That's good, anyway. Consort Hui probably didn't say anything bad about Yinzhi, otherwise Yinzhi wouldn't have genuinely liked Yinreng.

Children's emotions are very simple, and Mingxiu believed she had that much insight.

And even if there is a problem, there's no need to worry. The system has a minor protection mode, so it's still very useful if there's a real issue.

Mingxiu still needs to prepare some new food in the palace. In a while, it will be Yinreng's third birthday. In this life, because of Mingxiu's intervention, the Empress died the day after giving birth to Yinreng, so Yinreng's birthday must be celebrated. This can be considered to make up for the regret that Yinreng did not celebrate his birthday in the previous life. Moreover, in this life, Yinreng will no longer be burdened with the reputation of being a mother-killer.

When Yinreng returned at noon, Mingxiu saw a small animal flying next to him.

Mingxiu's eyes widened. Good heavens, what is this? A round head, a round body, big dark circles under its eyes, and a snow-white body—isn't this a panda? But what kind of panda has wings?

With its round body and tiny wings, Mingxiu felt a little scared watching it fly. Could those wings really carry it?

Watching Gun Gun throw a tantrum in front of Yin Reng, Ming Xiu twitched her lips. She couldn't bear to look at him. Was it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality that had turned the adorable Gun Gun into this state?

Mingxiu couldn't hear what it was saying, but she felt it wasn't anything good.

It was a bit of a slap in the face, and Mingxiu felt a little helpless. This system seemed really unreliable.

Thankfully, it wasn't given to Emperor Kangxi, otherwise...

Thinking of that scene, Mingxiu's lips curled into a smirk.

Yinreng's birthday in March hasn't arrived yet, but a happy event has occurred in the palace.

The youngest prince of Consort Ma Jia has recovered from his illness.

Seeing that Yin was still grinning foolishly after hearing the news and said he wanted to go play with his younger brother, Mingxiu shook her head.

I wonder how many more sets of porcelain will be broken in this palace.

I wonder how much porcelain the Imperial Household Department loses each month.

Yinzhi was seriously ill some time ago, and the emperor thought he wouldn't survive. Unexpectedly, he survived and is in good health.

However, Yinzhi came from a good family. Perhaps because the Crown Prince was raised by Consort Rong for a period of time when he was young, the Crown Prince and Yinzhi had a good relationship. In the end, when Yinreng was deposed, it was only Yinzhi who pleaded for him.

Ma Jia was also a pitiful person. She gave birth to five sons and one daughter in total, but in the end, she only managed to raise one son and one daughter.

Princess Rongxian was also well-mannered and had a gentle personality. She often played skateboarding with Yinreng and the others and took good care of her younger brother.

However, since the Third Prince has already been born, the Fourth Prince can't be far behind, right?

She disliked Wuya Mingxiu very much, but Yinzhen Mingxiu liked her very much. It's a pity that Yinzhen eventually died of exhaustion in front of his desk.

So, causing some trouble for the Uya clan shouldn't be a problem as long as it doesn't affect Yinzhen's birth.

Mingxiu's eyes flickered. She remembered that corruption seemed to be quite serious in the Imperial Household Department. Wasn't Uya a member of the Imperial Household Department?

Let's find an opportunity to confirm this.

Mingxiu's plan to evade Emperor Kangxi was aborted before it even began.

After that night in the Imperial Study, Mingxiu was still a bit wary and thought about keeping her distance from Kangxi.

Before she could even begin, Emperor Kangxi was already too busy to visit the inner palace.

Mingxiu was a little disappointed. After all, a very handsome guy came to flirt with her, but then stopped halfway through, leaving her in an awkward situation.

When you're in a bad mood, you have to find ways to make yourself feel better, so Mingxiu started a new invention.

Gomoku (Five in a Row)

Taking out the newly crafted tools, Mingxiu started looking for someone to bully, and the first person she approached was naturally Yinreng.

The fun of stomping noobs comes from starting with the most inexperienced ones.

So when Mingxiu saw Yin, who was frowning and hesitant to put down his chess piece, she felt strangely relieved.

She completely disregarded the fact that the child in front of her was not even three years old.

Yin still looked up at Mingxiu. "Aunt Mingxiu, are you feeling better?"

Mingxiu was taken aback, then touched her face. "Was it that obvious before?"

Yin nodded. Actually, he didn't notice it at first. It was Gun Gun (the system) who told him that Aunt Mingxiu was unhappy. He observed for a while before he realized it.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I'm in a very good mood now." Mingxiu was somewhat moved, realizing that raising the child hadn't been in vain.

As for whether it's her own child or not, it doesn't matter, she's a fan of Yinreng anyway.

"Your Highness, do you know how to make people happier?" Seeing Yinreng shake his head, Mingxiu continued with a smile, "It's about building your own happiness on the happiness of others. For example, right now, Your Highness, your pawn hasn't been placed yet."

Yin was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened when he realized what had happened.

He stopped playing, put away the chess pieces, took them and left, ignoring Mingxiu completely.

Mingxiu didn't say anything, but smiled and told him to come back early that night.

As for what Yinreng did...

Yinreng: Of course, just like Aunt Mingxiu, he also wants to go and crush the weak.

So Yinreng went to Yanxi Palace, intending to find his elder brother to torment him, or rather, to have some fun.

So when Kangxi finished all his business and was about to have a meal with his beloved son and maybe even rekindle his relationship with Mingxiu, Mingxiu had already adjusted her mindset and started avoiding Kangxi.

Kangxi stared at the woman in front of him with a dark expression, not even glancing at him.

They simply cornered the person inside the house.

After coaxing Yinreng to sleep, Kangxi gestured for Liang Jiugong to leave and turned to look at the woman behind him.

"What, are you avoiding me?" Kangxi took a deep breath.

Mingxiu froze. "Your Majesty, no, it's just that this servant has been quite busy."

Kangxi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

He grabbed Mingxiu by the waist and held her tightly in his arms.

A strong hand clasped behind her head, and lips sealed her mouth, leaving her unable to resist.

Mingxiu's eyes widened in surprise. All her struggles and resistance were ineffective. It took her a while to realize this fact. Somewhat resigned, she stubbornly stood still, ignoring him. The long, deep kiss lasted a very long time, so long that Mingxiu thought she might be the first person to suffocate from kissing.

A soft chuckle reached her ear. "Remember to breathe, silly girl." Before Mingxiu could react, another tender kiss landed. Those lips moved from her lips to her ear, gently licking and biting, carefully controlling their depth as they moved downwards. Her soft earlobe and a section of her neck became his possession, allowing him to tease her at will.

It took a long time before she let go, and Mingxiu's face, neck, and ears were all completely red.

"Let me tell you, I've taken a liking to you. You are my woman. Don't give me any nonsense. You are destined to be my woman for life. Do you understand?" Kangxi's slightly deep voice echoed in her ears as he stroked Mingxiu's fair and tender cheek, carrying a hint of desire. His eyes revealed an undisguised danger and possessiveness.

He forced Mingxiu to nod before releasing her with satisfaction.

P.S.: Happy Children's Day! Did everyone eat candy?
