Chapter 32 Glass Room

After seeing Kangxi off, Mingxiu went straight back to her room without even washing up. She told Lüzhu and the others to eat slowly and not to rush. She said they could clean up after they finished eating, since she had been busy serving them and Liang Jiugong.

After securing the door, Mingxiu instantly entered her spatial dimension. Wasn't TV appealing enough? Or were games not fun enough? Or were spicy snacks not tasty enough? She took a bubble bath in the space, ate snacks, watched TV, and played games. That night, she slept on her beautiful, soft, two-meter-wide bed.

As September arrives, the weather gradually cools down, with each autumn rain bringing a chill, making the mornings quite pleasant.

In the morning, after washing up, Mingxiu looked at the scenery outside and felt a little dazed. It had been so long since she had seen such bright and clear windows. She hadn't paid attention to the development of things since she gave away the house, but just looking at the fact that the windows in the palace had been replaced with glass and the roadsides had been paved with cement, it was quite impressive. Not to mention that the craftsmen had even made mirrors. Seeing how busy Kangxi had been these days, but the smile on his face never left, she knew that he must have made a lot of money.

Mingxiu snorted inwardly. These are the three great artifacts of transmigrators. She wouldn't have given them to him for free if she hadn't had no other way to make money from them.

I rubbed my stomach, sat up and stretched. The weather was so nice, I didn't want to get out of bed at all. I ate too much greasy food yesterday, and Mingxiu ate a lot more on social media last night, so I wasn't hungry at all this morning.

The weather was so nice, it would be a waste not to go out. Mingxiu took Luzhu and Yuqing to the back. The people in the palace were indeed all opportunistic. Her glass house was almost finished. Mingxiu was very satisfied with the house that was about to be completed. This was exactly what she wanted. When the weather got colder, she could heat the kang (a heated brick bed) inside to ensure she would be warm and comfortable, and she could enjoy fruit freedom in winter. However, she still hadn't brought back many of her seeds, especially some rare ones that she really wanted to have.

After taking a satisfied stroll around, Mingxiu turned back and had Green Bamboo place a recliner under the hydrangea tree, with some food beside it. She then lay down leisurely on the recliner, reading a storybook and eating pastries, while a pretty young woman fanned her from the side, looking completely relaxed.

When Kangxi entered, he saw Mingxiu looking so relaxed and carefree. For a rare moment, he felt a pang of resentment. He was working himself to the bone outside, while Mingxiu was enjoying herself immensely.

"You're living a good life, aren't you?" Kangxi snorted coldly, strode in, sat down in the chair that Green Bamboo had just gotten up from, and looked at Mingxiu with displeasure.

Upon seeing Kangxi enter, Mingxiu quickly put down her storybook and comforted him, "Oh, Your Majesty, I am where I am today because of Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty's wise rule and hard work outside, how could I have the opportunity to live such a life?"

Kangxi glanced at her, took a bite of the pastry, and thought to himself, "This little ungrateful girl, is that so? I don't see any gratitude at all. I was planning to take you out of the palace for a stroll today, but seeing how leisurely you are in the palace, there's really no need for you to go out."

Upon hearing this, Mingxiu's eyes lit up immediately. She stood up and threw herself into Kangxi's arms. "Your Majesty, I'm so bored without me. Please, take me out of the palace to play! I haven't been out for so long!" She was so happy that she could finally go out of the palace to play.

Mingxiu's movements were so swift that Kangxi almost didn't have time to react. He quickly raised the pastries in his hand to avoid the tragedy of Mingxiu crushing them all over him.

He glanced at her with a hint of helplessness, wondering why this girl was becoming increasingly unruly in front of him, showing no fear of him whatsoever, whereas she had been quite afraid of him before.

Little did they know that Mingxiu was very good at taking advantage of others' opportunities. As long as someone showed the slightest sign of regression, Mingxiu could sense it and use it to her advantage.

Of course, this also depends on the person. She is not afraid of Kangxi mainly because she knows that as long as she does not do anything immoral, Kangxi will not hold it against her.

So I can be quite daring.

Kangxi helplessly put his arm around Mingxiu's waist, afraid she would fall. "Be careful, you'll be in big trouble if you fall."

"Are you taking me out to play, Your Majesty?" Mingxiu ignored him and plopped down on Kangxi's lap, starting to sway.

Kangxi, feeling somewhat helpless from being shaken, looked at the sketchbook Mingxiu had placed on the table and said, "Going out is fine, but there's a condition: if you do this, I'll take you out to play."

Mingxiu blinked, stared at Kangxi, and pouted, asking, "What are your requirements?"

Kangxi raised an eyebrow. "Two large characters. If I can find ten characters in your writing that I can't find fault with, then I'll take you out."

Mingxiu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute.

"If you're not willing, then just don't say it," Kangxi quickly said, seeing Mingxiu's reluctant expression.

"Alright, alright, it's a deal. As long as His Majesty is satisfied with ten words, he must take me out to play," Mingxiu said somewhat reluctantly.

Emperor Kangxi laughed and said, "Don't worry, I keep my word." He had already planned to take her out, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

Mingxiu could only purse her lips helplessly. If she hadn't really wanted to go out and have some fun, she wouldn't have wanted to. It's not like she can't read. She spent over twenty years in modern times struggling with academics, but she never expected that she would forget how to write after transmigrating.

snort!

He wiggled his bottom and got off Kangxi, then called to Green Bamboo to prepare to go back to the house to write calligraphy.

Wait for me outside the palace, I'll be right out.

Kangxi stared intently at Mingxiu's retreating figure, his eyes narrowing slightly—"I'll deal with you tonight."

During dinner, Mingxiu successfully submitted two large characters. When Kangxi arrived with Yinreng, Mingxiu was already sitting at the table with the papers in hand, waiting.

When Consort Ming saw Mingxiu, she released Kangxi's hand and happily rushed towards her.

"Oh my, little prince, you look very happy today. Did something good happen?" Mingxiu caught Yinreng and asked curiously, seeing that Yinreng's face was almost beaming with joy.

"Yes, yes, I'm going to the Imperial Study tomorrow! I'm so happy!" Yinreng grinned and said excitedly. His father said that as long as he went to the Imperial Study, he could play and study with his older brother.

Although he didn't quite understand how to study, the cat said it was just like the cartoons the cat showed him, where someone would tell him stories and someone would play with him.

Mingxiu grinned, looking at Yinreng who was smiling happily, wondering why he was smiling so happily. Was going to school a happy thing?

She hates going to school the most.

Besides, isn't Yinreng only three years old now? It's too much for a royal child to start studying so early. It seems that not just anyone can be the emperor's son.

But that didn't stop Mingxiu from praising Yinreng: "Wow, Your Highness, you're amazing! You're going to study so soon, that's incredible!"

Satisfied, he watched as Yinreng's already wide smile widened even further.
