"These two children are truly so different, one lively and one quiet, yet both have equally beautiful features," Consort De exclaimed.
Heyue carried Hongchang to a chair, and the Fourteenth Princess Consort curiously leaned over to take a look, smiling with pursed lips: "He is indeed handsome, Thirteenth Sister-in-law is really lucky."
"Whether I'll be fortunate or not remains to be seen; it's too early to say now." He pretended not to hear the sourness in her words and smiled faintly.
Prince Yong also leaned over to look at little Tongxuan in Consort De's arms, reached out and held Tongxuan's little hand, causing Tongxuan to tightly grasp one of his fingers, and suddenly grinned.
Consort De and the maids and servants beside her exclaimed in amazement: "We never expected that this child would be so destined for the Fourth Prince. She smiled as soon as she saw him."
After his initial surprise, Prince Yong smiled slightly, and his eyes softened.
He Yue caught a glimpse of this and was quite surprised, never expecting that Prince Yong also liked children.
This was the first time Prince Yong had seen the two children, and Yue noticed that he was more interested in Tongxuan than in Hongchang.
Heyue gasped in pain as Hongchang accidentally yanked her earring, then glared at him fiercely, her anger rising.
However, upon seeing the other person's bright, clear eyes, exactly like Thirteen's, the fire in his heart instantly subsided, and his heart softened to the point of overflowing tenderness.
She pinched his cheek and saw him waving his little hands around her head, laughing happily, and she sighed inwardly.

As she aged, her energy was inevitably limited, and before long, Consort De showed signs of fatigue.
Heyue handed Hongchang over to Hailan and successfully took her sweet and soft little daughter in her arms.
Before leaving Yonghe Palace, Consort De instructed her: "Go and pay your respects to the Empress Dowager. She will surely be happy to see the child."
Generally, the wives of the emperor did not often go to Shou Kang Palace to pay their respects, simply because the Empress Dowager disliked being disturbed.
Heyue didn't intend to use the child to please the Empress Dowager. After all, the Empress Dowager had many great-grandchildren, so there was no reason for her to treat her child differently.
Since Consort De has said this, it must be the Empress Dowager's words.
Heyue agreed and left Yonghe Palace.
The Fourth Prince's wife came over and said, "Let me go with you to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager."
He nodded in agreement.
