Anyway, there's no end to reviewing these memorials.
I decided to go listen to some singing and dancing to lift my spirits, and maybe I could also invite Wei Shi over for a chat.
Thinking about it, he sent someone to summon Wei Shi to accompany him.
Before long, Lady Wei, supported by a palace maid, gracefully made her way to the Qianqing Palace.
Everyone in the palace was clutching their handkerchiefs, their eyes fixed on Lady Wei as if they wanted to kill her with their gazes.
Emperor Kangxi was sitting on the couch when he saw Lady Wei approaching. He beckoned her in.
After Lady Wei entered, she greeted Emperor Kangxi and then sat down next to him. Emperor Kangxi then led Lady Wei to listen to the songs and dances.
With a wine glass beside him, he would take a sip from time to time. He thought that relaxing would improve his mood, but Kangxi felt that his mood had not improved at all.
Looking at Wei Shi next to him, who was like a wooden statue, he felt even less interested.
If it were Mingxiu or someone else sitting next to him, he could have discussed it with her, but this Wei family member just sat there.
Thinking about his daily interactions with Mingxiu, Kangxi felt even more uncomfortable.
He waved his hand, stopping the singing and dancing, and then told Wei Shi to go back first.
Although Lady Wei was somewhat flustered and didn't know why she had returned home so early today, she was usually not one to talk much, so even though she knew that Kangxi was in a bad mood, she still obediently went back.
Inside Yonghe Palace, Yinreng came specifically to comfort Mingxiu because he was worried about her feelings.
Yinreng sat at the table and cautiously looked up at Mingxiu, who was practicing calligraphy. "Mother Ming, how are you feeling today? I heard that you and Father Emperor seemed to have a disagreement."
Mingxiu glanced at Yinreng with amusement. "You know quite a lot, huh?"
Yinreng chuckled and said, "Mother Consort, has Father Emperor done something to upset you? Tell me, and I'll speak to Father Emperor about it."
Yinreng said with a serious expression.
Mingxiu glanced at Yinreng with amusement, put down her pen, walked around the table, stood opposite Yinreng, and pinched Yinreng's little face with amusement.
It was so soft and comfortable to squeeze. After I finished squeezing it, I felt a little better and then I said, "Alright, children shouldn't worry about adult matters. Besides, this matter is Ming's mother's fault and has little to do with your father. After a while, Ming's mother will go and apologize to your father. You should study hard and be careful. If you worry so much at such a young age, you'll turn into a little old man."
Yinreng frowned and retorted, "Your subject will never become a little old man."
Mingxiu chuckled. She hadn't expected him to focus on this. It seemed that this little guy had already reached the age where he liked to show off.
Yinreng was indeed at the age where he was vain, but it wasn't for others to see. He would feel good as long as he looked in the mirror every day and saw his handsome self.
Therefore, I look in the mirror every day before going out.
However, I said this today mainly to comfort Consort Ming.
Mingxiu smiled and ruffled his hair.
Looking at Consort Ming's expression, Yinreng felt that it really wasn't a big deal. However, since Consort Ming had said that she would go to apologize to Father Emperor once she had calmed down, he was glad to see her.
That should be fine after a while, since Father Emperor won't really blame Consort Ming anyway.
Thinking of this, Yinreng's mood improved again, and he felt like playing with Chenghuan again.
The two children huddled together and started playing, chattering away.
Mingxiu twitched her lips as she watched the two children playing together. "Isn't it said that older children don't like to play with younger children?"
Why does Yinreng enjoy teasing his younger siblings so much?
Think back to when she was little, she hated playing with kids younger than her.
Watching the two of them having so much fun, Mingxiu sighed. Although she still couldn't figure out who had given her the tasteless and colorless medicine she wanted, she felt nothing at all.
But right now, the most important thing is to get rid of the medication in the body first.
As for Kangxi, she should apologize and soften her stance after she has adjusted her mindset.
Emperor Kangxi was in a bad mood these past two days, and he was quick to criticize anything he saw, so naturally he didn't want to go into the harem.
Then he heard even worse news: Yu Chenglong, the Governor-General of Liangjiang, had contracted malaria while returning to Beijing to report on his mission, and was now in critical condition.
When Emperor Kangxi heard the news, he immediately stood up and summoned the imperial physician to the Yu residence to check on Yu Chenglong's condition.
Yinreng was originally interning at the Ministry of Rites, but Kangxi had been annoyed by his constant chatter these past few days, so he sent him to the Ministry of Rites to study.
Yinreng was studying well when he overheard people gathered together discussing that someone had contracted malaria.
Yinreng's eyes widened instantly, and he hurriedly ran towards the Qianqing Palace.
When Yinreng arrived at the Qianqing Palace, panting, he heard his imperial physician reporting to his father about Yu Chenglong's condition.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yu contracted malaria due to emotional distress and the fatigue of his journey. His condition is not good. When I arrived, Lord Yu had already fainted and was so thin that his bones were protruding."
The imperial physician stood there and spoke respectfully.
"Is there any way to treat this? No matter what medicine you use, you must cure Minister Yu," Kangxi said sternly. Yu Chenglong was someone he had recently decided to use exclusively.
Now that he has suddenly contracted malaria, Kangxi's mood has worsened.
The imperial physician's face was somewhat grim. "Your Majesty, I remember that malaria was previously cured with quinine from foreigners, but the Imperial Hospital no longer has quinine, and I really have no other choice."
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Yinreng heard the words "quinine" as he walked in.
Kangxi looked up and saw Yinreng walking in, panting, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? What brings you here? Can't you see I'm still discussing things with the imperial physician?"
"Father, I know I was wrong, but I was worried when I heard that some ministers had contracted malaria. I just heard the imperial physician mention quinine, and I think I saw it at Consort Ming's place before."
Oh, Kangxi's anger subsided and he regained his spirits. How could Mingxiu have that?
However, Yu Chenglong's condition clearly could not wait, so Kangxi hurriedly sent Liang Jiugong to Yonghe Palace to ask Mingxiu if she had quinine.
When Mingxiu heard that Liang Jiugong had come to Yonghe Palace, she was a little curious. When she heard that it was Kangxi who had sent him to ask for quinine, she was a little surprised. "I do have some here, but His Majesty is ill."
Mingxiu was a little surprised; she hadn't heard of it.
