Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder
Chapter 261 Cannon Fodder Lady Raising a Cub 28
The days passed, and soon it was the quintuplets' full-month party.
On this day, the Tenth Prince's residence was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. Mu Xi was able to leave the confinement period and dressed the quintuplets in festive clothes.
During this month, Mu Xi fed the quintuplets bone-strengthening pills and detoxifying pills. Now the quintuplets are immune to all poisons. They are plump, fair-skinned, with white teeth and red lips, and look full of life. They look very lovable.
The Crown Princess and several other princes' wives saw how cute the quintuplets were in the baby room and couldn't help but hold them in their arms. The Crown Princess asked with a smile on her face, "Tenth brother's wife, have you given these quintuplets a nickname yet?"
Mu Xi smiled and replied, "They all have nicknames. Grandpa and I hope that they can live in peace, happiness, and health in the future! So their nicknames are Ping Ping, An An, Xi Bao, Kang Kang, and Fu Bao."
Several princes' wives also laughed after hearing this. As mothers, of course they hope their children grow up healthy!
The Eighth and Ninth Concubines looked at the five pink balls with jealous eyes that could hardly be hidden. When they saw Mu Xi smiling happily, they wanted to say something back, but when they remembered their master's instructions before they left, they held back.
At the full moon banquet, the imperial edict of Emperor Kangxi to name the quintuplets arrived early, namely Hongxu, Honghao, Hongyu, Hongbin and Hongxuan. At the same time, a lot of rewards were also sent.
After seeing the imperial edict, the other princes were extremely envious of the Tenth Prince. At the same time, they felt very aggrieved when they thought about how old their own children were when they were given names. In the past, everyone was the same and they didn't think it was a big deal, but now that they had the Tenth Brother as a comparison, they immediately became a little angry.
When Yin'e brought out the quintuplets, the Ninth Prince immediately went forward to see what they looked like, and was stunned at the first sight.
The Ninth Prince stuttered a little and said, "My nephew Hongxu looks just like my father!"
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince and the eldest prince immediately leaned over to take a look and found that they really looked alike, about 60% similar.
The eldest prince even said jokingly, "Tenth brother, you are really keeping it a secret. Are you afraid that the emperor will snatch your son from you?"
Yin'e felt that he was wronged. He really didn't pay attention to the child's appearance. Now he was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, with no way to express his pain.
So he said, "I really didn't hide it. I just wanted to give the emperor a surprise. Who knew you would reveal it."
When Mu Xi saw Yin'e's little movements, she knew he was talking nonsense. Yin'e didn't even notice that Pingping and Kangxi looked alike. No wonder he never said anything about it.
When the prince and his companions heard Yin'e's words, they all laughed, but who knew whether they believed it or not.
After the quintuplets appeared, they were taken back by their nanny.
At the full moon banquet, several princes, perhaps provoked by Yin'e, kept forcing Yin'e to drink. They took turns to get Yin'e drunk, even the eighth and ninth princes, who had a good relationship with him, were no exception.
After the banquet, Yin'e returned to the dormitory drunk. Mu Xi looked at Yin'e, who was drunk, and with a bit of disgust, she asked someone to help Yin'e wash up.
After Yin'e finished washing up, he no longer looked drunk. Mu Xi saw that he was very sober and didn't look like he was drunk at all.
Yin'e said proudly at this time, "Fujin, I'm awesome, aren't I? My brothers all wanted to get me drunk, but they ended up getting drunk themselves.
Hehe! I added water to my wine, but I can't get drunk. Fu Jin, praise me, I'm smart. "
Mu Xi didn't expect that this fool was so smart. She probably didn't even know that her younger brother was playing tricks on her.
Seeing that Mu Xi didn't say anything, Yin'e continued, "Fujin, I miss you."
As Yin'e spoke, he had already started to take action. Before Mu Xi could react, Yin'e had already pulled her over to the bed.
Looking at the impatient Yin'e, Mu Xi felt that she wouldn't have to get up tomorrow.
The next morning, Mu Xi lay on the couch with no desire to live, thinking about the necessity of fake pregnancy, otherwise she would die in bed sooner or later. She would become the first concubine to die in bed because of that.
I thought that in later generations I would be mentioned as the first lady who died of exhaustion in bed.
Mu Xi shuddered. Although she couldn’t see it, it was really a terrible thing.
The next day, Mu Xi brought the quintuplets to the palace to visit the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine looked at the chubby Wubao and couldn't stop smiling.
Especially the second child, An An, who looks a bit like the imperial concubine and likes her very much.
The imperial concubine held the well-behaved An An in her arms and said, "The selection will be held soon. This time, since the prince has too few sons, the emperor wants to give each of the princes a wife, and he has long since told us mothers to pay attention.
However, the emperor also told my mother that it was Yin'e who begged for only you, and my mother had no objection. As long as the two of you give me more grandchildren, that would be enough.
But don’t give birth too frequently, you need to take good care of your body first.”
Mu Xi looked at the imperial concubine who was almost at the end of her life. She felt that at most she could only extend her mother's life by about one year.
But when I think about the talent show, it will be fun to watch.
Mu Xi smiled and replied to the imperial concubine, "Mother, your daughter-in-law knows."
Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed, and when they saw that it was almost time, they took the children to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled happily at the sight of the lively quintuplets, while Concubine De watched it all jealously from the side.
Mu Xi didn't care when she discovered Concubine De's sharp eyes. After all, Concubine De's good days were over. Yin'e had already collected evidence of the Uya family's corruption and was just waiting for the right time to overthrow the entire family in one fell swoop.
"The Emperor has arrived!" A sharp voice came from the door of Ningshou Palace.
When the concubines present heard this, they immediately smiled gently and greeted Kangxi.
Kangxi smiled and asked everyone to sit down. Then he looked at the quintuplets and said, "These are the quintuplets from the tenth family. They are really strong."
Kangxi came today because he heard that Hongxu looked very much like him, so he came to see him.
The Queen Mother said with a smile, "Emperor, look at Pingping, she looks just like you when you were a child."
Kangxi looked at the little kid in front of him, who smiled at him endearingly and even stretched out his hands for a hug.
Kangxi was immediately delighted. He reached out and picked up this cute baby who looked like him, then started playing with him with his toys.
Pingping was also very considerate and laughed, not at all shy.
When the other concubines saw that Kangxi actually held Pingping in his arms, the concubines with children felt very upset because their grandson had not even been seen by the emperor, let alone held in his arms.
The lady of honor who also came to pay her respects today also felt jealous. Since her tenth brother's wife was favored, her son was also favored by the emperor.
Thinking about this talent show, several more people will enter the mansion.
Thinking that the Tenth Prince only has his wife, so this time there should be someone else coming in, he was waiting to see Mu Xi's show with a bit of gloating.
But these ladies will be disappointed.
Kangxi did not let anyone know that no one would enter the Tenth Prince's mansion, so no one knew about it.
In fact, Kangxi also left a way out for Yin'e. In case Yin'e wanted to find a woman and few people knew about it, he could cancel this promise.
After teasing Pingping for a while, Kangxi said to Mu Xi, "Tenth Lady, the quintuplets are well taken care of. Bring them to the palace more often to keep the Empress Dowager company." This way I can see them from time to time.
Then Kangxi rewarded Mu Xi with a bunch of jewels and supplements and left. After all, the emperor was also very busy and needed to deal with government affairs.
