly picked it up, carried it to the back room to settle on the bed, and let him continue to sleep.

Kangxi stretched his arms and carried the child all the way back, feeling a little sore.From time to time, he glanced to the side, as if hinting at something.

The imperial concubine grasped the spirit and went over to pinch him twice: "Xiao Qi is naughty again today?"

Kangxi half-closed his eyes, enjoying her service very much: "I'm very good today, but I fell asleep when I came back last. I don't let others touch me when I fell asleep, so I can only hug her all the way back."

"The emperor has worked hard."

Even though she said that, the imperial concubine thought in her heart: "The son is your own son, what's wrong with hugging him, you are not a stepfather."

The court lady brought the teacup, Kangxi took a sip, looked up and saw the things on the table, stood up immediately, walked to the table: "Liang Jiugong, open all these."

There were quite a lot of things, and the two eunuchs opened them one by one. Kangxi took a general look at them. They were gold and silver jewelry that women like, and occasionally some pearls and jades. They looked ordinary and not very expensive.

The imperial concubine handed him a piece of paper: "Which lady gave you what, the concubine wrote it down, please look over it."

Kangxi took a look at it, and then pondered for a moment. From Jinan to Tai'an, he recalled the big and small officials he had contacted. His work performance and local reputation were all good. Now it seems that there are no major economic problems.

The imperial concubine asked: "Do you want to return these?"

He bent his fingers and tapped the table: "No, put it away."

He said to put it away, then put it away, the imperial concubine beckoned, and a few court ladies and eunuchs came over to put away the things and take them down.

Kangxi sat back on the grand teacher's chair to drink his tea, waiting for dinner: "Cousin, why didn't you ask me why I asked you to put it away instead of returning it?"

The imperial concubine thought about it, she was planning to fish for law enforcement, but she said: "I don't know, please ask the emperor to clarify."

"Go back, and no one will dare to send it along the way."

really……

Before dinner, the imperial concubine asked Li Xi to wake Yinyou up, and if he continued to sleep, he would not be able to sleep at night and torment the old mother, so it is better to let him wake up now, and it is time to eat later.

The little guy didn't wake up, and was about to lose his temper. Li Xi knew him too well, so he came prepared. The moment he opened his mouth to cry, he quickly stuffed a piece of sesame crisp candy into his mouth.

As a result, the cry of a bear child stuck in his throat, his tongue tasted a little bit of sweetness, and his expression eased. The impatience just now dissipated, and he began to concentrate on tasting the crispy candy in his mouth.

Li Xi tidied up his clothes, and the little guy just finished eating the candy in his mouth. He raised his head and looked at Li Xi: "Aunt Xi, Xiao Qi wants to eat one more piece."

When he asks for something, he always speaks with a coquettish tone.If you don't have enough concentration, or someone who doesn't know him well, hearing his plea, no matter how hard it is to refine steel, it will turn into soft fingers and agree to everything.

For example, Yinfeng, Xiaotuanzi is so soft and cute, as long as he calls "Brother Prince", all delicious and fun things will be delivered to him.

But Li Xi has been fighting with him for so many years, and he has long been resistant to his tricks, no matter how coquettish and cute he is, it won't work: "No, dinner is about to come, if you eat candy, I won’t be able to eat anything delicious in a while.”

Yinyou pouted, hugged her arm and begged, "Just together."

"Not even one piece. After a while, the empress will find out, and the servants will be punished."

She moved the imperial concubine out, Yinyou stopped talking immediately, turned her head and walked out the door with a soft snort: "Forget it, I don't like sesame flavor anyway, it's not delicious at all, hum!"

I don't know who the person who ate "baji baji" just now was so satisfying. There is no taste that he doesn't like, he just can't eat grapes and says the grapes are sour.

Li Xi smiled and saw him leaving the room with small steps, and hurriedly followed him out and asked, "Where are you going, bro?"

"I'm going to find Brother Prince."

Li Xi watched him out of the yard, and hurriedly asked Zhao Cheng to follow.

The small courtyard where the prince lives is not far away. Yinyou passes through the arch and walks along a long corridor.

When Yinyou stepped into the gate, he happened to meet Madam Xiong delivering tea to the prince.Yinyou walked in against the base of the wall, looking at each other from time to time.

Madam Xiong is very strict with the servants of Yuqing Palace, all the maids and eunuchs are not afraid of her.As the prince grows older, in order not to affect his studies, there are no more maids in Yuqing Palace, and she sent them to other places.

