Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

Mu Xi tasted the delicious food on the table while her brain was working rapidly.

"Your Majesty, the orchids I saw in the Imperial Garden today are very beautiful. I wonder if I can cultivate them."

When Kangxi heard this, he smiled and said, "Little girl, those orchids are rare. It's not easy to cultivate them. This is the first time I've seen them. If you like them, go to the palace more often and appreciate them carefully. They may not be available again in the future. Those rare orchids are hard to come by."

Mu Xi was very surprised to hear this, and her eyes began to light up. She then gave Fourth Prince Yinzhen a look, asking him to fulfill his promise to her.

Fourth Prince Yinzhen: ? ? ? I’m stunned! Is Princess Mingxi having an eye spasm?

Mu Xi: Still playing dumb, are you trying to cheat me? Didn't you agree to help me get a few pots? Forget it, I'll just do it myself. It's true that if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall, and if you rely on people, they will run away. It's better to rely on yourself!

"In that case, isn't it a pity to leave it in the imperial garden? This kind of precious and rare treasure should be taken out to show off, so that the emperor's subjects can broaden their horizons. Your Majesty, don't you agree?

Your Majesty, you are very busy, and I have a very good relationship with you. I am also your future daughter-in-law, so it is most appropriate for me to take care of this matter. I promise to make good use of those precious orchids."

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen heard this, he knew what Mu Xi meant by giving him a look just now, but this did not affect Yinzhen's uncontrollable twitching of the corners of his mouth.

I didn't expect Mu Xi to ask the Emperor for orchids so directly. That was a lame excuse, and no one believed it. It's really hard for the future wife to speak so righteously.

Kangxi heard this familiar routine, and the veins on his forehead couldn't stop throbbing. "Muxi girl, if you want orchids, just say so directly. There's no need to make up these nonsense excuses. You always find the same excuse. Can't you change it?"

Hearing this, Mu Xi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if the reason is bad, as long as it is useful. So how many pots has the emperor agreed to give to your servant?"

Kangxi stopped smiling when he heard this and said calmly, "No, Muxi girl, you always turn my treasures into common goods. I haven't appreciated those orchids enough, so I don't want you to ruin them."

When Mu Xi heard this, her smile froze and she looked at Kangxi with an accusing look.

It's as if to say, how can you say such cold words with a body temperature of 37 degrees?

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen heard this, he was a little confused, but he was able to piece together the general truth from the conversation between Mu Xi and Kangxi.

"Father, the precious orchids in the Imperial Garden are difficult to cultivate. Father, please rest assured to leave them to Princess Mingxi. They will definitely not become common orchids."

When Kangxi heard what the fourth prince Yinzhen said, he snorted.

Am I just afraid that Mu Xi will cultivate the precious orchid? I am afraid that she will kill the precious orchid that I have obtained with great difficulty!

Seeing that Kangxi was still unwilling to give in, Mu Xi swallowed the last bite of her meal, took the handkerchief to wash her hands, and prepared to use her ultimate move.

When Kangxi saw Mu Xi rolling up her sleeves, ready to fight, the veins on his forehead couldn't help but twitch again, and his scalp began to hurt. He had a bad feeling and reflexively prepared to stay away from Mu Xi.

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen saw Mu Xi's actions, he felt a pain on his forehead and began to imagine things in his mind.

Fourth Prince: Without the orchid, is Mu Xi going to fight with the Emperor? Should I help the Emperor or the future wife? Or should I remain neutral and watch the show from the sidelines?

Mu Xi: Watching a show? Let me say thank you! Where's the help you promised?

Mu Xi ignored the nervous looks of Kangxi and his son, took a few steps forward, grabbed the corner of Kangxi's clothes, and began to cry and beg for the orchid.

Kangxi: Very good, a familiar routine. When Muxi was little, she would just cling to the thigh and act like a spoiled brat. Now that she has grown up, she has changed to pulling the corner of the clothes.

Mu Xi: There is no other way. Who says this trick works? If I hadn’t grown up and wanted to avoid suspicion, of course it would be better to hug someone and cry.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen stared at Mu Xi's outrageous behavior in amazement. After he came to his senses, he still felt sorry for his future wife, so he went forward and began to coax Mu Xi.

"Princess Mingxi, please don't cry. You'll hurt your body if you cry. The Emperor will definitely be willing to give away those orchids. If he doesn't want to, I'll find you other precious orchids, okay..."

Kangxi looked at the engaged couple helplessly and had a bad feeling. He always felt that after Mu Xi married into the Aisin-Gioro family, it would be easier for her to extort things from his private vault and she would even find help.

