Mingxiu pouted, turned around, and continued walking forward.
These lousy men, they clearly like it themselves, but they won't let others like it.
Mingxiu continued walking forward, but this time she wasn't wandering aimlessly; instead, she kept a close eye on the movements around her.
She had just seen that young lady coming this way. Was there still a chance she could run into the brothel here? Thinking of this, Mingxiu became even more excited.
Sure enough, after walking for a short while, they saw a very lively place ahead, with pretty young ladies waving from outside the door.
Mingxiu's eyes lit up immediately, realizing that this must be the legendary brothel.
He pulled Kangxi along, preparing to walk over there.
Kangxi watched Mingxiu walk excitedly forward, then frowned. He had come out to accompany her, but it was clear that the place ahead was not a place she could go.
Kangxi grabbed Mingxiu's hand and pulled her back with a forceful backhand.
Mingxiu was walking forward with great interest when she was suddenly pulled back. Caught off guard, she bumped into Kangxi's chest.
He touched his head, which was slightly red, and glared angrily at Kangxi.
She looked up and saw Kangxi looking at her strangely.
Mingxiu subtly shrank her shoulders.
Kangxi pulled her away in the opposite direction.
Mingxiu could only look reluctantly in the direction of the brothel; she wouldn't be able to see any pretty girls today.
Behind them, Green Bamboo and Liang Jiugong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They really didn't expect Mingxiu to be so audacious as to go in that direction on her own and even lead the Emperor towards the brothel.
Fortunately, the Emperor brought the person back.
Afterwards, the group went to a famous shop in Yangzhou.
Seeing the beautiful Hanfu inside, Mingxiu instantly forgot all her unhappiness from just now.
It spun around happily inside.
Look at this one, touch that one, every piece of clothing seems so beautiful, and they all have a distinct local Yangzhou flavor.
Finally, I came out with a big bag.
Right next to it were jewelry stores and cosmetics shops. After Mingxiu had finished shopping, everyone behind her breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her say that she was tired and wanted to go back.
Even Emperor Kangxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He patted Mingxiu's head, then led her into the carriage to go back.
A group of servants were left behind, looking in the direction of the carriage with puzzlement, still unable to understand how the Empress, a frail woman, could shop so much.
Those of them who had practiced martial arts for years were finding it hard to take it anymore.
In the days that followed, Kangxi no longer had time to go out with Mingxiu. During this time, however, people often came to the garden to see Kangxi.
Kangxi often went out, but he didn't take Mingxiu with him. Mingxiu didn't mind. She usually took Lüzhu and Yulan out to eat, drink, shop and have fun.
Mingxiu was living a very comfortable life. When it was time to set off, she changed into the clothes she had brought from the palace. The moment she put them on, she felt that her waist was a little tighter.
Somewhat bewildered, Mingxiu touched her clothes. Green Bamboo, standing beside her, stared in disbelief. The two exchanged a glance and realized that Mingxiu had indeed gained weight.
Mingxiu touched her waist, which had thickened by several inches, and felt like crying. She had been living too comfortably these days, and the clothes she wore in Yangzhou were mostly loose. Moreover, the two people next to her were like blind people and couldn't see it at all, so they didn't realize that Mingxiu had gained weight.
It's only now that I've truly realized I've gained weight during this period.
Green Bamboo stood to the side watching her mistress, her face dark and gloomy. She swallowed hard and secretly put her hands on her waist.
I don't know if it's just psychological, but I didn't feel like I'd gained weight before, but now I suddenly feel like my waist has gotten much thicker.
The master and servant stared at their waists, looking miserable for a while, before finally accepting the reality.
Prestigious universities are once again facing a period of hardship.
No matter what she ate on the way, Mingxiu insisted on eating her own cucumbers and tomatoes, but she didn't eat them by herself. She always insisted on eating with Kangxi.
The end result was that Kangxi sat there eating, while Mingxiu drooled as she ate her own tasteless vegetables and fruits, all the while watching the delicious food Kangxi was enjoying.
Even the Emperor Kangxi, with his burning gaze, couldn't eat anymore. He tried every possible method to persuade Mingxiu to eat, but to no avail.
Kangxi had no choice but to compromise, and the meals became lighter, at least so that Mingxiu wouldn't find it so unbearable.
When they finally arrived in Hangzhou, Mingxiu had regained her pre-existing figure.
Touching her waist, Mingxiu smiled with satisfaction.
This time, they didn't stay anywhere else, but at a post station, which was similar to the scenery in Yangzhou, but this was Hangzhou.
Hangzhou is known as "Heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below".
Mingxiu was quite interested. Would she be able to see the authentic West Lake here? And Leifeng Pagoda, she wondered if it still existed, and Lingyin Temple.
I wondered if it had snowed on the Broken Bridge. I gazed at the lake, and she longed to see the remaining snow on the Broken Bridge as well.
"Will I have a chance to see these things?" Mingxiu rubbed her hands together excitedly.
This time, Mingxiu and the others did not stay at the post station for long. After entering the post station, Kangxi took Mingxiu directly outside. Hangzhou was very lively at night, with brightly lit streets and colorful lights that made it seem like daytime.
Kangxi was dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit today, holding a fan in his hand and fanning himself from time to time. His delicate and deep features appeared even more rugged and handsome against the backdrop of his clothes. Young girls on the street would occasionally turn their heads to secretly look at Kangxi. Mingxiu secretly thought to herself, "It's not even that hot in the weather. I wonder what he's fanning himself for."
