"Mother Consort, you have no idea how miserable I've been lately. Father Emperor has been assigning me so many tasks that I can't possibly finish them all. I'm so dizzy from studying that I've lost my appetite. If it weren't for today, I'd probably still be studying right now."

Mingxiu twitched her lips, thinking to herself, "What's this? You know, back in the day I stayed up all night studying. I was studying like I was going to die. You can't even handle this little bit of work?"

But looking at Yinreng's aggrieved little face, he couldn't say anything.

The Emperor is really something, making a five or six-year-old child learn so much. Isn't he afraid the child won't be able to handle it and will eventually hate learning?

After the two of them wolfed down their meal, they played around in Mingxiu's palace for a while.

After that, people from Consort Hui's palace started looking for him, and Yinti could only pitifully return home.

Mingxiu rolled her eyes as she watched Yinreng blink his big, innocent-looking eyes at her. A few years ago, she would fall for that act, but now she was completely unmoved.

This child always has this expression whenever he gets into trouble, so Mingxiu doesn't want to guess at all.

She walked over to the soft couch next to her and sat down there, continuing to pok and poke at her wool felt.

Yinreng stood to the side and saw that Mingxiu ignored him. Knowing that this trick was not working, he walked a few steps forward with a grin and went to talk to Mingxiu.

"Mother Consort Ming, what are you doing?"

With her sweet voice, Mingxiu surrendered immediately. Ever since Yinreng turned five, she felt like a big kid and rarely acted spoiled anymore.

Turning to look at Yinreng, she put down the needle in her hand and said with a smile, "Tell me, what business have you been busy with this time that you need me to clean up for you?"

Yinreng blinked, his smile growing even sweeter, like a sugar figurine with frosting in its mouth, but the words he spoke were not so pleasant to hear.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that I offended the Grand Tutor, and Father Emperor is angry with me. Consort Ming will go and talk to him."

Mingxiu raised an eyebrow. She remembered that this boy had only recently returned to school, and he had already angered the Grand Tutor.

Moreover, it's quite a spectacle that he can even anger the Grand Tutors. Mingxiu looked at Yinreng without saying a word. Others might not know, but she knew perfectly well that Yinreng had already maxed out the favorability of the Grand Tutors who taught him. The only times the Grand Tutors would defend him or get angry with him were when they did.

Mingxiu was very suspicious.

Judging from the expression on Yinreng's face, he knew that Mingxiu wouldn't help him unless he explained the whole story.

So, feeling wronged, they began to complain.

"Originally, I just wanted to see if Lord Chen could actually hand over the things to me, but who knew that Lord Chen was so easily provoked and so easily angered. I am also very wronged."

Mingxiu's lips twitched. He was still innocent. Let's hear how he tested Lord Chen.

First, he deliberately asked some tricky questions in class to test him. Although Yinreng's mind was somewhat influenced by the system and was a bit unreliable, and combined with modern questions, it was his problem that Lord Chen couldn't answer them, so it didn't matter.

But it wouldn't be appropriate for him to deliberately cause trouble with his friends during class later on.

Furthermore, they even set up traps to make things difficult for Lord Chen; anyone would be angry.

After hearing the whole story, Mingxiu didn't want to say anything or plead for him. She decided to just let it go.

She simply waved for Yinreng to leave. She couldn't help with this matter; she should think of a way to apologize to Lord Chen herself first.

Kids are getting harder to manage as they get older; could this be the start of their rebellious phase?

Mingxiu chased Yinreng out and sat in the room, muttering to herself.

Yinreng looked at the gates of Yonghe Palace but couldn't get in because Xiao Xizi was awkwardly smiling at him from the front, preventing him from entering.

Yinreng pursed his lips, stood there for a while, and then turned around and went back.

He still needs to figure out a solution himself.

Before Yinreng could even come up with a way to apologize to Lord Chen, he was immediately confined by Emperor Kangxi.

When Mingxiu heard the news, she was quite startled and immediately sent people to find out what had happened.

Once I understood why, I wasn't in a hurry anymore.

Anyway, she can't control her own father disciplining his own son.

Moreover, the outcome of this matter is simply that Yinreng apologizes to Lord Chen, and that's it; there will be no further entanglements.

So Mingxiu wasn't worried at all; she just let him settle down in the palace.

Mingxiu nestled comfortably in her sunroom, lost in thought.

Now that the weather is cold, Mingxiu doesn't like to wear too many layers, so she just lit a charcoal fire in the sunroom, and that way she only needs to wear a padded jacket.

It's so comfortable to snuggle up inside, looking at my sketchbook, drinking milk tea, basking in the sun, and occasionally eating fruit.

Green Bamboo and Yu Qing sat quietly embroidering something nearby.

Peaceful and serene.

When Consort Hui arrived, this was the scene she saw: sunlight shone on Mingxiu's profile, and the person on the ground sat quietly, seemingly engrossed in something. The gauze curtain beside her swayed gently in the breeze, making her look like a fairy descending from heaven.

Consort Hui clutched her chest, watching this scene without making a sound for a long time.

When Mingxiu sensed someone in front of her, she looked up and waved to Consort Hui, who then snapped out of her daze.

What could Consort Hui do when she came? Of course, she played mahjong, which was their usual form of entertainment.

Consort Hui walked in and immediately felt the warmth of the sunroom. She instantly fell in love with the place because of its furnishings.

He sighed and wandered around. It was a pity that his palace wasn't big enough; otherwise, he could have prepared something like this. It would have been very comfortable to look at.
