Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Qingyao pursed her lips and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, my husband. After we arrive in Zhili, we need to settle everything first before we can go out and play with peace of mind." There was a hint of tenderness on her beautiful face.

Hearing this, Kangxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a hint of doting flashed in his eyes, and he asked softly: "Qingqing, what do you think, is it more convenient for us to live in the inn, or is it more comfortable to rent a small courtyard with a private entrance?" As he spoke, he reached out and gently held Qingyao's small hand.

Qingyao turned her head slightly to look at Kangxi and said softly, "I think we should first find an inn in Zhili to rest for a while. After we get to the south of the Yangtze River, it won't be too late to rent a quiet courtyard to settle down." There was a hint of expectation and longing in her clear eyes.

Kangxi smiled and nodded, looking at Qingyao lovingly, and replied softly: "Everything is up to you, my dear. As long as it is what you say, your husband will obey. You can live wherever you want." His voice was low and magnetic, as if it could make people intoxicated.

As they chatted, the carriage slowly entered Zhili. The streets were bustling with activity. Kangxi lifted the curtain to look out, then smiled and said to Qingyao, "Zhili is truly prosperous. I guess this journey won't be boring." Qingyao also poked her head out, looking around curiously.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of an inn called "Yue Lai Inn." Kangxi was the first to get out, then offered Qingyao his hand to help her down. Seeing their elegant attire, the innkeeper greeted them with a smile, "Gentlemen, would you like to stay in our inn? We have a nice, clean room upstairs." Kangxi nodded and booked the best room.

That evening, after dinner, Qingyao sat on the edge of the bed, combing her hair. Kangxi walked in, hugged her from behind, and whispered, "You've been traveling so hard today. Go to bed early."

Qingyao leaned in his arms and whispered, "My husband, please accompany me to the streets tomorrow. I heard that Zhili has many interesting gadgets."

Kangxi kissed the top of her head and said, "Of course. Not to mention looking at little toys, even if it's the stars in the sky, your husband will pick them for you." After that, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms, ready to welcome their new life in Zhili.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the house. Qingyao woke early and carefully dressed. Kangxi also accompanied her out.

The market was bustling with people, and the stalls were overflowing with a dazzling array of goods. Qingyao spotted a stall selling sugar paintings, and her eyes lit up. Seeing this, Kangxi immediately bought an exquisite sugar painting of a butterfly and handed it to Qingyao.

As they were walking, they encountered a group of soldiers rushing by, dispersing the crowd. Qingyao accidentally bumped into a noblewoman. The noblewoman immediately glared at him and started cursing. Kangxi hurriedly protected Qingyao and apologized, but the noblewoman refused to give in and insisted that Qingyao kneel down and admit her fault.

At that moment, an official-looking man arrived. It turned out to be the prefect of Zhili. He recognized Kangxi and hurriedly saluted. The noblewoman was horrified and ran away in disgrace.

Kangxi comforted the frightened Qingyao and continued shopping with her. Qingyao's mood improved after she bought some small items she liked.

At night, the two returned to the inn. Qingyao played with the little toys she had bought that day and said to Kangxi, "Although there were some twists and turns today, everything has become fun with my husband by my side." Kangxi hugged Qingyao and said softly, "As long as you are happy, that's all."

Qingyao nodded slightly, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "Well... I am very happy indeed. After all, having my husband by my side makes me very happy! As long as I think that I can be with my husband all the time, my heart will of course be at ease." Her beautiful eyes were shining with happiness, as dazzling as the bright stars in the night sky.

Kangxi looked at Qingyao beside him tenderly and said softly, "Qingqing, it's late at night. Let's go to bed and rest early." After that, he raised his hand and pulled gently. The soft brocade quilt instantly covered them both tightly.

Qingyao glanced at Kangxi coquettishly, her cheeks flushed red. She whispered nervously, "Husband, you can't do this. What if someone hears us?" As she spoke, she stretched out her fair and tender little hands, hurriedly trying to grab Kangxi's broad and powerful hands.

Kangxi smiled slightly, with a cunning glint in his eyes. He held Qingyao's small hand tightly, patted it gently as if to comfort her, and said softly: "Don't worry, my dear, it's very secluded here and no one will hear it. However, next time we have a chance, let's rent a small courtyard with its own door and house. It will be more convenient that way." After that, he gently hugged Qingyao in his arms.
