The princesses who received the greeting cards were a little confused, especially the third princess who looked at her mother with the card in her hand, but her eyes still shone with longing. After all, there were few children in the palace and not much entertainment. The third princess really liked the crown prince who gave her the skateboard.

Consort Rong was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected the Crown Prince to invite the princesses, and it seemed that all the children in the palace would be invited. Over the years, in order to take care of the Crown Prince, the Emperor had never allowed him to get close to the people in the harem, and he had always kept him under Kangxi's watchful eye.

I'd only met her before when the Crown Prince gave skateboards to the children in the palace. I didn't know he was so kind-hearted. Consort Rong pondered, looking at her daughter's hopeful eyes, her gaze softening. "Go if you want to. Remember to have your nanny prepare a gift for you to take with you."

The third princess quickly nodded and, accompanied by her nanny, went to find the gifts.

The same situation was playing out among all the children in the palace. After all, the slightly older children had a good impression of the Crown Prince (or younger brother) who brought them the skateboard. Moreover, the Crown Prince was the Emperor's most beloved child, and if they didn't go, no one knew whether the Emperor would be angry.

Yin was still unaware of the thoughts of the various concubines; he was currently in the palace preparing things to entertain the young guests.

Having never had this experience before, Yin was very serious. He even took out all his favorite building blocks and puzzles, which Aunt Mingxiu had recently made for him. He had never been willing to put them together before, so this was a good opportunity for everyone to play together.

He also took out his glass beads and sandbag. Seeing that Yinreng Mingxiu was tired from tidying up but still didn't want anyone's help and insisted on preparing things himself, he felt a little sad. The children in the palace enjoy the best resources in the world. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation are all the best, but they also have to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

After packing up, Yinreng sat outside looking at his cake and a table full of delicious food, staring at the door and waiting for someone to come over.

A voice came from not far away, and Yinreng immediately stood up. It was the eldest prince, Yinzhi. "Brother Baocheng, I'm here!" Yinzhi shouted from afar.

Yinzhi ran up to Yinreng and took out the gift he had prepared for him. "Brother Baocheng, look! This is a gift for you. Do you like it?"

At first glance, it was a small wooden sword with a smooth blade and exquisite decorations, clearly something that Yinzhi liked.

Yinreng nodded, accepted the gift, and led Yinzhi into the house. As soon as they entered, they saw the large cake made by Mingxiu. Yinzhi swallowed hard, pointed at the cake with trembling fingers, and couldn't take his eyes off it. What a beautiful cake!

In fact, Mingxiu has made cakes over the years, but very few of them. Because Yinreng was too young to eat too much cream, she made very few cakes, and half of them were cakes without cream. So Yinzhi only ate them a few times.

Moreover, the cakes I made before were small, so suddenly having such a big cake was quite a shock.

Coming to his senses, he saw that Yinzhi was looking at the cake and pulling Yinreng to wait at the door.

Fortunately, not long after, everyone arrived. Apart from a few who were still drinking milk, the eldest princess Chunxi, the third princess Rongxian, the fourth princess Jingshu, and the fifth princess Duanjing all brought their own gifts. They were all stunned when they entered the room, and then they excitedly circled around the cake, listening to Yinreng describe how delicious it was, as well as the various toys that Yinreng had brought out in advance, and occasionally exclaiming in admiration.

After a while, the Emperor arrived with the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Sumalagu.

The moment they arrived, the previously joyful atmosphere instantly became somewhat tense. Everyone quickly bowed. The Empress Dowager herself was also surprised by the cake when she entered, repeatedly asking what it was and how beautiful it was.

Mingxiu stood to the side, somewhat speechless. Was it really necessary? It was just a cake, and they were all so surprised. Before Mingxiu could even speak, the children started chattering away, making Mingxiu feel embarrassed.

Looking at the princesses and princes in front of him with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, he thought, "Yinreng and Yinzhi are fine, but excuse me, princesses, you've only just heard about this, okay?"

Kangxi watched as Mingxiu twitched his lips, looking speechless. He smiled, took out a gift, and handed it to Yinreng, thus interrupting the praise.

Then came the moment everyone was eagerly anticipating: cutting the cake. Because Yinreng was still too small, Emperor Kangxi helped cut it, and then Yinreng distributed the cake to everyone one by one.

Seeing Yinreng sitting in the middle, his eyes gleaming with laughter, Mingxiu smiled knowingly. She picked up the remaining pieces of cake and was about to leave when a piece of cake was handed to her. It was Kangxi. She was stunned for a moment, and Liang Jiugong took the rest of the cake while Mingxiu was in a daze.

Empty-handed, looking at the cake in front of her, Mingxiu smiled, thanked her, and accepted the cake.

The Empress Dowager's eyes flickered at the sight, but she didn't pay it any mind. Whoever the Emperor liked or wanted to serve him was entirely up to him; she was just a palace maid.

Of course, everyone except the children who were happily eating saw this scene. However, the people in the Qianqing Palace, whether they served the Emperor or the Crown Prince, knew something about it and were not surprised.

They were all quite happy to see it happen.

In fact, Mingxiu had figured it out during this time. Since the emperor was interested in her, she couldn't refuse him. So she might as well be happy with the emperor. Anyway, the emperor was very handsome and suited her taste. She also liked Kangxi, so she wouldn't lose out.

Anyway, as long as she trains Yinreng well, and with the system ensuring that Yinreng won't go astray, that's all that matters.

She was confident that she could seize a high position while she was young and be favored. Not to exaggerate her appearance in this life, although she could not be called a great beauty, she could still be considered a pretty girl. Most importantly, her figure was really well-proportioned, with a full bust and a shapely bottom. Every time she took a bath, she would drool over it. In addition, she often drank spiritual spring water, which made her skin fair and rosy, making her very beautiful.

As long as she fights with the concubines in the harem, as long as she is kind to others and clings to powerful figures, she will definitely be safe and sound.

Thinking this way, Mingxiu lay down and relaxed. She wasn't a strong person, just a lazy bum, so she didn't want to make things difficult for herself.

Once you stop caring about certain things, your mindset changes. For example, Mingxiu is now starting to fantasize about herself and Kangxi.

Hehe, Mingxiu couldn't help but laugh every now and then when she glanced at Kangxi's figure.

Emperor Kangxi got goosebumps watching it.

However, Kangxi could not ask questions on this occasion.

After the meal, the Emperor left with the Empress Dowager and the others, because the children would not feel at ease if they did not leave.

Of course, they didn't forget to cut a big piece of cake for each of them to take with them when they left.

After the elders left, the children finally relaxed. Yin took out his toys and started playing with puzzles and marbles. When they got tired, they ate and drank some pizza and milk tea made by Mingxiu, rested, and then played with beanbags.

It wasn't until nightfall, when everyone was exhausted and fell asleep, that things finally quieted down.
