She caught a lot of fish today, enough for many people to eat, so Mingxiu told everyone to cook as much as they wanted, and that they would all get a share.
She didn't just make this one dish; she also directed someone to make a dry pot shrimp dish, which was sweet and not spicy, and Chenghuan could eat it.
Around noon, Yinreng, Yinzhi, and Kangxi arrived together. The aroma of the boiled fish was so irresistible that they could smell it even from a distance.
For a moment, I was completely captivated, and some of the unpleasant feelings I had from dealing with government affairs dissipated.
When Mingxiu saw them arrive, she ordered the dishes to be served. Chenghuan, who had been drawn in by the aroma, stood at the door, drooling, watching the group and waiting for them to come and eat.
After the person arrived, Cheng Huan quickly called out to them and then sat down at her seat to wait for her meal.
She had already washed her hands beforehand.
Mingxiu found it amusing and told the three of them to wash their hands before ordering the dishes to be served.
The dish was already very fragrant, but now that it was served, it smelled even better. Not only Cheng Huan, but even Emperor Kangxi was captivated by the aroma.
My stomach, which I hadn't felt hungry before, started rumbling.
After washing their hands, everyone quickly sat down and waited for dinner. Mingxiu chuckled as she looked at everyone's eyes, which were practically sparkling with excitement, and then they started eating.
Yinreng took a bite and felt the aroma of chili peppers and lard in his mouth, combined with the tenderness of the fish, making it incredibly delicious. Even the side dishes, such as bean sprouts, tofu skin, and greens, were exceptionally tasty.
When Yinreng finished eating and looked up, he saw that his father and elder brother were already eating without looking up, taking bite after bite, and soon a lot of food was gone.
Yinreng was shocked and quickly took a second bite after finishing the first, afraid that he wouldn't have enough. Chenghuan, on the other hand, happily ate the dry pot shrimp. The shrimp and potatoes inside were sweet and had a sesame aroma, which was especially delicious.
Mingxiu looked at the four people who ate without even looking up and was speechless. The other three were fine. Although they ate quickly, they ate very elegantly because of their years of royal upbringing.
But this child next to her, who hadn't learned proper manners, was different. Mingxiu looked at the child, whose mouth was covered in rice, and shook her head.
Let's not dwell on this upsetting scene; we'll deal with it after we finish eating.
Mingxiu had a large bowl of boiled fish and dry-pot shrimp brought out, which was quickly devoured.
Mingxiu twitched her lips as she watched the others' fighting prowess. She herself hadn't eaten much, since she was quite used to the taste, and she had also eaten plenty of other things beforehand, so she wasn't hungry at all.
After finishing their meal, the group rubbed their bellies, their lips slightly red from the spiciness.
After a few days, the rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped. Mingxiu and the others wanted to take a good stroll in the courtyard, but then they received news that Kangxi was preparing to return to the palace ahead of schedule.
The Emperor had left, so everyone had no choice but to follow. Mingxiu had no choice but to take the carriage back to the palace.
It's just that the weather wasn't too hot this year, otherwise Mingxiu really wouldn't want to come back.
After returning, Kangxi devoted himself to the flood relief efforts, and Mingxiu and the others in the harem were of little help.
However, since a flood occurred, everyone had to do something, so the Imperial Noble Consort organized a fundraising event in the inner palace. No matter how much, everyone contributed in some way.
Mingxiu also donated some jewelry and money, but what is really needed right now is medicine and food. Although Mingxiu has some in her space, she has no way to take them out.
Fortunately, many places had planted sweet potatoes and potatoes in the past few years, so there was still some food stored up, and the damage was not too bad.
However, Yinreng and Kangxi were also very busy for a long time.
During this time, some refugees also poured into the capital. Emperor Kangxi even sent Yinreng and Yinzhi to see them and personally participate in some matters, which deepened their understanding of the people and their love for them.
Because of the systematic reminders, Yinreng knew that plagues were likely to break out after the floods, so he arranged for a set of learning manuals early on, which were all about treating and preventing plagues.
Kangxi quickly promoted the policy and required that areas affected by floods strictly adhere to it.
So there was no large-scale plague, but some places did get plague because we didn't pay attention at the beginning, but we were able to remedy the situation in time.
Therefore, everything is still within a controllable range.
While Emperor Kangxi was in charge of affairs in the palace, Yinreng often accompanied him to handle matters there. However, it was Yinzhi who volunteered to go outside to take care of the people.
Emperor Kangxi was initially reluctant to let him go. This was his own child, and there was a risk of a plague breaking out outside at any time. He couldn't bear the thought of anything bad happening to him.
However, they could not resist Yinzhi's determination, and Yinreng was also whispering in their ears. The main reason was that there were not many refugees in the capital, which was a strategically important place, and because the capital was under the emperor's nose.
Therefore, everyone took the issued booklet very seriously and strictly followed it, so Kangxi finally agreed.
However, he was only allowed to follow behind and watch, and was absolutely not allowed to go to the front. Yinzhi agreed, since he was only ten years old and couldn't do much anyway.
When Consort Hui heard the news, she couldn't bear it and fainted. She cried and begged Yinzhi not to come over. He only had this one son. What would she do if something happened to him?
However, Yinzhi still went out, and Mingxiu could only comfort Consort Hui from the side and have people keep an eye on news from outside the palace.
After everything was resolved, Yinzhi returned from outside. Before returning, he had the imperial physician examine him and found him to be in good health.
When Consort Hui saw Yinzhi return, she cried uncontrollably. She thought that the few months he had been away had made the child so tanned and thin, which broke Consort Hui's heart.
When Emperor Kangxi saw this, although he felt sorry for the child, he was very pleased to see that the child's spirit and energy had completely changed.
He simply waved his hand and ordered Yinzhi to return to Consort Hui's palace for a while to recuperate and put Consort Hui's mind at ease.
After seeing off his eldest son, Kangxi was quite satisfied with his second son, who was still reviewing memorials. Although the crown prince had always been his most satisfactory successor, Kangxi was particularly pleased with his ingenious ideas and temperament.
Yinzhi was the general he had prepared for the crown prince. Now the two children get along very well. Yinreng is willing to pay any price to help Yinzhi, and Yinzhi is also willing to give up the struggle for the throne for Yinreng.
The two children got along very well, which pleased Emperor Kangxi. They were both children he had raised, and they were both wholeheartedly devoted to the Qing Dynasty.
