After pressing the person down on the couch and "interrogating" them for a long time, Qian Shengyan finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
The matter is quite simple. After careful selection, Yinzhen found the Niohuru Lingzhu family. This was not only because of the Niohuru surname and the relationship with Ebilun, but also because the family had only one son and had a daughter who died at the age of eleven. Qian Shengyan was the perfect replacement for that girl.
Qian Shengyan understood the previous situation, but asked, "Why does Your Highness want to elevate my status?"
"What do you think?" Yinzhen rolled his eyes at her. "Silly girl, you don't care about anything yourself, and I have to take care of everything for you."
Qian Shengyan: Huh?
What did you do? Did you find her a home?
"It will make it easier for you to be included in the imperial genealogy later," Yinzhen said simply.
Qian Shengyan was still confused: "But, as a concubine, I don't need to be listed in the imperial genealogy?"
Yinzhen: ...
After being looked at by Yinzhen with a disappointed gaze for a moment, Qian Shengyan belatedly realized something—there was only one concubine in the mansion now.
It's possible to get promoted again...
Once she was promoted to the rank of concubine, she could be registered in the imperial genealogy under the name... Niohuru Shengyan...
Qian Shengyan pursed her lips, unsure of what to say, but seeing the man's slightly proud expression, she silently hugged him and buried her head in his chest.
Yinzhen didn't know what she was thinking. He just patted her shoulder and hugged her tightly: "There will be many things to do after the New Year. Before Hongli's birthday, I will definitely find an opportunity to ask you for a title."
"Hmm," Qian Shengyan responded with a nasal tone, then added in a muffled voice, "I'm not in a hurry for that."
She was just thinking that she would probably never see her parents from her past life again...
Her voice choked slightly: "But I still want the surname Qian..."
This is probably the only connection she has with her biological parents, and she doesn't want to change it... Although Niu Hulu Shengyan sounds very powerful, Qian Shengyan is a name her parents gave her together, and she doesn't want to change it.
Call her pretentious or whatever, she wants to protect her child, her surname, and become a concubine. Isn't she trying to have it all?
Perhaps she really was too greedy...
Yinzhen laughed, his chest heaving with laughter.
He added, "You're really stupid... Niohuru is just a way to elevate your status, who said you have to change your name? Niohuru Qian Shengyan is fine too, whatever you want."
Qian Shengyan: ...
She dared not look up again.
I'm so embarrassed...
"Alright, alright. You're getting more and more spoiled." Yinzhen patted her back, somewhat amused. "I wanted to cheer you up, but I've made things worse, haven't I?"
“No…” Qian Shengyan looked up, her face flushed, “Thank you, sir.”
"Hmm, just words?" Yinzhen raised an eyebrow, his phoenix eyes full of amusement.
Qian Shengyan tilted her head and looked at him for a moment, then thought for a moment and smiled, "Then let's bring in two more new girls for Master?"
Yinzhen: ?
Qian Shengyan: "Two aren't enough, we can have a few more."
Yinzhen: ...
Yinzhen gritted his teeth and slapped her lightly, amused: "You're such a chatterbox!"
The two laughed and joked around for a while, then took a nap.
After the New Year, from the first to the fifth day of the lunar new year, Yinzhen had to pay his respects to the emperor every day. He was supposed to stay in the palace for a day, but now that Kangxi was in Changchun Garden, he didn't like to see the princes. So they went to pay their respects early every day and were usually sent back before noon.
On the sixth day, Yinzhen finally didn't have to get up early and had breakfast with Qian Shengyan and Hongli.
Ten-month-old Foerguochun has started eating some porridge, but she doesn't seem satisfied with that. She keeps staring at the steamed buns on Qian Shengyan's chopsticks and smacking her lips.
"My little sister seems very hungry." Hongli couldn't help but keep looking at her because of the kisses from Foerguochun, and suggested, "Mother, let my little sister try some steamed buns."
"...She only has five teeth, she can't bite them." Qian Shengyan found it amusing.
But Fuerguochun's eyes were so full of longing that Hongli felt sorry for his sister and secretly broke off a piece of bun skin and stuffed it into Fuerguochun's mouth.
Fuerguochun immediately started eating with her little mouth moving. After finishing, she made a "crunching" sound and tried to tug at Hongli. Hongli felt a little guilty and subconsciously looked at Yinzhen and Qian Shengyan.
Qian Shengyan sighed and broke off a tiny bit for Folguochun: "This is the last bit, you can't eat too much." She then patted Folguochun's tummy, "Otherwise your stomach will hurt."
While chewing the bun skin, Foerguochun patted his belly and said, "Na."
"It hurts, it hurts." Hongli taught her, and the little girl blinked her eyes, but when she opened her mouth, she still said "na".
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Hongli taught her several times, but Foerguochun still couldn't learn it. The little girl was so angry that she refused to eat. She stood aside with her hands on her hips, trying to learn, and didn't forget to complain: "Mother! My little sister is so stupid!"
“You were like that when you were little too. You called out ‘ah ah’ for a long time before you learned to call ‘father,’ but you couldn’t teach ‘mother.’” Qian Shengyan clicked her tongue, put down her bowl, and reminisced about the little Hongli. “Back then, you were about the same age as your sister, and you couldn’t even stand up straight.”
She spoke lightly, which brought up some interesting stories, and she and Yinzhen exchanged a smile. But Hongli, who was standing to the side, was struck dumb!
He couldn't believe it! He could be so stupid! He couldn't even speak properly! He couldn't even call out to his mother!
Oh, now my little sister can't call me "Mother" or even "Father," and when she calls me "Brother," she just says "ga ga!"
So, I've actually been like that before?!
Hongli couldn't accept it. He felt it must be because he hadn't read enough books and his knowledge wasn't sufficient for publicizing, which was why such a bizarre thing had happened. He didn't even want to eat anymore. He got off the table, bowed to his parents, and went to study.
