Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

It was a sunny day with a clear blue sky. Lin Daiyu pondered to herself that she had never set foot in the Imperial Gardens. So, she decided to go there with her attendant to experience its beauty. However, as they approached the lotus pond, they suddenly heard a sobbing sound. Intrigued, Lin Daiyu and her attendant approached to investigate. As they approached, they saw a young child in bright yellow clothes, weeping alone.

Lin Daiyu approached and softly asked, "Your Highness, why are you here alone? Where have the maids and the servants gone?" The prince looked up, wiped his tears, and choked back a sob, "Madam Shurong..." Then, his lips curled as if he were about to cry again. Seeing his pitiful appearance, Lin Daiyu ordered her attendant to help him up and take him to a seat in the pavilion. She then sent for some cakes and drinks. Soon, the prince and Lin Daiyu were the only ones left in the pavilion.

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly and asked softly, "Now the prince told me why you are crying? And you don't even have a servant by your side."

The prince was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Today is the anniversary of the death of the Empress Dowager. Those people say that the Empress Dowager was killed by me..." As he spoke, tears could not help but fall down.

Lin Daiyu gently stroked the prince's head and said softly, "Prince, your mother loved you deeply. She definitely did not die because of you. If she knew that her child would bear the stigma of being a mother killer, she would be extremely distressed. I firmly believe that if the Queen were still alive, she would definitely hope that you were well..." As she spoke, she took the pastries brought by the secretary, handed them to the prince, and motioned him to eat some.

The prince said aggrievedly: "Empress Shurong, do all my brothers want to sit in my position? Sometimes I really want to switch with them! In order to be a good prince, I can't be willful and have my own preferences. They just envy me for being a prince, but I envy them for having my mother by their side and being able to do whatever they want. I often need to get up at 3 a.m. to study and can't fall asleep until 12 a.m. Although the emperor loves me, he also has a lot of things to deal with and often can't take care of me..." At this point, the prince couldn't help but shed tears.

Looking at the prince crying in front of her, Lin Daiyu couldn't bear it. She gently wiped his tears with a handkerchief and comforted him softly: "Don't cry, you look so pitiful. Come, let's make a bowl of longevity noodles together!" After that, she took the prince to the small kitchen of Yongning Palace.

In the kitchen, Daiyu had driven everyone out except for the attendant who had stayed to help light the fire. At that moment, Daiyu and the prince stood side by side, working together to knead the dough for noodles. The prince's face, covered in flour, looked like a cute little cat, which made Daiyu burst into laughter. When Kangxi entered the kitchen, he was greeted by a heartwarming and playful scene: the two were happily playing and joking, full of childlike innocence.

When the noodles were ready, the prince and Daiyu were covered in flour. Kangxi laughed and said, "Why did you two think of making noodles yourself?"

Daiyu tenderly took the towel and gently wiped the flour off the prince's face, then turned around and changed into simple and elegant clothes. Smiling, she led Kangxi and the prince to taste the delicious noodles together. Her eyes fell on the prince who was eating with gusto, and her heart was filled with joy.

Suddenly, she remembered something and called Shihua over, handing the exquisite box to her. Carefully opening the box, she took out a warm jade pendant and gently placed it around the prince's slender neck, whispering, "Happy birthday, Prince!"

Kangxi was absorbed in eating noodles when, upon hearing these words, his chopsticks paused, a flash of realization crossing his mind. He had forgotten that today was not only the anniversary of the Empress's death, but also the Crown Prince's birthday. A wave of guilt welled up in his heart, and he quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and ordered Li Dequan to go to his private vault and retrieve the precious dagger he had presented during the last Mongol invasion, as a birthday gift for the Crown Prince.

The prince blinked his bright eyes, which sparkled with surprise. He stared at Daiyu and said gratefully, "Thank you, Empress Shurong!"

Daiyu: "You're welcome!" Seeing this, Kangxi handed the dagger to the prince and said, "This is a birthday gift from the emperor!" The prince took it and said, "Thank you!" After the prince finished eating, he fell asleep on the couch. Daiyu asked someone to carry him to the bed and cover him with a quilt.

Walking out with Kangxi, Daiyu made him a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, Yuqing Palace needs to be cleaned up. The Crown Prince has been missing for so long and no one has come to look for him. Furthermore, they are fabricating stories behind the scenes that he will bring disaster upon his mother. It seems someone behind these people is doing this on purpose. They encountered me today. What if the Crown Prince runs away and gets into trouble?"

Kangxi's face changed after hearing this. He ordered Li Dequan to investigate and send all the servants in Yuqing Palace to the Ministry of Punishment!

Daiyu thought for a moment and said, "I think the prince's wet nurse should also be sent away, to prevent the slave from bullying the master! The prince has been missing for such a long time, and she hasn't sent anyone to inform the emperor..." Kangxi thought about it and felt that what Daiyu said was right, so he ordered the prince's wet nurse to be sent out of the palace...
