"I thank the Emperor and the Empress Dowager for their grace."

Kangxi and Xiaozhuang were busy looking at the quadruplets with affection. This was the first time that the Qing royal family had multiple children, and they were all princes. They had to be taken care of carefully in the future.

"Su Ma, I'm really worried. You should go serve the imperial concubine for a while and help me take care of these boys. You don't have to worry about me.

After all, I am the Empress Dowager, and there are many people serving me. You are the person I trust the most. I can feel more at ease with you by her side to help me.

Xiao Si is getting older, and she might not have that much energy to focus on him. You should take care of him more and come back when she can handle it."

"I understand. I will go to the Fourth Prince's side and keep an eye on him. You can rest assured knowing I am here with you."

Xiaozhuang nodded. Yinzhen was the reincarnation of a real dragon. Even if something happened to the quadruplets, he couldn't afford to get into trouble. Moreover, he had a feeling that these quadruplets were a help to him.

When the quadruplets grow up, they will surely be able to help him solve his problems. I just hope that the prince can keep his original intention and maintain a good brotherly relationship with him.

Although it seems that the prince likes his younger brother Yinzhen very much, they are still young and have not been exposed to court politics. No one can guarantee that they will be well for the rest of their lives.

"Let's all go back. Don't disturb the concubine's rest."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

Depin and Rongpin envied Mu Sili. After all, they had never been treated like this. Even when Rongpin gave birth to five sons and one daughter, Kangxi was not so happy.

However, she was lucky to have a son and a daughter now. It was her fate that she had no chance to have them. In addition, she already held some power in the palace, so she didn't want to fight too much.

Now the only thing she has to do is to raise her two children safely. As long as they can grow up safely and have a good home in the future, that is enough.

As for Concubine Hui, she originally thought that Mu Sili was as pitiful as her, but after watching her step by step ascend to the position of Imperial Concubine, she no longer thought so.

It would be great if she was really like her, she could help her, but the problem is that she has already taken the position of noble concubine, and in two years, she will probably become the queen.

The other person was going to be the queen, but it was not something that a concubine like her could get involved in. She had better educate Yinzhi well.

Anyway, since she got the power of the palace, she has experienced a different kind of happiness. To survive in this harem, one does not need the favor of Kangxi, and sometimes one has to rely on oneself.

"If you have nothing to do, please come to my palace and sit down. It's been a long time since I last talked to you about my worries."

"Alright, sister has something to tell you. Let's not go home until we are drunk today."

The two left talking and laughing. Kangxi was very satisfied with the current harem. Although there were minor frictions, no one would deliberately frame others.

"Let's hurry up and arrange the funeral for Concubine Tong and Concubine Yi. I'm planning to hold a grand full-moon banquet for the quadruplets in a month, and I don't want to have a simple one just because of them."

"Don't worry, Madam. I know what to do. This matter will be brought to an end in at most two weeks."

"It's good that you understand. I'm tired and will go back to rest first."

"I'll help you go in and rest."

The first thing Kangxi did after returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity was to arrange a grand funeral for Concubine Tong and Concubine Yi. Because of the quadruplets, they were buried in just seven days.

In his words, they had been dead for so long that it was time to bury them. If they stayed in the world for any longer, it would be detrimental to their families.

Even though the Tong family and the Guo Luoluo family were dissatisfied, they did not dare to express their opinions at this time. They still understood that the imperial power was in their hands.

At this time, Fuquan and Tong Guogang were also on their way back. Tong Guogang was helpless. He wanted to ask the bandit leader about the situation, but he was killed by Fuquan with a single knife.

"Prince Yu, don't you plan to say something to this general? The bandit leader is going to be brought back to the capital for interrogation. You just killed him like that. Aren't you afraid of the emperor's blame?"

"Blame? Why would the Emperor blame me? I did this for the sake of the royal family's reputation. Do you, Duke, want to bring shame to the royal family?

The cause of death of the two ladies has not been announced yet. If the world knew that they died at the hands of the leader of the bandits, people would probably suspect that their innocence had been slandered.

The Duke should know the importance of innocence to women. If it is rumored that their innocence was taken away by bandits, what will happen to the daughters of your two families in the future?"

He felt very upset when he saw Fuquan acting like he was doing this for his own good, but he couldn't say anything because when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

"I, the general, would like to thank the prince for his consideration for the Tong family. I will make more suggestions to the emperor after returning to the capital."

"You're welcome, but their funerals should have been completed by now. We've avenged them. I hope they can rest in peace."

Tong Guogang didn't say anything. Without anyone from the Tong family in the harem, there would be fewer sources of information. He should consider whether to send another woman into the palace.

However, those who were sent in before were all sent to the Xinzheku as slaves by Kangxi. I am afraid that no member of the tribe would be willing to send their daughter into the palace.

He got a headache when he thought of this. This matter was caused by Concubine Tong's failure to handle it properly, and she even lost her life for it. He had to think about it carefully.

After all, one mistake could ruin the Tong family's future. If they really can't do it, they should just behave themselves. At least Kangxi won't be afraid of them.

Although he was a rough man, he was quite perceptive. He had a feeling that if he went against Kangxi, sooner or later he would bring the Tong family into an irretrievable situation.

The Tong family has only been established for two years. If they are reduced to their original form because of a trivial matter, he will not be able to face his ancestors when he goes to the underworld.

After figuring it out, he no longer worried about it. As long as the Tong family could survive forever, sacrificing a few people was acceptable.

Soon it was the full moon banquet for the quadruplets. Xiaozhuang originally wanted to let Mu Sili stay in bed for another month, but she didn't want to rest in bed, so she came out.

At the full moon banquet, Kangxi and Xiaozhuang held two children respectively, while Mu Sili held Yinzhen. Although they had more children, Yinzhen could not be ignored.

The full-moon banquet was held with great ceremony. Before the banquet began, Kangxi gave names to the quadruplets: Yinsi, Yin'er, Yin'e, and Yinxiang.

When Mu Sili learned the names of the quadruplets, she regretted not taking another pregnancy pill, otherwise she could have given birth to quintuplets and completed the Nine Dragons.

However, her two daughters have not been born yet. At worst, she can get pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, in the future. With the twins as a backing, her position as queen will be secure.

Mu Sili had a good idea. The child had to be born anyway, so it didn't matter whether it was born early or late. It would be better to have them together so that the age difference would be small and the brotherhood could be better cultivated.
