Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

The next morning, Kunning Palace

Qingyao nuzzled into his arms and opened her eyes: "Husband, it's time to go to the morning court."

Kangxi gently stroked her cheek, his voice low and gentle: "I'm going to the morning court, my dear, you can sleep a little longer, there's no need to get up in a hurry. You were exhausted last night, so get a good rest." His eyes were full of concern and doting, as if he was reluctant to leave her for a moment.

Qingyao: "Today is the first day of the new year. I have to go with the sisters in the harem to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. How can I be lazy?"

Kangxi: "You are right, my dear. Let's get up and have lunch before taking a short rest."

Qingyao: "By the way, my husband, remember to come to Kunning Palace for lunch at noon. Today is the first day of the new year, and the daughters-in-law will all come to the palace to pay their respects. It's a good opportunity for you and your sons to come together, so that we can get together as a family." She turned her head slightly to look at Kangxi, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

Kangxi nodded and kissed Qingyao lightly on the forehead, "Okay, I'll come over after the court session." After that, he got up, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to court.

Qingyao also rose, and the palace maids helped her wash and dress. She chose a bright yellow Manchu dress with intricate embroidery, appearing dignified, and then accompanied her maid to the Cining Palace. Upon arriving at the Cining Palace, Qingyao first paid her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, then chatted with the other concubines. Soon after, the five wives, led by the Crown Princess, also arrived at the Cining Palace.

Soon, Kangxi brought the prince who was able to attend court to the Cining Palace.

Qingyao and the others stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, your servants pay their respects to you."

Kangxi brought several princes to pay their respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager said: "Everyone, get up. Xuanye, why are you here at this hour?"

Kangxi: "My grandson has specially brought Chenghu and the others to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager said: "Thank you for your kindness. Even if you are busy with government affairs, you don't have to make a special trip. Qingyao is here, so why would you need to go there in person?"

Kangxi: "The Queen is thoughtful and deserves a reward."

Qingyao stood up hurriedly: "This is what I should do. Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."

The Empress Dowager said: "Chenghu, when you have time, bring the two children into the palace for me to see."

Kangxi said: "Madam, why not wait until next year when it's warmer before letting Chenghu and his wife bring the child into the palace? It's not good to bring the child into the palace when it's cold now."

The Empress Dowager said: "That's right. I'm getting old and confused. I'll bring the baby back next year when it's warmer. There are many weddings coming up, so we should hurry up and have a baby."

Kangxi: "What the Empress Dowager said is true."

The Empress Dowager felt a little tired after sitting for a while. "I feel tired. Let's stop here today."

Qingyao hurried forward to help the Empress Dowager into the bedroom. Kangxi stood up and left immediately.

Chenghu took his own princess away and said, "Yilmu, let's leave the palace and go home."

Yiermu: "I haven't been to my mother's palace today. Today is the first day of the new year, and I should go to the palace to pay my respects to the Royal Mother Wuku, the Royal Mama, and the Royal Mother."

Cheng Hu: "Okay, let's go together."

Yiermu raised his hand and patted his arm: "Grandpa, please go with the third and fifth brothers."

Cheng Hu: “Okay” and raised his hand to help her straighten her cloak.

Yiermu smiled at him gently: "Master, go quickly, don't keep my third and fifth brothers waiting for too long."

Yinreng: "Big brother, fifth brother."

Cheng Hu: "Let's go to the Empress Dowager's palace together."

Yaliqi and Wu Xiha stepped forward, holding Yiermu's arms on the left and right: "Sister-in-law."