"Let go, Muxi girl. I'll give it to you. Go to the Imperial Garden and choose one yourself."

When Mu Xi heard that Kangxi agreed, she stopped crying immediately, revealing her fair little face without any trace of tears.

Yinzhen looked at his royal father and then at Mu Xi, and felt like he had been foolishly deceived!

Kangxi looked at his fourth son with amusement, he must have been tricked, Mu Xi girl has done many things like this without crying.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will share some of the money I earned this time with Your Majesty. How about that?" Mu Xi said with a flattering smile.

Kangxi was about to refute this, but thinking about how Mu Xi made a lot of money every time she used his things, he decided to accept it with a smile. After all, the silver that Mu Xi handed over every time was at least hundreds of thousands of taels. "You are a girl who likes to make trouble. If you were a man, I would definitely hand over the Ministry of Revenue to you."

"Hehe, it's a pity that I'm not your daughter-in-law, but I can also be your daughter-in-law. I will be filial to Your Majesty in the future." Mu Xi replied with a smile.

When Kangxi heard this, he laughed out loud!

"Then Your Majesty, since I am so filial, will you make the decision for me? Today in the Imperial Garden, I met the Empress Defei, and she seemed to dislike me..."

Mu Xi told the story again, and exaggerated a little to explain what happened.

When Kangxi heard Mu Xi's words, he did not believe them completely, but he still believed half of them. He felt that Concubine De had become too indulgent because of his pampering recently and was beginning to become arrogant. However, this matter still needed to be investigated.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen did not expect that Mu Xi would complain directly to the Emperor, and that the person she complained against was the Emperor's concubine. However, the Emperor did not blame her, but comforted Mu Xi instead.

When Mu Xi saw a minister coming to see Kangxi, she tactfully took the Fourth Prince Yinzhen and left.

"Let's go, let's go to the Imperial Garden to move the orchids! Yinzhen, come here and help me pick out the one that's more valuable... No, I mean more precious!"

Mu Xi smiled and pulled the Fourth Prince to the Imperial Garden, looking at the pots of orchids with a pitying look.

When the Fourth Prince heard this, he picked a few pots of orchids helplessly. Mu Xi hesitated for a while, but finally took most of the orchids away. After selecting the orchids, she quickly asked the Fourth Prince to take her out of the palace. If Kangxi found out, these orchids might have been left behind.

Kangxi had just finished discussing important matters with his ministers and was still a little angry. At this time, Liang Jiugong came in and reported Mu Xi's battle record. The veins on Kangxi's forehead kept throbbing.

I'd better go out and get some fresh air. I'm so angry that girl Mu Xi has picked all the options. If that girl Mu Xi doesn't figure out something interesting this time, I will never stop being fooled by that girl Mu Xi again.

When Kangxi arrived at the Imperial Garden and saw only a few orchids of poor quality left, he decided to just ignore them and left.

At this time, Concubine De showed up. It was unknown whether she was mad at Mu Xi today or the bad luck talisman that Mu Xi posted before leaving was taking effect.

Defei didn't notice Kangxi's irritable mood at all, and started to complain about Mu Xi.

Kangxi thought about the news he had asked people to find out today, as well as Defei's current face of distorting the facts, and Defei's various behaviors towards Yinzhen. The annoyance in his heart just found an outlet.

Kangxi directly criticized Concubine De venomously and even put her under house arrest for a month.

When the concubines in the harem heard the news, they all laughed out loud, feeling extremely gloating and laughing at Concubine De's joke.

Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia knew that Concubine De wanted to file a complaint against her future daughter-in-law but was punished by the Emperor. She was angry but also laughed at Concubine De. She thought to herself that Princess Mingxi was indeed her lucky star, as she had made Concubine De suffer a setback the first time she entered the harem. She must reward Princess Mingxi well.

After the Fourth Prince Yinzhen knew about this, he became even more disgusted with Concubine De. She had targeted him before, and now she was targeting his wife-to-be. How could he have such a vicious mother?

Some people are happy and some are worried!

The Sixth Prince knew that his mother was under house arrest because of the Fourth Prince's people, and he angrily threw things in the house and insulted the Fourth Prince viciously. However, the Sixth Prince only dared to vent these things in private.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen knew that Muxi did not like Concubine De, and he specially wrote a letter to tell Muxi about this to make her happy.

After reading the letter, Mu Xi laughed out loud on the spot, and then devoted herself to the orchid cultivation business.
