Consort Hui was also surprised to see Mingxiu. The eunuch beside Yinti only said that Yinti had caused a disturbance in the Imperial Study and had been summoned by the Emperor, but he did not mention that the Crown Prince had also been summoned.

Although they both wanted to say hello, they knew it wasn't the time to talk, so they hurriedly headed towards the Qianqing Palace.

When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the eunuchs serving at the gate saw them from afar and had already informed the Emperor, so Mingxiu and the others went straight in.

Mingxiu and Consort Hui went in together and saw Kangxi sitting upstairs, looking at something and his expression was unclear. Liang Jiugong and a soldier stood beside him. Yinreng and Yinti stood below, hugging each other, their eyes red, looking very pitiful.

When the two saw Mingxiu and the others arrive, their expressions became even more aggrieved, and Yinreng looked at Mingxiu with red eyes.

Mingxiu's little heart couldn't take it immediately.

Consort Hui was the same; if she hadn't still had some sense, she would have already hugged and comforted Yinti.

Mingxiu and Huibin exchanged a glance, unsure of what was going on.

In the end, Mingxiu spoke first, because she held a higher position.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

"Your Majesty, I wonder what's wrong with His Highness the Crown Prince and the First Prince?" Mingxiu asked cautiously after bowing.

At this moment, Kangxi put down what he was holding, looked at his two sons and said, "Perfect, tell me again what happened to you today."

Mingxiu blinked and looked at the Emperor. The Emperor didn't seem very angry, so it didn't seem to be a big deal.

Relieved, he looked at Yinreng, wanting to know what had happened that day that had escalated to the point of bringing it before the Emperor.

With teary eyes, Yinreng looked at Mingxiu, feeling somewhat aggrieved, and began to explain what had happened that day.

Previously, Yinreng had raised a goose and a duck, which he liked very much. Later, seeing that his elder brother liked them, he gave one to his elder brother. However, he did not expect that the one he gave to his elder brother was male, while his own was female.

That's not the point. The point is that the two of them recently started learning to paint. They liked the colors, and then when they got home, they saw their pets. So they immediately agreed to bring their goose and duck to the study today to paint them.

This wasn't a big deal and wouldn't have affected class, but the two of them started comparing their colors and ended up arguing.

Hearing this, Mingxiu felt it wasn't a big deal and was completely understandable.

Then Yinti continued speaking, and while the two were arguing, at some point, Yinreng's goose and Yinti's goose got their rear ends tangled together.

Upon hearing this, Mingxiu's expression turned slightly off, and Huipin, who was listening to her son's words from the side, also felt somewhat embarrassed.

Yinti stopped, glanced at Mingxiu and his mother in front of him, and then continued. "I don't know why, but I was just very curious, so Yinti asked the servants beside him what those two were doing, buttocks touching buttocks." Before the servants could answer, Yinti blurted out that he knew.

"Then they said they were mating, but neither of them knew exactly what mating was, so they kept pestering the servants below to demonstrate how it happened."

Mingxiu's face cracked open, really.

She regretted it; why did she come?

She should have stayed obediently in the palace instead of coming out, so she wouldn't have had to experience such a life-or-death moment.

The rest is history, even without their explanation. The servants below were certainly unwilling, and a stalemate ensued. Later, they were informed that the matter had been referred to Emperor Kangxi, and that's how it ended up like this.

Ah—this.

Mingxiu was speechless; she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Turning to look at Consort Hui, he found that she also looked ashamed and indignant, her face flushed, whether from anger or embarrassment, he couldn't tell.

Then she turned her head and saw that the emperor's face had darkened, and the servants beside him were all bowing their heads tightly. Mingxiu didn't know what to say.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

The final result was that each of them was punished by copying a large book of calligraphy, and they were no longer allowed to bring animals to the Imperial Study. They also had to apologize to the Grand Tutor.

Then he was kicked out by Emperor Kangxi, who had a dark expression on his face.

At the door, Mingxiu looked at Yinreng and Yinti, then at Consort Hui, and invited, "It's still early, why don't you come to my palace to sit for a while, so that the two of them can practice calligraphy together?"

Consort Hui glanced at Yinti and saw him looking at her with bright eyes. She nodded reservedly.

Mingxiu smiled and led them to Yonghe Palace.

Upon returning to the palace, Mingxiu immediately had them practice calligraphy, and only after they had eaten something were they allowed to go to the study to practice.

This study was usually Mingxiu's, but she mostly stayed in her own room or outside and rarely used the study. Later, after Yinreng started school, he often came over to practice calligraphy, so Mingxiu rearranged everything to suit Yinreng's needs.

"You two stay here and practice your writing. I'll have someone bring you some fruit later. Take a break when you're tired. Remember to combine theory with practice, okay? Otherwise, you won't grow tall," Mingxiu said with a smile.

The two nodded obediently and then went back.

"I haven't formally thanked my sister yet. She helped me in the Imperial Garden before, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been disfigured." Mingxiu walked in and looked at Consort Hui who was eating snacks.

Hearing the voice, Consort Hui put down the pastries and sat down solemnly: "No need to thank me, this is to repay the kindness you have shown me in taking care of Baoqing." Consort Hui spoke expressionlessly. She was very uncomfortable at the moment. If it weren't for Baoqing's explanation that Mingxiu had taken good care of him, she wouldn't have saved her.

Looking at the haughty Consort Hui, Mingxiu didn't point out the crumbs on her lips, nor did she care why Hui had saved her in the first place. She had saved her, and that was that. As for the things that had been done against her before, Mingxiu didn't hold it against her.

"Sister, try this. It's fruit grown in my own courtyard. It's quite good. The eldest prince often brings it back. I wonder what you think of it?"

Consort Hui nodded, noticing that she had already eaten all the fruit in front of her.

Mingxiu looked at the person in front of her who was so sparing with words, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

It's kind of funny; I don't know what she's being awkward about.

"Sister, you don't need to be so nervous. I didn't mean anything by it." Mingxiu was speechless.

"Oh, right, sister, you've finally come all this way to my palace, why don't you show me something new to do? It's really fun," Mingxiu said, pulling her outside.

Mingxiu pulled Huipin along and said mysteriously, "Sister Huipin, I'll take you to a great place!" She said this while laughing excitedly.

Consort Hui looked puzzled, but still followed Myung-soo. She knew Myung-soo wouldn't do anything to her. Along the way, Myung-soo kept explaining things to Consort Hui, who listened quietly without showing much interest.

Finally, they arrived at the door of a room. Myung-soo pushed open the door and said triumphantly to Hye-bin, "This is the perfect place I was talking about!"
