Duofu silently shed a tear of bitterness for the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.

Life is too bitter and stifling. If even the princes in the palace live like this, how can other people have an easy life?

However, Duofu thought about it and realized that other people would probably have it easier, at least they wouldn't have to get up so early to study.

After listening to what the Fourth Prince Yinzhen said, Duofu's mind was filled with nothing but the thought of waking up at 3:00 AM, repeating it 120 times in his head.

I certainly won't compete with him for this position; becoming emperor isn't easy.

Duofu looked at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen and saw that although he seemed very tired, his eyes were shining, as if he quite liked this kind of life.

Duofu felt he couldn't understand it; was this some kind of ancient version of a PUA master?

Duofu feels that the current Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, is definitely being manipulated.

Otherwise, people might think that this is how life should be lived. Some people like to live a frugal life. Otherwise, how can they become an emperor by tightening their belts?

Duofu is looking down on himself. How could he think like that?

If the Fourth Prince Yinzhen doesn't work hard now, how can he win Kangxi's attention and lay a good foundation for future succession?

Yes, princes and dogs should live different lives.

Otherwise, why would the Fourth Prince Yinzhen be a prince, while Duofu is treated like a dog?

Duofu thought about it for a while, then recovered.

Yes, that's how a prince should live, otherwise he'd feel even more resentful.

Duofu felt very happy today; he had never been this happy since he transmigrated.

He didn't know why, but when he heard the Fourth Prince Yinzhen talk about how he spent his day, Duofu felt genuinely happy.

What a hardworking and ambitious child he should be! This is how a prince in the Qing Dynasty should be.

Duofu was overjoyed. He looked up at the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, and felt that the Fourth Prince was more and more pleasing to the eye today.

What a good child.

That's how it should be! He's been reborn as a puppy, so he should eat well, drink well, sleep well, and play well.

Those princes and noblemen should get up earlier than dogs and go to bed later than chickens.

Everyone needs to be rolled up, otherwise how will I become emperor in the future?

Hehehehehe.

Duofu feels really happy today; today is truly a good day.

Good days, good days.

Indeed, one's own happiness should be built on the suffering of others.

This kind of comparison will give you a great sense of accomplishment.

Duofu couldn't help but think, and suddenly a picture appeared in his mind.

The young Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, got up before dawn, sat at his desk in the Imperial Study, picked up a book, and solemnly read it, shaking his head and swaying his body. Throughout the process, he also had a serious, wrinkled face.

No, Duofu couldn't help but laugh even louder, his two big fox eyes narrowed, and his tail swayed abnormally behind him.

Not long after, another scene replaced the previous one of reading.

All that could be seen was the four princes, Yinzhen, who was about the size of a three-headed figure, holding a small bow and arrow, trying hard to draw it. However, due to insufficient strength, the bow and arrow fell to the ground with a snap.

Thinking of that scene made Duofu feel even more pain in his stomach.

Looking at the person by the bedside still talking incessantly about their experiences over the past few days, especially about being mocked by the Third Prince Yin Zhi at the martial arts training ground today, the Fourth Prince Yin Zhen, who usually liked to act serious, reverted to being that talkative, three-headed little dumpling.

Looking at Duofu, I felt very gratified, like an old father looking at his youngest son.

Finally, he returned to his usual lively and talkative self. These past few days, since he started attending the Imperial Study, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen has been trying his best to become a serious little old man, always keeping a straight face, as if attending the Imperial Study has made him grow up.

I wish I could suddenly become an adult, but luckily I must have suffered some injustice outside today, because I've suddenly reverted to my old self.

The lively and talkative Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, is still the best.

Duofu watched the vivid expressions on the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's round face, which were quite lively.

That's right, children should be happy and enjoy reading.

Besides, you still have Consort Tong and are favored. Why do you want to grow up all at once? It's not easy to be vibrant and lively in the palace.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Now, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, likes to act like an adult in front of outsiders more and more, with a stern face and seemingly sharp eyes.

It's possible that Duofu was spoiled by the Fourth Prince and is not afraid of him now.

Duofu noticed that the servants attending to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen were terrified when the Fourth Prince Yinzhen suddenly put on a stern face.

At times like these, the servants around him would become extremely cautious, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Duofu might be carefree and not have the same feelings as them. People in different positions have different feelings.

But it's all for the best. These servants are afraid, after all. It's much better that they're afraid of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, than that they secretly deceive or bully him.

If you don't assert yourself in this palace, everyone will take advantage of you.

Once, I overheard the servants gossiping about how the Eighth Prince, born to Consort Liang, was having a hard time. He was bullied by the servants at such a young age and was not dressed or fed well.

When Duofu first heard this, he was somewhat incredulous. How could a prince in the palace live such a miserable life?

Still not enough to eat?

How is that possible?

Later, after hearing their account of what happened, I learned that it took place in the palace.

An unfavored person.

It's really hard to survive.

Duofu blinked his big, innocent eyes twice, then unconsciously smacked his lips.

I couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, the Fourth Prince is a relatively favored prince now, otherwise he wouldn't be living such a good life.

I couldn't help but feel a slight sense of crisis.

When did the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, fall out of favor?

It seems that not long after Consort Tong's death, Emperor Kangxi's favor towards her gradually disappeared.

Coupled with Consort De's neglect, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's life became difficult.

Duofu tried hard to recall all the historical information about the Qing Dynasty in his mind.

In the end, I only learned some general information from popular Qing Dynasty dramas.

Duofu shook his head fiercely.

Why think so much now?

He's just a puppy now, why worry about the future? He should focus on living well in the present.

I'm just living one day at a time on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app).

In any case, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen has had a good life in recent years, so his life must also be good.

Thinking about this, Duofu couldn't help but feel optimistic.

At least now, compared to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's life...

There are so many things that are much easier to live than this.

Just the one thing about waking up early.

Duofu couldn't help but roll around happily again.

Today is a great day, another day I can sleep in.
