"I specially had a set of pink clothes and hat designed for her, so that she would look beautiful and all the brothers would be envious."
Qingyin couldn't help but twitch her lips as she looked at the large words displayed on the system screen: 【Both genders are male.】
It seems that the prince's wish cannot be fulfilled this time. Qingyin raised an eyebrow. Perhaps one of the little darlings could offer herself up and dress in pink to show off to their father.
Since the master wants a young girl so much, she shouldn't shatter his hopes. She should make him happy. The understanding Qingyin smiled and nodded, "Alright, then the master will have to prepare well."
Yinzhen nodded excitedly, unaware of Qingyin's amused gaze. He was engrossed in the scene of showing off his beautiful little princess and beautiful wife to others in the future.
The autumn wind was getting stronger. Yinzhen was worried that Qingyin would get cold, so he took Qingyin's small hand and walked back: "It's getting windy, let's go back inside."
Qingyin nodded, and they walked together into the courtyard.
As autumn approached and the weather grew colder, Yinzhen wanted Qingyin to move around outside, only allowing her to walk around inside.
In the same month, the imperial physician also diagnosed that the concubine was pregnant with twins and triplets. When the palace learned of this news, a large number of rewards were sent, which also aroused more envy and jealousy in Yinzhen.
In the late winter of the 45th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, as spring arrived, Qingyin gave birth to four princes.
Looking at his four sons, whom he couldn't even hold in one arm, Yinzhen's eyes were filled with confusion and a silly, happy expression. Although all four sons were good-looking, none of them were pretty little princesses. So, who were the pink and delicate clothes he had prepared for?
The midwives thought the Ninth Prince was so happy he went crazy, and they all said congratulatory and auspicious words.
When Emperor Kangxi heard the news in the palace, his joy was mixed with a hint of shock: "Are there really four little princes?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Consort Lin has safely given birth to four little princes." Liang Jiugong happily relayed the news. As eunuchs, they loved to spread such joyous news, as His Majesty would reward them handsomely if he was pleased.
"Very good, very good. Lady Lin has rendered meritorious service by giving birth to auspicious omens. The four little princes will be named Hongzheng, Hongzhang, Hongxiang, and Hongji. (This is based on historical fact.)"
"Wait a moment." Kangxi stopped Liang Jiugong, who was bringing the good news. After thinking for a while, the Ninth Prince had no other ideas. The Lin family was indeed rare, so he would waive the Ninth Prince's request.
"By my decree, Lady Lin has rendered meritorious service, possesses a virtuous and gentle nature, and is of good character and virtue... I find this woman to be excellent, and hereby designate her as the primary consort of Yinzhen."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liang Jiugong suppressed his shock. He really didn't expect His Majesty to have such a good impression of Consort Lin. However, thinking about Consort Lin's heavenly beauty and the four auspicious little princes, Liang Jiugong could understand it very well.
Meanwhile, the eunuchs who brought His Majesty's gifts and imperial edicts to Prince He's residence were on one side, while the other princes, upon learning that the Ninth Prince had four sons, had different expressions, all envious of the Ninth Prince's good fortune.
