Yunyi knew about this matter, and she was not surprised to hear Kangxi say this. "Cousin, you can make the decision. I have no objection."
Unexpectedly, there was no feedback. Kangxi simply informed his cousin in advance of the matter.
After discussing these matters, Kangxi chatted with Yunyi for a while longer before leaving Chengqian Palace.
In the afternoon, as expected, an imperial edict was issued from the Qianqing Palace: Prince Baoqing, born to Consort Hui, was renamed Yinzhi and became Emperor Kangxi's eldest son; Baocheng, born to Empress Hesheli, was renamed Yinreng and became the second prince; and Prince Rong was renamed Yinzhi and became the third prince.
Next is Yun Yisheng's Yinzhen, who was previously the eleventh prince and is now the fourth prince.
As for the princesses, Kangxi did not reorder them; he kept them as before.
This decree caused great dissatisfaction among everyone except Consort Hui.
Reordering the order means that her deceased children will never be recorded again, not added to the imperial genealogy, and not counted in the ranking. It will be as if they never existed. Who will remember them except for her, their mother?
Although Consort Rong still had the Third Prince, his previous children no longer existed after this re-order of birth, which made her very sad.
When Emperor Kangxi issued his decree, only Consort Hui was overjoyed. After the reordering, her child suddenly became the emperor's eldest son, a very special status, which gave Consort Hui some ulterior motives.
Regardless of what the women in the harem thought, Kangxi's decree would not change, and all they could do was accept it.
The next day was the full-month celebration for Yunyi's two children. Because they were twins, a boy and a girl, which was considered auspicious, and because they were born to the Imperial Concubine, the celebration was especially grand, only slightly less so than the celebration for the Empress's son.
This full moon celebration was not organized by Yunyi, nor by the nannies and maids in her palace, but by Empress Niohuru herself.
Previously, Niohuru was seriously ill and her life was in danger. On the day Yunyi gave birth to twins, Niohuru's condition improved, which made her feel special feelings for the two twins.
