Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Kangxi looked at Qingyao in front of him with tenderness and coaxed her in a soft voice: "Don't be angry, my dear. When you were pregnant before, we were in the palace. The environment was stable at that time, and the imperial doctors took good care of you. Naturally, you didn't need to take medicine to recuperate. But the situation is different now. This time I found out that you were pregnant while traveling. The conditions outside are not as good as those in the palace. There are many inconveniences, so you need to take medicine to be safe." As he spoke, he gently held Qingyao's hand, his eyes full of concern and love.

Qingyao frowned and muttered, "Hmph! It's not you who wants to drink this bitter medicine, so I don't want to drink it at all!" As she spoke, she pushed the bowl of black, smelly medicine aside, as if she would be suffocated by it if she got any closer.

Yinzhen's eyes widened, and he looked at his father in surprise. His mouth slightly opened as he stammered, "Uh... Mother... She's actually pregnant? This... This is so sudden! I didn't even notice it before."

Kangxi smiled helplessly, turned to Yinzhen, and said, "Your mother got pregnant unexpectedly while she was away, and she didn't even know it." He then addressed Qingyao, "My dear, if you don't take the medicine, you'll harm yourself. I promise, after you take it, I'll have the kitchen prepare plenty of your favorite snacks to make up for the bitterness." Qingyao's eyes lit up at this, but she still hesitated as she looked at the bowl of medicine. Then, a maidservant named Chunyu cleverly suggested, "Your Majesty, you can hold a piece of candied fruit in your mouth after taking the medicine to make it less bitter." Kangxi quickly ordered the best candied fruit for her. Yinzhen also advised, "Mother, I also hope for the safe birth of a younger brother or sister." Qingyao finally relented, took the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp, looking as brave as if she were charging into battle. As soon as she set down the bowl, Kangxi personally fed her the candied fruit. Qingyao chewed the candied fruit, a look of satisfaction on her face. Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, while Kangxi gently stroked Qingyao's belly, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he had already seen the scene of the baby being born.

Yinzhen said to Qingyao respectfully, "Mother, you are pregnant now and need to rest and recuperate. I will take my wife with me to take my leave first, so as not to disturb you during your pregnancy." After saying this, he bowed slightly, then turned and took my wife's hand, saying to her softly, "Let's go." My wife also nodded slightly, bowed to Qingyao, and then slowly left with Yinzhen. As Yinzhen walked, he did not forget to look back in the direction of his mother, his eyes showing concern. After they walked a distance, Yinzhen felt a little relieved and walked side by side with his wife, talking in low voices as they walked towards the mansion.

Qingyao looked at the other person with anger on her face and said in a soft voice, "Our son is right here, why did you say I was pregnant? What if the child hears it?" As she spoke, she gently patted the other person's arm, with a look of blame and a little shyness in her eyes.

Kangxi gazed at Qingyao tenderly and said softly, "My dear, what's so difficult about telling you about this? Besides, this child will be Xiaowu's younger brother in the future!" As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked Qingyao's still flat abdomen, as if he could feel the beating of life in it.
