Kangxi looked at Mingxiu and said, "Didn't you say before that as long as Chenghuan is happy, that's fine? This time, Chenghuan is very happy. Moreover, Zhang Tinglu is a very good person. If the two of you like each other, why can't you be together? Chenghuan is our child. Does anyone dare to say anything about her?"
Mingxiu was unwilling and felt uncomfortable: "But I don't know why I feel uncomfortable." Mingxiu looked at Kangxi with red eyes, and she knew that her emotions were not right just now.
Kangxi held Mingxiu in his arms and comforted her: "Alright, I know you just suddenly found out that Chenghuan has someone she likes and is going to get married, and you are reluctant to part with her."
Mingxiu's tears fell in a steady stream: "Yeah, I just feel uncomfortable."
Kangxi listened to the aggrieved voice coming from his arms and smiled silently: "But Chenghuan will get married sooner or later. Before, we could tolerate her not getting married because she didn't have someone she liked, but now that she has someone she likes, we, as her mother, naturally have to think about our child's happiness, don't we?"
Mingxiu nestled in Kangxi's arms and nodded.
"Alright then, you must first find out what kind of person Zhang Tinglu is, and whether he likes Chenghuan or not. It wouldn't be good if Chenghuan ended up being the only one who was in love. Also, I support your idea of ​​abolishing the prohibition on intermarriage between Manchus and Han Chinese, but this matter involves too many people, so you must be careful, understand?"
Mingxiu calmed herself down and drew circles on Kangxi's chest with her little hands.
Kangxi chuckled and glanced at Mingxiu: "Don't worry, I know. Once this matter is resolved, I will pass the throne to Yinreng, and then the two of us will travel the world together."
Mingxiu looked up at Kangxi: "Have you made a decision? But the Qing Dynasty is developing rapidly right now. Don't you think it would be a pity if you abdicate now?" Mingxiu was a little conflicted. She felt that abdicating now would be good. On the one hand, she could go out and have fun, and on the other hand, Yinreng could also take charge on his own, so that the things that happened later would not happen. But on the other hand, she felt that it was a little regrettable.
Kangxi lowered his head and pinched Mingxiu's little nose: "It's decided. There's nothing to regret. I've done enough for the Qing Dynasty. Besides, who says that abdicating means I can't contribute to the Qing Dynasty anymore? Aren't we still going to go on voyages? What we bring back will also be my contribution. Besides, the world is so big, and I want to go out and see it. I can't be trapped in the Forbidden City forever. Moreover, Yinreng has grown up and it's time for him to show his talents. In a few years, aren't you afraid that Yinreng won't be able to stand being the crown prince?" Kangxi said quietly.
Mingxiu rolled her eyes at Kangxi: "Come on, you might be able to say it's the historical Yinreng, but the current Yinreng was raised by the two of us. He's like a spoiled brat, wishing he could be the crown prince for life."
Mingxiu was telling the truth. Historically, Yinreng developed some mental problems in the end, largely because Kangxi had an excessive desire to control him. He would suppress Yinreng if he performed well and encourage him if he did not. In addition, his younger brothers had more and more ideas, which led to Yinreng's condition.
However, Bao Cheng in this life doesn't have this problem. Kangxi is a hands-off ruler who often dumps things on Bao Cheng. He's already incredibly busy even before becoming emperor. If he becomes emperor, he'll be even busier. So Yinreng wishes he could be the crown prince for life, so someone would clean up his messes.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but laugh.
"Does Your Majesty still remember when Bao Cheng wet the bed when he was little, and insisted that it was Your Majesty who peed on it? He even came back to complain to me the next day." Mingxiu said with a smile.
"Of course I remember. I was so angry with him back then. I wanted to hit him, but he kept crying and I couldn't bring myself to do it. But when he grew up, he kept accusing me, which really made me very angry." Kangxi couldn't help but laugh as he thought about Yinreng's childhood.
"Yes, yes, and when he was little, he insisted on keeping a hamster. At first, you didn't agree, but you eventually gave in because he kept bothering you so much. As a result, after a few days, the little guy accidentally sat on it and killed it. Then he came home crying with blood all over his bottom. I was wondering what had happened. Later, I found out. I laughed so hard, but I couldn't let him find out." Mingxiu said, laughing uncontrollably.
"Yes, and this kid started raising geese from the very beginning, incubating the eggs. During that time, his palace really stank, and there were all sorts of noises coming from it. Everyone thought something had happened, but later they found out that Bao Cheng was incubating the eggs."
"Yes, yes, and there was another time when he was two years old. His Majesty used to tell him stories of great heroes, and during that time he kept wetting the bed. I was worried something was wrong with him, so I had the imperial physician come and take a look, but the physician couldn't find anything wrong. Later, I asked Bao Cheng, and he said that His Majesty told him that bedwetting was a sign of heroism, and he wanted to be a hero, so he deliberately wet the bed. The funniest thing is that he even made other people wet the bed, saying that that way they would all be heroes."
"Ha ha ha ha"
"You still remember this? And what about when Bao Cheng was little...?"
"Haha, how come I didn't know about this? Why didn't Your Majesty tell me?"
"Bao Cheng wouldn't let us talk about it back then, there was nothing we could do."
"It's forbidden to say, it's too embarrassing."
"Well, it turns out that this kid is now a father himself, and his child is exactly like him when he was a child, just as mischievous."
"Hahaha, isn't that right? I still remember that when Hongxi was little, he raised a goose, but Yinreng accidentally cooked it and ate it. When it was served, he realized it was Hongxi's goose. Hongxi cried so much that he ran to the Emperor to complain and asked the Emperor to beat his father. In the end, he was the one who got beaten, and the goose was not eaten. It was buried directly in the garden of Yuqing Palace, with a small tombstone. Hahaha, Baocheng really did a lot of naughty things when he was little."
Hahahaha
Hahahaha
Laughter could be heard from inside the Qianqing Palace from time to time.
Outside, Yinreng stood listening to the laughter inside, his face full of black lines.
I just wanted to come and talk to Father Emperor about something, but I ended up hearing the two of them talking about embarrassing things from their childhood inside the room.
Liang Jiugong stood behind Yinreng, his face flushed, but he dared not laugh out loud.
"Hmph," Yinreng snorted, turned and left. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he had a smile on his lips. So his father and mother remembered things from his childhood.
