"Why are you looking at me? Isn't this a good thing? It lets everyone know the dangers of uncooked mushrooms," Mingxiu said, sticking out her neck.

Kangxi quietly looked at Mingxiu, shook his head after a while, and pulled her directly into the restaurant.

Mingxiu followed him inside.

The two enjoyed a delicious mushroom meal at the restaurant. Although the restaurant boasted that its mushrooms were absolutely safe to eat, Mingxiu was still skeptical, so they ate only non-poisonous mushrooms.

But non-poisonous mushrooms are just so delicious, especially when chicken and chicken are made into a soup, it's incredibly delicious.

Mingxiu drank two large bowls with satisfaction, but in the end she couldn't drink anymore. Holding her stomach, she said to Kangxi, "It's all about how fresh and delicious this is. Although we have it in the capital, it doesn't taste as good."

Emperor Kangxi, holding the bowl, nodded in rare agreement; indeed, the mushroom soup was exceptionally delicious.

After putting down his chopsticks, Kangxi took a handkerchief from the side and wiped his mouth, not forgetting to wipe his beard as well.

Mingxiu watched from the side, clicking her tongue and shaking her head, completely captivated by Kangxi.

Mingxiu didn't know when Kangxi started growing a beard. By the time she realized it, Kangxi had already grown a small mustache. At first, Mingxiu disliked it and thought it looked bad. But now Mingxiu had to admit that she had no taste back then. He looked incredibly handsome now, with a lot more masculine charm. Mingxiu was sure that if Kangxi were released like this, he would probably charm just as many young girls as he did when he was young.

Kangxi caught a glimpse of Mingxiu's amazed look out of the corner of his eye, and secretly felt pleased with himself, thinking that his beard had been well worth the effort.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill at the restaurant, they started walking back. This time, they didn't book a ready-made house, but had someone rush over to build it while they were on the road.

Everything was arranged according to Mingxiu's wishes. She had always wanted a house with a balcony and a sea view, and now that she was in Yunnan, she naturally wanted to make it happen.

After getting off the carriage, Mingxiu looked curiously into the dark brown courtyard gate. After Kangxi got off, she pulled him inside. The house looked out of place with the surrounding houses, but it had a strange beauty.

Kangxi found it somewhat strange, but for Mingxiu, it felt completely familiar.

This courtyard was built by her according to modern folk customs. It is located halfway up the mountain, and the house faces the boundless sea. The house is a three-section house with several rooms, which is more than enough for living. Mingxiu and Kangxi's room is in the second section. The first section is only one story high, with an open-air balcony on the top floor, where several chairs and a huge parasol have been placed. The second section has a second floor. Mingxiu pulled Kangxi inside. After they entered their room, there was a window directly opposite them, and beyond the window was the sea, with no obstruction.

"I really have to say, this house is such a great choice, I love it so much!" Mingxiu praised without hesitation. In this era when houses were only a few stories high, people didn't need to borrow space from the sky, so there weren't many obstructing buildings, making it a very comfortable place to live.

Kangxi looked at the scenery outside and nodded in satisfaction. It was indeed very good. The people who handled this matter well deserved a reward.

As Kangxi spoke, he directly brought out a two-meter-long bed from the space. They had all gotten used to living there during this period of time.

Mingxiu didn't like having anyone serve her in the house, so there were usually only the two of them in their house, so they weren't afraid of others seeing them and getting suspicious.

Mingxiu wasn't too tired along the way, but Kangxi was quite exhausted. In addition, the palace maids and guards who were serving him were also very tired. So Mingxiu didn't suggest going out immediately. Instead, she and Kangxi washed up in the room and prepared to let everyone get some rest.

They set off from Beijing at the end of April, and now it's the end of August, the hottest time of the year is over.

The air inside the room was quite comfortable. Kangxi lay on the bed with Mingxiu in his arms, enjoying the tranquil surroundings. He had originally planned to say a few words, but he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the bed.

Mingxiu shifted in Kangxi's arms, looking at Kangxi sleeping, and touched his face with a touch of heartache. He hadn't been able to rest much in his space along the way, and had mostly been outside. Although they had stopped and started along the way, it had been a long time, and after persisting for so long, it was really tiring to suddenly relax.

Mingxiu touched Kangxi's face, snuggled into his arms, and soon fell asleep along with Kangxi's breathing.

When she woke up again, it was already dark. Mingxiu moved around a little confusedly. Kangxi felt the movement in his arms and opened his eyes as well: "It's dark. Get ready to get up."

"Okay, fine." Mingxiu snuggled in Kangxi's arms and was pulled up by Kangxi.

It was still a bit chilly in Yunnan at night. After finishing her meal, Mingxiu, wearing a cloak, followed Kangxi to the beach. Once there, Mingxiu dismissed everyone who was following behind and told them to go and have fun on their own.

Yu Lan, Qing Ya, and Liang Jiugong exchanged glances and walked to the area around Ming Xiu and the others to enjoy the scenery. Since the abdication of the Emperor Emeritus, they had been living like immortals every day.

During this time, they followed along every day, eating delicious food, playing fun games, and seeing scenery they had never seen in the palace for decades.
