Chapter 5: The Cub's Golden Finger?



Oh my god, she's so happy! Is today her lucky day?

Three little girls sat at the table next to Mingxiu, watching her receive the reward money and chuckling nonstop.

The little girl next to her was horrified, muttering, "It's only half a year's reward, is Sister Mingxiu really going to make such a fuss?"

Kunning Palace

The room was filled with the fragrance of incense and the elegance of women. A woman dressed in a crimson dress looked at the man before her with a gentle and serene smile. As he instructed the servants, she said shyly, "Your Majesty, the servants will carry out the instructions. Your Majesty need not worry."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi turned around and looked at the Empress gently, saying, "Your Majesty, you must be careful. Let Consort Tong and Consort Shu take charge of some of the affairs in the palace. Your most important task now is to take good care of the child in your womb."

The Empress paused, her shyness fading slightly. She was somewhat unwilling, but since the Emperor had already spoken, she couldn't object and could only nod in agreement.

Emperor Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, gave a few more instructions, and then returned to the Qianqing Palace, as he still had a lot of official business to attend to.

As Kangxi walked out of Kunning Palace, the Empress's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Seeing the Empress's expression, the nanny beside her comforted her, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is right. Our most important thing now is to give birth to the little prince healthy."

The Empress touched her belly, her face dark and unreadable. "I know, I just can't bear to part with it. I've only just gained control of the palace, and now it's going to be given away, and to that wretched woman from the Tong family no less."

"Your Majesty, His Majesty does not have many children right now. As long as you give birth to a healthy prince, the little prince will be the legitimate son of the Empress. Then no one will be able to shake your position. You can then slowly take back the power in the palace," the nanny quickly advised, seeing the Empress getting stuck on this idea.

"You're right, I was wrong." The Empress realized that what mattered most to her now was the child in her womb.

Besides, she genuinely felt that this pregnancy wasn't going well, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to manage it all. "Never mind."

Coming to her senses and understanding, the Empress stopped worrying. It would only be a few months anyway. So she instructed, "Xuexin, Ziling, you two go and invite Consort Tong and Consort Shu over. Tell them I have important matters to discuss."

"Yes," the two palace maids standing nearby acknowledged the order and left.

Under the blazing sun, all kinds of flowers bloom.

Mingxiu finally emerged from the joy of seeing Kangxi and learning that the little prince was coming soon, but immediately fell into a new worry. Historically, the empress died in childbirth when she gave birth to the little prince, so some people said that the little prince was a jinx to his mother. In addition, the little prince had no one around him to teach him from a young age, and most people respected him but were afraid of him.

Although Emperor Kangxi doted on this child, he was simply too busy to take care of him. Naturally, the young prince had too many loopholes around him, which allowed others to take advantage of him, and his temperament gradually became corrupted.

If you want the crown prince to grow up healthy, you have to start by educating him from a young age.

Mingxiu sat in the space, looking at He Liu with a worried expression. She really felt sorry for the young crown prince. He had no mother since he was a child, his father was too busy to pay attention to him all the time, and he had no confidants by his side. In addition, the emperor suppressed him later, which made him live in fear all the time. He was worried that the emperor would not like him anymore. The pressure was increasing. In addition, being the crown prince and being watched by many people, he had no way to vent his emotions. The suppressed emotions eventually led to psychological distortion and violent tendencies.

However, no one paid attention to the prince's psychology. The wealthy family only saw the bad side and not the good side. When she was in the modern era, she heard a psychologist in a museum say that the young prince was the first to suffer from mental illness. If his psychological problems could have been cured back then, perhaps everything would have been different.

Perhaps the struggle for the throne among the nine princes would not have occurred, which would have resulted in the loss of almost all of Kangxi's most outstanding sons, and the Fourth Prince would not have died from overwork at his desk.

Thinking of this, Mingxiu couldn't help but grit her teeth. It was all because of this Wuya clan. If it weren't for her, Yinzhen wouldn't have suffered so much. She could have easily traded Yinzhen for a position without hesitation. In the end, she acted like a prostitute trying to build a chastity arch. After getting the position, she was still not satisfied and acted like a naive little flower. She even wanted to use her child to win favor. It was disgusting.

You could have pretended to be serious, but when the child came back, you felt that the child was a disgrace to you. Seeing him reminded you of the days when you lived under Consort Tong. On the one hand, you were critical and sarcastic towards Yinzhen, and on the other hand, you wanted Yinzhen to be your fourteenth son.

What's that called?

By the way, the nanny always blamed Yinzhen for any problems that happened to her fourteenth son. In the end, she even refused to become Empress Dowager for the sake of her precious child, which made Yinzhen's personality more and more withdrawn and almost made him a laughing stock.

Thinking back to the story of the Fourth Prince she read in her past life, it was truly unbearable. It made her want to curse. Add to that a bunch of concubines cheating on Yinzhen, and Yinzhen was completely unaware of it, ultimately letting that lucky boy become the emperor...

Mingxiu felt irritated whenever she thought of Hongli.

"Ahhhhh, no, no!" She stood up and patted her face. "Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get." Mingxiu rolled her eyes and prepared to go find something to eat to calm herself down.

"Hmm? What is it?" Mingxiu, who was holding something and preparing to find a place to vent her anger, saw something on the table that she had just left.

Picking up the item, Mingxiu looked up at the sky and confirmed that it hadn't been there when she left.

"Could it be that the system left it there?" Mingxiu's eyes lit up at this thought.

I quickly opened it to take a look.

"Instruction manual? There's such a thing?" Mingxiu was speechless, but what could she do?

Cold dish

Mingxiu shook her head and continued reading.

"System, you bastard!" Mingxiu couldn't help but curse after reading the instruction manual, and gave the middle finger to the sky.

Good news! There's a cheat code!

Bad news: the cheat codes don't work!

That's not right either.

She can't use the cheat system herself!

What do you mean she's not qualified!

How can this system be so discriminatory?

Rolling her eyes, Mingxiu cursed inwardly, 'Why did you choose me if I wasn't qualified? Now that we've come this far, you're saying I'm not qualified?'

After seeing Mingxiu's post, I felt a little relieved. Thankfully, her space was still usable.

She was more worried about her personal space, because if she lost it, she would lose all her support, and she wasn't sure if she could stay in the Qing Dynasty.

Thank goodness!

Mingxiu stared into thought as she read the instruction manual. The cheat system was a newly created infant system, immature in mind. Because it was just born, it needed someone with dragon aura to take care of it and help it grow slowly.

So here's the question: only the Emperor and the Crown Prince possess dragon aura, right? So who should receive it from?

The Emperor can definitely do it, but Mingxiu is a little worried.

But the remaining choice must be between Yinreng and Yinzhen.

Looking at the instruction manual for a long time

Mingxiu relaxed her furrowed brows.

'Forget it, we'll see when the time comes. It's still early, those two haven't even been born yet.' We'll see then.
