Life was going too smoothly and it became a bit boring. Mingxiu lay on the bed, idly playing with the willow catkins in her hand, her legs crossed, looking rather nonchalant.
As the weather gradually turned colder, Mingxiu became increasingly reluctant to go out. She would mostly just wander around the courtyard on weekdays, and even Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Yinreng could only see her when they came to Yonghe Palace.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't stand her lazy and undisciplined manner. He had mentioned it several times and wanted to take action to cure her laziness. However, he was indeed busy lately, and every time he tried to discipline her, she would always manage to fool him with kisses and hugs.
As a result, this has not been achieved.
He sighed, deciding he could only discipline her when he was less busy and had more free time.
Yinreng, on the other hand, seemed thoughtful as he looked at Mingxiu's lazy demeanor.
Soon after, Mingxiu, who was lying dead in her bedroom, received a gift from Yinreng.
Mingxiu looked at the puppy in front of her with some surprise.
The puppy looked to be about three or four months old. It was pure white, covered in fluffy short fur, and had big, watery eyes looking at Mingxiu. It was barking, but because it was still young and hadn't been weaned, its barking sounded very childish.
In an instant, he captivated everyone in Yonghe Palace.
Mingxiu loved it so much that she squatted down and gently stroked the puppy's head, smoothing its fur. She found the touch incredibly comforting.
She looked up at Yinreng and said, "Thank you, Baocheng. I love this gift so much."
Yinreng smiled. Although he was a little jealous of how gently Consort Ming treated the puppy, he still spoke up, thinking of his purpose: "I'm glad Consort Ming likes it. This puppy was specially found by me. It's the most beautiful one in the palace. I sent it here to keep Consort Ming entertained. Please take good care of it."
Mingxiu nodded, unaware of the implications, simply touched that Baocheng cared about her.
I made up my mind to take good care of this puppy.
Reluctantly, I patted the dog's head and told someone to prepare some goat milk so it could drink some later.
Mingxiu happily pulled Yinreng aside to discuss the puppy's name. The two discussed it for a long time but still couldn't decide. Mingxiu didn't like any of the names Yinreng suggested, such as "Zhaocai" (meaning "bringing in wealth"), "Jinbao" (meaning "bringing in treasure"), and "Pikachu." Mingxiu wanted to drag the system out and beat it up. What kind of things had Yinreng been showing him?
In the end, Mingxiu made the final decision and named her 'Feifei'.
Mingxiu listened to the name with satisfaction.
Yinreng, standing beside him, didn't understand why the dog was named that, but since it was a gift for Consort Ming, the right to name it naturally belonged to her, so he could only accept the name.
Although he felt the name wasn't imposing at all.
After deciding on the name, Mingxiu, watching the person feeding the puppies, pulled Yang Yinreng along to prepare the little nest that Feifei would live in.
After setting up Feifei's little nest, we put the puppy in our own little room to let it get used to the environment.
Then stick the twig with the dog's scent into an open space not far away, and then have someone take it to the toilet a few times.
Looking at the still imperfect doghouse, Mingxiu sighed and prepared to prepare a better one later.
She had previously owned a cat and a dog, but she preferred the dog. She felt that cats were a bit difficult to tame; her cats had been with her for several years, but they still dared to bite her. However, dogs wouldn't do that, and they would wait for her at the door when she was about to come home.
Mingxiu feels healed every time she sees her dog.
The problem is that it sheds a lot of fur. There are cats everywhere in the house, and the amount of cleaning can't keep up with the amount of shedding.
And you also need to take your dog for walks.
Thinking of this, Mingxiu looked at Yinreng in disbelief, only to see Yinreng smiling at her.
Mingxiu knew what he was thinking when he sent the dog; he was trying to get her to move around more in different ways.
She smiled helplessly. Was she really that lazy? But she still didn't want to let her child down.
Oh well, it's just a matter of wandering around a bit more. She can do it, she can manage it.
After having lunch with Yinreng in the palace, Yinreng left.
Inside the Qianqing Palace.
"Father promised me that as long as Consort Ming goes out more, I will be allowed to do this." Yinreng stood below, his eyes wide, arguing with Kangxi.
Kangxi continued to read the memorials without changing his expression: "I have agreed to your request, but your mother has not yet gone out for a stroll. Moreover, your mother has always been very good to you, so it is only right that you show her filial piety."
Yinreng stared wide-eyed at Kangxi, clutching his chest with both hands, seemingly unable to believe that his imperial father could be so shameless as to say such things.
Kangxi gently raised his eyes to look at the person staring at him with wide, incredulous eyes. A slight smile appeared on his lips, but when he thought about what the child was going to do, he instantly wiped the smile away. There was no way he could agree to it.
Seeing his father's unwavering resolve, Yinreng stepped forward and began to earnestly persuade him: "Father, you must believe that I can really do this. Just think about how hard it was to pave the cement roads in the capital. If someone were to carelessly throw excrement on them, along with some rotten vegetables and meat, how smelly would the roads be?"
Ignoring the growing darkening of Kangxi's face as he listened to Yinreng's description, he continued, "Father, if people from foreign countries or elsewhere come to the capital, they will appreciate the clean cement roads, but seeing them dirty and smelly will definitely have a negative impact."
Kangxi looked up at Yinreng, who was still describing the situation, his face darkening. "What you said is quite good, but can you guarantee that the method you described will solve these problems and control those things?"
When Kangxi recalled the cockroaches mentioned in Yinreng's grand plan to clean up the garbage, he couldn't help but show a look of disgust.
How much better can a dense swarm of cockroaches be than garbage?
Yinreng sighed helplessly, finding it incredibly difficult to persuade his imperial father: "How about this, instead of cockroaches, I'll use earthworms first. If it works well, Father, you can't stop me from improving the sanitation in the capital."
Looking down at his son, Kangxi saw that he was clearly only five or six years old, yet he was always thinking about causing trouble.
It's still the kind of thing where they insist on his consent to cause trouble.
Looking at his son, who was determined to achieve his goal, and thinking that the earthworm was indeed much better: "Alright, I agree then, but if it doesn't work out, you'd better study hard and stop thinking about nonsense, understand?"
