Yinreng's eyes lit up: "Yes, thank you, Father Emperor. Your son will not let you down."

After saying that, she walked to Kangxi's side with a smile, raised her little hand, and gently massaged Kangxi's back: "Father, I knew you were the best father. I love you the most."

Yinreng boldly expressed his love, a skill he learned from Maomao. Maomao said that if you don't express your love, others won't feel it, so you must say it often.

When Kangxi heard Yinreng loudly proclaim his love for him, he blushed slightly and scolded him irritably: "Alright, you can fool anyone with that mouth of yours every day. Don't you know any shame? Love is not something that can be said so easily. You've all learned bad habits from Mingxiu."

She's the only one in the palace who talks about love and romance all the time; she really needs to be taught something good.

Kangxi shook his head helplessly, but he was still very pleased.

Mingxiu was unaware that she was walking her dog when a huge problem suddenly fell on her.

Mingxiu is currently strolling in the Imperial Garden with her dog, Feifei. Since she said she would take good care of the dog, she naturally intends to keep her word.

So after lunch, I took the dog out. The scenery in the Imperial Garden was magnificent, although many flowers had already stopped blooming, and Mingxiu was already a little tired of walking around.

But it's really good for puppies that are three or four months old.

Mingxiu found it amusing to look at the puppies frolicking not far ahead, still holding their leashes in her hand.

This isn't just any ordinary place; what if the puppy gets carried away and bumps into someone? So Mingxiu was extremely careful and had a leash made to hang on the dog's head.

With Green Bamboo following behind, the two strolled leisurely with their dog.

As she walked ahead, she saw two figures approaching. Mingxiu frowned as the figures drew closer; she knew who they were.

Xiao Hesheli was also granted the rank of Consort Ping as soon as she entered the palace.

Although the two are from the same clan, the relationship between Mingxiu and the main branch of the Hesheli clan has always been quite awkward because of Yinreng.

Later, although this little Hesheli entered the palace, Mingxiu usually only saw her when she paid her respects to the Imperial Noble Consort. However, she never spoke to her after waking up, nor did she come to see Mingxiu. Mingxiu simply pretended that she didn't exist.

But looking at the direction they came from today, it's obvious they came specifically to find me.

Mingxiu frowned as she looked at Lüzhu, who also frowned and looked over, shaking her head slightly.

They've been wandering around here for a while, so it's not difficult for them to know that she's in the Imperial Garden.

As the little Hesheli approached, Mingxiu composed herself and reverted to her previous forced smile.

"This humble servant greets Consort Ming," said Xiao Hesheli, stepping forward to greet Mingxiu.

Mingxiu smiled and nodded, urging everyone to rise: "Rise, little sister. I wonder where you wish to go? I hope I haven't disturbed you."

Little Hesheli stood up with a smile: "No, no, I was just waiting for you here, sister. I'm sorry to have disturbed your fun."

Mingxiu smiled awkwardly, unsure of what to say, and pointed to the pavilion in front of her, saying, "In that case, why don't we sit over there for a while? I've been strolling around for quite a while now and I'm tired."

After saying that, he started walking towards the pavilion.

Little Hesheli quickly followed behind.

Inside the pavilion, which was well-ventilated on all sides and had a lotus pond behind it, Mingxiu gently held the puppy and stroked it slowly, as if she couldn't see anyone in front of her.

After a moment of silence, Little Hesheli couldn't help but speak up: "Sister, don't you want to know why your younger sister came to see you today?"

Mingxiu shook her head, looked up at Xiaohesheli, and said, "Oh, so what brings you here, little sister? I thought you just came to say hello."

Little Hesheli slowly wiped the smile from her lips and said, "Sister, don't worry, I won't do anything. Let the men worry about the family matters. Now that I've entered the palace, I just want to live my life well and see that His Highness the Crown Prince is doing well."

Mingxiu was genuinely surprised. The Hesheli family had never stopped contacting her, but Mingxiu had never paid any attention. When she saw Hesheli sending in a child, she thought they were trying to take Yinreng from her, or perhaps have another child with Hesheli family blood. But now, looking at the expression on this little Hesheli woman's face, it seemed that wasn't the case.

Little Hesheli smiled at Mingxiu's surprised expression, then looked into the distance and remained silent for a while before speaking: "I have known for a long time that I want to enter the palace, and that is my purpose for entering the palace, but I do not want to do it. I have heard about your actions over the years, and I believe you will take good care of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Moreover," said the young Hesheli, smiling mischievously, "I'm afraid my sister doesn't know yet, but Hesheli's people have already gotten close to the Crown Prince, so it's not like they need another woman like me."

Mingxiu blinked. She had heard about this before. Yinreng had told her that he had recently taken on more business and asked his great-uncle, Suo'etu, for help.

However, it was not really clear what exactly happened, but it was definitely permitted by the Emperor, so Mingxiu didn't pay much attention to it.

After speaking, Xiao Hesheli prepared to leave: "Sister, I have said what I wanted to say. I hope you can rest assured and not arrange any more people in my palace. My palace is almost full."

After saying that, he smiled mischievously and took his leave without waiting for Mingxiu to say anything more.

Mingxiu blushed bright red as she stood behind her.

Unexpectedly, what she did had already been discovered. She was worried that she didn't know the purpose of this little Hesheli, so she planted a few people in her palace. Who knew that this would be discovered?

Mingxiu blushed a little. How did she know? Was it that obvious?

Looking at the meaning on her empress's face, Green Bamboo wanted to say something very obvious: "You don't have any connections at all; aren't they all the Emperor's connections?"

But he still didn't say anything.

When Mingxiu emerged from her shy demeanor, Xiao Hesheli was already gone. She sighed softly; in modern times, she would only be a high school student.

She's already the emperor's concubine here, and she still has to plan for her family's affairs. It's really too hard for her.

Imagine if modern children at this age were still carefully asking their parents if they could open a box of milk every day.

I have to hide it from my family even when I eat spicy snacks, I dare not let them know. I just smile like an idiot all day long, my only worry is that studying is too tiring.

Compared to them, modern children are much happier.

After sighing, Mingxiu quickly took Green Bamboo and headed straight for Yuqing Palace, instead of returning to Yonghe Palace. She now knew what that little brat had been up to lately, and why she hadn't known anything about it.
