Chapter 856: Step by Step Mingyu (End)

After saying that, he sped up again, and the horse galloped across the grassland like lightning, raising clouds of dust.

Mingyu was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly and pressed her face against Kangxi's back, feeling his solid back and strong heartbeat. The wind whistled in her ears, as if it was going to swallow her up. She couldn't help but regret her stubbornness. If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have been so stubborn.

After an unknown amount of time, the horse finally slowed down. Mingyu dared to open her eyes, but found that the scene in front of her was completely different. They came to a hillside, overlooking the entire grassland. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the grassland, as if covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze, which was beautiful.

Kangxi got off the horse and reached out to help Mingyu down. Mingyu's legs were a little weak and she almost couldn't stand steadily. Fortunately, Kangxi supported her in time.

"How about it, my dear Yu'er, do you like the scenery of this grassland?" Kangxi asked gently, with a hint of doting in his tone.

Mingyu calmed down, looked at the magnificent scenery in front of her, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful scenery."

Kangxi smiled, took her hand, walked to the edge of the hillside, pointed to the distance and said: "Look, those herds of cattle and sheep, don't they look like pearls scattered on the grassland?"

Mingyu looked in the direction of his finger and saw stars in the distance, which looked like scattered pearls. She couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty is really good at metaphors."

Kangxi also smiled, and held her in his arms, pointing to the rolling hills in the distance, and said, "I will bring you here again next spring. By then, the grassland will be in full bloom, and it will be even more beautiful than it is now."

Mingyu leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling the warmth emanating from him. Her heart was filled with happiness and sweetness. She nodded gently and said softly, "Okay."

The two of them hugged each other quietly, admiring the beautiful scenery of the grassland under the sunset. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the sound of each other's heartbeats and gentle breathing intertwined to form a moving love song.

At the moment when the afterglow of the setting sun spread over the grassland, Yinreng rode his horse in a hidden shadow in the distance. He squinted his eyes, and his gaze passed through the fine dust and golden red light, falling on the two people snuggling together.

His hands holding the reins tightened slightly, and his joints turned pale. The silent and deserted grassland seemed to hear the sigh in his heart being torn into pieces.

Yinreng's eyes were complex and forbearing, with both burning pain and uncontrollable jealousy. He clearly saw Mingyu leaning on Kangxi's chest, with a soft expression, and her eyebrows were not the innocence of the past, but a kind of dependence and gentleness after going through hardships.

This kind of expression was something she had never shown in front of him. And Kangxi, his father, was so gentle at this moment that his heart was broken. Those eyes, which were as high as the stars, could actually be filled with mountains and rivers and warmth, all for a woman.

This woman is Mingyu, whom Yinreng deeply cherishes in his heart.

The horse pawed its hooves nervously, as if sensing its owner's mood swings.

Yinreng turned his head and raised his hand to soothe the horse's mane. He murmured in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself again: "Why did it have to be her..."

At this moment, a light laugh came from the wind. It was Mingyu's laugh, like a spring in a deep valley, but it pierced Yinreng's ears like a sharp blade. He subconsciously tightened the reins, and his palms were already painful from overexertion.

This familiar voice belongs to his youth.

But now, her laughter was filled with a different kind of gentleness and warmth, and that gentle affection no longer belonged to him.

A deep feeling of powerlessness swept over him like a tide, and a bitter taste rose in Yinreng's throat. He forced himself to look away, but the image of the two of them cuddling together still emerged in his mind. The girl he had tried to protect had now become the one he could not touch the most.

Yinzhen means to extend blessings and pray for prosperity. This name reflects Kangxi's expectation for Mingyu and the fruit of their love, as well as Yinreng's heart-wrenching pain.

What was the emperor's intention in giving the child such a name? How could Yinreng not understand it?

This is an announcement to the world, a declaration of orthodoxy, and the emperor's affirmation of Mingyu.

Yinreng sighed and turned his horse's head. He rode away, away from the figure that was like the warm sun.

His high boots were embedded in the stirrups, and his hooves crushed the tranquility on the grass, but even so, it could not hide the depression in his heart. He remembered that he had promised Mingyu when he was young that he would protect her for the rest of her life, but now this promise has become a luxury, and he is not even qualified to stand by her side.

"Forget it, since the Emperor has set his sights on Mingyu's child, how can he not fulfill his wish?" Yinreng whispered softly, with a hint of self-mockery on his lips. He knew very well how deep his father's gaze was, and every time it fell on Mingyu, it was always tender and affectionate, which he could not replace.

He pulled the reins and took a deep breath to suppress the strange pain in his chest. He couldn't move or touch anything, because if he touched it, he would be crushed to pieces.

At the same time, Kangxi, who was in a small pavilion in the distance, gently brushed a strand of hair away from Mingyu's ear and whispered with a smile, "How is it that Yu'er, looking at the world and mountains, has nothing to say to me?"

Mingyu raised her eyes, and her clear eyes were like a spring stream, reflecting Kangxi's face. She paused for a moment before collecting her thoughts: "I do feel a sense of emotion in my heart. At this moment, I feel that all the glitz and glamour are not as real as the tranquility of this grassland."

Mingyu gently nestled in Kangxi's arms, feeling the sense of security brought by his broad chest. The breeze blew across the grassland, bringing bursts of grass fragrance, and in the distance, herds of cattle and sheep were leisurely and contented. This peaceful and tranquil scene formed a sharp contrast with the intrigues in the Forbidden City.

"Your Majesty, I have never thought that there is such a peaceful and harmonious place in this world." Mingyu said softly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Kangxi embraced her tenderly and stroked her hair: "I promise you, when the government affairs are less busy in the future, I will take you around to see this beautiful land."

Mingyu felt warm in her heart, and she looked up at Kangxi with tenderness in her eyes: "I am very lucky to have the emperor's love in this life."

Kangxi lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "I am the same."

The two of them sat hugging each other, enjoying this moment of tranquility. The setting sun dyed the sky golden red, shining on the two of them, as if they were coated with a layer of golden light.

In the distance, Crown Prince Yinreng was alone. He saw Kangxi and Mingyu hugging each other from afar, and felt mixed emotions.

He knew he should let go and fulfill their happiness, but he could not let go of the secret love in his heart. He took a deep breath, forced himself not to look at the dazzling scene, and rode in another direction...