This time Kangxi went on a long journey, and he didn't plan to bring the elderly mother with him.But Mammy Xiong was different, she was the nanny of the former empress, her qualifications were there, and she was strong and strong, so she was worried about handing over the crown prince to others, so she came out together.

Every time Yinyou sees her, he can't help but think of the image of Grandma Wolf, and feels that she grew up according to the description in that story. He is instinctively scared, and stays away from her every time he sees her.

Mammy Xiong manages Yuqing Palace submissively, but there is nothing she can do about this Seventh Elder Brother.

The empress dowager's treasure on the apex of her heart is doted on by the emperor and spoiled by the crown prince. Who can do anything with him?

Yinyou thought that Mammy Xiong hadn't noticed him, so he secretly stood in the corner, watching her bring tea in, and then watching her come out.

I planned to wait until she was far away before going in, but Mammy Xiong turned around and said to him with a smile, "Seventh Brother, you go in, the prince is reading a book inside."

Yinyou: "..."

"okay, I get it."

He waved his hand and signaled Mammy Xiong to hurry up and get busy. Seeing her walking away, he felt relieved. He walked up the steps, over the threshold, and ran to the Prince's desk: "Brother Prince!"

Although he was on a southern tour with Khan Aman, the prince's homework could not be left behind.According to Ama's regulations, he needs to read the "Book of Rites" 120 times a day.

After returning from Taishan, he sat in front of the desk and began to read seriously. He didn't plan to do anything else until dinner.

Yinfeng lowered his head and saw Xiaotuanzi raised his head and looked at him.The corners of his mouth turned up when he smiled, he was so cute, the prince glanced at the book, then at him, struggled for a moment, finally decided to put down the book, hugged Xiaotuanzi, and put it on his lap.

Yinyou said, "Open your mouth."

The prince didn't know what he was going to do, but he opened his mouth obediently, and then, a piece of fragrant and sweet stuff was stuffed into his mouth, which was sesame crisp candy.

Yinyou said proudly: "I took it from the plate while Aunt Xi was not paying attention, she didn't know."

The prince sucked the candy that the little guy fed into his mouth, stretched out his hand and scratched his nose: "Did you specially bring it for me?"

Yinyou smiled at him sweeter than sugar: "She coaxed me to get up and gave me one. I said I wanted to eat another one, but she refused, saying that I would not be able to eat after eating it. I took it secretly. One, I didn't eat it myself, I gave it to the prince's brother."

Hearing this, the prince felt that the candy in his mouth was so sweet.He is not a person with a sweet tooth, but every time Yinyou brought candy and snacks, he ate them all without exception.

However, as the elder brother, he still hugged his younger brother to make him stand upright, with a serious expression on his face, but his tone was still gentle: "However, this is not allowed outside in the future. You must ask clearly when using characters. If you don't ask, it is stealing." ,Understand?"

Yinyou bit her lower lip: "I don't understand."

"Hey!" The prince sighed secretly in his heart, "You just have to remember that you can't take other people's things casually, and tell the prince brother what you like and want, okay?"

Yinyou nodded heavily, and answered him with a serious expression: "I never take other people's things. They don't have the toys I have. I will share them with them."

The prince patted his head: "Xiao Qi is awesome."

Yinyou suddenly remembered something, but he never had time to mention it to the prince's elder brother, and then he forgot it.Today, when I was talking about toys, I remembered again: "Brother Prince, let me tell you something, don't be angry."

"Tell me, why is the prince's brother angry with you?" The prince simply picked him up and put him on the desk.

"It's... that Bundy, do you remember?"

I knew it was a Mongolian name after hearing it, and the prince knew it very well, but I couldn't remember the specifics.

Yinyou reminded him: "The one who wrestled with the elder brother."

The prince suddenly realized: "The Borzigit clan of the Horqin tribe, I remember that Khan Ama married the eldest princess to him."

"Yes, yes, yes," Yinyou nodded: "He gave me a mace, saying he hit it himself, and he wanted to make Anda with me. At that time, I only had the owl tumbler you gave me, so I took the tumbler Give it to him."

Speaking of this, Yinyou secretly looked at the prince's face, and found that the other party was not angry, but touched his head with a smile: "If you like it, I will let the building office make a set for you New ones, all kinds of animals."

"Really?" The little guy's eyes widened when he heard the toy, "Then I want a kitten, a puppy, a little fish, a little turtle, a little rabbit..."

The more the prince listened, the more something was wrong. This kitten and puppy are alright. How can a little fish and a little turtle be made into tumblers?

