The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

At night, Yinzhen skillfully slipped into Rouyin's bedroom, looked at her slightly frail face, and held her hand with some heartache, "Yin'er, are you feeling better?"

"Master, you come in again." Rouyin looked helplessly at her husband with eyes full of heartache.

"This is not the first time, Father Your Majesty, you understand. Besides, my wife is going through the pain of childbirth, and as a man, I can't sleep peacefully alone!" Yinzhen touched his wife's smooth hair and gently rubbed her legs.

"Go to sleep, you will be fine in a few days. Doesn't Yin'er want to eat Inner Mongolian mutton? I brought back a few and raised them in the manor. When you are better, we will kill them to nourish your body."

Rouyin rested her head against Yinzhen's chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat. She gradually felt sleepy and murmured, "Okay..."

Yinzhen looked at Rouyin's somewhat pale face and felt a dense pain in his heart. He did not dare to wake her up, but just leaned towards her slightly, held her in his arms, and patted her gently until dawn.

The next day, at the court meeting, Kangxi looked at Yinzhen and asked, "Has your wife given birth?"

Yinzhen was not surprised. His Majesty was so powerful that he could not hide it from him. He bowed and said, "My Majesty, my son's wife gave birth to quadruplets yesterday. They are four little princes. I wanted to announce the good news after leaving the court."

After hearing this, everyone stared at the Fourth Prince with surprised eyes. They were tired of saying words of envy. The Fourth Prince's wife had previously given birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and now she has quadruplets. This blessing is really...

Kangxi waved his hands and said with a smile, "Very good! Quadruplets are a rare auspicious sign. I will give you names: Second Prince Hongyi, Third Prince Hongzhou, Fourth Prince Hongxiang, and Fifth Prince Hongchao."

"Thank you, Father, for your reward. I am deeply grateful." Yinzhen replied respectfully.

Yinzhen felt several jealous gazes, but smiled indifferently. His wife had given birth to quadruplets and he was so happy now. The most obvious gaze came from the crown prince standing below. He only had one legitimate daughter and she was very sick. He stared at the fourth prince with jealous eyes. His fourth brother married such a beautiful wife and now had five legitimate sons. This blessing was too great.

Another more secret envy came from the Eighth Prince. He had been married for several years but had no children, not even a legitimate daughter. Upon hearing this, he pursed his dry lips with a bitter look.

The other nine princes and the tenth prince were thinking purely for their fourth sister-in-law and felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking of such a beautiful girl who seemed like a fairy concubine, but now she had given birth to six children, bitterness spread throughout their hearts.

Kangxi, who was sitting at the top, saw everything. Looking at the prince's increasingly arrogant expression and recalling his every move after leaving the border, his eyes turned cold.

What happened in the court was brought home by the ministers. One minister said to his wife that some valuable gifts should be sent to the Fourth Prince's house. Such things happened countless times among the powerful people in the capital.

When Rouyin woke up in the morning, she also knew that her four children had been named by His Majesty. She was not surprised. If they were twins and they were little princes, the emperor would definitely name them himself. However, she could only name her own children after her father ascended the throne. Anyway, she didn't plan to have any more children now. It was estimated that the battle for the throne among the princes would be in full swing in a while. She planned to wait until her father ascended the throne before having a few more children.

In the early morning, the east courtyard had already been cleaned up, and there were several stoves in the house, making it very warm.

Madam Lin sat next to Rouyin and said with a smile: "Yin'er now has six children who have been given names by the emperor. Even if he has done nothing wrong, he can still be a wealthy prince with nothing to do. I am relieved. I have stayed here too long these days. I am afraid that others will gossip about me. Besides, the Ulanara Mansion cannot do without me. I should go back today."

Rouyin was a little reluctant, but she also knew that her mother was right, so she responded, "Don't worry, mother. I'll mention it when I come back today. Mother likes to eat some fruits, so why not bring some tribute fruits home?"

Yinzhen, who had just returned home, heard the words and strode in. He smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you have come to help me a lot. I will feel guilty if I refuse again." He cooperated with Fu Jin in persuading her, and the two of them made Mrs. Lin dizzy. She could only agree.

Yonghe Palace.

