Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Moreover, unlike her expectation of giving birth in September, she drank the drug to induce labor when she was only eight months pregnant, and forcibly gave birth to her eldest prince.

Thinking of my eldest brother who was too weak to be raised, I thought of my own body.

She stared at Madam Hu with a vicious look, gnashing her teeth and saying, "Madam!"

"I will make sure that the child in Li's belly cannot be born!"

Madam Hu's face was also full of ferocity. She immediately responded, "Master, don't worry. I will avenge you and our eldest prince!"

"It just so happens that the Fourth Master has just returned, and that Li Gege is so bold as to want to take the eldest Gege back with her because of the child in her belly."

"Why don't we just do as Li Gege wishes?"

The Fourth Lady looked at Madam Hu with an unfriendly look, her eyes full of questioning and suspicion.

"Madam, do you mean for me to return the eldest princess to Li, so that she can have another bargaining chip?!"

Madam Hu explained, "Master, please listen to me as I explain."

"The master just gave birth to the eldest prince and is currently low on energy. I'm afraid she doesn't have much energy to devote to the eldest princess."

"In addition, since Li Gege was anxious about her daughter and often had miscarriages, they asked the eldest princess to stay with Li Gege for a while until Li Gege gave birth to the little prince safely."

"By then, Princess Li will be too busy taking care of the young prince to do anything else. Fu Jin will then bring Princess Da back."

"But I think the eldest princess is only two years old now, and it's the right time for her to learn to walk and be lively and active."

"If she accidentally bumped into Li Gege's belly, Da Gege is young and ignorant, and it happened right under Li Gege's nose. I think Li Gege would not blame her own child."

"Also, Master only allowed Li Gege to take Da Gege back temporarily because she was often in labor due to missing Da Gege. Out of her motherly love, Master agreed to her wishes. Her pregnancy problems are not Master's fault."

"It's hard to say. After this incident, Li Gege may have a grudge against Da Gege."

"Regardless of whether or not she will be listed in the imperial edict in the future, doesn't the eldest princess have to rely on her legitimate mother, the wife?"

"Then what's the point of it being included in the imperial edict?"

The Fourth Lady's eyes lit up.

"Then let Mammy handle this matter."

Madam Hu bowed and replied, "Master, rest assured. I will make your wish come true!"

It didn't take long for Wanyu to get the news from her second sister.

Li was knocked to the ground by the naughty eldest princess and gave birth prematurely with a seven-month-old belly.

On the second day of June, Li Gege gave birth to a little prince who was even thinner than the eldest prince.

It is said that the second prince weighed just over three pounds when he was born, and his nails were not even fully grown.

You can tell at first glance that it can't grow big.

Li cried bitterly in the backyard, but no one sympathized with her.

The Fourth Prince has returned home, Li has given birth, and the previous incident of the concubine's premature birth should also have come to a conclusion.

Since Concubine Mu was hit and gave birth prematurely, both Li Gege and Concubine Mu were responsible. They also gave birth to a sickly prince who was probably too weak to be raised, which made Fourth Prince Yinzhen quite dissatisfied with them.

In order to give an explanation to the concubine, the Guwalja clan, and the Crown Princess's second sister-in-law, Yinzhen directly took back the concubine's housekeeper rights.

He even beat to death Madam Hu, who had ordered Dujuan to deliver the reward to the concubine.

Li Gege was demoted from the status of a Gege to the lowest-ranking concubine.

Moreover, both the wife and the concubine Li were confined to their own courtyard and were not allowed to go out for a whole year.

It was both a punishment and a way to make them raise their children well in their own yard.

Seeing the two thin princes, Yinzhen felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, among the three premature children, there was a healthy second princess, which gave Yinzhen a little comfort.

Now, in the Fourth Prince's backyard, the one in charge of the household affairs is Concubine Mu, Guaerjia.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was July, and Hongxi was one year old.

This year's birthday banquet was still held in the Emperor's Qianqing Palace.

Wanyu and Yinreng watched their baby son grow up little by little from a crying baby to finally turning one year old.

The little guy has grown some small teeth and has grown a lot. He can occasionally utter a few words and take a few shaky steps.

Seeing the little one grow up makes the new parents feel very happy.

Although it is a hot July now, the Qianqing Palace has already prepared several ice jars, and the whole hall is filled with a cool atmosphere.

Today, Yinreng was the first to arrive at the Qianqing Palace with Fengsheng'e in his arms. Wanyu arrived at the Qianqing Palace with Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong and others.

This time, the first birthday banquet for Prince Hongxi in the Qianqing Palace was directly ordered by the Emperor to be hosted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After everyone arrived, the palace musicians played music, and the whole hall was filled with melodious music.

Kangxi was wearing a dragon robe and sitting at the top.

Yinreng was sitting next to him, holding in his arms the protagonist of today's full moon ceremony, the emperor's eldest grandson, Prince Hongxi.

As the eunuch sang, the auspicious time had arrived.

Yinreng held the little boy and placed him on the table in the middle of the hall.

At this time, the table was covered with a large red brocade, which was filled with all kinds of things, covering the entire table.

These things include pens, ink, paper, inkstones, gold, silver, jewelry, swords, bows, daggers, books, toys, etc., all of which have good meanings.

All the items for the one-year-old celebration that appeared on the table were checked over and over again by Wanyu herself.

The ancients attached great importance to these rituals, especially in the royal family.

And it seems that whatever he is holding represents the future life of this child.

So she didn't want to catch anything bad.

Especially the shiny and colorful items used by girls, such as jewelry, hairpins, rouge and powder, can easily attract the attention of little babies.

Once my son gets hold of these things, his life will probably be ruined.

So she would rather have more trouble and worry than let her son be harmed by others.

After Feng Sheng'e was placed on the table by his father, he looked around curiously.

Looking at the dense crowd around him, he looked at Ama in the crowd, and then began to look for someone familiar to him.

Especially the fragrant mother.

The little head looked around and finally saw the figure of the mother in the crowd.

He stretched out his little hand.

“Uh…uh….cold…uh…cold!”

Wanyu smiled and moved closer, then coaxed, "Fengsheng, pick something you like, okay?"

Fengsheng looked at his mother, then turned back to look at the things on the table where he was sitting.

Looking at the dazzling array of things in front of him, his little mouth opened into a grin, revealing a few small teeth that had not yet grown fully. As he lowered his head, his saliva dripped onto the small square scarf around his neck.

Under the encouraging gaze of his father and mother, the little guy stuck his butt out and prepared to scratch something on the table.

These days, Yinreng and Wanyu have been in Yuqing Palace, training Fengsheng's son in the one-year-old ceremony.

The item used in the training for the one-year-old ceremony was the jade pendant that Yinreng had given to Wanyu, representing her identity.

The meaning is good, but it does not violate the rules.

But just as the little guy was looking around for the jade pendant, Kangxi took off the dragon-shaped jade pendant from his waist and shook it in front of Feng Sheng'e.

"Hongxi, look at what Huang Mafa is holding in his hand?"

Hongxi looked at Huang Mafa eagerly, wanting to reach out and hook the jade pendant that was swinging back and forth in front of his eyes.

"Ah...Ah...Ma...Mafa!"

Kangxi laughed heartily and said, "Did you see what Mafa is holding? Do you like it?"

The dragon-shaped jade pendant exudes a warm and delicate luster under the sunlight, and the carving of a soaring dragon is lifelike, as if it is about to take off into the sky at the next moment.
