It is impossible for a girl to be a girl.
All I can say is that the young prince was born with feminine features despite being a boy.
Among the children born in Changning, the best-looking ones were not Hutuli, but Fengsheng'e and Hongyan.
Hongyan resembles Changning more, combining the best traits of both his father and mother.
The seventh prince was much more handsome than Hongyan. If it weren't for the fact that he was a prince, one might mistake him for an extremely beautiful princess. Even at such a young age, one could tell that he was a beauty destined to be a national treasure.
Even Yinzhen had to admit that his seventh prince was indeed handsome. He somewhat resembled the ninth prince.
The ninth prince was effeminate in appearance and the most handsome. However, he had a bad temper, was greedy for money and vicious, which is why Yinzhen disliked this younger brother.
Seeing that his son was also so handsome, Yinzhen had mixed feelings, but after all, he was his own son.
Therefore, Yinzhen took a different approach and named his youngest son Hongyang.
Hongyang, meaning masculine, is a name that is hoped to bring about a directional change in the appearance of the youngest son.
Changning really likes this son; who doesn't like beautiful things?
She always sleeps with Hongyang now, and when she wakes up, she plays with this adorable little dumpling. She even had Yuxia make him a pink outfit, which was quite mischievous. If you didn't look closely, you might really think she had given birth to a third princess.
Even Hongchen made a fool of himself when he met Hongyang, blurting out a crisp "Little sister!"
This caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Hongzhao laughed especially loudly, and he kindly reminded his younger brother, "Hongchen, you're wrong, you're wrong! This is a younger brother! Brother Hongyang!"
Hongchen was very persistent. He still held onto Hongyang's swaddling clothes and said loudly and firmly, "Sister! Sister! It's my sister!"
Now that she's in postpartum confinement and has nothing to do, Changning keeps playing with Hongyang.
When Hongyang was born, his skin was very delicate and felt wonderful to the touch. Even though she often touched him inappropriately, she was still addicted to it, sometimes gently holding his little hands, sometimes touching his little face, and she especially loved the milky smell of Hongyang.
As it turned out, Hongyang was not as obedient as his other older brothers and sisters. He started crying loudly before he even opened his eyes, which startled Changning. She quickly patted him and comforted him, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry! Hongyang is the best boy. It's your mother's fault. Your mother won't touch you anymore."
Granny Zhang was also full of helplessness. How come her master is becoming more and more like a child as he gets older?
However, seeing the young master crying incessantly, the wet nurse stepped forward and knelt down, saying, "Pure Consort, the Seventh Prince must have wet himself."
"Oh, right, right, it is a little wet. You can carry it down."
Changning covered her face, thinking, "It really is true that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years."
However, raising children is not tiring at all. She only needs to play with them for a while, and the wet nurses, nannies and maids take care of their daily needs and meals.
It's actually quite easy.
However, there are more things to worry about as you grow up.
When Yinzhen came in, his face was still cold, and you could tell from his appearance that Hongzhao was definitely not studying properly again.
This child is smart, but he's prone to daydreaming and has a poor attention span.
Yinzhen wanted to continue farming with him, otherwise it would be quite lonely for him to hoe the ground by himself every morning.
However, there's no need to tell Yao Xian about this; she's having a hard time during her postpartum period.
Yinzhen softened his expression and asked gently, "How was it today? Did you like what you had?"
Changning nodded hurriedly: "It's fine. Hutu even made me a hat. I heard that women in their postpartum period shouldn't be exposed to the wind. She's very thoughtful."
Yinzhen's face was full of praise: "Hutu is so thoughtful."
"Yes, finally it's not socks anymore." Changning breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since Hutuli's socks received their love and praise, this girl has been making socks whenever she does needlework. She's become more and more addicted to it, making dozens of pairs at a time. Now Changning's boxes are full of socks, and she can't even wear them all herself.
Hutuli even made two pairs of shoes for Consort De, which caused this favored concubine, who had been in the harem for decades, to tear up in public and hug Hutuli in silence for a long time.
Yinzhen knew that his mother was thinking of his fifth sister, Wenxian.
Consort De transferred all her love for her daughter to Hutuli, bestowing gifts upon her every few days and frequently inviting her to play at Yonghe Palace. Even Emperor Kangxi developed a much better impression of Hutuli.
Changning had to admire her daughter; look how well she had latched onto this powerful figure, she didn't have to worry about anything.
After chatting with Yinzhen for a while, Changning prepared for her meal. She was currently eating specially prepared postpartum meals.
Although it's really nutritious and quite delicious, Changning prefers stronger flavors. She wants to eat sizzling, oily grilled skewers, fragrant and spicy grilled squid, garlic-flavored shrimp, and steaming hot pot with mutton.
However, she couldn't eat any of it.
This is torture for people who can't live without spicy food.
She could only comfort herself by telling herself to bear it, that things would get better soon.
Yinzhen also felt sorry that she wasn't eating well. Just a few days ago, several baskets of lychees were sent from Lingnan, which are a rare commodity in the capital.
He did an excellent job on the last mission, and although Emperor Kangxi only praised him verbally and did not actually promote him, he was rewarded with two large baskets of lychees this time.
Yinzhen first sent the basket to Consort De in Yonghe Palace and Empress Dowager in Shoukang Palace before he began to divide the remaining basket for himself.
Apart from those intended as gifts, the rest were all taken to the estate and given to Changning to eat.
It's been a long time since we've had lychees in Changning, so it's quite a novelty. But you can't just peel them with your hands and wolf them down here.
First, the maid must remove the pit, cut the flesh into several pieces, place them on a white porcelain plate, and then place them on ice to make the flesh look crystal clear. Only then can you enjoy it by eating it with a fork.
