He felt the little life in the palm of his hand and his heart was touched.
Little Yinzhen knew clearly in his heart that this child was Xiaoliu. As for what he looked like, Yinzhen could not remember clearly, but the most impressive thing was that Xiaoliu was born weak and only lived to the age of six. He did not even have time to go to the study, so he really had no interaction with his younger brother.
"Yeah." Little Yinzhen still responded out of courtesy. Although his biological mother came to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects in order to maintain her humble image to the outside world, she still remembered her son who was raised here. In his memory, his mother rarely cared for him so attentively and tenderly.
After all, Yinzhen still longed for his mother's love in his heart.
"It's really hard for mother to be pregnant with my brother, so it's better not to move around casually. Your mother won't be angry with you, and the emperor won't be dissatisfied with you either." Why should I be so cautious and make myself suffer in vain.
Rouwan was stunned for a moment, then she smiled happily, touching her eldest son's head and asked him happily: "Is Xiao Si concerned about mother? Mother is not tired, it is the imperial concubine who has worked hard to raise you, mother should come to pay her respects, these are not important, the most important thing is that mother can meet Xiao Si."
At this time, my mother was only 21 years old, and her temperament was not as forbearing as in her previous life. Her words must be her true thoughts, which made little Yinzhen feel a little guilty after hearing them. It turned out that my mother came to see me...
Rouwan was extremely happy and couldn't help but tell her son about her longing for him: "Mother misses Xiao Si every day. Mother is wondering what Xiao Si ate today? What did he do? Did he... miss mother?"
Rouwan lowered her voice when she said the last sentence, and looked at the little Yinzhen in front of her carefully and expectantly.
Aunt Qing on the side quickly looked around. Fortunately, the palace servants from Chengqian Palace were relatively far away, so she thought that what the queen said might not have been heard by anyone.
Little Yinzhen opened his mouth, but felt as if his throat was choked and he could not say anything. Seeing the expectation in his mother's eyes gradually extinguished, little Yinzhen pursed his lips, gently lay on his mother's belly, and expressed his thoughts with actions.
The fire in Rouwan's eyes was ignited again, and tears were faintly visible in her affectionate eyes. She knew that Xiao Si was her biological son. Even though he couldn't speak much yet, he was still close to her, his biological mother, in his heart. That was enough.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should go back to the palace and take the pregnancy-preserving medicine." Aunt Qing was worried that if her majesty stayed too long, it would cause dissatisfaction among the imperial concubines, so she could only harden her heart and remind the mother and son who were having a rare opportunity to be intimate.
Rouwan slowly turned her head to avoid her son's gaze, wiped away the tears that had just fallen, and then smiled and said to him, "Mother is going back. I will come to see you on the 15th. Xiao Si must be a good boy and listen to the Imperial Concubine. Do you understand?"
Little Yinzhen nodded.
Rouwan then said to the palace maid of Chengqian Palace: "I will be leaving now. Please inform the Imperial Concubine."
"Please rest assured, Concubine De, I will definitely pass on the message to Concubine Gui." The palace maid bowed slightly and replied with this sentence.
Aunt Qing then stepped forward to support her. When Rouwan reached the door, she couldn't help but look back and found that little Yinzhen was looking at her seriously. He must have been staring at her back since she stood up.
Pregnant women are naturally sensitive. She held back her tears and turned away to walk out. When she was sitting in the sedan chair, she could only close her eyes and support her forehead with her hands to pretend to be asleep, so that others would not notice the strangeness in her eyes.
After returning to Yonghe Palace, Aunt Qing untied her cloak, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have asked that last question just now, or even asked about the Fourth Prince's food and drink expenses. If the Imperial Concubine knew about it, she might think too much and think that you were worried that the Fourth Prince would be treated harshly in Chengqian Palace."
"But he is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. He is my own flesh and blood. How can I suppress my concern for him?"
