Consort Hui rolled her eyes at Mingxiu: "I know what you mean. Alright, all my granddaughters who are old enough have been sent there. They're all so happy at the academy that they don't want to come back at all."

Consort Hui spoke with a hint of helplessness. Before starting school, she was a delicate little girl, but for some reason, she became much more mischievous after starting school.

Mingxiu listened to Consort Hui's complaints with amusement: "She's just become more cheerful. It's just that at home there are no other children her age to play with. Most of the time she plays by herself or with the maids. Everyone pampers them. The environment is different, so naturally her personality is different."

"Yes, it's good to send her there. My granddaughter used to be so timid; she would cry uncontrollably if you spoke to her even slightly harshly. But now she's become much more cheerful." Consort Rong nodded in satisfaction.

Little Hesheli didn't participate in these kinds of topics; she just listened quietly to them talk.

Mingxiu played mahjong in Consort Hui's palace for a satisfying afternoon, and then returned home in a good mood. Just as she arrived at the door, she saw that Kangxi had finished preparing all the tea and was getting ready to pack it up.

Mingxiu walked over, looked at the tea leaves on the table, and casually picked up two boxes, handing them to Yulan: "Go, take these two boxes to Consort Hui and Consort Rong, and let them try them too."

Yu Lan nodded, took the box, and went out.

Kangxi sat on the stool next to him, watching the actions of the master and servant, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

"How long are we planning to stay at Changchun Garden this time? When will we set off again?" Mingxiu asked Kangxi, leaning on the table.

Kangxi glanced helplessly at the unruly Mingxiu and said, "Let's wait a little longer. We can leave directly after a while."

Mingxiu nodded listlessly.

"Weren't you enjoying your stay here? Why are you in such a hurry to leave now?" Kangxi asked Mingxiu with a puzzled look.

Mingxiu ignored him: "What direct connection does this have? It's nice to stay here, but it's also nice to go out and have fun. There's no conflict at all, okay?"

"Yes, yes, no conflict. Let's wait a few more days. It's too early to go out now," Kangxi coaxed Mingxiu, stroking her hair helplessly.

Mingxiu nodded. As long as she knew the time, that was fine. Although Changchun Garden was lively, she still wanted to go out and wander around. Anyway, when she got older and it became inconvenient to go out, she would still have to live in the capital, so there was no rush now.

Since she wasn't going out yet, Mingxiu spent most of her time, besides playing mahjong, tidying up all the fruit in her space to minimize waste.

"I think I remember now, this space is going to stay with us from now on, right?" That night, Kangxi sat on a recliner, and Mingxiu sat in Kangxi's lap. The two of them quietly looked at the moon when they suddenly heard Kangxi speak.

Mingxiu paused for a moment and nodded.

"Haha, it's nothing, I just don't know how I forgot. I was wondering what would happen to this space after we left, and then I suddenly remembered that we won't be separated." Kangxi said, tightening his grip on Mingxiu's waist.

Mingxiu didn't know what was wrong with Kangxi tonight, but at this moment, she could clearly sense that Kangxi was not in a good mood. Following Kangxi's meaning, she nodded: "Yes, we will always be together from now on, for all eternity, returning to different times and spaces, experiencing different things, and living different lives. We may be ordinary people, or we may be teachers, or we may be doctors. We may have one child, or we may have two children. I still want two children. It would be best if Chenghuan and Baocheng could come too, so that we can still be family..." Mingxiu said softly.

After Mingxiu returned from Changchun Garden, the palace entered a busy Spring Festival period. Yinreng was busy with his final tasks before retiring from writing, and Guarjia was busy preparing for all the banquets in the harem. There was no other way but for her to handle all these matters herself this year, as she was the only one there.

Kangxi and Mingxiu spent most of their time with Hongxi.

However, in the past two days, Mingxiu could clearly sense that Yinreng's gaze towards her was somewhat strange.

Once, when she was playing happily in the garden with Hongxi, she suddenly turned her head and saw Yinreng staring straight at her. Mingxiu was so frightened that she almost dropped the flowers in her hand. It was only when Hongxi called out "Father Emperor" that Mingxiu came to her senses.

Then, when she turned to look at Yinreng, everything seemed normal. Mingxiu thought it was just her imagination and didn't pay much attention to it.

However, this feeling has become stronger and stronger in the past two days, and Mingxiu feels uncomfortable all over.

“Xuan Ye, have you noticed that Bao Cheng has been acting strangely lately? Sometimes when I turn around, I see him staring at me suspiciously, and that look makes me feel really uncomfortable. But when I ask him, he says there's nothing wrong.” Ming Xiu couldn't take it anymore and went directly to ask Kangxi.

Kangxi glanced at Mingxiu, then placed the book on the table and pondered for a moment. "I've indeed had this feeling lately. I asked him about it, but he wouldn't say. He just said he'd tell us after he sorted out his thoughts. So don't worry about it for now. Let's wait until he's ready to talk about it." Kangxi was no ordinary emperor; he had been emperor for over 30 years and was very familiar with people's expressions. He had noticed Yinreng's unusual behavior long ago and had even asked him about it, but Yinreng hadn't said anything, so Kangxi hadn't brought it up either. He hadn't expected that someone as perceptive as Mingxiu had already noticed Yinreng's gaze.
