Chapter Seventy
Little Hongyao's crying woke up the three sleeping babies, who started whimpering and about to cry.
"Hongyao, don't cry. You scared your little brother. Who was it that just now said that they would never be scared by their little brother?" Yinreng quickly spoke up from the side. If he had known that Hongyao could be scared to tears, he would not have brought Hongyao to see the children.
It can only be said that Hongyao was not mentally prepared.
Upon hearing his father's words, Hongyao's mind seemed to suddenly return to normal. He abruptly stopped crying, sobbed a couple of times, wiped away his tears, and looked down at his three ugly younger brothers.
(Hongyao angrily: Don't make it sound like I'm brainless, okay? I was just scared.)
Xiao Hongyao wanted to cry again, but in the end he managed to suppress the urge.
Seeing that Hongyao had calmed down, Yinreng patted his little head with satisfaction, "You made your little brother cry, what should we do?"
"Father, are these really my brothers? How come they look so different from Hongyao? They don't even resemble Hongyao..." Little Hongyao looked aggrieved, still somewhat doubtful whether they had really been stolen.
Because they were stolen, Ama couldn't accept it, so he deliberately stole back three ugly younger brothers.
Although Yinreng could not hear Xiao Hongyao's thoughts, how could he not see what Xiao Hongyao was thinking from his still somewhat innocent little face?
"This is Yuqing Palace, who could steal your brother?" Yinreng gently flicked Hongyao's head. He was so stupid, he hadn't inherited any of his father's intelligence.
Xiao Hongyao stared blankly at his father for several seconds before suddenly realizing what had happened. He then looked at his three younger brothers in shock and asked, "So, Father, are these... my brothers?"
Why are all three younger brothers so ugly?
“Father…” Hongyao was at a loss. He grabbed his father’s clothes and then stood on tiptoe to look at his three ugly younger brothers. Perhaps, perhaps, they weren’t particularly ugly.
Waaah, but it's really ugly.
Yinreng ignored Hongyao, but looked at his three thin and small sons with some heartache. Perhaps because they were triplets, they were much smaller than normal fetuses.
For example, compared to when Hongyao was just born, he is much smaller. How can we not worry?
In the end, Hongyao was taken away without even having a chance to say a few words to his younger brothers. His father said that since he was so timid that he was scared to tears by his younger brothers, he should go back and rest well. He can visit his brothers again when he is bolder in the future.
Yinreng was mainly worried that his three children were still so young, and that Hongyao might not know his own limits; they were all his precious children.
Hongyao didn't think that his father kicking him out meant he didn't care about his younger brother and didn't love him anymore. Instead, he worried, "Father, my brother is so ugly. Will people laugh at him when he goes out?"
"If my younger brother cries and asks me if I'm his biological older brother, what should I say?"
"My little brother is so ugly, what if Mother and Grandfather don't like him?"
Little Hongyao is a good older brother. While his younger brothers were still in their mother's womb, Little Hongyao was already looking forward to their birth, just like Yinreng had looked forward to Little Hongyao's birth.
Yinreng listened to Hongyao's incessant chatter and concern, and said, "Then I'll have to entrust this to our brother Hongyao. The younger brothers have their older brother, so Father is very relieved."
He entrusted the heavy responsibility to Hongyao, hoping that the brothers among the children would not be like him and his eldest brother, who were always arguing and bickering. Yinreng felt that he was worried sick.
Hongyao believed that his father was entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, and patted his chest confidently, "Don't worry, Father, Hongyao will definitely take good care of my younger brothers."
My younger brother is so ugly, if anyone dares to laugh at him in the future, I'll beat them up.
"Father, I want to learn how to fight Buku." He's so small, he really wouldn't be able to win if it really came down to a fight. My little brother can't be bullied by others.
"Okay." Yinreng nodded, and considered whether to hand Hongyao over to the eldest son for about ten days or half a month, and let the three children take good care of themselves for half a month.
Should we fatten her up a bit? She's constantly being bothered by Hongyao; it won't help her grow up properly.
"Great, Father, when do I start learning? Let's start tomorrow. I'll study in the morning and take care of my younger brother in the afternoon." Hongyao clearly outlined his schedule.
"No, besides learning to read and write, you also need to learn literature in the morning, how to fight Buku in the afternoon, and then come to see your younger brother in the evening." Yinreng arranged a series of classes for his son, seeing him once a day, so that he would remember him and perhaps their relationship would be better?
All fathers are like this; they all hope that their sons will have a deep brotherly bond.
Suddenly, Yinreng thought of his imperial father. Although he didn't think his brothers were his mother's biological children, they were his father's. Did that mean...?
Yinreng was silent for two seconds, then said, "You'll learn with your uncle. Anyway, your uncle doesn't have much to do in the afternoons."
“Okay.” Hongyao didn’t refuse at all. After nodding, he was still excitedly raising his chubby little fists, determined to protect his ugly little brothers.
After sending Hongyao to eat and sleep, Yinreng went to visit Jialuo. She had been sleeping since morning and hadn't woken up yet. If he hadn't known that Jialuo was alright, Yinreng would have called the imperial physician.
As night fell, Jialuo finally woke up.
