The two exchanged a glance and stopped gossiping. Both of them were wives of imperial relatives, and their husbands were of average ability and held low positions. They also spoke discreetly, so no one noticed.
After the banquet ended, He Zhuo returned to the courtyard and took a good bath. When he came out, all the children were there.
"It's so late, why aren't you all asleep yet?" He Zhuo patted each of their little heads.
“Mother,” Hongyu said softly, looking at his mother with worried eyes. They already knew what the concubine meant, and this concubine was the Empress Dowager’s niece.
Looking at the worried eyes of the little ones, He Zhuo suddenly didn't want them to leave.
"How about sleeping with your mother tonight? It's been so long since your mother has slept with you all."
“Okay!” Little Treasure cheered first, and Hongyu also laughed. Hongfang was four years old. His older brother and sister told him about the concubine. They all had to call him Concubine Mother. They said that if she had a son in the future, it would threaten their status and even threaten Mother Mother.
So Hongfang, the little bun, really disliked this woman with the side forehead. Humph! But his older sister and brother couldn't let anyone see it, so they had to smile when the guests came. By the end of the day, his chubby face was stiff from smiling.
snort! ! !

But being able to sleep with my sweet and beautiful mother makes it all worthwhile.
Hongwei, the little dumpling, is Hezhuo's third son. He was born in the first month of last year and is only seventeen or eighteen months old. His little head is nodding off, which is very cute. The little guy is sleepy.
He Zhuo picked him up, put him on the bed, patted him, coaxed him, and hummed a little tune. Little Hongwei quickly fell asleep.
The rest of the children washed up on their own!
Soon, the little ones had all crawled into bed. The canopy bed was large enough to comfortably accommodate a few more. He Zhuo arranged them side by side, heads inward and feet outward. Two on the left, two on the right, and they drifted off to sleep.
He Zhuo couldn't fall asleep for a long time, looking at the sleeping faces of these children, their innocent eyes and brows.
Their sincere gazes and worried expressions deeply moved He Zhuo. As a cultivator, He Zhuo was usually detached from emotions, but he couldn't harden his heart in front of these children.
He Zhuo tested all the children, and none of them had spiritual roots. They could only be mortals and could not cultivate immortality. All He Zhuo could do was to ensure they would live a life of wealth and peace.
Khoja's children were not spoiled; they all ate and washed themselves by themselves, and would never let the servants carry them if they could walk on their own.
You should know that the princes in the palace rarely walked until they were three or four years old. The children in the palace were precious and were naturally spoiled. In addition, the children in the palace suffered many misfortunes, and many of them were physically weak.
To take a recent example, let's talk about the Crown Prince. He had a baby girl last year, but unexpectedly, she died during her postpartum period.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, also had a little princess last year, born to his concubine, Consort Song. Before he could even rejoice, the imperial physician said that she wouldn't survive, and sure enough, she passed away.
Strangely enough, in the Crown Prince's Yuqing Palace, the most favored was Little Princess Li, while in the Fourth Prince's harem, the most favored was Princess Li, given to him by Consort De.
Are all people with the surname Li exceptionally charming?
The Crown Prince currently has only two sons, both born to this Consort Li. The others either miscarried or died after birth.
The Fourth Prince was also a scumbag. Although he respected his wife, that was all he really respected.
Perhaps because of Empress Tong's affair, Consort De harbored resentment towards the Fourth Prince. As the imperial prince, the Fourth Prince naturally only paid his respects and returned home. The Fourth Prince's wife was no match for her; the methods in the palace were invisible, and she was thoroughly tormented in Consort De's palace. Ever since the death of her father, Fei Yanggu, in the winter of the 32nd year of Kangxi's reign, Consort De had become even more arrogant.
