Chapter 149: My Prince is Extraordinarily Powerful Time flies by. ...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the triplets are one year old. After a year of careful feeding, the triplets finally look almost like normal children. They can eat and sleep well. Although they still get sick more often, they are all minor illnesses that can be cured quickly.
Because the three children were well, Yinzhen decided to hold a grand birthday banquet to make up for the third day of the baby's birth and the hundredth day of the full moon.
On the day of the banquet, the main gate of Prince Yong's Mansion was wide open, and guests came in an endless stream. The servants were so busy that their feet were hitting their heads, and the weather was so hot that they were sweating all the time.
Yinzhen and Honghui were entertaining male guests in the front yard. Yinxiang was helping out, and when he passed in front of Yinzhi, he was sarcastically retorted, "You're really pushing yourself! Did they go to your place yesterday?"
Yinxiang's daughter and triplets were born only one day apart, but they were born to concubines. In addition, he still lived in the palace, so there was no big celebration. Qi Buchen only sent a gift and did not show up.
Yinxiang paused for a moment and then returned to normal, as if he had heard nothing.
Yinzhen sneered, "Pug." He turned his head and asked Yin'e, "Why hasn't my brother come yet?"
Among these brothers, he is now closer to Yinsi, and he actually looks down on Yin'er and Yin'e, who are also close to Yinsi.
Yin'e was not a fool, so he understood his attitude and said indifferently, "I don't know." Then he stood up and went to find Yinxiang to help receive the guests.
Yinzhen frowned and glanced at Yin'er who was immersed in his own world, but he didn't go up to him to speak.
There weren't many guests who could bother these princes, so Yin'e just stood there bored.
"Tenth brother, please go and sit down. I can take care of it." Yinxiang said. Because of the relationship between his fourth brother and his fourth sister-in-law, and the fact that they had lived together in the prince's residence for so long, he had a good relationship with Yin'e and was often asked to drink together.
Yin'e stood lazily, looking around boredly: "It's quiet here, leave me alone."
Yinxiang stood there for a moment, his mouth shut, before he couldn't help but ask, "Tenth Brother, did Tenth Sister-in-law ask Fourth Sister-in-law for the recipe?"
At the beginning of this year, Kangxi finally remembered that his two older and unlucky sons had not yet married. In order to save trouble, he simply set the wedding date for the two on the same day and welcomed the Ninth and Tenth Concubines into the palace together.
Qi Buchen was speechless when he found out. He could only be thankful that the bride didn't enter the wrong door.
Now they have decided on a residence for the two of them, right on this street, and they will move out as soon as it is ready.
"What recipe?" Yin'e looked at him strangely.
Yinxiang took a private look and leaned in like a thief, saying, "A secret recipe for having children. They say Fourth Sister-in-law gave birth to three children in one pregnancy because she has a secret recipe. The ones in my backyard have hinted to me several times, asking me to ask Fourth Sister-in-law for it." He said a little shyly, "How can I, a grown man, tell Fourth Sister-in-law about it? If Tenth Sister-in-law wants it, can you make a copy for my brother?"
Yin'e rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "You still know you're a grown man? Those women in the backyard are making noises, just tell them to shut up. You've made yourself so embarrassed, don't tell anyone else that you're my brother!"
Perhaps he was really disgusted, for after saying this, Yin'e walked away, leaving Yinxiang alone and embarrassed, reflecting on whether he was really too cowardly.
"Ninth brother." Yinsi came late and greeted Yinzhen, "Where's the tenth brother?"
Yinzhen had been struggling with Peanuts, and only then did he realize that the people around him were gone: "Hey, where are they? Why are they gone?"
Yinzhen came over and said with a smile, "Tenth brother went to help the master."
Yinsi easily caught the hint of disdain in his expression. After a slight pause, he smiled and said, "It's time to help. These triplets are very rare, and everyone wants to share in their good fortune."
His tone was filled with unconcealed envy. Everyone was only interested in the wife. He used to be able to use Yinzhen to encourage himself, saying that he would have children. Wouldn't it take a while for his fourth sister-in-law to give birth? But now that the triplets were born, there was no news from Baya. He could no longer use Yinzhen to comfort himself.
"Suffering from all kinds of illnesses and disasters, what kind of blessing is that?" Yinzhen seemed to want to mutter in a low voice, but his voice was heard by both Yinsi and Yinzhen.
But he smiled and asked as if nothing had happened: "Mynah bird lives next door, why are you here so late?"
Yinsi and Yin'er could only pretend not to hear. Yin'er continued to fight with Peanuts, while Yinsi replied vaguely, "I accidentally stained my clothes before leaving the house."
In fact, Baya was in a bad mood and didn't want to come over. He coaxed her for a long time before he finally calmed her down.
Thinking of Baya, Yinsi couldn't help but sigh. He certainly had true feelings for her, but now, over the matter of the child, Baya had gone a little crazy. He could still coax and persuade her, but who would coax and persuade her? He really didn't know how long his true feelings could last without the child, and whether their love would not be worn away by the day-to-day quarrels and pain.
Yinsi picked up the wine glass and concealed the bitterness on his lips. Baya blamed his fourth sister-in-law for hiding the secret recipe for having a child from him, but when he personally asked Yinzhen for help, he knew that his fourth sister-in-law really did not have the secret recipe for having a child.
Because when he came to ask for help, Yinzhen told him in person: "If I had a choice, I would never let the princess get pregnant with triplets. It would be dangerous for both the adults and the children."
He believed this. In the past year, Prince Yong's Mansion had almost become another duty ward of the Imperial Hospital. Everyone could see this. It was a miracle that they were able to raise three children.
"Eighth brother, I will probably have to move out of the palace and build my own residence after the New Year. I am currently working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Can you recommend a residence for me?" Yinzhen said enthusiastically.
