Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Gabula bid his father-in-law farewell, carefully instructing the steward to personally see him off as a sign of respect. He then gently pushed the door of the ancestral hall and solemnly placed the imperial edict on the sacred ground. As he left the hall, he instructed everyone that any future visits by the Fifth Prince should be treated with the same courtesy as the Eldest Prince and the Crown Prince, as if they were Qingyao's own child.

Everyone: "Yes, Master."

Gabula: "Okay, go back to your own business. Remember, don't favor one over the other among the three children." He returned to the front yard.

Yuqing Palace

Cheng Hu: "Bao Cheng, do you remember anything major that happened five years ago?"

Yinreng: "Yes, in the seventh month of the eighteenth year, the earth dragon turned over and reached level eight, with countless casualties."

Cheng Hu: "It's the 7th month of the 18th year. Damn it! It's the 18th year where I am. I don't know if it's already the 7th month. If it is the 7th month, it will be troublesome if the emperor and his family don't know."

Yinreng: "Brother, there's no point in worrying."

Cheng Hu: "Bao Cheng is right. I am here, and there is no point in worrying. When you grow up and get married, I will go back."

Yinreng hugged Chenghu's waist tightly and said coquettishly, "Then I will never grow up and never get married, so that my brother can stay with me forever."

Cheng Hu patted his back gently, smiled and teased, "You little guy, you're so old, why are you still like a child?"

Yinreng: "I'm only eight or nine years old. I'm just a child. Besides, I have an older brother. What am I going to do when I grow up?"

Cheng Hu: "Yes, Bao Cheng is still young, brother will protect you."

Yinreng: "Brother, you must protect me forever."

Cheng Hu: "Okay, I will protect you forever."

Qianqing Palace

Liang Jiugong returned to the Qianqing Palace to reply.

Kangxi nodded to show that he understood: "Liang Jiugong, how do you think I can compensate Chenghu? It is reasonable that the crown prince position should be Chenghu, but he is not grown up yet. The crown prince position is now Baocheng, but Baocheng has done an excellent job. I cannot depose Baocheng and give the crown prince position to Chenghu. This will cause a rift between the two brothers."

Liang Jiugong: "Your Majesty, why don't you give the eldest prince a title?" he asked tentatively.

Kangxi pondered for a moment and then spoke softly, "It is certainly possible to confer a title, but what kind of title should it be?"

Liang Jiugong brought hot tea to the table and stepped aside to serve.

Kangxi pondered for a long time, then finally ordered, "Liang Jiugong, grind the ink." He spread out the imperial edict, gently picked up the brush, and carefully wrote each word. When the ink was dry, he carefully picked up the imperial seal and solemnly placed it on the imperial edict.

Liang Jiugong stood aside and waited.

Kangxi: "Liang Jiugong, go to Yuqing Palace and convey the imperial edict."

Liang Jiugong took the imperial edict and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." He carefully held the imperial edict and went to Yuqing Palace.

Kangxi said in a deep voice, "Wei Zhu, quickly summon the Minister of Works to come to the emperor."

Wei Zhu: "Yes, I will go right away, Your Majesty." He went to summon the Minister of Works.

Yuqing Palace

Chenghu held a book in his hand and patiently tutored his younger brother in his studies. Occasionally, his eyes would lift from between the lines to look at the cute figure playing nearby, his eyes full of tenderness.

Liang Jiugong arrived at Yuqing Palace and saw He Zhu: "He Zhu, go and ask the eldest prince and the crown prince to come and receive the imperial edict. The emperor has an order."

He Zhu: "Eunuch Liang, wait a moment, I will go and invite the eldest prince and the crown prince." He knocked on the door gently, pushed it open and walked in: "Eldest prince, crown prince, Eunuch Liang from the emperor's side is here, he said there is an imperial decree."

Chenghu: "I understand. I'll go right away." He put down the books and walked out. He stopped to pick up the little Yinzhen who was sitting on the ground and held him in his arms, then strode out.

Yinreng stood up and followed his brother out of the study.
