Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Kangxi: "As long as you like it."

Qingyao helped him braid his hair again and tied the fringe back on: "Husband, it's done."

Kangxi: "Will the imperial physician come to check your pulse today?"

Qingyao thought about it carefully: "Hmm~ It should be today. It's been three months."

Kangxi gently stroked her growing belly and said with a smile, "Look at this belly, it's much bigger than before."

Qingyao lowered her head, her lips curled up slightly: "Husband, it's only March now. You've seen me with my belly this size when I was pregnant with Chenghu and Baocheng."

Kangxi smiled slightly and said, "You must be hungry. Come, serve the food!"

Yinreng gently opened the door and walked into the room. His eyes fell gently on his mother's belly. "Mother, I came to see my sister. How is she doing recently?" He asked softly, his tone full of care and concern.

Kangxi: "Why don't you accompany your brother to study poetry and books, but instead come to Kunning Palace to hang out?"

Yinreng was startled, and when he came to his senses, he found his father beside him. He said in surprise, "Ah... Father, why are you in Kunning Palace?"

Kangxi: "Kunning Palace, a place I cannot set foot in?"

Qingyao asked in surprise, "Baocheng, why did you come to your mother?" She gently hugged her son in her arms, gently stroked his back and comforted him.

Yinreng: "Mother, I came to see my sister."

"Qingyao asked with a smile: "How do you know that mother is pregnant with a sister? Maybe it's a brother?"

Yinreng said playfully, "Father said that Mother might give birth to a sister this time."

Qingyao asked tentatively: "If it's a younger brother, will Baocheng still like it?"

Yinreng said: "As long as he doesn't have any intentions towards my brother, I will be happy."

Qingyao smiled and said, "My younger brother also has an older brother. He won't compete with you for it."

Yinreng asked, "Really? Has Baocheng met his brother's elder brother?"

Qingyao smiled and said, "That's right, Baocheng is the older brother of the little brother in my mother's belly."

Yinreng's little hand gently stroked his mother's belly and said with a childish smile, "Brother, I'm here! I'm your big brother!"

Qingyao asked with concern: "Baocheng, did your brother know that you came to see me?"

Yinreng: "Brother knows Baocheng is here with Mother."

Qingyao smiled and said, "That's good. If your brother didn't know, he would be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot."

Kangxi said meaningfully: "Baocheng is the apple of Chenghu's eye and he is loved and cherished."

Qingyao: "Alas, my mother is really no match for you."

Kangxi comforted him, "It's okay. With Chenghu's love, Baocheng can feel the same warmth."

Cheng Hu walked lightly to Kunning Palace and said softly, "Aunt Chunyu, could you please inform me?"

Chunyu replied, "Please wait a moment, Your Highness. I will go and inform you." She gently opened the door, walked in lightly, and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Prince has arrived."

Qingyao said softly, "Chenghu is here, let him in quickly."

Chunyu replied softly, "Yes." Then she bowed her head respectfully and said, "Prince, the Queen invites you in."

Chenghu walked into Kunning Palace and paid his respects humbly and politely: "Your son pays his respects to the Emperor Father and the Empress Dowager." His actions were natural and appropriate, and he seemed particularly noble and solemn.

Qingyao said anxiously, "Hurry up and call me Mother. You are my child, why bother to be so polite and call me Empress Mother? There are no outsiders here."

Cheng Hu: "Mother, please sit down. Why are you standing?" He took a few steps forward and helped his mother sit down.

Qingyao sat leisurely on the chair and asked softly, "Tuantuan, how long has it been since you came to accompany mother?"

Cheng Hu sighed and said, "I have been negligent. I have been immersed in the lessons assigned by the Grand Tutor and the Emperor's father and have not spent much time with him. I am an unfilial son."

Qingyao: "Husband, you can't give your son less homework. He also has homework from the Shangshufang."

Kangxi: "My son is very smart. The study assignments are easy for him."
