After this incident, the harem was completely quiet for a while. Yinzhi and Yinreng were so busy that they seldom saw each other. After the New Year's Eve palace banquet, everyone gathered in Yuqing Palace to stay up together.
Because Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi were too young, Yinreng did not invite them to attend, but all the other brothers came.
Yinzhi has become the steady eldest brother and is no longer as reckless as before.
Xiaosan and Xiaosi are now seven years old. They follow their two older brothers around and occasionally take care of Xiaowu, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba. They look like older brothers.
Yinreng watched Xiaosan and Xiaosi coaxing the other three children to play, and couldn't help but look at Yinzhi.
"Boss, do you still remember the time you put the egg custard on Xiao Si's head?"
Yinzhi, who was drinking, immediately spat it out and glared at Yinreng fiercely, "That's not true, don't talk nonsense."
Yinreng laughed out loud. Xiaosan and Xiaosi looked over and were glared back fiercely by Yinzhi.
"Many people have seen this. If you can shut my mouth, can you also shut everyone else's mouth?"
Yinzhi snorted and then waved at Xiaosi.
Xiao Si came over obediently and asked politely, "Big brother, what do you want from me?"
Yinzhi held him on his lap and asked, "Do you still remember your childhood?"
Yinzhen was confused. What happened in his childhood?
Seeing his expression, Yinzhi looked at Yinreng smugly, meaning, see, he doesn't remember anything.
"Are you asking about the custard?"
Yinreng could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, slamming the table.
Yinzhi tugged at Yinzhen's pigtail with a sullen look on his face, "How could a little brat like you possibly remember that?"
Yinzhen's face was filled with pain. While pulling his pigtail, he explained, "Ukuma Ma would bring it up from time to time, so of course my brother would remember it."
Ukuma Ma... forget it.
Yinzhi suffered a loss in silence.
Xiao San came over with a few younger brothers, "Big Brother, Second Brother, what are you talking about?"
Xiaowu, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba surrounded Yinreng and asked him questions at once.
Yinreng rubbed one little head for a while, then touched the other little face.
"We were making fun of your big brother."
Yinzhi grabbed the cake at hand and threw it at Yinreng, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yinreng couldn't stop laughing, but he still changed the subject out of courtesy.
When Kangxi heard that several children had all come to Yuqing Palace to stay up until the New Year, he also wanted to join in the fun and play with the children, but when he reached the door and heard the children's laughter inside, he stopped in his tracks.
Liang Jiugong whispered, "Your Majesty, you won't go in."
Kangxi shook his head and walked outside.
"Those kids are having a great time. If I go there, they'll feel uncomfortable."
Ever since Baocheng went to court, he has almost no time to spend with his brothers.
It's a rare opportunity for him to get along with his brothers, so let them improve their relationship on their own.
"Let's go to Changchun Palace to see Concubine Jin."
Since that incident, Kangxi suddenly noticed this Concubine Jin.
It’s not that I didn’t notice it before, I just ignored it on purpose.
But this woman has been behaving herself in the palace for the past two years. Not only has she not used her status to stir up trouble in the harem, she has also never caused any trouble for Baocheng.
Now that she has become a concubine, he is willing to give her more face.
Not only that, even though Wan Liuha had caused such a trouble, Jinpin didn't seem to torture her. Occasionally, when Jinpin was not feeling well, she would take the initiative to let Wan Liuha sleep with her. She was considered a good queen.
There aren't many things to do in the first month of the year, but after the first month it seems like all the affairs come rushing in.
It was at this time that news broke that Wan Liuha was a month pregnant, which meant it was around February.
In the main hall, Wan Liuha sat there nervously.
"It's your good fortune that you're pregnant now, so take good care of yourself."
Wan Liuha knelt down hurriedly and said, "After I give birth to the child, whether it's a boy or a girl, I will give it to Concubine Jin to raise."
Concubine Jin looked at her and smiled after a while. "I won't take your child away from you. You can raise him well. I will also tell the Imperial Kitchen and the Imperial Household Department to take good care of your food, clothing, and daily expenses. If you need anything, just send someone to tell me."
Wan Liuha raised her head and looked at Jinpin in shock and bewilderment, "Your Majesty, you..."
Jinpin glanced at Meixiang, and the little maid immediately stepped forward to help Wan Liuha up.
"Please take a seat, Concubine. Our Queen has said she will not take your child away from you, so she will not take it away from you."
Wan Liuha's face was filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I only want you to remember one thing: give birth to this child. Regardless of the child's gender, they will have the opportunity to advance in the future. If you dare to cause any more trouble, you won't be able to keep the child."
Wan Liuha immediately understood the profound meaning and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand everything."
"Okay, go back and take good care of yourself."
The news of Wan Liuha's pregnancy spread quickly throughout the harem of the former dynasty. Tong Jia was furious and felt that she was one step behind.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I will find an opportunity to remind Wan Liuha that if she, a concubine, gives birth to a child, it will definitely be taken away by Concubine Jin. If she doesn't want her child to be taken away, she must listen to Your Majesty's words."
Tong Jia looked at Shu Shu and said, "Be careful this time. Remember not to go to Changchun Palace, lest you be caught again."