The moment she woke up, she felt aches and pains. Yinreng quickly came up to her and asked her how she was feeling. "Jialuo, you're awake? How are you feeling? Are you hungry? The children have all been born, and they are all little princes. You've worked so hard, Jialuo."
As she spoke, she ordered someone to bring up a meal, all of which was suitable for postpartum women.
There's also a desk on the bed, made by Jialuo a long, long time ago, and it's been upgraded several times already.
However, the desk on the bed didn't seem to be very useful, mainly because Jialuo was half-lying down eating her meal and didn't chat with Yinreng there.
[I'm not having any more children, I really won't have any more. I was completely captivated by the Crown Prince's handsome face before.]
It really hurts.
That damn Bao Cheng, he's lost all love.
Feeling aggrieved because of the pain, she angrily cursed Yinreng while eating.
Upon hearing this, Yinreng became so angry that it harmed his health. "After this birth, let's never have any more children, okay?"
He gently coaxed Jia Luo, saying it was all his fault, that he was the culprit.
"Hmm." Despite Jia Luo's lively personality, she was too tired to talk much right now, and even her meals were fed by others.
Yinreng was full of pity as he took care of Jialuo, and then had three small cradles brought over. He held the babies, afraid that they might not be using their strength properly.
Worry.
Looking at her three adorably ugly sons, Jialuo, a woman radiating maternal love, could still see their quirky cuteness. "Take good care of my three sons..."
In the end, he could only leave Yinreng with this sentence before falling asleep, exhausted.
The news that the Crown Princess had given birth to three princes spread throughout the palace and the court. Unable to find the Crown Princess, they could only turn to the Crown Prince and secretly ask him how to conceive three sons in one pregnancy, achieving triplets...
The Crown Prince's once noble and elegant appearance turned cold and indifferent. At most, he would send his eldest son over and entrust him with the care of his son, so that the Crown Prince could learn how to teach the child.
When Emperor Kangxi learned that Yinreng had entrusted his children to Yinti for education, he thought Yinreng was really... foolish. What if Hongyao followed in his eldest son's footsteps and became foolish?
He immediately sent someone to bring Hongyao over. The martial arts master he chose seemed to be better than the eldest brother.
When the eldest son heard that the Crown Prince had entrusted his son to him for instruction, he was overjoyed and extremely proud, probably because Yinreng had realized how capable and awesome he was!
Otherwise, why would the Crown Prince be willing to entrust his only son to him?
Yinti did not hold a grudge against his nephew Yinreng because of Yinreng. The conflict between him and Yinreng did not involve his nephew, let alone the Crown Princess.
But who could have imagined that the Emperor would be so wicked? His little nephew was taken away before he could even stay at his eldest son's residence for half a day.
Damn it, Father Emperor already has so many sons, why does he have to fight me for my little nephew?
When Yinti was about to roll up his sleeves and go to confront his father, the First Princess stopped him, saying, "What are you doing? That's still Father's grandson. What's the rush?"
Yinqi was dejected, and then... he pulled his daughters aside. There was no reason why Hongyao could learn to use the cloak, but his daughters couldn't. Come, come with your father.
By the way, besides the daughter, the wife should also exercise more so that she can give birth to a healthy son.
The First Princess never expected that the boomerang would actually hit her.
The Crown Princess is in confinement, the First Prince's wife is exercising, the Third Prince's wife is raising her child, the Fourth Prince's wife is pregnant, the Fifth Prince's wife is complaining, the Seventh Prince's wife is vying for the Seventh Prince's favor with the women in his harem, but unfortunately she has lost. The Eighth Prince's wife is arrogant and domineering because of her exclusive favor...
Because of the strain of giving birth to triplets, the Crown Princess had to undergo two months of postpartum confinement. The baby's third-day celebration was also cancelled because the three children were too young, and the full-month celebration was postponed to two months later, when the children were a bit older.
Kangxi did not visit the three children, but learned from Hongyao that the three ugly younger brothers were starting to shed their skin, which had turned from red to fair and tender, and could be considered good-looking.
Hongyao was quite surprised at the time, "Grandpa, why has my little brother suddenly become so handsome?"
Every day after class, he would run back to visit his three younger brothers, regardless of wind or snow, so he watched his brothers change little by little and no longer suspected that his brothers had been replaced.
"Grandpa, my little brother is so handsome."
"Grandpa, my little brother has become so fair and tender."
“Grandpa, my brother smiled at me.”
“Grandpa, my little brother looks just like me.”
Emperor Kangxi, who had never met his three young grandsons before, began to form an impression of the three children in his mind as Hongyao kept talking. They were fair-skinned and looked like Hongyao. Not bad.
The way the emperor expressed his affection for his grandson was by showering him with gifts!
The three little princes ate and slept all day long, and started to gain weight. They finally passed the double postpartum period of the Crown Princess.
Because of Emperor Kangxi's fondness for the young prince's full-moon celebration, when Hongyao suggested it, he immediately ordered it to be held in the main hall of the palace.
On this day, countless imperial relatives and ministers came. Well, the key point is that all the princesses came, whether young or old, all thinking about how to pry open the Crown Princess's... ah, I mean, how to coax the Crown Princess to see her secret formula for having a child.
