After a month of recovery and recuperation, Niohuru's health was much better. Her willingness to volunteer to host the full moon celebration showed her great joy.
With the support of Empress Dowager Niohuru and Emperor Kangxi, the full-month celebration for the twins was so grand.
Inside the main hall, all the concubines gathered together. Once everyone was present, Yunyi, accompanied by palace maids and wet nurses, appeared before everyone, carrying the protagonist of this full-moon celebration.
As soon as she stood still, the concubines around her began to flatter Yunyi. Just then, the eunuch announced, "His Majesty has arrived!"
The concubines were somewhat surprised. The Emperor was busy with state affairs and rarely attended the baby showers and full moon celebrations of the princes and princesses. They never expected that the Emperor would come to the full moon celebration of the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Princess.
After exchanging greetings and inquiries, Kangxi stood between the Empress and Yunyi. When the time was almost up, the nanny stepped forward and began the various rituals for the full moon celebration.
All the ceremonies concluded smoothly. Kangxi's eyes were filled with a loving smile. He gave Liang Jiugong a wink, and Liang Jiugong obediently stepped forward to read the imperial edict.
Say the names that were decided beforehand: the fourth prince will be named Yinzhen, and the seventh princess will be named Hutuling'a.
After saying this, Liang Jiugong did not stop, but continued to say the name of the sixth princess born to Wuya Xinyue, named Buyechuk, which means cute in Manchu.
Actually, Emperor Kangxi only mentioned the names of two little ones yesterday. It was Yunyi who discovered that the Sixth Princess still didn't have a name, so she asked Emperor Kangxi for one.
Children in the palace were not given names immediately after birth; they were usually just referred to by their birth order. Only when the child turned three and the adults felt that he had reached a certain age would he be given a name and his name be entered into the imperial genealogy.
If a child dies before the age of three, they will not have a name, will not be recorded in the imperial genealogy, and will not be included in the birth order.
The Sixth Princess was born in the month of Wuya Xinyue. Emperor Kangxi did not dote on her much, so he followed the previous rule and planned to name her after she turned three.
Yunyi felt it was strange that all three children were being raised by her, with two having names but the other only being called "Sixth Princess." So she mentioned it to Kangxi, and thus the Sixth Princess was given the name Buyechuk.
Time flew by and it was already the 22nd year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.
Before Yunyi knew it, the three children beside her were all five years old (actual age) and seven years old (traditional age).
The baby who was once a helpless infant is now clinging to Yunyi's legs, acting cute and silly, making her laugh heartily.
"Mother, please, please let me go play in the Imperial Garden. The palace maids said the flowers there are blooming beautifully, and I want to see them."
Hutu Ling'a clung to Yunyi's sleeve and swayed back and forth, muttering to herself. Her big eyes blinked as she looked at her mother with a pleading expression.
Unable to resist her daughter's adorable appearance, Yunyi didn't insist for long before agreeing to her request.
Reaching out, Yunyi gently tapped her little nose and said with concern, "It's fine to go to the Imperial Garden to see the flowers, but it's getting colder now, so wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold. If you catch a cold, you'll have to drink those bitter medicines!"
Upon hearing that she had to take medicine, Hu Tuling frowned, her heart filled with refusal.
But knowing that she had achieved her goal, she smiled again, nodded, and assured her mother, "I know, I will definitely keep warm and not catch a cold. Don't worry, Mother."
After saying that, Hutu Ling'a led her maids out of the palace like the wind, extremely lively.
As he brushed past Hutulinga, who greeted him hurriedly before leaving, Buyechuk smiled and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that his seventh sister had run off to play again.
With a faint smile on her face, she entered the inner hall, politely bowed and greeted Yunyi, and then sat down beside her.
Yunyi patted Buyechuk's hand, somewhat reproachfully saying, "I've told you so many times, you don't need to be so formal in private. You're just too sensible."
Buyechuk replied with a smile, "It's alright, it's all my daughter's wish."
No longer continuing the topic, Buyechuk smiled and covered her mouth, teasing Hutuling who had just gone out, "Mother, where is Seventh Sister going to play again? She's in such a hurry, as if someone is chasing her."
Thinking of her daughter's mischievous personality, Yunyi shook her head helplessly. "She said the flowers in the Imperial Garden are beautiful, and she's curious and wants to go see them!"
Not wanting to talk about this little rascal, Yunyi was very worried about Buyechuk. She had just gone to pay her respects to Wuya Xinyue and wondered if she had been wronged.
Looking at her adopted daughter, Yunyi's eyes flashed with concern. "Buyechuk, how is Consort Wuya? When you went to pay your respects to her just now, did she give you any trouble?"
Not wanting to worry Tong's mother, Buyechuk shook his head sensibly and comforted Yunyi, "Mother, don't worry, she treats her daughter very well and hasn't made things difficult for her."
The little girl in front of me is only five years old, the age to be in kindergarten, but she is incredibly sensible at such a young age.
Because Wu Yaxin's rank was too low to raise the imperial heir, Buyechuk was raised by Yunyi from a young age.
Even so, Yunyi did not stop Wuya Xinyue from visiting her daughter.
But Wu Yaxin was determined to have a son, so she was very perfunctory in her attitude towards her daughter, only visiting her once or twice a month.
She could manage to maintain the relationship before, but ever since Wuya Xinyue became pregnant again three years ago, she has become even more distant from her eldest daughter. Every time they meet, she is cold and dismissive, only saying a few words before sending Buyechuk away.
After becoming pregnant and giving birth, Wu Yaxin did not give birth to the little prince she longed for, but instead gave birth to a little princess.
This little princess was born with poor health, and for various reasons, the Eighth Princess was raised by Wu Yaxin Yue herself.
However, Wu Yaxinyue disliked her eldest daughter, and she also disliked her second daughter, who had also dashed her hopes.
At the beginning of last month, this frail and sickly little girl, whose life was tragically cut short, ended her life at less than two years old.
On the very day that the Eighth Princess died, Wu Yaxin was diagnosed with another pregnancy and gave birth to twin daughters. Originally confident that she would give birth to a prince, she was very uneasy about the outcome of this pregnancy.
She had thought she would quickly gain the emperor's favor, give birth to a prince, and be granted a high position, but five years had passed, and she had given birth to two daughters without a son. She had remained in the position of Noble Lady for many years without being promoted.
Wu Yaxin was somewhat dejected, but her inner pride and confidence prevented her from giving up easily.
Buyechuk is a very sensible child. Although she is not well-liked by her birth mother, she still greets Wuya Xinyue every day. Although she is sometimes scolded, she still persists.
Last month, Buyech was very worried when he learned that his mother was pregnant again, and he checked on her health every day.
This sensible child has both a biological mother and an adoptive mother, and she loves both of them very much. It's just a pity that Wu Yaxinyue is not a good mother and did not give her enough love.
Yunyi could only treat Buyechuk even better to make up for the lack of maternal love she had.
