Liang Jiugong responded respectfully, "Your Highness is absolutely right. Please go ahead."

Yinreng said to Chenghu, "Brother, let's go together." His eyes were full of anticipation.

Cheng Hu: "Okay, let's go together. But what about Xiao Si? Should we let him go back alone?"

Little Yinzhen hugged Chenghu's legs tightly, as if he had become a cute pendant on his legs. He begged, "Brother, please take Xiao Si with you!"

Cheng Hu: "Xiao Si, let go, brother will take you with him."

Little Yinzhen obediently let go of Chenghu's legs and stretched out his little hands towards him, full of dependence and trust.

Chenghu bent down and took little Yinzhen into his arms, then stood up and said, "Baocheng, let's go."

Yinreng smiled and replied, "Okay," and then followed his brother out of Yuqing Palace and walked towards Cining Palace.

Cining Palace

The palace maid saw the visitor and said respectfully, "This servant pays respects to the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince."

Liang Jiugong personally stepped forward and lifted the curtain: "Prince, please come in."

Yinreng and the other two walked in together.

Kangxi: "Madam, the one holding Xiao Si next to Baocheng is Chenghu."

Yinreng saluted respectfully: "Baocheng pays his respects to the Empress Wuku and the Emperor's father."

Little Yinzhen kicked his legs and called out playfully, "Brother, put me down."

Chenghu gently placed little Yinzhen on the ground, and only stood up after confirming that he was standing firmly.

Little Yinzhen said obediently: "Yinzhen pays his respects to the mother of the Emperor Wuku and to the Emperor's father.

The Empress Dowager said softly, "Baocheng and Xiaosi, please stop being polite."

Cheng Hu stood aside silently, watching everything in front of him quietly.

The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the child, a glint of surprise in her eyes. "Xuanye, the charm revealed between this child's eyebrows is somewhat similar to that of Chenghu when he was young."

Kangxi looked at Chenghu with deep eyes and said softly, "Madam, look at this child! He is Chenghu, the son of my grandson and Qingqing. Look at the sachet around his waist. It was embroidered by Qingqing herself, and every stitch is filled with her love. It's a pity that in this world, Chenghu didn't have the chance to grow up. However, in another world, he grew up safely and even became the crown prince."

Chenghu took a quick glance and suddenly realized that the small figure had been following Baocheng closely, never leaving him, like a little guardian.

"Xuanye, do you have any good ideas to properly place Chenghu?" the Empress Dowager asked earnestly.

Kangxi: "Just say that the Eternal Heaven will bless you and return Chenghu to my grandson. Then the Jade Book will be rewritten and Chenghu will be the legitimate eldest son."

The Empress Dowager said to Xuanye in a calm tone: "I'll leave everything to you." Then she waved to Chenghu and said kindly: "Chenghu, come here and let Mother Huang Wuku take a good look at you."

Chenghu walked forward obediently, clasped his fists and said, "Chenghu pays his respects to Mother Huang Wuku."

The Grand Empress Dowager looked at Chenghu and said soothingly, "My child, now that you are here, feel free to stay here. Mother Huang Wuku will always be with you and protect you from wind and rain."

Chenghu squatted down obediently and responded softly: "Mother Huang Wuku, Chenghu understands."

Kangxi: "Chenghu, where do you want to live?"

Chenghu: "Father, please don't be so busy. I want to live with Baocheng. I want to be with Baocheng."

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, it's settled. You and your brother will live together, so get along well with each other. By the way, how have you progressed academically?"

Cheng Hu: "Because the Emperor over there promised that his son does not need to set foot in the Shangshufang often, because his intelligence has already been learned enough."

Kangxi asked, "How are your horse archery skills?"

Cheng Hu responded, "My son's riding and archery are quite good. The Emperor over there will personally teach me despite his busy schedule. I also have a highly skilled riding and archery master to teach me. I also have the careful guidance of my eldest and second uncles."

Kangxi: "Are the uncles you are talking about Chang Tai and Chang Hai?"

Cheng Hu: "Yes, over there, the three of us would go out of the palace and visit my grandparents whenever we had time."

Kangxi looked at Chenghu with a puzzled look in his eyes: "You three? Your mother only gave birth to you two brothers, Baocheng and you. How come there is suddenly an extra brother?"

Chenghu said, "That's really not the case. Over there, besides Baocheng and me, my mother also gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, Yinzhen and Nuonuo."

A hint of surprise flashed in Kangxi's eyes, and his tone was a little anxious: "Chenghu, your mother gave birth to you two brothers. Is she still alive?"

Cheng Hu: "Yes, my mother is fine."

Kangxi: "In a few days I will take you to Jingling Mausoleum to visit your mother."

Yinreng looked at Kangxi longingly and said softly, "Father, Baocheng wants to go visit my mother. I hope your Majesty will grant me permission."

Kangxi said calmly, "We'll discuss this matter before we leave."

Yinreng gently tugged at Chenghu's sleeve, a hint of pleading in his eyes: "Brother, the Emperor doesn't want me to go with you."

Cheng Hu said lightly: "It's okay, I will take Bao Cheng with me."

Kangxi: "Liang Jiugong, quickly bring the Imperial Book of Records. I need to revise it. Chenghu's name must be written back into the Imperial Book of Records."

Liang Jiugong responded respectfully, "Yes, I will go get it right away. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

Yinreng: "Then we should go down in order. As the eldest son, my brother is naturally the eldest."

Kangxi said, "Baocheng is absolutely right. As the eldest legitimate son, Chenghu naturally holds an exceptional position. However, because the Chenghu of this world tragically died young, Baoqing can only be considered the eldest illegitimate son. Since your mother has invited the Chenghu of another life to accompany you, we need to rearrange Chenghu's position."

Little Yinzhen cried in a baby voice, "Big brother, please hug me!" As he spoke, his cute little chubby hands made a coquettish gesture.

Chenghu gently picked up little Yinzhen and said with a smile, "Of course, big brother will hold you."

The Empress Dowager asked Kangxi, "Xuanye, if the concubines want to raise Chenghu, what do you think?"

Chenghu gently put little Yinzhen down, then lifted his skirt and knelt firmly. He looked at the two elders and said firmly, "Madam Huang Wuku, Madam Huang, Chenghu does not need any adoptive mother. In Chenghu's heart, only his biological mother holds a place, and no one can replace her."

Kangxi sighed, "Chenghu has grown into a little man. He's only thirteen or fourteen years old. He's grown up on his own and no longer needs a foster mother's care. He's the pride of my wife and I. Only Qingqing is worthy of being his mother."

Yinreng hugged Chenghu tightly in his arms, tears in his eyes: "Brother, you are the most important relative in my life. Like Baocheng, you are my mother's child. I can't let you leave me."

Chenghu reached out and gently patted Yinreng's back, whispering comfortingly: "Baocheng, don't be afraid, brother will always be by your side."
