Reminder

  Kangxi sensed Mingfei's unease and held her a little tighter, stroking the top of her hair softly and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Mingfei snuggled into Kangxi's arms.

  Kangxi smiled lightly and bent down to hold her in his arms: "At this time, even if you're not cold, I'm already feeling the chill. Whatever it is, let's discuss it on the bed."

  This is too vague, how can it be said in bed?

  The palace maidens almost all lowered their heads in some alarm.

  Mingfei's face suddenly turned red to the roots of her ears, and she buried her face in Kangxi's arms, letting him put her on the kang. Only when she heard the palace maids quietly retreating did she lift up her head.

  Kangxi almost covered Mingfei with a quilt, burying her completely under the quilt. He was very happy, but Mingfei lay in the quilt with an expression of discontent, and soon Kangxi himself also crawled inside.

  Kangxi's heart still looks very young, otherwise he wouldn't have had one or two childish moments from time to time.

  He chuckled and tickled Mingfei a few times, Mingfei was extremely ticklish, almost screaming out loud, and was held in Kangxi's arms, struggling to get free, looking like a weak woman encountering a strong thief. She laughed until tears came out: "Your Majesty... Brother..."

  Kangxi looked at her pitifully, and finally put down his hand to tuck in her quilt, holding her to his chest. He spoke softly: "You've always been like this, with a very small heart, easily startled by every little thing. I didn't expect that something would scare you again this time. However, since I'm here, you won't come to any great harm. You should put your mind at ease."

  Mingfei shifted uncomfortably in Kangxi's arms, and for some reason the words slipped out of her mouth: "Your Majesty, what if one day I were to become like Consort Yu?"

  Kangxi's hand on Mingfei's back stopped exactly at the position of Mingfei's heart.

  He furrowed his brow and lifted Mingfei's head, Mingfei had always thought she was not afraid of Kangxi, but until now she realized that the reason she was not afraid was because they had never made eye contact before. Kangxi's gaze at her had always been different, only this time could she clearly feel the emperor's anger.

  Like the molten lava tumbling down a volcano, even the slightest disturbance could darken the colors of heaven and earth. Mingfei didn't understand why Kangxi's anger was so great. She heard Kangxi's stern words: "Don't you believe in me?"

  Do you believe it? How can you believe it?

  She didn't even dare look at Kangxi's all-knowing eyes, and with her head lowered said: "When Your Majesty asked this question, did you ever believe me?"

  Kangxi frowned at Mingfei, the things between them he only occasionally thought about, but at this moment he seemed to vaguely understand something, yet ultimately didn't spend more mind to delve deeper.

  He reached out and stroked Mingfei's face: "In this palace, only you can be trusted, no one else can."

  Kangxi's hands were rough, but also warm. Mingfei stuck to his palm and rubbed it: "I understand."

  We are two beasts huddled together for warmth, yet you don't dare turn your back to me, but still demand my trust and dependence as before, that's what it means to be a king.

  Kangxi seemed satisfied with Mingfei's performance and once again circled around her: "If it really comes to that time, you will naturally know what I will do."

  Will you know? It's probably going to cost your life to find out.

  To outsiders, Kangxi was a majestic yet gentle emperor, but to Mingfei, his emotions were as unpredictable as his thoughts, elusive and changeable. He whispered softly in Mingfei's ear: "Give birth to a child for me."

  How did he suddenly want her to have children? She blushed and said: "This kind of thing can't be forced."

  Kangxi smiled and rubbed her: "If nothing is done, it would be too much to ask for, but if such a thing were done, it wouldn't necessarily be too much to ask for."

  His fiery passion had already pressed against the entrance of the secluded path, and even moved forward domineeringly. Mingfei was startled and subconsciously tightened her legs, this sudden tightness made Kangxi let out a muffled groan, and he suddenly thrust forward, almost burying himself inside.

  Mingfei retreated backward, didn't think and took off his pants. The emperor wouldn't compromise on such matters, if he was in a hurry, where would he still consider foreplay?

  Ming Fei Li Su's actions made Kang Xi laugh again, but he only used his big hands to find the sensitive spot on her buttocks and rubbed it back and forth: "Tell me, how did you cultivate this skin as white as jade? I feel like I'm going to lose control just by touching it. You're a seductress, aren't you?"

  Mingfei's face, already flushed with two peach blossoms, gazed up at Kangxi with a pair of beautiful, watery eyes, her voice husky and seductive: "Your Majesty, you only know how to bully me."

  Kangxi's breathing became heavy, his arms tightened around her, and his lips slowly wandered over her cheek: "Huh? I bullied you? How did I bully you?"

  He squeezed in with great enthusiasm, but only managed to get halfway through and didn't quite make it.

  Mingfei was made uncomfortable by him, but she was wet, and moved slightly with dissatisfaction, moaning: "Huang...hmm...the emperor is bad."

