I Was Reborn and Raised My Children, Leaving Their Father in a Panic

Tong Jiayu was reborn in the seventeenth year of Kangxi's reign. Before she could grieve for the daughter who had died young, she discovered she was pregnant.

In this life, she did not adopt Yinzhen. Instead, she gave birth to her own son, Yinyu.

When Uya came begging on her knees, holding Yinzhen and pleading to raise him, Tong Jiayu smiled and offered her a plate of pastries. "Having Yinyu is enough for me."

Six-year-old Yinyu recited the Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government backward in the Imperial Study, leaving Kangxi astonished. "This child is just like me!"

Ten years later, Yinyu accompanied the emperor on a campaign against Galdan and distinguished himself in battle.

On the day he returned to the capital, Tong Jiayu saw Kangxi tie a bright yellow silk cord onto Yinyu's quiver with his own hands.

The struggle among the nine princes had yet to begin, but the winds in the Forbidden City had already shifted.
