The bathtub we're using now is the same one that the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, used when he was a child.
Duofu felt that this bathtub was something he couldn't afford before; it was a wooden thing decorated with many gemstones.
When Duofu first saw it, he fell in love with the colorful bathtub; it had so many gemstone colors.
Seeing that he really liked it, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, directly made him a nest by padding it with clean fur, and placed it not far from the room.
The first thing Duofu did when he woke up this morning was to get out of bed and count the gems in his wooden basin. It had become a part of his life. He also stuffed all the gold ingots, beautiful pearls, and unique stones that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen had prepared for him over the years into the wooden basin.
Duofu finally felt that the room was not very safe. He felt that everyone was going to steal his gems. In the middle of the night, he turned into a little baby and secretly pushed the heavy baby bathtub under the bed.
It almost went down, but it got stuck for ages. After a while of thumping and banging, even a pig would have woken up from all that noise.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, still couldn't help but throb with anger whenever he thought about what happened that night.
He just couldn't understand why the dog he had raised since he was a pampered princess.
How could someone have such a disposition?
Being greedy for food and sleep is one thing.
He could understand it as an animal instinct.
He really couldn't understand greed.
If it were simply a matter of liking sparkly things, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen could understand.
but.
Every time the Fourth Prince Yinzhen saw Duofu's greedy dog eyes, they were filled with "mine, mine, mine."
Duofu practically had "I want it, it's mine, it's mine" written all over his head when it came to anything valuable.
Even the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, couldn't help but reflect on himself, realizing that he shouldn't have the nature of being greedy for money, as he didn't usually pay much attention to money.
Moreover, he lacked nothing. Empress Tong provided him with a very good material life. Although Empress Tong has passed away, everything she left behind will be inherited by the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.
It can be said that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was not short of money, and he would not be even when he grew up.
Whenever he saw the dog's eyes shining so brightly, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh and cry. He just gave it to it out of resignation, and if the dog liked it, he would give it more, since he didn't need anything anyway.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, didn't understand anything else.
Duofu actually liked his mother's sparkly jewelry, especially the golden hair ornament. He remembered that his mother once wore a golden pearl hair ornament, which would sway every few steps, and the big pearl on the hair ornament would sway back and forth.
At that time, Duofu's eyes were practically glued to that hairpin; he wouldn't respond no matter how much he was called.
At that time, Consort Tong teased the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, about how he had raised a little money-grubber.
Although afterwards, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen gave one of the gold safety locks from his private treasury to Duofu.
Although Duofu's eyes were bright and sparkling, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen always felt that they weren't as bright as when he looked at his mother's golden hairpin.
It made him very uncomfortable.
The young Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had great worries as he looked at the lump in his arms.
He had never raised a child before, let alone a child who was a monster.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was genuinely a little afraid, as his son, Duofu, had become lazy, greedy, and lustful.
The one in front, lazy and gluttonous, that's just the nature of this little monster; he wasn't raised by him at all.
Even he, the king of rolls, couldn't roll up this salted fish.
Fourth Prince Yinzhen patted Duofu, who was still restless, sitting in his lap.
Duofu shook its head and didn't really pay attention to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen. Its thick, short tail slapped against the ground intermittently, looking quite energetic and giving off a somewhat imposing feeling.
After considering it carefully, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, tentatively spoke.
"Duoduo, do you want me to find a box to pack up all that stuff in your basin?"
Duofu hadn't been listening very carefully at first, but when he heard about his precious basin, his two pointed ears twitched a couple of times.
"Woof woof woof." No, no, it has to be right under my nose. I have to count it every day, otherwise I'll feel empty inside.
"Woof woof woof." Sisi, you have to figure out a way to help me put it under the bed, it's too tall to fit.
That exquisite bathtub was made at a height that was just a tiny bit higher than the height under the Fourth Prince's bed, and that tiny bit was what caused it to get stuck.
This made it impossible for Duofu's precious gem basin to fit under the bed, which made him feel very safe.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, did not seem pleased. He was not satisfied with Duofu's answer. The gentle stroking in his hand did not stop, and his tone became even gentler, clear and refreshing, without a trace of pressure.
"Duoduo, having seen so many people in the harem, which one do you think is the most beautiful?"
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, decided to first take a look at his son Duofu's aesthetic sense.
Duofu was unaware of anything, and when he heard that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen had not answered his question but asked another one.
He clearly had little interest in answering and blurted out his answer without thinking.
"Woof woof woof." Do I even need to say it? Of course, you're the best looking.
"Woof woof woof woof woof woof." This hairstyle seriously lowers your appearance level. You were originally such a handsome, ascetic young man.
"Woof woof woof." But you only have half a head of hair on your head. Even after all these years, I still can't get used to it.
With a thought, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen found himself holding a chubby, smiling baby.
Duofu first climbed into the fourth prince Yinzhen's white blanket on his own initiative, covering his bare bottom.
That's when he started showing off his hair.
Duofu stretched out his chubby hand and touched the soft, smooth hair on his head. His hair was jet black, which made him even more satisfied.
Duofu's two bright, clear, jewel-like eyes were filled with pride and satisfaction.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was initially quite pleased to hear that Duofu was the most handsome boy in the palace.
Although this is not true, not to mention his younger siblings, even his older brothers are all better looking than him.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was quite self-aware of this.
He wasn't ugly, just not as good-looking as some of his older brothers.
Later, when he heard Duofu complain about his hairstyle, he felt a little strange. Everyone has this hairstyle, so what's so ugly about it?
Looking at the woman in front of him, whose head was full of hair, he was reluctant to tell her.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had originally considered shaving Duofu's head because of his age, but seeing how much Duofu disliked his hairstyle, he hesitated. Duofu was such a precious child, with a full head of hair.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, his tone filled with doubt and uncertainty.
"Is it really that ugly? This is how it was throughout the Qing Dynasty, even the Emperor looked like this."
"No one has ever said it's ugly."
