But in the end, the result was really not as good as what Mingxiu meant.
Kangxi looked at Mingxiu, who was tugging at his clothes, pouting and refusing to speak, and sighed.
She reached out and took Mingxiu's hand, pulling her onto her lap, and coaxed her gently, "Okay, it's really inconvenient to take you with me on this trip. Besides, this trip is very tiring, and we won't have time to rest along the way. We'll have to rush back as soon as we're done."
Mingxiu sat on Kangxi's lap, tugging at the embroidery on the front of his clothes, and said with a hint of grievance, "Then let it be. I won't go out this time, but Your Majesty must take me with you next time you go out."
Seeing Mingxiu's dependent look, Kangxi felt very reluctant to part with her, but his trip was really dangerous and it would be inconvenient to take her with him. In the end, he could only promise her, "Okay, I will definitely take you with me next time I go out."
Mingxiu nodded, feeling very happy. She had been prepared for the trip not to take her along, but now there was an unexpected surprise, and Mingxiu was very satisfied.
Once Mingxiu was satisfied, she got off Kangxi, ran to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and handed the small box inside to Kangxi.
“Your Majesty, look, many of these are Western medicines that I bought from foreigners. This is for when you are injured or have a wound, and you can also apply it to the wound to prevent it from getting worse. This is for when you have a fever. This is for pain relief. This is for stopping bleeding. They are all very simple to take.” Mingxiu counted them one by one.
Although Emperor Kangxi lived for a long time in history, Mingxiu was still very worried about him going out like this, given the description of the dangers. So she prepared all the medicines well in advance.
She used all the medicine from her spatial storage, and then unpacked each one, poured out all the capsules, wrapped up the powder, and prepared everything.
Kangxi looked at the list of medicines being meticulously listed, each one clearly labeled to indicate what illness required them. His voice was hoarse, and he didn't know what to say.
After a long while, he held Mingxiu in his arms, looked at her face and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You must also take good care of yourself in the palace, you know?"
Mingxiu nodded as she looked at Kangxi, whose eyes were a little red. She felt a little uncomfortable too. After all, they had known each other for so long, and she was naturally worried about him suddenly having to do something dangerous.
She nestled in Kangxi's arms, hugging him tightly, and assured him that she would take good care of herself, asking Kangxi to take good care of himself as well.
The two hugged each other and promised to be okay in the future, until Mingxiu finally couldn't take it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.
Kangxi looked at Mingxiu's sleeping face, gently touched it with his large hand, and then carried her to bed.
The next day, when Mingxiu opened her eyes, she saw the empty seat next to her and knew that Kangxi had left.
Mingxiu pursed her lips. It's good that they left. It saves her from having to see them off face to face. Mingxiu didn't even know what kind of expression she would have to make then.
After seeing Kangxi off, Mingxiu said she was fine, but she was still depressed for a few days. Not only Mingxiu, but the entire harem became quieter.
Afterwards, Mingxiu adjusted her mood and looked at the quiet harem, feeling that it was actually quite nice.
Eek~ Realizing her own thoughts, Mingxiu quickly shook her head. How could she have such thoughts?
well!
Mingxiu quickly adjusted her mindset, because Kangxi had taken many ministers with him on this trip, and Yinreng was now handling court affairs.
Mingxiu looked at Yinreng, who was dealing with matters late into the night and still hadn't returned, with a pang of sympathy, and began to pray that Kangxi would come back soon.
Yinreng is still a child; staying up late will stunt his growth.
Then they quickly prepared a lot of delicious food and drinks for Yinreng, hoping to win him back.
However, Yinreng's life was not as tragic as Mingxiu imagined.
Inside the Qianqing Palace, Yinreng sat at a small table next to the dragon throne, enjoying the food that Mingxiu had prepared for him.
Next to him was another table the same size as his, where his elder brother, Yinzhi, was currently hunched over, frowning as he reviewed memorials.
The more memorials Yinreng reviewed, the uglier his expression became. Looking at Yinreng across from him, who was happily eating, Yinzhi simply refused to continue.
"All you ever do is order me around. Let me tell you, I have a temper too. You can do the rest yourself. I'm not doing it anymore." After saying that, Yinzhi stood up and went to the table next to him to eat.
While Yinreng was enjoying his meal, he suddenly heard Yinzhi say that he was quitting.
Oh ho~ How can that be? These are the laborers I finally managed to recruit.
Yinreng didn't even care about eating anymore and hurried over, looking at Yinzhi with great concern: "Oh, elder brother, it's not that I'm telling you to do it yourself, it's just that there's too much stuff. You don't know that all those old men in the cabinet are trying to take advantage of Father Emperor's absence to bully me."
Yinzhi didn't even look at Yinreng. A few days ago, he had lost control of himself and softened his heart, so he helped Yinreng deal with a lot of memorials. But there were just too many memorials, and it seemed like he could never finish dealing with them no matter what he did.
Yinzhi was not a person who could sit still for long, and he had already reached his limit. He didn't want to deal with it anymore and focused on eating the food in his hand. The food in Consort Ming's palace was really too delicious.
Seeing that his elder brother was ignoring him, Yinreng knew that the problem was serious, so he quickly intensified his efforts: "Brother, you don't care when they bully me? Besides, they're not just bullying me, they're bullying you too."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhi's ears twitched: "What do you mean? How did they bully me? I didn't know."
"How could I not have been bullied? Big brother doesn't know, didn't you want to go to the Ministry of War before, but Father Emperor didn't agree?"
Yinzhi nodded. He was angry just thinking about it. Why wouldn't his father let him go? He had already said that he would only go for half a day, visit every day, and come back. It certainly wouldn't affect his studies in the Imperial Study. But his father just wouldn't agree.
"Actually, it's not that Father Emperor disagrees, it's that those old men are unwilling. I overheard it once, and Father Emperor had originally agreed, but those old men said that you are still too young and don't understand politics, so it would be useless for you to go. Moreover, the Ministry of War is full of roughnecks who can't teach you, so Father Emperor didn't let you go."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhi exploded: "Who do they think they are? Father Emperor has already agreed, how dare they refuse? What's wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Yinzhi looked at Yinreng with some anger, while Yinreng felt somewhat wronged.
He pointed to his fingers and said, "That's because I was thinking that if Father Emperor doesn't agree, there's no point in saying anything."
"But things are different now, brother. Think about it, this is a great opportunity. As long as you can handle things well, when Father Emperor comes back, he will know that you can go to the Ministry of War for your internship. No matter what those old ministers say, Father Emperor will not believe them."
