Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

He Zhu nodded in response, "Yes, master." He acted quickly and went to invite the two princes without hesitation.

Chenghu walked down the stairs and left Ruyi Residence directly.

He Zhu followed the two princes downstairs to pay the money.

Yinzhen said coquettishly: "Third brother~ Third brother~ I'm not full yet."

Yinreng raised his hand gently and patted his head tenderly, his voice full of doting: "Xiaowu, be patient, let's go home for dinner."

Yinzhen: "Then let's go quickly, my elder brother is still waiting in the carriage."

When Yinreng and his brother arrived at the carriage, Yinreng got on first and reached out to pull his brother up.

Yinzhen stepped into the carriage and caught a glimpse of his eldest brother. He curled his lips and showed a childish expression: "Brother, my stomach is rumbling like thunder. I haven't eaten enough yet and I still feel hungry."

Cheng Hu: "Be good, let's go back to the palace to eat. That Longkodo has ruined our mood."

Yinzhen: "Okay," he said, lying in his elder brother's arms somewhat unhappy.

Yinreng: "Brother, don't be angry with him. Let's go back and tell the Emperor."

Cheng Hu said firmly, "I will report this matter to the Emperor and seek his fair judgment."

He Zhu drove the carriage back to the palace.

Cheng Hu: "Baocheng, take Xiaowu back to Yuqing Palace for dinner. I will go to Qianqing Palace first."

Yinreng: "I understand, brother~"

Qianqing Palace

Chenghu knelt down directly at the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

Wei Zhu: "Prince! Please get up quickly!"

Cheng Hu: "Eunuch Wei, please tell him I want to see the Emperor."

Wei Zhu: "Prince, you don't have to kneel when you want to see His Majesty."

Cheng Hu: "I have something important to do."

Wei Zhu: "Prince, please get up first. I will go in and inform you."

Chenghu stood up and waited.

Wei Zhu raised her hand and knocked on the door gently, then pushed it open and walked in.

Liang Jiugong lowered his voice and asked, "How did you get in?"

Wei Zhu: "Master, the Crown Prince is outside and wants to see His Majesty."

Liang Jiugong: "Didn't the Crown Prince leave the palace to visit the Crown Prince's Mansion? Why so soon? Is there something inappropriate?"

Wei Zhu: "Master, you'd better tell His Majesty quickly, otherwise the Crown Prince will be on his knees again."

Liang Jiugong reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting outside the palace and requests an audience."

Kangxi: "Chenghu is here, let him in."

Liang Jiugong: "Yes, I will go and invite the prince right away." He turned and went out.

Chenghu and others were outside the Qianqing Palace.

Liang Jiugong: "Your servant pays respects to the Crown Prince. Your Majesty invites you in."

Chenghu stepped into the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi looked up and saw his beloved son's displeasure. He asked gently, "Why do you look so worried, my son? Is it because the architecture of the Prince's Mansion doesn't meet your expectations? Father, please order the Ministry of Works to redesign it until you are satisfied."

Chenghu reported in a low voice, "Father, this is not the Crown Prince's Mansion's fault. It was simply that Baocheng, Yuanyuan, and I were having dinner together outside and were interrupted without cause, ruining our enjoyment."

Kangxi frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who dares to interrupt my son's enjoyment?"

Chenghu recounted the events of Ruyi Residence in detail, speaking candidly: "Father, Longkodo, though a member of the Eight Banners, abused his power to bully others. If other members of the Eight Banners had followed his example, the consequences would have been disastrous. Fortunately, only my son and two younger brothers were in the private room at the time. If it had been anyone else, they would have been expelled long ago."

Kangxi's face darkened upon hearing this. "Longkodo is so audacious! I will punish him severely!" He looked at Chenghu and said, "You did the right thing. You should have told me when you encountered such a thing."

Chenghu nodded. "Thank you, Father. But I believe that simply punishing Longkodo alone will not solve the fundamental problem. The phenomenon of the Eight Banners' children abusing their power and bullying others must be eradicated. Otherwise, if this continues for a long time, the order of the capital will inevitably be affected."

Kangxi pondered for a moment. "You are absolutely right. Tomorrow morning, I will publicly announce that I will rectify the Eight Banners' conduct and will not tolerate such behavior."

Cheng Hu was delighted, "Thank you, Father. This way, the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Kangxi smiled and patted Chenghu's head. "As expected of a prince I personally taught, you have the world in your heart."

Cheng Hu smiled slightly, "I am just doing what I should do as the Crown Prince. I hope that the capital can become more stable and prosperous."
