The little baby, Duofu, felt his aesthetic sense being questioned. His clear, silly eyes on his chubby face were full of displeasure, and his chubby face unconsciously wrinkled up. He spoke with an unconscious smugness and a hint of sarcasm.
"Your hairstyle is simply the ugliest hairstyle in history."
"No one can resist you. You shaved off half of your perfectly good hair. How ugly is that?"
"You're lucky, you're naturally good-looking. It's those who are ugly who suffer, and with this awful hair, they're just ugly to an unprecedented degree."
………
At this moment, Duofu turned into a chatterbox, expressing his deep resistance and dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty's "money-tail" hairstyle.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, narrowed his eyes. He felt he had been too kind just now. Since his son, Duofu, disliked him so much, he would wait until Duofu reached a certain age.
He absolutely has to give him a haircut like this. His owner has done it, so how can his beloved pet not follow suit?
Duofu was unaware of the danger approaching him, and with his full head of black hair, he swaggered around right under the nose of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, smiled slyly and flicked Duofu's forehead twice with his long, slender fingers.
Before Duofu could react, he was suddenly flicked on the forehead. His big head was full of questions, and his two big fox eyes were filled with confusion.
Duofu was puzzled as to why the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, would flick his forehead for no reason.
Fourth Prince Yinzhen looked at Hua Li, this still bewildered little baby, and felt that he was getting older and older. How could he still be arguing with a child?
Fourth Prince Yinzhen quickly and solemnly explained that he had just seen a flying insect on his forehead.
Duofu actually believed it and even asked the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, to check if there were any other insects on his head.
Looking at the adorable little baby Duofu in his arms, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was completely speechless. So what if his hairstyle was ugly? He was the only one who didn't mind.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, asked Su Peisheng the same question many times afterward.
Is my hairstyle really that ugly?
Su Peisheng always had a bitter face, constantly complaining in his heart about that bastard Duofu, who had caused him so much trouble.
Su Peisheng could only use Kangxi as an example while saying that Duofu was a monster, perhaps because his aesthetic sense was different from that of ordinary people.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was never satisfied with this explanation, and before long he would ask a similar question again.
This really made Su Peisheng a bit depressed. You're a prince, why are you complaining about whether your hairstyle looks good or not?
The emperor always had this hairstyle; which man in the imperial court or harem didn't have this hairstyle?
---
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, spent his most carefree and happy childhood in Chengqian Palace. Every day he would wake up and play with his son, Duofu. He had plenty of time to spend with Duofu, without the mess and intrigues of the palace behind him.
Consort De, of the Uya clan, has been sending people to Chengqian Palace quite often lately, bringing many gifts. However, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, hasn't even looked at any of them; the sensible Su Peisheng has taken them away and dealt with them.
The only trouble for the Fourth Prince Yinzhen during this period was his birth mother, who, like a fly that was hard to shake off, would send people to Chengqian Palace for no reason at all.
He was doing well in everything else. He had received news that his father, the Emperor, planned to have him study with his second elder brother, the Crown Prince. This news was something to make him happy.
The Crown Prince's second brother did not study in the Imperial Study. Instead, his father, the Emperor, hired other tutors to teach him, and the Emperor himself would occasionally give him lessons.
This was like a huge windfall; the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was in a better mood every day. In just a few days, he would be able to go back to school.
The problem is that his son, Duofu, can no longer run around the yard like he does now.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, doesn't have a good way to completely resolve Duofu's identity issue.
Unless his imperial father personally bestows upon him a dog, then his skill level is high enough that he could once again exchange the crown prince for a raccoon dog.
In that case, his Duofu could take people out for a stroll.
Although the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was very worried, he would not stop it, but would simply send more people.
Moreover, after this incident, there shouldn't be anyone in the harem who would be so foolish as to touch his dog again, especially one bestowed upon him by the Emperor.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, knew he was being a bit delusional. How could his father, the Emperor, possibly bestow a small dog upon him personally?
Fourth Prince Yinzhen sighed, picked up his homework from the table, and began to roll it up carefully.
The mountain will straighten itself when it reaches the bow of the boat; the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, believed there would always be a way.
For the time being, we can only ask Duofu to stay locked in his room.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, also wanted to carry his good fortune with him.
But because of the abundance of good fortune on his body, all his attention had to be diverted to this person, making it impossible for him to concentrate on his studies.
Especially since he has a lively dog, you can forget about getting it to stay quietly on your body.
He can climb from the bottom to the top, and then climb from the top to the bottom again.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of joy. He was very happy; his son, Duofu, was lively and energetic, possessing a strong vitality that brought joy to anyone who saw him.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, decided to cling tightly to his Second Brother, the Crown Prince. His father's intention was clear: he wanted him to follow the Crown Prince and perhaps even assist him when he grew up.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, did not feel unhappy at all; he was quite satisfied with the decision.
From a young age, he was taught by Emperor Kangxi to be a virtuous minister, and he also felt that there was nothing wrong with being a prince of the future Qing Dynasty.
Just like his uncle Fuquan, he was a wise and virtuous king with a high status, and was also highly valued by his father, the emperor.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, dreamed since childhood of becoming a wise prince and assisting his elder brother, the Crown Prince.
This incident involving Duofu completely ignited the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's desire for power. If he had power, no one would dare to bully his pet dog.
If Duofu was raised by the Crown Prince's second brother, he didn't believe that Consort Yi would dare to kill him. She might even force his ninth brother to personally admit his mistake and apologize to their father.
He can't compete with being pampered, so he has to try to do things in other ways.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, decided to follow the Crown Prince closely from now on. As long as the Crown Prince doesn't fall out of favor, he, as his advisor, will certainly not fall out of favor either.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, looked at the leaves falling in the wind outside the window, and for the first time, his eyes revealed a desire for power. Power really is a wonderful thing.
