Ever since Kangxi discovered he could overhear Yinreng's inner thoughts, the father and son duo entered a mode filled with chaos along with a warm and filial relationship.
Yinreng wanted ...
Because Little Twelve's full-month ceremony was held in the first month of the year, in a harmonious atmosphere, Zhang Jiashi shyly stepped out and said, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor, I am pregnant."
Yinreng, who was talking to the eldest brother, looked over suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.
[Wow, the chivalrous Old Thirteen is coming out! ]
Kangxi: What the hell is chivalrous and courageous?
Is his son going to go out and do justice?
However, since Baocheng has such an evaluation, I think this unborn boy must be pretty good.
"Very good, take good care of yourself. After you give birth to a child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, you will be promoted."
Kangxi was usually very stingy with promotions, and he did not say that anyone would be promoted after having a child. But after listening to Baocheng's evaluation, he knew that Little Thirteen must be a good one.
As a father, he is naturally willing to raise the other party's status.
"Concubine Zhangjia and Noble Lady Ding are both from Changchun Palace. One of them has successfully given birth to a prince, and the other is pregnant. This is all thanks to Concubine Jin. You took good care of them."
The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Jin and smiled.
Concubine Jin stood up and saluted, "I thank the Empress Dowager for your compliments. It is my great fortune to be able to live in the same palace with my two younger sisters."
The Grand Empress Dowager nodded. "Now that Little Twelve has just been born, you need to take extra care of her. Concubine Zhangjia is pregnant, so she needs your care as well. But I also hope that you can take good care of yourself and conceive a heir soon."
Concubine Jin smiled and glanced at the Emperor, then looked at the Grand Empress Dowager and said, "I thank the Grand Empress Dowager for your concern. Offspring are all determined by fate, but I will definitely take good care of Concubine Ding and Concubine Zhangjia."
The Empress Dowager nodded and gestured for her to sit down.
After hearing what the old lady said, Kangxi also looked at Jinpin, knowing that the ancestor was deliberately giving face to Jinpin.
"Liang Jiugong, pick out some good things from my private storehouse and send them to Concubine Jin."
Even if she was related to the Hesheli family, she had no children after all, so he could not allow her to be a concubine without a child.
After thanking him again, Jinpin sat down happily.
When I returned to Changchun Palace and sat down in the inner hall, I heard Concubine Ding coming over with the child.
Jinpin was shocked. She came here in the middle of the night with the child in her arms. What if the child got cold?
After Meixiang quickly invited the person in, she saw Concubine Ding put the child directly into Concubine Jin's arms.
"I am grateful for your daily care, Your Majesty, and am willing to hand the Twelfth Prince over to you for upbringing."
Jinpin looked at the little one sleeping in her arms, then looked at Ding Guiren's serious expression, and knew that she was not joking at this moment, but was serious.
"If I accept it, what will happen to you in the future?"
Ding Guiren smiled slightly and said, "If I am destined to have only this one child in this life, I naturally hope that the child can have a good future."
Jinpin gave the child to Meixiang, who, after some hesitation, returned the child to Ding Guiren.
"My Lady Ding, I have already said that I will not steal your child, and I absolutely will not steal it. Not only your child, but even if it is Zhang Jia's child, I will not touch it."
"We all live in the same palace. If you can raise your child peacefully, I will also benefit. As I said before, no matter what happens in the future, don't do anything foolish again."
Concubine Ding looked at Concubine Jin with tears in her eyes. Only then was she truly sure that Concubine Jin would not snatch her child away.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take good care of the child. When the Twelfth Prince grows up, he will definitely be filial to Your Majesty."
With the precedent of appointing a noble lady, Zhang Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was also afraid that the child she had finally had would be snatched away by the queen. The gender of the child didn't matter, as having a child would provide her with a stable life for the rest of her life.
The palace maid Lin Zhu placed a pillow behind her and said, "My lady, please be at ease. From what I can see, our Concubine Jin is not the one who would steal the child."
Zhang Jia smiled and nodded, "Yes, since she doesn't even want the ready-made prince from Consort Ding, it's natural that she would want this little thing of mine, who I don't even know what I am."
Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lady, you will definitely give birth to a prince."
Zhang Jiashi also laughed and said, "Thank you for your good words. If you can really give birth to a prince, I will definitely give you a reward."
Lin Zhu smiled and bowed, "Then I will wait for your reward."
Yinreng cared a lot about the Thirteenth Prince and occasionally sent people to deliver some things to Zhang Jia, which made everyone in the harem curious about when Zhang Jia had established such a relationship with the prince.
Seeing that the prince paid so much attention to Zhang Jia's situation, Jinpin took even better care of her, especially in terms of food and supplements. She provided her with the same treatment as a concubine, which surprised and delighted Zhang Jia.
In Yuqing Palace.
The eldest brother lay on the soft couch, reading Yinreng's memorial while eating grapes.
"Second brother, why are you so concerned about Concubine Zhang Jia? Did she surrender to you?"
Yinreng grabbed the longan beside him and threw it at the eldest brother, "Look at what you are saying. How could she, a concubine of the emperor, surrender to me?"
Boss Yin curled his lips and said, "You know that's not what I meant."
"I advise you to shut up and eat your grapes."
Boss Yin was dissatisfied, but he did not continue the conversation. Soon, Xiao San came over happily with Xiao Si and Xiao Qi.
"Are you all done with get out of class?"
The eldest brother had a new target and waved at the three children.
The three of them first greeted their two older brothers, and then went to the eldest brother.
"The teacher assigned homework today, so get out of class ended early."
Xiao San explained fluently.
A few years later, Xiao San was sent to the prince's residence by Concubine Rong. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager also sent Xiao Si, who was the same age, there.
Now, Xiaosan, Xiaosi and Xiaoqi eat and live together, go to school together and go home together. They are obviously three happy little friends.
"Why did you come to Yuqing Palace?"
Xiao Qi chuckled, "My mother said that my eldest brother is getting married."
Yinzhi raised his foot and kicked, but Xiaoqi dodged it swiftly.
The other two took a few steps back at the same time, staying away from these two people.
Yinreng also raised his head from the memorials, watching his brothers playing and joking around, and suddenly asked, "Big Brother, you're getting married on the second day of April, are you ready?"
Yinreng asked, and the other three children laughed so hard.
Yinzhi, who had been very arrogant before, felt a little embarrassed. "Oh, it's the date set by the Emperor. Anyway... we will get married sooner or later anyway. It's as if you won't get married."
It was rare for Yinreng to see Yinzhi embarrassed. "I heard from the Emperor that your mansion is already built. When will you take us to see it?"
Yinzhi was also unambiguous, "Let's go now, and then have dinner outside and come back."
