Even after the third-day celebration, things didn't completely quiet down in Mingxiu's area. There were always some people with ill intentions trying to come, but fortunately, they were mostly kept out by Green Bamboo, which made things easier for Mingxiu.

She couldn't go out herself, but that didn't mean others couldn't come in. Mingxiu lay on the bed, looking at the little figure on the bed with some irritation.

The red marks from when the baby was born have mostly faded, and it's becoming clear that this little one will definitely grow up to be a beauty.

Mingxiu looked at the little boy's long eyelashes with envy, wondering who the child took after. Neither she nor Kangxi had very long eyelashes, but this child's eyelashes were exceptionally long, making him look like a Barbie doll when he blinked.

Of course, this only applies when the child is well-behaved. When the child is naughty, it really drives Mingxiu crazy.

Whenever he was hungry or needed to relieve himself, his cries were deafening, and Mingxiu, who was sleeping in the next room, could hear them clearly.

"It seems she won't be a pushover in the future," said Consort Hui, sitting beside the baby princess in the cradle. She had nothing to do today and came to see Mingxiu, and also to tell her some taboos about postpartum care.

Mingxiu nodded. "Indeed, sister has no idea how difficult it is to raise a child. I've never seen a louder cry than hers. Whenever she cries, the whole Yonghe Palace can hear her." Mingxiu sighed, clearly having been through a lot.

Consort Hui covered her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled softly, "You, where are you going to take this? There's a long life ahead of you. When she's a little older, you'll see that it'll be even more troublesome."

The two sat on the edge of the bed, chatting and laughing. Mingxiu was indeed bored during her postpartum period, and the weather was also a bit hot and humid, making her feel like she was going crazy. Fortunately, someone would come and chat with her from time to time.

I picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped my face and hands, then pulled up my sleeves a little to cool off.

After talking with Consort Hui for a while, Consort Hui went back, leaving Myung-soo alone sitting on the bed watching the baby in the cradle.

Just then, perhaps it was a mother's connection with her child, the little one in the cradle slowly opened her eyes. She could open her eyes now, and Mingxiu didn't know if she could see, but anyway, her big, bright eyes looked around. She didn't cry when she woke up; she just lay there quietly.

"Oh, little Youyou is awake. Why is she being so well-behaved right now?"

Youyou was the nickname Mingxiu gave to the little princess. She didn't have the chance to choose a formal name for her; that would definitely have to be chosen by Emperor Kangxi. So Mingxiu could only choose a nickname for herself first.

As she spoke, Mingxiu gently lifted Youyou out of the cradle and placed her in her arms.

"Do you know who I am? I am your mother! Oh, how cute you are!" Mingxiu said in a high-pitched voice, holding the child in her arms, and occasionally pressing her face against the child to suckle.

She used to not understand why some parents liked to suck their children's nipples, but now Mingxiu feels that she is one of those parents who sucks their children's nipples.

The child smelled wonderfully of milk, and Mingxiu would often want to take a sniff of it.

She occasionally fiddles with Youyou's little hands and feet; she's not a professional human infant quality inspector.

However, even a slight movement would make it noticeable. After turning the child around from top to bottom, Mingxiu continued to interact with the child with satisfaction.

Green Bamboo watched with trepidation, fearing that her mistress might frighten the little princess again.

Mingxiu looked at the child in her arms. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the only child she would ever have.

She already has Baocheng, and now with Chenghuan, that's enough. Anyway, she doesn't want to have any more children.

Remembering the pain she experienced during childbirth, Mingxiu felt she didn't have the courage to go through it again.

Anyway, Kangxi already had enough sons, so one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.

Mingxiu listed Kangxi's sons in detail.

She's currently in her postpartum period, so she's not involved in anything at the palace.

Mingxiu spends her days eating, drinking, and playing with the children; she doesn't do anything else of note.

Mingxiu happily scooped the yogurt from her bowl with a spoon. The palace only had cow's milk or goat's milk, not yogurt, so she had to secretly smuggle the yogurt out from her spatial storage.

Then pour it into a bowl and pretend it's milk.

She was enjoying her meal, but some people couldn't stand seeing her living such a carefree life.

While Mingxiu was still in her postpartum confinement period, Xiaohesheli suddenly paid a visit to Yonghe Palace.

"What is she doing here?" Upon hearing the palace maid's announcement, Mingxiu, who was eating yogurt, frowned slightly.

Since entering the palace, she had not had much interaction with this young Hesheli, and for some reason, this young Hesheli had never been favored by the emperor.

This was the rank of Pingpin, but Mingxiu had only met her a few times, though she did leave a good impression on Mingxiu.

However, since this woman was the Crown Prince's aunt, her status was rather special, so Mingxiu generally avoided meeting her whenever possible.

"Did she say what it was about?" Mingxiu asked helplessly.

"No, it's just that Your Highness is in confinement and came to visit you." Green Bamboo shook her head. She didn't know what Consort Ping, who had a very low profile in the palace, meant.

Mingxiu frowned. Regardless of the reason, since the other party had already come, and said they were just there to visit, she should still see them.

"Let her in."

"This humble servant greets Consort Ming." The weather is hot these days, and Mingxiu didn't expect this person to come. Looking at the person below who was paying respects, she saw that he was wearing a light blue Western-style mansion.

"It's so nice to be small," Mingxiu exclaimed. Little Hesheli's skin was already very fair, and her light blue cheongsam made her look even more radiant and charming. Her face was full of collagen, making her a delight to behold.
