"You and Xiao Si are having fun."
Kangxi's sudden words scared everyone in the room. Tong Jia was relieved to see that Kangxi looked good.
Holding Xiao Si in her arms, she stood up and bowed, saying, "Xiao Si is so adorable. I always want to hold him and play with him."
After Tong Jia finished talking to Kangxi, she smiled and nodded at Yinreng as a greeting.
Yinreng had mixed feelings when he came with Kangxi this time.
Thinking of the ending of himself and Yinzhen in his previous life, he really couldn't like this younger brother.
But in this life, every time he saw the little milk ball, his heart would be soft again.
"Xiao Si seems to like Lady Tong Jia very much."
Tong Jia was greatly relieved to see that Yinreng was willing to talk to her.
"Maybe we are destined to be together."
When Kangxi saw that Yinreng was still able to talk to Tong Jia, he was quite moved.
He was also worried that this guy would always hold a grudge against Tong Jia and might even deal with her like he did to Concubine Yi.
Fortunately, this kid was sensible and didn't make things difficult for himself.
"I came today, firstly to visit Xiao Si, and secondly to attend the memorial ceremony for the late Queen and the Crown Prince's birthday."
Yinreng looked at Kangxi in surprise.
[I thought the Emperor just wanted to see Xiao Si, but I didn't expect it was for me and my mother.]
Kangxi glanced at Yinreng, who seemed a little awkward, smiled bitterly and shook his head, then his eyes fell on Tonggiya.
"I'll leave the late Queen's memorial service and the Crown Prince's birthday on the third day of the fifth lunar month to you and Concubine Hui. This year is the Crown Prince's first birthday, so it must be grand."
In previous years, because Yinreng was still young, Kangxi did not hold a birthday banquet for him. Instead, the father and son went to pay homage to the late queen first, and then had a meal together alone.
But after Yinreng experienced smallpox, Kangxi suddenly felt that the child had grown up and should not always live in the sorrow of the death of the late queen.
When Tong Jia saw that Kangxi entrusted her with two such important tasks, she felt both happy and nervous.
"Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince, rest assured. I will definitely take care of these two things."
Kangxi was very satisfied. After teasing Xiao Si for a while, he took Yinreng away.
"Baocheng, the Ming Fengci Palace has been redecorated. I've replaced the inscription with a new one, calling it Yuqing Palace.
"Baocheng, do you want to visit Yuqing Palace? You will be studying there next year."
Yinreng nodded obediently, "Okay, Baocheng wants to go and see it."
When the father and son arrived at Yuqing Palace, Kangxi kept staring at Yinreng's reaction.
Sure enough, no matter how luxuriously the Yuqing Palace was decorated, Yinreng's gaze remained calm.
It seemed as if he was already familiar with everything here, and occasionally when he touched something, a hint of sadness would appear in his eyes.
[Reborn, Yuqing Palace remains the same, filled with pain and painful memories.]
"Father, does my son have to study in Yuqing Palace?"
Kangxi felt extremely sad, "Baocheng doesn't like it here, right?"
Yinreng lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Kangxi finally made a decision in his heart.
After the father and son returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi instructed Liang Jiugong, "Notify the Ministry of Works to dismantle and rebuild the Yuqing Palace."
Liang Jiugong was shocked.
A huge amount of money was spent to build such a luxurious palace, so why did it need to be renovated?
"Yes, I will give the order right away."
A few days before Yinreng's birthday, a spring rain suddenly fell.
The playful Yinzhi caught a cold while watching the rain in the yard.
The young child had a high fever all day and all night, which frightened Rongpin so much that she stayed by the bedside with a worried heart and almost cried until her eyes went blind.
When Yinreng and Yinzhi went to visit Xianfu Palace together, Yinzhi was lying on the bed with his little face still rosy.
He said his fever had subsided, but he couldn't wake up.
Rongpin had fainted from crying several times, but after waking up, she still rushed forward to guard without caring about herself, for fear of missing Yinzhi's awakening.
Yinreng was deeply touched when he saw this.
[If my mother were still alive, would she have stayed by my side like Rongpin when I had smallpox?]
Kangxi, who had just stepped into the door, heard this voice and pursed his lips.
"emperor."
When Rongpin stood up to pay her respects to Yinreng and saw Kangxi appear, tears welled up in her eyes again and her voice trembled a little.
"The imperial physician said Xiao San's fever has subsided, but no matter how I called, the child refused to open his eyes."
Kangxi walked to the bedside and took a look. The usually lively and cute little guy had his eyes closed. Anyone who saw him would feel very distressed.
"Don't worry, Madam Rong. With the protection of the Eternal Heaven, Xiao San will be fine. She will definitely be able to turn danger into safety."
[In his previous life, Xiao San was the most learned of his brothers, and even worked with his master to compile and edit books. How could he have died in such a minor cold?]
Kangxi felt a little relieved after hearing this and also spoke to comfort him.
"Ma Jia, the prince said that Xiao San will be able to turn danger into safety this time, and it will definitely turn danger into safety. You must believe what the prince said."
Rongpin: ⊙▃⊙
Can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince perform rituals?
[Emperor Father, you really are...]
Yinreng sighed silently.
Seeing Rongpin's dazed look, he could only say, "I have my elder brother here to accompany Xiaosan. Rongpin, please go and rest first. You should also take care of yourself."
Rongpin wanted to refuse, but she caught a glimpse of Kangxi nodding approvingly. She was afraid that she would be considered ungrateful if she refused, so she had to agree.
Kangxi instructed the imperial physician to treat him well and then left.
