Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Yinzhen: "I'm afraid my brother won't like me if he gets a sister-in-law."

Cheng Hu: "No, you and Bao Cheng are both my precious brothers. How could I not like you? Relax, when I move to the Prince's Mansion, you and Bao Cheng are welcome to go there."

After hearing this, Yinzhen's worries instantly disappeared and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, brother! I will definitely visit you often." He said excitedly.

Chenghu smiled and patted Yinzhen's shoulder, showing his affection: "We are all brothers, there is no need to be so polite. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."

Yinzhen nodded heavily, his eyes filled with gratitude towards Chenghu: "Brother, I understand. Brother is so good to me."

Chenghu laughed and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed, Yuanyuan."

Yinzhen hugged his eldest brother's neck and said: "Brother, I want to live with you."

Chenghu smiled helplessly, touched Yinzhen's head and said, "Good boy, Xiaowu has grown up and needs to learn to sleep by himself."

Yinzhen, however, hugged Chenghu tightly and refused to let go, saying coquettishly, "No, I want to sleep with my brother."

Chenghu's heart softened. After all, he was still a child, so he agreed: "Okay, then sleep with Xiaowu for another night." The two walked to the bed together, and Yinzhen happily jumped on the bed and got under the covers. Chenghu sat by the bed, gently patting Yinzhen's back, coaxing him to sleep like he did when he was a child. Not long after, Yinzhen fell asleep with a satisfied smile on his face. Chenghu looked at Yinzhen sleeping soundly, his heart filled with love. He secretly vowed to protect this lovely brother.

At this moment, the door to the inner hall was pushed open and a little head poked in: "Brother, didn't you agree that you would accompany me tonight?"

Chenghu: "Baocheng, how old are you? Do you still need your brother to sleep with you?" he said helplessly.

Yinreng: "No matter how old I am, I am still your baby. As your younger brother, of course I need you to sleep with me. You can't just sleep with Xiaowu and not with me."

Cheng Hu: "Okay, brother, sleep with Bao Cheng. Come in and sleep with me in my bedroom."

Yinreng pushed open the door, entered the inner hall, closed the door, ran quickly to the bed, kicked off his shoes, got on the bed and lay down.

Chenghu also lay down, hugged Yinzhen to himself, and then closed his eyes.

It was late at night and the entire bedroom was quiet, with only the occasional sound of light breathing.

In his sleep, Yinzhen seemed to have a beautiful dream, and his face was filled with a happy smile.

Chenghu, on the other hand, quietly guarded his younger brother, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The next morning, the sun shines on the bed through the window.

Yinzhen slowly opened his eyes and saw Chenghu beside him, his heart filled with warmth.

He gently pushed Chenghu, "Brother, get up."

Chenghu was awakened by Yinzhen. He rubbed his eyes, then smiled and said to Yinzhen, "Good morning, Xiaowu."

Yinzhen sat up and saw his third brother sleeping at the end of the bed and he threw himself on him: "Third brother, get up."

Then, the three brothers got up together and started a new day.

Kunning Palace

Kangxi: "Qingqing? Call her softly.

Qingyao stood up when she heard the voice: "Husband? Why are you here?"

Kangxi: "There aren't many memorials today, so I'll have Liang Jiugong deliver them to Yuqing Palace and have Chenghu handle them. I'll stay with you for a while."

Qingyao: "My husband thinks that his son can help you, so it's a good time to take a rest." She helped him sit on the Arhat couch and personally made tea for him.

Kangxi: "You have worked so hard for me for so many years, it is time for me to take a break."

Qingyao handed over the teacup and chuckled, saying, "I just heard that Chenghu slept with Baocheng and Yuanyuan last night."

Kangxi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "These three children have a good relationship," he said. He paused, then continued, "When I was their age, I was already ruling the country myself. Now that they are growing up, it's time to cultivate their independence."

Qingyao nodded, "I agree with my husband. But the children are still young, so it's okay for them to sleep together occasionally."

Kangxi gently stroked Qingyao's hand and said with emotion, "Time flies. In the blink of an eye, they have all grown up. I hope that they can all become outstanding talents in the future and serve the Qing Dynasty."

Qingyao: "Baocheng and Yuanyuan were taught by Chenghu himself, so they must be good."

Kangxi nodded slightly in agreement. He gazed out the window and said thoughtfully, "As Crown Prince, Chenghu has a heavy responsibility. I hope he can shoulder this responsibility and lead his brothers in their growth."

Qingyao walked up behind Kangxi, gently massaged his shoulders, and said softly, "I believe Chenghu will not disappoint His Majesty. He is intelligent and kind, and will definitely become an outstanding prince."

Kangxi turned around, shook Qingyao's hand, and smiled, "I believe him, too. However, educating my younger brothers is not only Chenghu's responsibility, but also our responsibility as parents. We must provide them with sufficient care and guidance so that they can thrive."

Qingyao nodded and replied, "I understand." The couple smiled at each other, their eyes filled with eager expectations for their children.

At this time, the chief eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests an audience."

Kangxi smiled and said, "It seems Chenghu has come to pay his respects to me. Let him in."

Soon, Chenghu entered the hall and bowed to Kangxi and Qingyao. After some pleasantries, Kangxi asked Chenghu for his views on state affairs. Chenghu presented his ideas clearly and logically, much to Kangxi's satisfaction. Kangxi nodded in praise, "As expected of my son, you have such unique insights."

Cheng Hu responded modestly, "Thank you for your praise, Father. I still have much to learn."

Kangxi felt very relieved as he looked at Chenghu who was becoming more mature and steady.

Qingyao looked at her son, who looked more and more like her husband. "My son has grown up, but the soft and sticky little boy he was when he was little seems like just yesterday."

Kangxi: "My dear, have you chosen a princess for Chenghu?"

Qingyao whispered, "If my husband hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it. Yesterday, Chenghu came to Kunning Palace and mentioned that Fucha was a very suitable choice for his first wife."

Kangxi frowned slightly: "Fucha? Ma Qi's daughter?"

Qingyao responded, "She must be Ma Qi's daughter. I've carefully examined the portrait and see that she is only one year younger than Chenghu."

Kangxi nodded and said: "Fucha and Chenghu are a match made in heaven. I will issue an imperial decree to grant their marriage shortly."

Qingyao smiled sweetly and whispered softly, "Let me thank you on behalf of Chenghu, my husband."

Kangxi whispered, "My dear, as our eldest daughter, should Chunxi marry first?"

Qingyao: "Indeed, Chunxi is our eldest daughter, so naturally she should marry first. However, I cannot bear to let her go to the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia alone."

Kangxi: "Chunxi's husband was chosen by the Empress Dowager. There's nothing I can do about it since Bandi is the grandson of a Mongolian prince."

Qingyao: "I just can't bear to leave Chunxi."

Kangxi: "From now on, we will go to the frontier every year and we will see him sooner or later."
