So when Emperor Kangxi came in from outside, he saw his youngest son holding onto a stool, his head red from straining, trying his best to stand up. He was very stubborn and refused to ask for help from those around him, because he had gained weight recently, and the heavy fat was a huge challenge for him to stand up.
However, the people around him did not help him at all. Some of the mischievous maids around Consort Yi even clenched their fists, wanting to cheer on their young master!
They stared intently at the Ninth Prince, completely ignoring even the Emperor's entrance. This was because no one had warned them when he entered, allowing Emperor Kangxi to approach silently.
They knew the guards outside were there, and they knew everything was normal inside. If they were doing anything secret, they would have definitely alerted them...
Because Emperor Kangxi was initially in his study reviewing memorials and hadn't planned to come here. It was only when he came to a particular memorial that he remembered something and turned around to come this way.
Emperor Kangxi was somewhat surprised, not expecting them to live such a leisurely life here, gathered together watching a small child.
So when the nanny beside Consort Yi saw Liang Jiugong, hurriedly tugged at her mistress's sleeve, and knelt down to pay her respects, the room erupted into chaos as everyone bowed to Emperor Kangxi.
Actually, they place great importance on rules and regulations here; they were just a little surprised to see Emperor Kangxi come this time.
Consort Yi was helped up by Emperor Kangxi. She turned her head and glanced at her simple-minded son who was still standing there, but ignored him. She first took Emperor Kangxi's outer robe and then helped him sit down.
When Emperor Kangxi saw his youngest son, the Ninth Prince, staring at him with wide eyes, he was struck by the prince's striking good looks and particularly beautiful eyes. The prince reminded Emperor Kangxi of Consort Yi, who was standing beside him at that moment, her eyes sparkling with brilliance. Moreover, the prince was like a little tiger, his arms white and tender like a fine lotus root. Like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, he stared intently at Emperor Kangxi, showing no fear whatsoever. He even took a step forward and reached out his hand to him.
Emperor Kangxi knew that he visited Consort Yi's place quite often, but he didn't expect the brat to recognize him. What kind of people could such a young child recognize?
However, I was pleasantly surprised by his friendliness! This kid isn't afraid of people at all; on the contrary, he's very affectionate!
Especially since the Eighth Prince's first birthday celebration had just passed, seeing how listless the Eighth Prince looked, he naturally liked the Ninth Prince even more now!
Consort Yi is quite good at raising children!
In particular, Emperor Kangxi thought about the Fifth Prince's performance in the study and was satisfied, so he gave Consort Yi a little extra credit!
Emperor Kangxi glanced at Consort Yi. Because she had stayed in her palace and hadn't gone out much today, she was dressed in a simple sky-blue outfit and her makeup was very light. However, she wore a red gold filigree hairpin inlaid with a peach-colored tourmaline peony flower, and a few hair flowers were tucked into her hair. This was how beautiful Consort Yi must look.
Emperor Kangxi patted her hand, and then without saying a word, he took a step forward and picked up the Ninth Prince.
While the Ninth Prince was still in a daze, he suddenly experienced a sudden increase in his height, and then he saw that his mother had become smaller.
When he was small, whenever someone placed him on top of others, he would always see the people around him as large. He was used to that perspective. But now that people were suddenly so small, he let out a short, delighted scream.
When Emperor Kangxi saw that the boy was not afraid at all when he was picked up, but instead smiled so happily, his smile became even wider.
Being lively is good! Being lively means being healthy and able to grow up safely. He can't bear to experience the tragedy of losing a prince again!
"Your Majesty, what brings you here today? Have you had dinner yet?" Consort Yi ignored the interaction between the father and son and instead asked with a smile, her eyes also looking at Liang Jiugong, who naturally shook his head at Consort Yi.
Emperor Kangxi sat down with the Ninth Prince in his arms. "Let's eat here!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jiugong immediately sent his young apprentice to serve the meal. It was very convenient, as there was a small kitchen here.
Moreover, at this time, the kitchen staff had already begun preparing dinner, and everything that Consort Yi had said she would use that evening was ready. However, because of the Emperor's arrival, they might need to prepare a little more.
Just as the two were about to talk for a while, the Ninth Prince in Emperor Kangxi's arms became restless again. The Ninth Prince's wet nurse followed behind, looking on with some concern.
The young master is usually a bit mischievous, but it's one thing for him to cause trouble normally. However, when he starts making a ruckus in the Emperor's arms, she becomes a little worried about him.
Some people are worried that the Emperor will grow tired of the Ninth Prince.
"Oh, it seems the Ninth Prince wants the Emperor to carry him around more!" Liang Jiugong chimed in, flattering the Emperor, who was clearly in a good mood.
As early as when the Ninth Prince started causing trouble, Consort Yi had already made preparations to bring her son over.
Despite having many sons, the emperor was not particularly skilled at holding them; he had held the crown prince more often before.
But now that the Crown Prince has grown up so much, it's probably been a long time since he's hugged someone so affectionately.
Let's not bother him anymore. If he accidentally drops and hurts this brat, it would be a loss for us!
However, Emperor Kangxi was unusually good-tempered today. Perhaps because he was not tired, he stood up and, in a very good mood, picked up the Ninth Prince and spun around in the room.
