"I didn't, don't talk nonsense. The fourth prince is a good child, and looks healthy. Come, draft an imperial decree. For your meritorious service in giving birth to a child, you will be promoted to Concubine Ding. The ceremony of conferring the title of Concubine will be held after the fourth prince's full moon."
"This servant thanks the Emperor for his grace on behalf of the Empress."
Sure enough, from now on she is the concubine's first maid. She dares to guarantee that her status will be higher than the first maid around Huipin and others.
Mu Sili was very calm about her promotion to concubine. After all, it was an indisputable fact, and it was impossible for Kangxi not to promote her.
When Empress Xiaozhuang learned that she had given birth to a prince, she was extremely happy. She said that she had a connection with the Cining Palace. Look, this connection was truly profound.
"Su Ma, come with me to Yonghe Palace to see my little great-grandson. I have been looking forward to him for so long, but he finally came."
"yes."
Su Malagu also wanted to see the newborn little prince. She had felt close to him before he was born. Now that he was born, she naturally wanted to go and see him.
In Yonghe Palace, the concubines had been sent back by Kangxi. Having so many people here would not only affect Mu Sili's rest, but also his son's rest.
He is a good father. How could he let his wife and children not get any rest after giving birth?
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived."
"Why is the Empress Dowager here? I was planning to go to the Cining Palace to announce the good news, but I didn't expect her to come in person. It shows that she values the child in Concubine Ding's belly as much as I do."
"Your Majesty is right."
"Xuanye, I came to see Xiao Si. I originally planned to wait until the full moon to see him, but for some reason I missed him so much that I came here."
No matter what, Kangxi was the emperor, and although she was his royal mother, she still had to explain to him the reason for her visit.
"What are you talking about, Ma'am? This is the palace, it's your home. You can come over whenever you want. Is there anyone trying to stop you? Look, this is Xiao Si."
Empress Xiaozhuang looked lovingly at the swaddling clothes in Kangxi's hands. She was looking forward to having this child. Not to mention that he had stayed in the Cining Palace for some time, she felt that this child had a connection with the Cining Palace from the moment Mu Sili stepped into it.
Now that he was born, and a prince just as she expected, she naturally paid more attention to him, and she had a hunch that he could bring her surprises.
However, the moment she looked at the child, tears welled up in her eyes. He looked just like her illegitimate son who died young. Although she felt that he was not very good, she missed him.
"What happened to Royal Mam? Are you okay? Why are you crying just looking at the child? You're so excited?"
Kangxi didn't know why Xiaozhuang was sad. He looked at her with some worry. You know, she was his closest grandmother. If something happened to her, he would not be able to accept it.
"It's okay. I'm just happy. This child has a connection with me and the Cining Palace. I'm thinking, why don't I name him?"
Kangxi didn't understand why Xiaozhuang said that. He looked at Xiaosi's appearance again and decided that it was more important to make his grandmother happy. Anyway, he had looked at him carefully and there was nothing wrong with him. He was as handsome as him and would surely charm thousands of girls in the future.
Now that the Queen Mother had rarely mentioned wanting to name the child, he certainly wouldn't refuse her kindness.
"I'll listen to Madam Empress. You can choose Xiao Si's name. If Concubine Ding knew that you were the one who named Xiao Si, she would probably brag to me again about how much you dote on her."
"This child, I should love her. Her existence not only brings me joy, but also makes my Cining Palace lively again. She also helps me give birth to my offspring. Under such circumstances, how can I not like her?"
Xiaozhuang rolled her eyes at Kangxi. Did she think she didn't know what he was thinking? She had raised him, and while she couldn't predict his thoughts with absolute certainty, she could at least guess at least 80 percent.
"I think Yinlu is a good name, so why not use that name? Concubine Ding is a blessed one, and I hope she can give birth to a princess next time, so that we will have both a son and a daughter.
You don’t know that Concubine Ding had talked about this with me before. She loves children, and she would still like them even if this baby was a princess.
I have to go back and prepare some gifts for the child. I didn't prepare enough before. I really like Xiao Si. If I wasn't worried that Concubine Ding would be reluctant to let him go, I really want to take him back to Cining Palace and raise him myself."
Xiaozhuang reluctantly placed Xiao Si in Kangxi's hands, then called Su Malagu, who had regained her consciousness, and left.
Kangxi looked at their backs with a confused expression. He probably didn't say anything just now, and he also fulfilled Huang Mamu's feelings for Xiao Si. Why did she leave after giving him a name?
Although he really wanted her to take care of Xiao Si, he couldn't bear to make Mu Sili sad. After all, this was her first child, and he had never thought of giving the child to someone else to raise, otherwise he would not have promoted her.
"Bring Xiao Si inside. She's been out for a while, so don't let her catch a cold. Tell Concubine Ding to take good care of herself during the confinement period. Once she's out of confinement, I'll personally preside over the ceremony to confer her the title of Concubine."
"yes."
Siyue carefully took Yinlu and carried him back to the delivery room, then told Mu Sili what happened outside.
Mu Sili knew that Empress Xiaozhuang had named the fourth child, but she was a little surprised that she would name him herself. After all, the names of the princes had always been given by Kangxi.
She looked at the child's face for a long time and realized that he probably looked like an old friend of Empress Xiaozhuang, otherwise she would not have such a reaction. She didn't know who the child looked like, but it didn't matter who he looked like. Now he was her son, and only her son.
"I guess the Imperial Concubine hasn't seen Xiao Si much today. Wait a few days until the Imperial Concubine feels better, and then you can ask the Imperial Concubine to come and see Xiao Si."
"Yes, I understand."
Concubine Tong really loved Xiao Si. She felt that she had a connection with this number, so after returning to the palace, she prepared a lot of gifts. She originally wanted to give them to Xiao Si when he was one month old, but she didn't expect to receive an invitation from Mu Sili.
"I thought you would be well behaved during the confinement period, but I didn't expect you to be unable to bear it after just a few days."
"I thought you were looking forward to Xiao Si's birth, and you took such good care of me during my pregnancy, so I wanted to invite you to come and see Xiao Si. I didn't expect you to be reluctant. In that case, I will let Si Yue take Xiao Si away."
"No, what nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I am Xiao Si's concubine. He has to call me his noble mother. How can I allow you to slander me?
You know what, I always feel that Xiao Si looks familiar. He is similar to the Emperor, but he looks especially like... the Empress Dowager!
