Sitting next to Yinzhen, Lady Ulanara urged repeatedly, "Quickly, let the Prince see the Fourth Prince."
Qian Shengyan stepped forward as instructed, and Yinzhen's gaze shifted from her to the child, his serious expression softening considerably.
He reached out and picked up the child. Seeing that the child was not only unafraid but also waved his little fist at him, he chuckled and said, "He's quite strong."
“Yes, I felt a sense of familiarity when I first saw this child yesterday. Now that I see him, his features are very similar to yours,” Ulanara said with a smile.
"Not bad." Yinzhen nodded, glancing at Qian Shengyan seemingly casually, and asked, "Have you chosen a name yet?"
"Qian, the Prince is asking you a question. Have you named our Fourth Prince yet?" Ulanara urged.
Qian Shengyan rolled her eyes speechlessly. It wasn't like she hadn't heard; did Ulanara really need to ask again?!
She looked up at Yinzhen and replied, "I've given her a nickname, Yuanyuan."
Ulanara frowned slightly, but Yinzhen nodded slightly, seemingly unconcerned. After a moment, he said, "Even a nickname would be too perfunctory. This child is destined for greatness, and I also hope that he can grow up to be an adult. Let's call him Yuanshou."
“Good, Yuanshou is a good name.” Ulanara quickly praised, and then gestured for Qian Shengyan to express her gratitude.
Qian Shengyan was completely stunned.
Yuan Shou?
Yuan Shou!
Isn't that Emperor Qianlong's childhood nickname?
By the way, were they talking about the Fourth Prince?
Wait, wait a minute, what year and month is it now—no, that doesn't matter anymore, the prince born in the Summer Palace, the Fourth Prince, Yuan Shou!
Her son was Hongli, the future Qianlong Emperor!
Qian Shengyan was so shocked that she didn't even realize what Ulanara had said next.
She was still dazed when she carried Yuan Shou back and received a lot of rewards. Following Qingxue's instructions, she thanked Yinzhen and the other person. She was still in a daze when she was led into a small room and sat on the bed.
Looking at the little baby in front of her who could only smack his lips, she could hardly imagine that this would become the future Emperor Qianlong.
This is... way too fantastical!
She was thinking of fighting for something for this little brat, but it turned out she didn't need to!
The kid is very reliable!
Oh my, this is Emperor Qianlong!
Qian Shengyan held the baby up to her eyes again and again, and suddenly remembered something extremely important—if her son was the future emperor, wouldn't she be, wouldn't she be the future empress dowager!
Wow, Qian Shengyan, you're amazing!
It's worth noting that the Empress Dowager during the Qianlong era lived to the age of eighty-four, a rare longevity for an empress dowager in history, while the Yongzheng Emperor died exceptionally young...
Does this mean that she has countless wonderful moments ahead of her in her life?
Qian Shengyan happily showered her son with kisses on the face several times.
"My good child, my future happiness depends on you!" She picked up the child and stood up, her voice full of laughter. "The laws of time travel are truly true! Even in a palace intrigue novel, I'll be the one who emerges victorious! Do you know what that's called? That's called the heroine's halo!"
Before she could finish celebrating, a palace maid came in to help her wash her hands and eat.
Yesterday she had to go up the mountain to catch wild pheasants to cook for herself, but today she has fallen into a life of luxury. Moreover, the child she raised will have a bright future. Qian Shengyan feels that the grievances she suffered before are nothing.
She didn't care about being a Fujin or a Geng Gege anymore, and she even felt she could put aside the idea of using her beauty to seduce Yinzhen.
Why waste all that effort and worry about those things? Her good days are yet to come!
The summer resort was cool and comfortable, the food was quite delicious, the palace servants were gentle and considerate, and the wet nurses who took care of the baby were also very attentive. Qian Shengyan felt that she could lie back and wait until the day she truly became a widow!
Unfortunately, reality soon proved her wrong.
After paying her respects to the Fujin that morning, Qian Shengyan washed her hands and changed her clothes as usual before hugging Yuanshou.
But Yuan Shou slept longer than usual today, and she chuckled as she went over to kiss his cheek: "Lazy baby, wake up."
But as soon as her lips touched Yuan Shou, Qian Shengyan realized something was wrong. She quickly called out to the child twice and touched his forehead, feeling it was burning hot. She was immediately alarmed.
"A fever? Oh no! Someone, someone! The Fourth Prince is sick! Go find a doctor quickly!"
After a period of chaos and turmoil, Empress Ulanara brought two imperial physicians to see Yuan Shou, who diagnosed him with a cold.
But where did this cold wind come from in the middle of summer?!
Moreover, Qian Shengyan has been completely laid-back lately and hasn't taken the child out at all. How could she possibly have caught a cold?!
"...decoct these medicines into a bowl of water and have the wet nurse drink it to see if it works."
The imperial physicians dared not prescribe medicine for such a young child, and could only let the wet nurse try it.
After prescribing the medicine, the imperial physician added, "It's not good for the sick to be exposed to drafts. Keep him warm and let the Fourth Prince's fever drop—hey, why is that window still open? Close it quickly!"
window?
Qian Shengyan looked over and saw that a window was wide open, directly facing the bed.
The palace maid, Green Willow, who served her, exclaimed in surprise, "That's impossible! I checked before going to bed last night and all the windows were closed. The prince hadn't gotten up yet this morning, so no one could have opened the windows..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qian Shengyan suddenly stood up, walked quickly to the window and looked around carefully, but only found some water stains in front of the window and nothing else wrong, so she could only come back and sit next to Yuanshou to stare at the child.
Ulanara sat on a stool by the bed, her face full of tenderness and reproach, "Yuanshou is so young, yet he's so sick. It breaks my heart to see him like this..."
