Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Chapter 304

Qingyao gently lifted her delicate hand and picked up a delicate brush. Then, carefully, she lightly placed a stroke on the snow-white paper, as if the tip of the brush contained endless wisdom and thought. She pursed her lips slightly, then said, "My husband, regarding the candidates for Qi'er and Xiang'er's wives, I have already made my choices. I wonder if Concubine Yi, Concubine Wen, Concubine Ding, and Concubine Hui have also chosen their daughters-in-law?" Then, Qingyao raised her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on the man before her, a hint of anticipation in her eyes, as if hoping for some response or advice from him.

Kangxi frowned slightly, with a trace of concern and worry in his eyes. He said slowly: "Why don't we stop here today? I see it's getting late. We will continue to discuss this matter tomorrow. You still need to take good care of your body. This injury is not light. You must heal it well and don't leave any chronic illness." After that, he sighed softly, as if he was quite worried about the injury of the person in front of him.

After hearing Kangxi's words, Qingyao felt a surge of warmth in her heart and said, "Thank you for your concern, my husband. I will definitely take good care of myself."

Kangxi smiled at the person before him, waved his hand gently, and said, "My dear, why do you say that? We are husband and wife, so why should we thank each other? Let's end the selection process for now. We will discuss the rest tomorrow." His eyes were gentle and profound, as if they could see through everything, yet also made people feel extremely reassured. After saying this, Kangxi slowly stood up, his posture as straight as a pine tree, revealing the demeanor of an emperor.

Qingyao nodded slightly and said softly, "I will obey my husband's instructions in everything." She turned to look at Ling Ma, who was standing beside her and said, "Ling Ma, please make proper arrangements for these concubines to rest. Don't let them suffer any injustice, and ensure that order is maintained in the harem."

Nanny Ling bowed respectfully and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will see to it." Then she stepped back to make arrangements.

Seeing Kangxi turning around and about to leave, Qingyao became anxious and hurriedly called out again: "My husband, please stay! I have something to discuss with you. Regarding our Qi'er's marriage, I have already found a candidate for his wife through the introduction of a concubine. She is a woman from the Niuhuru family. I wonder what my husband thinks about this?" After saying that, Qingyao looked at Kangxi with her beautiful eyes full of expectation, waiting for his response.

Kangxi paused, turned around, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "The Niuhulu clan is indeed a prominent family, with many talented and capable sons. However, this marriage not only concerns Qi'er's personal happiness, but also involves the interests of many parties."

Qingyao hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "I understand, but I've carefully examined this young lady from the Niuhulu family. She's well-educated, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and has a gentle and docile temperament. She's a perfect match for Qi'er. Furthermore, if Qi'er marries her, she'll also win over the Niuhulu clan at court."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little moved. "Well, what you said does make some sense. But this matter still needs to be carefully considered. After all, there are other beautiful women who have not yet been fully considered. However, since you think so highly of this girl from the Niuhulu family, I will give her serious consideration."

A hint of joy appeared on Qingyao's face, and she bowed gracefully, "Thank you, my husband, for listening to me."

Kangxi helped her up and said with a smile, "You are so concerned about Qi'er, how could I ignore you completely? Tomorrow I will look for other suitable candidates. If there is really no one better, this girl from the Niuhulu family will be the best choice."

Qingyao looked at the man in front of her coquettishly, and opened her red lips slightly: "My husband, won't you stay with me today?" After that, she stretched out her slender jade hand and gently pulled the other's sleeve, as if she was afraid that if she let go, Kangxi would leave her.

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on Qingyao in front of him, and said softly: "Qingqing, you are still recuperating now. I am afraid that I will disturb your rest and hurt your body." His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of concern and hesitation.

A hint of sadness flashed across Qingyao's pretty face, but she suppressed her reluctance and said softly, "My husband, if you want to go, then go. I will take good care of myself and Xuan'er and the others, and live with them." As she spoke, she slowly loosened her jade hand that had been tightly holding his sleeve, as if that hand weighed a thousand pounds, and it took great courage to loosen it even a little.
