'Wanwan, wow, not bad! You're so young and you already know you can have it all without making a choice.'
"Hmm, not bad, promising."
Wanwan: "Okay, then you go to sleep first."
"Go play with your Crown Prince brother this afternoon. After your Crown Prince brother finishes eating, he has to go back to the Qianqing Palace to review his lessons. He doesn't have time to sleep with you right now."
Yinzhen: "Ah, brother is leaving? Alright then, I'll go by myself."
He left after saying that.
Bao Cheng stopped Yinzhen and said, "Little brother, after lunch every day, I can rest for a while, or I can take a nap with you."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's eyes lit up. "Really? Okay, okay."
Yinzhen said, "Then I'll wait until my brother finishes eating."
Then Bao Cheng sped up his eating and finished in no time.
Little Bao Cheng has very good manners; after finishing his meal, he wipes his mouth with a handkerchief and then jumps off the chair.
He took Yinzhen's little hand and said, "Come on, brother will take you to sleep."
Yinzhen also consciously placed his hand in his brother's hand.
The answer is, "Okay, let's go take a nap."
Bao Cheng said, "Your Majesty, I will take my younger brother to rest."
Wanwan said, "Go ahead, but don't spoil him too much."
Wanwan was happy to see the loving and respectful relationship between the brothers. One was someone she had raised as her own, and the other was someone she had watched grow up.
She is happy that the two are getting along well now.
East Annex Hall of Jingren Palace
Yinzhen led his brother into the bedroom, then called a maid to make the bed, and said directly to Baocheng, "Brother, go to bed."
After saying that, he sat down on the small stool next to him and waited for the wet nurse to change his clothes.
Bao Cheng changed his clothes with the eunuch He Zhu who was by his side.
The two little ones slept neatly after getting into bed, but this didn't last long before Yinzhen's "illness" relapsed.
Yinzhen: "Brother, why are your clothes a different color today? Why are you dressed like Father Emperor?"
Bao Cheng said, "Because you're the Crown Prince now, you dress like Father Emperor. Okay, don't ask about that anymore. How about I lull you to sleep?"
Yinzhen wanted to say something, but seeing what his brother said, he didn't refute it.
Yinzhen: "Okay, actually I don't need my brother to coax me to sleep, I can fall asleep by myself."
After saying that, as if to prove that she could really fall asleep, she neatly placed her hands and lay her body upright in bed.
Then he glanced at his brother, his eyes seeming to say, "See, I told you I could sleep by myself."
Although Bao Cheng was a year older than Yin Zhen, they were both still children.
Bao Cheng also praised his younger brother, saying, "Yes, my brother did a really good job."
Then I went to sleep too.
Let me just say this: the princes of the Qing Dynasty had a really tough life. They had to get up earlier than the chickens, and although they didn't sleep later than the dogs, they didn't have a midday rest. After lunch, they would barely have time to rest before starting their afternoon riding and archery lessons. They only had an hour or two to play in the evening.
Although the two had slept together, Yinzhen still secretly held his brother's hand.
Bao Cheng naturally knew, but he didn't say anything and just slept quietly.
However, before going to sleep, Bao Cheng told He Zhu, "Wake me up in a quarter of an hour."
He Zhu “嗻”.
………………………
He Zhu called out in a soft voice, "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time to get up."
After calling out, seeing that the Crown Prince did not react, he patted Bao Cheng's arm again.
"Your Highness, it's time to get up and return to the Qianqing Palace."
Bao Cheng woke up when he felt He Zhu pat his arm. He glanced at his younger brother and saw that he was still sleeping like a little pig.
Bao Cheng got up and said, "Keep your voice down, don't wake him. Help me get dressed."
After He Zhu dressed Bao Cheng, Bao Cheng left Jingren Palace without saying goodbye to Wan Wan, because Wan Wan usually took a nap at this time.

Qianqing Palace
Kangxi looked at Baocheng and said, "You're back. Why are you so late?"
Bao Cheng replied, "Your Majesty, after I had breakfast with my mother, I stayed with my younger brother for a while longer."
Kangxi said, "Alright, I understand. Go and review your lessons."
Then, remembering something, he said, "Wait a minute."
"You don't need to go this afternoon."
"Liang Jiugong, go to the study and tell the Crown Prince's tutor to go back. The Crown Prince will not be attending classes this afternoon."
Liang Jiugong replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will go right away."
Kangxi said, "Advisor, you should personally go to Yanxi Palace and bring Baoqing to Qianqing Palace."
The consultant said, "Yes, I'll go and bring my brother back right away."
Kangxi said, "Baocheng, shall I let you meet your brother today?"
Kangxi got up, walked to Baocheng, took his hand, and led him to sit on the dragon throne.
Kangxi: "You haven't met your brother yet, have you?"
Bao Cheng replied, "Father, I have never met my brother."
Emperor Kangxi said, "It's perfect that we met this afternoon. From now on, the two of you can study together in the Imperial Study."
"Today is a good day to get acquainted. From now on, when you two attend classes together, you must not make noise, fight, or argue. Does Bao Cheng understand?"
Bao Cheng replied, "I understand what Father Emperor said, and I will certainly respect my elder brother."
Kangxi said, “Oh, no, you are the Crown Prince. Although he is your elder brother, he is just a prince. He should pay his respects to you. As for being respectful to his elder brother, that is also acceptable.”
After all, Emperor Kangxi valued brotherly love and respect the most.
Inside the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi and Bao Cheng were exchanging questions and answers. Bao Cheng had also been brought back from the Yanxi Palace by the advisors.
When the advisor went to pick them up, Baoqing and Huipin were still together. But that was normal, since Huipin hadn't seen her son for a long time, so of course she clung to him the whole time she saw him today.
The advisor said, "This servant greets Consort Hui. His Majesty has ordered this servant to come to Yanxi Palace to bring Prince Baoqing to Qianqing Palace."
Upon hearing this, Consort Hui asked, "Eunuch Gu, do you know the reason?" Although Huiping knew that it would be beneficial for her child to have more contact with Kangxi, she had only just seen her son today and was a little reluctant to part with him.
The advisor went and explained the reason to Consort Hui.
Since this has nothing to do with secrets, and besides, it's the child of Prince Hui, there's nothing wrong with talking about it.
The advisor replied, "Your Majesty, the Emperor summoned Prince Baoqing so that he could get to know His Highness the Crown Prince better and attend classes with him in the Imperial Study in the future."
Consort Hui understood immediately upon hearing this.
It turns out that the Emperor wanted His Highness the Crown Prince to meet his brother, whom he had never met before.
Consort Hui said, "Oh, since the Emperor has summoned you, then you may take Baoqing back to the Qianqing Palace."
The advisor said, "Brother, follow me."
The advisor then led Baoqing back to the Qianqing Palace.
When you reach the entrance of the Qianqing Palace, you can still hear Kangxi and Baocheng talking inside.
