Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Kangxi frowned slightly and raised his hand. The eunuch Liang Jiugong beside him hurried forward and stood cautiously with his head bowed. Kangxi cleared his throat and asked, "Liang Jiugong, what time is it now?"

Liang Jiugong bowed with great respect and said, "Your Majesty, it is already the hour of You." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

The consultant walked in carrying a tray with a green card on it and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, may I turn over the card today?"

Kangxi glanced at the green tiles on the tray, pondered for a moment, and then reached out to pick up one of them. Seeing this, the consultant was secretly delighted, but his face remained calm, and he lowered his head to wait for Kangxi's order.

Kangxi took a look and put it back: "I won't look it up anymore. I'm going to the Queen's Palace today." The consultant slowly carried the exquisite tray and retreated quietly and steadily.

Outside the door, Zhao Chang leaned slightly aside and whispered in a low voice, "Why bother? Your Highness rarely looks at those cards these days. Take the past few days, for example. For half a month before last, he was almost always at the Empress's palace. That was quite frequent. And for the next half month, it was just the other Empresses taking turns being favored. Occasionally, the Empress would occupy the palace for most of the month. Things in the palace are so unpredictable and unpredictable."

Consultant: "This is the rule. Do you think I want to come?"

Kangxi slowly closed the memorial in his hand, then straightened up, a thoughtful look in his eyes. He stretched his stiff muscles slightly and ordered, "Liang Jiugong, proceed to Kunning Palace." With that, he left the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing this, Liang Jiugong hurriedly followed.

Kunning Palace

Qingyao, dressed in a light blue Manchu dress, held sharp scissors in her hand, her eyes focused and conscientious as she trimmed the carefully cultivated potted plants in the yard. Every flower and every leaf seemed to be carved into ever more exquisite beauty under her hands.

Kangxi strode into the Kunning Palace with great speed. His dragon robe shone majestically in the sunlight, and his steps were steady and powerful, as if carrying an irresistible aura. When he called out "Qingqing," his voice revealed a hint of doting and tenderness.

Qingyao was concentrating on trimming a potted plant when she heard a familiar voice. She paused for a moment with her scissors. Then, she slowly put them down, stood up, and whispered, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Kangxi looked at Qingyao in front of him. He walked forward, gently helped Qingyao up, and said, "My dear, there is no outsider here, so there is no need to be so polite."

Qingyao tilted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation as she softly asked, "My dear husband, have you finished your work for the day?" Her slender, scallion-like fingers gently rested on his sleeve, and without hesitation, she took his arm, as if the action came naturally. The two of them walked together into the main hall. It was as if the entire world existed just for the two of them. Qingyao leaned against him, her lips curled slightly, her heart filled with happiness and peace. He looked at her tenderly, his eyes filled with love, as if he wanted to melt her in his gaze.

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible glint of relief flashing across them. He spoke slowly, "I've finally managed to deal with most of the affairs these past few days, and now I've finally finished the important matter on my mind. Chenghu, he's been exceptionally intelligent and kind-hearted since childhood. The date for his succession has long been set, and it will be next year. He will then shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing the country. As for us, it's time to put aside those complicated government affairs and move to Changchun Garden to enjoy a peaceful life."

Qingyao: "It's up to you, my husband. I will follow your arrangements in everything."

Kangxi: "My dear, remember to take away everything you like."