Only those who have given birth to children can understand a mother's psychology. It is very difficult for a mother to remain absolutely rational when facing everything related to her child. She knows that she shouldn't ask too many questions, and even for Xiaosi's future, she shouldn't even visit him or get close to him.
Three days later, it suddenly started raining in the middle of the night, accompanied by bursts of spring thunder. Rouwan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. After a while, her stomach hurt more and more.
"Someone come!" Rouwan called for help while enduring the pain.
Aunt Qing, who happened to be keeping watch nearby, immediately opened the bed curtain and asked anxiously, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"Go call the doctor quickly, I'm afraid... I'm about to give birth."
"Quick! Someone come!"
The Yonghe Palace started to fire in the middle of the night, waking up everyone in the palace. After hearing the news, Kangxi, who was originally staying in Yikun Palace where Concubine Yi was staying, got up and rushed to Yonghe Palace.
Chengqian Palace is close, so the imperial concubine was the first to arrive.
When Kangxi arrived, he immediately asked, "What's the situation?"
"Your Majesty, the midwife just replied that it might take another hour or two. Your Majesty has to attend the early court tomorrow. It would be better for you to go to my place and rest first, and then come to see Concubine De and the child tomorrow morning." Tong Jia saw that the emperor's eyes were dark circles. He had only gone to the fields to plough the fields a few days ago on the second day of the second month when the dragon raised its head. The emperor was busy and did not sleep well, and he had lost weight.
Huipin's Yanx Palace and Rongpin's Zhongcui Palace were both near Yonghe Palace. As soon as they heard the noise, they both rushed over.
"Okay, then let Huipin and Rongpin stay here. They have both given birth many times and are experienced, so I will feel more at ease."
"Your servants obey your orders!" Huipin and Rongpin squatted down and saluted together.
Kangxi selected two of the most experienced concubines in the palace to stay, and then went to rest at the imperial concubine's place, which was closest to the Yonghe Palace.
Yipin, who came with Kangxi, gritted her teeth and muttered to herself: Why not give birth at any other time? She had to give birth in the middle of the night, and the imperial concubine asked the emperor to leave her Yikun Palace!
"The place here is not big, and it is not suitable to keep too many people. Since my two sisters are guarding here, I will go back to the palace first." After saying this, she did not wait for others to speak, took the hand of a palace servant, twisted her slender waist and left.
"Everyone should go back and have a rest. It won't be too late to come and congratulate Depin tomorrow." Huipin was the first to speak to everyone.
The open and secret struggles outside had nothing to do with Rouwan who was giving birth. She was walking in front of the gates of hell with sweat all over her forehead, and she might be pulled in if she was not careful.
It was not until dawn when the first rays of the rising sun shone into the delivery room that the sound of a baby crying was heard.
"Congratulations, Madam Depin, you gave birth to the Sixth Prince."
Rouwan smiled weakly, and fell into a deep sleep without even having time to look at the child.
At this time, Yin Zuo's head was buzzing. Depin? Sixth Prince? This sounded so familiar.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Coincidentally, Kangxi arrived just as the child was born and just happened to hear the baby's first cry.
The imperial concubine has been waiting here since early morning, and Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong are also here.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty."
"Everyone, get up. I just heard the baby crying. Is it born?"
The imperial concubine smiled and continued, "The emperor happened to arrive just as the child was born, which shows that the father and son are in tune with each other."
Just at this moment, the midwife came out of the delivery room holding a small baby.
"Congratulations, His Majesty, and Concubine Depin on the birth of a healthy baby boy. Both mother and child are safe." The midwife held the baby boy and spoke auspicious words in front of Kangxi.
When Kangxi opened the swaddling clothes, he saw that the child was born white and clean, unlike other babies who were wrinkled and black when they were born.
"My little six is not like his brother. His fair skin is inherited from Concubine De. Very good. Give him a reward!"
