In a world ravaged by catastrophe, the formidable Ye Wanwan is suddenly transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty. After her experiences in the apocalypse, Ye Wanwan no longer trusts anyone.
She was ...
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Empress Dowager looked at the child in Kangxi's arms.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said, "This child really looks like Xuan Ye when he was a child."
The Empress Dowager looked at the child and said, "He's fair-skinned and clean-cut; he'll definitely grow up to be a handsome young man."
To be honest, I don't know why they can say who a child looks like as soon as the child is born.
When babies are first born, don't they all look alike? They all look like hairy monkeys!
How can you tell who looks like whom? But since the Empress Dowager said so, no one dared to refute her.
As for Emperor Kangxi, upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, he immediately felt that the child indeed resembled him and was worthy of being called his son.
Looking at the child in his arms, Kangxi exclaimed three times, "Good, good, good! All midwives shall be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and their wages shall be equivalent to half a year's allowance."
The midwife was overjoyed when she heard about the reward of one hundred taels of silver. One hundred taels of silver was enough for her to live a carefree life for the rest of her life. She immediately said, "This servant thanks Your Majesty for the reward."
Everyone in Jingren Palace immediately expressed their gratitude, saying, "This servant thanks Your Majesty for the reward."
As for the concubines in the harem? Of course, they should congratulate the emperor.
The concubines all said, "Your Majesty, congratulations! Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Imperial Noble Consort!"
"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager! Congratulations to Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!"
Emperor Kangxi said, "Get up."
Emperor Kangxi had not forgotten to ask the imperial physician to take the pulse of the young prince, saying, "Imperial Physician Sun, take a look at the young prince."
Sun Zhiding “嗻”.
After Sun Zhiding took the Sixth Prince's pulse, he knew that the Sixth Prince had no problems at all and was actually very healthy.
All the imperial physicians liked this kind of job; it was easy and the pay was good.
Sun Zhiding replied, "Your Majesty, the young prince is in excellent health."
Emperor Kangxi said, "Very well, then this will be my sixth prince."
Emperor Kangxi usually waited until his children were one year old before naming them, because by the time they turned one, he could tell whether they were healthy and could grow up.
In the early years, too many of Kangxi's children died, so Kangxi came up with a solution: if a child lived to the age of one, he would name them on their first birthday; if a child did not live to the age of one, they would not be counted in the order of birth.
So the concubines were somewhat surprised when they heard Kangxi directly say that this was his sixth prince.
But what surprised them even more, and what made them even more jealous, was what happened next: Kangxi directly revealed the name of the Sixth Prince.
They adopted their children when they were one year old, not to mention that the eldest prince was only named when he was six years old (after returning to the palace).
Emperor Kangxi said, "From now on, the sixth prince will be named Yinyu."
The character "祤" as a given name implies ambition and the ability to achieve great things. It seems that Emperor Kangxi had high hopes for this child.
Although Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was somewhat dissatisfied with Kangxi's decision to name him now, she did not say anything.
Firstly, they didn't want to spoil the fun, and secondly, the imperial physician said the child was very healthy. In addition, Wanwan didn't experience morning sickness during her pregnancy, so they believed the child would grow up to be a healthy baby.
The jealousy of the concubines in the harem was something Kangxi didn't care about at all. He only knew that he and the woman he loved had a child.
Emperor Kangxi said, "Alright, now go back."
The concubines all replied, "Yes."
In a short while, almost everyone at Jingren Palace had left.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Empress Dowager did not leave. Instead, they both hugged the child and played with him, and the child did not cry.
The child's eyes were not open; he was just sleeping quietly.
After watching for a while, I left.
Emperor Kangxi handed the baby to the wet nurse so she could breastfeed it. After Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Empress Dowager left, he wanted to go into the delivery room to see Wanwan.
The delivery room wasn't in Wanwan's dormitory, mainly because Wanwan didn't want to have her postpartum confinement in her own dormitory, as it would make the room smell unpleasant.
So they used a side room as the delivery room, thinking she could finish her postpartum confinement there and then go straight back to her dormitory to rest. How wonderful!
As for Wanwan after giving birth, she thought that it seemed that women in the past, including concubines, would all faint from exhaustion after giving birth.
So she pretended to be asleep after giving birth. Although Wanwan didn't experience much pain during childbirth, she still exerted herself.
I never thought I'd actually fall asleep while I was sleeping.
When Kangxi entered, Tingyu and Tingfeng tried to stop him, but as the emperor, how could two maids possibly stop him?
So I went into the delivery room. It had already been cleaned up, but there was still a smell of blood.
Seeing that Wanwan looked exhausted even though she had been cleaned up, Kangxi kissed her forehead tenderly.
When Wanwan was giving birth, although there were no unexpected events, there were still basins of bloody fluid coming out of the delivery room, and Kangxi's heart was in turmoil.
Fortunately, everything is safe and sound.
Kangxi sat on a small stool beside her, holding Wanwan's hand in his. After a while, he instructed Tingyu and Tingfeng, "Take good care of your Empress."
Listening to the rain and the wind is "yes".
After that, Kangxi returned to the Qianqing Palace.
The main reason is that Kangxi's presence in Jingren Palace was not very useful; in fact, it made things inconvenient.
After Kangxi left, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince Yinzhen rushed to their mother.
His Highness the Crown Prince was relieved when the midwife said that mother and child were safe. He knew that the current Empress Mother was different from his own mother.
Now, Mother has safely given birth to her younger brother.
Yinzhen was still a tiny little boy, with a few tears still on his face, as he took his mother's hand one by one.
