Madam Ling nodded: "As you wish, Madam."

Qingyao pondered for a moment and said softly, "Madam Ling, there's no need to say more about this matter. Please go to the Qianqing Palace and invite His Majesty to the Kunning Palace. I will speak to His Majesty personally. And remember, we must maintain the purity of the harem and not allow rumors to spread."

Matron Ling: "Yes, Madam."

Qingyao: "Tell the kitchen to prepare the food His Majesty likes."

Nanny Ling: "Yes, your Majesty, I will go and give the order right away." She retreated.

Qingyao sat upright on the Arhat couch, quietly flipping through the stacks of account books that were sent to her. Occasionally, she looked up, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, at the chubby little guy who was playing alone on the couch beside her.

Kangxi brought Liang Jiugong to Kunning Palace and strode into the inner hall.

Qingyao leaned over and carefully reviewed the account book line by line, fearing that she would miss even the slightest detail.

Kangxi glanced at her and asked in a gentle and concerned tone, "Qingqing, what are you looking at?"

Hearing the voice, Qingyao gently raised her head and looked at the person who came. Her eyes were full of gentle inquiry: "Husband, when did you come? I didn't even notice."

Kangxi said softly, "I have just arrived and have not sent anyone to inform you."

Qingyao opened her red lips and whispered softly, "Husband, you came at the perfect time. I have something important to tell you."

Kangxi sat on the Arhat couch and asked, "What's the important matter?"

Qingyao said softly, "Madame Ling has brought the good news. Concubine Dai Jia has given birth to a baby boy. This is a great joy in the palace. However, this joy is mixed with worry. I heard that the little prince...his legs and feet are not very healthy. This undoubtedly casts a slight cloud over this joy."

Kangxi asked slowly, "Have you sent the imperial physician to examine him?"

Qingyao: "As soon as I heard the news, I immediately asked Matron Ling to fetch a pediatric physician." She continued, "I believe the most urgent task is to seek medical attention for the young prince and ensure he receives proper treatment. Furthermore, we must also monitor the physical and mental well-being of Concubine Dai Jia and provide comfort."

Kangxi nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "You are quite right. However, this matter concerns the heir to the throne, so it must be handled with caution."

Qingyao looked at Kangxi with a determined look: "I am willing to assist my husband and protect the royal bloodline together."

Kangxi's heart warmed and he held Qingyao's hand: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"

Afterwards, he arranged for someone to take care of the little prince. At the same time, he also ordered the news to be blocked to prevent unnecessary panic and rumors.

Kangxi sighed softly and asked, "Chenghu and the others have never set foot here to visit Xiaoqi?"

Qingyao pondered for a moment, then said gently, "Perhaps it's because their schoolwork is so heavy that they don't have time to spare."

Kangxi: "I'll have them come over later."

Qingyao asked softly, "Have you made proper arrangements for your husband's tour outside the Great Wall?"

Kangxi said calmly: "Everything is ready, we can set off soon."

Hearing this, Qingyao asked with a hint of worry, "It's almost the end of July now. My husband, we're going to the frontier. How long will we have to stay?"

Kangxi said: "Don't worry, we will be back in just over a month."

Qingyao nodded slightly, a smile on her lips. "That's very good." She paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes moving. "Can I come with you on this trip to the frontier?"

Kangxi stroked her hair gently and said softly, "Of course you can. With you by my side, this trip will definitely be more pleasant."

Qingyao was delighted, her face rosy, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The couple smiled at each other, full of tenderness. At this moment, a palace maid came to report that lunch was ready. Kangxi took Qingyao's hand and walked to the dining table together. The table was filled with exquisite dishes, all of which were Kangxi's favorite flavors. Qingyao carefully picked up some dishes for Kangxi, and the two of them enjoyed the food while chatting about family matters. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm. After lunch, Kangxi left Kunning Palace first because he had some government affairs to deal with. Qingyao continued to handle harem affairs and prepare for the upcoming trip to the frontier.