In this year's selection, his and Yinzhen Yinxiang's wives have been decided. His mother also asked the emperor, and it is likely that the three of them will move out of the palace and build their own houses next year, and then marry wives.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen glanced at Yinlu subtly with disdain in his eyes. He had a mother who was also one of the four concubines, but she was such a waste that she couldn't get any favor from the emperor. She had the nerve to become a transparent person like Yinlu.
Yinsi smiled and greeted a new guest from afar, but his peripheral vision failed to miss Yinzhen's movements. Glancing at Yinzhen, who seemed to be oblivious to the situation, he sighed inwardly and said with a gentle smile, "Okay, come to my house later and I'll show you the blueprints."
Yinzhen was waiting for him to say this: "Okay, I'll come to visit you when my eighth brother is on leave."
After chatting for a while, Yin'e came back from somewhere.
Yinsi asked with a smile: "Where have you been, Tenth Brother? I didn't even see you when I came."
Yin'e was quite leisurely: "Honghui has some interesting things, I went to take a look."
"Tsk." Yinzhen's sneer sounded just at the right moment.
Yin'e's eyes narrowed, but seeing that he was facing the other side and didn't seem to be listening to him, there was no reason for him to get angry.
Yinsi's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard Yinzhi's voice. He smiled and sighed, "Tenth brother has a pure heart, but Fourth sister-in-law's new toy shop, although it is for children, does have a lot of ingenuity."
Before Yin'e could speak, Yinzhen said, "It's just a strange trick. Only women like to spend time on it."
These words offended two people at once. Yin'e looked at him unfriendly, and even Yin'er, who had always seemed like an outsider, raised his head and stared at Yin'er.
He also likes to invent and modify some small gadgets.
Yinsi's smile was unusually stiff: "Fourteenth brother, you're exaggerating. The Mohist mechanism can't be called a gimmick."
Although those toys incorporate many Western elements, their basic techniques are still those of Mohism and Lu Ban.
"Tsk." Yinzhen laughed playfully, "It was just a joke, why did you brothers take it so seriously?"
Yinsi laughed and changed the subject.
Yinzhen arrived last, and the banquet began as soon as he arrived.
Yin'e heard Yinzhen muttering again: "What a big air, he really thinks he is the Great Thousand Years Old."
Yin'e almost lost control of the food he was holding with his chopsticks and dropped it on himself. He glanced at Yinzhen, then at Yin'er and Yinsi in turn, and made a decision in his heart.
He was about to move out of the palace to build his own residence, which was so close to Yinsi's residence. He decided to persuade Yin'er one last time. If Yin'er didn't listen, he shouldn't blame him for putting aside their brotherhood of all these years.
As a "fool" he dared not get close to the hot stove of Da Qiansui. Who knew if he would end up getting burned?
In comparison, he would rather see his fourth brother's disgusting face.
Yes, just learn from Fourth Brother and live with his wife behind closed doors!
But when he thought of his wife, Yin'e felt a headache again. Why couldn't Borjigit be more like his fourth sister-in-law? Wouldn't it be better to be a little gentler and more virtuous?
In response to this, Yinzhen had to say, "Tenth brother, you have too thick a filter for your fourth sister-in-law."
The gentle and virtuous Qi Buchen was entertaining the female family in the backyard, holding the triplets for everyone to see.
"Oh, she looks so good, like a princess."
"Hey, why do the triplets look so different to me?"
"It's better if they don't look alike. That way we can tell them apart."
"Exactly. Well, I don't even ask for triplets. Twins would be great."
"Who wouldn't want to? By the way, Princess, tell us how you got pregnant with triplets."
"Yes, Princess, you can't be so self-sufficient. Please teach us any secrets you have."
Now, if you ask the noble ladies in the capital what they want to know most, eleven out of ten will tell you that they want to know the secret of Princess Yong's triplets. This may be the reason why so many guests came today.
Now that someone was taking the lead, everyone started to make a fuss.
Qi Buchen was helpless. She had expected someone to ask her about this today, but she hadn't expected such a collective barrage. She couldn't help but answer. Seeing that all the women in the room were married, she boldly said, "I swear, I really don't have any secrets. Although I know some tricks to help with pregnancy, they have nothing to do with triplets. Seriously, I'm a puppy if I lied to you. Back then, I went into the delivery room and gave birth to two before I found out about the third. If I had a secret to having triplets, how could I have been so flustered when the time came?"
The women looked at each other, wanting to say they didn't believe it, but since the princess had sworn an oath, they didn't think she would be so cruel for a secret recipe.
"Then Princess, can you tell us about those little tips to help you get pregnant?" someone asked.
"Of course." Qi Buchen simply shared some pregnancy preparation tips in front of everyone, including ovulation day, time and techniques for intercourse.
Some young wives who had just gotten married blushed when they heard this, but although they covered their faces with their hands, their ears were perked up, for fear of missing a single word.
In comparison, women who have given birth are obviously much more generous. They even ask questions directly about some uncertainties, and Qi Buchen answers them one by one.
Just as everyone was about to be appeased, Baya suddenly spoke up, "No matter what, there must be a reason for her to be pregnant with triplets, right? No other married woman from the Ulanara clan has ever been pregnant with triplets."
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Qi Buchen looked at her with a smile, rolled his eyes, and suddenly covered his face with a handkerchief, saying shyly: "Maybe... maybe my prince is so powerful."
"Puff!" Someone who was drinking water sprayed.
Suddenly the silent crowd seemed to come alive.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The women exchanged glances, each with an expression that said "I understand, I understand", but they didn't say a word and just smiled foolishly.
If someone who didn't know the situation walked in, they might think this was some large-scale mental illness scene.