Fortunately, Eunuch He walked in from the outside: "Prince, it's time for dinner. The emperor asked you to take Seventh Brother there."

As soon as he heard the meal, Yinyou became excited and opened his arms towards the prince: "Brother Prince, hug~~"

Those who didn't know really thought that he was begging the prince for a hug, but in fact it was just that the desk was too high for him to get down, and he was in a hurry to eat.

The next day, a local Shandong official asked Kangxi to take a look at Sheshen Cliff, so the itinerary for this day continued to Mount Tai.

But this time, the imperial concubine also went with them, because they would not return to the palace after coming down from Mount Tai in the afternoon, but continued to walk eastward.

Sheshen Cliff is located in the south of Riguan Peak. It is steep on three sides and faces the abyss. Just standing there makes one's legs weak, and Yinyou dare not look down at all.

At this time, Zhang Qifeng, the governor of Tai'an Prefecture, explained to the emperor the origin of the name "Sacrifice Cliff".It is rumored that in the old days, in order to get rid of their parents' illnesses, people prayed to the gods and jumped off the cliff to sacrifice themselves, so it was named Sashenya.

After hearing this, Yinyou turned pale with fright, and took several steps back.He is too young to understand this kind of filial piety that requires sacrificing his life to pray for his parents, he just instinctively feels terrible.

He just kept backing away, didn't pay attention to the situation behind him, bumped into Kangxi's leg inadvertently, screamed in fright, turned around and hugged Ama's leg tightly, buried his small face in him On the hem of his clothes, he dared not lift it up.

Kangxi quickly stretched out his hands to protect his son, for fear that he would fall, and there were cliffs all around, which frightened the old father a lot.

He immediately turned his head to stare at Zhang Qifeng, and said sharply: "It's a bunch of nonsense."

All the officials at the scene knelt on the ground, Zhang Qifeng quickly bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, calm down, I deserve death for my crimes!"

While comforting Yinyou, Kangxi said to the crowd: "Some people are ignorant and believe in these absurd remarks, thinking that sacrificing one's life is filial piety. But they don't know that their parents dare not easily damage their body and skin, so Zeng Zi is like this. The abyss is like walking on thin ice.”【Note 1】

He touched his youngest son's head again, looked at the prince standing aside, and continued, "Which parent doesn't love his child? When he gets sick, the child jumps off the cliff and cannot support his parents. The greatest dishonesty!"

He suddenly turned up the volume, scaring all the ministers on the ground to tremble.He went on to say: "This kind of thing happens everywhere, and it should be strictly prohibited, so that the people will not be misled by these customs."

"Zhang Qifeng." Kangxi looked at the officials kneeling on the ground, "I order you to build a wall here, and send watchmen to guard it. Be careful that someone comes here again and jumps off the cliff."

Zhang Qifeng hurriedly received an order to thank him, and Kangxi took his son back and said, "Get up, everyone."

Hearing Ama's words, Yinyou's frightened mood slowly calmed down.He felt much better when he thought that if a fence was built here and guarded by watchmen, no one would jump off the cliff again.

Coming down from Sheshen Cliff, Kangxi took his son to Dongyue Temple to worship the God of Mount Tai in person.Afterwards, everyone had lunch and continued on their way east.

Along the way, there is no town as big as Jinan Prefecture, and there are no places of interest to visit.So, for a few days in a row, it was really a non-stop rush.

The way Kangxi passed the time was to review the memorials, and then pass on oral instructions to his ministers, or call the accompanying officials to discuss business affairs. There is really no state affairs to worry about, and he can chat with the imperial concubine for a long time.

The prince stayed in his carriage, reading and reciting his "Book of Rites" earnestly. The imperial concubine would send someone to deliver some snacks and fruits from time to time. By the way, remind him that the carriage is bumpy. Take a break, look at the distance, and relieve visual fatigue.

The only person who has nothing to do is Yinyou. The scenery of the barren mountains and wild mountains is the same, and he has no interest. He can only hold the sword to harass the little sword spirit and let him chat with him.

Little Sword Spirit annoyed him to death, he babbled endlessly, either eating or playing, if he grew up, he would be just like an idle playboy.

Sometimes it's really boring, Yinyou will practice according to the mental method he said, but I don't know if his physical development can't keep up with his age, or he doesn't practice hard at all, and often falls asleep while practicing.

He was still holding the seven stars in his hand when he fell asleep, and the little sword spirit would not let him go in his dream, letting him continue practicing.

