Although the eldest prince still didn't understand everything perfectly, he knew his mother wouldn't lie to him, so he said, "Mother, I've remembered."
As an elder in the harem, Consort Hui understood all too well that having another child was already extremely difficult for her. It was one thing for Emperor Kangxi not to come, and another for him not to favor her when he did.
Another issue is that her body was damaged during the birth of the eldest prince, making it difficult for her to conceive again.
She had considered Kangxi's temperament. As long as he valued his children and the eldest prince grew up healthy and successful, she would always have a place in the harem.
With the eldest prince around, she could gain status through her son, and that was the source of her confidence.
After the eldest prince left, Consort Hui's face darkened, and she said to the nanny beside her, "Go and investigate that nanny Sheng. I don't believe she would mention the harem to Yinzhi for no reason."
The servants around Yinzhi were all carefully selected by her. Even the lowly maids were sent to him after several investigations. She had long said that no one was allowed to gossip in front of Yinzhi, for fear that he would lose his temper. But some people still dared to say it.

It seems there really are people in the harem who are always hoping for her misfortune.
The old woman replied in a deep voice, "Yes, Your Highness."
As Consort Hui's trusted nanny, she was bound to her fate, sharing both glory and ruin, so she would naturally do her best to investigate thoroughly.
Before the old nanny left, Consort Hui gave an order: "No matter what the result is after the investigation, don't let this old nanny serve Yinzhi anymore."
Whether or not she was bribed, she didn't want such a gossipy old woman to stay by her son's side.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the old woman finished speaking, she left.
