By noon, Tong Cheng'er had given birth and everyone knew what was going to happen.

After Emperor Kangxi received the news, all the other masters and mistresses in the palace also learned of the generous reward he had bestowed.

He was given a fine inkstone right after birth; among the other imperial grandsons, only Prince Hongxi from the Crown Prince's family received a different reward.

For other imperial grandsons, rewards were usually only given on the third day after their wedding ceremony.

This alone makes the prince born to Tong Cheng'er stand out from the crowd.

When the news reached the inner palace, people's opinions were divided.

When Consort Hui, Consort Rong, and Consort Yi, who all had grandsons, heard this news, they couldn't help but feel indignant. Why was it that they were all sons and grandsons of the Crown Prince? It was one thing for the Crown Prince's son to be an exception, since the Crown Prince had always been an exception.

But why should Yinzhen, a legitimate son born to a foster mother who was absent and whose biological mother did not care for him, be granted such an exception?

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. These three concubines couldn't swallow or spit out such injustice; they were extremely distressed.

As for the others, many were watching the three imperial concubines make a fool of themselves, since what Kangxi did was indeed something worth talking about.

Suddenly, the imperial harem became lively.

Although Yonghe Palace was sealed off, the joyous news still reached Consort Wuya's ears. Upon receiving the news, Consort Wuya didn't feel particularly happy about becoming a nanny; she only regretted that Tong Cheng'er hadn't died during childbirth.

Seeing her in a daze, the nanny serving her spoke up: "Your Highness, what do you think would be a good gift to send to the eldest son of the Prince of Yong?"

The old woman thought that even if she didn't get along with her son, she wouldn't get along with her grandson. There's an old saying that the younger son is the older grandson. Since the wife of Prince Yong gave birth to the Empress's eldest grandson, she should be given some reward.

Consort Wuya's thought process was truly different from ordinary people. Upon hearing the nanny's words, her face immediately changed: "Shut up! What good could that little slut surnamed Tong have given birth to? She'll definitely be an ingrate just like her father. All my things belong to the Fourteenth Prince, and no one can take them from me."

Consort Wuya's words were rather insane, which startled the old nanny. Fortunately, she was the only one waiting in the room at the moment, otherwise, who knows what trouble might have arisen.

The old woman cried out in terror, "Your Highness!!"

Consort Wuya glared at her fiercely: "Alright, I'm tired today. Since His Majesty has sealed off Yonghe Palace, I'll just pretend I didn't hear the news. You may leave now. I'll copy scriptures and pray for blessings."

They said they were copying scriptures to pray for blessings, but their tone sounded like they were cursing someone, which was quite frightening. The old woman glanced at them and immediately lowered her head: "Yes, this servant will go out now."

After saying that, the old woman left the room.

Inside the room, Wuya Pin sat alone in a chair, her face contorted. The room was dimly lit, making it difficult to see people's faces, but the indistinct faces she glimpsed were unsettling.

Meanwhile, in Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince was preparing to marry his new Crown Princess. Originally, it was not a big deal for Yinzhen to have a legitimate son, but Kangxi gave Meiziyan as a reward for the child.

The reward that was originally meant for his son was now being given to someone else, which made the crown prince uncomfortable.

He knew that thinking this way was petty, but he couldn't help but think about it deeply.

The Crown Prince knew that his father, the Emperor, valued Yinzhen so much that he was sometimes jealous. However, he also vaguely knew that Yinzhen had some unspeakable secrets about his body, otherwise, there would not be only one woman in Yinzhen's harem.

For this reason, even though the Crown Prince felt extremely uncomfortable, he tried his best to tell himself not to think too much about it. But what's going on now?

He was the Crown Prince, so why did Yinzhen's eldest son receive a fine inkstone at birth? When Hongxi was born, he was also given an inkstone, but it was not as good as the fine inkstone.

As for the eldest prince, the third prince couldn't help but feel resentful upon hearing the news.

As for the Fifth Prince, after learning about it, he only felt that Kangxi valued Yinzhen very much, and didn't think much about anything else. However, rather than saying he didn't think much about it, it would be more accurate to say that he dared not think much about it.

When he received the news, he was in front of his wife. He immediately put on a stern face. His wife had been with him for several years. In the past few years, she was completely devoted to him. Even though she no longer had him in her heart, she knew his temperament and thoughts.

"This is outrageous! How can Father Emperor be so biased?"

The Third Prince said angrily.

The Third Princess Consort didn't take it seriously. She wasn't really surprised. Over the past few years, she had seen how well Tong Cheng'er, her fourth sister-in-law, was received by the Emperor and the Emperor.

Now that they've finally given birth to Prince Yong's child, it's not surprising that there's an exception this time.

The Third Princess Consort said calmly, "Your Highness, please don't say that. If someone overhears and it gets back to Father Emperor, it won't be a good thing."

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince glared at her and said sarcastically, "What? I did this to stand up for Hongqing, what do you mean?"

The Third Prince's wife laughed and said, "It's just an inkstone. It's not like we haven't seen one before. Besides, Fourth Brother does his job well, and Fourth Sister-in-law gave birth to an only son. It's understandable that Father Emperor is a little biased. If you were more capable than Fourth Brother, Hongqing would naturally have the dignity he deserves. If you ask me, you can only blame yourself for not being capable enough."

The Third Prince missed his master after hearing this, but he couldn't bring himself to do it; he had no way to deal with this woman.

Finally, all he could do was angrily say, "Shut up."

After saying that, he left.

As for the eldest prince, although he was not comfortable, he quickly adjusted. However, the first wife couldn't stand it. Why was the son she risked her life to give birth to not as precious as the one Tong Cheng'er gave birth to casually?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he was so angry that he collapsed. The imperial physician came to examine him and said that he had excessive liver fire and was depressed, so he needed to rest.

Now look what's happened, all this trouble has gone to him.

So, people shouldn't overthink things, or they'll really make themselves suffer.

As for the Fifth Prince's wife, she was quite open-minded. She was of low birth, and the things her son hadn't gotten, the families of the First and Third Princes hadn't gotten either. What did she have to be angry about?

Furthermore, the situation in the Prince Yong's mansion is indeed special. There is only one woman in the backyard, so the weight of her child is naturally different.

Shumulu didn't notice at first that her son-in-law was eating postpartum meals with her daughter. It wasn't until one day that she saw her son-in-law finish feeding her daughter and then eat her food directly from her bowl.

Shumulu had never heard of a woman being fed by her husband during her postpartum period. Before she could finish being surprised, she saw her son-in-law eating his postpartum meal. Shumulu was at a loss for what to be surprised about.

She felt it was inappropriate, but since her daughter hadn't said anything, she didn't say anything either. Since her son-in-law was willing, it was a good thing to let him know how difficult it was to raise children.

Of course, she was much more satisfied with her son-in-law.

Three days have passed, and it's time for the young prince's third-day celebration.

Yinzhen didn't want to wrong his son. He had a backup plan from Kangxi, so he had no worries and was not short of money. There were no major events in the court at the moment, so Yinzhen decided to make the third-day celebration more lively.