  Kangxi looked like he wasn't in a hurry, his hand slowly moved upwards and stopped in front of the two large white rabbits, slowly rubbing them, his hands still circling around the two cherries.

  The more like this, the more uncomfortable Ming Fei was, but Kang Xi just didn't move.

  She threw herself into Kangxi's arms and started nibbling on his shoulder, Kangxi's low, teasing voice sounded: "Are you in a hurry?"

  Ming Fei was disdainful in her heart, but she herself had already been scorched like this, and still wanted to pretend to be calm. Ming Fei squeezed her rabbit forward, her body swaying as she circled around Kang Xi's body.

  Kangxi moved fiercely and finally filled up that emptiness.

  Mingfei let out a comfortable sigh, and could still hear Kangxi squeezing out words from between his teeth: "You're really a demon!"

  Ming Fei actually wanted to say thank you for the compliment, but she really didn't have the guts. Once Kang Xi erupted, that power and heat required full force to counter...

  The women in the harem, no matter how much blood they shed in their hearts, still had to do what they had to do. Yi Pin's intelligence and perseverance were once again revealed after her child was taken away. She looked like she wasn't satisfied at all, but from time to time, there would be a few words that were reminiscent of Empress Dowager Cixi. The empress dowager naturally felt close to her when she saw her, and Yi Pin would occasionally shed a few tears when no one was paying attention, but this restraint also made people feel more sympathetic towards her. The empress dowager even allowed her to see the fifth prince from time to time, and Kangxi often stayed in her palace because of her understanding and tact.

  Yi Pian maximized all benefits after her own child was taken away.

  The weather is getting warmer day by day. At the time when Uya's sixth son was weak and sickly, the seventh son in Cheng's belly had already been four months old.

  The number of princes in the palace gradually increased, and Yongzheng was no longer as prominent as before, but he was still the most noble one except for the crown prince.

  Lan Xiang finally got married. On the third day after the wedding, when she returned to her parents' home, her blushing face was enough to show that she was having a very harmonious life with her husband.

  Xiao Hesheli was finally pregnant, and when Mingfei sent someone to check on her, they came back saying that Xiao Hesheli's aura had become heavier.

  Once a woman becomes a mother, she is ultimately different. The relationship between the husband and wife will also be much better after the child is born. I just hope that Long Ke Duo and Xiao He She Li can be better than before.

  In March, the triumphant army that had pacified the Three Feudatories finally returned. The Kangxi Emperor was overjoyed and couldn't stay in the palace, so he took the princes and high officials out to welcome the victorious army at a distance of twenty li on the first evening. On the second day, he led the welcoming party, including the princes, high officials, and officials who had returned with the army, to pay respects to Heaven. The Kangxi Emperor was very satisfied with Duan Yu, the General-in-Chief of the Pacification Army, and personally invited him to come forward for a conversation. He also personally helped him up from his kneeling position and let him sit on his left side. Furthermore, he granted seats to the military officers who had distinguished themselves in battle and rewarded them with tea and other gifts before returning to the Forbidden City.

  Obviously his excited mood had not subsided, he himself could not speak in front of Xiaozhuang, and also called Mingfei and several concubines below to come over.

  Kangxi said in a loud voice: "I didn't misjudge Yue Le, he is the most suitable to be a great general, with strategic thinking and bravery, but most importantly, he himself has real talent and can make ruthless decisions at critical moments. Without him, it would have been impossible to pacify the three feudatories."

  Xiao Zhuang was also delighted and smiled, saying: "It's also because you know how to identify people. Being an emperor is like this, as long as you use the right person, everything can be done with half the effort. The Emperor is getting more and more experienced, however, Xuan Ye, come over here, it seems that your old ancestor has been looking at you with a darker expression, but when you went out, you didn't take care of yourself and got sunburned?"

  Xianzhen is getting older, and Kangxi treats her more and more like a child. Every time she scolds Kangxi, he changes his face, but she still has to silently endure it. Mingfei can't help but feel delighted whenever she sees Kangxi in this state - what's the point of being an emperor if someone is still controlling you?

  You're so arrogant, you've got a bunch of women surrounding you, serves you right for losing face!

  Mingfei looked at Kangxi's smiling face and her words got stuck on her face, this time it really turned black. She said dryly: "I am a man, even if I have become darker from sun exposure, that doesn't matter, it's just more masculine, don't worry about it, ancestors."

  Xiangzhuang sighed and said: "Alas, as people get older, they love to worry about these things. Does Xuan Yan dislike the old ancestor's troubles?"

  Mingfei's face turned green as she looked at Kangxi, her voice filled with an unshakeable determination that was absolutely not what he had said: "How could the grandson be annoyed by his old ancestor? The grandson wishes for his old ancestor to live a long and healthy life, so that he can serve him for a long time!"

