Chapter 130 A Private Visit (Part 3)

Once it dries, you can press it inside a book as a bookmark, which looks quite nice.

After arranging the flower basket, Mingxiu looked outside with little interest.

Although it's great to go out and have fun, the car ride is still very uncomfortable.

The journey was quite boring. Today, Mingxiu specially changed into a light yellow Hanfu before leaving the palace, and simply put a hairpin in her hair, without making things too complicated.

She placed her head on Kangxi's lap and opened the box, which contained some dried fruit and dried meat that she had prepared herself.

Kangxi was reading a book when he suddenly felt a weight on his leg. When he looked down, he was met with Mingxiu's smiling face.

He smiled helplessly, reached out and tapped her forehead, adjusting his position to make Mingxiu more comfortable.

Sensing that Kangxi was shifting his position, Mingxiu smiled even more happily and put the candied fruit in her hand into Kangxi's mouth.

The two of them sat and lay down, doing their own things. After a while, Mingxiu got a little tired, closed her eyes, and wrapped her arms around Kangxi's waist, preparing to rest for a while.

The road is all cement. Although there is no rubber yet, it's not very wobbly to walk on, but the wobbling is not significant and it's quite comfortable.

Mingxiu quickly fell asleep. Kangxi, who was reading, was also feeling sleepy after being influenced by Mingxiu.

He put down his book, leaned against the carriage wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage was quiet, and no one knew how much time had passed.

Tong~~

With a series of noises, Kangxi, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly startled and opened his eyes abruptly, only to see Mingxiu sitting on the ground at some unknown time.

Her little face scrunched up as she rubbed her head.

It took a moment to realize that Mingxiu had somehow fallen to the ground, and the sound just now was the sound of her falling.

Kangxi was somewhat helpless. He picked up Mingxiu and prepared to comfort her, wondering why her sleeping posture was so bad every day.

As soon as he picked her up, he saw Mingxiu rub her head and then fall asleep again on Kangxi's lap.

Looking at Mingxiu, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, Kangxi felt a wave of exasperation washing over him.

It's hurting so much, and you still haven't woken up. Are you that sleepy?

Hearing Mingxiu start snoring softly, Kangxi pinched her little nose, feeling both annoyed and amused.

They only released her nose when Mingxiu protested slightly in her sleep.

This time, however, he couldn't fall asleep again. He reached out and gently wrapped his arm around Mingxiu's waist to prevent her from falling again.

With his other hand, he casually picked up the book he had just been reading.

When Mingxiu opened her eyes again, she stared blankly at the tight and exquisite fabric in front of her, somewhat unaware of what day it was.

The official road was flat, with a slight sway, but not a serious one, like a lullaby.

Mingxiu was a little confused and gently poked the fabric in front of her with her finger.

Suddenly, a large hand reached out from the side and grabbed Mingxiu's hand. A voice came from above Mingxiu's head: "If you're awake, sit up properly. What are you doing?"

Kangxi's helpless voice rang out from above.

Mingxiu then realized where she was.

He sat down from Kangxi's lap, scratched his itch slightly, and suddenly felt a headache coming on, so he rubbed his head.

He looked at Kangxi with some doubt.

Emperor Kangxi was holding a cup of tea and drinking it when he saw Mingxiu's actions, and he pursed his lips slightly.

Mingxiu stared blankly at Kangxi for a long time before finally saying, "Your Majesty, why does my head hurt so much? Did you secretly hit me while I was sleeping?"

Mingxiu squinted and said with a somewhat unfriendly look.

Kangxi's lips twitched, somewhat speechless: "Nonsense, I don't know who it was, sleeping soundly, suddenly fell off the ground, and even after such a loud noise, they didn't wake up, climbed back up and continued sleeping."

"You've prevented me from getting a proper rest, I was always afraid that person would suddenly fall down while I was asleep, and now, after waking up, you're blaming me."

Mingxiu smiled somewhat awkwardly, roughly understanding the cause of the pain in her head.

She has always been a restless sleeper, but she had never fallen off the bed before. I never expected her to fall off the carriage.

Mingxiu smiled awkwardly and rubbed her still aching head.

Seeing Mingxiu's expression, Kangxi said nothing more, but glanced at her and picked up the teacup on the table to pour her a cup of water.

Mingxiu took the cup. She had indeed taken a nap and felt quite thirsty, so she put it to her lips and gulped down several mouthfuls.

I finally felt myself recover.

Kangxi looked at her with a hint of helplessness.

Mingxiu also felt Kangxi's gaze, but she didn't care. In the palace, one had to be careful at all times. Now that she was out, there were no rules to follow. She didn't want to follow any rules.

After finishing his water, he placed the teacup on the table, raised his chin, nodded towards Kangxi, and gestured for him to pour him another cup of water.

As Kangxi watched the woman in front of him grow bolder, he wondered what she was thinking, and his eyes became somewhat enigmatic.

Mingxiu felt a little guilty when she saw Kangxi's gaze and shrank back, just about to go get some water herself.

Emperor Kangxi had already reached out and poured her a cup of water.

Mingxiu picked up her teacup and took two gulps to cover up her actions. Just as she took the two gulps, she felt the carriage suddenly stop.

She was caught off guard; she had only been sitting on the bench in the carriage, seemingly unprepared.

Now, with that sudden forward lean, the tea instantly soaked her clothes.

Mingxiu quickly glanced at her chest. The Hanfu she was wearing could be layered with two outer garments: one was ordinary silk, and the other was the one she had changed into when she boarded the carriage, which was what she was wearing now—a feathered outer garment.

Mingxiu really liked this coat, but she never had a chance to wear it. This time, she put it on in the carriage, but she didn't expect that the feathers would be wet and sticking to her body.

Mingxiu touched her clothes with a little heartache, but thankfully it was just some tea stains that could be dried in the sun.

She looked at Kangxi with a hint of resentment, while Kangxi looked at Mingxiu's clothes, which were soaked with sweat, and felt somewhat innocent.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard a voice from outside, "Master, we have arrived at our destination."

As we traveled, the population gradually thinned out after leaving the capital, but now it's getting more and more crowded.

Upon hearing the sound, Mingxiu immediately forgot her awkward mood and excitedly lifted the curtain to look outside. Sure enough, there were more and more people outside.

Before he could see clearly, Emperor Kangxi suddenly pulled him back.

He looked at Kangxi, who had dragged him back, with some annoyance.

Kangxi's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at Mingxiu with a frown and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes. What kind of appearance is this?"

Mingxiu glanced at him speechlessly. It was just that his clothes were a little wet. What did it matter? He couldn't see anything anyway.
