And a reward? Yin Zuo didn't directly order Fourteenth to be kicked out. That was because he was born from the same mother as him. So at this moment, he just pretended to be deaf and didn't listen. Fourteenth chanted...
After this incident, Fourteenth had indeed restrained himself a lot more than before. Although he would occasionally use his Sixth Brother's words as a token of authority to come to Yinzuo to ask for money, he never came in like a swarm of locusts or bandits entering the village. Yinzuo had never been a man short of money, so as long as Fourteenth didn't do anything too excessive, he would generally turn a blind eye and let him do as he pleased.
The days passed quickly amidst all the fighting and joking. It seemed as if he had just learned yesterday that he was going to be a father, and in the blink of an eye he would meet his child. Yinzuo sat outside the delivery room listening to Wuren Tuya's painful screams inside. Not only did his brows furrow, but his heart was also twisted into a knot.
"Doctor Wang, it's been two hours. Are you sure this is normal?"
Doctor Wang glanced at Yinzuo's anxious face and felt so worried. Why was his life so miserable? He was not proficient in gynecology, so why did the Emperor send him here? But even though Doctor Wang felt as if he had drunk bitter melon juice, he had to answer Yinzuo's questions.
"Don't worry, Prince. This is how it happens when women give birth. Concubine Fujin has just begun, so I think there's still some time to wait. If everything goes well, it will be almost over in a few hours..."
Well, when Yinzuo heard what Doctor Wang said, he knew that the only solution now was to wait. So even if there were thorns on the chair, he had to sit there as steady as a mountain. After all, he was the mainstay of Enze Garden and he couldn't let things get out of hand.
Yinzuo was waiting anxiously at the door of the delivery room, and Kangxi was also waiting anxiously at Qingxi Book House. Although he had no idea how many grandchildren he had, there is a saying that goes, "Love the house and love the dog too." Yinzuo's children were somewhat different to Kangxi.
"Liang Jiugong, don't just stand there. This is the first time Xiaoliu and his wife have experienced such a scene. The garden is probably in chaos right now. Although I have sent the imperial physician, I am still worried. So, you should personally take people over to keep an eye on it and report any news immediately."
Kangxi's worries were not unreasonable. When Liang Jiugong and his men arrived, Yinzuo was circling at the door of the delivery room. When he saw Liang Jiugong coming, he was stunned and stopped circling.
"Eunuch Liang, why are you here? What's going on with Khan Ama?"
It's no wonder that Yinzuo asked this, because he really couldn't figure out why Liang Jiugong brought people here at this critical moment. Liang Jiugong glanced at the palace servants who were still in order at the door of the delivery room, and then looked at Doctor Wang who was standing beside him with a sad face, then he smiled and bowed to Yinzuo.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. There's nothing wrong with His Majesty. He's been looking forward to the birth of his little grandson ever since he got the news. He couldn't wait any longer and simply sent this servant over to keep an eye on him. When this servant arrived, His Majesty instructed me to report back immediately if there was any news."
Giving birth is extremely dangerous even in modern times, let alone in the Qing Dynasty. This was Wuren Tuya's first child, so it was naturally even more difficult for her. Fortunately, the child in her belly was sensible and did not torture his mother for a long time. Facing the first rays of morning sun in the sky, the little prince of our Zhaojun Palace was born.
"Oh my, this is too ugly, Dexi. You said that my wife and I were both pretty good-looking, but how come the son we gave birth to looks even more like a monkey than when he was fourteen? Do you think he can be saved?"
Listen, does this sound like something an Ama would say? It must be that the little prince doesn't understand these words yet, otherwise there would probably be some commotion. Dexi looked speechlessly at his master, who was holding the little prince and laughing like a fool. He couldn't help but curl his lips, then turned and walked over to Suhazi, and together they distributed rewards to the people serving in the delivery room.
"I would like to congratulate the Prince on the birth of his son. His Majesty is probably still waiting, so I will take my leave now."
Although the weather is neither cold nor hot now, it is naturally not suitable for a newborn baby to stay outside. After hearing what Liang Jiugong said, Yinzuo held the child in front of him and let him take a look at him. Then he handed the child to the wet nurse waiting on the side and asked her to take the child back to the house. He took a purse from Dexi and stuffed it into Liang Jiugong's hand.
"Thank you for the trip today, Eunuch Liang. Go back and tell Khan Ama that his grandson is fine. Aside from being a little ugly, he has all the necessary limbs. When he's older, I'll take him to pay his respects to Mafa."
It must be said that Kangxi really attached great importance to this grandson. Not only did he send a lot of things to the child on the day of his birth, but on the day of the baby's third-day bathing ceremony, he even asked Liang Jiugong to send one of his own jade pendants to add to the baby's basin. Of course, the child's name was also sent along with the jade pendant - that's right, our little brother was given a name only three days after he was born. After three days of deep thought, his grandfather gave him a name with good meaning - Hongxu, which means the rising sun.
Although it was the baby's third-day baptism ceremony, the protagonist, little Hongxu, was merely carried out and shown to his uncles and aunts before being taken back to Fangfei Garden. As Hongxu's father, Yinzuo naturally replaced his son and became the protagonist of the banquet.
"Sixth brother, when my nephew grows up, I must tell him how his father treated him when he was born. He said that besides being a little ugly, he had all the necessary limbs and that he looked like a monkey compared to his fourteenth uncle..."
Haha, when I heard you say that, I thought you were feeling unfair for your nephew. So this last sentence is the key point, right? Yinzuo glanced at the indignant Fourteenth, stood up, walked over to him, and slapped him.
"Okay, I'll wait. Besides, what did I say wrong? You did look like a monkey when you were born. I didn't say that. If you have the guts, go find Khan Ama and settle the score. Also, Fourteen, what's wrong with your brain? Even if Hongxu knew what I said, what can I do? I'm his father. Can I still be afraid of him?"
Yinzuo's words immediately silenced Fourteen. But just because someone is silent doesn't mean he's not thinking. Humph, so this is a family secret? Look how proud you are. What's the matter? Is praising your son for looking like a monkey something worth learning?
Alas, it turned out that humans do not share the same joys and sorrows. Fourteen was feeling depressed, but his brothers were just watching the fun and talking at once to prove that he did look like a monkey when he was born.
"Fourteen, please don't be so unconvinced. It's said that when you were just born, even Consort De shook her head. If you hadn't been in the sight of the head maid beside her since you were born, she would have suspected that you were switched."
