He glared at Mingxiu with some annoyance. Mingxiu looked up at Kangxi with some confusion, wondering what he was angry about this time.

Kangxi walked over, sat down next to Mingxiu, and before he could reach out, he grabbed Mingxiu's waist with his large hand and pulled her up to sit in his lap.

"Look at what you're dressed like. Aren't you afraid someone will come in and see you?"

Mingxiu was speechless, rolling her eyes inwardly, thinking, "Who else but you would just walk in without my permission?"

"Your Majesty, it's hot. Besides, this is the most comfortable thing to wear in this weather. And the people standing outside aren't just sitting around doing nothing; they'll all be watching," Mingxiu said, clinging to Kangxi's shoulder in a coquettish tone.

Kangxi glanced at her, somewhat speechless. "I plan to leave the palace in a few days. It might be a few months. I'll be taking some people with me. I just don't know if someone wants to come."

Mingxiu's eyes lit up and she sat up straight instantly, looking at Kangxi with sparkling eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, you will take me there, won't you?"

With a half-smile, Kangxi said, "I remember someone promised me that they would study hard before they could go out and travel. I wonder how well that person is doing with their studies."

Mingxiu's face stiffened, and she gave an awkward smile. She had indeed been living a comfortable life lately and hadn't done her homework in a long time.

"Your Majesty, please take me with you! I promise I'll study hard during this time. Please feel free to ask me any questions, Your Majesty, and I'll definitely get all the answers!" Mingxiu said confidently, hugging Kangxi's neck and shaking her body.

The movement was too large, and Kangxi's body swayed slightly. He could only helplessly put his arm around Mingxiu's waist to prevent her from falling.

"Then you'd better study hard. If she hasn't studied well when I go out, I won't take her with me."

Mingxiu nodded with a smile, repeatedly assuring everyone that she would definitely study hard.

Only after seeing Kangxi's satisfied expression did she begin to ask, "Your Majesty, where are we headed?"

Kangxi rolled his eyes at her and said, "I plan to go to the south. The palace has been relatively peaceful lately, and there's not much going on. I plan to travel to Jiangnan incognito. Life won't be as comfortable as it is now, so you'd better be prepared."

Mingxiu nodded, thinking to herself how difficult it could be. At most, it would just be about food, lodging, and a carriage. If it were possible, most roads would already be paved with cement, and the Jiangnan region, being more prosperous, should also have paved roads. So there shouldn't be too much of a bumpy ride.

If it's not possible to find accommodation or transportation, she should bring more money; money makes the world go round.

If the Emperor has to go through the trouble of inspections, and she doesn't need to, she can just take some money and have some fun.

Mingxiu nodded, "Then how many people does Your Majesty plan to take with you this time? Let me see what we need to prepare."

"We have already chosen ten days from now to depart. I plan to travel light and simply, taking you, Liang Jiugong, Little Li, two Grand Secretaries, one Imperial Physician, and two maids with you. We will also bring a few attendants," Kangxi said truthfully.

Mingxiu was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Emperor to travel so simply this time.

"Is it really okay to travel like this? There are only a few of us. If something really happens, we might not be able to win. And are we not bringing any insurance this time?"

Mingxiu was a little confused. Were they going to leave Yinreng alone at home?

Kangxi shook his head: "This trip is mainly for incognito visits. It would be inconvenient to bring too many people, so we won't bring that many. Some people will disguise themselves as ordinary citizens and protect us in secret. As for Baocheng, we won't bring him this time either, as he is still too young."

Mingxiu nodded in agreement. Indeed, Yinreng was still young, and it was not safe for him to travel long distances. Moreover, if they took him along but not the other princes, the brothers would start to quarrel.

However, Mingxiu was a little worried about leaving him alone in the palace, and she frowned as she thought about it.

After a while, Mingxiu's brows relaxed. The palace wasn't some dangerous place, and even if she were to travel, the Emperor would definitely make arrangements for the Crown Prince, so there was no need to worry too much. She could just explain it to Yinreng herself.

Mingxiu nodded, somewhat happily considering what she needed to prepare.

If she's going out, she'll definitely need Green Bamboo. As for Yu Qing and Yu Lan, Mingxiu thought about it and decided to stay in Yu Lan's place.

One is her stylist, who is probably her secretary.

Historical records indicate that Emperor Kangxi stayed at the Cao family residence four times during his six southern tours. It is unknown where the emperor will stay this time.

Thinking of this, she remembered "Dream of the Red Chamber," one of the Four Great Classical Novels. She had only read "Dream of the Red Chamber" and had somewhat forgotten which era Cao Xueqin lived in.

I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to meet Cao Xueqin, the author of the timeless masterpiece "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Kangxi told Mingxiu that such a significant matter naturally required compensation; learning was merely a condition for payment, and Mingxiu still needed to contribute. Therefore, that evening, Mingxiu did her utmost to please Kangxi, displaying exceptional enthusiasm that made Kangxi's eyes red.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, when Kangxi left the next day, Mingxiu struggled to turn over, rubbed her aching back, and felt some pain in her private parts.

She curled her lip; this bastard really hadn't eaten meat in ages, he really squeezed her dry last night.

If it weren't for the need to go out and have fun, she wouldn't have let Kangxi do whatever he wanted.

Before leaving the palace, some things needed to be prepared. Mingxiu first called Yinreng into the palace and told him about the trip she was going to take with the Emperor.

Inside Yonghe Palace, Yinreng stared at Mingxiu in disbelief, as if he had been betrayed.
