Tong Nuanyan smiled and asked Xinyu to stand up, then held her in her arms.

"Xinyu, the weather has been cold these days, why are you wearing so little?"

Reaching out and stroking Xinyu's sleeve, Tong Nuanyan frowned slightly and said, looking at the girl who followed in.

The girl has a good appearance and was promoted by Qiuyu. She was placed next to Xinyu because she was considered reliable.

Ling Nian knelt down quickly, but his posture remained steady, which made Tong Nuanyan somewhat satisfied.

"To reply to Concubine, it was my fault for not noticing this. Please punish me, Concubine."

But Xin Yu was not happy about it. She turned around and explained to her mother, "Mother, it has nothing to do with Aunt Ling. It's just that my daughter has been practicing too hot these days."

Seeing the person in her arms say this, Tong Nuanyan naturally would not continue to care about it. She smiled lightly and said to Ling Nian: "You are also loyal. It's not that Xinyu is obsessed with this. Get up. Serve me well in the future, and you will get benefits."

Weiwei signaled to Qiuyu and took Xinyu out of the inner room, leaving Qiuyu and Lingnian to talk.

"Take it. This is a reward from Concubine Fujin for you. If you always protect the princess and treat her well, Concubine Fujin will treat you well."

Qiuyu took out a few jade bracelets that looked very expensive from a box. They were all rare treasures and placed them in Lingnian's hands.

Looking at the gorgeous bracelet, Ling Nian didn't show much joy on his face. He took it calmly and thanked respectfully.

Looking at her behavior, Qiuyu was also very satisfied. If Lingnian was smiling happily because of this bracelet, then she had misjudged her.

The Prince Yong's Mansion was decorated with lights and colors once again.

This time, the Fourth Lady personally organized the birthday banquet for Yinzhen. She used to be careless about everything because of Honghui, but this time she was extremely attentive.

Fallen Plum Courtyard.

Since the birth of the seventh prince Hongshi, Li Qinya was promoted to concubine and her mood improved a lot. Although she was no longer as weak as before, she looked a little sickly.

"You useless thing! I've been drinking the medicine for so long, but I still don't feel any better!"

Li Qinya felt very uncomfortable when she threw the medicine on the table down again. When she gave birth to Hongshi, she was born prematurely, and the court doctor prescribed a lot of oxytocin, which caused her to hurt her body.

Even the formula for fertility that she drank before becoming pregnant with Hongshi was useless, which shows how anxious she was.

Dongying carefully picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and drove everyone else out of the house.

"Concubine, we still have the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince. We are always in an advantageous position in the palace. What Concubine has to do now is to take good care of the two princes."

Li Qinya, who was originally still angry, calmed down a lot after hearing what she said. Dongying had advised her like this many times in the past year, and she listened to it, but she was not willing to give in.

There are four princes under the command of Piaoxueyuan, and they have become the objects of flattery in the entire palace. In the past, those people all flattered her. How can she be willing to accept this?

"How could I not know that Piaoxueyuan had received so many good things even though they were both raising a prince? Even the Emperor and the Empress Dowager in the palace had given them many rewards. My Hongshi and Hongyun are far inferior to them!"

How could Dongying not know this? This strong contrast would only make people feel more unfair and even extremely jealous, which would harm themselves.

"Concubine, I know that raising the two princes is the most important thing now. The two princes are talented, so the prince has chosen them!"

Li reacted immediately and her eyes gradually became deep. Hongyun was weak to begin with, and now he was eight years old, and his performance in the study room was not outstanding.

On the contrary, Honghui from the main courtyard and the two from Piaoxue courtyard always receive generous praise from the prince, while her Hongyun, not only does not receive much praise, but some people even gossip behind his back, saying that he is a sickly person!

"The prince's birthday is coming up in a few days. Are the things I asked you to prepare ready?"

Dongying's heart trembled slightly, and she nodded slightly to Li Qinya.

October 30, the 44th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

Prince Yong was celebrating his 27th birthday. Naturally, there were many guests attending such a happy event. Everyone knew that Prince Yong had been doing a good job in the court in recent years and his momentum was unstoppable.

Many princes came to the banquet with their families, among which the most eye-catching were the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang and the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen.

The two were at the age of fine clothes and vigorous horses, and they had legitimate wives who had been married for only two years. Among them, the fourteenth wife, Wanyan, had just given birth to a legitimate son for the fourteenth prince in the first half of this year.

On the contrary, the Thirteenth Prince, who got married earlier, has only one illegitimate son who was born last year, which naturally aroused speculation among many people.

In the past two years, Yinzhen's relationship with the Fourteenth Prince has improved a lot because of Hongzhao's original painting, and at least they are no longer at loggerheads with each other.

"Fourth brother, today is your birthday, you have to drink a little no matter what! I can't let you escape."

Thirteen is now nineteen years old. He is tall and has the Aisin-Gioro family's inherited phoenix eyes. He looks at everyone with a deep look and always has a smile on his face, making it impossible to tell what he is really thinking.

The Fourteenth Prince standing next to him looks somewhat similar to Yinzhen, but his personality is very different, and even his smile is extremely hearty.

"Yes, Fourth Brother, I must not return home until I am drunk today!"

The two legitimate wives next to them looked at their master, glanced at each other, and then went to the women's side together.

Since Yinxiang was raised by Concubine De, he went to Yonghe Palace to pay his respects after Concubine Min passed away. Therefore, the Thirteenth Concubine Zhaojia and the Fourteenth Concubine Wanyan got along quite well.

Zhaojia's appearance was not outstanding, but fortunately, when Kangxi chose a wife for his son, he did not consider her appearance but her family background.

However, Wanyan's appearance was outstanding. Defei personally selected her for her own son, so she was of good family background and appearance.

One of them was wearing a lavender work suit, a light and elegant headdress and hairpins; the other one was wearing a light pink work suit, a luxurious and eye-catching headdress.

When Tong Nuanyan saw them at the banquet, several children surrounded her, which made her feel sweetly distressed.

Zhaojia took up her handkerchief and covered her lips with a smile, then pulled Wanyan over.

"Little Fourth Sister-in-law, I don't know whether I envy you or feel sorry for you. Come, Hongyan and Hongxu, come to your aunt."

Zhao Jia sat down and helped Tong Nuan Yan out by taking the meals of the two princes. Wan Yan also took Jiao Yue's meal with a smile.

"Now that you're here, there are so many children. I can't take care of them all at once. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Tong Nuanyan had met these two people many times in the past two years and they got along well with each other, especially during the months when Wanyan was pregnant. She always came to her to ask her to teach her about the precautions during pregnancy.

"No, it's us who have something to ask Sister-in-law Si."

Zhaojia and Wanyan looked at each other, and finally, Zhaojia took the lead and stepped forward and whispered, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, I have been married to the Thirteenth Master for two years, but I still can't get pregnant. Do you have any solution?"

Wanyan asked, "Sister-in-law Si, my health has deteriorated a lot since I gave birth to Hongming. Do you have any prescriptions to help me recover?"

Seeing the two people's eager eyes, Tong Nuanyan pretended to be thoughtful, which made the two people anxious for a moment, and then said in a low voice:

"If you ask me, I don't have any solution, but I know there is a place that can help you."

The two looked at each other again, and Zhao Jia asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about... the tertiary hospital in the suburbs?"

Tong Nuanyan smiled but said nothing. She couldn't reveal her own strength, but she would still help her. It just depended on whether the two would listen.

Because of the Thirteenth Prince's reason, Zhao Jia naturally believed it, gritted her teeth and nodded, then concentrated on feeding Hong Yan and Hong Xu.
