Imperial Study
Mingxiu, dressed in a light pink palace dress, stood beside the table, yawning from time to time. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was already past nine o'clock at night. She stretched her legs to relax her tired feet.
Switch legs again, and mentally encourage yourself, "Almost there, almost over, Hesheli Mingxiu, just hang in there!"
Mingxiu, preoccupied with relieving her own exhaustion, was unaware of how alluring she appeared in Kangxi's eyes.
As Kangxi held his pen and the memorial, he suddenly felt dizzy. A young woman's already impressive figure swayed beside him, making his throat burn with rage.
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Mingxiu's wrist, which was grinding, and pulled her into his arms, sitting her on his lap. Mingxiu cried out and instantly woke up, terrified. She hurriedly struggled to get up and twisted and turned on Kangxi's lap.
Kangxi gripped her slender waist and gently tightened his grip, making Mingxiu sit even more firmly. He let out a muffled groan, his voice hoarse, "Don't move."
Mingxiu froze for a moment, feeling the heat beneath her buttocks, her face flushed red, and she truly dared not move.
Looking up, I realized that Liang Jiugong had already left sometime earlier.
Mingxiu panicked a little; she couldn't understand this development. How could this happen?
Sensing the unease of the person in his arms, Kangxi chuckled, "What's wrong? Aren't your legs tired? Sit down and rest."
His warm breath tickled Mingxiu's ear, making her shiver. "No need, Your Majesty. My legs aren't tired. I'll get up now."
Mingxiu struggled slightly but remained motionless, looking somewhat bewildered.
The large, hot hand on her waist was still gently caressing her, and Mingxiu felt her face growing redder and redder.
The room was quiet, and Mingxiu felt like she was about to suffocate from the heat all around her.
"I ask you, at the palace banquet that day, you stared at Prince Yu, did you like him?" After a long while, Kangxi touched Mingxiu's waist and asked.
Ah! What Prince Yu? Mingxiu looked up in confusion, her watery eyes staring at Kangxi with a question in them.
Kangxi, understanding the meaning in Mingxiu's eyes, remained silent for a moment.
Mingxiu thought for a moment before remembering that it must be the man in purple at the palace banquet. Mingxiu blushed slightly, not expecting to be caught looking at a handsome man. She chuckled and said, "No, Your Majesty, this servant just didn't recognize him and took a few extra glances."
"Hmph, really? Then is he very handsome?" Kangxi asked cryptically.
Mingxiu's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, the Emperor is so handsome, and his concubines are also very beautiful. The Emperor is truly blessed."
Mingxiu felt happy just thinking about the beautiful ladies at the banquet, and the dancers who performed. Their slender waists were truly graceful, like the swaying waists of the Chu palace. She now understood the joy of King Ling of Chu.
Seeing Mingxiu lost in thought, Kangxi slapped her bottom and asked in a gloomy tone, "Then who do you think is more handsome, me or Prince Yu?"
Mingxiu was slapped on the bottom and almost jumped up, but the Emperor pulled her back down by the waist. Her face flushed as she replied, "Of course, Your Majesty is more handsome. Prince Yu can't compare to Your Majesty."
She was speaking from the heart. In terms of appearance alone, the two were quite similar, but the emperor just happened to be the object of her affections, and with his aura of authority, he was undeniably handsome.
Sensing the sincerity in Mingxiu's words, Kangxi smiled and loosened his grip slightly, allowing Mingxiu to turn the page. After reading each page, he would pinch Mingxiu's waist to make her turn the page.
Mingxiu's body was quite ticklish, and she couldn't take it for long. Taking advantage of Kangxi's relaxation, she turned to the side and stood up from her.
"Your Majesty, it is getting late, and the Crown Prince still needs me, so I would like to take my leave." With that, he turned and ran away.
Watching Mingxiu flee, Kangxi rubbed his fingers together, a determined glint in his eyes.
Back in her room, Mingxiu touched her slightly flushed cheeks and took a sip of water. "The Emperor is interested in her now." Mingxiu wasn't stupid; even if she hadn't eaten pork, she'd seen pigs run. She easily knew that the Emperor had taken a liking to her.
Mingxiu was somewhat troubled. It was definitely not true that she disliked the emperor, but it was also useless to say that she liked him a lot. She simply liked the emperor's appearance.
But if she were to enter the harem, she would have to fight with the other concubines. Just thinking about it gave Mingxiu a headache. If she were to fight with them, she might be sold off without even knowing it.
And most importantly, if she were to enter the harem, she certainly wouldn't be able to take care of Yinreng all the time.
No, she still can't enter the harem. The Crown Prince is still the most important. Besides, the Crown Prince is a guarantee. In this life, she has the system to teach her, so no matter what happens, it won't be worse than in the last life.
But the emperor's favor is not guaranteed. Men in this world are all attracted to beautiful women, and she doesn't think the emperor will still like her after a while.
Mingxiu made up her mind to follow the Crown Prince and keep her distance from the Emperor. She figured the Emperor would change his mind soon.
Having made up her mind, Mingxiu was ready to give Yinreng the golden finger right now.
However, plans can't keep up with changes, and what happened next caught Mingxiu off guard.
Mingxiu got up and crawled into the space to look at the golden finger on the table. She had learned about it before. It was called a cub system, but it was more like a nanny taking care of a child. It was just a nanny who knew a lot. It could also change the way it communicated according to Yinreng's mental state. It was like a smart Baidu Encyclopedia that knew all kinds of things.
Mingxiu is satisfied that the system will not leak anything related to her. She doesn't care about the specifics, but she is confident that the system will not fail to provide such a guarantee as to corrupt children.
So Mingxiu happily clicked on Yinreng's name and sent the system to Yinreng, who was asleep.
Having resolved the matter on her own, Mingxiu felt relieved and happily took a shower before going to bed.
The next day, Mingxiu got up early and noticed something strange about the seemingly normal Yinreng. She wondered if Yinreng didn't find it strange either. Suddenly, something popped into her mind.
Finally, while Yinreng was eating, Mingxiu couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, did you sleep well last night?"
Yin nodded, shaking his little head happily, and said, "It was great, Aunt Mingxiu! I slept so well last night, and someone even told me a story. Although I forgot what it was about, I was still very happy."
Telling a story?
Mingxiu understood. Could it be that the system appeared in Yinreng's mind late at night and was ignored by the sleeping Yinreng?
No wonder, Yinreng didn't seem strange at all.
Alright, the system will come out sooner or later anyway, we'll see then.
Seeing that Yinreng was about to go out to find his older brother after finishing his meal, Mingxiu had someone follow him out.
Whether it's because they're still young or something else, Consort Hui no longer prevents Yinreng and Yinzhi from playing together, which has actually made the two brothers' relationship better and better.
