No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Lin Mingyan was unbuttoning his belt. Hearing this, she angrily threw up her clothes and pushed him onto the bed with one hand.

"Wait till he comes into the palace tomorrow and chews everything he sees, and see how the other brothers will laugh at you!"

The Fourth Master was not so easy to push down. He stretched out his hand and pulled her to lie on top of him.

He flipped her over and pressed her down, then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Laugh at me? You have to have the ability to laugh then."

He has eight sons, seven of whom are legitimate sons. Before any of his brothers laugh at him, they should think carefully about themselves.

"Okay, you have the ability!" Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Lin Mingyan could only let it go.

After all, the children followed him to celebrate the New Year, and if anything happened, he, as their father, would have to bear the burden.

When he was in Concubine De's palace, Hongli just nibbled on him, and the nanny would never say anything to him.

The Fourth Master pinched her puffy little face and said, "Our Cha Cha is capable. Not only can she give birth but she can also raise a baby."

"You raised these children so well that you didn't even get angry when your favorite ones fell."

She would look at the vase every day and arrange flowers in it herself from time to time.

He was really surprised that Hongli didn't say a single harsh word even after being thrown down by him.

After all, no matter whether they are rich or poor, or of high or low status, children will always be taught a lesson if they make mistakes.

He recalled his childhood in Empress Tong's palace. He had just learned that he was not her biological son, and he went to please her nervously.

While helping her put on the hairpins and rings, I accidentally broke a jade hairpin.

Although it was well-intentioned, he was punished by standing under the eaves for the entire afternoon.

From then on, his hands were very steady and he never knocked anything over again.

Seeing the regret in his eyes, Lin Mingyan knew that he was recalling his unhappy childhood.

He sighed and told me about his experience.

The two of them are really like little cabbages in the field, growing up without anyone caring or loving them.

I have no choice but to wait until I grow up and have the ability to raise my childhood self again.

Fortunately, we are together, so I have company.

That night, the Fourth Master was particularly energetic and passionate, making it hard to resist.

Lin Mingyan tickled him angrily, "I have to get up early to go to the palace tomorrow! If you keep making trouble, I'll go to sleep on the couch~"

The Fourth Master thought of his important task tomorrow, and reluctantly asked someone to bring in some water to help her wash before going to bed.

The next morning, Lin Mingyan got up early and went to the palace, leading a group of ten children into the carriage.

Fortunately, after entering the palace and separating from the Fourth Master, she only had to take care of the eldest princess and Yaliqi, and the Fourth Master would take care of the rest.

But after all, six of them were her own sons, so she turned around to look at them when they separated.

The quadruplets were still young and it was difficult for them to walk in the wind and snow, so a strong eunuch carried them on his back.

Honghui and the other four were about to go by themselves, but he was like a little adult, tall and strong, so it wasn't a waste of effort.

The three princes below Hongyun were in a miserable situation and could only grit their teeth and persevere.

Especially Hongyun, he looked at his four younger brothers with envy, wishing he could be two years younger.

It was still dark, and soon Lin Mingyan couldn't see clearly.

She held a little girl in each hand and headed towards Defei's Yonghe Palace.

Fortunately, someone cleaned the palace road all night, so except for being a little wet, it was not slippery and was easy to walk on.

After arriving at Yonghe Palace and changing his clothes in a warm side hall, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and was considered alive again.

After entering the main hall, Yaliqi bowed and ran to the side of Concubine De, and the two of them chatted intimately.

The eldest princess Wu Yunzhu was brought up very dignified by Geng. At this moment, she said auspicious words honestly and sat on the embroidered cushion beside her, quietly lowering her head slightly.

The kindergarten run by the Fourth Master accommodates all the older children in the mansion, and of course Wu Yunzhu is no exception.

She usually attends classes with Yaliqi and takes lunch in the same room at noon. They have a very good relationship.

During their days off, the two would invite each other to be their guests, just like playing house wine.

Seeing that Yaliqi had abandoned her to Concubine De, Lin Mingyan was afraid that Wu Yunzhu might have some ideas, so she hurried to help her make amends.

But after chatting with Wu Yunzhu for a few minutes, I knew that she really didn't care.

Some people like to act coquettishly with their elders, while others don't want to have anything to do with them at all.

Wu Yunzhu is the latter. If Yaliqi drags her to go to Concubine De to show her filial piety, she will be on pins and needles.

It's just right now, she can sit still and be quiet for a while.

Lin Mingyan turned her gaze back to Yaliqi. She didn't know what she said to Concubine De, but she made her laugh so hard that she was shaking.

These grandparents and grandchildren are destined to be together. In fact, Defei's personality is as awkward as the Fourth Master's. If she doesn't like someone, she won't even like her own daughter, let alone her grandson.

For example, Wen Xian, because she married Shun Anyan, she almost disliked her.

Even when Wen Xian suffered a serious crime this time, she just followed behind Emperor Kangxi, gave him some supplements as rewards, and then there was no more movement.

There was no mention of sending someone out to check on him from time to time, or calling Wen Xian in to check on him when he felt better.

Wen Xian asked for leave and did not come to the palace this time. One reason was that her body could not bear to go to the palace too early every day, and the other was that the mother and daughter were not close.

This year, the princesses from the Fourteenth Mansion were unable to come to Yonghe Palace. Two princesses were appointed to the Fourteenth Mansion this year. Shushu Jueluo had a companion, so it was not convenient for her to come to Concubine De.

After a while, the familiar sound of mahjong was heard again in the palace.

The main reason is that the time is too long and too difficult to endure. Playing mahjong is like turning on a time accelerator. You have to change clothes and eat in a short while.

After eating, continue playing until the next meal...

It wasn't so comfortable at the beginning. Although there was singing and dancing, the time was unbearable just by drinking and enjoying the music.

Emperor Kangxi sat there, eating dishes similar to those of previous years. Looking at his sons' gloomy expressions, he felt a little unhappy.

The sons have grown up, each one is young and strong, but has his own thoughts.

It's no longer the time when he can see through things at a glance.

Feeling the needle-like pain in his waist, his mood became even more depressed.

I don’t know if he was injured on the way to the southern tour, but he couldn’t get up when he offered sacrifices to Mount Tai.

After returning, the imperial physician gave him acupuncture and he felt a little better, but whenever he sat for a long time while reviewing memorials, he would feel a pain as if being pricked by a needle.

The pain that comes from time to time is not fatal, but there is no way to cure it.

The imperial physicians each used their own special skills, but the pain still persisted.

He sighed silently: Alas, I'm still old.

When I was young, I could stay energetic even if I worked for several nights, let alone sitting.

Now that I’m getting older, I feel uncomfortable here and there.

Then seeing my sons who are young and strong down there, that feeling...

Emperor Kangxi was not in a good mood, and no one sitting below dared to speak loudly. The atmosphere of this year's palace banquet became strange from the beginning.

Prince Zhi stood up and said, "Father, Hongyu is a naughty boy, so I have prepared a performance for you..."
