Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Hearing Yinreng's concerned voice, Wanyu was sweating profusely and her eyes were filled with tears, but her brows were curved and her heart was happy.

She said to Nanny Sun somewhat weakly, "Go tell the Crown Prince about the situation. Don't let him worry."

After receiving the Crown Princess's signal, Nanny Sun walked to the door and replied from inside the room.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is doing well."

"The Crown Princess has given birth to a little prince for Your Highness. The midwife is cleaning the little prince now. Your Highness will be able to see him soon."

Yinreng outside the door clenched his fists with joy.

"I'm glad the Crown Princess is alright!"

"I have a son."

"Hahaha... Zhang Xi, I now have a legitimate son!"

The midwife gently cleaned the little prince, wrapped him in an apricot-yellow swaddling cloth, and then walked forward to show him to the Crown Princess and Lady Fucha.

Looking at the baby with a red face and wrinkled skin, Wanyu couldn't help but smile and shed tears.

Fucha immediately wiped away her tears.

"Silly child, you just gave birth to a child, you can't cry, otherwise you will easily get eye diseases in the future."

Wanyu choked with sobs and uttered "hmm", looking longingly at the baby in the midwife's arms, feeling she could never see enough.

But considering that Yinreng outside has been waiting for so long, he must be very worried.

She smiled and said to the midwife, "Take the little prince out for the Crown Prince to see."

The midwife smiled and knelt down, saying, "Yes."

Looking at her daughter's tired face, Fucha tucked the corner of the quilt for her.

"Don't worry about the kid."

"Mother and the Crown Prince are here."

"Giving birth is very stressful. Although your birth was quick, you've been through a near-death experience, so it's definitely going to hurt your body. Just rest for a while."

Wanyu also felt that her eyelids were so heavy that she could hardly lift them up. She was exhausted and tired, so she smiled sweetly at her mother.

"Ah."

"Mother, I'm going to sleep for a while."

Fucha patted her daughter gently and coaxed her to sleep.

"Sleep, sleep."

Soon I saw my daughter fell asleep.

The news that the Crown Princess had given birth to her eldest grandson soon reached Kangxi.

In particular, many people noticed the sky covered with fiery clouds, and everyone in the Qianqing Palace was full of speculations.

Kangxi had just returned from his second personal expedition against Galdan and was already in a good mood. Now, upon hearing the news that the Crown Princess had given birth to a child, he was even more delighted.

In addition, seeing the miraculous celestial phenomena made Kangxi, who was already happy, even more delighted!

Liang Jiugong immediately knelt on the ground and congratulated Kangxi.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, the Crown Prince has a successor. Your Highness no longer needs to worry about His Highness."

"Young Master was also born with a vision from heaven. He is a blessed man!"

The other eunuchs and palace maids in the Qianqing Palace also knelt down to congratulate the emperor.

"Congratulations, long live."

After hearing what Liang Jiugong said, Kangxi laughed out loud: "Hahaha! Good!"

"Everyone gets a reward today!"

"The Crown Princess is a very capable person. She gave me a wonderful grandson!"

"This child is indeed a blessed one. Not long after I returned from a victorious battle, he couldn't wait to see me, the Khan."

"And it's auspicious that this child is blessed!"

"Liang Jiugong, let's go! Let's go see my eldest grandson!"

Kangxi laughed heartily. He put down the memorial in his hand and decided to go to Yuqing Palace in person to see his eldest grandson.

After saying this, he took Liang Jiugong and strode towards the Prince's Yuqing Palace.

His steps were brisk, as if he had become much younger.

Kangxi left the Qianqing Palace and strode through the palace road into the gate of the Yuqing Palace.

When he walked to the back hall, he saw Baocheng standing in front of the west side hall, looking at an apricot-yellow swaddling cloth in the nanny's hands with a happy face.

Kangxi said, "Baocheng."

When everyone saw that it was the emperor coming, they all knelt down respectfully and paid their respects.

Yinreng grabbed the swaddling clothes from the midwife's hands and walked up to the emperor with an excited look on his face.

He brought the swaddling clothes in front of the emperor.

"Khan Ama, this is the eldest son born to my son by the Crown Princess."

"Look at him, isn't he handsome? Doesn't he look like your son?"

When Kangxi saw the adorable little grandson in the cradle, his little face was rosy and chubby, just like a ripe peach.

It exudes a pleasing freshness and vitality, making people want to touch it gently, but afraid of destroying its tenderness.

Although her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes were like two small fans, resting quietly on her eyelids.

The little hands are clenched into fists and placed next to the mouth, making him look very quiet and well-behaved.

His eyes were full of love, and his heart was slightly excited.

"This is my eldest grandson."

"The eldest daughter gave birth to four little princesses."

"I have waited for so many years, and finally I have a grandson."

Kangxi reached out his hand and gently and carefully stroked the face of his little grandson. His movements were so gentle as if he was touching a precious and fragile treasure in the world.

His hands were trembling slightly, which was rare, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Yeah, he looks a lot like Baocheng when he was a kid. You can tell they're father and son at first glance."

"This is my eldest grandson!"

"I just experienced a victory, and this kid came into this world. He is indeed born with blessings!"

My Great Qing Dynasty now has a successor.

Everyone around him felt Kangxi's joy, and the palace was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Hearing the emperor's words, the eunuchs and palace people around him felt the joy of "Long Live the Emperor" and knelt down to congratulate him.

The entire Yuqing Palace was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.

After seeing the emperor's grandson, Kangxi asked the midwife to take the child back to the delivery room to the Crown Princess and not let him see the outside world.

He took Yinreng back to the Qianqing Palace.

On the way back to the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi felt a little scared when he thought of his lovely grandson and his little face sleeping quietly.

He felt that he was somewhat unfair in dealing with the three concubines years ago and had wronged his grandson.

If the Crown Princess had really been angered by the Three Concubines and had had a miscarriage, wouldn't he have never been able to see such a lovely and blessed grandson?

After entering the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi first ordered Liang Jiugong to go to his private storehouse in person, pick out some good things, and personally deliver them to the Crown Princess as a reward for her giving birth to the eldest grandson.

Then he looked down at Haodaer.

"This kid is blessed. I'm going to give him a name on his third birthday."

Yinreng was delighted, but he suppressed his joy and asked expectantly.

"What name is Khan Ama going to give the eldest prince?"

Kang Mazi looked at his Ma Baoer.

"Back when your eldest sister-in-law was pregnant, I had already decided that your names would be derived from the characters 'Yin' and 'Shi'."

"Your future descendants, my grandchildren, will be named after 'Hong' and 'Ri'."

"But the moment I saw that boy today, I felt that he and I, the Khan, had a strong connection, so I thought of a better name."

Yinreng asked curiously, "Khan Ama, please tell me."

Kangxi blurted out, "How about naming the young prince Hongxi?"

Yinreng's spirits perked up, and he quickly asked, "I wonder which 'xi' character Khan Ama is referring to?"

Kangxi said directly: "My reign title."

Yinreng knelt down quickly.

"Khan Ama, this is absolutely not allowed."

"'Xi' is your reign title. How can a newborn child like you be worthy of this title?"

"And Khan Ama also said that the rule for naming grandchildren is to use characters from the characters 'Hong' and 'Ri'. How can the little prince use this name?"

(I recently discovered that some platforms don't display the name of the Tenth Prince, Yin? (é, second tone), but instead show a question mark. From now on, I'll type Yin? as Yin'e. Don't think I'm typing the Tenth Prince's name wrong, guys.)
