He picked up the closest baby, Hongji, and held the soft, milky-smelling infant. Kangxi's sharp features softened, and he smiled at Yinzhen, saying, "You're really something, managing to raise four children so well. I'll have Liang Jiugong send you some things later."

"It's a blessing that this child can eat so much. It's good that he eats well and grows strong." Kangxi couldn't help but pinch little Hongji's chubby little arm and nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your generous gift. I'll make sure they all eat their fill and grow up healthy and plump," Yinzhen said shamelessly, as if he hadn't been the one who had just spoken of his son.

Yinzhen raised an eyebrow. He knew that his father, the Emperor, had overheard everything he said and was now refuting his earlier comment about his son eating a lot. His eyes darted around, and he looked at the four chubby little dumplings. He hadn't expected this visit to bring such an unexpected surprise. It seemed that from now on, he would bring his sons to visit his mother and father, and try to empty his father's treasure trove.

Qingyin could tell what Yintang was thinking just by looking into his eyes. Coincidentally, she was thinking the same thing, and the young couple smiled at the same time.

The palace was abuzz with talk of the Ninth Prince bringing his wife and children to visit Consort Yi. The concubines were extremely curious about the quadruplets. Unfortunately, Consort Yi was always a loner and not close to any of the other concubines. The concubines, unable to find a reason to visit, suddenly felt a little envious of Emperor Kangxi, who was able to do so openly.

His Majesty is the maternal grandfather of the quadruplets. Just based on that alone, he can easily go to Yikun Palace with a simple request, unlike them who have to find a reason and worry that Consort Yi will refuse to see them.

The concubines, still caught in their dilemma, couldn't find a good reason to visit Consort Yi even after Qingyin and the others had left.

After Qingyin left, many concubines felt regretful, wishing they had been bolder earlier. However, there was more than one chance, since the Ninth Princess Consort would be coming to the palace with her child again. The concubines felt a little better thinking about this.
