The character 历 (lì) appears in Zuo Si's poem "娇女" (Jiao Nǚ), which says, "口齿自清历" (kǒu chǐ zì qīng lì), meaning clear and distinct.
Clearly, His Majesty was very satisfied with the Fourth Prince's eloquent reply. The only irregularity was that the imperial grandsons belonged to the "Hong" generation, but their given names also included the character "Ri".
For example, the "Xi" in Prince Hongxi, the "Yu" in Prince Hongyu, the "Hui" in Prince Honghui, the "Qing" in Prince Hongqing... at least among the imperial grandsons, there are none who are different...
However, since His Majesty was in a better mood, Liang Jiugong didn't say anything to dissuade him.
After all, rules are meant to be broken, aren't they? Besides, it didn't violate the "Hong" generation name rule; at least His Majesty was in a good mood today and bestowed a different name upon her.
The news had already spread after everyone had left, and everyone in the Hall of Preserving Harmony saw that... Prince Hongli had been staying in front of His Majesty for a long time.
At that time, the Fourth Prince was unaware of the bestowal of a name while he was in the Hall of Preserving Harmony. He accepted the mooncake offered by Wanwan with a bad attitude. While eating it, he snatched the purse from the Fourth Prince's waist.
It must have been given to him by his mother.
Fourth Master wasn't angry; he just found it amusing.
When he was in the East Courtyard, this child often fed him. Sometimes the child might not really want to give you food, but the first thing he would give would definitely be to him or Li Chenjiao.
He knew that Li Chenjiao had taught him this, but he never expected that the child would dare to do it in front of the Emperor.
This left Fourth Master somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
When the Fourth Prince left the palace and heard this news, he was indeed somewhat surprised, no, extremely surprised.
The Fourth Prince is now sound asleep in his mother's arms.
The Fourth Prince sat in the carriage, frowning in deep thought.
Back in the palace, after the fireworks ended, the Crown Prince returned to Yuqing Palace with Prince Hongxi.
Halfway there, a servant came and told us that the fourth prince had been given the name Hongli.
The Crown Prince wasn't too surprised. He said "I understand" and waved for the servants to leave.
Prince Hongxi peeked out, then quickly looked away, muttering, "Li? Li?"
With his hands behind his back, the Crown Prince gazed at Yuqing Palace not far away, his few moments of surprise all feigned.
From the moment he watched the "Fourth Prince" walk up to his father, he already knew the answer in his heart. The Fourth Prince, although his birth mother was no longer the "Daughter of a Fourth-Rank Official, Niohuru Clan" from his previous life, once his father bestowed the name "Hongli," the Crown Prince knew the outcome.
He didn't know whether Hongli would eventually succeed to the throne, but he knew that his father had always doted on Hongli.
Before Hongli, Hongxi was the Emperor's most beloved grandson, but as Hongli grew older, the Emperor's most beloved grandson changed.
His Hongxi was quite stubborn about this at one point.
Thinking of all this, the Crown Prince glanced sideways, appearing remarkably calm: "A good name."
Upon seeing this, Hongxi responded with a "yes," but naturally, he couldn't help but ponder it in his heart.
...
Li Chenjiao wasn't well-informed; she only found out after returning to her residence.
Only then did she realize that her wannabe had probably done something extraordinary during her trip to the palace.
However, the child was sleeping soundly, so Li Chenjiao asked the wet nurse to take the child away to sleep. The second princess was already sleepy, so Li Chenjiao gently removed the hairpins and jewelry from the little girl and then personally coaxed her to sleep.
After the two children fell asleep, Li Chenjiao felt a little hungry.
"Have the kitchen cook a bowl of egg noodles, I'm starving. Let Dongsheng come in and give an answer." Dongsheng was the only one who came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the Fourth Prince today.
Only Granny Lin and Qiu Ci and Qiu Hu remained in the inner room.
As usual, Green Chrysanthemum kept watch over the Second Princess at night, Green Bamboo was busy in the small kitchen with Pingniang and Qiaoniang, and Green Plum was on guard outside. If the Fourth Prince arrived, she would be the first to inform him. At this time, Xiao Luzi was keeping watch over the Fourth Prince.
Dongsheng had seen quite a few things today. He recounted what he had seen and heard in the Hall of Preserving Harmony. After he finished speaking, the inner room fell into an unusual silence.
Wanwan is really brave...
Li Chenjiao doesn't have the same courage as Wanwan. No wonder there's a saying, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."
Oh, from now on he should be called Prince Hongli.
For some reason, Li Chenjiao's eyelids started twitching after she only read the name "Hongli" once.
She herself knew that the name was somewhat special, but she could tell from the names bestowed upon the Second Prince and the Third Prince that it was special. Li Chenjiao sighed.
A tall tree catches the wind, which is not a good thing.
Moreover, the current Wanwan is just a seedling, not even a tree.
Li Chenjiao felt a headache just thinking about it.
My child seems to have stood out too much in front of His Majesty today.
But of course, the children couldn't be blamed. Li Chenjiao knew without even thinking that the mooncakes were given to each other by the siblings. She was just glad that Wanwan hadn't mentioned the Second Princess in the main hall.
Li Chenjiao silently picked up the mooncake on the table and took two bites. To be honest, Pingniang and Qiaoniang's skills were really good.
Today is the fifteenth, so the Fourth Master naturally won't come to the East Courtyard. Li Chenjiao ate the egg noodles brought from the small kitchen and quickly washed up and settled in.
Let it be eye-catching. She's happy that her child is successful, but she'll also protect him with all her might.
Li Chenjiao stared at the canopy above her head, her eyes slightly narrowed.
...
The next morning, the Fourth Prince went to the morning court session.
Normally, there are only morning court sessions on the first and fifteenth of each month, with occasional exceptions, but very few.
However, since yesterday was the fifteenth, the morning court session was moved to today.
During the morning court session, another earth-shattering event occurred.
For a moment, no one had time to care about the matter of the imperial grandson being given a name; what did that matter?
