"Good, I like the princess too!" Although Kangxi regretted that she was not a prince, he thought again that he already had four princes, and with the princess, there would only be three. Moreover, there were pregnant women in the harem, and there would only be more in the future. After seeing the little princess, he let everyone return to their respective palaces.

In the eighteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, good news arrived at the imperial court at the very beginning of the year: the rebellion in the northwest had been quelled, and the emperor would soon be able to return to court.

"Your Majesty seems to be in a very good mood today?" Wanyi couldn't help but ask, as Kangxi had been smiling ever since he entered Yongshou Palace.

"I was wondering when Wan'er would finally find out!"

Emperor Kangxi also wanted to share this good news with Wanyi, but she hadn't asked yet, so he lingered in Yongshou Palace, waiting for Wanyi to ask.

"What made His Majesty so happy?" Actually, Kangxi sometimes called Wanyi "Fourth Prince" when no one was around, but Wanyi didn't call him that much.

"Take a guess!" Kangxi said, feigning profundity.

"I won't guess, as long as Your Majesty is happy!" Wanyi said with a proud expression, as if he had come to tell her.

"You naughty girl, don't corrupt my son!" Kangxi stepped forward and touched Wanyi's belly.

"Your Majesty, how can you be so sure it's a prince? What if it's a princess! I hope it's a princess. We already have a fourth prince!" We want both a son and a daughter!

"Alright, princess it is!" Anyway, he doesn't lack sons, and besides, it might be a son! There's nothing wrong with going along with her now.

"I just want to give the Fourth Prince a little sister!" Wanyi said with a happy face, her maternal love so radiant it almost blinded Kangxi.

"Alas, the Northwest has been pacified. I intend to hold a banquet to reward the three armies. In addition, Galdan's envoy will also come."

Kangxi changed the subject, saying that Wan'er's appearance just now was extremely alluring!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Northwest has been pacified, and the recapture of the Three Feudatories is only a matter of time!"

In the previous life, after Emperor Kangxi rewarded the three armies, he immediately sent the army to support Hunan. In just two short years, the Three Feudatories were brought back.

"That's why I'm happy. Besides, my fourth son is turning one year old, and I plan to throw a big celebration!"

Emperor Kangxi made this decision after careful consideration. He kept the baby's third-day celebration and full-month celebration simple, but he would hold a grand celebration for his first birthday.

"The Fourth Prince is still young. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to hold a grand first birthday celebration?" Wanyi thought. If Yinzhen's first birthday celebration was even more extravagant than that of the previous Crown Prince, it would inevitably attract attention, and Yinzhen would be in danger.

"Why would Wan'er think like that?" Kangxi asked in confusion. Isn't everyone supposed to do the best for their own child? To make everything better than others? Why is it different when it comes to Wan'er?

"I'm just worried that the Fourth Prince is too young to handle such an honor!" Wanyi explained.

"So that's how it is!" Wan'er is so sensible; she truly thinks of the child in every way.

"Yinzhen is a son of the dragon and a grandson of the phoenix. I will just celebrate his first birthday with the normal ceremony for a prince. This way, it won't be too glorious, but it will still be grand enough!" Originally, he wanted to add a little more, but since Wan'er said so, he would just go with the normal ceremony.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" That's fine too.

"Your Majesty, the Empress's dinner is ready!" At this moment, Furong entered, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Before we knew it, it was dinner time again. Time really flies." Kangxi said, standing up and swinging the eighteen coins in his hand. He also came over to help Wanyi.

"Your Majesty has been staying here with me for most of the day. With someone to chat with, how can you not have a good time?" Wanyi said irritably.

"Really? Come and have some soup!" Emperor Kangxi was unusually happy; couldn't he even take a short break? He just wanted to spend time with Wan'er; he still had to stay up late to review memorials that evening!

"Ugh!" Kangxi had just placed a bowl of soup in front of Wanyi when she smelled it and, unable to stand even the slightest fishy odor, she immediately began to gag.

"What's wrong? Why is she reacting so strongly all of a sudden? Quickly, go and fetch the imperial physician!" Wanyi's actions startled Emperor Kangxi.

"No need, I'm fine. It's just that the soup smelled a bit fishy, ​​and I overreacted!" Furong immediately moved the listener away from Wanyi.

"What kind of soup is this? I don't smell any fishiness at all!" Kangxi still didn't believe it and took a sniff.

"Your Majesty, it's turtle soup, supposedly a tonic for Your Majesty. The Imperial Kitchen has also consulted the Imperial Physician, and it's safe for pregnant women to drink!" Furong explained. However, what she didn't know was that pregnant women shouldn't drink turtle soup.

"Your lady's reaction is too strong, she definitely can't drink it, so take it away!" Emperor Kangxi wasn't the kind of person who would force a pregnant woman to drink something just because it's good for the child; if she didn't like the smell, she could just eat something else.

"Your Majesty, it's a pity to let it fall apart. Why not give it to the servants below so they can have a taste?" Wanyi suggested after they had recovered somewhat.

"That's good, this way we won't waste any!"

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction at Wanyi. She had won people's hearts without wasting anything. She was indeed his good Wan'er. In fact, the turtle soup returned to the imperial kitchen ended up in the servants' stomachs, but Kangxi didn't know that.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!" Furong led the way in bowing to Kangxi.

"A first birthday celebration?" Not long after Kangxi left Yongshou Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort also received a notice from Kangxi that he would hold a first birthday banquet for the Fourth Prince.

“Yes, Your Highness, the celebrations for the first birthday will be the same as those for other princes. It's just that we didn't have big celebrations for the Fourth Prince's third-day celebration and full-month celebration before, so we'll make up for it this time,” Ningdong explained to the Imperial Noble Consort.

"Hmm, I understand. I'll think about it!" I'll think about what to do and make sure it's done perfectly.

"Please invite Consort Wen over tomorrow. I'm too busy with the banquet. Consort Wen is familiar with Consort Chen and has seen the Fourth Prince many times. I think it will be even better with her help." The Imperial Noble Consort suddenly pulled Consort Wen along, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Yes, this servant remembers." Ningdong knew that the Imperial Noble Consort must have her reasons for doing this.

Meanwhile, Consort Xi, of the Hesheli clan, was also eyeing the first birthday banquet.

"The Fourth Prince's first birthday banquet, doesn't that mean the Crown Prince will also be there?"

Consort Xi had been looking for an opportunity to get close to the Crown Prince, but Emperor Kangxi protected him so well that she had no chance at all. She thought that this time should be a good opportunity.

“Your Majesty, in principle, the Crown Prince, as the elder brother, should be present.” Dai Tao thought that the royal family valued harmony among brothers, and the Emperor would naturally be happy to see such a scene.

"That's good. We don't have much time left, so we need to make a good plan!" The burning passion in Consort Xi's eyes made her sweat even in the cold air.

Once the news of the first birthday banquet spread, the Imperial Noble Consort and Consort Wen quickly arranged the schedule together, and everything proceeded smoothly.

"Red looks really good, you should try it!"

With her pregnant belly protruding, Wanyi half-squatted down, coaxing Yinzhen to put on the clothes. Actually, Yinzhen had already picked out a blue one, but Wanyi felt it wasn't festive enough, so she asked Yinzhen to wear pink. However, Yinzhen refused, so she had to settle for red instead.
