Honghui, standing to the side, also said earnestly, "Because I once left the palace and saw officials distributing porridge to famine-stricken people, so that they would not go hungry and could survive. I know that this was all done by my grandfather. My grandfather is the emperor, and he works diligently every day so that the people can live well."
Looking into the innocent and sincere eyes of Honghui and Yilejia, Kangxi felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring. He laughed heartily, "Good, good, good, my Honghui and Yilejia are both sincere people."
Rouyin watched Honghui and Yilejia making Kangxi laugh heartily. She quietly acted as a beautiful decoration, thinking that this could be considered an early start to the days when her children would win without her having to lift a finger.
Consort De watched this scene with satisfaction, and at the opportune moment, chimed in, "Honghui and Yilejia are both good children, but I haven't seen the quadruplets yet." Her tone was half-true and half-false; she genuinely wanted to see the quadruplets, and also genuinely wanted His Majesty to give them more attention. Hearing this, the sensible Honghui and Yilejia also said, "Grandpa Emperor, the little brothers are so cute! They can blow bubbles and roll over!"
Kangxi was in high spirits. He carefully led the two children to the main seat. The main seat was large enough. He pulled Honghui and Yilejia to sit on either side of him and said in a cheerful tone, "Is that so? Bring the quadruplets over."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the nanny waiting below replied respectfully.
Now the main seat was occupied by four people. Not to mention how great an honor it was to sit in the same seat as Emperor Kangxi, Liang Jiugong was secretly amazed at the scene. His Majesty didn't seem to mind the crowd at all!
On the other side, seeing Consort De, who resembled Hongzhou so much, she removed her nail guards, picked up the child, and gazed at his crescent-shaped eyes, seemingly veiled in mist, as he giggled. He looked even more like herself. A soft, yielding feeling settled in her heart; she finally understood Kangxi's emotions. Looking at the child she had imagined, she felt a genuine joy and tenderness. No wonder Kangxi reacted this way today…
The Ulanara clan is truly blessed!
