Chapter 84 Conferring the Title of Crown Prince



After saying that, Yinzhen used his charming and generous manner again, cupping his face with his two little hands and saying, "Brother, please?"

Yinzhen doesn't yet know if this tactic will work on his brother, but it certainly works well on his mother (?▽?)

Wanwan said: The little dumpling is so cute, I can't resist.

Bao Cheng had never coaxed a child before. After all, he was still a child himself, and usually others were the ones who coaxed him. He had never coaxed anyone else before.

So I was quite happy to hear Yin Zheng's words, and I always felt that I was a really good older brother, thinking that I was an adult now.

Bao Cheng replied, "Okay."

"Whatever you want to hear, as long as it's something your brother knows, your brother will tell you."

Yinzhen: "I want to hear Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (?▽?)

Bao Cheng listened to Yinzhen's words, and his expression was like this (┯_┯).

That's understandable; he's guaranteed that what Bi Yinzhen is saying is something he's never heard of before.

Bao Cheng: "This... I don't know how to say this, why don't you choose another one?"

Yinzhen said, "Brother, you don't know how. Then tell us about Little Red Riding Hood."

Bao Cheng: ┐(─__─)┌

Yinzhen glanced at his brother's expression. Judging from his brother's appearance, it seemed that he didn't know how to speak either. He decided to try another one himself.

Yinzhen suggested, "Why don't we take the Emperor's New Clothes?"

Bao Cheng: …………………

Yinzhen: "You can't explain this either? Then you know so little, brother. My mother knows everything."

Unbeknownst to them, Baocheng was dragged down and trampled on.

Bao Cheng's inner thoughts at this moment are like this ┐(─__─)┌.

At this moment, Yinzhen seemed to understand Baocheng's expression. "Then tell me one, brother. You know how, right?"

Bao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. His body had been tense just now. After all, he wouldn't do one thing that Yinzhen said. How could he be shameless? He was the older brother, after all. How could he be looked down upon by his younger brother?

So Bao Cheng immediately agreed. "Okay, let me tell you another one."

Bao Cheng asked, "Is it possible to move mountains like the Foolish Old Man?"

Yinzhen gave his brother face and said, "Alright, let's do it."

Bao Cheng began to tell the story: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain…… ...

After Bao Cheng finished reading, he glanced at Yin Zhen, but Yin Zhen's eyes were still bright and clear, showing no signs of being asleep.

Yinzhen: "Brother, did someone really move the mountain?"

Bao Cheng said, "You said it's a story, so of course it's a story." Actually, little Bao Cheng didn't know if it really happened, but could he show it? Of course not, after all, he was the older brother.

Yinzhen asked, "Then why don't my brothers dig a road? Wouldn't digging a road be much easier than digging a mountain?"

Bao Cheng……………

Can he say he doesn't know? (?_?)

Bao Cheng said, "This...this mountain is too high and too big, it's difficult to dig a road."

Yinzhen said, "But brother, if the road is hard to dig, wouldn't the mountain be even harder to dig?"

Bao Cheng…………………

What I was thinking was: Please stop asking me (?_?).

Bao Cheng said, "You said you would fall asleep after telling a story, but you're still not asleep. Are you lying to me?" Bao Cheng looked at Yinzhen with eyes that seemed to say: You are not an honest child.

Yinzhen said, "I'll go to sleep right away, I'll fall asleep very soon."

When Bao Cheng heard Yinzhen say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he didn't ask any more questions, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to answer.

Even when little Yinzhen was asleep, he was still holding his older brother's hand.

Bao Cheng fell asleep a little later than him, so he naturally knew, but he didn't let go; instead, he held his younger brother's hand tightly.

The author really wants to say, what a heartwarming scene! (?▽?)

…………………………

Sure enough, a few days later, Emperor Kangxi issued an edict establishing Bao as the Crown Prince. Thus, the last Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty was born.

By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

Since ancient times, emperors who ascended the throne and ruled the world had always established a successor and strengthened the foundation of the state to ensure the long-lasting prosperity of the dynasty. I, having inherited this great legacy, am diligent and conscientious day and night. I look up to the glorious achievements of our ancestors. The entrustment is of utmost importance. The continuation of the dynasty and the continuation of blessings rest on the shoulders of a virtuous and capable ruler.

The eldest son, Yinreng, is exceptionally talented and intelligent. He is naturally gifted and of noble character. Now, in accordance with the benevolent commands of the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and following the established rites and the will of the people, we respectfully report this to Heaven, Earth, the ancestral temple, and the state.

On the 14th day of the 12th month of the 16th year of the Kangxi reign, Yinreng was granted the imperial seal and edict, and established as the Crown Prince. He was placed in the Eastern Palace to ensure the continuation of the imperial line and to unite the hearts of the people.

PS: Actually, the Crown Prince was established in the fourteenth year of Kangxi's reign, but the author changed it to the sixteenth year, which can be considered as foreshadowing the future relationship between Wanwan and the Crown Prince.

On the day the crown prince was appointed, the little prince was held by his wet nurse. After all, he was still a child, and he couldn't bear to be tired all day. When he was in a good mood, he would stand and follow along on his own. When he was tired, he would snuggle in the wet nurse's arms. It was already quite good that he didn't cry.

From then on, the first and last crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, and the last crown prince of the entire feudal dynasty, were born.

However, after Bao Cheng was made crown prince, the other concubines in the harem had to pay their respects to him. As the Imperial Noble Consort, Wan Wan could choose to pay her respects or not, but it is likely that she would not. Even if Wan Wan did pay her respects, Bao Cheng would not accept them.

…………………………

The ceremony to confer the title of Crown Prince was quite tiring for everyone. Bao Cheng did not come to Jingren Palace that night, but rested directly in Qianqing Palace. The next morning, Bao Cheng came to pay his respects to Wanwan.

Just after all the concubines in the harem had paid their respects.

……………………

Jingren Palace

Wanwan hadn't come out yet, so all the concubines were sitting on their stools waiting for her to appear.

Wanwan was getting up and getting dressed inside. It has to be said that having a high rank is good. People always wait for her. Ever since she became the Imperial Noble Consort, she has never waited for anyone.

What made Wanwan happiest was that after she became an Imperial Noble Consort, people were sent to pay their respects to her on the first and fifteenth of each month, and then she would accompany them to the Cining Palace to pay her respects. This time, it was perfectly legitimate.

You only need to get up early twice a month, and I have to say, the feeling of sleeping in every day is "really great".
