Another concubine had also given birth to a daughter for the Eighth Prince, and both of them were arranged by the Eighth Prince's wife. However, this was never mentioned to the public, and it was the Eighth Prince who refused to bestow a princess title upon her.

Because of the Eighth Prince's exclusive "love," his wife never explained it to the public, so Emperor Kangxi disliked her very much, believing that she was controlling his son.

According to He Zhuo, the Eighth Prince's wife has trapped herself in this "love" situation.

However, only the person drinking the water knows whether it's hot or cold; how can we know if the Eighth Prince's wife wasn't willing?

Although the Third Prince's wife loved to show off, she sometimes liked to provoke He Zhuo, the First Prince's wife, and also liked to oppose the Fourth Prince's wife.

However, the Third Prince's wife can be said to have had the most fulfilling marriage among the princes' wives. She gave birth to two sons and two daughters and was favored by the Third Prince for ten years.

However, both the eldest son and eldest daughter of the legitimate wife died. Not long after Hongqing died in the 40th year of Kangxi's reign, the eldest daughter born to the Third Prince Consort also died young. The Third Prince Consort no longer liked to show off or provoke this or that as before, and always sat silently by herself.

Last year, the Third Prince requested that Lady Tian be made a secondary consort. Given the Third Prince's original temperament, she would definitely have made a fuss, but nothing has happened. I wonder if she has given up hope. It seems that the Third Prince doesn't care anymore.

Needless to say, the Fourth Prince's wife was also a good match. The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was a devoted man, but his devotion was reserved for his concubines. In this respect, the Third Prince was better than the Fourth Prince.

Everyone knows that he now favors Lady Li, and the Fourth Prince's wife only has the prestige of being the principal wife.

The Fourth Prince also has an eldest son, but it is estimated that the son will soon be gone. Honghui is eight years old this year. Hezhuo has never thought of taking action. If Yinzhen is still the next emperor, and he takes action to save or interfere with Honghui's lifespan, the good things will not be attributed to Hezhuo, but a lot of bad things will happen. It will be related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty and will generate a lot of karmic obstacles. It might even lead to his soul being scattered.

He Zhuo wanted to raise his child properly and then focus on his cultivation; he wouldn't concern himself with this matter.

Of course, if the parents themselves realize something is wrong and save the child, that's a different story.

However, this cannot be revealed by Hezhuo's words or even hinted at. Although any of the princes could potentially become the next emperor, if Yinzhen were truly the next emperor, and Hezhuo were to speak of Honghui's calamities, he would probably be struck by lightning.

This is tantamount to revealing a secret.

The Fourth Prince was laughing heartily. Of course he was happy; he had just had another son. Consort Li had given birth to the Third Prince of the household, a healthy child. How could he not be happy?

Fifth Prince's wife has always been like this. From the time the marriage was arranged, Fifth Prince has disliked her. He is a coward and cannot defy his father, so he takes his anger out on his wife.

Like the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince also favored his concubine, Lady Nalan. His first three children were all born to her.

After all that, it seems that among the people at this table, only the First Princess and the Eighth Princess still have the Emperor's favor. I wonder how long the First Princess's favor will last. I heard that this Shumulu is a beautiful woman with fair skin and is skilled in riding and archery.

He Zhuo could sense their schadenfreude; indeed, happiness is found in the suffering of others.

He Zhuo had a few words he didn't know whether he should say or not. Hadn't he heard that being without desires makes one invincible? He Zhuo ignored the strange feelings in his heart.

However, the First Consort had given birth to six sons, a number that none of the women present could match, and thinking about it made her feel somewhat depressed.

He Zhuo's table ended in this strange atmosphere, a silent atmosphere where no one spoke. He Zhuo greeted them once at the beginning, but then became too lazy to say anything, happy to let them interpret it as him drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
