"...It's not the first time, why are you so excited?" Yin Qingyi couldn't help but laugh at Yinzhen's silly appearance. Although she complained about Yinzhen's foolishness, she felt sweet inside.

"How can they be the same? This is my first child after I became a prince, so the significance is naturally different." Yinzhen was so happy that he wanted to set off firecrackers. He blurted out the news about becoming a prince. Of course, he hadn't intended to hide it from her. He just wanted to give this little woman a surprise. He didn't expect that she would give him a surprise first.

"Prince? You've been granted the title of Prince? When did this happen? How come I didn't receive any news about it?" Yin Qingyi keenly caught the word "Prince" and was so surprised that she sat up abruptly from her chair.

"Slow down, slow down. This imperial decree just arrived. I came here as soon as I received it because I wanted to share this happy news with you. I didn't expect you to make me happy first. Hahaha, today is a double celebration for our household!" Yinzhen quickly helped Yin Qingyi up and then said happily to her.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!" The people of Luoxuexuan were quick-witted; upon hearing Yinzhen's words, they immediately knelt down and addressed him as Your Highness.

"Hahaha, everyone will be rewarded! All the servants of Luoxuexuan will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver! The five servants, including Granny Qiuju, Chunlan, Mingyue, Fengqing, and Xiaojinzi, will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!" In his delight, Yinzhen waved his hand and gave the reward money many times more than that given to the previous servants.

In no time, Luoxue Pavilion became incredibly lively, with congratulatory voices never ceasing. Even Luoying Courtyard, the furthest from Luoxue Pavilion, could hear the commotion.

"What's that noise outside?" Li asked Liu Mei, who was guarding the door, after looking outside but not seeing anything.

"This servant doesn't know either. Judging from the sound, it came from the concubine's courtyard. Should this servant send someone to check?" Liu Mei had naturally heard it as well, but she didn't know what had happened at Luo Xue Xuan either, so she could only cautiously ask the princess for her opinion.

"Luoxue Pavilion? Hmm, go take a look. Remember not to disturb the people at Luoxue Pavilion. Just take a look and know what it is." After thinking for a moment, Madam Li couldn't resist her curiosity and carefully gave the instructions.

"Yes, I understand." Liu Mei nodded and withdrew.

Preoccupied with the commotion at Luoxue Pavilion, Madam Li couldn't concentrate on her embroidery. Putting down her needlework, she walked to the doorway and gazed towards the pavilion, a flicker in her eyes. Could the commotion at Luoxue Pavilion mean something had happened to that wretched woman? Just thinking this made Madam Li want to laugh out loud. It would be best if something happened to that wretched woman. Ever since she gained favor, the women in the inner courtyard had become mere decorations. Forget about serving the master, they couldn't even get close to him. If something happened to that wretched woman, wouldn't the master be everyone's again? The more Madam Li thought about it, the more impatient she became to know what had happened at Luoxue Pavilion. By the time Liu Mei returned, Madam Li had already imagined countless scenarios in her mind.

"How is it? Did that bitch get into trouble?" Madam Li asked impatiently, grabbing Liu Mei's hand, her eyes practically brimming with excitement.

"...Princess, yes, yes..." Liu Mei looked at her princess so excited that she didn't know what to say. How could she tell her that the concubine was not only doing well but was also pregnant again?

"What is it? Tell me! Why are you stammering!" Li was extremely anxious. Seeing Liu Mei like this, she increased the pressure on her hands. Her well-maintained fingernails pinched Liu Mei so hard that she couldn't help but frown. Fortunately, it was cold and she was wearing thick clothes, otherwise she might have been pinched until she bled.

"It's the concubine who's pregnant," Liu Mei said quickly before kneeling on the ground.

"...Pregnant? You're saying that bitch is pregnant again? How is that possible? Didn't she damage her body when she gave birth to those three? How could she be pregnant again? Did you hear me wrong? Did you?!" Madam Li was stunned at first, clearly unable to accept this statement. Then she pulled up Liu Mei, who was kneeling on the ground, and her expression became somewhat deranged. After all, she had just imagined so many possibilities, but she had never thought of this. The shock and disparity in her mind made it impossible for her to accept it. How could she not go crazy?

"This servant, this servant heard it clearly. I was afraid I misheard, so I waited there for a while to make sure before coming back. Oh right, there's one more thing. The servants at Luoxue Pavilion all said something like 'Congratulations, Your Highness.'" Liu hurriedly spoke up, afraid that if she was a second late, she would be strangled by the excited princess. But she quickly thought of another useful piece of information.

"Your Highness? Your Highness... Your Highness! Doesn't that mean Your Highness has been promoted by the Emperor? At least to the rank of Prince of the County. Otherwise, how could the servants of Luoxue Pavilion dare to call Your Highness Your Highness? Hahaha, this is good news, this is good news! Then I'll be the Princess of the Prince of the County! Good, good!" Li Shi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Mei with surprise and joy after muttering a couple of times. She then let go of Liu Mei and laughed heartily. Obviously, Yinzhen's promotion made her very happy. Compared to Yin Qingyi's pregnancy, she cared more about Yinzhen's promotion.

Yinzhen had no intention of hiding the fact that he had been granted the title of Prince, so by the afternoon everyone in the mansion knew that their master had been granted the title of Prince. The whole mansion was very lively, and everyone received some reward or honor.

Since Yinzhen was granted the title of Prince, the scale of his Beile Mansion was naturally no longer in accordance with etiquette. The next day, people from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue came to Yinzhen to discuss the expansion.

Yinzhen only glanced at it, circled one area, and left the rest to them to do as they pleased. He didn't care anymore; he was too busy to deal with these things.

Since Emperor Kangxi ruthlessly purged Yinreng's old subordinates in court, he had lost his energy and spirit. He would often feel unwell, and whenever he felt unwell, he would summon Yinzhen to the palace to keep him company. Yinzhen was practically living in the palace now, but even so, Kangxi's condition did not improve. By November, he was unable to get out of bed at all.

"His Majesty has decreed that from this day forward, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, shall take over the administration of the court!" Early that morning, all the ministers waited in the hall, but instead of Kangxi, they received Liang Jiugong and this news.

“This, this is probably against the rules, Eunuch Liang. Prince Yong is only a prince, not the crown prince. How can he take charge of state affairs?” Immediately, a minister stood up to object.

“My lord, this matter is His Majesty’s will. I am merely relaying the message. It would be useless for you to have any objections to me.” Liang Jiugong looked at the man with a smile.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I just..." The man immediately knelt on the ground. How could he dare to say that he had any objection to the emperor's words? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
