Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Kunning Palace

Qingyao softly instructed, "Chunyu, go to the small kitchen and prepare some of His Majesty's favorite dishes. Make sure the meal is ready when His Majesty arrives at Kunning Palace, so that He doesn't have to wait too long."

Chun Yu: "Yes, Madam, I will go and tell the kitchen right away."

Qingyao asked softly, "It's scorching hot right now, and His Majesty can't stand the heat. I wonder if the kitchen has prepared some snacks to cool down?"

Chunyu replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, as summer approaches, the small kitchen has already carefully prepared refreshing mung bean water and nourishing rock sugar and snow pears. There are also ice bowls waiting to be filled with ice cubes, and there are also fresh fruits soaked in the water."

Qingyao nodded and smiled, her voice revealing calmness and confidence: "Everything is ready. We will immediately offer the carefully prepared delicacies when His Majesty arrives at Kunning Palace." After that, she turned around and got busy, preparing neat clothes herself, striving for perfection in every detail.

The moment Kangxi brought Liang Jiugong into the Kunning Palace, Liang Jiugong's voice was loud and solemn: "Your Majesty is here!" The voice echoed in the palace, showing the majesty and dignity of the royal family.

Hearing the sound, Qingyao quickly walked to the door and waited quietly.

Kangxi strode into Kunning Palace and saw the person waiting for him.

Qingyao: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health." She knelt down and saluted.

Kangxi quickly reached out to support her: "Qingqing, please stand up quickly."

Qingyao: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Kangxi whispered softly, "There's no one here with us, so just call me husband. I've reminded you so many times, why do you always forget?"

Qingyao said softly, "Husband, the weather is very hot now. Do you need to change your clothes to dissipate the heat?"

Kangxi: "Then please help me change my clothes." Then he went behind the screen.

Qingyao: "Yes, husband, the small kitchen has already prepared some to cool you down. Would you like some?" She followed him.

Kangxi: "Then use some. What do you have?"

Qingyao: "There's mung bean water, rock sugar pears, an ice bowl, and some frozen fruits."

Kangxi: "Then bring some mung bean water."

Qingyao responded meekly, "Yes, husband." Then, she raised her voice and told Chunyu to prepare, and then she personally bathed and changed clothes for her husband, showing her thoughtfulness and delicacy.

Kangxi gazed at her affectionately, his eyes filled with admiration and love. Her busy figure, busy for him, was like a moving painting, showcasing her boundless kindness and gentleness. He softly exclaimed, "My dear husband, you are truly virtuous."

Qingyao smiled gently and said, "My husband, I serve you personally. Isn't this as it should be?"

Kangxi held her in his arms affectionately and whispered, "Indeed, only with you can I truly relax my body and mind."

Qingyao raised her hand and gently wrapped it around his waist. Her voice was soft but firm: "This is not just Kunning Palace, it's our common home."

Kangxi: "You are right, this is our home."

Qingyao loosened one of her hands and patted his chest: "Husband, please let go first. I will help you change your clothes first."

Kangxi let her go and looked down at her.

Qingyao raised her hand to help him button up his clothes one by one and tie his belt.

Kangxi: "Thank you for your hard work, my dear."

Qingyao smiled and shook her head, saying gently, "My husband, your words are too polite."

Kangxi pulled her out from behind the screen and sat on the Arhat couch.

Chunyu gently brought the porcelain bowl filled with cool mung bean water to the table, placed it carefully, and then quietly retreated.

Qingyao: "Husband, drink some mung bean water to cool down."

Kangxi tenderly instructed, "My dear, you must limit your intake of raw and cold foods, so as to avoid suffering from abdominal pain on that special day."

Qingyao responded gently, "Husband, please rest assured, Madam Ling is here."

Kangxi: "That's good. Otherwise, it will be just like last summer. You drank too much cold drinks and had a stomachache."

Qingyao: "It's too hot in the summer, so I just ate an extra bowl of ice."

Kangxi: "Then let's set off for Changchun Garden tomorrow."

Qingyao smiled gently and said, "It's such a hot summer day, I really can't stand the heat."

Kangxi: "You." He shook his head helplessly.

Qingyao asked softly, "When we get to Changchun Garden, should I stay at Guanlan Pavilion by myself?"

Kangxi: "You and I will live together in Guanlan Pavilion."

Qingyao opened her red lips and whispered softly, "My dear husband, please arrange for us to eat now."

Kangxi: "Then use it. It's getting late.

Qingyao said, "Chunyu, serve the meal." Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes. The two sat opposite each other, enjoying the food while chatting and laughing.

After dinner, Kangxi held Qingyao's hand and strolled through the courtyard of Kunning Palace. The moonlight was like water, shining on the two of them, reflecting the light of happiness.

"Husband, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight." Qingyao said softly.

"Not even a point as good as you." Kangxi looked at her affectionately.

The two of them depended on each other, immersed in the sweet atmosphere, as if time had stopped.

Kangxi: "My dear, the night is deep, let's go to bed."

Qingyao: "I still want to stay with my husband for a while longer. He goes to the morning court early every day, and I can't see him when I wake up."

Kangxi: "How about I let you hold me while I sleep tonight?" He said gently to coax her.

Qingyao: "Okay, let's go back to the bedroom." She followed him back to the bedroom.

Inner Temple

Qingyao took off her hair bun in front of the dressing table.

Kangxi carried her back to the phoenix couch and waved down the bed curtains. The bright yellow nightgown and the snow-white nightgown were tangled together and scattered on the ground.

Soon the air was filled with the faint moans of women and the low gasps of men, as well as the faint sobbing of women.
