Consort Hui's brilliance lay in not continuing the argument.

This matter ended there, and neither the Dong'e family nor the Magia family were attacked by the Nalan family or the Irgen Gioro family.

This forced Consort Rong and the Dong E family to accept the favor, and for a while, Consort Rong was inferior to Consort Hui.

The Emperor would also think that the eldest son and Consort Hui were sensible, after all, the Emperor is only human.

Humans have seven emotions and six desires. If this matter is not handled properly, it will affect the stability of the court and the harem.

Consort Rong and he had a long-standing relationship. After her tearful plea, Emperor Kangxi softened, thinking that Yinzhi was his and Consort Rong's only son. Consort Rong then asked to have her salary reduced, saying that she had not disciplined him well.

Consort Hui had a powerful maternal family, an eldest son of the emperor, and had also given birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, so Emperor Kangxi was naturally pleased with her.

It would be bad for Consort Hui and Consort Rong to offend either of them, but unfortunately, this whole thing was caused by the Third Prince's wife. At this moment, Emperor Kangxi felt resentment towards the Third Prince's wife.

The third son and his wife must be punished. If the punishment is too severe, they will be her own son and she will be reluctant to punish him. If the punishment is too lenient, Consort Hui will certainly not be happy.

Consort Hui was a woman who knew Emperor Kangxi's predicament. By not dwelling on it, she inadvertently gained Emperor Kangxi's favor.

This is called retreating to advance.

In this palace,

Although the Emperor's favor is elusive and intangible, even a fraction of it is enough to secure a foothold in the palace.

Moreover, Emperor Kangxi would feel guilty towards Yin Zhi because of his current favoritism towards the disappointing Yin Zhi.

You're not at a disadvantage!

Lady Dong'e sent many gifts to the Grand Princess and the Irgen Gioro family.

He said it was to apologize on behalf of his ignorant daughter.

After this ordeal, the Third Prince and his wife's relationship grew even stronger, having gone through thick and thin together. They had developed a bond of camaraderie.

He Zhuo must be feeling quite embarrassed now that he knows.

So, it seems my son and I have become a catalyst for your marital relationship?

This incident had no effect on Hongyu's health whatsoever.

Since the imperial physicians couldn't stay here all the time, Hongyu was personally cared for by Hezhuo. All the medicine had been thrown away, and he was drinking a different kind of nourishing soup prepared by Hezhuo.

It can nourish the body and strengthen bones, but its medicinal properties are mild, so long-term use is recommended, although there are no side effects.

This foreshadowed the later revelation that "Prince Hongyu is physically weak and needs daily nourishment."

No one could find anything wrong with it; even though Physician Liu's medicine had been decocted.

It's just that the medicine that ended up in Hongyu's stomach wasn't the same one.

After this incident, Hongyu and Xiaozhenbao seemed to have grown up overnight.

Having been nourished by spiritual energy in He Zhuo's womb, the two children were stronger and more intelligent than ordinary children. Now they are even more sensible, which makes He Zhuo very gratified.

There is no room for "innocence" in this palace.

Little Treasure will eventually marry into a Mongolian tribe, where she may face isolation and rejection from the entire tribe.

Hongyu is the eldest son and is destined to be the pillar of the family. The sooner they both become sensible, the better.

Although He Zhuo felt a pang of sadness seeing how sensible and considerate the two children were at such a young age, he knew that a doting mother often spoils her children. For their future, he couldn't spoil them, but rather help them adapt to the palace, this great melting pot.

From then on, Little Treasure practiced horseback riding and archery every day, and also began to learn to write.

As a male, Hongyu expressed his desire to protect his mother, older sister, and younger brother. Despite being a little boy, he asked to learn to read.

His small face was full of determination. At first, He Zhuo hesitated whether to tell him his true physical condition.

After all, everyone says he's not in good health. If Hongyu misunderstands and thinks his current state is due to poor health,

Actually, he's in perfect health.

I just didn't know that his condition was a sign of good health; I thought that being unwell was like this.

If you accidentally encounter a similar situation, it wouldn't be good to let it slip.

He Zhuo saw that his son was intelligent and sensible, and after a while...

He Zhuo still told Hongyu his true physical condition and repeatedly warned him not to tell anyone else, not even his father.

Although Hongyu didn't understand, the two of them made a pinky promise and wouldn't tell anyone.

This little man already understands the meaning of a promise.

He Zhuo looked both proud and heartbroken.

I wished time would pass quickly so that once I left the palace, I wouldn't feel so stifled.

But that's a story for another time.

The Irgen Gioro family received news that day that the First Princess Consort had fainted and was in trouble with her pregnancy. The Irgen Gioro Lady came to see Hezhuo the next day.

They didn't receive news of Prince Hongyu's serious illness because the news was immediately suppressed.

After all, Emperor Kangxi had to save face; he couldn't say that his brother's family had harmed his nephew.

He Zhuo has managed to keep things under control, giving his family some time.

After the people from the Irgen Gioro family arrived, Khoja expressed his opinion, hoping that his father would resign from his post voluntarily and at least retain a reputation for not being greedy for power. Otherwise, in the emperor's mind, he would be labeled as power-hungry, ignorant, and forming cliques. How could he expect to have a good ending?
