Hehe, I knew you'd ask me, "I got this piece by chance, and I thought it sounded nice, so I learned to play it. It's pretty good, isn't it?"

Kangxi nodded and didn't ask any further questions. "What's the deal with this chair?" Now that he had some free time and was paying attention to his surroundings, the first thing that caught Kangxi's attention was naturally the chair he was sitting on.

Mentioning this made her wide awake. She sat up abruptly from Kangxi's lap and pointed to the chair beneath her, saying, "Your Majesty, this is my favorite chair. Isn't it comfortable? I feel like I could fall asleep any moment sitting on it."

Mingxiu said proudly that the craftsmanship at that time was not so advanced, and Mingxiu had put a lot of effort into making this chair.

I originally wanted to give one to Yinreng, but I didn't have enough materials, so I had to make do with him for now. He's just a kid and doesn't really need it. I should prioritize her own.

So Mingxiu enjoyed it without any qualms.

Kangxi felt the chair beneath him; it was indeed comfortable. Although it wasn't suitable for sitting on ordinary days, it was fine for relaxing in the evening.

Nodding, "It really is very comfortable; you certainly know how to enjoy yourself."

Having successfully persuaded him, Mingxiu lay back in Kangxi's arms, her head pressed against his chest, and began to interrogate him: "Your Majesty, I heard from Baocheng that he asked you to give me first place before, but Your Majesty refused. Why is that?"

Sensing the unfriendly tone in Mingxiu's words, Kangxi smiled slightly: "I just believe that my beloved consort can win on her own. Besides, if it were decided in advance, not only would it be unfair to others, but I doubt my beloved consort would bother to dress up and work hard to improve herself. In that case, I would not have the opportunity to see such a beautiful beloved consort."

Hearing this, Mingxiu secretly rolled her eyes in Kangxi's arms, but she knew in her heart that what he said was true. Normally, she would never work so hard. A lazy bum would never be ambitious. At most, she would just turn over and try to smooth things out.

"Am I not beautiful at other times?" Mingxiu stretched out her finger and gently circled it around Kangxi's chest.

Kangxi grabbed the hand that was playing around on his chest and said ambiguously, "My beloved concubine is very beautiful, but she was especially beautiful yesterday. However, what I love most is when she is crying and begging me to stop in bed, her whole body flushed red."

Mingxiu's face flushed red instantly, and she muttered under her breath, "You pervert!"

Kangxi acted as if nothing was wrong, letting Mingxiu nestle in his arms while he picked up the fruit plate on the small table next to him and ate it bite by bite with a fork.

He would occasionally feed Mingxiu a piece of grape. When Kangxi fed Mingxiu grapes again, she finally couldn't help herself and raised her hand to stop him. She didn't really like these grapes; they were too sweet and didn't have any sour grape flavor at all.

Kangxi then placed the fruit plate back on the table, saying, "If my beloved concubine doesn't like it, then she won't eat it. It's my turn to eat next."

After saying that, he picked up Mingxiu and sat up directly from the sofa. He closed the window, carried Mingxiu to the chair next to him, and kneaded her buttocks with his large hands. The force was so strong that Mingxiu trembled all over.

His face began to flush. Looking at the beautiful Mingxiu in front of him, Kangxi picked her up and turned her over so that she was facing him directly, with her legs placed on either side of him.

"Your Majesty," Mingxiu raised her eyes, blinked gently, and looked at him teasingly.

Kangxi's eyes darkened at this, and he chuckled. How dare they tease him? It seems the previous lesson was too lenient.

Mingxiu was wearing her nightgown, which was torn open by Kangxi with a ripping sound, revealing a light green, wavy bodice underneath. This was a special outfit that Mingxiu had chosen for today's clothes.

The sound of the bed curtains swaying never stopped throughout the night, and even the moon outside the window shyly hid behind the clouds. The sounds only gradually subsided as dawn broke.

"Liang Jiugong, Water"

The person standing outside, who was dozing off, immediately woke up when they heard the sounds coming from inside and started working.

At midday, the faint rays of the sun shone in, startling the sleeping figures inside.

Mingxiu closed her eyes, frowned, rolled over and went to the deepest part of the bed to continue sleeping soundly.

Kangxi sat up slightly and drew the curtains even tighter, looking at the slightly translucent curtains with a hint of helplessness.

Mingxiu doesn't like completely dark environments. Even when sleeping at night, she needs some light, so she never likes to use thick curtains and usually uses light-colored curtains such as white or blue.

It looks nice, but it doesn't block out light very well.

However, Mingxiu herself really liked it, so she wouldn't allow anyone else to change it.

Seeing Mingxiu's clothes were disheveled and her skin was exposed due to the vigorous movements just now, Kangxi's eyes darkened. Last night was too intense, and there were quite a few marks on Mingxiu's skin.

He helped her pull the blanket up a bit, looked at Mingxiu's innocent sleeping face, gently tapped the tip of her nose, and then got up to let Liang Jiugong come in to serve her and help her wash up.

When Mingxiu woke up, it was almost time for dinner. Chun Chun woke up because she was hungry. Feeling her stomach rumbling, Mingxiu reluctantly opened her eyes and prepared to get up and eat something.

Hearing the noise coming from inside the house, Luzhu knew that Mingxiu had woken up, so she quickly went in.

"Your Highness, if you don't get better, I'll have to wake you up. If you keep sleeping like this, you won't be able to sleep at night," Green Bamboo said as she served Mingxiu.

Looking at the sky outside, Mingxiu was speechless. It was all Kangxi's fault. If it weren't for him, would she have been able to sleep until dinner time?

And what's wrong with my brain? I still haven't learned my lesson and I still went and seduced him.

When the servants saw the marks all over their mistress's body, they blushed secretly. Only Green Bamboo, who had seen many such scenes, was able to control himself and not embarrass his mistress.

Dinner consisted of Mingxiu's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, lotus root sandwiches, stir-fried lotus seeds, and beef brisket with potatoes. Mingxiu ate heartily and devoured all the food on the table.

Touching her round, bulging belly, she lay comfortably on her own private sofa.

The happiness brought by carbohydrates is just too strong. After dinner, I took a bath and comfortably read a storybook. At the same time, I lamented how decadent I was, not having done anything all day, but at the same time, I lay motionless on the sofa without feeling any guilt.

If it weren't for Kangxi tormenting her all night, she wouldn't have fallen into such a state of depravity. Touching her smooth belly, she couldn't feel any excess fat, and this was compensation for her strenuous exercise.
