Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Chapter 16: Husband and wife quarrel

Kunning Palace

Qingyao's fingers gently grasped the scissors, concentrating on cutting the bright yellow fabric. The bright color shimmered in the sunlight, like a ray of sunshine on a summer day, warm and dazzling.

Yinreng ran towards Kunning Palace happily with his cute little short legs, shouting: "Mother~"

Qingyao put down the scissors upon hearing the sound and softly instructed Chunyu: "Hurry up and pack your things. Be careful not to damage the fabric I carefully cut again."

Chun Yu responded respectfully, deftly arranging the cut fabrics and other items and putting them away neatly.

Qingyao was surprised to see her chubby son climb over the threshold and enter the main hall. She asked in confusion, "Aren't you with your brother? Why did you come to Mother's place?"

Yinreng called out "Mother~" in a coquettish manner, then ran over, hugged his mother's calves tightly, and rubbed them gently.

Qingyao asked, "Yuanyuan, have you been naughty again?"

Yinreng comforted her, "Yuanyuan is very well-behaved and obedient."

Qingyao said with disdain: "Do I believe what you say?"

Yinreng looked at his mother innocently and explained sincerely, "Mother, Yuanyuan really didn't do anything naughty."

"Chunyu, go and ask around to see if the Third Prince has caused any trouble again," Qingyao instructed.

Qianqing Palace

Kangxi stared displeased at the messy imperial desk. The memorials were scattered like the remnants of a war, in disarray. Even the imperial seal, the symbol of power, lay lonely in a corner like a forgotten gem.

Liang Jiugong rushed out anxiously and questioned the people guarding the door, asking who dared to do such a thing!

The guard said anxiously, "Eunuch Liang, it's the Third Prince! We servants really can't stop him!"

Liang Jiugong: "Where did the Third Prince go after leaving the Qianqing Palace?"

The guard said, "I sent someone to follow him for a while and found that he was heading towards Kunning Palace."

Liang Jiugong returned to the Qianqing Palace in a hurry and told Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince just made a scene in the Qianqing Palace and then left. He is now with the Empress."

Kunning Palace

Chunyu: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Third Prince caused a disturbance in the Qianqing Palace."

Qingyao slowly stood up and whispered, "Come here, change my clothes." She glanced tenderly at her chubby son beside her and stroked his head gently, "Just stay here and don't run around."

Yinreng nodded obediently to show that he understood.

Qingyao stepped lightly into the inner room, changed into a bright yellow Manchu dress, and then slowly walked out: "Chunyu, go to the kitchen to get a bowl of mung bean soup, and follow me to the Qianqing Palace."

Chunyu responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then she went to the small kitchen to pick up the food box.

Qingyao took Chunyu to the Qianqing Palace and said, "Chunyu, take the mung bean soup to the eldest princess and the others, and check if they need anything while you're there."

Chunyu: "Yes, your Majesty," she responded respectfully.

Qianqing Palace

As soon as Wei Zhu saw the visitor, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Your servant greets the Empress. May the Empress be blessed with good fortune."

Qingyao: "Get up, is the Emperor here?" She spoke softly, like a spring breeze.

Wei Zhu: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here. I will go and inform him right away. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty." He immediately opened the door and went in to inform him.

Qingyao took the food box from Chunyu and said softly, "Chunyu, go take the mung bean soup to the eldest princess and the others. Remember to put less ice in it to keep the sweet taste."

Chunyu replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then she bowed and slowly retreated.

Liang Jiugong frowned slightly and asked softly, "Why did you come in without permission?"

Wei Zhu said in a low voice: "Master, the Queen has arrived."

Liang Jiugong hurried to the emperor's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Empress is waiting outside the Qianqing Palace."

Kangxi frowned slightly and hurriedly ordered, "Quick, invite the Queen in!" His voice was filled with anxiety and majesty, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about the Queen's arrival.

Liang Jiugong responded respectfully, "As you command, I will go and invite you myself."

Later, Liang Jiugong appeared outside the Qianqing Palace and said, "Your servant pays respects to the Empress."

Qingyao raised her hand slightly, indicating that she was excused. Liang Jiugong respectfully reminded her, "Your Highness, please come in."

Qingyao entered the Qianqing Palace carrying a food box: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health and happiness."

Kangxi said with concern, "Please excuse me, my dear. It's so hot, why did you come all the way here?"

Qingyao walked lightly to the imperial table and gently placed the food box on it. She carefully opened the box, took out a bowl of mung bean soup, and respectfully offered it: "I heard that Fatty had offended me in the Qianqing Palace, so I specially prepared this bowl of mung bean soup to atone for his sin."

Kangxi: "My dear, look at what Fatty has done. It really makes me angry and amused!"

Qingyao: "Fat boy is spoiled by Chenghu to the point of being lawless and mischievous every day. It really makes people love and hate him!"
