Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Qingyao bowed slightly and said slowly to Kangxi who was sitting at the top of the table: "Your Majesty, I don't think it is necessary for Concubine De to apologize to me for this matter. In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to let Yinzhen apologize to Chenghu. After all, as a younger brother, how could Yinzhen take the jade pendant without his brother's consent? This behavior is really inappropriate!" After that, Qingyao raised her eyes slightly and looked at Kangxi. There seemed to be a hint of anger in her eyes, but more of it was heartache for Chenghu who was wronged.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing Qingyao's words. He thought to himself that Qingyao was different. While other concubines only cared about vying for favor, she was devoted to justice among the children.

"There's some truth in what the Empress Dowager said," Kangxi said slowly. Everyone was shocked; they hadn't expected the Emperor to actually agree with Qingyao's proposal. Concubine De's expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Yinzhen is still young and doesn't understand."

Qingyao smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine De, are mistaken. It is precisely because they are young that they need to be taught. If we don't teach them today, they will develop bad habits in the future. The Emperor is kind and will not take it to heart, but His Majesty certainly hopes that all the princes can understand reason."

Kangxi nodded and looked at Yinzhen: "Fifteenth Prince, do you admit your mistake?" Although Yinzhen was unwilling to accept it, seeing the emperor's serious face, he could only bow his head and reply: "Your son knows his mistake." Then he walked towards Chenghu to bow and apologize. Chenghu hurriedly helped Yinzhen up and said magnanimously: "Fifteenth brother, if you want something from me, just ask for it." The storm was thus settled, and Qingyao was valued by Kangxi for her fairness and intelligence.

Chenghu stood quietly, his gaze following the receding figures of Concubine De and her son until they were completely out of sight. He slowly turned his head, looked at his mother, and whispered to Qingyao, "Mother, you still love your son the most."

Qingyao gently stroked Chenghu's head and said softly, "Silly boy, you are my biological son! As your mother, I will naturally protect you wholeheartedly. No matter what happens, I will always stand by you. And, your two brothers, Baocheng and Xiaowu, will never take anything that belongs to you without your consent."

Kangxi looked at Qingyao in front of him with concern, and said softly: "Qingqing, please don't stand like this. Your health is the most important thing now! It hurts me just looking at you." As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward, gently supported the woman's arm, and carefully led her to sit on the soft couch beside him.

Qingyao leaned delicately on the soft couch. She gently raised her hand and waved towards Kangxi, who was standing beside her with a worried look on his face. She said softly, "Don't worry, my husband. I'm really fine. I've experienced childbirth five or six times!" After saying that, she winked playfully, as if trying to ease the tension and uneasiness in her husband's heart.

Cheng Hu: "Mother, you are pregnant. Is it a boy or a girl this time?"

Qingyao: "How come Nuonuo isn't enough as a sister? Another sister? Chenghu, you're already my father's wife, so does it matter whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Cheng Hu scratched his head and laughed, "Mother is right. Whether it's a brother or a sister, they are all from the same mother as me. I will protect them well."

Qingyao: "Alright, you guys go and get busy. I haven't seen you since I came back from Hangzhou, so your father asked you to come."
