Mingxiu listened to Kangxi's words with her head tilted back, feeling a little sorry for him. However, this matter was the inevitable trend of the times, so it was impossible to change it. It was best that he could understand.
"It's good that you can understand. Although you can't change this matter, you can change what you can. For example, you can deal with the bad things and the people and things that are harmful to the Qing Dynasty." Mingxiu suggested, for example, that person named Cixi.
Kangxi nodded: "Yes, now that I know so much, it's natural to make changes. At least some people and things should no longer exist." Kangxi thought about the history he had seen before and felt his blood pressure rise a little.
Mingxiu nodded and looked at Kangxi. Although Kangxi was usually quite gentle in front of her, Mingxiu did not forget that he had become emperor before he was ten years old, and later captured Oboi and quelled the Three Feudatories. He was not weak in mind and means, so he would definitely handle those things well.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye. During these three years, good news kept coming from outside the palace. It was either that Yinreng's research institute had a new invention, or that another battle had been won, or that some research results had been achieved. Life everywhere had also become better. They were able to produce things that were not yet possible to invent in this era, such as electronic products. Other things were becoming more and more like modern times.
In recent years, the women's academy run by Mingxiu has grown larger and larger. As people's lives have improved, they are naturally able to afford to send their children to school, and there are many jobs available for women in society.
Everyone helped each other out; those with money contributed money, and those without contributed their time and effort. In addition, Mingxiu's school basically trained students according to the needs of society today, so many people were willing to give her a job opportunity after realizing her abilities.
More and more women were pulled out of the house by Mingxiu. After seeing that women had another way out, everyone was no longer just focused on their husbands and children.
Cheng Huan has already graduated from the academy and is now a seventeen-year-old girl. After graduation, she has been helping out at the academy as a junior teacher.
Looking at Chenghuan, who was becoming more and more decisive, Mingxiu thought that what Chenghuan said before about not wanting to marry might be true. Mingxiu had even talked to Kangxi about this, and Kangxi agreed. As long as Chenghuan was happy, if she really didn't want to get married, then she didn't have to. Anyway, the Qing Dynasty was so powerful now. If he couldn't even protect his own daughter, then he would have worked in vain.
In recent years, Yinzhen and Yinzhi have both gotten married, and their remaining children have entered the court to help with government affairs.
The situation in the imperial court can be described as very positive.
Yinreng was very successful in the court. He had his father, Emperor Kangxi, helping him clean up messes, and his younger brothers served him. As long as Yinreng gave the order, he could delegate tasks to his brothers, and each brother could handle a lot of things for him.
However, in his own little family, Yinreng felt a bit overwhelmed. The reason was that his little ancestor Hongxi in the palace was already four years old and it was time for him to go to school.
However, this little brat is completely different from Yinreng himself when he was young. He really dislikes going to school because he is the only one going there now, but he can't not go.
Yinreng could only reluctantly agree that when he went to school, many younger brothers and sisters would go to school with him, and that they would all praise him and like him. Only then did he manage to coax the child into going to school.
But now that school is about to start, Yinreng still hasn't found his sisters.
Ministry of War
Yinzhi was discussing matters concerning the Ministry of War with his subordinates when he saw Yinreng walk in. His expression changed, but he didn't move. Through the training of the past few years, he was no longer the impulsive eldest prince he once was.
Yinreng stood obediently to the side, which amused the officials from the Ministry of War.
They all knew why Yinreng had come; they couldn't help but wonder, because the commotion they had caused was simply too great.
After giving his instructions, Yinzhi turned and left without giving Yinreng any time. Yinreng quickly chased after him, saying, "Big brother, big brother, don't go! Wait for your little brother! I have something to tell you."
"Hmph, what do you want to say? Let me tell you, give up on that idea. I will not let the child study in the palace." Yinzhi said irritably. Yinreng had been pestering him about this for a long time. He couldn't bear to let the child study in the Imperial Study. Otherwise, it would be so inconvenient for him to see the child. It would be so much better to raise the child at home, where he could see him anytime.
“Brother, that’s not how it works. The education at the Imperial Study is the best. Don’t you want your child to be outstanding? Besides, you can see Consort Hui more often in the palace. Consort Hui is very happy about it.” Yinreng directly brought up Consort Hui.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhi paused in his steps. Seeing an opportunity, Yinreng quickly continued, "Think about it, elder brother. Why don't you let your nephews and nieces come to the study to study? They'll receive the best education, and it will also strengthen the bonds between the siblings. Besides, Consort Hui is getting old now..."
"It's rather lonely in the palace. Sending the children to the palace will allow them to keep Consort Hui company and fulfill their filial duties in her place. If you miss the children, you can simply go to the palace. And if my sister-in-law misses them, she can go directly to Consort Hui's palace."
"What you said makes sense, but..." Although Yinzhi felt that what Yinreng said was right and it really touched his heart, he had been getting busier and busier outside these past few years and hadn't had much time to go back and see his mother. He really felt that his mother was no longer young, and it would be good if his children could see her in the future.
Yinreng kept trying to persuade him, saying that only a few children in Yinzhi's family were old enough to go to school. He had already promised Hongxi that if he didn't have any younger siblings to play with, he would definitely cause a scene.
After Yinreng finished speaking, seeing that his elder brother was still hesitating, he pressed on: "Brother, don't worry about it anymore. It's such a good thing. Besides, look how well Consort Ming's academy is run. Let them study here first, and then send them to Consort Ming's school to study properly. You don't want your children to be worse than others, do you?"
"Alright then, alright, you're such a smooth talker. I agree, I'll just send the children over there. You keep an eye on them in the palace, okay?" Yinzhi still instructed, still a little worried.
