"Good child, why did you only tell your father today! Could it be that those servants were instructed by others..." Emperor Kangxi was furious and wished he could have those gossiping palace servants dragged out right now. However, when he saw the person in front of him, he sighed and then pulled Yinreng to his side.
"I always thought you were precocious, but I never imagined you were hiding such bitterness in your heart... I am busy every day, and even if I devote all my energy to you, I can't always attend to everything..." Emperor Kangxi's voice was weary, but it couldn't hide his heartache. This was the child he had watched grow up, and now he was truly uneasy in his heart, and he had only just realized it...
In fact, Emperor Kangxi was not satisfied with any of his children... Although he knew that his eldest son was an excellent archer and would become a military commander in the future, he was somewhat reckless.
The crown prince was raised to be exceptionally well, and all the civil and military officials praised him, but in his eyes, it was still not enough.
Why were Emperor Kangxi's standards so high?
Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, and within a few years of his accession, he had already accomplished the feat of cleverly capturing Oboi.
Such a brilliant and talented person is probably one of a kind that the Qing Dynasty will never produce again; he is a figure who can be considered one of the most outstanding in history.
Therefore, compared to Emperor Kangxi's experiences in his youth, they actually did not seem so outstanding.
However, the situation was different. Emperor Kangxi was facing internal and external troubles, and he had the support of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Every success he achieved was unique and could not be replicated.
Emperor Kangxi's thinking was somewhat skewed, so he naturally came to the conclusion that others were not outstanding.
This is why Emperor Kangxi always felt that his sons were somewhat lacking.
Perhaps this is why Emperor Kangxi was so strict with all his sons, resulting in each one being exceptionally outstanding, which in turn led to the chaotic struggle for succession among the nine princes…
However, the two people who were in the Qianqing Palace at that time could not have foreseen what would happen in later generations.
Yinreng was surprised, then overwhelmed with joy and bittersweetness, a mix of emotions welling up inside him.
He hadn't expected to receive comfort from his father.
Although he thought Jingrou's words made sense, Khan Ama was too dignified and imposing, so he didn't have much hope.
"Father..." Yinreng stepped forward and was gently embraced by Emperor Kangxi.
"If anything happens to Baocheng, we must inform Father. We have always relied on each other, and even though we are older, we cannot become estranged..." Emperor Kangxi sighed.
Now there are many young concubines in the palace, and his offspring are gradually becoming more numerous. The younger ones are always more endearing, and those little ones who love to cry and make a fuss attract more attention than the grown-up Yinreng, making him somewhat neglect this sensible eldest son.
"Your son thanks Father Khan." Yinreng's eyes were red. The father and son had a rare and very warm evening together, and in the end, they even stayed overnight in a side hall of the Qianqing Palace.
Since he moved into Yuqing Palace when he was a little over three years old, he has not often stayed overnight there.
When the news came, several more vases in Zhongcui Palace were broken.
Everyone in the palace knew that the First Prince and the Crown Prince had returned together, but only the Crown Prince was allowed to stay for a meal and even spent the night in the Qianqing Palace! But her Baoqing returned looking dejected!
Consort Hui's face was somewhat gloomy, and those around her remained silent.

Back at the mansion, Jingrou was not idle. Her second aunt had become quite active recently, making several friends with other ladies. Whenever she had free time, her second aunt would take Jingrou over.
Jingrou was naturally delighted. Staying at home every day would limit her experience, and her maternal grandmother wouldn't allow her to go out with He Cen and the others every day. So, the more suitable opportunity was to go out with her elders.
There are even more opportunities to trigger hidden missions and earn more points.
After another four or five days, Jingrou finally collected all the points she had painstakingly accumulated.
There were even two left over.
Since she started accumulating points, she's always found them very useful, which makes her very frugal. Even if there are all sorts of amazing items in the system shop, she doesn't dare to redeem them easily.
Now that she had redeemed the pills to save her second uncle's life, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could now freely use the remaining two points.
but…
"Little salted fish!"
"Hey, I'm here!" The Xianyu system has gone from initially rejecting this name to now accepting it calmly, since there's no way to correct it anyway.
"This pill is so miraculous, how can I prevent my second uncle from becoming suspicious? It's impossible to just say that I suddenly got a life-saving pill and expect my uncle to believe me and take it when necessary, right?" Jingrou frowned.
"Don't worry, host! If it can't be logically consistent, you can disguise it with something. As long as your relatives carry it with them, in a crisis, the pill will sense the vital signs of the person next to it and will naturally take effect!" Its voice was full of confidence.
"It's not just a simple pill! It's worth thirty points!"
Jingrou's eyes lit up. That's truly amazing!
The system is a bit stingy and lazy, but it's still reliable. Even the pills you exchange come with after-sales service!
But then I need to think carefully about what I should give my second uncle as a disguise so that he can carry it with him at all times.
However, she still has a few days to prepare for this, and right now, those two points are the most important thing for her!
The two points that would break one's heart and bring tears to the eyes of anyone who saw them were a considerable fortune in Jingrou's eyes.
The system shop was incredibly abundant, offering everything from modern carbonated drinks to high-tech weapons and even items from the interstellar era. However, many items were so expensive that she didn't even dare to dream of them.
Finally, her eyes fell on the hot pot recipe that only required two points to redeem.
According to the introduction, it's a culinary master recipe that will make your mouth water!
Just thinking about hot pot, that numbing and spicy stuff, made Jingrou's mouth water.
Even though it was still a bit hot, she couldn't resist her urge and finally clicked "redeem".
It's been such a long time since I've had hot pot!
Because of her poor health, although she is better now, the general consensus is that children should not eat foods with strong flavors.
But she's the kind of person who can't live without spicy food, so how could she stand eating bland food every day?
Feeling the weight in her hand, Jingrou clenched the hot pot recipe, ready to show off her skills and let her family taste this "Chinese delicacy".
