Soon it was the 37th year of Kangxi's reign, and Kangxi promoted all the princes.
Yinzhi was made Prince Zhi, the third prince Yinzhi was made Prince Cheng, and the fourth to eighth princes were made Beile.
In reality, the Third Prince only benefited from being older. In terms of prestige, he was far inferior to Prince Zhi (Yin Zhi), and even to Prince Beile (Yin Zhen).
Having been granted the title of Prince, he began to act even more arrogantly in front of his younger brothers. His smugness displeased them greatly.
All the princes had been through the trials of war; they were all the same. The eldest brother's title of Prince of the County was a genuine honor, so what was he compared to him?
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was also a little depressed, but he quickly cheered up. The mansion was completed and he was about to move out. His father, the Emperor, had given him another job, assigning him to the Plain Red Banner. He suddenly became a banner lord. Although he was a Beile (prince), he was still the banner lord of the Plain Red Banner, which was much more prestigious than the title of Prince of the Third Prince.
"Yes, Father Emperor still values me," Yinzhen thought.
When Yinzhen was assigned a banner lord, Yinzhi felt a pang of jealousy. He was 26 years old and had been granted the title of Prince of the Second Rank, all earned through the battles. Yinzhen, on the other hand, only got the title of banner lord because he had always fawned over the Crown Prince and was the Empress's adopted son.
However, it's not entirely Yinzhi's fault. Kangxi's approach was indeed not fair, so it's no wonder that his sons would fight like cats and dogs in the future.
That day, Yinzhi was carried back drunk. Unlike the time in the palace, Hezhuo did not personally serve him a bath, but directly let the eunuchs go in to help him wash up.
She was pregnant and shouldn't bend over too much. Liu Bajin was puzzled, wondering why the Fujin was acting this way today, since she usually did everything herself.
However, he soon found out. The next day, while Yinzhi was still in a daze, Hezhuo told him some good news: she was pregnant.
He thought he was dreaming. His wife had given birth to his third child in the first month of the 33rd year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and then she hadn't been able to conceive again.
Seeing that he had fallen asleep again in a daze, He Zhuo ignored him and directly ordered his servants to call the royal physician. The physician said that the princess was more than a month pregnant.
The servants in the main courtyard were all very happy, after all, no one dislikes having too many sons, and the Fujin was in good health, so the little prince she gave birth to would definitely be healthy.
Right there, in no time, the servants in the main courtyard were treating the First Princess Consort like royalty, forbidding her from touching this or doing that. The nannies and maids were all beaming, treating He Zhuo like a porcelain doll.
Little Zhenbao came to greet us in the morning, which was quite strange. Everyone was beaming with joy. It was only after the nanny told her that she had become a big sister again.
Little Treasure didn't realize for a moment that one of her father's concubines was pregnant, already seven or eight months along, and she was supposed to become a big sister.
Seeing the eldest princess's stunned expression, Su Mei said directly, "Congratulations, eldest princess! The princess is pregnant. The royal physician came to check on her. It's been a little over a month, and the eldest princess is going to be a big sister again. What a blessing!"
Little Treasure was very happy. Seeing how cautious the maids were, she quickly hugged her third brother who was about to rush up to her and said, "Mother, you're pregnant, so be careful."
He Zhuo was annoyed by the longing look in his youngest son's eyes and by his sister's cautious manner.
She said directly, "It's not like it's your first pregnancy. The doctor just said everything's fine. There's no need to be so careful. Come here, Hongwei, come to your mother."
Holding her youngest son's hand, she looked at the flowers in the main courtyard.
Granny Shi and the others were still worried, so they had no choice but to invite the two physicians from the household to come over. They both said that the First Princess Consort was in good health.
