Duofu wiped away non-existent sweat from his face. The weather was already a bit cold, and although it wasn't cold enough to light a brazier yet, one layer of clothing wasn't enough to keep him from the cold wind outside.

Duofu felt that the Forbidden City was too cold. He had tried to adapt for so many years but still couldn't. He thought that if he had the chance in the future, he would have to ask the Fourth Prince to settle down in the south.

Even if he can't settle down, at least when he becomes emperor, he should learn from his father and travel around from time to time, officially called "inspecting the localities".

Don't work yourself to death on the dragon throne and let his son benefit from it.

Duofu decided that he would nag the Fourth Prince more often from now on, telling him that money should be spent and not so frugal, otherwise it would all be wasted by his good-for-nothing sons.

Duofu wasn't sure if the next emperor would definitely be the Qianlong Emperor.

It seems that Emperor Qianlong was not yet born in the Fourth Prince's backyard.

Duofu remembered that Qianlong's mother's surname was Niohuru, but it seemed that there were no princesses with that surname in the Fourth Prince's harem. Duofu himself was not quite sure.

In the past two years, Emperor Kangxi and Consort De have sent quite a few people to the Fourth Prince's backyard, and they have also sent a few to the Crown Prince.

The Fourth Prince kept Duofu confined to the front courtyard to study, forbidding him from running around in the back courtyard, lest someone bump into him.

Duofu didn't believe what the Fourth Prince said at that time. He felt that the Fourth Prince must have said the opposite, that he was afraid that he would bump into someone in the backyard.

He really did forget his brothers after getting married; it's a shame he still calls him Fourth Brother on the surface.

Duofu himself was depressed for a few days.

Duofu thought it was good that his wife was a son; he was fair-skinned, chubby, and cute, and looked especially like the Fourth Prince.

Duofu loved pinching his chubby cheeks, making him feel like he was pinching the Fourth Prince's face, which gave him a strange sense of pleasure.

If you can't bully him, you can't bully his son either.

Moreover, Honghui is very clever. Duofu feels that he has completely inherited the Fourth Prince's intelligence and seems to have the ability to learn something after seeing it only once.

At an age when he couldn't even control his bowel movements, he could already recite texts, and what he was reciting were the classical Chinese texts he hated the most.

That chubby, fair-skinned boy with a wrinkled face and reciting classical Chinese phrases had a strange charm that made Duofu's affection for him even more noble.

They're almost as good as Su Peisheng.

Duofu's favorite person in the harem is his cat owner, Su Peisheng, and Su Peisheng's little apprentice, Xiazi.

Human babies are so cute, Duofu told the Fourth Prince that he also wanted to raise one.

The Fourth Prince merely agreed verbally, saying that once Duofu matured and grew up a bit more, and wasn't so spoiled anymore, he would let him raise his son.

As a result, they all moved from inside the palace to outside the palace and came to a new residence. He had two more sons, but he still couldn't fulfill this small request.
