Early the next morning, Emperor Kangxi received news in the Hall of Mental Cultivation that his fourth prince, Yinzhen, who had been unconscious, had woken up the previous night.
The imperial physician has checked your pulse. As long as you wake up, there's nothing seriously wrong. You just need to take good care of your body afterwards.
When Emperor Kangxi heard this news, he was indeed relieved. If his cousin had passed away soon after, and then the son she raised had also passed away, he would have been restless for a long time.
Emperor Kangxi specifically instructed people to take good care of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, during this period. Recently, he had been busy with court affairs and had not had much time to visit the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, at Chengqian Palace.
However, this could just be an excuse. If it were His Highness the Crown Prince who was ill and bedridden, Emperor Kangxi might have suspended court for several days and stayed by His Highness's bedside every day.
Ultimately, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's position in Kangxi's heart was just so-so, but fortunately there was still verbal concern.
Kangxi knew that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen could now eat some easily digestible food. He felt a little better about his impulsive decision to change the imperial genealogy for the Fourth Prince Yinzhen yesterday, at least it had some effect.
Kangxi looked at the booklet in his hand, his eyes somewhat glazed over, his thoughts drifting far away.
In any case, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen could never truly threaten the Crown Prince's position. Kangxi thought of the news he had heard yesterday that his beloved Crown Prince was throwing a tantrum in his palace, seemingly unhappy about him altering the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's imperial genealogy.
Whenever Emperor Kangxi thought of his crown prince who lost his mother at a young age and was raised by him with the utmost care, he couldn't bear to scold him in the slightest.
Kangxi glanced at the affairs of the previous dynasty that were almost finished on the table, thinking that he would go to Yuqing Palace to take a look later. Baocheng was still throwing a tantrum. He was already so old and of marriageable age, but he was still like a child, throwing tantrums at the drop of a hat.
With a helpless smile on his face, Kangxi gently shook his head, his eyes full of doting affection.
He just couldn't understand why his Crown Prince Bao Cheng was so insecure. In the entire court and the harem, everyone knew that no prince could compare to him. Even if all the others were added together, in Kangxi's heart, the Crown Prince he had raised himself was probably still more important.
That was the only bloodline left to him by his beloved, whom he had carefully raised from childhood, and who had now grown into a handsome young man.
Everyone would praise him, saying, "What a handsome young man!"
His Bao Cheng was handsome, elegant, and graceful. Every gesture he made exuded a noble air, and he naturally possessed the demeanor of someone in a superior position.
Emperor Kangxi felt that he should pay more attention to his crown prince, perhaps because he hadn't shown him enough favor. He thought he would send Liang Jiugong with a batch of rewards to the crown prince's Yuqing Palace later to reassure him.
Kangxi's heart was completely biased towards the Crown Prince, and he didn't care about the lives of the other princes and princesses at all.
Perhaps those weren't raised by him personally, so his feelings for them weren't that deep. He treated them like cats and dogs, showing concern only when he remembered them and ignoring them when he didn't.
He always felt that his Crown Prince Bao Cheng had lost his mother at a young age and lacked maternal love, so he gave double the love and poured it all into the Crown Prince he was raising.
Kangxi's eyes showed some anxiety. He glanced at the remaining memorials and processed them much faster than if he had been acting on his own.
Emperor Kangxi wanted him to go see his crown prince as soon as possible.

In Chengqian Palace, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen woke up early in the morning, but he did not call anyone in to serve him. He just stared blankly at the baby in his arms who was still fast asleep and oblivious to the world.
All of this was not a dream. Early in the morning, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, still felt a little dizzy.
Feeling the real presence in his arms, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's eyes were filled with joy.
Hearing the even, smooth breathing beside him, accompanied by a little snore, the fourth prince, Yinzhen, unconsciously revealed his dimple on the right side.
After a night's rest, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, is much better than yesterday, at least in terms of his mental state.
It might also be because of Duofu's good fortune that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was happy, and his spirits naturally improved.
His body was still as weak as ever. Lying in bed, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen had no strength to get up. He had been in bed for too long and had been sick for a while, so he was extremely weak.
With just that slight movement, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, felt a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Fourth Prince Yinzhen looked at his emaciated body, which seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him over, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, lay down weakly again and reached out to shake the bell by the bedside.
Su Peisheng stood at the door early in the morning, full of energy, and heard the sound of a bell coming from inside the room.
He quickly opened the door, followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids carrying toiletries.
They all kept their heads down, their eyes only looking at the tips of their shoes; not one of them dared to raise their head.
Su Peisheng quickly walked to the bedside, paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Duofu had turned into a baby yesterday, and he didn't know if Duofu was still in the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's bed.
Whether it's a baby or a puppy, it's important not to let a third person see them.
Su Peisheng quickly turned his head and instructed the eunuchs and palace maids to leave their belongings behind and all guard the door.
The eunuchs and maids carrying toiletries exchanged glances with their heads down, and without any hesitation, they placed the toiletries in order and quietly left the room one by one.
Su Peisheng looked at the closed door and breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly hung up the curtains for the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's bed and saw a small bulge next to him. He knew that must be Duofu's spot.
Seeing that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen had lifted half of the quilt, revealing Duofu's chubby, fair face, thankfully there were no scars on that handsome face.
Otherwise, Su Peisheng felt that his master would never let the Ninth Prince go in his lifetime.
Although they should be considered enemies now.
Su Peisheng thought to himself.
Su Peisheng quickly helped the Fourth Prince Yinzhen change into a new set of undergarments. After the washing and grooming were completed, Su Peisheng tactfully served him a cup of honey water.
My master has been drinking bitter medicine lately, and he must really need a cup of sweet honey water.
When Su Peisheng first learned that his master, who always had a cold and stern face, actually liked sweets, he was incredulous.
How could he have imagined this?
My own son, who likes to act mature and stable, actually likes sweets that children eat.
