However, Fourth Brother's yard is a bit small; he's almost filled it with plants.
Fortunately, they encountered Emperor Mafa, which allowed Emperor Mafa to fulfill his promise.
Kangxi: "...The land I promised you," he paused, and as his eyes scanned the courtyard, he suddenly realized that there were still some places in the courtyard that were not planted.
"Yes, the land I promised my grandson?" Hongxu tilted his little head, looking at Kangxi with expectant eyes.
Kangxi deliberately avoided his gaze and said, "After you finish planting your fourth brother's courtyard, you can choose whichever plot of land in Changchun Garden you fancy."

Although several days had passed, the little boy still repeated to Kangxi every single word he had said.
Kangxi: "..." How did he end up taking a liking to this piece of land—all his flowers are gone.
