"What did Baocheng say to Xiaoba in the yard just now?"
Concubine Hui quickly changed the topic to Xiaoba. When Xiaoba heard that he was being talked about, his face turned red.
"Xiao Ba seems to be very afraid of being alone."
Yinreng looked at Xiaoba, who pursed his lips and dared not speak.
Seeing this, Concubine Hui waved at Xiao Ba, and after he came to her side, she said, "After Xiao Ba and Concubine Wei moved to Yanxi Palace, they hardly saw the other brothers. The eldest brother rarely returned to the palace at that time, and later simply moved to the prince's residence. As a result, this child is a little afraid of everyone he sees."
Yinreng took a look and saw confusion and even fear in the other person's eyes, and he felt a little reluctant.
"Who does Xiaoba have the best relationship with in the upper study?"
Yinreng tried his best to make his tone gentler.
Xiao Ba blurted out without thinking, "Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi."
Sure enough, even after two lifetimes, the three of them are still the iron triangle.
"You two are only two years apart in age, so it's nice to be able to play together. How about bringing Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi to Yuqing Palace for dinner after class tomorrow?"
Xiao Ba's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Can all three of us dine at Yuqing Palace?"
Yinreng nodded, and Xiaoba immediately agreed happily, "Thank you, second brother."
Yinreng smiled and then waved his hand, "Go out and play, don't stay here."
Seeing this, Concubine Hui looked at Wei and said, "You should go back and rest too."
After paying her respects, Wei took Xiao Ba away.
When Concubine Hui saw them leave, she said, "Concubine Wei's rank is too low, which causes Xiao Ba to be timid in the upper study. His older brothers don't want to play with him, but fortunately, there are Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi."
"Perhaps they are too young to know about their biological mother's status. I don't know what their situation will be like in two years."
It is really incredible that a child born to a concubine can play together with the children of the favored Concubine Yi and the Imperial Concubine.
Yinreng nodded in understanding.
In the previous life, Xiao Ba always felt inferior because of Wei's identity, and it is still the same in this life. I hope Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi can comfort the hurt feelings of this poor little thing.
In August, news came that Kangxi had defeated Galdan in Ulan Butong and Zhaomodo.
And decided to return to the capital in September.
This bombshell news was like a reassurance, making both the former court and the harem breathe a sigh of relief.
It was not until October that Kangxi led his army back.
"Emperor Father."
Yinreng had already led all the officials to welcome him at the city gate. When he saw Kangxi coming towards him in armor against the light from afar, he rushed forward with a surging heart.
Upon seeing this, Kangxi jumped off his horse and held his son in his arms in just a few steps.
"Baocheng, Ama misses you so much."
Yinreng's body trembled noticeably.
In this life, he remembered that the emperor father always called himself "I", and this was the first time he called himself "Ama" instead of "Emperor Father".
"Father, I miss you so much. You've lost so much weight."
Yinreng choked with sobs and stroked Kangxi's face. His face was full of wrinkles from the long journey.
Kangxi laughed heartily, "Winning this battle makes everything worth it."
Only then did Yinzhi jump off his horse and walk over, "Baocheng, do you miss your elder brother?"
Yinreng watched him grow taller like an onion in dry land, and couldn't help but teasing him, "Everyone else is going to fight, are you going there to grow taller?"
The father and his two sons laughed out loud, and the rest of the people present also laughed along.
Immediately, Kangxi led his important ministers back to the palace, and the rest left.
The imperial concubine led all the concubines and princes and princesses in the harem and waited in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace. After paying their respects and greetings, Kangxi waved his hand.
"Let's all go back first. We'll have a family dinner tonight."
The imperial concubine thought it would be a palace banquet, but unexpectedly it was a family banquet.
Since it is a family dinner, it will naturally be attended by everyone in the harem and the three princes and their wives from the royal family, so it is easy to prepare.
"I've noticed that the Grand Prince has grown quite a bit taller and has become much more mature and steady."
After everyone dispersed, Concubine Yi chatted with Concubine Hui with a smile.
Concubine Hui never expected that her son would be so successful after going out.
"I was worried about him getting hurt or something, but I didn't expect him to actually grow taller."
The two chatted with each other with smiles, while the imperial concubine began to arrange people to prepare for the family dinner in the evening.
At the family dinner that night, Kangxi was in great spirits. He not only took the initiative to talk about some details of the war, but also joked about some of what he had heard and heard along the way.
Everyone could see that Kangxi was really happy.
After three rounds of drinks, Kangxi noticed that Uya was talking to a wet nurse holding a child, and then he remembered that the child was the fourteenth child who was born in the first month of the lunar year.
"Uya, that's Little Fourteen?"
Wu Ya secretly cursed the emperor for not even recognizing his own son, but she smiled gently and said, "It's Little Fourteen."
Then, the wet nurse came forward with the child to show Kangxi.
[Little Fourteen would also become a general in the future, and would fight on the battlefield just like his elder brother. He was even given the title of General King by the Emperor, which made his elder brother somewhat dissatisfied.]
[However, in the previous life, when Wu Ya gave birth to little Fourteen, she was Consort De. She doted on Fourteen and spoiled him beyond measure, causing him to act very arrogantly in the harem.]
[Now that Wu Ya is only a concubine, I think Little Fourteen will no longer act like that.]
Kangxi frowned and looked at the fourteenth child for a long moment. "Let's name him Yinzhen. It was not easy for the Uya family to give birth. He performed very well when kneeling before the Empress Dowager. He will be promoted to a noble."
Uya didn't expect that she would be promoted, but...others were given a title when they were promoted, but why was it that she was only promoted and didn't even get a title.
"Why doesn't Noble Wuya thank you? Doesn't she like your position?"
Concubine Yi looked at her meaningfully. Uya didn't dare to think about it anymore and knelt down to express her gratitude.
Yinreng glanced at the eager Wei and the still cautious Xiaoba, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
[Now all concubines with children have been promoted to noble ladies, but Wei is still just a concubine. No wonder Xiao Ba always feels inferior to others.]
Kangxi paused as he picked up the wine glass. Who is Wei?
I looked around before I found the person.
I forgot there is such a person.
"How old is Xiaoba this year?"
Yinsi didn't expect the conversation to suddenly turn to him. After a moment of surprise, he hurriedly said, "My dear father, my son is seven years old."
Kangxi nodded and said, "Mrs. Wei is good and has raised children well. Promote her to a noble lady."
Wei thought this was a piece of cake.
They held Yinsi's hand and knelt down to express their gratitude. Uya, who had just had a smile on her face, immediately frowned.
When she was promoted, why did Wei also get promoted?
I really owe a lot to her.
After the family dinner, Yinreng followed Kangxi to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. The father and son had not seen each other for several months, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.
