After listening to the entire speech, Governor Zhang: ...... Emperor Kangxi: ......

Mingxiu: ...This is really frustrating. This kind of unreasonable grabbing happens everywhere. Who gave him the courage to think like this?

Governor Zhang was also quite shocked by the foreigners' shamelessness; he had never seen such shameless people.

"This is outrageous! This microscope was just developed by our Qing Dynasty Research Institute. How could it be stolen from your country? This is utter nonsense! Let me tell you, this is damaging the reputation of our Qing Dynasty. Has your country developed it yet? It is your country's."

Governor Zhang was furious and secretly decided that he would talk about the country's office when he went downstairs later.

The foreigners were bewildered by the sarcastic remarks from Governor Zhang, the vendors, and Little Chili. They couldn't quite grasp what was going on. How could this not be from their country? This kind of thing could only be produced in their country. If it wasn't being produced, it must be because they had stolen their country's data, which was why they couldn't produce it.

Those listening nearby were utterly stunned by the man's words, and Governor Zhang looked constipated. He immediately ordered the man to be taken away.

Let the people in his country teach him to speak; you can't reason with a fool like that.

Mingxiu and Kangxi came out while everyone was discussing.

Mingxiu's face was full of speechlessness: "Where did this weirdo come from? He's so ridiculous."

Emperor Kangxi was speechless: "Go and have someone investigate." He didn't know what to say; this was the first time in all these years that he had encountered such a madman.

“Father, Mother.”

A sound came from afar, and Mingxiu and Kangxi looked over and saw the seventh and eighth princes walking over from not far away.

Mingxiu exclaimed twice, "He truly is a gentleman as beautiful as jade, unparalleled in the world! My son is so handsome."

Kangxi glanced at Mingxiu.

Mingxiu felt a sudden sense of crisis and smiled ingratiatingly as she spoke to Kangxi: "Of course, no matter how handsome a son is, he can't be as handsome as his father. In my heart, my husband is the most handsome and good-looking. I'm his little fangirl. In my heart, my husband is the most handsome."

The seventh and eighth brothers had just walked over when Mingxiu's greasy words gave them goosebumps.

The two men's expressions changed drastically, and they almost vomited, staring at Mingxiu in disbelief.

Mingxiu felt a little nauseous at her own words, but she said that she had already said them. Now, seeing her two sons looking at her, she glanced at them indifferently.

Emperor Kangxi was quite pleased; although his face showed no expression, he was very happy inside.

"Why are you two here?" Kangxi asked coldly.

The moment the seventh and eighth sons heard Kangxi's cold tone, their muscle memory returned instantly. They snapped back to reality, looked at Kangxi and Mingxiu, cleared their throats, and said, "Father, your sons have noticed that you and Mother haven't been back for a long time, so we came to visit. If there's nothing else, let's go back."

The seventh brother said.

Kangxi and Mingxiu nodded: "Alright, let's go back."

On the way, the group chatted about their recent situations and then agreed on a time to go out again.

They came back to replenish their supplies and will soon set off again. Mingxiu and Kangxi arrived after they returned.

Including the travel time, they have finished making up for the missing supplies. Now they are just waiting for Kangxi and Mingxiu to arrive so they can set off together.

Mingxiu wasn't particularly familiar with the two children, but it was alright. In the palace, Mingxiu treated all the children equally and was often lenient with them. She also got along well with the concubines in the harem, so there was no awkwardness between them.

After arriving at the coastal area and resting for a night, Mingxiu and Kangxi boarded the ship the next day with the seventh and eighth princes to resume their voyage.

Several years later, standing on the large ship again, Mingxiu felt somewhat emotional.

On the deck, four people sat side by side on chairs, with a table in the middle where the meat was being grilled.

Mingxiu directed the father and his two sons as they grilled the meat, while also interrupting them to make the process more difficult.

"Your marriage has been arranged, but has the specific date been set?" Mingxiu asked curiously. Yinreng had mentioned in his previous letter that a date had been chosen, but no specific date had been set yet.

"It's settled. We'll be getting married around the time we come back this time. Mother and Father can come back with us then," the seventh son said shyly.

Mingxiu nodded: "That's only right. It's your wedding, so naturally we, as your parents, will attend. But why is it just the two of you this time? Old Jiu didn't even make a fuss about coming with you." Mingxiu was very curious. She didn't know if it was because of the atmosphere or her ears, but although the previous things hadn't happened in this life, the three of them were still incredibly close. Whenever they went out to do anything, the three of them were always together.

Surprisingly, not all three of them came out together this time.

"The Ninth Prince has been caught by his mother, who says he should take advantage of this time before the wedding to study more and also cultivate their relationship," the Eighth Prince said from the side, fiddling with the roasted meat in his hands.

"I see. So you two don't need to be trained?"

"We can train them when we get back." Seeing that the eighth brother remained silent, the seventh brother could only bite the bullet and speak. It was still embarrassing to talk about his love life with his elders.