But when he wakes up, Yinyou always feels refreshed, and his arms and legs seem to be a little bit tougher.

Five days later, they came to Tancheng County and lived in a place called Honghuapu.

Here has come to the bank of the Yellow River, Shao Gan, Governor of Water Transport, and local officials came to welcome him.Kangxi was a little surprised when he saw him. It was agreed that everyone would meet in Suqian, but why did they come to Yizhou?

Sacred intentions are unpredictable, he ran such a distance for hundreds of miles, flattered and slapped his thigh, but he got a bad nose, and he didn't dare to speak, so he could only walk back in a desperate manner.

When he arrived at the Yellow River, he ate the most satisfying meal in Yinyou's camp that night.

He likes to eat fish the most. There happened to be a steamed fish on the dining table. The fish was tender and plump.

After eating, he was unhappy. He sat alone at the table with his face drooping, not knowing what he was thinking.

Kangxi held the teacup and asked him: "What's the matter with you? You were fine while eating, who made you unhappy?"

The prince sat aside to read the book, and raised his head when he heard Khan Ama's words, looking at Xiaotuanzi.

Yinyou frowned, raised his head to look at Ama, hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his head again, with tears in his eyes: "I miss Ukuma."

He loves to eat fish, so the small kitchen of Compassionate Ning Palace often cooks steamed fish for him. Every time, the Empress Dowager would watch him eat with a smile and tell him to eat more.

He had a good time eating fish tonight, but after he was happy, he couldn't help but miss Ukumama, and even shed a few tears in the end.

Kangxi was grateful for his filial piety, but instead of reprimanding him, he beckoned and called his son to his side: "The ancestor is in the palace at the moment, and she has always loved you the most. We are so far away from the Forbidden City, what do you think we should do?"

Yinyou thought for a while and asked, "Can you also send one of the fish we ate at night to Mama Ukuma?"

Kangxi turned his head to look at Yinfeng: "What do you think the prince wants?"

Yinfeng smiled: "That's naturally good, add some local specialty fruits, and send some back to the palace together with Mama Ukuma."

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, and indeed sent someone to deliver the Yellow River fresh fish and some local specialties to the Empress Dowager, ordering the people to be careful along the way, not to delay, and to deliver them as quickly as possible without delay.

Going further down is the main task of this southern tour.Kangxi called Jin Fu, governor of the River Channel, to discuss the matter: "The Yellow River has repeatedly breached, and it has been a disaster for the people along the banks for a long time. The purpose of my visit this time is to see the current situation and inspect the progress of the embankment construction. Let's start tomorrow."

On the second day, he took the prince to inspect the river workers, followed by a little tail.Kangxi wanted to stop him, but he saw the prince put a hat on and fastened his cloak for him. He knew that from the moment he led him out of the Forbidden City, this little tail would never be shaken off.

There was a strong wind on the embankment, Yinyou held the prince's brother's hand tightly, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would be blown away by the river wind.

The management of the Yellow River has always been the heart disease of the emperors of all dynasties. Kangxi is no exception. He is even more worried than other emperors. his thoughts.

The prince had prepared for such a long time, and when he came to the scene in person, he was still very shocked to see the Yellow River rushing from west to east. But when the emperor asked him, he explained his thoughts in detail, and Kangxi was very satisfied after hearing it.

The imperial concubine still stayed in the camp. On the way, as many local officials came to greet him, as many wives came to pay their respects to the imperial concubine.

Mostly the master and wives have learned that the imperial concubine received a lot of gifts in Zhili and Shandong, and when they arrived in Jiangsu, everyone was unwilling to be left behind, and ordered the wives to present gifts to the imperial concubine one after another.

When Kangxi inspected the Yellow River and returned to the camp, the imperial concubine handed him a box.Kangxi only opened it for a glance, and there was a gold hairpin lying inside, but one could tell from the material and workmanship that it was definitely not an ordinary gold hairpin. No woman could refuse that kind of dazzling and gorgeous beauty.

Before the imperial concubine said who gave this object, Kangxi gritted his teeth and spit out two words - Shao Gan.

The governor of water transportation, as the name suggests, is the official responsible for transporting official grain from the river.Although it is not as good as the big officials in the frontiers like the eight governors, it is not bad, and it is definitely a fat job with a lot of power.

When Kangxi was still in the capital, he received a lot of impeachment reports. During this journey, he also heard many people respond to his problems. The boss was very unhappy when he saw him go to Yizhou to pick him up. Dare to deliver it to your door yourself.

