Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Qingyao said softly, "My dear, if the candidate has been finalized, could I host a banquet for her so I can see her?"

Kangxi gently advised: "My dear, I allow you to do whatever you wish, but you must wait until the birth is complete and the baby is one month old before you can take any action. Now, just rest and recuperate, and do not worry any more."

Qingyao smiled sweetly and said softly, "My dear, I didn't mean this at the moment. I just wanted to ask for your opinion. I hope you don't mind."

Kangxi nodded in agreement: "I grant your request. You may devote yourself to the preparations for the banquet."

Qingyao whispered softly, "Husband, Tuantuan is growing up day by day and is becoming more and more like you."

Kangxi nodded slightly and said calmly: "A man like this is indeed an excellent choice for a husband."

Qingyao curled her lips slightly and sighed softly, "My once soft and adorable son is now growing more and more like my husband. Not only does he look alike, but his personality has also become more serious. Time really flies, which makes me feel very sad."

Kangxi said solemnly, "Since Chenghu has been appointed Crown Prince, he should fully demonstrate the dignity of a Crown Prince. If he only displays a soft and cute attitude, how can he be the crown prince? Chenghu is the eldest brother and should set an example for his younger brothers."

Qingyao agreed gently: "My husband is absolutely right."

Kangxi praised him, saying, "Our Chenghu has acted appropriately and is capable of shouldering this important responsibility. He is truly a qualified crown prince."

Qingyao: "That's also because my husband taught me well."

Kangxi raised his hand and gently touched her swollen belly: "My dear, has the imperial physician said when you will give birth?"

Qingyao said firmly, "It's already been said, around October."

Kangxi whispered, "October is also quite suitable. You have always been intolerant to the heat, and your confinement period will fall in November or December, when the weather is freezing cold. You will be even more reluctant to leave your bedroom."

Qingyao opened her lips softly and said, "Ever since I was a child, I have been unable to bear the heat, and I am especially afraid of the cold of winter."

Kangxi smiled and said, "If the summer heat is unbearable, we might as well go to Changchun Garden to escape the heat. It's cool there and will surely soothe your restlessness. As for Kunning Palace, I have ordered people to carefully repair a hot spring for you. In winter, when you have free time, you can enjoy the comfort and pleasure of the hot spring bath."

Qingyao said with deep affection, "My husband's care for me is truly the best in the world."

Kangxi said affectionately, "Since you are my wife, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

Qingyao: "My husband can only be good to me, not to others. You are my husband only."

Kangxi replied calmly but firmly: "I am, of course, your husband only."

Qingyao whispered softly, "Indeed, I am the only one who has the honor to call you husband."

Kangxi smiled slightly and said gently, "I promise that you will call me your husband in this life and spend the rest of your life with me."

Qingyao said softly, "My dear husband, if you are still busy with state affairs, you don't need to accompany me. The affairs of the country are more important than the love between children. I understand."

Kangxi picked up the memorial on the table and said to her gently, "My dear, you have misunderstood. What Liang Jiugong presented was not a memorial, but a list of candidates I had him prepare specifically for the position. Please carefully review it and see if there is any minister's daughter you like. Tomorrow, you can discuss it with the Empress Dowager and the others."

Qingyao snuggled in his arms and whispered softly, "Husband, can you accompany me to look at this list? I really know very little about the daughters of these important officials in the court."

Kangxi hugged her gently, flipped through the list in his hand page by page, and told her the contents in detail.

Qingyao lowered her brows and thought for a moment, then whispered softly, "My husband, in my opinion, both the Niuhulu and Fucha families are good choices, and they are worthy of the important task of being Hu's legitimate wife. As for the Irgen Gioro family, I think it would be quite suitable for Yinzhi. As for our Baocheng, I am attracted to the Guwalgiya family. She is both virtuous and will definitely complement him. As for Yinzhi, I think the Dong'e family is a good match for him. She is virtuous and a good match. As for Yuanyuan, let's go with the Ulanara family. Yuanyuan and the others are still young, so there is no need to rush into marriage. It won't be too late to discuss marriage when they are older."

Kangxi said, "I will mark the candidates you mentioned one by one for now. I will discuss this matter with the Royal Madam and others tomorrow and carefully select them."
