Yinreng got up early and followed Liang Jiugong to the imperial kitchen to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Kangxi.

Although he said he did it himself, there were palace servants helping him with every step, and he just watched and gave instructions from the side.

When the noodles were served to Kangxi, he was completely stunned.

He looked at Yinreng in disbelief, then looked at the hot longevity noodles, and was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

"Father, this is the longevity noodles your son made himself. I wish you a long and healthy life."

Kangxi took it and ate the small bowl of noodles in a few bites, then hugged Yinreng and continued to cry.

"My guard has grown up and can even make longevity noodles."

My father had a hard time. He didn't receive love from my father and mother when he was little. He became a widower within two years of his marriage and had to take care of me all by himself.

[Hey, from now on I have to take good care of my father and love him well.]

Just as Kangxi was about to complain about the widower, he heard the following sentence and tears flowed uncontrollably again.

Seeing that Kangxi was so moved, Liang Jiugong also choked up.

It was not easy for His Majesty to raise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince single-handedly. Now that His Royal Highness has grown up and become sensible, His Majesty can be considered to have paid off.

The father and son stayed together for a while, and then they heard Wei Zhu report that all the concubines in the harem had arrived.

During the day, the imperial concubines, princes, and clan members congratulated Emperor Kangxi in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and in the evening, the ministers celebrated the emperor's birthday at a palace banquet.

So, when Kangxi appeared in front of everyone holding Yinreng's hand, the concubines and the princes all bowed and greeted him.

Yinreng looked around and found that the Imperial Noble Consort and Concubine Yi had also arrived. Although their faces were not very good, they were both dressed in their best.

Uya followed behind Concubine Yi, her face was haggard, but her eyes were terrifyingly calm.

[The Uya clan is indeed a difficult person to deal with. Even at this point in her life, she remains so calm.]

Kangxi followed Yinreng's gaze and saw that Uya's eyes fell gloomily on Concubine Yi in front of him, and he immediately frowned.

The reason why he arranged Uya to live in Yipin's bedroom was to ask her to forgive his sins.

But if she did something to Concubine Yi nearby, it might not be worth it.

"I have been ill for a while now, so I'd like to trouble Sister Huifei to take charge of tonight's palace banquet."

The Imperial Noble Consort spoke first, and there was a hint of smile in her eyes when she looked at Concubine Hui.

Tong Jia has always been arrogant, but the wave after wave of blows she suffered after entering the palace had long since worn down her character.

Even if she wanted to fight, she knew that she was powerless to change the situation.

When Concubine Hui heard what the Imperial Noble Concubine said, she was stunned at first, and then smiled awkwardly.

"You are so polite, Your Majesty."

Concubine Hui felt a little uncomfortable.

The Imperial Noble Consort committed such a serious crime, but not only was she not executed, she was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort instead.

If she had known that advancement required poisoning, she would have been able to do it.

Now, after just a few days of glory, the authority to manage the six palaces was taken away again.

It’s really... unlucky.

Concubine Hui lowered her head and drank the flower dew, ignoring the sidelong glances from others.

After some polite exchanges, the imperial concubine took the lead in presenting the gift she had prepared.

A set of hand-embroidered pajamas with the pattern of purple air coming from the east, which is both grand and suitable for one's status.

Kangxi looked very satisfied, but he did not expect that his cousin could be so content to do needlework while being under house arrest.

With the Imperial Noble Consort's example, the other concubines also gave their own gifts according to their ranks.

After sending them all around, Kangxi smiled, but he didn't think any of them was better, he just treated them as normal.

As soon as Yinreng came in, he noticed Yinzhi. The thin young man was wearing martial arts clothes, and it seemed that he was going to show his talent.

"Brother, what gift did you give to the Emperor?"

Yinzhen stepped forward, ready to fight, and said, "Son, I will show you a set of boxing for you, Father."

Kangxi is here to show his interest.

Yinzhen started boxing like a little adult. After he finished a set of punches, everyone applauded and cheered.

Kangxi waved his hand, and when Yinzhen jumped to his side, he couldn't help but raise his little head.

"Father Emperor, is my son's boxing good?"

Kangxi laughed with satisfaction, "Good, Baoqing, this set of boxing is really good. Did Master Wu teach you this?"

Yinzhen nodded and said, "My son told him that he wanted to perform boxing at the Emperor's birthday banquet, so Master Wu taught me this set of boxing."

Kangxi was satisfied and said, "Liang Jiugong, reward Master Wu."

After saying that, he looked at Concubine Hui again and said, "Concubine Hui has done a great job managing the six palaces during this period. I grant you the power to assist in managing the six palaces. From now on, you will assist the Imperial Noble Concubine in managing the affairs of the harem."

Concubine Hui was so surprised that she kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.

She really gave birth to a great son.

The second and third princesses each embroidered a purse, Yinzhi recited a Three Character Classic, and the fourth princess was responsible for laughing.

After one round, Kangxi was in a good mood.

Each child was given a generous reward, and everyone was happy to express their gratitude.

"My brother's child is truly talented in both civil and military matters. I'm so envious."

Prince Chun spoke with a smile.

He had been married for several years but had no children, which became a concern for Xiaozhuang and Kangxi.

"Seventh Brother, next year during the selection, I will choose two more concubines for you."

Prince Chun smiled and waved his hand, "Your Majesty, forget it. I just like these little princes, but as for my own children... let's not rush for now."

[If I remember correctly, Uncle Seven died in July of this year from injuries sustained while suppressing a rebellion.]

Kangxi's hand trembled. The seventh brother... will die this year?
