Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Time flew by, and a month had already passed. In the mysterious Kunning Palace, Qingyao alone watched over her infant son in his cradle, her face brimming with love and compassion. She carefully flipped through the account books and attended to the trivial palace affairs. Everything seemed ordinary and peaceful.

However, this peaceful atmosphere was broken by Huipin's sudden visit. Qingyao gently put down the account book in her hand, looked up and greeted the unexpected guest with a smile: "It turns out to be Huipin's sister. Please take a seat. Chunyu, serve tea."

After a heartwarming conversation, Huipin mentioned Yuanyuan. Qingyao, with an extremely loving expression, gently hugged Yuanyuan and affectionately left a kiss on his cute little chubby face.

Huipin watched this scene, her heart filled with envy: "Sister, this is the Third Prince. He's so well-behaved, unlike the one my sister gave birth to, who was such a mischievous kid." Qingyao laughed softly, sharing her experience: "Don't be fooled by how well-behaved he looks now. When she was pregnant with Chenghu, she vomited a lot. She was even better than when she was pregnant with Chenghu. She was really well-behaved then. She didn't even know she was pregnant. If the imperial physician hadn't come to check her pulse, it would have been much later before they discovered it."

At this moment, Chenghu suddenly appeared, interrupting their conversation. He ran into Kunning Palace quickly: "Mother~" Qingyao smiled slightly: "Run slower, watch your step." She took the handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off his face.

Chunxi and her younger brother Baoqing walked into Kunning Palace together. After paying their respects to Concubine Hui, they chatted happily for a while and then said goodbye and left. Chunxi and Chenghu teased the cute Yuanyuan together. Yuanyuan's little arms and legs were only covered by a big red bellyband, which made her look very cute. Chenghu lay on the bed and shouted excitedly: "Sister, come and see, Yuanyuan's little arms and legs are all segmented." Chunxi walked over and sat down, staring at Yuanyuan who was only wearing a big red bellyband, and smiled as she recalled: "When you were a child, you were just like Yuanyuan, with little arms and legs also segmented."

Seeing this scene, Qingyao felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. She asked softly, "Chunxi, do you still remember your childhood?" Chunxi smiled slightly and said, "Of course I remember. I was two or three years older than Chenghu. When he was born, my father gave him to my mother to raise. So I saw him. He was as red as a monkey back then."

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Liang Jiugong's voice echoed in the hall. Kangxi strode into the hall with a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

Qingyao quickly released her son's hand and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you." Chunxi Chenghu followed suit, bowing, "Son, I pay my respects to you, Father."

Kangxi raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be so polite.

Qingyao was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "Why did His Majesty come here in person? Isn't he riding in a sedan chair?"

Kangxi smiled and explained, "It's hot, and it's too stuffy to sit in a sedan chair. It's better to walk. Besides, I want to see Yuanyuan, and come see you too."

After hearing this, Qingyao felt warm in her heart and said with concern: "It's so hot today, Your Majesty, you should come here in a sedan chair. It's hot and tiring to walk here." As she spoke, she gently picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Kangxi replied calmly: "The Qianqing Palace is close to your bedroom, so I didn't take the sedan chair."

Qingyao gently helped him sit down and immediately ordered Chunyu to quickly bring a bowl of refreshing mung bean soup. Kangxi sat down and asked with concern, "Qingqing, are you going to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat? The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are both old and will definitely not tolerate the heat."

Qingyao responded with a smile: "I will follow the arrangements of His Majesty." She pulled him to the inner hall to bathe and change clothes.

Kangxi smiled and said, "Then we will set out in three days and return before August 15th."

Qingyao replied softly, "Yes, Your Majesty." She paused and asked tentatively, "Husband?"

Kangxi turned around immediately, his eyes firm and deep: "Hmm?"

Kangxi gently called out "Qingqing", and Qingyao responded gently: "I'm here." She picked up a cloth and gently wiped his back.

Kangxi sighed with emotion for the hard work over the years and raised his hand to pat the back of her hand. Qingyao whispered softly, "Sanlang, we are husband and wife for life."

Kangxi responded affectionately: "Yes, we are husband and wife, husband and wife for life."

