Yinzhi had a similar problem, but he was more impulsive, so he was even less likely to win.

The game of mahjong lasted until dark before it finally ended.

Because Yinzhi had run out of fruit, Mingxiu had only a few left. But even so, Mingxiu walked down from the mahjong table with her head held high, which at least proved that she was better than Yinzhi.

As for the others, Mingxiu is no match for them. This is probably just a matter of varying intelligence. Waaah, it's fortunate that she comes from the future, otherwise she would have been completely outclassed by these people.

That evening, the group enjoyed a delicious seafood rice meal. Mingxiu was surprised to find that she couldn't get this kind of food outside, but she could get it on the boat.

This seafood rice is really delicious.

After sailing at sea for several months, the group finally returned to their hometown.

The group stood on the beach, still somewhat moved!

Upon their return, Kangxi immediately sent someone with the items back to Yinreng to handle.

Because she was worried about the child, Yierjueluo Genshi also went back, and Yinzhi naturally went back as well.

Anyway, he was in his own territory, and Kangxi had quite a few secret guards around him, so Yinzhi wasn't worried about them doing anything.

Mingxiu and Kangxi leisurely rode back in their carriage. Along the way, they stopped at a place full of flowers, called Huacheng. There were no clear signs, and Mingxiu didn't know where this place was in the future, but it was indeed full of flowers.

When Mingxiu and Kangxi arrived at the city gate, they saw that there were already many flowers nearby. The two stayed in the flower city for a while, eating flower cakes, drinking flower porridge, and carrying flower wine, before slowly continuing their journey.

The two left in early autumn, but by the time they returned to the capital, it was already winter.

They returned several months later than Yinzhi and the others.

Yinreng and Chenghuan were dissatisfied with the two.

When the two returned, they didn't make a sound and came back quietly.

They returned to the palace first, intending to visit Yinreng and Chenghuan before heading back to Changchun Garden.

We've been away for too long, it's time to take a break. We'll talk about setting off again after the New Year.

Even though Kangxi and Mingxiu were keeping it quiet, by the time they entered the palace, many people already knew about it.

Yinreng was the first to know, after all, he was now the emperor, and these things needed to be told to him.

Lady Guarjia was the second to know. Kangxi had already informed her when he learned that the vomiting had stopped. As for Chenghuan, Yinreng looked at the sky and realized it was already late. By the time they arrived, it would be too late. He decided to inform them tomorrow, so that the two of them could get some rest.

Guarjia clansmen hurriedly arrived with Hongxi.

"Grandmother, Grandpa Huang, you're back! Hongxi missed you so much!" Hongxi said obediently as he walked over.

"Oh dear, my little Hongxi missed me! I missed you too! Your grandmother brought you a lot of fun things this time. I'll send them over later, so you can play with them to your heart's content, okay?" Mingxiu said with a smile, hugging Hongxi.

Emperor Kangxi watched from the side with gentle eyes, though he remained quite serious most of the time.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Grandmother and Grandfather." Hongxi thanked them obediently, leaning against Mingxiu standing beside him.

Guarjia then began to speak: "Father, Consort Ming, you have been away for too long this time. His Majesty has been grumbling about it. Now that you are finally back, please stay in the palace after you return."

"You don't need to worry about us. We know what we're doing. We'll be back for the New Year. Just take good care of the affairs of the harem and your and the Emperor's health," Mingxiu said with a smile. Looking at the young woman in front of her, she realized that although she had only been Empress for a few months, she already possessed a certain dignity. She was indeed quite different from before.

"What, you two are still leaving? Why don't you just stay in the palace quietly? I'm not trying to be mean, but you two are getting on in years and still don't know how to behave yourselves." Yinreng walked in from outside and said without any politeness.

"What are you saying? Nobody cares about you anymore, and you're saying all sorts of things to outsiders." Kangxi frowned as he looked at Yinreng.

Yinreng paused as he entered, looking at Mingxiu and Kangxi with a wronged expression: "Isn't that right? You've been gone for so long and you didn't even send a message? Don't you miss the people in the capital?" Yinreng felt very aggrieved; this was the first time he had been separated from Kangxi and the others for so long.

Kangxi paused, looking at Yinreng's aggrieved expression, and was taken aback. Then his expression softened.

"Alright, it's not that it's inconvenient at sea, and besides, you're the emperor now, so watch your image."

Yinreng wrinkled his nose, looked at Kangxi, and said nothing.

After a long while, Kangxi finally couldn't stand Yinreng's gaze any longer and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, it won't happen again. I'll definitely send you a letter, okay?" Kangxi was worried.

Even though he's already the emperor, Yinreng still seems like he's never been weaned. It's really worrying for him.

Yinreng didn't care about that. Hearing Kangxi's reply, he smiled with satisfaction. What was weaning? It didn't exist. Why would he need to be weaned for no reason?

Turning to look at Mingxiu, who was watching the father and son's show, he was suddenly attacked by Yinreng's gaze.

She quickly replied, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll definitely report on time from now on, and it won't happen again." Mingxiu assured her.

Yinreng nodded in satisfaction: "That's good. Just stay in the palace, okay? Keep us company. Besides, Chenghuan is pregnant, so you all need to stay in the palace and take care of her."

ah!

Chenghuan is pregnant.

Mingxiu looked completely bewildered: "I don't know, nobody told me."

Yinreng looked helpless: "I did want to tell you, but your communications have been unstable, and we can't even find anyone to deliver the mail."

Forehead......

Mingxiu was a little embarrassed; it really was true.

Along the way, she and Emperor Kangxi went wherever they wanted, not caring about the distance at all. Even if they walked here, they could turn back and go for a walk.

So it's really hard to find their whereabouts.

Mingxiu and Kangxi felt extremely guilty. Kangxi looked away and then changed the subject: "How long has Chenghuan been pregnant? Does she know we're back? We'll go see her tomorrow."

"It's been five months. It's too late today. Let's wait until tomorrow. I'll have someone inform Chenghuan to come to the palace tomorrow."

Mingxiu nodded.

After venting his frustrations, Kangxi took Yinreng into the study. They talked about something, while Mingxiu sat outside with Guarjia Shi, sorting through the things they had brought back.
