Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Chapter 305

Kangxi raised his hand slightly, and gently pulled Qingyao into his arms, holding her tightly. His broad, warm chest seemed to have become Qingyao's most reassuring harbor. Kangxi's face was full of doting and helplessness, and he said softly, "Okay, okay, I won't leave. I will stay here with you. Is that okay?" After saying that, he gently patted Qingyao's back, as if soothing a frightened deer, and continued to coax her with soft words.

Qingyao said softly: "I can handle it myself. If you have important matters to attend to, you can go and deal with them without worry. You don't have to stay and accompany me. I know that you are very busy, so please don't delay your work because of me." After that, she nodded slightly, and a hint of gentleness and consideration appeared in her beautiful eyes.

After hearing Qingyao's words, Kangxi said: "I have already abdicated. What is important? Accompanying you is the most important thing."

Qingyao was deeply moved by Kangxi's words, but she still gently nudged him, saying coquettishly, "Even though Your Highness has abdicated, his prestige remains. We might even need Your Highness's guidance on matters of state." Kangxi shook his head, his eyes firm, "Now that Chenghu has ascended the throne, I only wish to watch over you and enjoy these peaceful days."

At that moment, a commotion erupted outside. It was Chenghu, accompanied by the Empress and two children, who had come to pay their respects. Chenghu stood respectfully outside the doorway, his voice clear and clear: "Your son, along with my wife and children, pays respects to the Emperor and Empress." Kangxi straightened his clothes and took Qingyao to sit with him. After entering, Chenghu and Yiermu both bowed and paid their respects.

Kangxi smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to stand. Chenghu stood up and looked at Qingyao, his eyes full of respect and admiration. "How is your health these days, mother?" Qingyao smiled and nodded. "I am fine, but you, with your hard work and dedication to court affairs, should also take care of your health." Yiermu also stepped forward and said obediently, "Your daughter-in-law will remember your mother's teachings."

The two little guys stared around with their big, round eyes, full of curiosity. Then, their eyes lit up, and they sprang forward like the wind, their legs moving like a gust of wind. Seeing this, the other little guy, not wanting to be outdone, followed closely in his footsteps.

In the blink of an eye, the two little guys were in front of Kangxi. Without hesitation, they opened their arms and threw themselves into Kangxi's arms, calling out in their sweet voices, "Mafa~" Their voices were so clear and melodious that they seemed to penetrate one's soul.

Kangxi smiled as he gently stretched out his arms, embracing the two adorable little ones. He gazed down at their delicate faces, his eyes filled with doting and affection, and whispered, "Tiantian, and An'an, you're my sweethearts! You two are such good little ones!" He couldn't help but give their chubby cheeks a gentle pinch, making the two little ones giggle.

At this moment, Chenghu spoke up, "Father, I've come here today not only to pay my respects, but also to discuss something." Kangxi raised his eyes, motioning for him to continue. Chenghu glanced at the people around him and said slowly, "The court is now considering implementing new policies, and I'd like to hear about Father's experience in governing the country." Kangxi pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Qingyao spoke first, "It's a rare day for the whole family to be together. How about we not discuss state affairs and just enjoy the joys of family life?" Kangxi laughed heartily, saying, "You're right, Qingqing."

The conversation shifted to children's anecdotes. Yiermu recounted the mischievous actions of the two little ones, drawing laughter from the crowd. Amidst the laughter, a palace maid brought in snacks. The sweet pastries exuded an alluring aroma, and the two little ones reached out for them. Kangxi smiled, breaking off small pieces and feeding them.

As the sky darkened, Chenghu and his wife, along with their children, said their last goodbyes. Kangxi and Qingyao stood at the door to see them off. After they had departed, Kangxi took Qingyao's hand and returned to the house. "Days like this are truly wonderful." Qingyao leaned against Kangxi's shoulder and softly said, "May the years remain peaceful and tranquil like this." Moonlight streamed down, illuminating the two figures as they walked together.
