Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the sixth month of the forty-second year of Kangxi's reign. The selection of imperial concubines came to an end, and apart from those who were chosen to enter the palace, the concubines returned home one by one.
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi pondered for a while, then picked up his imperial brush and quickly wrote an imperial edict.
After he wrote the last word, Li Dequan opened his mouth to remind him, "Master, tomorrow is the full moon celebration for the Fourth Prince of the Fourth Prince's mansion."
Upon hearing Li Dequan's words, Emperor Kangxi suddenly recalled the incident a month earlier when all his sons had gathered at Yinzhen's residence and teased the Fourth Prince.
.
He pondered for a while, then wrote another imperial edict bestowing a name, and instructed Li Dequan to go to the Fourth Prince tomorrow to announce the edict, and also to take a look at the Fourth Prince who resembled Yinzhen!
As for the imperial edict that had been written earlier, Emperor Kangxi frowned, then directly ordered, "Issue the edict the day after tomorrow!" After saying that, he stood up, walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but sigh, "I hope they won't let my efforts go to waste!"
On the sixth day of the sixth month of the forty-second year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the baby boy's one-month celebration was held, signifying that Jiaming had completed her postpartum confinement.
Jiaming's postpartum confinement was much easier than other women's. With her special abilities, her recovery was incredibly rapid, but to avoid standing out, she had to pretend she wasn't fully recovered.
As for not being able to take a bath, Jiaming didn't think it was a problem at all. In her previous life, during the apocalypse, there wasn't much clean water to waste. Taking a bath once every ten days or half a month was a luxury. She usually took a bath once every one or two months, and she even tried taking a bath only once every six months.
Besides, staying in the delivery room all the time doesn't make you dirty. It's just that you haven't showered for a month, which is normal!
Moreover, unlike other women who go through all sorts of trouble to regain their perfect figure after postpartum confinement, Jiaming eats as much delicious food as she wants without hesitation. Firstly, she has to breastfeed her son herself, and secondly, with her supernatural abilities, she is not worried about her figure changing.
Early that morning, after finishing her postpartum confinement, she first washed up, then ate breakfast, fed her baby, put on a pink qipao, wore flowerpot shoes, and personally carried her child to the main courtyard.
Jiaming arrived at a time that was neither too early nor too late, but just as she approached the main hall, she discovered that all the people with official titles in the backyard had already arrived.
Moreover, they were all dressed up in their finest attire, looking quite flamboyant.
At first, she wondered why these people were dressed up so elaborately, but when all the women in the backyard turned their sharp eyes to her and saw the resentment and unwillingness in their eyes, she quickly understood.
These people are trying to outdo me, to make me look worse!
Li and the others had this idea in mind, but Jiaming, with her baby face, looked very young and tender. Coupled with her pink cheongsam, she looked very girlish, exuding a youthful and pure aura.
This made them extremely frustrated and resentful. Their elaborate attire had not only failed to conceal Guarjia, but had instead made her stand out even more.
Especially Zhang, who already had a pure and innocent face and an ethereal, fairy-like aura, was dressed up in her finest clothes today, which completely concealed her best features. Otherwise, how could Guarjia stand out like her?
However, no matter how much they regretted it, they couldn't go back and change their clothes again.
Because a short while later, the Fourth Prince and his wife appeared together.
The moment Fourth Master arrived, the women felt even more regretful and frustrated after noticing that he had glanced at Jiaming a few times!
The envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Jiaming only intensified, especially for the Fourth Prince's wife and Lady Li, who watched Jiaming holding the chubby baby in her arms.
Afterwards, Jiaming made excuses such as breastfeeding to go back to Taoyuan.
Inside the Peach Blossom Garden's room, Red Peach said uneasily, "Master, this... this isn't quite right, is it?"
You're playing such a prank, won't I get angry?
!
“There’s nothing wrong with it!” Jiaming said nonchalantly, “If Master blames me, I, your master, will take the blame as well. Besides, the meaning is great. Even if Master blames me, I, your master, will have a reason to argue with him.”
As she spoke, her hands continued to move.
"Alright!" Jiaming stopped what she was doing, handed the little prince to Hongtao, and said smugly, "Look, isn't he handsome!"
"Mmm!" Heart Heart's eyes sparkled with hearts as she nodded repeatedly, saying, "It's absolutely beautiful!"
"As long as it looks good!" Jiaming argued smugly, "Today is the little prince's one-month celebration. He's the star of the show, so of course we have to dress him up to look his best!"
As she spoke, Jiaming looked at Hongtao and asked, "Aren't you right?"
At that moment, her eyes were only on the young prince's red peach, and she had no idea what Jiaming was saying. She nodded haphazardly.
Just as Jiaming was admiring her masterpiece, Su Peisheng's voice rang out from outside the door, "Your Highness, the full moon banquet has begun. The master has instructed me to take the little prince to the front courtyard."
"Okay!" Jiaming replied, then quickly picked up the well-dressed little prince, while Hongtao went ahead of Jiaming to open the door.
She deftly handed the child to Su Peisheng, and then, watching Su Peisheng's stiff figure as he carried the child away, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
In May of the 42nd year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Grand Minister Suo'etu instigated the Crown Prince and was declared "the greatest criminal in the land," imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court.
The Crown Prince was extremely displeased with this, but because his power had greatly diminished, he immediately took matters into his own hands and tried to win over the Fourth Prince, with whom he had a very good relationship.
The purpose of attending the full moon celebration this time was no longer to tease the little prince or to make fun of the Fourth Prince.
The eldest prince came to stop the crown prince from winning over the fourth prince. As for the others, they each had their own ideas. Only the thirteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth princes still held similar thoughts to those during the third-day celebration, wanting to see and touch "Little Fourth Brother"!
However, no matter how different their reasons were for attending the full moon celebration, when they saw the fourth prince in the swaddling clothes held by Su Peisheng, all their previous thoughts vanished.
Everyone had smiles in their eyes, even the Crown Prince, who had been very unhappy recently because of the Suo'etu incident, also showed a smile.
Moreover, the Crown Prince, the First Prince, the Tenth Prince, and others, who were not afraid of the Fourth Prince's cold face, actually laughed loudly in front of him. As for the other princes, they dared not laugh out loud because they were wary of the Fourth Prince's cold expression.
But the trembling bodies and twitching faces of each of them made Fourth Master realize the seriousness of the situation.
Sensing something was wrong, he looked at Su Peisheng with a grim expression, holding the little prince in his arms.
As if struck by lightning, Fourth Master froze completely!
Guarjia clan!
Then, Fourth Master's face darkened instantly, and his aura erupted uncontrollably. In his mental notebook, he immediately made a deep fuss about Jiaming.
Su Peisheng looked at the little prince in his arms, who bore an uncanny resemblance to his master, and felt the fierce aura emanating from his master glaring at him. He was both amused and exasperated, and quite distressed. (To be continued.)
