Mingxiu was very happy with what she was thinking.
The atmosphere inside the room where Kangxi lived was not very pleasant.
Yinreng stood in the room, completely bewildered, looking up at Kangxi, wondering what was going on.
Kangxi looked at Yinreng with a complicated expression. Although Yinreng was a man of loose tongues and often angered him, he was also a brotherly friend and devoted himself to serving the court.
There are no messy bad habits either; it's really much better than my previous life.
He recalled some information about Yinreng that he had seen in Mingxiu Space.
If it weren't for a sliver of reason remaining, Kangxi felt he might have lost control on the spot.
Yinreng stood below, and the look in Kangxi's eyes—a look that was sometimes saddened, sometimes shocked, and sometimes unreadable—gave him goosebumps.
He trembled slightly, and finally couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at Kangxi with some doubt, he asked, "Father, is there something you want to say to me today? Just say it."
Yinreng stared wide-eyed at Kangxi. He and his elder brother were trying out different fishing methods, seeing who caught the fewest fish, and deciding who would treat everyone today.
As a result, he was summoned by the Emperor, and unsurprisingly, he was sure to be the one who lost the least number of tickets today.
"Baocheng, what are your opinions about me?"
Yinreng was still feeling sad when he was suddenly caught off guard by a question from Kangxi.
What.
He just had an auditory hallucination.
What did his father, the Emperor, just say?
Opinion.
What are his opinions?
Yinreng was somewhat puzzled. "Father, I have no objections. Did someone say something to you?" Could it be that someone was secretly trying to ruin his reputation behind his back?
Kangxi's expression was somewhat complicated. "Don't you feel that I treat my other brothers better than I treat you?"
Yinreng's lips twitched, wondering what was wrong with his imperial father today.
He actually wanted him to be nicer to the other brothers, so he wouldn't have to keep an eye on him every day.
His little bottom doesn't have to get spanked every day anymore, although now that he's getting older, even his father can't beat him anymore.
But he made so many mistakes that he would get caught and beaten up every now and then.
But he definitely couldn't say that, because it would surely hurt his father's feelings.
"No, we're all Father Emperor's children, it's only right to be good to everyone. Besides, Acheng has always felt that Father Emperor is the best to me." Yinreng smiled gently, knowing that Father Emperor was acting strangely today and he needed to make a good impression.
Looking at Yinreng's fawning expression below, Kangxi felt that all his sincerity had been wasted on a dog, but he still continued to ask, "Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future?"
Yinreng was speechless for a moment. What kind of question was this?
My dear Empress Dowager, come quickly to save Bao Cheng! Father Emperor is acting very strangely today.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he shouted, no one would come to call him. Yinreng could only straighten his body, think for a moment, and then answer Kangxi's question seriously.
"Your Majesty, I think things are fine as they are now. I enjoy researching strange and unusual things and working to improve the lives of the people of the Qing Dynasty. It's great to be able to do something for everyone."
Although he didn't know why his father asked that question today, Yinreng had sensed his father's seriousness from his experience of being beaten since childhood.
"So what is it that you want to do?" Kangxi paused for a moment when he asked this question.
So he never knew what his favorite son wanted to do?
Upon hearing this question, Yinreng's eyes immediately lit up. "Father, are you asking this to fulfill my wish?" Could he travel on a large ship?
Emperor Kangxi narrowed his eyes, though he still felt somewhat sorry for his son.
But based on my intuition from cleaning up his messes in the past, I knew that this answer was definitely not what I wanted.
"You speak first, I'll take a look first."
Yinreng knew immediately that it was impossible, so he stopped asking.
Moreover, his imperial father, for some unknown reason, wanted to grant him a wish today, so naturally he chose one that could be granted.
"Then, Father Emperor, may I first go to the Six Ministries for an internship?" Yinreng had wanted to intern at the Six Ministries for a long time.
Unfortunately, the Emperor refused to release him.
Kangxi thought about it. The main reason he hadn't let him go out before was because he was still young and he was afraid that someone would lead him astray. But now the child was old enough to go out and see the world.
The main problem is that having it next to him every day is really getting to him.
It's good to let them out so that the ministers can give them more guidance.
"It depends on your performance. If you perform well during this event, I might consider letting you intern in one of the Six Ministries. But if you don't perform well, then forget it," Kangxi gave an ambiguous answer, without directly agreeing.
He had raised Yinreng since he was a child, and he knew his own thoughts all too well. Over time, he not only became more protective of the boy, but also found that the boy's mind had wandered off somewhere else.
Yinreng lowered his head somewhat dejectedly. On the surface, he seemed a little sad, but in his heart, he secretly began to feel a little happy.
Although the Emperor didn't say it directly, it meant that he had already given his consent, so there would definitely be no problem with him going back to the Six Ministries for his internship.
However, he still appeared hesitant. "Alright then, Father Emperor, don't worry. I'll definitely do my best during this time." The newcomer quickly seized the opportunity to express his loyalty.
This was a game between him and his father, the Emperor. Kangxi knew that Yinreng was faking it, and Yinreng also knew that Kangxi knew he was faking it.
But the two of them were having a good time, so no one exposed them.
Emperor Kangxi nodded, waved his hand, and dismissed the man.
Yinreng walked out of Kangxi's room with light steps, then hurriedly headed towards the fishpond.
Kangxi watched Yinreng's departing figure with an inscrutable expression. He had originally summoned someone today to ask Yinreng what he thought of him, whether he felt that he was a very incompetent father.
But when the time came, I suddenly didn't know how to ask.
Moreover, even if you ask, you probably won't get any answers. This is because of Mingxiu. Baocheng's experiences since childhood are different from those before, so even if you ask him, he won't feel anything.
Since that's the case, he might as well let bygones be bygones. After all, these things haven't happened yet, so he'll just treat it as a story he heard.
The most important thing right now is to handle things properly. As long as he can handle the rest, there shouldn't be any problems later.
Liang Jiugong, standing beside him, kept his head bowed tightly.
The Emperor has been acting strangely these past few days, constantly sighing and pondering odd questions.
We might have to ask them for advice.
Liang Jiugong dared not let the Emperor remember him now.
The group stayed in Jiangnan for a while. During this time, Kangxi went out early and returned late, and did not stay overnight in the backyard.
Mingxiu usually takes Luzhu and the others out for a walk, and then they go back inside to wait.
Five days later, everyone began their journey back to the palace.