Qingyao put down the towel, gently massaged his shoulders with her small hands, and gently agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty is right." Qingyao felt relieved.

After changing into a bright yellow inner garment and casual clothes, and tying a belt, Qingyao gently helped him arrange his clothes. Kangxi looked at her and asked affectionately, "Qingqing, do you want me to stay?" Qingyao smiled and replied, "Tuan Tuan Yuanyuan and Chunxi miss their father."

Kangxi then asked, "Qingqing, why are you avoiding the question? Do you want me to stay?" Qingyao answered frankly, "Of course I do."

Hearing this, a hint of tenderness flashed in Kangxi's eyes, and he whispered: "Since you all want me to stay, then I will stay." Behind them, a warm atmosphere quietly filled the room.

Qingyao gently supported his arm as they slowly returned to the inner hall. She asked softly, "Sanlang, have you thought of a good name for Yuanyuan?" Her eyes were filled with anticipation and concern.

Kangxi nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Of course, I've already thought about it. I want to wait until Yuanyuan turns one year old, and all the names from Chenghu onwards will begin with the character Yin. Yin means the continuation of descendants, representing the continuation of the family line."

Qingyao asked carefully, "But Chenghu is different from them. Is this okay?"

Kangxi nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course. Chenghu is a name specially given by the Imperial Madam. It is unique."

Qingyao gently reminded him, "Then Sanlang must make it clear to Chenghu, lest he think you don't like him."

Kangxi smiled warmly: "Okay, I will explain it to him."

That night

The wet nurse felt that the young master's forehead was incredibly hot and thought to herself, "Oh, he must be sick!" She quickly put down her hand and hurriedly left the side hall.

Xia He waited quietly outside the hall. Seeing the wet nurse hurried over, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Nanny, shouldn't you be guarding the young master? Why are you running to the main hall?"

The nurse said anxiously, "Xia He, go and inform the Empress immediately that the eldest princess is ill."

Xia He knocked on the door immediately after hearing the sound. Qing Yao opened her eyes and asked, "What's going on?"

Xia He: "My Lady, the eldest princess is ill."

Qingyao immediately sat up and said anxiously, "Xia He, go get the imperial physician!"

Xia He: "Yes, Your Majesty." She immediately turned around and went to the Imperial Hospital.

Kangxi: "My dear, what happened?"

Qingyao: "Master, Chunxi is sick."

Kangxi sat up and said softly, "Let's go see her together."

Qingyao immediately jumped off the bed, threw on a piece of clothing, put on embroidered shoes of the same color, and ran out.

Kangxi hurriedly put on his clothes, quickly put on his boots, and followed closely behind.

Hendon

Qingyao, with disheveled clothes and long hair, walked into the room and asked anxiously, "How is Chunxi?"

The nurse replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess still has a fever."

Qingyao slowly walked to the bed and sat down. She raised her hand and gently touched Da Gege's forehead, with a hint of worry in her tone: "Why is it so hot?"

Kangxi: "My dear, how is it?"

Qingyao: "Chunxi still has a high fever."

Xia He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived."

Qingyao immediately ordered: "Quickly ask the imperial physician to come in."

Imperial Physician Wang knelt humbly and respectfully, cupped his hands, and bowed to the Emperor and Empress, saying respectfully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live long and long. Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Kangxi: "Stand up! Quickly check the eldest princess's pulse!"

Qingyao stepped aside to make room for him, and the imperial physician carefully felt her pulse. Imperial Physician Wang replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has contracted a cold and is not seriously ill."

Kangxi nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you're okay. You can write the prescription." He waved his hand to signal Doctor Wang to leave.

Qingyao said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please go back and rest. The morning court will begin in a few hours. I will take care of Chunxi here, so you don't need to worry."

Kangxi said with concern: "Don't overwork yourself. Let the palace maids do it."

Qingyao replied respectfully: "Yes, I obey your command."

Kangxi left the side hall and returned to his bedroom in the main hall, exhausted. He slowly lay down on the phoenix couch, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

Qingyao sat quietly beside the bed, guarding Chunxi as she fell asleep peacefully. As time passed, moonlight filled her figure.
