She had obviously given birth to a child, so why did she recover so well? She even looked prettier than when she first entered the palace.

"Mother, that lady is so pretty."

The hall was very quiet, except for the clear voice of a child sitting below that reached the ears of the people above.

Harigana looked over and saw that it was a little boy.

The woman covered her child's mouth in fear and knelt on the ground behind her man to apologize.

Harigana was the Imperial Noble Consort. If anyone talked about the Imperial Noble Consort in private, even if it was just saying that she was pretty, he would not escape punishment if the matter was investigated.

"Get up, don't be afraid!"

Seeing Harigana speaking so gently, the people kneeling below breathed a sigh of relief and immediately expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort!"

Zhang Ying, get up. Today is a family dinner. There's no need to be so restrained.

Harigana turned her head to glance at Kangxi to make sure she had heard the name correctly, then rolled her eyes.

Waving his hand: "Come! Come over here!"

The little boy might have been frightened by his mother's actions just now. When he saw Harigana waving at him, he felt a little timid for a moment.

The woman was also a little worried, but since the imperial concubine had called for help, she had no choice but to obey.

He whispered a few words in the little boy's ear. The boy turned his head and looked at the man next to him. After receiving an encouraging look, he followed the little eunuch forward.

He walked to the bottom of the platform and saluted the people in the upper seats in a proper manner. It was obvious that he was nervous, but he did not lose his manners.

Kangxi looked at Harigana in confusion, not knowing what she wanted to do.

"Li Dequan, bring the person up here so I can take a look."

Since Little Li was not with her, she could only whisper instructions to Li Dequan, who responded quickly and went down to bring people without even looking at Kangxi.

Li Dequan was the emperor's personal eunuch, but he actually obeyed the orders of a concubine. Their attitude towards Harigana's favor once again refreshed their understanding.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"

Before anyone came up, he turned his head and asked quietly.

"If a child praises me for being pretty, shouldn't I take a look at what he actually looks like and then give him a reward?"

Harigana's tone was very arrogant. Kangxi's mouth twitched, and he just let her go.

But he was a little unhappy. He had praised her countless times, so why didn't he get any reward?

He wanted to give the little boy a bad look, but he heard, "Don't scare the child."

Kangxi felt a pang in his heart. He couldn't even scare a minister's child now. Did Harigana still remember that he was an emperor?

But the other person had said something before, so he couldn't resist and could only fight against the food on the table.

"Don't be afraid. Was it me you just mentioned?"

Seeing the nervous look on the little boy's face, she picked up the pastry on the table, put it in his hand, and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"Your Majesty, I am talking about you."

After saying this, her little face turned red, which was very cute.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Tingyu, and my father is Zhang Ying." He turned around and pointed at the man standing in the audience.

Harigana was extremely happy, for this was Zhang Ying's son, Zhang Tingyu, a Han Chinese who, according to historical records, was entitled to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

I didn't expect that he would be so cute at this time. Not bad, not bad. If only he were a few years younger, he could grow up with her son.

But it’s not too late now. It would be nice to let the older ones take care of the younger ones in the future.

"how old are you?"

Kangxi felt uncomfortable. He had never experienced such a tone of voice before. How could someone be so gentle to the son of a minister?

Zhang Tingyu shyly replied, "Your Majesty, I am already six years old."

Only six? She thought he was seven or eight.

"So good!"

She felt a little uncomfortable. How could a little kid call himself a slave? Damn feudal society.

She turned her head and glanced at Kangxi. She wanted to glare at him, but it was not his fault alone, so she had to give up and look away.

"Li Dequan, I like this child very much and would like to reward him with a set of the Four Treasures of the Study."

Kangxi was surprised and looked at Zhang Tingyu carefully, but didn't see anything special.

However, Harigana had already given the reward, and if he didn't give it back, it would give people a reason to criticize him.

"Li Dequan, convey my oral order: Grand Secretary Zhang Ying, for his excellent parenting, is awarded a thousand taels of silver, and his wife is granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Consort."

Li Dequan was shocked and responded quickly.

I knew that the emperor doted on the empress, but I didn't expect that he would directly confer the title of first-rank lady just because someone praised her.

The people below were also shocked that such a good thing actually fell into the hands of a Han minister.

He glanced secretly at his own child, then at Zhang Tingyu, and didn't feel that there was any difference, except that he didn't praise the imperial concubine.

Zhang Ying and his wife quickly knelt on the ground to express their gratitude, their eyes unable to conceal their excitement.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the Emperor!"

Zhang Tingyu was brought back to Zhang Ying by Li Dequan. Just as he sat down, a young eunuch came over with a tray. The three of them knelt on the ground to express their gratitude: "Your servant thanks the Imperial Noble Consort. May your majesty live a thousand years."

The people of the upper three banners felt very contemptuous when they saw that Harigana actually liked a Han minister's child so much.

Harigana doesn't care what they think. Whoever laughs last is the winner.

Everything is still uncertain, so why show off your abilities now?

"Jiaojiao, are you happy?"

There was a hint of sourness in the voice, and she could tell.

"Happy, Xuanye is the best."

Harigana spoke softly, but Bumbutai saw her smile and the shape of her mouth.

Looking at the smiling woman, I always felt that she was provoking me and showing off in front of her.

Yinfu and Bayalige were carried up and stood on the left and right behind Harigana. The Empress Dowager, who was originally unhappy, looked at the two yellow quilts and her face couldn't help but look a little gloomy.

After all the ceremonies were over, Kangxi personally hung two longevity locks around their necks, which surprised everyone.

"My Lady, the little princess is awake."

Su Rina held Bayalige and showed it to Harigana. Just as she finished speaking, Yinfu woke up.

After a month, the two little guys have grown up, are fair and tender, and even look very similar.

"Are you hungry? Take it down and feed it."

Such a chubby little face, if I wasn’t afraid of getting my hands dirty, I really want to touch it.

At the beginning, Harigana had thought about breastfeeding herself, but she definitely couldn't feed two people by herself, and one of them would definitely not be full.

Moreover, Kangxi refused to allow it, saying that it was his territory, and even if he wanted to feed it, it could only be given to Beibei, and the baby was absolutely not allowed to do so.

She simply stopped feeding the baby and drank the medicine to stop her from producing milk.

"Yes! Concubine!"

Just as the two children were about to be taken away, they heard a commotion outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have been deceived, Your Majesty!"

(For the sake of writing the book, the ages of Zhang Ying and Zhang Tingyu were changed to younger ones. Please don’t criticize me.)
