Mingxiu was taken aback by that look, then smiled and said, "Then thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I will not let you down and will definitely take good care of him."

The Imperial Noble Consort smiled upon hearing this: "Thank you, but I thought I would have to say more. I didn't expect you to agree so readily."

"Your Majesty is joking. As I said, I am kind-hearted. I have always liked Yinzhen very much and am just helping to take care of him. Besides, he is grown up now and doesn't need any special care."

By the time Mingxiu came out of Chengqian Palace, it was already getting dark.

"Your Majesty, shall we go back and see where we are going?" Green Bamboo asked.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Mingxiu suddenly felt a surge of anger inside her, wanting to vent it, but she couldn't find a place to do so, and she felt really uncomfortable holding it in.

"I'm not going back, I'm going to the Qianqing Palace."

Mingxiu had never had any deep contact with the Imperial Noble Consort before, so she didn't have a deep understanding of her. But now that she has suddenly come into contact with her, she feels that the Imperial Noble Consort is really pitiful.

The women in the palace are all so pitiful.

All of this was caused by the feudal ethics of that time. Without them, her life in modern times, while not exactly great, would at least be very free, far better than this.

Mingxiu wanted to talk to someone, so she could only go to Kangxi.

When Mingxiu arrived, Kangxi was still reviewing memorials; there were just too many things to do during that time.

Liang Jiugong was standing outside. When he saw Mingxiu coming, he quickly went in to announce her arrival. By the time Mingxiu reached the door, Liang Jiugong was already inviting her in.

Mingxiu smiled and thanked Liang Jiugong, then saw Kangxi inside.

"Why did you come here today?" Kangxi raised an eyebrow as he looked at Mingxiu, who had previously refused to go out no matter what he was told.

Mingxiu had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with Kangxi: "Your Majesty, I just came from Chengqian Palace."

Emperor Kangxi was taken aback: "Why did you go to Chengqian Palace today?"

Mingxiu walked up and sat on Kangxi's lap, recounting the events of the day. Kangxi's expression was not very pleasant after listening.

"I consulted the imperial physicians about the Imperial Noble Consort's health before, and it was indeed not good. I didn't expect her to start seeking your help now."

"By the way, does the spiritual spring water inside the space have any effect?" he suddenly remembered and asked.

Mingxiu shook her head: "I've tried it before, but it didn't work."

After they finished speaking, they both fell silent, unsure of what to say next.

"Let's do as she wishes. In truth, I am the one who has wronged her. I will visit her more often afterward," Kangxi suddenly said.

Mingxiu nodded. That was also the reason she came today. There were some things that she, as the beneficiary, couldn't say; it was better for Kangxi to say them.

"Although no more people have entered my palace since then, quite a few people have entered before. They are all pitiful. You have many clever ideas, so please help me think of ways to make them as happy as possible."

Mingxiu gave him a sharp look: "Why should I help your own woman?"

Kangxi pinched Mingxiu's little face: "Who am I doing all this for? If you don't help me, who will? Don't you know how to care for me? Stop worrying about the harem. Besides, if I get close to them, you little jealous pot will surely boil over."

“Oh, alright, alright, I’ll help you, really.” Mingxiu was quite helpless. It seemed that ever since the two of them became a couple, this person had a knack for manipulating her. And he always managed to manipulate her perfectly.

Seeing Mingxiu's impatient expression, Kangxi curled his lips and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"Alright, since you're here, stay with me for a while. I hardly ever see you during the day anymore." Kangxi said with a hint of grievance.

The smile didn't disappear, it just shifted. This time it landed on Mingxiu's face. Mingxiu looked at Kangxi with amusement: "What, is Your Majesty about to regret it?"

Unfortunately, Emperor Kangxi rarely visits the inner palace now. He cultivates an image of being detached from worldly desires. When he does go in, it's usually to visit the concubines who have children, and then he either returns to the Qianqing Palace or goes to Mingxiu's Yonghe Palace.

However, because of this, it's not advisable to summon Mingxiu too frequently, nor is it convenient to visit her too often at night. The two of them now mostly meet in the virtual space.

Although we still see each other every day, we don't see each other much during the day.

"What are you saying? My word is my bond. How could I possibly regret it? You, stop picking on my words every day, you know?"

Kangxi pinched Mingxiu's cheek, and Mingxiu pouted and nodded, unable to speak because Kangxi was pinching her cheek.

Kangxi then released Mingxiu's cheek and let her sit beside him to help him grind ink. He was really busy; he had a lot on his plate lately.

Mingxiu sat beside Kangxi, grinding ink for him, then read for a while. After Kangxi finished, she continued grinding ink. She didn't know how much time had passed. When Mingxiu raised her head, which was a little sore, Kangxi was still focused on reviewing memorials. Seeing Kangxi's somewhat tired expression, Mingxiu sighed.

Everyone wants to sit in this position, but only those who are actually in this position know that the experience isn't actually very good.

Mingxiu sat up and stood behind Kangxi, gently pressing his temples: "Take a break, you've been working for too long."

Kangxi was startled when his head was suddenly pressed down. He then leaned back and closed his eyes, letting Mingxiu massage him.

You don't realize how tiring it is until you stop.
