Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 134 Honghui and Baptism

With the decree to confer the title of the legitimate wife, Concubine De tried again, "Your Majesty, it is not easy for the fourth son to have this only child after so many years. I want to ask a respected person to give the child a name and bless the child to grow up safely."

While talking about finding a respected person, Defei's eyes were always on Kangxi.

Kangxi understood what Concubine De meant. In addition to being his grandson, this child was also Jiang Chen's nephew. It was reasonable and proper for him to have this honor.

"If you want me to name your child, just tell me directly. Why do you have to flatter me?"

Concubine De smiled and handed Kangxi a cup of tea, saying flatteringly: "It is an honor for the child that the emperor can personally name him. I want to do it, but can I force the emperor to do it?"

Defei's words soothed the last bit of resentment in Kangxi's heart, and he began to happily think of a name for the child. "I heard that the child was born this morning?"

When Concubine De heard this, she knew that Kangxi agreed, and she quickly responded, "That's right. I heard from Su Peisheng that the child was born when the first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds in the morning. There were some dark clouds a few days ago, but from that day on, the sky was clear."

What Defei said was not out of the ordinary, nor was it some overly miraculous celestial phenomenon. She was just flattering the weather. Since he had been reborn as a dragon's grandson, it was normal for his birth to be a little unusual.

After hearing Concubine De's answer, Kangxi tapped the table with his finger in deep thought, and finally said: "This child has a connection with the sun, so let's name him Honghui. I hope this child can be blessed by the sun, have a bright future, and grow up healthily."

Defei bowed to Kangxi and said, "I want to thank you on behalf of Yinzhen. Honghui is such a good name."

In fact, no matter what name Kangxi gave, it would be a good name. After all, there were so many imperial grandchildren. The honor of the name given by Kangxi was not only unique, but also one in a hundred.

Kangxi helped Concubine De up with a smile, and said, "It's clear that you and the Fourth Prince have not had a harmonious relationship over the years, but now you are working so hard for him."

Defei became nervous after hearing this. She and the Fourth Prince disliked each other, but the people in the palace only knew that it was because of the Fourth Prince's adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyiren. However, neither side wanted others to watch the fun, and they had always been polite to each other. However, Kangxi knew the real situation between mother and son. I wonder who in Yonghe Palace was Kangxi's spy?

De Fei could only try her best to make amends, "Look at what the emperor said, it seems that I am not a loving mother. Honghui is my first grandson. How can I not think about Honghui?"

Defei could only shift the topic to her love for Honghui.

Fortunately, Kangxi had only mentioned it casually and had no intention of pursuing the matter. "I know that Chengbi is getting older and his temper is getting worse."

Defei glanced at Kangxi in a reproachful manner, "If Your Majesty thinks that I have a bad temper, then don't come to my place!"

Kangxi smiled helplessly and coaxed, "I wrote an imperial decree to confer a title on Ulanara and gave Honghui a name. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Chengbi really wants to kick me out just because he got the advantage."

Defei sat down next to Kangxi and said, "It is because the emperor thinks I am petty, but I think Shufei is so gentle and considerate that the emperor cannot let her go."

Hearing Defei's sour words, Kangxi smiled complacently. He really enjoyed the concubines' jealousy like little girls in the harem. It was a manifestation of the women's love for him.

Defei made Kangxi very happy, so Kangxi naturally stayed overnight.

On the day of Honghui's third birthday, two imperial edicts brought the grand banquet to a climax.

Kangxi was very good at handling things when he wanted to be a decent person. The imperial edict was written two days in advance, but he waited until the third day of the baby's bath to issue the order. The concubine was promoted to the eldest son of the Fourth Prince, and Honghui became the legitimate eldest son of the Fourth Prince. He also got such a good name. It is hard not to be jealous.

The impatient Third Prince spoke first, "Fourth Prince is very capable. He was able to coax the Emperor to give your family such an honor. Can you teach your brother as well?"

In addition to being jealous of the Fourth Prince, the Third Prince also felt that the Fourth Prince had used him as an excuse to contact Jiang Chen. As Jiang Chen and Yi Xiu recognized each other as their relatives, the Fourth Prince and Jiang Chen grew closer and closer. Only then did the Third Prince realize that he had become a substitute, and that the Fourth Prince and Jiang Chen were the true love.

It is impossible for the Third Prince to admit that he is not a good leader and cannot gain Jiang Chen's loyalty. He can only accuse the Fourth Prince of being petty and following the path of staying in the rear quarters.

The Fourth Prince was very accustomed to the situation where the Third Prince would say a few sarcastic words. Just say it. Can you say it and make a piece of meat fall off? No matter how sarcastic you are, Jiang Chen is still my man.

The Fourth Prince smiled heartily and responded to the Third Prince: "Third Brother, you are wrong about me. It is only because of the Emperor's mercy that I have the honor today. The Third Prince is valued by the Emperor, so I don't think these things are worth mentioning."

The third prince was spoiled, and the fourth prince could only put in effort in these small matters to express the emperor's favor to him. The emperor's cultivation of him was from the previous dynasty and was not on the same level at all.

After comforting himself, the Third Prince began to like the Fourth Prince and said nothing more.

Seeing that the Third Prince couldn't grasp the main point and was fooled by the Fourth Prince's few words, the Eldest Prince snorted with disdain in his heart. It was no wonder that the duck at his mouth could fly away, considering the Third Prince's nerd look.

After so many years of court experience, the eldest prince has begun to grow his brains. He speaks in a murderous and heartbreaking way, "Come to think of it, before the emperor bestowed the name, only Hongxi from the crown prince's family had it, right?"

The belatedly arrived prince directly retorted: "Big Boss, you are still such a dog that can't spit out ivory. People who don't know the inside story will think that the emperor has no love for his grandchildren and doesn't care about them at all after hearing what you said!"

After talking to the eldest prince, the prince said to the fourth prince with embarrassment: "Some government affairs in the East Palace delayed me for a while. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

How could the Fourth Prince dare to blame the Crown Prince?

"Your Highness is the crown prince of a country and is busy with government affairs every day. It is not easy for you to attend Honghui's third-day baptism ceremony. I am very grateful to you."

The eldest prince was so angry that he wanted to flip the table when he saw the crown prince ignoring him and chatting with the fourth prince. The eighth prince, who was standing by, sensed the eldest prince's displeasure and hurried to smooth things over, "Fourth brother, the brothers are waiting to see our little nephew! When can Honghui be brought out?"

The Fourth Prince did not want the quarrel between the First Prince and the Crown Prince to affect Honghui's third-day baptism ceremony, so he followed the Eighth Prince's words and said, "The child cannot stand the wind, so he can only be brought out after the ceremony begins. Don't worry, Eighth Brother, you will see your little nephew soon."

The eldest prince was interrupted by the eighth prince, and regained his senses. He hugged the eighth prince affectionately and said, "Old Eighth Prince is so anxious, so you and your wife will have a few big fat boys in the future!"

Because of the relationship with the Ninth Prince, the Eighth Prince fell in love with the princess from the Guo Luoluo family and was just waiting for Emperor Kangxi's decree to grant them marriage. After hearing what the Eldest Prince said, she blushed so much that she wanted to crawl into the ground.

The brothers laughed, and the storm disappeared without a trace.
