"I had someone look into this Earl Haino before. He is actually a wealthy, powerful, and leisurely nobleman, but his father is no ordinary man. He fought alongside Peter to conquer the world and was in charge of managing weapons. His family must have many things that cannot be found on the market. I haven't had a chance to take a look before, but tomorrow is a good opportunity to see if there is anything we need," Kangxi said calmly.
“But wouldn’t that be very dangerous for you? How about I go with you tomorrow and bring some people with me?” Mingxiu was a little worried, since it was a house they didn’t know well.
Kangxi shook his head: "Don't go tomorrow. Just stay here. There shouldn't be anything to do tomorrow. Besides, if something happens, you can stay here. I can just go into my space and come back through it. If we both go, it might be inconvenient."
Mingxiu nodded. There was a limitation to their space: either party could travel through the space to the other's location.
However, if two people are in the same place, they will be there when they go in and there when they come out; they cannot move.
"Alright, then take some people with you tomorrow. If there's any danger, go into the space immediately, okay?" Mingxiu instructed.
Kangxi sighed helplessly, "I understand. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
The next morning, after Mingxiu had breakfast, Earl Hainuo's men arrived and handed over all the people who had come to learn the craft to the cook. Kangxi, accompanied by several guards, rode in a carriage to Earl Hainuo's residence.
Yinzhi stood at the door with some worry, scratching his head, wanting to go, but after all, he had met the people of Tsarist Russia on the battlefield, so it would be inconvenient for him to go. Therefore, he had no choice but to not go.
Mingxiu turned her head and glanced at Liang Jiugong, but Liang Jiugong did not follow. After all, Kangxi had something to do there, and there was no point in him following. Moreover, as a eunuch, he had many actions that were different from others and would be easily noticed.
Mingxiu looked at Yinzhi and said, "Alright, don't worry. Don't worry, your father will be fine. He knows what he's doing. He's free today. Why don't you take your wife out for a stroll, go on a date? What's the point of staying indoors all day at such a young age? But you need to take precautions when you go out, okay?" Mingxiu gave Yinzhi a disdainful instruction.
Yinzhi scratched his head, while Yierjueluo Genshi nodded shyly beside him.
"Well, Father isn't here today, Mother, would you like to come out for a walk with us? You're staying inside anyway," Yinzhi said in a somewhat straightforward manner.
Mingxiu rolled his eyes. It's only because it's a time of arranged marriages these days. If it were modern times, a straight man like him who doesn't understand romance at all would never have found such a beautiful, gentle, and generous wife.
"What would I do if you two went on a date? Be a sky lantern to light your way, really?" Mingxiu rolled her eyes and refused decisively.
Seeing that the two had agreed, Mingxiu nodded in satisfaction, then raised her chin and went back into the house.
Yu Lan and the others watched them learn some cooking skills in the kitchen.
Mingxiu had nothing to do, and she was genuinely worried that Kangxi wouldn't be able to sit still.
She simply locked the door, told herself to rest and not to disturb her unless necessary, and then went into her space.
Sitting inside the villa, Mingxiu rummaged through the space for a long time before finally finding a bag of coffee, which must have been brought from the kitchen during the upgrade.
There were some tea leaves inside. Mingxiu took both out and sat in the courtyard to boil water and make tea.
That way, if anything happened to Kangxi, she would know immediately.
Mingxiu sat in the space, occasionally taking a sip of tea and looking at the book in her hand. She had been looking at it for a long time, but she still hadn't finished reading this page.
Unable to concentrate, Mingxiu clicked her tongue and put the book down beside her.
Seeing the flowers and plants next to him, he picked up the hoe and started loosening the soil around them.
Physical labor requires the least amount of brainpower, and after Mingxiu had turned over a large area, she finally felt that she had vented her frustrations.
I patted my hungry stomach and went into the kitchen to find something to eat.
However, after searching the kitchen, Mingxiu couldn't find anything to eat. With a sigh of helplessness, she could only go out into her space to have someone prepare some food for her, and then eat it inside.
Anyway, she won't leave the space unless Kangxi comes back today.
Mingxiu carried the plate back to the space. Looking at the creamy meat sauce spaghetti and other Chinese dishes inside, Mingxiu tasted them and thought they tasted pretty good.
The combination of Chinese and Western styles looks surprisingly good!
After having lunch, Mingxiu continued to wait in the space. Just when she felt like she was about to mold, Kangxi finally returned.
When Mingxiu saw the note that Kangxi had sent in, he knew that Kangxi was already on his way back, so she quickly went out of the space.
She didn't forget to take the lunch tray with her when she went out, so everyone saw that Mingxiu, who hadn't come out since Kangxi left in the morning, had just come out in the afternoon when Kangxi returned.
One can only marvel at how perfectly in sync these two are.
After seeing the people off, Kangxi looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, get some rest tonight. We'll set off for home tomorrow."
Some people are happy while others are not. No matter how beautiful this place is, it is not their hometown after all, and it is not as comfortable to stay here as it is in their hometown.
Moreover, life here is not as comfortable or convenient as it was during the Qing Dynasty.
I'm naturally very happy to be able to go back now.
However, Yinzhi felt very unhappy. He had come all this way but hadn't accomplished anything, and he wanted to go back immediately.
After giving his instructions, Kangxi took Mingxiu back and told everyone to prepare to pack up.
"How was it? Nothing happened over there today, right?" Mingxiu asked quickly as she pulled Ai back into the house, adding, "And why did you go back so soon?"
Kangxi shook his head: "Nothing much, but we found quite a few useful things, which have already been brought back. We might be able to use them when we get back. We've been out for quite a while now, and if we stay here any longer, people will inevitably become suspicious, so we should go back sooner rather than later."
Mingxiu nodded, relieved that nothing was wrong.
It's good to be able to go back. I really miss home after being away for so long, especially since Cheng Huan's marriage hasn't been that long. I wonder how she's been doing during this time.
And I wonder if her group of girlfriends have adapted to their new roles and are doing well.
Only after Emperor Kangxi personally assured her that everything was alright did Mingxiu finally relax completely, and she immediately felt some back pain.
