As the saying goes, parents are a child's first teachers. If both parents are dim-witted, how can you expect them to raise a smart child?
Shaking her head helplessly, Chen Yuwei focused her attention on Wanyan and Zhaojia.
Compared to the Xilin Gioro clan, who had connections in the court, Yonghu's status was considered appropriate.
The Wanyan clan and the Zhaojia clan belong to two families that descended from one another.
The candidate has no major flaws; he is indeed thoughtful and considerate, able to yield to Yonghong and Yongkun, but he is just too soft-hearted, only able to go along with things and not daring to go against them.
The larger size is just right, but with a child, Chen Yuwei still has to take care of things herself.
Otherwise, if she develops a submissive temperament, it won't be easy for Chen Yuwei to change it later.
Tsk
When she was choosing the children, Chen Yuwei only wanted them to live more comfortably, including their relationship as husband and wife and their ordinary life.
Therefore, when choosing a candidate, Chen Yuwei prioritized personality compatibility.
As for external factors like background, Chen Yuwei didn't care much about them.
As expected, when the candidates were brought out again for screening, none of them were suitable.
Chen Yuwei was thinking of starting with the next generation; if her son wasn't suitable, she would raise her grandson instead.
After all, Hongli was a relatively long-lived person. Even Jiaqing, who ascended the throne in history, spent several years as an emperor without real power.
Later, it was only after Hongli passed away as the retired emperor that Jiaqing was able to smoothly take over power and take control of the government.
At that time, Emperor Jiaqing was already quite old.
Since Jiaqing is capable, why doesn't Chen Yuwei select one of her grandchildren to train and compete?
Her background was problematic, which directly affected Yonghu's children.
There's nothing wrong with the wives of Ke Yonghu and his family. Counting the royal blood of Ke Yonghu and his family, their grandchildren are as pure as can be.
Those old fogies in the court, afraid of this and that, ultimately it's because the Qing dynasty's rule was illegitimate; otherwise, why would they be so obsessed with these theories about bloodline?
Heh~
Just as Chen Yuwei was lost in thought, Xia He came back from outside the door.
"master"
"Is there some movement at Consort Xian's place?"
Chen Yuwei didn't move, but glanced outside the hall.
Xia He nodded and shook her head, but her tone was lighter than when she left. "The midwife said that Consort Xian has dilated to ten centimeters. The small kitchen has prepared all the medicine she needs and sent it over. It should only take half an hour now."
Chen Yuwei's eyes lit up, and she got up from the chair to move around.
"That's good. We spent a whole day at Yonghe Palace, but it wasn't a waste of our energy."
It seems that Consort Xian really didn't cause any trouble, so she can relax a bit.
After finishing her business with Consort Xian, she went to the summer palace to rest.
Rushing back to oversee production on such a sweltering day, Chen Yuwei had no intention of doing it a second time.
The mistress and servant were in the main hall, relieved that Consort Xian's childbirth was going smoothly.
Little did they know that Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin was also pleased that she had chosen the safe option today.
The midwife who delivered the baby was terrified when she saw the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby's neck.
Fortunately, the master did not delay, otherwise the little prince would have died in her womb, and she, as the midwife, would have been the first to be punished.
With the baby boy born, the midwife finally finished her work.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she offered a few words of congratulations to Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin, who was lying on the delivery bed.
The midwife turned around and immediately sent someone to inform the Imperial Noble Consort about Consort Xian's successful delivery.
"She gave birth?"
Chen Yuwei came out of the main hall and followed the palace maid who came to deliver the news into the delivery room.
"Let me see the little prince quickly."
Soon, the baby boy, who had been quickly cleaned and wrapped in swaddling clothes, was brought to Chen Yuwei.
The faint smell of blood still lingered in her nose. Unable to bear the smell, Chen Yuwei simply covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and glanced down at the swaddled baby that had been placed in front of her.
The child looked no different from a normal newborn, but Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin had taken good care of him, so the purplish-blue marks on his face and neck were unusually obvious.
Chen Yuwei's expression shifted slightly. She told the midwife to take the baby away, then turned and spoke a few words to Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin, who was lying on the bed.
The next morning, Hongli returned to the capital from outside the palace, and as soon as he got back, he heard the good news that Huifa Nara Tanyin had given birth to a son.
Hui-fa-na-la gave him a son!
Hongli's lips, which had just curled up, suddenly parted into a wide grin. Instead of going directly to Yonghe Palace, he first returned to Yangxin Hall to retrieve the various rewards he was to send before going to Yonghe Palace to visit the newborn prince and Consort Xian.
Hearing the commotion, Chen Yuwei was busy packing her luggage at Yikun Palace.
She planned to go directly to the summer palace after the young prince's third-day celebration.
As for how to arrange things for Consort Xian and her son in the palace, that depends on the Emperor's decision.
It is estimated that they will be sent to the summer palace after the baby is full moon. Since Hongli did not go to the Yuanmingyuan this year, all the concubines can only make do with the summer palace.
Chen Yuwei said she disliked the crampedness of the summer palace, but compared to the sweltering heat inside the palace, she figured she'd rather stay there.
Aside from Consort Xian being relatively happy about Hongli's arrival, no one else seemed to have any particular thoughts.
Chen Yuwei, in particular, was busy packing her luggage all day long.
Yongwei and Wuyunzhu, who were still young, were left at the summer palace and did not return.
Chen Yuwei was also worried that if she stayed in the palace for too long, her two little princesses would be unhappy.
On the day of the baby's third-day celebration, Chen Yuwei was busy greeting the royal relatives who were coming to the palace, and at the same time she took the opportunity to tell Hongli that she was leaving. Unexpectedly, Hongli said that he would go with her.
Hongli's reason was also quite legitimate: Consort Xian in the palace was in confinement after childbirth, and the little prince was just a baby who only knew how to eat and sleep.