De Fei, who was pestered by the Fourteenth Prince to go see the quadruplets at the Fourth Prince's house, was a little surprised, "Aren't the Fourth Prince's children triplets? How did they become quadruplets? And four little princes at that!"

"Mother, you don't know that when Fourth Sister-in-law took the pulse of a child, she found that the pulse was weak, so she didn't diagnose it." Fourteenth Prince said to Mother coquettishly. In this life, perhaps because of Fourth Sister-in-law, Fourteenth Prince did not hate Fourth Brother as much as in his previous life. Instead, he often wanted to go to Fourth Brother's house to play. Even if he met Fourth Brother on weekdays, he would greet him warmly. If modern people knew about this, they would definitely tell Fourteenth Prince that he was a face control in the end. Because of Fourth Sister-in-law's peerless beauty, he didn't care that much about Eighth Brother, the most beautiful among the several princes. His love for Fourth Brother was completely out of love for the whole family.

Concubine De thought about it. It turned out that she did not allow the Fourteenth Prince to go to his fourth brother's house because she had a grudge against her eldest son. Later, he disobeyed her for his wife. She was even more suffocated. She stared blankly at the Fourteenth Prince who was somewhat similar to his brother. Thinking of her eldest son, she had also been looking forward to his birth. Now...

Never mind. "The child has just been born. Zhen'er may as well go to your fourth brother's house after the full moon." Upon hearing this, the Fourteenth Prince replied excitedly. He was just trying to test Mother's attitude. Mother didn't like Fourth Brother. Originally, he thought that Fourth Brother was unfilial and inconsiderate to Mother. Later, when he grew up, he knew the reason. He didn't know how to ease the relationship between Mother and Fourth Brother. He could only mention Fourth Brother's good points in front of Mother to ease the relationship. Mother agreed with him, and now he was really happy.

Yinzhen at home didn't know that his own brother was in Yonghe Palace saying nice things to him and trying to please his mother.

After Yinzhen, his wife, and his mother-in-law had a family dinner, he personally escorted his mother-in-law to the carriage. He also put some rare tribute gifts as a thank you gift, and packed them together with the tribute fruits to give to his mother-in-law.

After all this was done, the sky gradually darkened a little, and many white and light snowflakes slowly floated up and landed on the pavilions and terraces. It was beautiful, quiet and sacred.

Rouyin lay in the house, looking out through the dim window, "Liu Qing, is it snowing outside?"

Liu Qing said in surprise: "Fujin, it's snowing outside! This is the first snow of the year!"

"What a pity, Xuemei, I can't see clearly in this room." Rouyin said regretfully.

"Don't worry, Madam. It's snowing continuously in the capital. When you are out of confinement, you can open the window and take a look." Nanny Wang said to Madam Fu Jin with a loving smile.

"Um……"

"What did the wife say? Let me listen too!" Yinzhen strode in with some early winter chill. He took off his black cloak made of wolfskin, and carried the stove until he got rid of the wetness on his body, then he walked to his wife.

"Master, I just talked about the snow. It's hard to see this magnificent snow scene with your own eyes." Yinzhen looked at Rouyin's bright eyes and felt a little distressed. The windows in the room were tightly sealed and it was impossible to see clearly. He smiled and said, "A few days ago, the emperor gave me some glass. Master saw that this glass was crystal clear and could reflect everything clearly. I sent it to you and put it on the window. It doesn't have drafts and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery."

Rouyin patted her head lightly. Why didn't she think of glass? She was really stupid for three years after pregnancy. She forgot about the good thing of glass. She smiled and said to the prince: "Master, this glass can become colorful in the sun?"

"How did Yin'er know?" Yinzhen was a little confused.

"You know, my Lord. I love to read some miscellaneous books. I saw a miscellaneous book before. It described the method of glass casting. It also said that glass is crystal clear and as smooth as a mirror. It can become colorful when you look at it. After reading it, I thought it was some miscellaneous notes written by ordinary people."

Yinzhen was a little excited, "Yin'er, you don't know, this mirror was a tribute from the West, it's rare, one is worth a thousand gold and hard to buy."

"Master, my book is in the warehouse. I asked Liu Qing to get it." Liu Qing was a little surprised. Among all the books that Fu Jin read, was there this miscellaneous notes? She was a little confused and thought for a while that maybe she read it when she was not around.