The imperial concubine said: "It was precisely because he realized that he had offended the Holy Majesty that day that he asked his wife to intercede and asked my concubine to speak kindly in front of you."

Kangxi threw the box on the table without saying anything.

Kangxi spent [-] days in northern Jiangsu on this journey, and whenever he went, he had to visit the Yellow River embankment in person.

Yinyou looked out from the window of the carriage, and saw that those laborers who transported rock and soil and rammed the embankment were really hard. The weather in mid-October was sweating profusely with their upper body naked.

Not to mention him as a child, even Kangxi couldn't bear it when he saw it. He stopped the carriage many times, went to condolences in person, and called Jin Fu and other river ministers to him, asking them to strictly prevent anyone from corrupting the law and deducting labor wages. Ensure that everyone can get the full amount of silver taels.

When in Suqian, many ordinary people kowtowed on both sides of the road to greet them. Kangxi also specially told the accompanying officials that if the ordinary people had grievances or reported corruption by local officials, they could report them as much as possible.He also bluntly said that the governor and the governor have the most serious corruption problems and they also shield each other.A kind of minister trembled in fright, and no one dared to say anything.

Soon after, Shao Gan, the governor of water transportation, was escorted to Kangxi: "Since you took office, you have not done much for the common people, and you have put a lot of money in your pocket."

Shao Gan immediately knelt down, kowtowed to the emperor and shouted for grievances. With snot and tears, he sincerely expressed that he was wronged: "As a Manchu, I have always been tabooed by those Han people since I took office. difficulty."

This is said with a level, first get close to the emperor, and show that he is superior to others.Then put the blame on those Hanchens.He didn't say it directly, but he said that he was tabooed by the Han people. Depending on how the emperor interpreted it, he could think that it was the Han people who caused him trouble, or that the Han officials huddled together to squeeze him out and wrong him.

There were both Manchu and Han officials present, but most of them were Han officials. Although Jin Fu, the governor of the river, belonged to the Han army with a yellow banner, he was also Han.Standing there expressionless, watching how his colleague died.

Kangxi didn't say much, and detained him first. While going south, he sent people to continue investigating the matter. He also transferred Xu Xuling, who had just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to take over the post of Governor of Water Transport.

Then, they began to sail from northern Jiangsu to southern Jiangsu by boat.This was Yinyou's first time on a boat, the little guy was so excited, he looked at the stern from the bow, and even took the initiative to chat with the boatman, asking him seriously: "What is the displacement of your boat?"

Boatman: "???"

"Don't you know the displacement? It's just a big wine barrel, how many big wine barrels can it hold."

Boatman: "..."

The honest man couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turns out that not all the emperor's sons are smart, and some are stupid.

Kangxi was not in the mood for sightseeing, especially when he came to Gaoyou and saw that most of the farmland and houses there were submerged in the water, he was very worried.

He purposely let the boat dock, walked on the embankment of the lake for more than ten miles, and gathered local officials and scholars to learn more about the causes of the flood, as well as the personal safety and economic losses of the people.

Such a severe flood must be accompanied by the prevalence of some infectious diseases, such as typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery and enteritis, schistosomiasis and so on.

The imperial concubine also learned about some of the disease conditions, and learned that some villagers in the vicinity had symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and fever due to the flood, and there were deaths every year.

Kangxi knew that she had been studying medicine all these years, and he even asked Western missionaries for some translated medical books for her to read. Even the imperial physician said that the imperial concubine was amazingly talented in medical skills.

Moreover, whenever a concubine gives birth in the palace, it is inconvenient for the imperial physician to enter the delivery room. Most of the imperial concubines can keep the mother and child safe when the imperial concubine goes.Kangxi has always trusted her in this regard.

For the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, the imperial concubine has a more comprehensive understanding than the imperial physician.After returning, she immediately sorted out a prevention and treatment plan for infectious diseases after the flood based on her memory.

First of all, in terms of diet, do not eat food that has been soaked in the flood, do not drink raw water, do not eat poultry that was drowned in the flood, do not eat fresh melons and fruits, and do not hold weddings, funerals and other gatherings.

Then there is static filtration of well water, which can be disinfected with alum stone, and then boiled before drinking.

Another is to do a good job in personal and public health, to prevent rodent infestation, and to dispose of the remains of victims in a timely manner.

Finally, if an outbreak is found, it should be reported in time, and local officials must immediately organize the treatment and isolation of patients and close contacts.

Kangxi urged the officials to handle this matter. All prefectures and counties with floods should be surveyed one by one.

