Mingxiu held Yinreng and stood behind the screen behind Kangxi, looking around nervously, afraid of any unusual movement.

The earthquake is what we now call a seismic event. Mingxiu's deepest memory of earthquakes is the Wenchuan earthquake when she was a child. In her previous life, Mingxiu lived in the stable Central Plains region, where earthquakes and floods had never occurred. It was a blessed land. Although she had never experienced it firsthand, the devastation she saw in the documentary was truly shocking.

All the houses in the city collapsed in an instant, and the cracks in the ground were so deep that they could not be seen.

The number of dead and injured was countless. Mingxiu couldn't bear to watch it. Afterwards, when the school organized donations of money and supplies, she went home crying and donated her newly bought, favorite pink fuzzy sweater.

Because it was so profound, it remains vivid in my memory, and now that I have to go through it myself, I can't help but feel afraid.

After giving his instructions, Kangxi waited in front, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

After an unknown amount of time, just as everyone's mood was becoming increasingly agitated, the ground began to shake.

Emperor Kangxi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and took a few steps forward to look at the palace in front of him.

Feeling the ground shaking more and more violently, Mingxiu held the terrified and crying Yinreng and looked at Kangxi in the distance.

Because they were far away, they only felt the earth shaking. The concubines and palace servants behind them also began to panic and scream.

Hearing the screams and cries behind her, Mingxiu hugged Yinreng tightly.

The earthquake came and went quickly, and stopped shaking in no time.

Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, ordered people to set up camp, and came over to comfort Yinreng by stroking his hand. He saw Mingxiu looking up at him with red eyes.

After a moment of silence, he patted Mingxiu reassuringly.

Looking at the two children, one big and one small, crying uncontrollably in his arms, Kangxi sighed and held them both, waiting for them to vent their emotions.

After a while, Mingxiu realized what was happening, quickly released Kangxi's waist, smiled apologetically, and told Kangxi to hurry up and get back to his work.

Kangxi glanced at the somewhat shy Mingxiu, smiled helplessly, then picked up Yinreng, who was crying and clinging to him, and went to the Empress Dowager.

He is the emperor and has a lot of things to do, so he can't comfort Mingxiu here.

Watching Kangxi's figure walk away, she hadn't intended to cry, but for some reason, when she saw him, especially when he hugged and comforted her, she suddenly couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.

After calming herself down, Mingxiu took Lüzhu to their tent.

There were still some earthquakes afterward, but they weren't very serious, and everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.

After having dinner that evening, Mingxiu felt the ground shaking slightly and knew that the time was almost over.

Looking at the scenery outside, Mingxiu felt a little lost. God really is unreasonable. The once pleasant scenery has now become a messy and crooked landscape.

The houses and trees that people worked so hard to build over many years have been reduced to nothing in an instant because of one action by God.

This time, thanks to Yinreng's early warning, Kangxi not only moved the people and things in the palace, but also the people of the capital, which made the situation much better.

Even though the house is gone, as long as the people are still together as a family, everything can still be done.

Talent is the most important thing.

The earthquake lasted for two days. During those two days, Mingxiu stayed in her tent and did not go out. Only after everything was over did everyone set off to return to the palace.

Mingxiu walked to the front of Yonghe Palace and looked at the situation inside.

Thankfully, the situation isn't too serious. At least her favorite hydrangea tree and glasshouse are still in good condition, and the rest just needs some minor repairs.

In the past two years, due to the emergence of cement, although it could not be used on a large scale because the national treasury was short of funds, Emperor Kangxi had a considerable amount of money in his private treasury, so he used cement to repair all the houses.

"Your Majesty, things are actually not too bad in our palace. The worst situation is actually Chuxiu Palace. The building is almost completely collapsed and we have to rebuild it," Xiao Xizi said from the side.

Mingxiu nodded. Chuxiu Palace was the last to be repaired because no master lived there. The earthquake happened before the repairs could be completed.

Therefore, it is understandable that it is the most serious.

Actually, Mingxiu thinks it would be nice to rebuild it, at least you can modify it according to your own preferred decorations, but it's just too much trouble and you won't be able to live there for a long time.

Mingxiu dislikes trouble, so it's better to stay here.

Mingxiu sighed and ordered someone to clean up and replace all the damaged items.

Feeling happy, I went back to my room and lay down.

These past two days I haven't been able to rest well because I was scared, so I'm quite tired. As soon as Mingxiu lay down on her bed, she fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already quite dark.

Seeing that Mingxiu had woken up, Green Bamboo hurried over to serve her, "Your Highness, you're awake. It's just the time for dinner. The small kitchen has just prepared some food; please get up and have some."

Mingxiu nodded; she had slept so comfortably.

After Mingxiu finished her dinner, she listened to Xiaoxizi's report on what had happened next.

The palace is doing alright, with minimal damage. In the capital, thanks to the Emperor's directive, there were few casualties, but many buildings need to be rebuilt.

The Emperor has already ordered the allocation of funds to help the people rebuild their homes.

Furthermore, the emperor issued an edict of self-reproach.

Hearing this, Mingxiu was stunned, and then felt a little wronged. It wasn't that she felt wronged, but that she felt wronged for Kangxi, as the emperor still had to bear these things.

Mingxiu was feeling wronged when she saw Kangxi come in from outside. She couldn't control herself and rushed towards Kangxi.
