With their younger sister in their arms, the Crown Prince and Yinzhen were so focused on comforting the child that they paid no attention to anything else.
He always chose to protect himself from the power struggles between his father and mother, never getting involved.
The Crown Prince also wanted to hold Yao Yao. "Fourth Brother seems to be particularly good at holding children. Let Second Brother hold her now, so Second Brother can practice more."
After saying that, he carefully took (snatched) Yao Yao.
Yinzhen said: "I'm an adult, I won't argue with a child like you."
Then he joined the team to coax his younger sister.

That evening, Kangxi naturally stayed at Jingren Palace. Not only was it the day Wanwan was out of confinement, so Kangxi should be at Jingren Palace, but he also missed Wanwan.
That night, Kangxi was exceptionally vigorous, for there was no one in the harem who could please him as much as he did, both emotionally and physically.
Of course, what he didn't know was that Wanwan possessed supernatural abilities. With just a little body repair, she could return to her optimal state, resulting in a superior experience.
Since Wanwan finished her postpartum confinement, she has been showered with unparalleled favor.
During her pregnancy and postpartum period, others could eat some meat scraps and drink some meat soup, but after she finished her postpartum period, she couldn't even smell meat, let alone meat scraps and meat soup.
However, they dared not unite and "courte themselves" again. This time was different. The first pair of twins born in the Qing Dynasty were a boy and a girl. Not only was the significance different, but the two women in Cining Palace were unlikely to intervene. Kangxi and the others naturally dared not speak out, so they could only "endure" it.
Life went on like this. Although they were unhappy that Kangxi favored Wanwan too much, they were powerless to do anything about it.
Fortunately, Wanwan was a shrewd and discerning woman. She never skimped on the allowances for either favored or unfavored concubines.
Their lives weren't too bad, so they weren't so crazy about vying for favor.
Time passed, and the others were constantly overshadowed by Wanwan, unable to lift their heads.

The year is now the 26th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. In the 25th year of his reign, Consort Hui began arranging marriages for her eldest son. However, the Manchu princess she chose was different from the one Kangxi had in mind. (Actually, Yinzhi had already married by the 26th year of Kangxi's reign, but the author reiterates that you should not concern yourself with the timeline.)
The marriage was originally scheduled for October of the 26th year of Kangxi's reign. However, in that year, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's health deteriorated rapidly, and she was often too ill to get out of bed. Therefore, Kangxi decided to move the marriage forward, which could be considered as bringing good luck to his ancestor.
Emperor Kangxi held his grandmother, who had raised him since childhood, in high esteem. Although he was unhappy with her interference in politics during his youth, he erected a stele stating that the empress dowager must not interfere in politics.
However, he could not deny the nurturing and help he received from Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the two still had a very deep relationship.
Emperor Kangxi even said that he would rather shorten his own lifespan than let his grandmother get better.
However, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was already seventy-five years old, which is considered a long life according to age.
On this day, Emperor Kangxi arrived at Jingren Palace in a bad mood. Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had been ill for several months.
During this period, the harem was unusually quiet.
Emperor Kangxi was in a bad mood. Although he knew that his grandmother was very old and the imperial physicians couldn't do anything about it, he still couldn't accept the fact that his grandmother, who had almost given him the throne, was dying.
