Mingxiu was happy to see her so happy. She hadn't taken her with her when she went out before. It wasn't that Mingxiu didn't care, but the child was too young and it wasn't safe to take her out, so she had to leave her in the palace.

Now everyone can go out together.

However, there is one thing: Yinreng cannot go out this time; he can only stay at home to help Kangxi with matters.

Kangxi also specially kept Yinzhi behind, which can be considered as leaving a brother for Yinreng, and then took away the third, fourth and fifth princes.

It's time to let these little ones go out and see the world.

Emperor Kangxi actually only wanted to bring Mingxiu along, but Mingxiu considered that everyone was also eager to go out, so she asked Kangxi to bring Consort Rong and Xiao Hesheli as well. As for Consort Hui, she personally came to him.

"Thank you so much, sister. If it weren't for you speaking up for us, we probably wouldn't have been able to get out." Consort Rong was overjoyed when she learned that she could go out with them, and she quickly came to thank Mingxiu.

"Yes, yes, thank you so much, sister. I haven't been out of the palace since I entered it. This time, I really have to thank you for your blessing." Little Hesheli was also very happy, never expecting that she would have the chance to leave the palace.

Mingxiu's ears turned slightly red. "There's nothing to thank me for. We're all sisters, it's only right. But, Consort Hui, are you really not going out this time?" Mingxiu asked Consort Hui, who was sitting next to her.

Consort Hui smiled, though her face showed regret. Leaving the palace was such a rare opportunity, but she had more important matters to attend to. So she shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister, but I really don't have time this time. Baoqing is getting married soon. Although the Imperial Household Department is responsible for most of the preparations, I can't just leave everything unprepared. There are many things I need to oversee. Besides, this is a good opportunity to let the two children develop their relationship."

She only has this one child in her life, and now that her child is getting married, how can she not be by his side for such an important occasion? So she has no choice but to stay home for the time being.

Mingxiu and the other two nodded in agreement. Indeed, marriage is a major life event, and it's understandable that Consort Hui wanted to stay by her side to keep an eye on things.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Consort Hui to handle palace affairs with Consort Wenxi during this time. If you're still unsure, just go to the Imperial Noble Consort." Mingxiu naturally had to hand over the arrangements before leaving the palace.

Mingxiu originally wanted to hand the matter over to the Imperial Noble Consort so she could handle it, but to her surprise, the Imperial Noble Consort pushed the matter back directly, saying that she could handle it herself.

What could Mingxiu do? There was nothing she could do but delegate the tasks.

In other words, after there were fewer people in the palace, things became much less hectic. In addition, Mingxiu later introduced a reward and punishment system, where anyone who worked hard could be rewarded.

They also added a lot of recreational activities in the palace, which made everyone's lives quite comfortable.

So the palace is now quite quiet.

Mingxiu had everything arranged. As for who Kangxi was taking with him from the previous dynasty, Mingxiu didn't care. Anyway, Hesheli Jiahui wouldn't be among the people he was taking this time, since he was still in the coastal area and hadn't returned.

On the day of departure, everyone packed their things early. Mingxiu stood in front of the carriage, with Chenghuan looking excited beside her.

Ahead of them was Yinreng with a wronged expression. Mingxiu looked at Yinreng helplessly and said, "Alright, since your father has put you in charge of the overall situation in the palace, you should stay here and behave yourself. We will bring you gifts when we come back."

“Yes, bring a gift. Don’t worry, brother. This time it’s Chenghuan’s turn to bring you a gift. Chenghuan will definitely prepare it well.” Chenghuan chimed in from behind. Before, it was always her brother, the Crown Prince, who went out to bring her gifts. This time it was finally her turn, and she would definitely remember to help bring a gift.

Yinreng's lips twitched when he heard Chenghuan's words. Did he want gifts? He wanted to leave the palace. He didn't want to stay in the palace alone. He wanted to go out and have fun too.

Yinreng was inwardly crying, but his face remained expressionless as he looked at Chenghuan's childlike words: "Okay, then the Crown Prince will wait in the palace for Chenghuan to come back and bring me a gift."

Cheng Huan nodded happily. Ming Xiu looked at the two of them with amusement, and finally got into the carriage. Looking at the Forbidden City getting further and further away, Ming Xiu felt much happier.

Now I truly understand the value of the saying, "Life is precious, love is more precious, but freedom is the most precious of all."

Although she hadn't reached the point where she would give up everything for freedom, the feeling she had was truly wonderful.

Mingxiu and Chenghuan were sitting in a carriage. Chenghuan was young and it was her first time leaving the palace, so she was very excited. She happily clung to the window, her big eyes rolling around.

Mingxiu shook her head, moved aside to make room for her, and read in the corner herself. Apart from asking Chenghuan not to stick her head out, she didn't bother her anymore. Let her do whatever she wanted.

After a while, Mingxiu started to feel carsick. It was probably because she had been looking down at something too intently, so she felt uncomfortable. Even though she rarely got carsick after going up onto the cement floor, this was really unpleasant. Mingxiu sat weakly on the sofa, feeling like she was going to vomit. Chenghuan was still excited next to her. Fortunately, it was soon time for dinner, and everyone stopped. Mingxiu left Chenghuan in the carriage and had Yuqing and Yulan accompany her to Kangxi's carriage.

After walking around for a while and breathing in some fresh air, Mingxiu felt much better.

Later, Consort Rong and her daughter also went outside for some fresh air, probably because they found it refreshing.
