Yin Qingyi was a little nervous. Could it be that they would still name him Hongli and Hongzhou? They weren't born to the same person anymore, so it shouldn't be, right? Yin Qingyi prayed in her heart that it wouldn't be. If it were Yinzhen who named him, she would still have a say, but since it was Kangxi who named him, she had no say at all.
If Yin Qingyi were to hear this worry from her consort, she would be furious. How she wished that her son's name was bestowed by the Emperor himself! But her own child had received this honor, while the child of this wretched woman beside her had. How could the consort not be angry? This was the most difficult year for the consort since she entered the palace.
"The eldest is Hongxi, the second is Hongyou, and the third is Shujue." Yinzhen thought all three names were good. In fact, regardless of whether they were good or not, they were all chosen by Kangxi, so they could only be considered good. Moreover, these names were genuinely good; it was clear that they had been thought of for a long time rather than being impromptu.
"What wonderful names! It seems His Majesty adores these three children." Consort De praised them profusely upon hearing this.
"Then I shall depart. If I delay any longer, I fear I will miss my chance." Yinzhen merely wanted to share this news with his beloved woman. After speaking, he glanced at Consort Yin, but seeing that she was not looking at him, he could only turn to speak to Consort De.
"Yes, go quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold and wear more clothes." Consort De nodded, and also showed concern for her eldest son.
"Your subject understands, thank you for your concern, Mother." Yinzhen pursed his lips, feeling a warmth in his heart. Regardless of what his mother was trying to do by treating him better these past few months, he still appreciated her concern.
After Yinzhen left, Consort De didn't look at the Fourth Prince's wife. She didn't need to look to know that the Fourth Prince's wife's expression would definitely not be good, so why should she look at that face and spoil her mood?
"Go and rest quickly, you can rest for a while longer." Consort De patted Consort Yin's hand and then left with Zhang Mama's help.
Yin Qingyi glanced at the Fujin (consort), then left with her entourage. The Yonghe Palace of the Consort De was quite large, at least enough to accommodate all of them temporarily.
As the others left, leaving only herself, the Fujin nearly ground her teeth to powder. Had she not retained her composure, everything in the room would likely have been destroyed. She grabbed Honghui's hand and, without thinking, used considerable force.
“…Mother.” Honghui endured the pain in his hand but couldn’t help calling out.
The Fujin was already feeling resentful, and seeing how well Honghui had played with that vixen's child just now made her feel even worse. When she heard Honghui's shout, she instinctively glared at him. When she saw Honghui's pained little face, she was stunned and realized that she had been holding Honghui's hand too tightly. She quickly let go, feeling a little awkward. However, she didn't seem to care about Honghui and left with a sullen face.
Honghui, standing behind his mother, was confused about what he had done to offend her. His little face showed fear and unease. He wanted to go forward and take his mother's hand but didn't dare. It was Yuegui who couldn't bear to see him like this and took Honghui's hand, leading him away.
For the next ten days or so, she had to go to the palace to kneel and pay respects every day. Except for the first three days when she brought the three children to the palace, she did not bring them with her after that. After all, the children were still young. Even adults could not withstand such a torment for more than ten days, let alone such young children.
As they say, bad things don't always come true, and good ones do. On the fifth day, Honghui couldn't get up. They were in a hurry to get to the palace, and it wasn't good to call the imperial physician during the New Year, so Yinzhen could only have the family physician look after him. He also left Su Peisheng behind, so that if anything happened, Su Peisheng could come to the palace to see him. He took his wife and Consort Yin with him into the palace. His wife was worried about Honghui, and her face was pale. Consort Yin wanted to say that his wife deserved it, but she felt sorry for Honghui. She had mentioned it on the third day when she hadn't taken the three children with her; Honghui was only four or five years old, and a few days' absence would be fine, otherwise, he wouldn't rest or eat well, which wouldn't be good for the child. But his wife seemed to be deliberately going against her wishes, insisting on taking Honghui with her, even Yinzhen's words didn't work. And now, things had gone wrong.
Yinzhen and his wife knelt anxiously for the entire morning. After the meeting ended, Yinzhen immediately spotted Su Peisheng waiting at the door. His heart sank, and he quickly walked over. His wife naturally saw him too, but since they weren't traveling together, she couldn't go over no matter how worried she was. Fortunately, seeing Yinzhen go over, she felt somewhat relieved.
"How is Honghui?" Yinzhen asked in a low voice.
"Prince Honghui has a high fever, and the imperial physician says it's probably not good." Su Peisheng's face was also pale. Such a thing happening during the New Year is truly...sigh.
"...Go and fetch the imperial physician. If possible, also invite Vice-Director Li to take a look." Although Yinzhen knew that Su Peisheng's arrival wouldn't be a good sign, he hadn't expected it to be this bad. He couldn't leave at the moment, so he could only ask Su Peisheng to fetch the imperial physician. At this point, he couldn't care less about good or bad luck; the child's life was more important.
"This servant has already been to the Imperial Hospital. Vice President Li is not here today, and I don't know if he is at home." Su Peisheng naturally thought of Vice President Li immediately. Vice President Li's medical skills are superb, and the fact that he has risen to the position of vice president in such a short time is enough to prove it. Moreover, they have personally witnessed his skills. Every time, it was Vice President Li who cured that concubine.
"Then let's ask the other imperial physicians first. After we get back, go to Vice-President Li's house to see if he's home." Yinzhen frowned slightly, but he didn't take his anger out on Yin Hengyi. He just gave Su Peisheng these instructions.
"Yes, this servant will go right away." Su Peisheng quickly agreed and left in a hurry.
"Fourth Prince, your servant wasn't with you today. Is something wrong at home that he's come looking for you now?" The First Prince, Yinti, had already seen the scene and stood at a distance watching until Su Peisheng left before stepping forward to ask.
"Thank you for your concern, elder brother. It's nothing." Yinzhen took two steps back, his face returning to its usual expressionless state.
"Sigh~ Fourth Brother, I'm just concerned about you, why are you still so rigid?" Yinzhen disliked Yinzhen's expressionless face the most, as if everyone owed him a lot of money.
“My younger brother has always been like this, didn’t you already know that, elder brother?” Yinzhen replied expressionlessly.
"..." Yinti was speechless at Yinzhen's words, staring at him with wide eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"What are you two doing standing here? Aren't you cold?" Yin Zhi's voice rang out from behind, looking at Yin Zhen and Yin Ti with great curiosity. Why don't you hurry back inside and stand here in the cold wind?
