The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

The two fair and tender babies bounced vigorously in the hands of the two ladies, without any fear at all.

Yinzhen stood beside Rouyin with a smile on his face, looking at the two lively children.

The prince stood aside and watched this scene, his eyes darkened, and he felt that the sunlight today was a little too dazzling. The dignified and elegant Crown Princess, who was wearing a light yellow cheongsam, stood aside and glanced at the prince with some awareness. That look was a little bitter, but more of sarcasm.

Crown Princess Wende of the Guaerjia clan was born in the Han army of the Plain White Banner, and was the legitimate daughter of Shi Wenbing, the third-class baron. Outsiders only heard how luxurious her status as the Crown Princess was, but no one knew the pain in her heart. The Crown Prince favored his concubines and killed his wife, disregarding the rule of law. He indulged his subordinates to do evil, and his character was tyrannical and coercive. He used to listen to some words, but later he became more and more unrestrained with the indulgence of concubines and corrupt officials. When he came to the court, he also tried to win over ministers of his own faction. The Crown Princess was a smart woman. She didn't think that Kangxi, who was in his prime, would tolerate a grown-up Crown Prince who threatened his power. But between husband and wife, if one suffered, both suffered. Poor her only daughter, she just hoped that she could have a good care.

Thinking about all this, the Crown Princess looked at the Crown Prince's predatory eyes with some hatred and fear. She hated that he, as the Crown Prince, still coveted her younger brother's wife. She was also afraid that one day his secret would be exposed and he would implicate her and her child.

She appeared calm and joyful as she walked forward, blocking the prince's gaze and looking at the two children who had already been baptized. "Oh, please let me hug the two children today. Fourth brother's wife is so blessed."

After turning slightly to salute, Rouyin held the soft and cute Yilejia and said to the Crown Princess: "Please, Crown Princess, these two children are a little tired, and it really makes me feel relaxed if you hold them for me."

The Crown Princess had originally done this for the Crown Prince, but now looking at the incredibly adorable Yilejia she really couldn't wait. The little white princess had black curly hair, big round eyes, thick eyelashes, and a rosy little mouth that babble baby talk. She was like a living, exquisite doll that would melt any cold-hearted person. The Crown Princess, who liked children in the first place, looked at her carefully and fondly, holding her in her arms and teasing her even more.

The little princess was not shy. She stared at the beautiful aunt whom she had never seen before with her big round eyes, and suddenly she started to giggle.

Rouyin poked Yilejia's delicate white face and said, "This child and the Crown Princess are destined to be together. When he saw the Crown Princess, he smiled."

The Crown Princess nodded with joy in her eyes, "Does the child have a nickname? He looks so adorable. He will definitely be a peerless beauty who will charm all the talented men in the capital." This is indeed true. Yilejia inherited seven points of her mother's beauty. Her appearance will be enough to charm thousands of young men in the future.

Rouyin smiled gently, "The nickname was given by the Fourth Master, An An. I don't ask her to be very beautiful in the future, I just hope she can grow up healthy and safe."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess thought of her frail and sickly daughter and responded in agreement, "Yes, as long as the child is safe and sound." She felt even more favorable towards the Fourth Lady.

The banquet ended quickly, and Rouyin said to Liu Qing, "Put together the gifts from the guests for Honghui and Yilejia separately and send them to the warehouse." Rouyin planned to build up some confidence for her children from an early age, and was thinking about opening a few more shops to buy more for her children later.

Yinzhen was amused, "Fujin just bought some gifts for the child, why are you already worried?" Seeing the mother and son making the same frowning gesture, his heart softened. He took Yilejia, who was looking around in Rouyin's arms, and shook her whole body skillfully, feeling the heavy weight, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Master, the child's dowry and family assets must be saved up since childhood. As their mother, I just hope it can be more." Rouyin said helplessly.

After hearing Rouyin's words, Yinzhen was also a little worried. Thinking about the fights in the court, the prince's brutality, and then turning to look at his wife who looked like a fairy, his eyes were filled with more ambition, "Don't worry, Yin'er, I will back up the children's family. If anyone bullies our little princess, I will skin him alive." After saying this, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. (Sad for the future prince consort.)

After all, children's energy is limited. The two white balls began to feel sleepy after the etiquette. Seeing this, Yinzhen asked the wet nurses waiting nearby to take them back.

He looked at Rouyin under the light. Her flawless white face seemed even more dazzling, and her watery eyes were full of charm. He couldn't help but pick up his slim little wife who had given birth to a child and walked towards the bed, saying hoarsely, "It's time for us to settle Yin'er." A pair of big hands blocked Rouyin's enchanting eyes and the beauty in the room.

Rouyin planned to give birth to more children while the battle for the throne of the Nine Dragons had not yet officially heated up, and while Emperor Kangxi was still relatively healthy. It would be safer to have more children after the emperor ascended the throne. Therefore, she had already taken the fertility pill in advance (the fertility pill was random, depending on the individual's physique). However, she herself did not know how many children this time, and could only scan and detect them later.

During this period, Rouyin also lived a leisurely life raising and playing with the baby. From time to time, she embroidered some small clothes and hats, and tasted some cakes provided by the small kitchen. Her life was so leisurely and comfortable, which made the busy Fourth Master very proud. These were all his contributions to the Lady.

Hua Rui chattered to Rouyin, "Fujin, there's a big incident outside the palace!"

Rouyin asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Hearing her master's interest, Hua Rui became excited and said, "The court wants to grant a marriage to General Lin Cheng, the legitimate son of General Lin Zhengwei, and the young general. Then General Lin said that he had been engaged to Princess Li Jia, the legitimate daughter of Prince Gong's mansion, since childhood. General Lin asked for permission to marry Princess Li Jia to his son as soon as possible because his legitimate son is getting older."

Liu Qing asked doubtfully: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Hua Rui shook her head. "If this were the case, it would be a good thing. Unfortunately, General Lin and his cousin from the mansion grew up together and secretly fell in love. When he heard that the princess was coming to the capital, he eloped with the cousin."

Shi Liu was shocked and said, "Princess Lijia is a royal relative. Although His Majesty has not issued an imperial decree, this is a fact known to all. Isn't this general afraid of His Majesty's blame for running away from marriage?"

Rouyin raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully: "This general's family is large and powerful, and has made great contributions. Does he expect that a princess of a prince's family can't compare to his legitimate son?!"
