That day, Mingxiu sat on a stool with her legs crossed, holding a drink in her hand, seemingly lost in thought, glancing occasionally at Green Bamboo who was busy inside the hall.

Green Bamboo naturally felt Mingxiu's gaze, but since Mingxiu didn't speak, Green Bamboo pretended not to know. However, now that the Empress was going too far, Green Bamboo couldn't pretend not to know anymore.

have no choice!

Green Bamboo got up and walked to Mingxiu's side.

Mingxiu:? ? ?

"Your Highness, you can say whatever you want to say. I feel very uncomfortable looking at me like that." Green Bamboo looked helplessly at Mingxiu, who was frightened by her words.

"Ah, haha, is that so?" Mingxiu was a little embarrassed, put her legs down and looked at Lüzhu. "So that means I want to ask you what your feelings are for my brother."

Green Bamboo: Ah, feelings? What feelings could there be?

"What does Your Highness mean by that? This servant doesn't quite understand."

Since things have come to this point, there's no point in hiding anything. Mingxiu asked directly and bluntly, "I just want to ask if you like my younger brother. He likes you quite a bit. If you like him too, I can issue an imperial decree to grant you both a marriage."

Green Bamboo's eyes widened: "Does he like me?"

!!

Mingxiu looked at the green bamboo and felt that this matter had a chance.

"Yes, he said it himself, how could you think he doesn't like you?"

Green Bamboo looked somewhat bewildered and shook her head: "It's nothing, but Your Majesty, I don't know how I feel right now."

“My parents died when I was young, and I was raised by relatives, but they were really not good to me. Before I entered the palace, I had never eaten a hot meal, and I didn’t have warm clothes in winter. One time, they asked me to go out to buy something, but I fainted because it was so cold outside. When I woke up, I was already in the guard camp. Although it was very hard after I entered, and I had to learn a lot and go on missions to kill people, I was able to eat and dress warmly, and I even had friends. Although they were just nodding acquaintances, I still had some. Later, the emperor asked me to protect the empress, and I realized that life could be so wonderful.” After Green Bamboo finished speaking, the room fell into a quiet silence.

Mingxiu looked at her with teary eyes.

“But Your Majesty, I don’t really understand what liking someone means, I don’t know how I feel, and I don’t want to leave you, to leave Yonghe Palace.” Green Bamboo looked at Mingxiu.

Mingxiu smiled and said, "Even if you get married, it doesn't mean you're leaving. You can come to the palace to see us again later. Besides, we need to figure out whether you like someone or not first."

Green Bamboo looked at her with a puzzled expression. This was something she really didn't know. She only knew how to take care of others and judge things based on the knowledge she had learned, but she really didn't understand her own feelings: "Then how do you know that?"

kindness!

"Okay, let me ask you if you were very happy when you were with Jiahui, if you felt that time flew by, and if you would miss him if you didn't see him for a long time."

Green Bamboo pondered for a moment, then nodded. She was indeed very happy when she was with him, and she often thought about him after returning home. So this is what love is.

When Mingxiu saw Lüzhu nod, she clapped her hands and said, "That's it! So you like him. Alright, you don't need to worry about anything else. We'll arrange a marriage for you. You just need to wait for the wedding."

Mingxiu's wedding banquet was a disaster; the men weren't good enough, which was perfect since it would solve the marriage problems of the two people around her.

Green Bamboo was stunned and stammered, "It's decided already? So fast? Don't we need to wait? Besides, although I serve Your Highness, I'm still a member of the Imperial Guard. I don't think His Majesty will agree to this."

Mingxiu: "? Is that so? It's alright, don't worry about it. I'll go and tell the Emperor."

Mingxiu simply waved her hand and took on the entire responsibility.

Then she excitedly changed her clothes and went to the Qianqing Palace. Inside the Qianqing Palace, when Kangxi heard Mingxiu's purpose, his eyes twitched.

"Aren't you being ridiculous? She's a bodyguard, how can she get married?" Kangxi said helplessly.

Mingxiu was stunned for a moment. "Is it not allowed?"

Kangxi sighed as he looked at Mingxiu's bewildered expression.

She slowly walked down, took Mingxiu's hand and led her to the side: "The people in the guard camp, although it's not that you can't get married, you have to wait until retirement. And although she is serving you now, she is still on a mission. How can you just get married like that?"

Upon hearing this, Mingxiu realized that it wasn't impossible; it was still feasible.

Thinking of this, Mingxiu pulled Kangxi and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, but I have already promised and can do it. Besides, Luzhu and Jiahui are in love with each other, so please grant them your wish."

"You really want them to get together? Don't you think Green Bamboo's family background is too low?"

Mingxiu glared at Kangxi: "What Your Majesty said? I have already said it before. Before me, everyone was equal. Besides, I am just an ordinary person, so how could I think that other people's families are bad? Moreover, I have long regarded Luzhu as my own sister."

“But you don’t mind, but what about Jia Hui? And what about the criticism they might face after the marriage? Jia Hui is a well-known eligible bachelor in the capital.” Kangxi looked at Mingxiu. He knew that Jia Hui himself had a very promising future and was considered very successful among the Manchus. Moreover, he had an older sister who was an Imperial Noble Consort in the palace. He didn’t know how many people in the court were watching him, but he just hadn’t given in yet.
