Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

two days later

Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, Chenghu's high fever has finally subsided. Now we just have to wait for him to wake up."

Kangxi looked at the bruises under her eyes and said earnestly, "Qingqing, go take a nap. I will wake you up when Chenghu wakes up."

Qingyao said, "How can I sleep peacefully if I don't see him wake up with my own eyes?"

Kangxi sighed helplessly and said softly: "You..."

Qingyao gently advised: "Your Majesty, you have been guarding for three days, please take a rest first."

Kangxi said: "I am a man and I can bear it. You are a woman and you cannot endure it like this."

Qingyao reminded: "Although you are a man, you are also the emperor. The dragon's body is related to national affairs. You must take care of yourself."

Kangxi smiled gently and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I am in good health and my son will wake up soon. Then we can rest in peace."

Qingyao responded with a smile: "Since you said so, then I will naturally listen to you."

Kangxi: "If you don't listen to me, who will you listen to?"

Qingyao: "Of course I will listen to my husband."

Kangxi: "Listen to your husband and go to sleep."

Shen Shi

Chenghu couldn't help but cough lightly.

Kangxi asked softly, "Tuantuan?" His tone was full of warmth and tenderness.

Chenghu slowly opened his eyes and called softly, "Father?" His voice was hoarse.

Kangxi asked with concern: "Ama is here, child, are you finally awake?"

Chenghu, his voice was hoarse and a little apologetic: "Father, I'm sorry to have made you worry."

Kangxi interrupted in dissatisfaction: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

Cheng Hu turned his head and looked at him with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Father, where is my mother?"

Kangxi: "He fell asleep at Yuanyuan's place."

Yinreng said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, you are a big bad guy."

Chenghu turned around and saw his brother, feeling guilty. He said softly, "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry for making you worry. It's all my fault." Then, he gently held his brother in his arms and comforted him.

Yinreng hugged his brother tightly, and said with determination in his eyes: "Don't deceive people like this again, otherwise I will choose to ignore you."

Cheng Hu smiled and said, "No problem, brother promises not to lie to you, okay?"

Kangxi walked over, patted her gently, and whispered, "Son is awake." His words were full of love and warmth, as if they could melt all the coldness.

Qingyao woke up instantly, her eyes brightening as she realized her son had woken up. She was so excited that she didn't even have time to put on her shoes. She rushed to his side and hugged him tightly, "My dear son, you're finally awake."

Cheng Hu patted her back gently and said apologetically, "Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you. This is all my fault."

Qingyao asked with concern: "Would you like some water?"

Cheng Hu nodded obediently: "I want to drink water."

Kangxi walked slowly to the table and gently poured a cup of warm water. He tiptoed to the bedside, handed the cup of water to his son, and said gently, "Drink some water to moisten yourself."

Cheng Hu took the cup and said, "Thank you, Father."

Kangxi smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked his head, saying gently: "No need to thank me."

Chenghu: "Mother, I have thought of a nickname for my brother, let's call him Baocheng."

Qingyao: "Okay, whatever your nickname is, I'll call you that."

Chenghu: "From now on, my younger brother will be called Baocheng."

Kangxi asked Chenghu, "Why did you give your brother such a nickname?"

Cheng Hu: "I hope my younger brother can grow up safely and soundly. This is my hope and my blessing for him."

Kangxi comforted the two brothers and said solemnly, "Yes, you will grow up safely."

Qingyao: "Is Tuantuan hungry?"

Cheng Hu said, "My stomach is rumbling a little bit. I feel a little hungry."

Qingyao said softly, "Son, mother will get you some food right away." She put on her embroidered shoes and left the room to get food.

Kangxi: "Chenghu, Father has something to ask you. Please think carefully before answering. Don't rush."

Cheng Hu: "Father, it's just what you said."

Kangxi asked: "If you were appointed Crown Prince by your father, would you be confident that you could handle this important task?"

Cheng Hu pondered for a moment and answered firmly: "Yes, I have confidence."

Kangxi looked at Chenghu and said solemnly, "Chenghu, becoming the crown prince means more responsibilities and duties. You need to put in more effort than your brothers and sisters to learn and hone your skills. Father has high hopes for you and believes that you will become a wise ruler in the future and treat your brothers well."

Chenghu said to Kangxi firmly: "Father, please believe me, I am confident that I can be qualified for the position of crown prince, and I will treat my younger brothers and sisters well." His eyes were full of determination and seriousness.

