Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Qingyao said, "My dear, I have had a long relationship with the wives of Yinzhen and Yinzhi, and with Concubine Hui. My time with them has been much shorter. Therefore, I should first review the candidates so that I can select them. As for the wives of Chenghu and Baocheng, they are my true daughters-in-law, and I should carefully select them."

Kangxi: "It is true that our time together was short, but you are the legitimate mother of the princes and princesses, and they will be expected to honor you in the future."

Qingyao smiled calmly and said softly, "Don't bother me with the selection. Concubine Hui and the others will know how to identify a good match. As for my own daughter-in-law, I will have to carefully select her myself to find a good match."

Kangxi nodded and said, "Very good. I will do as you say. Tomorrow I will order Liang Jiugong to submit the list to you for your careful review."

Qingyao asked curiously, "Has my husband decided on the candidate for Chenghu's first wife?"

Kangxi: "The candidates are nothing more than the Niuhulu, Fucha, Guwalgiya, Wanyan and Ulanara clans. If you wish, the Hesheli and Tonggiya clans can also be considered."

Qingyao said softly, "My lord, I think it's best not to choose the daughter of the Hesheli clan. After all, I am already the only one in the palace who has received the emperor's favor. As the queen, I already feel extremely honored. If Mafa knew about this, I'm afraid she wouldn't want to cause any more trouble for my nieces."

Kangxi pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind: "Since that's the case, I will follow your advice and not consider the Hesheli family. I will look for a daughter from another clan as a good choice."

Qingyao nodded and said happily, "I will always remember how good my husband has been to me!"

Kangxi smiled faintly upon hearing this, his tone filled with intimacy and doting: "My dear, your words are indeed quite formal. You and I are husband and wife, so why should I thank you? If I bring this up again, it would seem strange."

Qingyao said softly, "My husband is absolutely right. Since we are husband and wife, there is no need to express gratitude. That would make it seem strange."

Kangxi said sternly, "Remember, if you say thank you again in the future, I will really be angry."

Qingyao gently raised her jade hand, gently embraced his arm, and whispered softly: "Husband, please don't be angry."

Kangxi gently raised his hand and caressed her slightly swollen belly, whispering, "My dear, please take care of yourself and eat well. Your health is my greatest concern, so please do not neglect it, understand?"

Qingyao opened her red lips and said softly to Kangxi, "My dear, I know what you mean. But it's the height of summer now, the heat is unbearable, and I have lost my appetite. I really don't have much of an appetite."

Kangxi leaned forward slightly and asked gently, "Is there any delicacy you've been craving? I'll immediately order the Imperial Kitchen to prepare it meticulously and personally bring it to you."

Qingyao lowered her brows and head, a hint of self-blame etched in her humility: "It's all my fault for being careless. I was so caught up in chatting with my husband that I forgot to arrange for the meal to be served in time. It's truly my fault."

Kangxi: "I don't blame you, my dear. What you and I are talking about is the real business."

Qingyao said gently, "I will give orders to prepare delicious food for my husband."

Liang Jiugong knocked gently on the door and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the servants you ordered are now fully prepared."

Kangxi said in a deep and majestic voice: "Present it."

Liang Jiugong pushed open the door quietly, holding the list in his hand, walked calmly into the inner hall, and then presented the list respectfully.

Kangxi took the list, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Liang Jiugong, quickly tell the servants to serve the meal."

Liang Jiugong: "Huh" and retreated.

Qingyao asked softly, "My dear husband, if you have already chosen a wife for Chenghu and his family, may I have the honor of meeting her?"

Kangxi: "Of course."
