Mingxiu and Kangxi rested in the room for a while. After Mingxiu recovered, she pulled Kangxi to go out.
Although the village is fun, it's definitely not as fun as the street, and she had already promised Baocheng that she would bring him a gift when she returned.
If we don't go shopping, we won't be able to find any gifts for him.
Moreover, Mingxiu also noticed that there should be many things on this estate that Kangxi considered important.
Because Mingxiu sensed that there were many guards in the shadows, she didn't want to stay there any longer, in case something unexpected happened.
Kangxi has finished dealing with all the matters that needed to be dealt with. All that's left is to accompany Mingxiu, so we can let her go wherever she wants.
He had someone put the corn that Mingxiu had picked that morning onto the cart, and then Mingxiu took Kangxi into the city.
Once they reached a more bustling street in the East Market, Mingxiu pulled Kangxi directly off the carriage.
The greatest pleasure of shopping is the act of browsing.
So Mingxiu didn't ride in the carriage anymore; the carriage could just follow behind and carry the things they were going to buy.
Mingxiu led Kangxi to walk through the stalls in front of them, stopping at one after another, liking this and that as they saw it.
Before long, they bought a bunch of small items, and Kangxi could only helplessly follow behind and pay for them.
When they arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, Mingxiu pulled Kangxi inside.
The waiter was clearly a perceptive person. As soon as he saw the two people walk in, he noticed that although the fabric of their clothes wasn't particularly expensive, the style and the demeanor of the two people were not something that could be cultivated in an ordinary family.
He hurriedly went to greet her, "Greetings, Madam! Greetings, Master! I wonder what Madam would like to see? Our Treasure Pavilion is one of the best in the capital."
Mingxiu was startled by the waiter's address of "Master," and it took her a moment to react. She peeked at Kangxi, barely managing to suppress a laugh.
Seeing that Kangxi didn't care, Mingxiu nodded nonchalantly and started browsing in the shop. Kangxi sat on a stool in the hall, and the waiter, being very perceptive, quickly brought him a cup of tea.
Mingxiu turned around and saw that she had all the clothes and fabrics, so she picked out two jade pendants that looked rather interesting.
It's quite a coincidence that one is a jade pendant shaped like a duck and the other is a jade pendant shaped like a cat. The jade material looks quite good. I wonder which genius was willing to carve such good material into such patterns.
However, Mingxiu liked it quite a bit, and could take it back to give to Baocheng.
After making her selections, Mingxiu sat down and had someone bring out the jewelry they had collected.
Mingxiu looked around and took a liking to two sets of headdresses, one made of pearls and the other of amethyst. The styles looked very novel, so she put them away and dragged Kangxi to continue shopping outside.
Then I wandered around outside for an afternoon, listened to a storyteller and drank tea at a teahouse, and finally had a meal outside.
Only then did he leisurely and unhurriedly return home.
The two, who were having a great time, were unaware that the palace was in an uproar. The concubines were furious when they learned that the emperor had not attended court that day, had left the palace, and had taken Mingxiu with him.
Even the Empress Dowager's expression changed rapidly upon hearing the news.
Did she have a misjudgment? Was Kangxi showing too much concern for this Hesheli Mingxiu?
Sumalagu stood to the side, watching the Empress Dowager's expression, and sighed. She couldn't help but think about her princess's thoughts again.
Of course, Mingxiu was unaware of what the people in the palace were thinking. Baocheng, who was quite tired after a day of sightseeing, had already gone back. He had to go to school the next day and couldn't stay up too late.
Mingxiu will have to wait until tomorrow to give him his gift.
When Mingxiu came back, Youyou was still awake, and she kissed her precious daughter.
She was quite tired, so after washing up, she prepared to lie down and go to bed.
Kangxi lay in bed looking at Mingxiu's curvaceous figure beneath her pajamas, and then recalled the torment he had endured throughout the day.
Naturally, they didn't let her off the hook either. The two of them kept going until late at night before stopping, and Mingxiu was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open.
The next day, Kangxi went to bed early. Mingxiu felt movement beside her, but she didn't wake up. She turned over, pulled the blanket over herself, and fell asleep again.
Kangxi looked at Mingxiu's sleeping face, pinched her little nose, and then went to court.
When Mingxiu woke up, it was almost noon and she had finished lunch. It was Green Bamboo who woke her up. If Green Bamboo hadn't woken her up, Mingxiu felt she could have slept forever.
She sat up, yawned, and had someone help her wash up.
The wet nurse had already brought Youyou in. Mingxiu played with the child for a while, then took out the little fish and bells she had bought yesterday made of rice bran. Her daughter quickly started playing with them by herself, leaving her mother, Mingxiu, aside.
Mingxiu looked at the child who didn't want his mother anymore now that he had toys, pouted and looked out the window, just in time to see Yinreng running in happily.
Mingxiu quickly went to greet her.
"Mother Consort, you said yesterday that your son Chenchen would bring a gift. Did you bring it?" Yinreng said cheerfully.
Mingxiu stopped in her tracks as she approached, finding Yinreng's smile incredibly irritating.
And the way I rushed forward to meet him just now—how foolish!
"Yes, find it yourself. It's true that one or two of them don't want their mother anymore once they have toys. Humph, go with your toys." Mingxiu turned around and walked back angrily.
Kangxi was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, not knowing what was wrong, and looked at Green Bamboo.
Green Bamboo smiled awkwardly, gestured to the little princess, and then glanced at Yinreng.
Yinreng was a beat slow to react, and he quickly stepped forward to chase after Mingxiu, saying, "No, no, I must be missing Mother Ming. Did you have a good time yesterday? I miss you so much."
Mingxiu was secretly pleased to hear this, but she tried her best to keep a straight face.
It took Yinreng a long time to coax her before she finally smiled again.
When Yinreng saw Mingxiu smile, he breathed a sigh of relief and gently wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
The cat was right; it's true that women and petty people are the hardest to deal with.
He shouldn't look for a wife so early. Isn't his cartoon appealing enough? Or isn't going out with his older brother more enjoyable? Why bother looking for a wife?
After sighing, Yinreng went to look at his toys.
Soon, among the toys, she found two adorable jade pendants, which she could tell at a glance were bought for her by her mother.
He happily picked up the jade pendant and began to examine it.
Soon it was lunchtime. Today's lunch was corn porridge made with tender corn, as Mingxiu had mentioned yesterday.
They also made corn pancakes.
It's a pity there's no cheese. If there were cheese, I could make cheese corn.
Mingxiu ate the sweet corn pancake with a hint of regret.
Yinreng was also eating happily beside him; he had never eaten this kind of corn before.
The sweet taste is so delicious, and every bite of the corn feels like it bursts in your mouth. It's both delicious and fun.
