Although Mingxiu was pregnant, she took good care of herself during her pregnancy. In addition, she drank spiritual spring water, so apart from her big belly, only her breasts grew larger. There were no other changes on her body. Moreover, her skin became more delicate and smooth due to the pregnancy.

Her body felt even softer to the touch. In addition, after Mingxiu became pregnant, Kangxi often came to visit her and spent less time in other palaces. Moreover, the other palaces always felt different from Mingxiu's palace.

So I always just rush through things, and it's been a long time since I've felt this excited.

The two of them wanted it so badly that they soon got into a fight, but Kangxi was still worried about Mingxiu's belly and was afraid of hurting the baby.

More than anything, it was to make Mingxiu happy, so they only did it once and were ready to stop.

Unexpectedly, Mingxiu grumbled and complained, clinging to Kangxi's neck with her little hands and refusing to let go.

"Your Majesty, please kiss my beloved, please kiss my beloved."

Kangxi was somewhat exasperated by Mingxiu's nagging, but with her large belly, he dared not go too far, so he could only use his hands to give Mingxiu complete pleasure.

After the passion subsided, Mingxiu came to her senses and, reflecting on her behavior, felt ashamed and couldn't lift her head.

Good heavens, what was she doing just now? How embarrassing!

Mingxiu buried her face in Kangxi's arms. Kangxi looked at Mingxiu's shy appearance and reached out to pinch her cheek. "Now you feel embarrassed? I don't know who was pestering me just now, no matter how much I pleaded, they wouldn't let go."

Mingxiu patted Kangxi's chest somewhat embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, please don't say anymore."

Kangxi laughed even harder at Mingxiu's appearance, his chest heaving up and down. Mingxiu, who was already lying on Kangxi's chest, was annoyed by his laughter.

She raised her hand and gently pinched his chest.

Satisfied to hear a muffled groan, he finally put it down.

Kangxi looked at the little girl in his arms, somewhat speechless. The sage was right after all; it really is difficult to raise a little girl and a little boy.

The weather was clear and cloudless that day.

Mingxiu sat in the palace, looking at the scenery outside, feeling a little bored. She hadn't felt like playing mahjong lately. Looking at the red bricks and green tiles outside, Mingxiu suddenly remembered the sweet potatoes she used to eat when she was a child, working in the fields with her grandparents in her hometown.

She was little then. She went to the fields with her grandparents and dug up a sweet potato. Her grandfather would peel it and let her eat it raw.

Her family grows the yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes, which are very sweet even when eaten raw, and she always loves them.

Then, when they get home, they'll roast sweet potatoes in the stove where they burn firewood.

The roasted sweet potatoes were so fragrant and sweet. Although my hands were always covered in black soot after eating them, the happiness back then was so simple.

Thinking of this, Mingxiu asked Green Bamboo to fetch some sweet potatoes to roast.

Green Bamboo was sitting next to her embroidering the young mistress's clothes when she suddenly heard her mistress's whimsical idea of ​​eating roasted sweet potatoes.

He hurriedly went to the imperial kitchen and got a few roasted sweet potatoes.

The imperial kitchen now only has white sweet potatoes, which are definitely not as sweet as the yellow-fleshed kind, but they're still pretty good.

Mingxiu simply had someone put it in the stove in the small kitchen to bake.

Everyone was happy to obey their mistress's orders, and the roasted sweet potatoes were ready in no time.

Mingxiu looked excitedly at the dark roasted sweet potato, rubbed her hands together, and asked Lvzhu to get her one.

With a gentle break, the sweet potato inside is revealed, white and tender, as if you can see the juice inside.

Mingxiu took a small bite; the taste was sweet and seemed similar to the taste in her memory.

He ate half of it with satisfaction, and soon his hands were covered in black soot.

After Mingxiu finished eating, she stretched out her arms and looked at her two pitch-black hands. The more she looked, the happier she became. She didn't know why, but in the end, she chuckled.

The servants nearby were puzzled when they saw their mistress laughing for no apparent reason.

When Kangxi came, he saw Mingxiu smiling foolishly.

He said happily, "What are you doing? Why are you laughing so happily?"

When Mingxiu saw Kangxi arrive, she excitedly showed him her dark little hands: "Your Majesty, please look at my hands."

Kangxi immediately understood what was going on when he looked at the side.

"You said you wanted roasted sweet potatoes, why didn't you have someone clean them for you? This is dirty."

Mingxiu disagreed, saying, "You only truly appreciate roasted sweet potatoes when you eat them yourself. You don't get the same feeling when someone else makes them for you."

Although Kangxi did not approve, he didn't say anything because he saw Mingxiu's happy expression.

Oh well, as long as she's happy with her pregnancy, that's all that matters.

"Alright, you've finished eating. Get up and take a short walk," Kangxi said helplessly as he walked up to Mingxiu.

Mingxiu nodded and stretched out her hands in front of Kangxi. Kangxi looked at her dark hands and then at the wet towel that Green Bamboo had handed over.

Resigned, she took the wet towel from Green Bamboo's hand and wiped Mingxiu's hands clean.

Mingxiu looked up at Kangxi with a silly smile.

After wiping his hands, Kangxi handed the towel to Lüzhu, and then took Mingxiu's hands and pulled her up from the chair.

Mingxiu's belly was already quite large. Kangxi put one arm around Mingxiu's waist, and the two of them slowly strolled around the courtyard.

This is a new exercise that Mingxiu has recently started. She herself is not very keen on taking walks. Although she knows that it is better to exercise when she has a baby, she is lazy. In addition, with the spiritual spring water, she usually only takes a walk when she feels like it, and doesn't take one when she doesn't feel like it.

However, after Emperor Kangxi learned that it was good for pregnant women to move around often, he frequently asked Mingxiu to get up and move around more. But Mingxiu always did it sporadically, and the palace servants at Yonghe Palace couldn't persuade her to stop.
