It was already June or July when they returned to the palace. Not long after Mingxiu and the others returned, the weather became hot, so they went to Changchun Garden. Sitting in Changchun Garden, Mingxiu could only sigh, "They must be rich. Without money, they wouldn't be able to go through all this trouble."
She's always trying to go out and play, but Mingxiu is so comfortable lying on the tatami that she doesn't want to move. It's really nice to be able to enjoy herself.
What's wrong with having money to enjoy yourself? It's not like they're plundering the people's hard-earned money; it's all money they earned honestly.
When they returned to the palace, it was already the day of Yinzhi's wedding, so Consort Hui did not come this time, but Yinzhi did come.
That brat, he has no consideration for his mother at all, all he does is play around, hanging out with Yinreng every day, I don't know what he's doing.
Anyway, Mingxiu has only seen him a few times since she came back. Yinreng only came over for a meal on the day Mingxiu came back, and he is often nowhere to be seen after that.
Mingxiu lay in her room, looking at the scenery outside, and suddenly felt a bit like sitting on a balcony in modern times, enjoying the view.
Mingxiu found it somewhat amusing, feeling like all she was missing was a drink.
Life at Changchun Garden was peaceful. The group stayed there until August before setting off back to Beijing.
The Imperial Household Department is now making preparations. November is the wedding day of Yinzhi. Mingxiu prepared the wedding gifts well in advance and had them delivered the day before the wedding.
November 15th is an auspicious day for weddings.
The palace was bustling with activity, especially around the prince's quarters, where everything was decorated in vibrant red. This was the first prince to get married, and Emperor Kangxi attached great importance to it.
The whole day was bustling and lively before it finally came to an end. Getting married meant becoming an adult, which meant being able to experience more things and also being able to leave the palace and establish one's own residence.
Over the years, thanks to the maritime ban and the glass and cement industries, Kangxi had indeed made a lot of money. He was also worried that if too many people moved into the princes' quarters, there would be conflicts among them.
So, on the second day after Yinzhi's marriage, Kangxi simply gave him 300,000 taels of silver and sent him out of the palace.
Yinzhi happily accepted the silver, and then went with his wife to pay their respects to the Imperial Noble Consort, followed by Consort Wenxi and Mingxiu.
"Alright, now that you two are married, you should live a good life together. Baoqing, you must treat your wife well, you know? A woman's duty is paramount," Mingxiu said to Yinzhi.
"Don't worry, Mother Consort, I will definitely treat you well." Yinzhi said, looking at Yierjueluo Genshi with a silly smile.
Yierjueluo Genshi was a little embarrassed by her master's laughter, her face flushed slightly, and she secretly looked up at Mingxiu, who was a famous person in the palace.
She was the emperor's favorite concubine, and there were rumors that the emperor stopped taking in new concubines because of this Consort Jia.
Moreover, he rarely visited other concubines; he mostly stayed with her.
Moreover, although this empress has no sons, she has a princess who is very much loved by the emperor. Most importantly, the crown prince was raised in this way since childhood, and they have a very close relationship.
Because His Highness the Crown Prince is usually very kind and close to Consort Jia's younger brother.
When she entered the palace, her mother and father warned her not to offend this lady under any circumstances.
Therefore, Yierjueluo Genshi always felt that this lady might not be easy to get along with.
But after meeting her today, I realized that Consort Jia has such a good personality.
"Alright, you should go back early. I imagine your mother is waiting anxiously in the palace. Remember to tell her to come find me when she's done with her work," Mingxiu said with a smile.
Yinzhi nodded, looking silly, which Mingxiu found unbearable to watch.
Mingxiu looked at the beautiful young woman before her. Although Yierjueluo Genshi might not be considered a stunning beauty, she had a very good temperament. Mingxiu nodded in satisfaction, gave her a gift, and then let Yinzhi take his men back.
Watching the two figures walk away, Mingxiu thought that Yinreng was not young anymore, so it would be better to make a decision sooner rather than later, so that she could still prepare things.
After leaving Yonghe Palace, Lady Yierjueluo asked her master, "Master, is this Consort Jia so kind, and does she have a good relationship with Mother Consort?"
Yinzhi scratched his head, carefully supporting Yierjueluo Genshi, and said casually, "Yes, Consort Ming has a very good personality. We princes and princesses have received a lot of care from Consort Ming since we were young. Many of the toys we played with, the snacks we ate, and the fruits we ate when we were young came from Consort Ming's palace."
"Moreover, Ming's mother and mother have a very good relationship. They often play together. You will find out later. Whenever you go to see your mother, she will definitely bring you over to play."
“My mother comes here often. Sometimes when she can’t find someone in the palace, she just comes here to look for them.”
Yinzhi was sincere in his words. Mingxiu had always been very good to them since they were little, especially him. Because he had played with Yinreng since childhood, Mingxiu usually got his share of everything that Yinreng did.
Moreover, when they were young, they were naughty and wanted to secretly pick fruit from Yonghe Palace. Mingxiu knew about it but did not stop them. She generously allowed them to go and pick fruit whenever they wanted. If they stopped going for a while, Mingxiu would specifically go and ask about it.
Iljuelogen listened quietly from the side, and her respect for this Consort Jia rose to a new level. Look, she not only has a good relationship with the Emperor, but even the concubines, princesses and princes like her.
It takes an incredibly talented person to achieve this.
At that moment, Mingxiu silently sneezed in Yonghe Palace.
I rubbed my nose, wondering if I had caught a cold.
Soon after Yinzhi's marriage, the New Year was approaching, but the atmosphere in the palace was tense because the Imperial Noble Consort's health was truly failing.
When Mingxiu arrived, there were already many people in Chengqian Palace. Yinzhen stood quietly outside, his face full of sorrow.
Mingxiu sighed and gently patted his shoulder: "It's been so long since you've rested. Your mother isn't well, but you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise your mother will worry about you, you know?"
Yinzhen looked up at Mingxiu's worried eyes, his nose tingled, and he nodded heavily.
Mingxiu knew that Kangxi was inside just by looking at Liang Jiugong standing next to her.
Mingxiu had someone bring some food and watched Yinzhen eat quietly from the side.
The Imperial Noble Consort's health had been failing since she gave birth, and the loss of her child was an even greater blow. If it weren't for Yinzhen's presence by her side all these years, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.
