You don't really need to drink it if you sneeze.
But seeing the cold gaze of Consort Ming, he knew that refusing to drink was impossible, so he had no choice but to drink it obediently.
Yinzhi watched quietly from the side, not daring to utter a sound, for fear that Mingxiu would remember him, because he had also sneezed just now, though not as loudly as Yinreng's.
Then, she saw a bowl of ginger milk tea in front of her. She glanced at her mother and then at the gloating look in her younger brother's eyes, and could only grit her teeth and drink it.
Mingxiu nodded in satisfaction after seeing that the two of them had drunk their fill. She thought to herself that she couldn't see that, but she was dreaming. Since she had promised Consort Hui that she would take good care of Yinzhi, she would definitely keep her word.
It's impossible to get sick.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Mingxiu kept getting away with things, and finally managed to get through the banquet.
The Empress Dowager had already gone back to rest due to exhaustion.
Mingxiu leisurely returned to her Fanghua Residence. Tonight's dinner was very sumptuous, especially since many of the dishes were ones that Mingxiu had never eaten before. They were made with delicious and beautiful names, which she liked very much.
They were all secretly considering whether they could bring the chefs from Shengjing back to the capital.
Whether you go to her small kitchen or the imperial kitchen, as long as there's something to eat, that's fine.
Unfortunately, Mingxiu's idea was cut short before it even began, because she wasn't the only one with this idea. Others had the same idea, and someone secretly leaked the news. A minister in Shengjing really liked the chef's cooking and was reluctant to let him enter the palace, so he secretly negotiated terms with the chef.
The cook didn't want to go to the palace either. He felt things were fine as they were; there were generally no difficult people to serve, it was his hometown, and his family was still here. Naturally, he didn't want to go to the palace. Although going to the palace would mean being close to the emperor, there would be a bunch of difficult people to serve, and it wouldn't be his hometown anymore; he would be far away from his family.
He's too old to want to leave his hometown.
Unfortunately, Mingxiu didn't know that the chef had already decided not to go. After finishing her meal, she went to wash up. When she came out, she saw that Kangxi had already finished washing up and was sitting on the bed.
Mingxiu blinked. When she came back, the Emperor hadn't arrived yet, but now that she had just finished washing up, the Emperor was already sitting there.
That's way too fast.
However, looking at the slightly dampness on Kangxi's braid hanging by the bedside, it was clear that he had just finished bathing.
"Your Majesty, are you not busy tonight?" Mingxiu asked curiously.
When Kangxi saw Mingxiu come out, he put the book aside and beckoned Mingxiu to come over.
Mingxiu obediently walked over and sat in Kangxi's lap.
"I didn't come here for anything major. I just need to meet with my ministers, rest for a while, and then wait for the Empress Dowager to continue resting here. The rest of you can continue on your way," Kangxi said slowly, rubbing Mingxiu's back.
Mingxiu nodded. "Isn't the Empress Dowager coming with us?"
Although she also disliked the Empress Dowager and felt somewhat uncomfortable with her presence, she still had to ask the questions.
Kangxi nodded. "The Empress Dowager is not in good health. We originally wanted her to come here to recuperate. There are a few hot springs here where she can rest for a while, and then we can travel together when we return."
Mingxiu's eyes lit up. She couldn't hear anything else but the sound of hot springs: "Your Majesty, there's a hot spring here!"
Kangxi found Mingxiu's bright eyes amusing. "I'll take you there tomorrow."
Mingxiu nodded happily. "A hot spring? It's been so long since I've been there."
She would naturally be very happy to go to a hot spring. Actually, she would prefer to go by herself, but if she told him, Emperor Kangxi would probably be angry. So she decided to wait for Emperor Kangxi to take her there once, and then she could go by herself next time once she knew where it was.
Mingxiu secretly thought things through, and once she received benefits, she became even more attentive to Kangxi.
It wasn't convenient for them to be on the road before, and Kangxi had been abstaining from sex for quite some time. But when he suddenly met Mingxiu, who was so passionate and fiery, and since they had nothing else to do the next day, the two of them went at it like crazy, and the noise in the house only stopped when the sky began to lighten.
Mingxiu had tears in her eyes, and she was on the verge of tears but couldn't. She just wanted to slap her past self.
How could she not control her mouth and her hands? She knew she couldn't handle it, yet she still couldn't resist teasing Kangxi.
The last thought in his mind was that he must control his mouth from now on. Then he yawned, snuggled into Kangxi's arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
Kangxi held the person in his arms contentedly, washed them with water, and then fell asleep with them in his arms.
When Mingxiu woke up the next day, she heard her stomach rumbling. She moved her body slightly and felt sore all over, especially in a certain place that was hard to describe, as if she had been chased.
Mingxiu cursed Kangxi under her breath and began calling for Lüzhu to come in and take the test.
Hearing the noise coming from inside the house, Green Bamboo quickly pushed the door open and came in.
"Your Majesty, you're awake!" Green Bamboo walked to the bedside and looked at her mistress.
Mingxiu nodded and let Lüzhu help her up. "What time is it now?"
"It was shortly after lunchtime."
Mingxiu was speechless. She cursed the dog of a man again. No wonder her stomach was rumbling. It was bound to rumble.
Although I ate quite a lot last night, the intense exercise at night, plus sleeping all morning, meant that the food in my stomach had long been digested, so I was hungry again.
After having Green Bamboo help him get dressed and wash up, Mingxiu quickly and happily ate his belated lunch. After calming his internal organs, he felt like he had come back to life.
I secretly drank a cup of the spiritual spring water and felt a little better.
Before she could rest for long, a eunuch from Liang Jiugong's side came to deliver a message: "Your Majesty, the Emperor said that if Your Majesty wakes up, you should get ready and go to the hot springs in a little while."
Mingxiu's eyes lit up.
Suddenly, she no longer felt tired and asked Green Bamboo to help her pack her things so they could go to the hot springs.
The hot spring wasn't far from here. Mingxiu, with Green Bamboo, followed the little eunuch and walked forward for a short while before collapsing.
Mingxiu left Green Bamboo waiting outside and went inside excitedly with her things in hand.
When she arrived, there were already palace maids serving her inside. Mingxiu went over, tidied herself up a bit, and then someone led her into the hot spring.
The hot springs here are small, natural ones, each one covered by something with white gauze hanging down, and the steam rising from them makes the whole place look ethereal.
Mingxiu followed along and soon saw a figure ahead; Kangxi had arrived some time ago.
