Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Emperor Kangxi was delighted and praised him highly: "My dear, Xiaowu has been studying diligently recently and has made considerable progress. I am very pleased."

Qingyao: "That's good. My two brothers are quite good at riding and shooting. They're perfect for teaching Xiaowu."

Kangxi smiled and nodded in agreement. He continued, "Not only that, Xiaowu has also made progress in his academic performance.

Qingyao smiled and responded, "This is all thanks to His Majesty's careful teaching."

Kangxi laughed heartily, patted Qingyao on the shoulder, and said, "I only give you some pointers occasionally, but it's mainly Xiaowu's own hard work that counts."

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

Kangxi gently stroked Qingyao's hand and said with emotion: "It is my great fortune to have you by my side." After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Kangxi and his companions stayed outside the Great Wall for a month before returning to Beijing.

Kunning Palace

Qingyao returned to her bedroom and lay down on the couch: "It's better to be in the palace. I don't have to ride in a carriage all the time."

"Your Majesty, you must be tired. Let me massage your legs." Chunyu, the personal maid, said as she walked to the couch and gently massaged Qingyao's legs.

Qingyao closed her eyes slightly, enjoying Chunyu's service. "Chunyu, although the journey was bumpy, it was worth it."

Chunyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. The scenery outside the Great Wall is indeed different from that in the palace. I heard there are many delicious foods there."

Qingyao raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Yes, it is true. Next time I have the chance, I must try it again. By the way, Chunyu, you have been out of the palace for so long, has nothing happened in the palace?"

Chunyu replied: "Don't worry, your Majesty, everything is fine. But there seems to be some small movements in Xianfu Palace..."

Qingyao: "Just watch her for any little moves, and be careful not to let her get close to the other princes."

A sly glint flashed in Qingyao's eyes. "Since she likes to mess around, let's play along. Send someone to secretly observe the movements in Xianfu Palace, and report any abnormalities to me immediately."

Chunyu took the order and went down to make the arrangements. Qingyao knew that fighting was inevitable in the harem. She had to remain vigilant at all times to protect herself and her children.

Meanwhile, in Xianfu Palace, the concubine was plotting a bigger conspiracy...

Kangxi and Liang Jiugong walked into the Kunning Palace, their steps as fast as the wind, and went straight to the bedroom. They called softly, "My dear?" His words were full of eagerness and tenderness.

Qingyao heard that familiar voice softly in her ears. She stood up instantly and walked gracefully to greet him. A gentle smile spread across her lips: "Husband, why are you here?"

Kangxi gently held her hand and said softly, "I came to see you. It's been a bumpy journey. Are you feeling well?"

Qingyao smiled gently and said, "I am fine, my husband, please don't worry. Just be at ease."

Kangxi: "That's good. If you get tired, how can I take you on tour next time?"

Qingyao: "By the way, my husband, how are we going to hold the Golden Award Ceremony this year?"

Kangxi: "It would be better if it were the same as in previous years."

Qingyao spoke softly, her concern evident in her words: "Husband, did you change the dressings on the injuries you sustained a few days ago on time?"

Kangxi: "Don't worry, I'll change the medicine on time. If you're worried, you can check it yourself later."

Qingyao: "By the way, October is not only the Golden Award Ceremony, but also Xiaowu and Nuonuo's birthdays."

Kangxi nodded, "Of course I won't forget." He looked at Qingyao, his eyes full of affection, "What do you think of Xiaowu and Nuonuo's birthdays?"

Qingyao smiled slightly, "I thought we could just hold a simple birthday party. Invite some relatives and friends to have a great time together."

Kangxi held Qingyao's hand and said, "Very good. I'll do as you wish. However, in addition to awarding the Golden Festival, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the arrangements for the birthday banquet."

Qingyao looked at Kangxi tenderly, "This is what I should do. As long as my husband and children are happy, I will be satisfied."

Kangxi was moved and embraced Qingyao in his arms, "It's great to have you by my side."

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly, shining into the palace, bringing warmth.