  Her smile was so wide and joyful that her own face shape had changed.

  Empress Xiaozhuang was satisfied with Kangxi's answer, and turned her head to see Mingfei: "Noble Consort, is it because you're taking care of Yongzheng that you've become so worn out? I'm looking at your face and it's all sunken in."

  Minfei's heart skipped a beat, and she hastily smiled: "Just the other day, I was still feeling the extra flesh on my body, how could I have lost weight? Besides, with Yunzhong here to keep me company, all my worries are gone. Even if I had more troubles, I wouldn't be able to lose weight." Finally, she disdainfully said: "That kind of person who is thinner than a yellow flower, I don't like that kind of state either."

  "Really, it's just like the Empress Dowager said - one word from you and it tickles people's hearts! You don't say anything, but as soon as you open your mouth, it's hilarious!"

  Rong Gui said from one side: "That's also because of your filial piety, Consort. You want to see the old emperor happy."

  Xiao Zhuang smiled and said: "They are all eloquent."

  Empress Xiaozhuang seemed to have thought of something and asked Kangxi: "I vaguely heard that Xu Zhidao, the former governor of Huguang, was a very honest person. Before his death, he had borrowed a lot of money to prepare for the military expenses of the soldiers, but after his death, although there were rewards from the court, they only paid off the debts. His son also died in battle, and his wife arranged for Xu Zhidao's funeral before she passed away, leaving behind a two-year-old daughter who is now living with others, struggling to make ends meet."

  Her voice gradually lowered: "I'm so worried to hear that the final outcome of a meritorious minister is so desolate. If such things are common, who would be willing to defend their family and country? Who would be willing to guard the territory for the Qing dynasty? Xuanye, don't underestimate these small matters. Give Xu Zhidu and his wife a higher rank, let his coffin return home with honor. That little girl, I heard she's being raised in Beijing by her uncle, I'll issue an edict to summon her to come over within a few days. In any case, we can't treat the descendants of meritorious ministers poorly."

  Xianzong was warning Kangxi of his success at the height of his career. Although an empire's management can be explained by the victory of war, which shows the emperor's ability, how to make all people recognize it is the most important thing. The emperor needs to take care of the emotions of the people even more, and only then can the throne last forever.

  Mingfei felt that staying with Xiaozhuang seemed to always learn something, Kangxi's growth into a thousand-year-old emperor was absolutely inseparable from her credit, such a woman made it difficult for people not to admire, their vision and insight were incomparable to ordinary emperors.

  Kangxi's most pressing concern these days is the war situation. Xu Zhi and such things have long been forgotten, but when Xiaozhuang mentions it, his face shows a hint of guilt: "It was my fault for being remiss."

  Filial and Villainous smiled and patted him on the back: "You've done a great job so far, and you'll definitely do even better in the future!"

  Kangxi's spirits lifted once more: "I'll have it!"

  Empress Dowager seemed to have become that dazed old lady again, turning her head to Mingfei and saying: "The little girl has come, it must be to give her some things to play with. I'm not as young as you people, I don't know what little girls like these days. You arrange for some things to be prepared, after all, this is the first time a child from a noble family has entered the palace, and I'm afraid of scaring her. Minglan isn't very old, you can bring her along next time too, she's a lively one, with her around that little girl will feel more at ease."

  Mingfei looked at Xiaozhuang with new eyes, the emperor of this empire had to bow down to her, yet she was willing to put herself in the shoes of a penniless orphan girl, what kind of magnanimity and demeanor would it take to have?

  She respectfully replied: "Minglan is a silly girl, and it's laughable even to our ancestors."

  Filial and Villainous shook her head repeatedly: "I really like looking at sturdy children, it's comfortable to look at people, little kids should have the appearance of little kids, they can't be silent all day."

  Empress Xiaozhuang looked at the large clock on the floor: "It's also time, Your Majesty must still have things to do, I won't keep you any longer."

  Kangxi took the opportunity to stand up and left with Mingfei and several others.

  Kangxi went to Yangxindian, and Mingfei also had nothing urgent, saying to the people behind him: "I haven't gone to see Sixth Brother for several days, you should go take a look? On the way, go visit Chengpin as well."

  In this world, you have to think a thousand times before doing anything, or else you'll get yourself into trouble. The few people behind Mingfei exchanged glances with each other, and Hehuai said: "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go visit Sixth Brother and Chengmei Sister, lest I pass on the illness."

  Huifang's courage has become smaller and smaller, almost never leaving her Yanxi Palace. Yifen is still as usual, looking like a straightforward and bold person, smiling and saying: "It just so happens that I'm also on the way, so I'll take advantage of the noble concubine's light to go together."

  Rong Pinni looked around and said: "I'll go with you too."

  The rest of them were unwilling to go.

  Ming Fei smiled and nodded.
