"I'm glad you think so. I'll go to your storehouse and pick out some suitable items to send over. I'm sure the Fourth Prince will be happy to see the things you sent."
Defei did not have such a feeling. If she remembered correctly, Yinzhen had not come to pay his respects to her for a long time. Except during festivals or when Kangxi summoned him, he had never come to pay his respects to her.
Somehow, she had a feeling that she was going to lose her son, but she didn't care. She had a beloved son. In her eyes, Mu Sili was her son, and the rest of the people were not important.
When Yinzhen saw the reward sent by Concubine De, he was shocked to realize that Concubine De had not come to see Mu Sili's childbirth. He understood that Kangxi did not come, but Concubine De was his biological mother, so he did not expect that she did not come either.
Does this mean that she doesn't take her son seriously at all? If so, then this reward is for nothing.
"Madam, please go back. Mother is so thoughtful. When Song wakes up, I will tell her that these are gifts from Mother. Tell her to keep them well and not make any mistakes."
"I will just visit the two princesses and then go back. Please don't be angry with Her Majesty. She has you in her heart. Think about it, which mother wouldn't love her own son? You can't believe the rumors and become estranged from Her Majesty."
"Really? If I remember correctly, mother really didn't like me as a son. Now that I'm a father, I can understand her.
Madam, please go back and take care of mother. I will go back and pay my respects to her when I am free. Now my mind will be on the children, so I won't bother her for a while.
You can let Fourteenth Brother visit her more often. After all, Fourteenth Brother is the youngest son that Mother loves the most. Mother will definitely be happy with him around.
"I'm not good at talking, and besides making my mother unhappy, I really don't have much to offer. It's better to go to Yonghe Palace less often, lest my mother be unhappy all day long."
Yinzhen's casual words frightened Mammy. Was he trying to distance himself from the Yonghe Palace? What would happen if word got out?
But his attitude said it all. He really thought so. In the future, he would strictly follow Kangxi's will and go to Yonghe Palace less often to suffer bullying.
"Brother, the Empress is your biological mother. How could she not care about you? You must not believe some unfounded rumors and become estranged from the Empress."
"Mammy, you'd better go back. If you go back too late, Mother will think that I'm holding you back. When the baby is one month old, I will personally invite you to attend the baby's full-month ceremony."
The nanny had no choice but to leave obediently. She couldn't understand why Concubine De was estranged from Yinzhen, but this was her master's business and she was just a maid, so it was better for her to stay out of it.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi was surprised after hearing what Liang Jiugong brought back. Are these two granddaughters really so similar?
"Is it really as you said?"
"Could I have lied to you? You don't know how proud the Fourth Prince was at that time. If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed the little red mole on the eldest princess's ear.
But it’s better this way. When the two princesses grow up, you can tell them apart by the little red mole, and you won’t make a mistake.”
Kangxi felt something was wrong instantly. It turned out that Liang Jiugong, that dog slave, said so much because he was afraid that he would not be able to distinguish between his older and younger granddaughters and be laughed at in the future!
He is such a good servant, thinking of him. Should he reward him or punish him? He needs to think about this carefully, otherwise it will seem like he is indiscriminate in rewarding and punishing.
"Before I came back, I took a look at the room that the Fourth Prince had prepared for the two princesses. You wouldn't know it, but the room was filled with treasures that almost dazzled me.
In the past, I thought that the Fourth Prince liked princes just like everyone else, but I didn't expect that he liked the little princess so much. Not only did he have silks and satins, but the house was also filled with exquisite and beautiful little ornaments.
Not only that, I also saw the little skirts, each with a different pattern, which shows how good the Fourth Prince is to the two princesses."
Kangxi didn't expect that Yinzhen really liked his daughter. Since he liked her, he, as her father, should also express his appreciation.
"Go to my private storehouse and find a few more sets of headwear suitable for little girls and send them over. When they grow up, they can wear them. I will definitely be happy when I see them."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
Yinzhen gladly accepted Kangxi's reward. Not only that, he went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity every now and then to tell Kangxi how cute his daughter was, which made Kangxi extremely itchy.
This bastard came here to ask for so many benefits, but he didn't even bring the child over to him to see? If it wasn't unreasonable, he really wanted to rush to the prince's residence to take a look.
"Alright, stop talking about those nonsense. They will be one month old in a few days. I have already chosen their names. Let's call them Zhong Ling and Yu Xiu."
"Zhong Ling Yu Xiu? It's a good name, but is this the name that the Emperor has been thinking about for so many days? Honestly, I think it's better to use the one named by the son. Why not use the one named by the son?"
"Can your name be as good as mine? Get out of my way. It's decided. The sisters' names are Zhong Ling and Yu Xiu. Not only that, I will also confer them the title of Princess."
Yinzhen was overjoyed when he heard this. This was a great thing, and only an idiot would refuse it. But he was already a Beile now, so wouldn't it be a bit ostentatious to confer the title of Princess on him?
Not to mention his eldest brother, even the daughter of his second brother, the prince, was not given the title of princess. If his two daughters became princesses, they would probably be hated by others.
"Father, why don't you just forget about the title of princess and wait until they are older. I am afraid that my brothers will misunderstand and think that you are biased towards them.
Haven't you always hoped that your sons would be brothers and respectful to each other, and that they would one day work together to build the Qing Dynasty into a great power? I don't want to be estranged from my brothers, nor do I want to be an exception."
Kangxi looked at him and nodded with satisfaction. He was worthy of being the son raised by him and Empress Xiaoyi. He knew the limits and how to advance and retreat. But this was his grace, and he could not refuse.
"You must do whatever I say. This is my personal order. How can they resist? If you have the guts, come and speak to me!"
But it's a good thing you have this idea. I really can't favor one over the other. In this case, I will take them both with me. After all, according to the rules, the eldest brother and the crown prince's daughter can also be princesses."
"That's great. Thank you, Father Royal, for your grace. Father Royal, I'm going to Chengqian Palace. This is good news. The Empress Dowager will be happy to know. I want her to know this good news first."
"Go ahead. I've been having a hard time with you these past few years. Fortunately, you've been self-reliant and haven't learned bad things. Otherwise, I don't know how I'll explain this to my cousin one day."
