The man on top of her screamed in pain and tightened his grip even more. Mingxiu's voice broke again, unable to produce a complete sound.

By the end, Mingxiu was unconscious and her voice was hoarse.

Kangxi carried the person in his arms to wash up, wiped them clean, dressed them in clean pajamas, and then held them in his arms before going to sleep.

Habits are a terrible thing. I was not used to such intimate positions at first, but now I am really used to them.

Mingxiu was sleeping soundly in the morning when she suddenly felt someone moving beside her. She turned over without paying attention and continued sleeping.

She knew this noise was from when Kangxi got up in the morning; she was already used to it.

But when Mingxiu turned around, she suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe. It felt like something heavy was pressing on her chest, making it hard to catch her breath. She shook her head from side to side, but still couldn't breathe. She opened her eyes in discomfort.

She saw that the person who should have been going to court was now standing in front of her bed with a smile on his face. When he saw that she was awake, he quietly withdrew his mischievous hand.

Mingxiu glared at Kangxi, her eyes signaling what he was going to do.

Kangxi shook his head and said that he was fine, he just wanted to take one last look at his beloved concubine before he left, and also let his beloved concubine take one last look at him.

"Alright, I'm going to court now. My beloved concubine can sleep a little longer." With that, he waved and left without a trace.

Mingxiu was left sitting on the bed, still somewhat dazed, and was speechless when she came to her senses.

Annoyed, she glared at her leg, but accidentally pulled a cramp. She clutched her leg and cried out in pain. Hearing the noise, Green Bamboo quickly came in, followed by Yu Qing and Yu Lan.

Seeing Mingxiu's actions, he went over and helped her massage her cramped leg.

After all that fuss, Mingxiu was sleepy, but her drowsiness vanished in an instant.

I had no choice but to get up, wash up, and have breakfast.

Looking at the still-dark sky outside, I was speechless, wondering what was wrong with Emperor Kangxi today.

When Yinreng got up, Mingxiu was already sitting at the table eating. Seeing Mingxiu sitting in front of him, Yinreng rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After realizing he wasn't seeing things, he looked at Mingxiu with a puzzled expression, completely baffled as to why she had gotten up so early today.

I knew she was the kind of person who wouldn't get out of bed until late morning.

Mingxiu naturally saw the surprised look in Yinreng's eyes, and for a rare moment she reflected on how lazy she was that it surprised everyone.

It seems that's true. She usually sleeps until very late and eats lunch together with her bed. She only gets up early when she has to pay her respects to the Imperial Noble Consort, but she always catches up on sleep afterward.

When they get up, they're either playing mahjong or reading storybooks in their chairs. Thinking about it that way, they really are quite lazy, huh?

But it only lasted a moment, and she quickly adjusted. She usually doesn't have anything to do, so why get up so early? Sleeping more is good for her health.

Besides, she hasn't been idle. She's been busy for a long time and has done everything she could. This is all the reward for her hard work, so what's wrong with enjoying it a little?

snort!

After figuring things out, she called Yinreng over to eat. Today's breakfast was steamed buns and eight-treasure porridge, which she loved to drink. The steamed buns were her favorites: pork and scallion, crab roe, and eggplant. They were all super delicious.

Not only Mingxiu liked it, but Yinreng also liked it very much, especially the eggplant-flavored buns, which were so delicious that he would always have an extra bowl of porridge with them.

Today was no exception; Mingxiu and Yinreng enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

After finishing his meal, Yinreng went to school. Being the emperor's child is tough. Whether it's the crown prince or a prince, they all have a hard time. This was Mingxiu's only thought after learning about Yinreng's and the others' study arrangements.

But there's nothing we can do about it. We usually joke about having a throne to inherit, but this is actually true.

After breakfast, and seeing Yinreng off, Mingxiu wandered aimlessly in the courtyard. The weather was neither too cold nor too hot. After strolling around for a while, she asked someone to bring out her hanging chair.

Sitting in a hanging chair, completely encased in it, covered with a blanket, surrounded by fruit, and leisurely reading a wrapped sketchbook.

She was tired of reading all the picture books here; they were all stories about poor scholars and rich young ladies, or stories about fox spirits and scholars. She was getting quite aesthetically fatigued.

Having no other choice, Mingxiu found some nice sketchbooks in her space, wrapped them up, and took them out to look at.

Mingxiu was engrossed in reading the book in her hand, a collection of stories about a protagonist's cultivation and his harem. She used to hate reading these kinds of novels, thinking they were just too brainless, but now she actually found it quite enjoyable.

When Mingxiu was halfway through reading, she automatically got up, stretched her body, and then sat back down to continue reading, not giving Lüzhu, who was about to speak, a chance to say anything.

If it weren't for someone constantly complaining, and Emperor Kangxi confiscating the book after finding out, and giving her a severe scolding, she wouldn't have been so proactive.

When he got tired, he rested on the recliner for a while, then wrapped himself tightly in a blanket and lay down in the courtyard to sleep. He was so tired last night that he was woken up by Emperor Kangxi this morning.

She hadn't rested well at all, and after barely managing to hold on for a while, she was really exhausted. After dozing off for a short while, it was lunchtime. She ate a few bites and then went back to her room to sleep.

With a cushion tucked between her legs and her arms wrapped around it, Mingxiu drew the curtains and drifted off to sleep comfortably.

She had just lain down when she felt someone pushing her. Mingxiu frowned in annoyance and turned over to continue sleeping, but the movements behind her didn't stop, and the sounds grew louder and louder.

Mingxiu opened her eyes irritably and looked at Lüzhu, giving her a look that she had better have something very important to say, otherwise disturbing her sleep would have serious consequences.

Mingxiu was still thinking when Green Bamboo's next words completely baffled her.

"What? Consort Wuya of Chengqian Palace is about to give birth!" Mingxiu looked at Lüzhu in surprise.

Green Bamboo nodded.

Mingxiu fell silent for a moment, then realized that it was indeed going to happen in the next few days.

Has anyone gone over there?

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort is certainly in charge. The Emperor hasn't arrived yet. Would Your Majesty like to go there?"

Mingxiu frowned, thought for a long time, and then shook her head. She just told people to keep an eye on the movements in Chengqian Palace, and she herself would not go there. Neither Wuya nor the Imperial Noble Consort were easy to mess with, and Wuya's belly size was not normal, so she would rather not join in the fun.

She instructed the person who went to gather information to come and inform her if they saw that everyone had gone, and then she would go over.

If no one else goes, she doesn't plan to get involved in this mess.
