Empress Borjigit, on the verge of tears, walked out of Cining Palace with her back straight. Upon returning to Shou Kang Palace, she locked herself in, covered herself with a quilt, and wept bitterly.
Tongjia's words were still fresh in her mind. Now, the Empress Dowager was also giving her a difficult task. How could a lowly concubine who was not favored by the Emperor possibly do those things?
She is now filled with regret, wondering why she wanted to enter the palace and why she had come to wade into this mess.
Neither the Empress Dowager nor Lady Tongjia could be offended by her. Although they were both talking about the same thing, she simply couldn't do it!
The events at Shou Kang Palace were under constant surveillance by the secret guards. Although they didn't know exactly what Tongjia and the Empress Dowager had said, any move they made would be discovered.
Qingxi Palace.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, with this servant watching over them, the young prince and the princess will definitely be safe and sound."
Harigana was still worried. He had read in a novel that the baby should be splashed with cold water and willow branches during the third-day bath, and the louder the baby cried, the better.
I don't know who set this rule, no wonder the survival rate was so low in ancient times. Those who survived under such circumstances were all incredibly lucky.
"Granny Hu, you must keep a close eye on the baby and Beibei."
Hu Mama's lips twitched. Every time she heard this nickname, she wondered if the Emperor had someone switch the babies. Otherwise, would such a name really be suitable for a prince or princess?
"Yes! This servant obeys!"
The auspicious time was approaching, and she dared not delay, lest someone with ulterior motives make a fuss about it.
She watched with reluctance as the two children were taken away.
The baby's third-day celebration was a grand affair. The baby was born to a favored concubine and was also the first pair of twins (a boy and a girl) in the Qing Dynasty, so Kangxi naturally made it as grand as possible.
Yinreng lost his mother at birth, so no third-day celebration was held; only a full-month celebration was held.
Looking at his father, the Emperor, standing on the stage with a big smile on his face, Yinreng's eyes flickered. He wanted to say something to congratulate him, but he couldn't open his mouth. He even found the two little ones to be an eyesore.
Looking at the two children being wrapped in yellow cloths, even the little princess was dressed in yellow, it was as if they didn't take him, the crown prince, seriously at all.
He tightened his grip on his back, lowered his head, and exuded a low-pressure aura.
"Protect the success!"
Soetu gently patted his shoulder, his face full of heartache.
At this moment, Yinreng's dislike for the two children reached its peak.
Seeing the changes in Yinreng, Suo'etu was satisfied. He turned around, concealing the look of heartache on his face and replacing it with a broad smile.
The baby's third-day celebration was a great success. The two children are usually very quiet and don't cry or make a fuss.
But when the cold water touched them, their cries were deafening, even the little princess's voice was very loud, not much quieter than the prince's.
"Take him down!"
Emperor Kangxi felt sorry for him.
The little one was crying terribly, and he wanted to go over and comfort it, but there were too many people, so he couldn't do that.
Su Rina, holding the little princess, and Hu Mama, holding the little prince, received Emperor Kangxi's order and immediately led the two children away.
Saenjiya also left. They were leaving tomorrow and wanted to talk to their daughter a little longer while Kangxi was away from Qingxi Palace.
As for the others, they all stayed at the palace banquet.
"Mother, how are you? Are you alright?"
Harigana heard the commotion outside and went to the door to greet them.
"Go back quickly, or you'll be scolded again if the Emperor finds out you've arrived at the gate."
Saenjiya was also helpless. Kangxi was just too cautious. Not only did he not allow Harigana to go to the front hall, but he also wouldn't let Harigana near the door of the inner palace, for fear of being caught by the wind.
When she heard this, she glanced at the tightly closed outer hall and said nothing.
On the grasslands, some women go back to work the day after giving birth; there's no such thing as being waited on hand and foot during postpartum confinement.
Summer is fine, but in winter, cow dung is burned inside the yurt, so the door needs to be opened regularly for ventilation.
However, seeing that both parties were willing to give and take, she didn't say anything and refused to be the bad guy.
It's good that she can have a proper postpartum recovery; Harigana is blessed, and she should be happy.
"oh!"
She released her grip on the door, stepped back, and glanced outside, searching for the two children.
"Granny Hu and the others have taken you to change your clothes. Go back and lie down. They'll bring them over for you to see in a little while."
Everything is fine, don't worry.
Harigana's heart finally settled down. Although she had only carried him away for less than a quarter of an hour, it felt like several hours had passed.
Holding onto Saenja's arm, she said, "Mother, you've worked so hard!"
"You!"
Saenja reached out and tapped her nose, her eyes full of affection.
I sat on the bed and listened to her tell me about what happened at the banquet. It was such a pity she couldn't attend.
"When the full moon is over, Mother and Abu won't be here, so you need to be careful, okay?"
Harigana was taken aback. He had expected them to leave, but he hadn't anticipated it would happen so quickly.
She hadn't thought much of it before they arrived, but after spending these few days together, she found herself very reluctant to leave.
"Mother, do we really have to leave so early?"
Yesterday, Kangxi told her that the baby's one-month celebration would be held together with her promotion ceremony, and that the event would be very grand. She wanted Sai Enji and the others to accompany her.
Seneja stroked her hair, her eyes filled with reluctance, but they had to leave, and they had to leave quickly.
"My daughter, you're all alone in the capital now that you have a child. From now on, you need to think things through more carefully. Don't be like you used to be, thinking nothing mattered. Do you understand?"
