"Sister-in-law, you've arranged a great program."

"Hey, firstly, it's your eldest brother's 40th birthday, and secondly, it's a good opportunity for us brothers and sisters-in-law to get together. It's not as convenient to visit each other as it was in the palace after we left and established our own residences."

Having accompanied the Crown Prince through a period of deposition and reinstatement, the Crown Princess has become much more open-minded. Previously, she had been somewhat aloof, but now she chats and laughs with everyone in a friendly manner.

That makes sense. The Crown Princess has no sons of her own, only a daughter. Although the Crown Prince respects her greatly, he doesn't really dote on her.

So, let it go.

Even if the crown prince were to ascend the throne by some stroke of luck, she would only be a hardworking empress.

If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate.

Moreover, judging from the Emperor's attitude and the many brothers who are eyeing him covetously, it's hard to say what will actually happen.

"Fourth sister-in-law, why didn't you bring Hongchen and the little princess?" Hezhuo said.

"The child is naughty. We'll bring him out when he's a little older so he can meet his aunt and all the other aunts."

Third Princess Consort: "Fourth sister-in-law, you've kept it hidden too well. I've only seen your Hongchen when he was one year old and one month old. My master said he looks exactly like the Fourth Master."

Little Baozi Hongchen bites his handkerchief: *sobs*

Because I look like my father, every time I go out, strange aunties and uncles come to tease me...

Fifth Prince's wife chimed in, "Yes, our master said so too. He's just like the Fourth Prince, with a chubby face and a cute appearance."

Eighth Prince's wife: "Let alone you, I live right next door, it's a rare sight for me too."

Eighth Prince's wife had been married for many years but had never given birth. Hearing everyone talking about Fourth Prince, she felt a pang of jealousy and wanted to change the subject.

"Sister-in-law, you've hired a great cast! This Wu Song is portrayed with such power and might!"

"Eighth sister-in-law, I'm glad you like it. You've been listening to this kind of opera for too long. Let's change things up and have some martial arts. There's also an acrobatic troupe coming up later. We're all family, so as the eldest sister-in-law, I won't make any special separations today. We'll just separate the men and women with a screen so we can all enjoy the show together."

"Oh, by the way, this opera troupe was recommended by Ninth Master."

Women get together and chat about food, clothes, jewelry, and so on, having a great time.

He Zhuo and his wives were chatting enthusiastically, but they didn't notice the Mongolian girl brought by the Tenth Prince's wife, whose eyes were shining as she looked in the direction of Yin Zhi.

Everyone enjoyed watching the opera together, and then watched the acrobatic troupe.

The performance was well-received, with thunderous applause. Several of the wives also wanted to invite them to their residences, so He Zhuo had his men take the wives' eunuchs and maids to the acrobatic troupe.

Because of the need to fix the loopholes in this small world, He Zhuo stopped hiding it so much.

The sixth prince, Yinzhen, was fond of business, and Hezhuo encouraged him to spend more time with the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince, Yinzhen, was disliked by Emperor Kangxi because of his fondness for gold and silver, which the emperor considered to be competing with the people for profit.

His little nephew came up to him, wanting to play together, so he was naturally happy to let him join in.

At first, it was out of respect for his elder brother and sister-in-law, but later they discovered that this kid really had a talent for business. Ninth Master chuckled, patting Sixth Brother on the shoulder, and said frankly, why isn't he his own son?

Otherwise, they would have someone to carry on their legacy.

Xiao Liu Hongxiang also received a private property worth 10,000 taels of silver from his mother when he was 13 years old. Now, just over a year later, it has doubled in value to more than 20,000 taels.

That's quite a skill!
