After all, there must be something wrong if she doesn't mind.
If she becomes too rowdy, she'll be even more annoying.
Sherry was overjoyed. She was so clever; she had a perfect grasp of the feelings of lovesick men and women!
Those storybooks were definitely worth studying; they taught both how to get rich and how to win people's hearts.
Yinzhen also secretly sent her a lot of money and treasures, and even gave her a wet nurse, and secretly arranged for several of his people to be with her.
Sherry was very satisfied; her emotional value was maximized.
She showered him with compliments without repeating herself, but there was no need for erotic pictures; she was pregnant and afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself!
Yinzhen always maintained a calm expression, his slightly curved lips indicating that he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
After the New Year, on April 16th of the 36th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1697), the Fujin (wife of the emperor) went into labor.
After a whole night of labor, she gave birth to a daughter.
The princess had actually taken her pulse when she was four or five months pregnant, so she already had a good idea of what was going on.
Seeing the child now brings both joy and regret.
Yinzhen was fairly pleased to hear that the mother and daughter were safe, after all, he really didn't have many children.
The princess named her daughter Galo, which means swan.
Three months later, Sydney went into labor!
She gave birth to a son in two hours!
The princess consort, who was guarding the main hall, almost lost her composure upon receiving the news.
Clutching the handkerchief tightly in her hand, she took two deep breaths before finally managing to laugh.
"Very well, Yaotai Pavilion will receive half a month's allowance. Fenfang, arrange for someone to send a message to the master!"
"Yes, Madam!" Fenfang, who was serving, quickly replied.
"This servant thanks the Lady for the reward!" The wet nurse and the servants in the courtyard all knelt down.
The princess looked at the servants kneeling all over the courtyard and suddenly felt much better.
No matter what, even a bondservant would have to kneel before her if she gave birth to a son!
Thinking of this, the princess's smile became much more genuine.
"Alright, take the child away! I'll leave this courtyard to Granny Yu!"
"This servant obeys!" Granny Yu replied neither servilely nor arrogantly.
Yu Mama was the health care nanny that Yinzhen arranged for her.
Right now, the nanny is keeping a close eye on Baoyin and the little prince, making sure that the master has no worries!
Under the guidance of Granny Yu, Luo Yu and the others grew up one by one.
After returning home and seeing her daughter, the wife felt somewhat melancholy.
"Granny, shouldn't we kill them?!"
Granny Gui massaged the Fujin's shoulders and said gently, "Your Highness, let's let things blossom before we reap the rewards! The Master is keeping an eye on Consort Li..."
"Yes, he warned me! Does he like Li Shi that much?" The Fujin was puzzled and confused. Her mother had told her that she was a wife of a prominent family, and that having children and respect was enough. But why did she feel such disgust for Li Shi?
"This servant thinks that Master's indifferent nature and frequent trips over there are only because of the child!" Granny Gui was afraid that her master had fallen into the whirlpool of love, as the Fujin of the Nara Mansion had warned her.
This woman's life would be much easier if she stayed away from romantic relationships.
"Perhaps! She'd better behave herself! If she acts as arrogantly as she did after her confinement last time, I, the wife, won't hesitate to make her turn her joy into sorrow!" The wife closed her eyes, concealing the ruthlessness in them.
"She wouldn't dare, she wouldn't even dare to argue with you right now!" Granny Gui quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"...Alright, bring the little princess here, let me see her!" Upon hearing this, the Fujin looked at Granny Gui with a complicated expression.
Since when is it something to praise that Li doesn't dare to talk back to her?! With such a humble family background, she was just lucky to have given birth to a son and a daughter!
"Yes!" Knowing that the Princess Consort was unhappy, Granny Gui hurried to the side hall.
When Yinzhen received the news, he was overjoyed; he finally had a son!
Several colleagues and brothers also congratulated him with cupped hands. Soon, the palace also learned that the fourth prince had a son!
The gifts from the empresses were also delivered one after another.
Even though he's a son born out of wedlock, he's still of royal blood, isn't he?!
Those who returned with Yinzhen also included the names given to them by Kangxi.
Hongyi. Yi means success upon arrival and a humble gentleman.
The combination of Hongyi and Yi signifies: extraordinary style, skillful execution, and ambition.
Sherry was quite happy to receive the message when she woke up the next day.
After all, in his previous life, Hongfen's character "fen" meant sunlight. Its connotation wasn't particularly prominent or clear.
It can be said that the character "昐" has a relatively ordinary meaning in terms of naming, without any specific or strong symbolic significance.
Yes, that's a perfect name for an illegitimate son.
The character “晖” has a very rich and positive connotation.
Its basic meaning refers to sunlight, and it also generally refers to brilliance.
Therefore, it is often used to describe a bright, radiant, and dazzling scene.
In personal names, the character 晖 (huī) implies brilliance, magnanimity, and achievements, and also symbolizes the qualities of being radiant, positive, and virtuous.
Emperor Kangxi was deeply influenced by Han culture and valued his legitimate sons, which was evident in their names.
In this life, because the Fujin gave birth to a daughter, Xue Li, being Yinzhen's eldest son born out of wedlock, naturally had a name that was not so ordinary.
Yinzhen looked at her with gentle eyes, and Xue Li smiled happily.
Baoyin came running over, ignoring her father for the first time, and looked at Xue Li with teary eyes.
"Did Baoyin cry?!" Xue Li leaned back and gently rubbed her soft, fair face.
The little girl, tears clinging to her eyelashes, pouted and shook her head: "I'm very good, I listen to my mother!"
"Hmm, our Baoyin is the best girl. How about I reward you with a little brother?" Xue Li thought her little girl was so thoughtful.
The little girl's dark eyes were wide open.
"My little brother is in Mother's belly!"
Sherry watched as Luo Yu entered with her wet nurse, and a pink baby was in swaddling clothes.
The little girl stared in disbelief at Xue Li, then at her younger brother, and then at Luo Yu.
"Little brother?" The baby voice was so cute.
“Yes, little brother!” Shirley wanted to hug him, but Yinzhen took him from her.
Yinzhen leaned against the bedside so she could lean on him, and also showed Baoyin her younger brother.
A little while later, Baoyin went out, saying she was going to pick up the gift she had prepared for her younger brother.
Yinzhen reprimanded several servants and carried Hongyi away before holding her tightly in his arms.
"Fei'er, thank you!"
Sherry smiled gently, kissed him, and then began to eat.
Yinzhen quietly stayed with her for a while before leaving for the palace.
Two days later, Shirley received an imperial decree, and she was promoted from a concubine to a secondary consort.
It was seven or eight years earlier than in history.
Sherry was in an even better mood.
In contrast, the Fujin (wife of the emperor) felt resentful upon seeing Yinzhen's appearance.
When she gave birth to Galo, the master didn't come often.
Even if I came, I wouldn't feel nearly as excited as I do now.
The princess's eyes were deep. Whether it was because of Lady Li or the prince, no one could surpass the legitimate son!
So what if she's a concubine? A difference of just one word, and she's still at the mercy of others!
After much mental preparation, Lady Ulanara heard that Su Peisheng, who served her master, had brought over jade jewelry.
A smile spread across the Princess Consort's face: "Has the Master returned to the manor? I'll have someone prepare things right away!"
