"Liang Jiugong, go to the prince's residence and bring my decree. The Third Lady's child is my first legitimate grandson. I am very happy. I will name him Hongqing, hoping he will be bright and confident."

"yes."

On the way to the prince's house to deliver the imperial edict, Liang Jiugong was sighing about Mu Sili's good luck. If the eldest wife had such luck, Concubine Hui would have worshipped her long ago.

Unfortunately, the first wife was not the third wife after all, and she could not match her luck.

In the prince's residence, Rong Fei was so excited when she learned that Kangxi had given a name to her eldest grandson.

Even the eldest grandson born to the crown prince was not given a name until he was one month old. It turned out that Kangxi valued his direct descendants the most.

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Liang. I will go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to express my gratitude on Hongqing's behalf."

"You are so polite, Concubine Rong. Could you please let me take a look at Prince Hongqing?"

"Of course you can, Third Brother, take Hongqing to show him to Eunuch Liang. If Hongqing hadn't just been born, I would have wanted to take him to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to show him to the Emperor myself."

Liang Jiugong smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Hongqing, who looked very much like Yinzhi. Prince Hongqing is so good-looking.

When the third prince was born, the emperor was very fond of him. If he saw Prince Hongqing, who looked exactly like the third prince, he would probably favor the third prince even more.

"Prince Hongqing is exactly like the Third Prince. When I see him, I think of the Third Prince when he was just born. He was also a tiny little ball, and now he has become a father."

Yinzhi looked at Hongqing in his arms tenderly. This was the continuation of his bloodline, and he would protect this child well.

"What Liang An-da said is true. I can now stand on my own."

"I have to return to the Qianqing Palace to serve. Then I will inform the emperor about Prince Hongqing's situation."

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Liang."

After Liang Jiugong left, Rong Fei and Yinzhi continued to tease their new grandson.

"I am so happy. I was not prepared for Li'er to give birth to a prince as her first pregnancy, but I didn't expect her to be so determined and give birth to a prince.

Third brother, mother is telling you, treat Li'er well. If you dare to treat her badly, mother won't care whether you are her biological son or not.

After all, my mother already has a grandson, so a son is naturally not that important."

Yinzhi was originally very happy that he had a son, but after hearing what Rong Fei said, he suddenly realized that having a daughter was not bad.

At least if he had given birth to a daughter, Concubine Rong would not have said that she would rather have a son than a grandson.

"Don't worry, mother. I will treat Li'er well."

"Alright, Yanting, carry Hongqing in and tell Li'er that I'm here and I won't let her suffer any injustice."

"Yes, I understand."

After Yan Ting brought Hong Qing in, Concubine Rong left. She wanted to find Concubine Yi. Her daughter-in-law caused her own daughter-in-law to give birth prematurely, and she must let her severely punish the Fifth Lady.

Although Yinzhi would take action against Tara, he could not let the Fifth Lady go either.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi already knew that the Fifth and Seventh Concubines had caused Mu Sili to give birth prematurely.

Her whole face was filled with anger. That idiot shouldn't have agreed to let her marry Yinzhi in the first place.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Fifth Lady certainly didn't want this to happen. It's time for Third Lady to give birth. Otherwise, why would she give birth at this time?"

The person who spoke was Concubine Yi's first-class maid Qiaoyi. Since the Fifth Lady married into the palace, she had received many benefits, so she naturally had to speak for the Fifth Lady.

Concubine Yi suddenly frowned and looked at her. This girl was not like this usually. It seemed that since the fifth prince's wedding, she always spoke for the fifth prince's wife in front of her.

"Qiaoyi, you seem to like Old Fifth Lady quite a lot. If you didn't know me, you'd be her lover. You always speak up for her in front of me."

As soon as Qiaoyi saw Concubine Yi's expression, she knew that she was furious. She was just receiving a favor from the Fifth Lady who spoke for her, but she was not bribed by her.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I saw that Fifth Lady has always been diligent in her duties since marrying into the family, so I couldn't help but speak up for her. I dare not have any other thoughts, Your Majesty."

"Really? Why do I not believe it? I'm afraid that the Fifth Lady has given you a lot of benefits, so you speak for her like this."

"Your servant..."

"It seems that my Yikun Palace can no longer hold a great Buddha like you. Since you like Old Fifth Lady so much, you should go and serve her."

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please don't chase me away. I just accepted some favors from the Fifth Lady and spoke well of her. I really didn't touch anything else."

"I can't afford someone like you. Come, send Qiaoyi to the prince's residence and tell the Fifth Lady that the matter of the Third Lady's premature birth caused by her will not be let off.

I punish her by making her copy the sutra ten times for the Third Lady. If the Third Lady doesn't forgive her, I will replace her with the Fifth Lady."

"yes."

When Rong Fei rushed to Yiku Palace, she happened to see Qiao Yi being brought out. Seeing the traces of crying on her face, she knew that she had been punished by Yi Fei.

"Sister Rong is here, come in quickly. The Third Lady has been wronged today, and I want to apologize to you on her behalf."

Concubine Yi knew that Concubine Rong was here to call for an explanation, but since the matter was originally caused by the Fifth Lady, she naturally would not harbor any grudges against Concubine Rong.

"Sister, it's time for Old Fifth's wife to take charge. If she hadn't been pregnant, I would have dealt with her right away. The thought of Li'er giving birth prematurely because of her makes me so angry."

"She's pregnant? What a stroke of luck! I was going to punish her by making her copy Buddhist scriptures for the Third Lady, but it seems that won't work."

Concubine Yi had no feelings for the child in the Fifth Lady's belly, and she would not like it even if she gave birth to a prince.

But if I relieve her of her punishment so easily, I would feel unwilling in my heart. Why not let her copy it a few times? I can't exempt her from punishment just because she is pregnant, right?

If this were really done, wouldn't the other people in the harem follow suit?

The harem is not a clean place. If someone really does this, will they take care of it or not?

If I do intervene, how should I do it? She is pregnant. But if I don't intervene, what if she does something against the law?

It was unjust for Kangxi to accuse them of failing to discipline them properly.

"Copying scriptures? Is it to pray for the Third Master's wife? Forget it. I think she hasn't learned the rules well. It's better for her to copy the palace rules.

Considering her happiness, just copy it two or three times. There has to be some punishment."

"Just as my sister said, come, go to the prince's residence and tell him that I have punished the Fifth Lady by making her copy the palace rules three times. Considering her pregnancy, I will give her a month.
