Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Yiermu: "My dear husband, it's still early, why don't you take back the gifts my third brother and his family gave us? If my two younger brothers and sisters have children in the future, I will know what gifts to return."

Cheng Hu said loudly: "Okay, I'll ask someone to get it from the study. Come on..."

He Zhu: "Prince."

Cheng Hu: "He Zhu, go to my study and get the two brocade boxes given by your Third and Fifth Masters."

Yiermu: "My dear, my third brother and his family wouldn't give me any expensive gifts, would they?"

Cheng Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either, but these two little darlings are their nephews and nieces, so the gifts must have been carefully selected."

Soon, He Zhu brought over two brocade boxes. Cheng Hu took them and opened the box given by Yinreng first. Inside was a pair of jade ruyi.

Yiermu couldn't help but sigh: "This jade ruyi is crystal clear and it's obviously worth a lot of money. Third brother is really thoughtful."

Chenghu smiled and nodded, then opened Yinzhen's box. Inside was a book and a pair of golden locks. The title of the book was "The Analects of Confucius".

Yi Ermu asked in confusion, "Why did Fifth Brother give me a book?"

Cheng Hu flipped through a few pages and said with a smile, "This is the Song Dynasty edition I've always wanted. It seems Xiao Wu has put a lot of thought into this book."

Yiermu smiled and said, "Fifth brother is really good to you as his elder brother. He not only gave the children full-month gifts but also gave you what you wanted." The couple smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectations for the future.

Chenghu carefully set the Analects aside and took up the golden lock to examine it carefully. The lock was intricately carved with a dragon on one side and a phoenix on the other, symbolizing the auspiciousness of the dragon and the phoenix.

Yiermu came forward and exclaimed, "This golden locket is so beautiful! Fifth brother has really good taste."

Chenghu smiled and nodded, placing the golden lock back into the brocade box. He turned to look at Yiermu, his eyes full of love, and said softly, "Our child will definitely grow up safe and healthy."

Yiermu responded gently: "Well, I hope they can be as good as you and my third and fifth brothers in the future."

Cheng Hu: "By the way, Yiermu, there is an iron-eating beast in my mother's palace. I'll take you to see it next time I go to the palace."

Yiermu: "Iron-eating beast? Isn't this animal from Sichuan? How come it's in my mother's palace?"

Cheng Hu: "I heard from my mother that it was my father who told me after she gave birth to me. You also know that I am the legitimate son, so my father gave my mother a reward. My mother likes to eat iron beasts, so she told my father, and my father sent someone to Sichuan to bring it back."

Yiermu asked curiously, "My dear, have you seen the iron-eating beast?"

Cheng Hu: "I have seen it. I once went to see it with my eldest sister and my younger siblings. My father found out and scolded me."

Yiermu: "You were also scolded by Ama? Why?"

Cheng Hu: "Because it was winter when we went to see them, my mother was afraid that the snow would freeze the iron-eating beasts, so she had them locked up in the uninhabited palace of Kunning Palace. We were in close contact with them, and my father was afraid that the iron-eating beasts would hurt us, so he scolded us."

Yiermu: "My husband, you are so brave! That's an iron-eating beast, and you dare to enter the palace to see it."

Cheng Hu: "I've never seen an iron-eating beast before, so I was curious. That's why my eldest sister and I took my younger brothers and sisters to see it."

Yiermu looked longingly and said, "I really want to see the iron-eating beast as soon as possible." Chenghu chuckled and took Yiermu's hand and said, "Next time I enter the palace, I will take you to see it." Yiermu nodded, his heart full of anticipation.

A few days later, Yiermu entered the palace with Chenghu. After paying respects to the queen, Chenghu took some fruit and brought Yiermu to the palace where the iron-eating beast was imprisoned.

Two guards stood at the palace gate. They saluted and greeted Chenghu. Chenghu asked them to open the door and took Yiermu into the palace.

The hall was dimly lit, and Yiermu could vaguely see several black figures. They were huge and looked very cute. Yiermu couldn't help but exclaim, "What cute iron-eating beasts!"

Chenghu looked at Yiermu's happy face and his mood became cheerful. He gently handed the fruit to the iron-eating beast and introduced its habits to Yiermu.

At this time, a ferruginous beast stretched out its claws, trying to grab the fruit in Chenghu's hand. Chenghu was startled by it, but Yiermu laughed and said, "It seems that it likes you very much."
