The three of them ate happily, and the dishes on the table were gradually consumed.

The three of them finally got off the table with their bellies bulging. Seeing that they had finished eating, Green Bamboo quickly brought out some hawthorn digestive pills from the side and gave them to them.

The three of them didn't object; they had indeed eaten quite a lot today.

After dinner, he let Chenghuan go play with her girlfriends, while he led Yinreng and Luzhu to a table for a game of mahjong.

The fight lasted until dinner time. After Yinreng finished his dinner and spent some time playing and bonding with Chenghuan and her brother, Mingxiu let Yinreng go home.

Inside Chengqian Palace.

Yinzhen sat down next to the Imperial Noble Consort with a worried expression, eating while listening to her speak with a serious face.

"Eat more of this. This fish was made according to Consort Jia's secret recipe. It's sweet and sour and tastes very good. You should eat more meat. I don't know who taught you to do this. You're so young and you don't like to eat meat. Be careful you don't grow tall later." The Imperial Noble Consort lovingly served food to Yinzhen.

His face was pale, a color that even makeup couldn't conceal. Yinzhen nodded obediently, and although his face remained expressionless, he still obediently took the meat and began to eat.

"Your Majesty, please eat more. Eating more will help you recover." Yinzhen, with a sinister expression, also served food to the Imperial Noble Consort.

The Imperial Noble Consort smiled and nodded at the obedient Yinzhen, then lowered her head and began to eat.

The palace maid standing behind, watching this scene, secretly wiped away her tears. It was truly fortunate that the Fourth Prince was there; at least the Empress had someone to care about. She knew the Empress's health very well; if it weren't for her concern for Yinzhen, she would have collapsed long ago.

After having dinner with the Imperial Noble Consort, Yinzhen sat quietly beside her for a while before leaving.

The Imperial Noble Consort watched Yinzhen's departing figure, her eyes filled with reluctance. This child had been with her since birth, and for so many years, she had raised him to adulthood.

Yinzhen was already her child, but now her health is probably failing, and Yinzhen is still very young. What will he do if she really passes away?

Mingxiu's busiest time of the year has begun again. This year, the Imperial Noble Consort is not in good health, so the tasks have been assigned to several concubines and two Noble Consorts. Mingxiu does not like complicated matters, so she only accepted the New Year's arrangements.

It mainly involves arranging activities and setting up scenes, which Mingxiu is already used to.

However, the Imperial Noble Consort is in poor health this year, so the main person in charge can only be chosen from Consort Mingxiu and Consort Wenxi.

Although both were imperial concubines, Mingxiu was more qualified and popular, and she also had the experience from last year, so she deservedly got the position of the main person in charge.

Of course, she was very reluctant, but she couldn't resist their persistent persuasion, and in the end, Mingxiu could only agree with tears in her eyes.

The good thing is that everyone has gotten used to handling official business over the past few years, so there's not much to say. Everyone knows what they need to do and doesn't need Mingxiu to give orders. Otherwise, she feels she really can't handle it.

The Empress Dowager passed away this year. The Empress Dowager was not one to manage affairs, and aside from paying respects to Mingxiu, she had no contact with her.

She's big but not difficult to get along with, so Mingxiu arranged things the same way as before this year.

We created several new programs, some regular programs, and then there were various games and activities, as well as stalls selling things.

Anyway, Mingxiu was really annoyed during the previous Chinese New Year, so he decided to do it the new way. The games and activities were all slightly modified by Mingxiu based on some games he had played in the modern world.

In addition, Mingxiu directly let everyone set up their own stalls according to the palace, deciding what to sell, since everyone usually likes to play the game of setting up stalls.

The items shouldn't be too valuable. Palace maids and eunuchs can also store things, make their own things, or buy things from outside to sell. As long as they can sell them, that's fine. That's what this activity is all about.

Then everyone can buy what they like. The main purpose is to let the noble young ladies in the palace know the market prices outside, so that they won't be cheated when they go out to buy things. They have never spent much money since they were young, and Mingxiu doesn't want to be sold a candied hawthorn for one or two taels of silver.

This is both fun and engaging, keeping everyone interested and involved, preventing them from being idle, and also allowing those who are not very wealthy to supplement their household income.

Of course, Mingxiu wouldn't miss such an opportunity, and she pulled the people from Yonghe Palace to make a lot of food, drinks, and entertainment.

She made spicy strips, French fries, potato chips, fried chicken, pizza, and even fruit tea and milk tea.

Anyway, she has fruit trees in her palace, so she has no shortage of fruit and can earn a lot of money in a day.

Especially spicy strips and fried chicken; once you've tried them, you can't help but love them.

Mingxiu's spicy snack business is so booming that they can't keep up with the demand.

When everyone is tired of playing, they can go buy some food. On New Year's Day, all the children will have money in their hands, so that they can learn the meaning of money while having fun.

The banquet was very large, as not only the women of the inner palace attended, but also the families of the ministers.

Fortunately, we don't all have to be together all the time, so there's no need for someone to keep an eye on us all the time.

As long as someone was watching to keep things from getting chaotic, Mingxiu had also placed signs in various locations so that everyone could go wherever they wanted. The entire route was brightly lit, and everyone had a great time.

Mingxiu didn't have to watch over things all the time. She let everyone take turns setting up stalls, giving them time to play and time to make money. She ate and drank everywhere and played several games.

Several of the games were created by the little princesses and princes themselves.

Business is quite good.

Mingxiu also contributed her share.

They contributed significantly to their careers.

Then, after everyone has eaten, drunk, and had their fill of fun, they go to see a show together, and then have dinner together in the evening.

That day has successfully come to an end.

Everyone was very happy at the end of the day. Mingxiu stood to the side, looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, and nodded.

As expected of her, she did a really good job.

After everything was over, Mingxiu took Chenghuan back home.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was the 28th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. Mingxiu had already lived here for more than ten or even twenty years.
