“But I think you really want a wedding, so,” Mingxiu took the ring directly from Kangxi’s hand, knelt on one knee and said earnestly, “I know that a big reason why you abdicated so early was because of me, and it was also because of me that you accompanied me on my travels, studies, overseas trips, and settled in Yunnan. I don’t know what I can give you, but Xuan Ye, I know I love you, and all I can give you now is my heart. So will you marry me, sincerely?”
Everyone was speechless in shock at Mingxiu's actions.
In particular, Guarjia and Yierjuelogen covered their mouths, they had never thought that this could be done.
Although Yinzhi, Yinreng, and Chenghuan were somewhat surprised, they had always witnessed the affection between Kangxi and Mingxiu, so they were not particularly surprised.
Kangxi looked at Mingxiu with red eyes and curled the corners of his mouth: "Of course, anyway, today is our wedding."
Mingxiu smiled and handed the ring to Kangxi, asking him to put it on her finger.
"Alright, alright, Mother, you really scared me to death today. Can someone take you to wash up and change your clothes now? No matter who proposed, the wedding ceremony still has to go through today." Yinreng looked at the people here and began to go through the procedures.
Seriously, such a relationship is just so enviable.
Mingxiu smiled and let go of Kangxi, allowing Chenghuan and the others to help her with her toilette. Actually, there was one last thing Mingxiu didn't say today.
The emperor's wedding was always beyond his control, so he probably wasn't very happy when he got married, since at that time he was simply trying to consolidate his position in the court.
The wedding of Emperor Kangxi and Mingxiu did not have many guests, no one forced them to drink, and no one blocked the door to make a fuss, but it was still a very happy occasion.
Once Kangxi and Mingxiu's wedding was over, Yinreng and the others had to prepare to return home. Yinreng was the emperor, and Yinzhi was a great general. The court could not be left unattended for long, so they needed to hurry back.
As for Chenghuan, he didn't originally need to go back very early, but news came from the capital that the old lady of the Zhang family was not in good health, so they wanted the two of them to go back as soon as possible.
So Chenghuan had no choice but to go back with her.
Mingxiu and Kangxi stood at the door, seeing the group off: "You all need to take good care of yourselves, okay? We'll be staying here for a while longer before heading back, so don't worry about us," Mingxiu said, holding Chenghuan's hand.
"Father, Mother, you must go back soon. You can't stay here and forget about home, you know? There are still several of your children in the capital waiting for you to come back," Chenghuan said reluctantly.
"Okay, okay, let's go back now. We're here on vacation, and we'll definitely go back when we've had enough fun, don't worry." Mingxiu coaxed Chenghuan, her tone shifting from initial reluctance to impatience.
I've read this sentence so many times, even Mingxiu herself is tired of saying it.
Next to Mingxiu, Xiaoshitou was also reluctantly saying goodbye to his two friends.
After everyone finally left, Mingxiu and Kangxi took Xiaoshitou back home.
"Oh my god, they're finally gone. I was so annoyed if they hadn't left," Mingxiu said somewhat heartlessly, sitting in her chair.
Kangxi sighed helplessly, "You mustn't let them hear that. They've come all this way to see you, and you're already so impatient."
"Don't worry, they definitely won't know. This is probably a case of 'familiarity breeds contempt.' I really miss them when they're not around, but I get really annoyed when they stay for too long." Mingxiu gets a headache just thinking about how the house was constantly filled with noise a few days ago.
"Master, Master," Qingzhun said as he walked in.
Kangxi looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master, Madam, it's Little Stone's father who has returned," Qingzhun said.
Kangxi and Mingxiu's faces, which were just about to joke, instantly darkened. Mingxiu sneered, "Good, very good. You're finally back. I want to see what kind of father this is."
"Where is he now, with Little Stone?" Kangxi asked.
“Little Stone is playing in the front yard now. His maternal grandparents just brought him over, saying they will take him back when his father comes up.”
Kangxi narrowed his eyes, understanding what the two old men meant. He now regarded Xiao Shitou as half a disciple, so he naturally couldn't let Xiao Shitou suffer any injustice: "Go and send the photos of Xiao Shitou taken when he first arrived to the two old men. Ask them if they need anything and let them know. We will go directly to Xiao Shitou's father when he comes to visit."
"yes"
After Qingzhun left, Mingxiu couldn't help but sneer: "He's finally back. I thought he had run away with the money."
"Don't worry, now that he's back, let's see how he reacts. If he's not good enough, then he has no reason to exist," Kangxi said coldly, the temperature in the air dropping several degrees.
Mingxiu rubbed her shoulders, looked at Kangxi's expression, and could only sigh.
Mingxiu had thought that Xiaoshitou's father would come today, but he didn't show up even after waiting at home for a long time this afternoon. Mingxiu was speechless and didn't know what to say.
She decided not to wait any longer and started preparing dinner. Lately, she had been particularly fond of eating strong-flavored foods.
So a few days ago, someone prepared snails and small river shrimp. Now the snails have mostly expelled the sand. Tonight, Mingxiu is going to make a spicy stir-fried snail dish, salt and pepper shrimp, stir-fried asparagus, taro ball pudding milk tea, and squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. That should be enough for the three of them.
Unfortunately, Mingxiu thought of this dish quite late, and Yinreng and Chenghuan left quite early, so they didn't have the chance to taste it.
The aroma of the snails and the flavor of the salt and pepper shrimp were so strong that Mingxiu stood at the door directing people to start cooking. She almost couldn't stop drooling from smelling the aroma.
Little Stone was also irresistibly drawn to the smell, and squatted down at Mingxiu's feet, unwilling to move at all.
Xiao Shitou usually cooks and eats light meals. He only eats strong-flavored food when he's with Mingxiu. However, Mingxiu is careful about Xiao Shitou's stomach and doesn't let him eat anything too spicy.
But Mingxiu really wanted to eat today, so she thought it wouldn't hurt for Xiaoshitou to eat some.
As expected, the dishes were well received by Xiao Shitou and Kangxi. Although Kangxi also liked snails, he thought they were too unrefined to eat, so he ate more salt and pepper shrimp. Xiao Shitou simply couldn't eat spicy food, so he also ate salt and pepper shrimp and squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. No one was fighting with Mingxiu for them, and Mingxiu was very happy, happily eating the spicy stir-fried snails by herself.
Everyone agreed to the dinner, and when Mingxiu woke up the next morning, she heard that Xiaoshitou's father had arrived.
Mingxiu and Kangxi quickly took Xiaoshitou over, and as soon as they entered, they heard a sharp sound!