Kangxi was very happy. This son was his lucky star. When Depin was pregnant with him, the Three Feudatories Rebellion was gradually suppressed. When he was born, the Three Feudatories Rebellion was about to be completely quelled. The battle report just came back from the court this morning. Now it was a double blessing. Very good! Very good!
Newly born Yin Zuo's eyes were not fully open yet. He only heard a majestic and deep voice speaking in his ear. There was only one identity that could call himself "I" - the emperor. His biological father was the emperor. Yin Zuo had never seen a living emperor, so he waved his little hands hard. Even if he couldn't see, it would be good to touch him.
"Your Majesty, look, the Sixth Prince seems to want you to hug him in person?" Huipin took the opportunity to speak.
Kangxi glanced over and noticed her.
"Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Hui. You must be tired after guarding the whole night. Go back and have a rest." He completely forgot about Concubine Rong who was guarding the Yonghe Palace with him.
"Yes." Huipin was visibly happy.
The imperial concubine smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Rongpin has also been guarding all night, and is equally tired. Go back and have a good rest."
Rongpin curled her lips, looked at the emperor with a bit of disappointment, and then said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"Your servant pays respects to the emperor." Just then someone came from the Cining Palace.
"Su Malagu is here, please don't be so polite." The emperor was very respectful to this nanny who had accompanied the Empress Dowager for half her life.
Su Malagu smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager learned early in the morning that Concubine De had launched a movement, and she quickly ordered me to come and take a look."
Kangxi pointed to the swaddling clothes in front of him and told the midwife: "Hurry up and bring the Sixth Prince to Su Malagu."
Su Malagu had lived for most of her life and had seldom seen such a fair and clean child at birth. She felt pity for the little prince and stretched out her hand to touch the little prince's face, but unexpectedly, the little prince held her hand tightly.
"Sixth Prince is quite strong and holds it very tightly." Su Malagu said with a smile.
"Why don't you let Su Malagu hold him for me?" Su Malagu was Kangxi's first teacher, which meant she was half the child's elder.
"Then I will dare to hold the Sixth Prince in my arms." Su Malagu hugged the child and then said goodbye.
"I still have to go back to the Cining Palace to report to the Grand Empress Dowager. I will take my leave now."
"I will go to the Cining Palace later to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
Yin Zuo was a little hungry, but his little body couldn't stand the hunger, so he started crying instinctively.
"What happened? You were fine just now, why are you crying all of a sudden?"
"I'm afraid he's hungry. Where's the wet nurse? Hurry and bring the Sixth Prince down to feed him." As the imperial concubine gave an order, the wet nurse immediately came forward and Yin Zuo was taken away.
While eating the delicious rations, Yin Zuo's brain began to work. The several titles that had just appeared were too similar to the characters in a Qing palace drama he had watched. Based on what others said, he almost immediately locked on his identity in this life, the sixth son of Kangxi.
But this identity never appeared during the battle for the throne in Kowloon, which means that he had no chance to grow up.
Someone just called his biological mother Depin, so his biological mother is most likely the later Defei, and Yongzheng is his biological brother! Then he is the younger brother of the future emperor! Doesn't that mean he is the most powerful one except his brother~
Before Yin Zuo could be happy, he suddenly thought that it seemed that the relationship between Yongzheng and Concubine De on TV was not good! The unlucky younger brother who ranked behind him seemed to be fighting for the throne with his brother! What kind of hell mode is this...
But Yin Zuo was too young now. As he was thinking, he fell asleep unknowingly. Before going to bed, he set three small goals for himself in a daze.
The first and most important point is that you must hold your brother’s thighs tightly.
The second point is that you have to live well and grow up safely, otherwise you will be gone before your brother takes the throne, so how can you talk about other things?
The third point is to try to repair the relationship between the biological brother, the biological mother, and the unfortunate unborn brother...
As for the rest, who cares? I’m still a baby drinking milk, and the most important thing is to eat well and sleep well… huh~ huh~
