They were so full that Mingxiu and the others continued to wander around outside until they could digest their food before going back. Mingxiu took Kangxi to browse the stalls, which were full of exquisite little things, and Mingxiu bought a lot of them.
Kangxi watched Mingxiu play with doting eyes, following closely behind. Mingxiu was looking at the cloth tigers in her hands at the stall. Each of these cloth tigers looked adorable and cute.
Mingxiu liked them very much and picked out several items from the stall, unaware that Kangxi next to her had quietly bought one of them.
The group strolled around outside to digest their food. By the time they were no longer full, Mingxiu was too exhausted to walk any further. She hadn't walked around for so long in a long time, and her stamina was really declining.
When they stopped moving, the group went back inside. Mingxiu sat on the sofa in the room, put her legs on Kangxi's legs, and asked him to massage her.
Holding a mirror in her hand, she happily looked at the hairpin on her head. It had a butterfly pattern on it, and it looked very delicate. When Mingxiu returned, she noticed that she had a hairpin on her head that she didn't know when.
"Husband, when did you buy this? It's so beautiful! But when did you put it on me?" Mingxiu looked at herself in the mirror from left to right.
Seeing Mingxiu's pleased expression, Kangxi nodded in agreement, "It's good that you like it."
Mingxiu really liked the hairpin, but she was very unhappy with Kangxi's behavior of secretly putting the hairpin in her hair without letting her know.
“Then, husband, take off the strap and put it back on her. How can you deliver something like this in such a sneaky way?” Mingxiu protested.
Kangxi poked Mingxiu's forehead: "What do you mean by sneaking around? I really am. I was just being a little less sneaky."
Mingxiu chuckled, noticing Kangxi's somewhat uncomfortable expression, but didn't press him for an answer: "Oh dear, when giving someone a gift, of course you should let them know, my husband, my husband, just take it off and put it back on." Mingxiu put her legs off Kangxi and snuggled into his arms, acting coquettishly.
Emperor Kangxi was so annoyed by Mingxiu's nagging that he had no choice but to take the hairpin off and put it back in, just as she wished.
Mingxiu lay in Kangxi's arms with a grin, holding a mirror and staring at herself.
Kangxi held Mingxiu in his arms to prevent her from falling off.
After resting, the next day, Kangxi took Mingxiu fishing. Kangxi had a large boat prepared, and Mingxiu excitedly looked at the huge vessel in front of her. She followed Kangxi aboard to prepare for their fishing trip.
She had never fished before. Standing on the deck, Mingxiu watched the dock recede into the distance, gazing at the blue sea and sky. She thought it wouldn't be bad if Kangxi abdicated earlier, then they could play outside every day.
That seems a bit unfair to Yinreng, but Yinreng doesn't come out very often these days either.
He mostly dealt with various matters in the capital, including the tasks assigned by Emperor Kangxi and the tasks he created for himself. He was busy every day, so there probably wasn't much difference between them.
Achoo, achoo! Yinreng, who was far away in the capital, was frowning and working hard on his affairs when he suddenly sneezed several times. The eunuch serving him was so frightened that he quickly called for the imperial physician, but Yinreng stopped him.
He felt that he probably didn't have a cold, but rather that he was sneezing because someone had insulted him, as he had seen before.
"What are you thinking about? Come here quickly. Didn't you want to go fishing?" Kangxi called out as he stood beside Mingxiu, whose thoughts seemed to have wandered off somewhere.
Mingxiu snapped out of her daze and ran over excitedly, saying, "Coming, coming!"
Mingxiu and Kangxi sat leisurely in front, basking in the sun. The thing they found hardest to get used to here was how humid the air was.
Even if I don't move all day, I feel like I'm covered in sweat, and my whole body feels sticky and uncomfortable. Also, if I don't shower for a day, I feel like I smell bad.
Mingxiu has been a northerner in both her past and present lives, and has never experienced the weather in the south.
It's definitely taking some getting used to here. It's quite different from Hangzhou. Although the air in Hangzhou is also humid, it doesn't feel as intense as here, and the smell isn't as strong either.
When Mingxiu first arrived, she really felt extremely uncomfortable.
The two boarded the boat shortly after noon, when the sun was at its best. They were so drowsy from sunbathing that they didn't wake up until evening, and they hadn't caught a single fish during that time.
I don't understand why other people have a beginner protection period when fishing, but I don't. I'm so angry!
In the end, Emperor Kangxi couldn't stand it anymore. He simply took a fishing net, looked at the fish in the sea, and scooped them up. In that one scoop, he caught a very large fish.
Mingxiu glanced at him and saw that he must weigh at least twenty pounds, then looked at Kangxi with admiration.
Kangxi felt somewhat smug under Mingxiu's gaze.
Then, when Mingxiu suggested that he go fishing, he instantly snapped out of his daze and quickly refused Mingxiu's suggestion.
He didn't want to go fishing anymore. He hadn't caught a single fish, and it was a waste of time. He could catch fish much faster than him.
Seeing that Mingxiu still wanted to try, Kangxi was clearly upset that he hadn't caught any fish, so he quickly grabbed the fishing net and went back to fishing.
Let's forget about fishing.
Mingxiu watched Kangxi's departing figure, feeling both amused and exasperated. In truth, she felt that perhaps the position was unfavorable just now, but now that it was favorable, she wanted Kangxi to try again. After all, he was the emperor, and he must possess the dragon aura that those cultivators spoke of.
As a result, Emperor Kangxi ran away as soon as he heard about fishing, which shows that he really disliked fishing.
In the end, the two of them still ate fish, fish that Kangxi had just caught.
I must say, fish cooked to order tastes so fresh.
Mingxiu ate most of the grilled fish with great satisfaction.
Mingxiu ate a lot of boiled fish slices and sweated a lot, but both she and Kangxi felt very comfortable after eating.
It feels so good to work up a sweat in this kind of weather.
Emperor Kangxi ate with great satisfaction. He had never eaten while the food was being prepared like this before, especially since the fish were freshly caught by him.
It's really fresh!
After finishing their meal, the two of them each made a cup of tea and sat on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze and the scenery around them.
The starry sky by the sea was exceptionally bright; there were even more stars in the sky than when we were in the palace.