After Gaoyou, the rest of the trip felt less heavy.They continued to travel down the canal by boat, passing through Yangzhou to Zhenjiang.The closer to the south, the more excited Yinyou is.

He couldn't stay in the cabin for a moment, and he must come to the deck to watch the surrounding scenery.

"Er Niang, look at the houses there, they are not at all the same as those in the Forbidden City."

"Brother Prince, look at that mountain, it is different from those in Beijing, Zhili, and Shandong."

"And get some trees and those flowers, and those people, they're not like us."

The prince smiled and asked him, "What's the difference?"

The little guy tilted his head and thought for a long time: "I can't say, it's just different anyway!"

Arrived in Zhenjiang, boarded Jinshan.The imperial concubine asked him: "Is this place familiar?"

The little guy shook his head: "Er Niang, you don't remember, this is our first time here."

The imperial concubine nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this is my first time here. But you must have heard of this place, think about it again."

Yinyou thought for a long time, they were about to come down from the Jinshan Mountain, and then remembered: "Ah, it is sung in the opera that the White Lady floods the Jinshan Mountain."

The imperial concubine touched his head: "You have remembered."

Wherever Kangxi went, local officials asked him to give him a letter. When he came to Longchan Temple, he wrote the four characters "Jiangtian Yilan".

Yinyou looked at it for a long time, and found that he knew the first three of the four characters. He felt that his cultural level had greatly improved, and he was very proud.

After leaving Zhenjiang, they continued down the canal south, passing through Changzhou and Wuxi, and arrived in Suzhou.

This is a real water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Every plant, every tree, every brick and tile reveals freshness and elegance.

Kangxi didn't say anything, but from the smile on his face, the courtiers can easily guess that the emperor is in a good mood today.

The prince is also in a good mood. Looking at the surrounding scenery, he can't help but think of the song "Bodhisattva Man": Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, but tourists only like Jiangnan's elders.

Sure enough, the people on the edge of the river are like the moon, and the white wrists are covered with frost and snow. All the women in the south of the Yangtze River seem to be made of water, so beautiful and moving.

Kangxi wanted to rebuild Tsinghua Garden. According to the architectural style of Jiangnan, Suzhou gardens must be an important tourist attraction during this trip.From the Humble Administrator's Garden to Tiger Qiu, the beauty is overwhelming, one step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time, and the mountains and pagodas in the distance can be borrowed to become the beauty of the courtyard.

Yinyou walked through the moon arch, walked across the small stone bridge, and shuttled between the two ends of the corridor.He seemed to like this place even more than his Ama, and kept asking the imperial concubine: "Are there any little frogs in the lotus pond? Are there turtles under the rockery? Can we live here tonight?"

His questions came one after another, and the imperial concubine had no time to answer them.

The little guy was overly excited, and when he heard his Ama discussing the garden style with Li Xu and the others, he also stood aside and listened seriously. He was too short to see Ye Tao and Zhang Ran showing it to Kangxi. I was a little anxious about the drawings.

The imperial concubine couldn't see anyone if she wasn't paying attention, and the child was like a wild dog running wild when she went out, completely out of control.

No matter whether she is stern or soft-spoken, the little guy just ignores her words and still does his own thing, scurrying around, happy like a little monkey released into the jungle.

In the end, the imperial concubine couldn't bear it any longer, and she pulled him to a secluded place and told him, "Baby, you can't run around anymore."

"Why, I like this place. I like the houses, pavilions, rockeries, and stone bridges here. Ama said that she will build a garden like this in the capital. We can move in in the future. Aren't you happy, Er Niang?"

His mother couldn't be happy, being robbed by him so much, the imperial concubine almost forgot what she was going to say, and it took a while to remember: "It's the first time Er Niang came here, it's such a long way, if you lose me , I can’t go back, if I can’t go back, you won’t have a mother.”

Hearing this, Yinyou showed a pity expression.He stretched out his small hand and gently touched Erniang's face: "Don't worry, I won't run around anymore, I'll hold Erniang's hand all the time, so that I won't let her get lost."

The imperial concubine was completely moved by his heart-warming actions, she hugged her son into her arms, and touched his little face with her cheek: "Xiao Qi is such a good baby."

Yinyou patted her on the back: "Hey! Erniang is so stupid, but fortunately she gave birth to a baby as smart as me, otherwise what would I do if I got lost?"

The touch and warmth in the imperial concubine's heart disappeared in an instant, she pushed him away, and slapped her little butt: "Thank you so much."
