On this day, Yin told Kangxi the name that he and his wife had chosen for their daughter.
"You brat, you've already decided on the name. Are you saying that what I chose is bad?" Kangxi looked at Yin with annoyance. Consort Tong thought that the name Yin chose, Hutulifengshengzhalafen, was quite good, meaning fortune, prosperity, and longevity in Chinese.
It was not easy for a noblewoman from the Manchu Eight Banners to be born, and Emperor Kangxi was worried that the child would not be able to be controlled by this name.
"Fourth Prince, the child hasn't been born yet. Will this name be able to suppress the child's negative influence?" Emperor Kangxi was very worried that the child wouldn't be able to be properly controlled.
Of the princes who were to be married, only Xiao Guai was pregnant, except for Songkelierha. There was still no news about the other three.
Lady Guarjia is disappointing; years of teaching have yielded no results, and even the concubines have surpassed her in ability. No matter how bad Yinzhen is, he was personally trained by Emperor Kangxi, and he absolutely refuses to admit his failure.
"Father, Xiaoguai likes this name too!" Yin said directly that he and his wife liked it very much. The name of the boy was personally chosen by the Emperor, and he no longer cared about it.
Kangxi sighed helplessly. Did Fei Yanggu agree?
"Feiyanggu also agreed?" Kangxi thought the young couple were not wise enough, and if they failed to raise the child, they would be the ones who would suffer in the end.
Yin was taken aback. Fei Yanggu hadn't mentioned it yet, and Qingyan felt that it was necessary to tell Kangxi first.
"I haven't told my father-in-law yet!" Yin said softly.
Emperor Kangxi sighed heavily. For Fei Yanggu, the safety of the banquet was of utmost importance.
"He didn't say!" Consort Tong exclaimed in surprise.
These two little ones are quite bold. Kangxi and Consort Tong agree, but Yin is getting old. It's different with Xiao Guai; she will always be Fei Yanggu's darling.
"Well, Xiao Guai said that we should get Father Emperor's approval first, and then talk to Father-in-law." Yin pursed his lips, looking like he had done something wrong.
Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong sighed heavily. If Fei Yanggu knew, things would definitely not end well.
"Li Dequan, summon Fei Yanggu and bring Xiao Guai safely to the palace!" Kangxi pointed at Yin and finally stepped in to clean up the mess.
Yin was stunned. The relationship between his father-in-law and his father-in-law was even more harmonious than before. In fact, Kangxi had always trusted Fei Yanggu. In his previous life, Fei Yanggu's health was getting worse and worse, and Kangxi had to be patient, hoping that Fei Yanggu could have a stable time to recuperate.
Now, thanks to Qingyan's careful guidance, Fei Yanggu is in his prime, and Kangxi values him even more.
"Go away, you brat. Next time you have this problem, you must ask your father-in-law for permission first." Kangxi would always give way to Fei Yanggu, that hothead, in small matters. Fortunately, he couldn't enter the palace at any time, otherwise he would have experienced the same treatment as Fuquan.
A moment later, Yin followed behind Kangxi and Consort Tong, his head bowed, looking as if he had done something wrong.
"Don't talk nonsense when you go in," Consort Tong instructed Yin. Fei Yanggu sat in the hall with a gloomy face, while Li Dequan accompanied him cautiously.
Yin smiled bitterly. By listening to his wife, he had only angered Fei Yanggu.
"Father-in-law!" Yin said softly.
Yin's respect did not make Fei Yanggu happy; instead, it made him even more upset. This child hadn't even mentioned such an important matter to him.
"Yes, Fourth Master, this servant asks you, why didn't you discuss this name with me?" Fei Yanggu looked at Yin, this concerned Xiao Guai, and he was determined to find out the truth.
“Father-in-law, Xiao Guai said to inform Father Emperor first, and then tell you!” Yin remembered Xiao Guai’s meaning, and he dared not make a decision on his own.
Fei Yanggu snorted coldly. Xiao Guai's words were understandable, but she was too proper, placing Kangxi first. Fei Yanggu was still quite satisfied.
"Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen, this name is not bad. Did Xiaoguai choose it herself?" Fei Yanggu always approves of his daughter's choices. Looking at Fei Yanggu's smiling face, which was completely different from before, Yin couldn't help but feel his father's heartache.
Fei Yanggu's protectiveness towards his daughter is exhausting for many. He sometimes disagrees with even Emperor Kangxi's imperial edicts, but he executes Xiao Guai's orders unconditionally. This has led many in the palace to say that Fei Yanggu also has weaknesses.
"Yes, Father-in-law, do you think it's alright?" Yin quickly asked.
Xiao Guai will be here soon. If she hears Fei Yanggu complaining about their actions, she will definitely be sad.
"Good, Xiao Guai is a good mother, she will definitely give the child the best!" Fei Yanggu's sudden change in attitude made Kangxi want to cover his face. Was this his fierce general?
As Fei Yanggu was praising her, Qing Yan walked in from outside, supporting Su Lan as they walked very slowly.
Fei Yanggu hadn't seen Xiao Guai for a month since the last gathering. Looking at her big belly, he was a little scared. Could something really happen to the baby?
"Father..." Qingyan bowed to Kangxi and the others, then called out "Father" in a sweet voice.
Li Dequan had someone inform Xiao Guai, and Fei Yanggu was furious.
Qingyan smiled and leaned closer, looking at him ingratiatingly.
"Why is Xiao Guai still out at such a late stage of pregnancy?" Fei Yanggu asked anxiously, as Xiao Guai's health was the most important thing.
"Father, I know you're here! I had to come out and see you. I haven't seen you for a month!" Qingyan, at Kangxi's gesturing prompt, transformed into a spoiled little girl and snuggled up to Fei Yanggu.
Fei Yanggu was very happy with what Qingyan said, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
Instantly, the other three people present were relieved, as Consort Tong was genuinely worried that Fei Yanggu would erupt.
"Your Majesty, this servant thinks the name Xiaoguai chose is quite good, even better than the name of Princess Tuojin." Fei Yanggu and Longxi had a very good relationship. Back then, when Longxi mentioned the princess's name, Fuquan and Fei Yanggu laughed for several days.
