Emperor Kangxi was delighted! Listening to the court officials praising their son, he felt it wasn't enough. Thinking that the current abundant national treasury was also thanks to his son, he wanted to bestow some rewards upon him.
But he also knew that his son was not short of money, so after thinking it over, he could only try to get a noble title.
Now that his son is getting older and more capable, it's a bit embarrassing that he's still bald.
After some final thought, he issued an imperial edict, bestowing the titles of Prince of the Second Rank upon the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and the titles of Prince of the Third Rank upon the fifth and ninth princes.
This imperial edict touched many people.
The Crown Prince felt the crisis. Only then did he truly realize that his younger brothers had all grown up, especially Yinzhen, who had only been in office for a few years but had accomplished one task after another with increasing skill.

As for the Third Prince, although he was somewhat jealous of how much Yinzhen was valued, he felt quite fortunate about his own title of Prince of the Second Rank.
The Fifth Prince hadn't received the news yet, while the Ninth Prince felt it was like a windfall.
The Ninth Prince knew very well that he was able to obtain this title thanks to his Fourth Brother. He was able to thrive in the business world mainly because of his personality. He was good at doing things and always knew how to repay kindness. Even if he didn't say anything, he was grateful in his heart and thought that he would definitely repay the favor when he had the opportunity in the future.