Kangxi said: "You must not neglect your studies and calligraphy. You must also learn the art of governing a country, the art of controlling subordinates, and the art of riding, archery, and martial arts. Father will teach you the art of governing a country and the art of controlling subordinates personally, and I will find the best master to teach you the art of riding, archery, and martial arts."

"Yes, I will do my best and live up to your expectations." Cheng Hu promised solemnly.

Kangxi praised him and said, "He is truly a good son of Father Ma."

Qingyao carefully carried a bowl of hot porridge and a small, exquisite bun back to the room and gently placed them aside. Then, she picked up the bowl of porridge, gently sat by the bed, and fed her son spoonful by spoonful.

Chenghu ate it obediently and let his brother's little hand hold his.

Kangxi said: "We just need to wait until they recover from the pox and then go back."

Qingyao said to Tuantuan and Baocheng seriously, "Remember, once you have a pimple on your body, you must never scratch it. Do you understand?"

Chenghu responded respectfully, "I understand, mother."

That night

Chenghu and several children all had acne on their bodies. The pimples were red and looked worrying.

Qingyao gently reminded: "Baocheng, don't touch it. If you scratch it, it will leave scars."

Yinreng said: "Mother, it's itchy" aggrievedly.

Qingyao gently held his little hand and soothed him softly, "Baocheng, hold on a little longer, you'll be fine in a few days."

Yinreng: "Okay" lie down obediently.

Kangxi stayed by the bed, holding Chenghu's hand tightly, and said softly, "Come, compete with Baocheng to see who is more obedient."

Chenghu: "Father, how do we compare?" He looked at Father obediently.

Kangxi: "Let's see who of you can't scratch the pox."

Cheng Hu: "Bao Cheng is young, he will definitely not be able to hold back."

Kangxi: "Let's see the final result."

The children's acne has been coming back and forth these past few days. They are all red scars. It is really heartbreaking to see them in so much trouble.

Qingyao couldn't help but sigh, "How much patience and perseverance must the children have to endure such repeated torture?"

Kangxi said softly, "Just be patient for a few more times until the scabs fall off naturally. I will have the imperial physician prepare an ointment for them. Gently apply it to the affected area. It will not only eliminate the scars but also restore the skin to its original state. I remember that I also had smallpox, but I was too late to take the medicine, so I still had some scars."

Qingyao: "Well, even with some scars, my husband's handsome face is still unmatched."

Kangxi had a helpless smile on his face and said softly, "You."

Qingyao was a little confused. She looked at him and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with me?"

Kangxi: "It's okay, you're fine."

Qingyao stared at Chenghu and Baocheng intently, and said with a smile, "You two little guys have the same eyes as your father."

Kangxi looked at the two princes intently, his eyes full of smiles, and said leisurely: "Indeed, follow my eyes."

Qingyao said with a smile: "Several of your children have inherited your phoenix eyes, Your Majesty. They are truly handsome and extraordinary."

Kangxi exclaimed in admiration: "Chenghu and Baocheng are truly unparalleled in their handsomeness!"

Qingyao sighed and said, "My dear husband, how can our two sons marry virtuous wives in the future?"

Kangxi frowned slightly and said, "We must choose a virtuous and kind wife for them so that we can stabilize the harem."

Qingyao: "Let's wait until the children grow up."

Kangxi chuckled and said firmly, "We'll discuss other matters when the children grow up."

Chenghu's little hands tightly grasped the bed sheet, trying hard to suppress the itch.

Kangxi coaxed Tuantuan softly, "Baby, go to sleep quickly. The itchy feeling will disappear in your dreams."

Chenghu closed his eyes obediently and fell into a deep sleep.

Baocheng asked softly, "Ama, can I sleep with my brother?"

Qingyao politely declined, "Oh, if you hold your brother like that, be careful not to pop the pimple."

"What if that brother runs away?" Baocheng asked anxiously.

Qingyao patted Baocheng's back gently and said softly, "Go to sleep peacefully. Father and mother will protect you and won't let you run away."

Baocheng: "Okay, please help take care of my brother, mother."

Qingyao said softly: "Then have a good rest."

Baocheng closed his eyes obediently.

Qingyao gently tidied the children's blankets, gently caressing their foreheads and whispering, "That's great! Chenghu's fever hasn't subsided, but the other children are relatively stable and have started to break out."

Kangxi said softly, "That's very good." He felt relieved.
