Kangxi was feeling rather bored and was about to go out for a walk when a young eunuch came in, knelt down and saluted, then said, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Lady has brought Prince Honghui to pay their respects to you. Also with them is the concubine Gan from the Fourth Prince's Palace."

When Kangxi heard that his beloved grandson had arrived, he immediately put on a big smile.

"Hey, the little monkeys are coming! Let them in!"

Yixiu, with Gan Ziyun holding Honghui, knelt on the ground and respectfully saluted Emperor Kangxi: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health!"

Gan Ziyun said, "I, Gan, pay my respects to His Majesty. May His Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness!"

Gan Ziyun's marriage was arranged by Emperor Kangxi himself, but Emperor Kangxi never paid much attention to this person.

After all, Kangxi now has all his heart on his little grandson.

He winked at Liang Jiugong, indicating that Liang Jiugong should bring Honghui over first.

Honghui had been staying in Gan Ziyun's arms all the time. When someone suddenly changed his arms, he was a little reluctant and started crying.

When Gan Ziyun saw this, she couldn't hide her worry in her eyes, but she couldn't show it in front of Kangxi.

Kangxi knew all of this, but he said nothing.

Honghui only started to laugh when he was in Kangxi's arms.

Liang Jiugong was also surprised. Although he was not as good as an expert in holding a baby, he was much better than the Emperor.

But this little prince Honghui wanted to jump out in his arms, but when he was in the arms of His Majesty, he laughed.

Kangxi said proudly: "You don't know, this child recognizes me! He has always been close to me, and it is impossible for him to be in the arms of others!"

Liang Jiugong: “…………”

Kangxi was an emperor who cared most about face and liked to appear different in front of others.

Coincidentally, Honghui gave him this face, and he now likes Honghui very much.

Seeing this, Yixiu also hurriedly smiled and said, "Who says it's not? Honghui made a fuss early this morning. I don't know what he wants to do. Suddenly, I remembered that he was the most well-behaved after meeting the emperor, so I boldly brought him here to disturb the emperor's peace!"

Although he knew that Yixiu's words were just compliments, Kangxi still couldn't hide his pride.

"I don't know why, but this kid and I are like destined grandparents. We can't help but get affectionate the moment we meet. If this kid misses me in the future, you can bring the child to see me."

Yixiu lowered her head slightly and said softly, "That being said, the royal family has strict rules, and I can't bring Honghui to disturb the emperor all the time!"

Kangxi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

He felt a little discouraged. It would be bad to ask Yixiu to move into the palace with Honghui!

But when he looked down at his grandson smiling sweetly at him, for some reason, Kangxi blurted out the words as if they had not been thought through.

"In that case, Liang Jiugong, go get my pass token and give it to the Fourth Lady. From now on, with this token, you can come to the palace to find me whenever you need anything!"

After saying this, Kangxi felt a little regretful, but a king should never joke.

Honghui seemed to have sensed Kangxi's mood and laughed even harder, rolling around in Kangxi's arms.

Kangxi had little experience in taking care of children, so he bent down and moved closer to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, Honghui kissed him on the face.

The child's mouth was soft and had a hint of milk fragrance. Just this one kiss almost made Kangxi lose his mind.

"Hey, look at this guy who is not shy! This kid..."

Yixiu did not expect that Kangxi would give her such a great reward, and that his son would be so supportive.

Seeing Yixiu in a daze, Liang Jiugong hurriedly reminded her, "Fourth Lady must be so happy that she's gone mad. Why don't you thank our Emperor quickly?"

Yixiu knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Father Emperor, for your reward!"

Gan Ziyun also kowtowed beside him.

Kangxi is in a good mood now and is willing to talk more.

He looked at Gan Ziyun and asked, "You are the Fourth Prince's concubine, Gan, right? He's quite a well-behaved child. I heard you manage the household effectively in the palace and often help the Fourth Prince take care of this boy. You're quite sensible!"

When Gan Ziyun heard Kangxi mention her, she hurriedly said, "These are all my duties. I dare not take any credit for them."

Kangxi nodded, satisfied with her performance, and ordered Liang Jiugong to reward Gan Ziyun with some silk.

Although no one lacks these things, this is a reward from Kangxi after all, which means that Kangxi recognizes her, which is a great honor.

Gan Ziyun knelt down again to thank Kangxi for his grace.

Yixiu was determined to make plans for Gan Ziyun, so she smiled and said, "Sister Gan is the most capable. Not only does she help me manage the palace, she also often takes care of Honghui. Honghui is also the closest to her."

After hearing this, Kangxi remembered that it was Gan Ziyun who was holding the child when he came in just now, and when Liang Jiugong went to hold the child, the worry in her eyes did not seem fake.

"You two are both sensible, and your wives and concubines are in harmony. The fourth brother is very lucky!"

.........

The Fourth Prince came back to see Wu Rihan. Seeing Wu Rihan's red eyes, he couldn't help asking, "What happened? Why are you crying for no reason? Who wronged you?"

Wu Rihan sniffed and forced a smile, saying, "What are you talking about? No one is angry with me, I am just blinded by the wind!"

She stood up and walked forward, personally straightened the Fourth Prince's clothes, then went to the table and poured him a cup of tea.

The Fourth Prince watched her busying around and couldn't help asking, "These are just trivial matters. What do you want your personal maid to do?"

Wu Rihan's expression froze for a moment, but he recovered immediately.

"It's the same for me to serve you!"

Even if the Fourth Prince was a fool, he should have realized what was going on.

He frowned slightly, took Wu Rihan's hand and asked, "What happened?"

Wu Rihan quickly shook his head, but the Fourth Prince kept asking questions. Finally, Wu Rihan couldn't help but tell the whole story while crying.

"I had good intentions, but I didn't expect Fu Jin to misunderstand me. Sister Gan even misunderstood me. It was all because of Zhuona's talkativeness. Sister Gan got angry and let Zhuona take thirty lashes!"

When Wujihan mentioned Yixiu, the Fourth Prince was a little skeptical. In the Fourth Prince's mind, Yixiu was his ally and was different from other women.

But when it came to Gan Ziyun, the Fourth Prince seemed to have found a topic to talk about.

"Concubine Jin usually has the worst temper. Why do you care about her? She manages the household affairs every day and is the strictest person. But today is your first day in the mansion, so I really shouldn't hit you in the face!"

Wujihan also noticed the Fourth Prince's protection of Yixiu.

She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she did not say bad things about Yixiu in front of the Fourth Prince, otherwise it would have backfired.

But I felt sad at the same time. I didn't expect that Yixiu meant so much to the Fourth Prince.

"Sister Gan is also abiding by the rules of the palace. It's Zhuona who is too bold. From now on, I will keep an eye on her and prevent her from offending Sister Gan again, so as to save His Majesty from getting into trouble!"
