He Zhuo rolled his eyes. This lecherous man wanted to eat meat, but he insisted on calling it a thank-you gift.

"Grandpa, Little Eight has only just turned one month old."

He Zhuo's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Yin Zhi's head. Yin Zhi knew the rules for his wife: they generally could not have sex for two or three months after giving birth.

He Zhuo looked at this tall man like a large, abandoned canine, staring at you longingly, its tail drooping if it had one.

Looking at it this way, it's true that Yinzhi and Xiaoqi really do look alike when they're being affectionate.

He Zhuo cupped Yin Zhi's face and gave him a passionate French kiss to quench his thirst.

By the end of their kiss, both of them were breathing heavily. He Zhuo's red lips were luscious and tempting. Seeing his wife so alluring, Yin Zhi bit He Zhuo hard, leaving a shallow tooth mark on her lips.

He Zhuo burst into laughter. The two turned around and looked at Ba Baozi, who was already awake and happily blowing bubbles.

Looking at his wife, who was laughing so hard she was bent over, and his youngest son on the soft couch, Yinzhi's heart melted.

What's the point of arguing? Life is so good now.

He also realized that there was nothing to fight for. He couldn't be the emperor anyway. He would be busy day and night, suspicious of this person and that person, and in the end, everyone would be alienated from him. What was the point?

It was already summer of the 41st year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and next year would be the Kangxi Emperor's 50th birthday. He Zhuo thought to himself that it had been a long time since he had sold the jade in his storage ring, so he decided to take this opportunity to sell some of it and make some money.

Soon, more than ten large jade stones appeared on the streets of the capital, all of medium to high quality, including one with spring-like colors.

He Zhuo never expected that the jade with spring-like color was bought by the simpleton Yin Zhi for more than a thousand taels of silver. He Zhuo sold it because the jade was relatively small.

Finally, Yinzhi had three pairs of jade bracelets carved, one for Consort Hui, one for Hezhuo, and one for Xiaozhenbao. Everyone was very happy. The bracelets for the newborns were made into beaded strings, a very long string, and two other bracelets were given to Consort Hui.

Consort Hui's smile reduced the wrinkles on her face. It's said that the ladies in the palace take very good care of themselves. Consort Hui is already over 50, but she looks like she's in her 30s.

The imperial physicians in the palace all had secret beauty and health formulas for the empresses. If a woman was not favored by the emperor and gave birth, she would not be able to obtain these top-quality nourishing and beauty pills, and her appearance would be damaged, making it difficult for her to receive the emperor's favor.

When He Zhuo gave birth to her first child, Consort Hui ordered the imperial physicians to prepare many beauty and health-enhancing pills, which Consort Hui would bestow upon He Zhuo every time she gave birth in the future.

Among them is Baixue Pill, which is known to noblewomen in the capital. It is used to tighten the vaginal canal after childbirth, making it as firm as a virgin's. It also has a pleasant fragrance and is very popular among high-ranking officials and nobles.

The price of this Snow White Pill is quite high. It can be used after childbirth when the lochia has stopped. It has few side effects and can be used for one month, once every three days. One course of treatment costs several hundred taels of silver.

In this respect, Consort Hui was very good to Hezhuo. Among the four consorts, only Consort Hui and the Grand Consort got along the best.

However, it was a two-way street. Every year, a good amount of the fruits, wines, and honey produced in the Hezhuo Garden were sent to Consort Hui. With these things, Consort Hui did not look old.

Consort Rong, who was born around the same time as Consort Hui, already showed signs of aging. They were all a few years older than Emperor Kangxi. Consort Rong was the oldest-looking of the four consorts because she had given birth too frequently and in quick succession.
