As the weather gradually cools down, the hydrangeas in the courtyard are blooming brightly. Every now and then, a breeze blows, bringing down a large number of petals that flutter and dance in the air. Under a tree, a woman dressed in a pink and blue palace dress is lying down. Her fair and clear skin is the envy of onlookers. Mingxiu is lying on a recliner, holding a sketchbook in her hand, but she is not looking at it. Instead, she is staring blankly ahead, her brows furrowed, looking somewhat irritable.

Actually, Mingxiu didn't know why, but when she woke up in the morning she felt irritable and couldn't calm down. She felt like she had forgotten something, but she just couldn't remember it.

Mingxiu closed the sketchbook, stood up, and frowned as she pondered. However, she was a terrible student when she was in school and was really bad at history. She only had a general understanding from watching TV. In recent years, thanks to Mingxiu, Yinreng successfully avoided contracting smallpox, which he was supposed to have in history. Mingxiu even secretly vaccinated him and gave him some spiritual spring water. But what else is going on?

Just as Mingxiu was pondering why she hadn't made any progress, she saw Yinreng running over, followed by a huge, fat goose.

Seeing the goose behind Yinreng, Mingxiu's cheeks twitched uncontrollably. Although children are cute no matter what, it was inherently incongruous for a pampered and wealthy child to be followed by a goose.

Not to mention that this goose was fattened up by Yinreng, so fat that Mingxiu was worried that it might fall to the ground and not be able to get up when it was walking.

The reason is: I'm so fat.

Yinreng, however, did not notice Mingxiu's expression and rushed over in a panic, hugging Mingxiu.

"Mother Consort, my eldest son and second son are so excited and scared today," Yinreng said in a panic.

Hearing this title, Mingxiu was even more speechless. She didn't know where Yinreng had learned the term "father." Not only did he raise a goose, but he also raised a big fat cat. And it wasn't one of those cute orange cats, but a dark, fat cat.

It's unclear when Yinreng's aesthetic sense went astray. Mingxiu doesn't understand, and no one around him seems to have the same aesthetic sense.

Could it be hereditary?

But the Emperor and Empress Hesheli have perfectly normal aesthetic tastes.

Despite her complaints, Mingxiu still supported Yinreng's decision and ideas.

Holding Yinreng, he asked, "What's wrong? Did you do something to those two again?"

It's not that Mingxiu thinks that way. Perhaps it's because Yinreng has her and the little system Gungun by his side in this life that his personality has become much more unrestrained. He's always finding new ways to play with his two good sons.

People can't refuse him even if they want to, which makes his geese and cats afraid of him.

Yinreng shook his head: "No, no, Consort Ming, I've heard before that animals get very uneasy when an earthquake comes. Is that why?"

What?

An earthquake?

Mingxiu was stunned on the spot. She said that she had forgotten something. Historically, the earthquake occurred some time after Yinreng had smallpox, but now Yinreng did not have smallpox because of her, so she naturally forgot about it.

Thinking of this, Mingxiu realized that although she knew it was the system that reminded Yinreng, it gave her a reason to remind Kangxi.

Thinking of this, Mingxiu did not hesitate and led Yinreng towards the Beast Taming Courtyard, not forgetting to instruct the people around her to quickly invite the Emperor to the Beast Taming Courtyard.

Xiao Xizi was right next to him and naturally heard what happened. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he didn't hesitate and quickly ran towards Kangxi's Qianqing Palace.

Beast Taming Academy.

When Mingxiu arrived with Yinreng, they saw that Kangxi had already come.

He was looking at the animals in the yard with a serious expression.

Seeing Mingxiu and Yinreng approaching, he waved for them to come in.

"Your Majesty, Father Emperor, may you be blessed," Mingxiu and Yinreng bowed.

Emperor Kangxi beckoned the two men to stand up and asked, "What happened? What caused the earthquake?"

Mingxiu quickly spoke up: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince noticed that his two pet animals were a bit restless today. He remembered a book he had read before, which said that an earthquake was often preceded by animal riots. So he came to see me, and when I heard that, I immediately had someone inform Your Majesty."

Kangxi nodded, beckoned Yinreng over, and began to question him.

Mingxiu watched the father and son talking with their heads down without caring. She knew in her heart that the system must have already discussed what to say with Yinreng.

Sure enough, after listening for a while, Kangxi's expression became more and more serious. He told the two of them to go back, and he went back as well.

Once on the road, he sent someone to fetch the people from the Imperial Observatory.

After Mingxiu brought Yinreng back, she instructed the people in her palace to start packing up their belongings and moving as many things as possible outdoors. They themselves also moved outdoors first, because she was very poor and couldn't afford to lose anything.

Just as Mingxiu finished tidying up, news began to circulate in the palace, instructing all the palace ladies and concubines to pack up their valuables and move them outdoors, and to go to an open space within the palace grounds.

News was pouring out of the palace, and everyone inside was in a panic, not knowing what was happening.

The atmosphere in the entire capital was tense and serious for a time.

Liang Jiugong personally informed Mingxiu, while Kangxi went to inform the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and also to take charge of the overall situation.

Upon hearing the news, Mingxiu immediately took Yinreng to the place arranged by the Emperor.

When Mingxiu arrived, many people were already there, and everyone looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Mingxiu didn't know the exact time of the earthquake, so she could only wait by the side with Yinreng.

She held tightly to Yinreng, who looked terrified.

Seeing that almost everyone in the palace was here, Mingxiu was also quite surprised. She didn't expect Kangxi to believe the two of them so readily.

With such a commotion, if an earthquake hadn't occurred, Emperor Kangxi might have faced criticism from the people.

Kangxi was unaware of Mingxiu's thoughts, and he didn't simply believe what the two of them said, after all, one was a woman and the other a child. However, he had learned about the earthquake before, because due to the loss of the globe, most of them didn't know how to verify the arrival of an earthquake.

But Kangxi was a studious and book-loving emperor. He had seen the unusual animal riots before the cave appeared, but he had never been able to prove it.

However, the animal uprising that has already occurred, whether real or not, cannot be ignored by Emperor Kangxi.

With such a huge commotion, Emperor Kangxi had considered what to do if there was no earthquake, but if it was real and he didn't pay attention, he couldn't accept the consequences.

Therefore, it is better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.

After arranging his business at noon, Kangxi arrived at the designated place and waited outside, bringing Yinreng and Mingxiu with him.

Too many people coveted Yinreng's identity, and Kangxi feared that someone might take advantage of the chaos.
