Qing Yan needs to calm down. Transmigrating is one thing, but becoming an infant? Is this a joke? When she was three years old, she met a jade-carved little boy. Qing Yan's eyes immediately lit...
Inside the imperial tent, Consort Tong had specially arranged for Shu to prepare fruit puree for the two little ones. She was happily waiting for the twins to arrive, as she wanted to see them more often before returning to the capital.
During breakfast, Shu brought over the nanny who was with Yiken'e and said that the Fourth Princess Consort was going to change the way the nannies took care of the children and let the two little pillars eat by themselves.
"Lanya, do you think Qingyan's approach is good?" Kangxi was very interested in Qingyan's approach. The princesses in the palace had developed too soft personalities, and after they got married, they were controlled by the nannies.
“I think it’s good. Qingyan’s method is good. It’s good for the palace maids to learn from it, so that the princesses can develop their character properly and not be unable to stand up for themselves in their husband’s family.” Consort Tong was somewhat disdainful of Kangxi’s methods of raising his daughters.
He himself preferred women who were a bit feisty, while his daughters were even more gentle.
"Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen is a good person, with a good character. If the nannies dare to steal their things, she will definitely treat them well and buy them something good in return," Kangxi said directly.
Pfft!
Consort Tong burst into laughter. The old women, exhausted from all the commotion, made a series of mistakes in front of her, which Consort Tong promptly punished.
"Master, Fourth Master and Fourth Princess have arrived," Li Dequan reported as he entered from outside.
At this moment, the twins had changed their clothes and washed up, and were held in Yin and Qingyan's arms, full of energy.
As soon as the group of four entered the imperial tent, the two children reached out and clapped, their mouths wide open, laughing heartily at Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong.
"Come here, Mafa, give me a hug." Yiken looked at Kangxi with her big, watery eyes, stretched out her two little hands, and made "ee-ee-ah-ah" sounds.
Emperor Kangxi stood up with a smile, picked up the little boy and put him in his arms, a loving smile on his face. Consort Tong covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, then reached out and took the little boy into her arms.
"Xuan Ye, look, Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen has grown teeth!" Consort Tong exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the little white teeth in her mouth.
“Our Yiken’e has grown up too, hasn’t she?” Kangxi looked at Yiken’e in his arms and couldn’t help but laugh.
Consort Tong glanced sideways and saw that the little ones were starting to grow teeth.
"You've taken good care of them," Consort Tong smiled at them.
The two children's cries of "Ah ah!" gradually brought smiles to their faces.
"Do you let the children eat their own breakfast?" Kangxi asked.
Qingyan nodded quickly. The children's independence was enhanced. Under Xiao Guai's guidance, the twins' attitude towards the nannies was different from that of the other princesses. Hutuli Fengsheng Zhala was more likely to give orders.
“Yes, Father, I hope to allow the children to act independently.” Yin Dao took all the blame upon himself.
Kangxi understood that Yinzhi would not have thought of these things; the novel ideas about raising children were probably Qingyan's ideas.
Previously, Fei Yanggu mentioned that Qingyan had tried it on the children of the servants at home, and the results were indeed quite good.
"It seems the effect is quite good." Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. The two little ones stared wide-eyed at the fruit puree in Shu's hands, grabbing it with their little hands, their little faces beaming with joy.
Kangxi held the small wooden bowl of fruit puree in his hands, and Yiken'e was held in his arms. He reached out his little hand, grabbed a handful of fruit puree, and put it into his mouth with a smile. Kangxi did not say anything more and watched the child eat the fruit puree.
Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen nestled in Consort Tong's arms, eating at a pace not much slower than Yinzhen. Kangxi watched the two little ones eating as if in a competition and couldn't help but laugh.
Back then, she only raised Yin and never experienced having two children. Now, seeing the twins fighting over each other, her heart softened.
"Xuan Ye, that's great. The two children don't need anyone to chase after them to feed them at all," Consort Tong exclaimed.
During the greetings, the concubines often complained, and the princes and princesses often made a fuss about meals. Often, after a meal, the concubines and their nannies were exhausted.
“Yes,” Yin replied directly, “Xiao Guai handled it well; the two children know how to behave.”
Inside the imperial tent, the family was enjoying a harmonious time together, with Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong especially basking in the joy of their children and grandchildren.
Kangxi's laughter came from inside the tent. The Crown Prince specially dispatched maids to listen for the laughter around the imperial tent and quickly report to the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince paid special attention to which prince amused His Majesty in the imperial tent and reported it to him.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince and his wife went to the Imperial Tent. The twins amused His Majesty very much." The Crown Prince's expression gradually worsened. Since Prime Minister Suo was dismissed, Yinzhi had rarely spent time alone with Kangxi. In addition, the Crown Princess had not given birth to a legitimate son, and Kangxi had quite a few complaints about her.
"Really?!" The Crown Princess came out from the inner tent upon hearing the news reported by the maid.
The Crown Prince looked coldly at the Crown Princess. If the Crown Princess hadn't been without a legitimate son, he wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.
"All of you, leave!" The Crown Prince waved away the servants, looking at the Crown Princess's gloomy face, a bitter smile appeared on his lips, "If you can give birth to a legitimate son, I can also take the child to reunite with Father Emperor."
In the eyes of the Crown Prince, the eldest son could win Kangxi's heart. After the birth of the twins, Yiken'e spent most of his time by Kangxi's side. Even the number of guards around him was not as many as those around Yiken'e.
Kangxi's repeated exceptions for Yiken'e made the Crown Prince feel that his situation was getting worse, and under the advice of Prime Minister Suo, he caused quite a few troubles.
The knot in their hearts was thus untied, and any slight misstep could bring it up again.
"You've been too extreme in your actions. Listening to your uncle's arrangements is a dead end. Even if you don't have a legitimate son, you can still have a legitimate daughter to enjoy family life. Isn't that what happened with Songkri Yierha?" The Crown Princess herself is not favored, and even her daughters don't have the same status as the Crown Prince's eldest son born out of wedlock.
The Crown Prince looked at the Crown Princess. The eldest daughter was too young and could not show her obedience in front of Kangxi. In addition, the appearance of Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen changed Kangxi's opinion of his granddaughter a lot.
"You're talking nonsense!" The Crown Prince would never admit his mistake, believing that the Crown Princess's words were an excuse for Guarjia to escape.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know perfectly well!" the Crown Princess said coldly.
Later that evening, Yin and Qingyan were sent back to their tents. He heard a report from the Crown Prince's tent that the Crown Prince and his wife were arguing again about the matter of their eldest son.
The birth of Yiken'e seemed to touch a nerve with the Crown Prince, and he often quarreled with the Crown Princess. This was commonplace. The Crown Princess was right. The reason why Hesheli had become like this was because of Prime Minister Suo, and it was also the result of Kangxi's lax attitude towards the Crown Prince.
"Fourth Prince, what's wrong with this Crown Prince? He's even keeping an eye on the Imperial Tent!" Qingyan expressed her suspicion. The Crown Prince was being far too presumptuous!
