However, she still looked aggrieved and squirmed unhappily in the arms of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, making it difficult for the Fourth Prince Yinzhen to rub her lower abdomen.
Duofu's tiny, babyish voice rang out, accompanied by a fake cry.
"I'm not feeling well, and you... are blaming me, waaaaaah."
Fourth Prince Yinzhen looked at Duofu, who was still acting strangely in his arms, and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the pain was gone.
She secretly blamed herself, realizing she shouldn't have said Duofu had a stomachache.
When the pain starts, you're the one who's anxious.
Although the Fourth Prince Yinzhen knew it was his own son causing trouble, he didn't like hearing his whimpering and quickly tried to comfort him.
"It's my fault, my Duoduo, don't cry."
---
Su Peisheng stood outside and sighed, "This is a life worse than a dog's." Listening to the commotion inside, he felt increasingly miserable.
He longed to be treated with such favor, and he also wanted to be a pampered servant.
The envy and jealousy emanating from Su Peisheng almost completely changed his appearance.
Today is another day of envying Duofu.
In the days that followed, Kangxi would occasionally remember to send eunuchs from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to Chengqian Palace to visit the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, and bring some tonics and medicines with them.
The empresses in the harem are always good at judging the situation. Seeing the Emperor's actions, they naturally didn't want to be left behind and all hoped that their actions would win the Emperor's favor. In the past few days, the gifts received by Chengqian Palace have almost filled a small warehouse.
Su Peisheng secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. There was so much tonic and medicine that even if the Fourth Prince Yinzhen were to marry, he still wouldn't be able to finish it all. The concubines in the harem were all going crazy for it, as if whoever sent the most to the emperor would go to her.
Duofu is now living a good life, eating bird's nest three times a day. The bird's nests sent by the Emperor and the concubines in the harem are mainly those that have been checked and are of good quality and have no problems. Most of them end up in Duofu's belly.
After-dinner dessert was transformed into a bowl of bird's nest. Although Duofu had eaten before, he had never been so extravagant, having different flavors of bird's nest for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Duofu patted his round belly. He felt that the red bird's nest was still the best. It tasted like double-skin milk and was sweet. He wondered if it had honey water in it.
The white bird's nest is also good; it has a chewy, bouncy texture and is perfect as a dessert after a meal.
The worst-tasting one was the hairy bird's nest. After Duofu tried it once, he refused to eat it again. Just hearing the name made him feel that it was unclean.
Anyway, when Duofu first heard Su Peisheng say that this was called hairy bird's nest, he carefully examined the bowl of bird's nest from top to bottom, left to right, and right to left. Although he couldn't find a single hair, he didn't feel as satisfied with eating it as the other two types, and the taste wasn't as good.
When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen saw this, he instructed Su Peisheng not to serve this kind of bird's nest anymore, since his son Duofu didn't like it, so he should serve Duofu more blood bird's nest instead.
Su Peisheng smiled bitterly. There wasn't much bird's nest in total. The Emperor had only given him a few in recent times, and even with what was already in the palace, it wasn't enough for this little darling to eat for a few days.
Moreover, these are all for nourishing the master's body, not for Duofu, who has already gained weight and become even fatter in the past few days.
His face was rosy and his body was chubby; he looked perfectly healthy. What did he need to supplement?
Our master should eat more. This illness has depleted a lot of his energy and blood, so he needs to be replenished with bird's nest.
Su Peisheng wanted to offer some advice, but as if he had anticipated it, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen shot him a sharp glare, and Su Peisheng immediately fell silent.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had been lying in bed for more than half a month, feeling unwell all over. Today, he finally felt that he could move. Under Su Peisheng's guidance, he laboriously sat down on the soft couch by the window. Looking out the window, the weather was fine, and the cicadas in the trees were still chirping incessantly. A gentle breeze brushed against his cheeks, causing a ticklish sensation. The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, took a deep breath of the air outside the window, and only then did he feel alive again.
Although he had opened the windows for ventilation these past few days, the smell of medicine in the room was so strong it was like it had been pickled. No matter how many clothes he changed, there was always a faint medicinal scent on him.
Fourth Prince Yinzhen squinted at the sunlight streaming in from outside, smelling the fresh scent of grass and trees. His heavy body felt much lighter; he should recover in another half a month to a month.
The question is, how will Father Emperor arrange things for him? Will he, like the Crown Prince, personally raise him for a period of time?
Although the Fourth Prince Yinzhen knew the chances were slim, he couldn't help but hope. In this palace, who didn't want to win Kangxi's favor?
No matter how mature and composed he pretends to be, deep down he still hopes that his father will show him some mercy.
I turned my head and glanced at Duofu, who was still fast asleep in bed after eating his fill. His fur had grown even more. Perhaps he had been eating and sleeping well lately, because his whole body looked a bit fatter, especially his little bottom.
To save time transforming, Duofu usually only transforms into a baby when it's time to eat. That way, someone will feed him, and he only needs to open his mouth to lie comfortably in the arms of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, and eat his fill with just his eyes closed.
It's more cost-effective to be a puppy when there's time for sleeping and playing. Otherwise, in a few days, he'll have to figure out how to turn back into a human. We can't let this sickly guy who's still not fully recovered cut him every now and then.
Or you could try to get him to cry in private, but neither of those methods is a good solution.
Duofu felt that he was a real master of thrift. He was so virtuous and always considered the needs of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.
Another major point is that his baby body is not fast enough to run, his limbs are weak and limp, and he has no strength, so he can't play much at all.
When he sleeps, he likes to curl up like a pancake. He feels that sleeping on a pancake is not as comfortable as sleeping on a dog's body.
It would make him more comfortable and save him time, a win-win situation, and all four of his paws agreed.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, has recovered a bit and is in much better spirits. He doesn't feel sleepy all the time anymore. Now that he's feeling better, he's thinking about how to win back his father's favor.
He didn't aspire to be like his second elder brother, the Crown Prince; he only hoped that his father, the Emperor, would pay attention to him.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, frowned, his eyes somewhat unfocused, as if he were lost in thought or pondering something.
Su Peisheng, who was serving by the side, felt the wind outside the window getting stronger and stronger, and wanted to persuade his master to go back to bed.
She opened and closed her mouth several times, but never spoke. She simply picked up a thin blanket from the side and gently covered the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, whose eyes were unfocused.
