In Jingren Palace, Kangxi discussed with Tong Jia who would raise Concubine Yi's little prince.

Kangxi saw that Tong Jia's face was indifferent and not at all enthusiastic, so he smiled and said, "Didn't you always want to raise a prince? Why do you seem to have no hope now?"

Tong Jia pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "I probably don't have the fate to raise other people's children! If God favors me, I should have my own children."

Kangxi sighed, held her hand and said, "Relax, you will definitely have a child."

Tong Jia lowered her eyes and said nothing. Will it happen? Will the emperor really give me a child?

Since Tong Jia was unwilling to raise Yipin's little prince, Kangxi decided to let the Empress Dowager raise him because he saw that the Empress Dowager had no children.

The Queen Mother was very envious when she saw that the Grand Queen Mother had a child, and had long wanted to raise one herself.

When Kangxi asked her to raise the little prince, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, and praised the emperor for his filial piety in Mongolian over and over again.

That's good now. The Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are surrounded by great-grandchildren and grandchildren who are filial to them. It's perfect.

After the New Year, Concubine Yi came out to visit relatives after she had finished her confinement.

I actually came to Yonghe Palace.

Shen Jiang was puzzled: "What is she doing here? We don't seem to have much in common!"

Since guests are coming, Shen Jiang asked Grape to prepare tea and snacks, and invited Concubine Yi in to entertain the guests in the warm room.

After all, Concubine Yi had just given birth, and her figure had not yet recovered, with some fat on her face and waist.

"Sister Yipin, please sit down." Shen Jiang smiled politely.

Yipin looked around and saw a huanghuali wood desk on the west side of the room, with writing brushes, inkstones, and a large cloisonné urn on one side, in which were various scrolls.

There were famous landscape paintings and inscriptions hanging on the wall, which could be seen as rewards given to her by the emperor from the treasury.

Yipin curled her lips and said, "I have always heard that sister Depin is kind and elegant. After seeing her today, I can see that the smell of books in this room is indeed extraordinary."

Shen Jiang smiled: "Sister Yipin is joking. Sister Yipin, have some tea."

Concubine Yi drank a sip of tea, ate a piece of dessert, and praised it for being delicious.

Shen Jiang kept smiling: "Sister Yipin, thank you for the compliment."

Concubine Yi looked at her. She was pregnant and her belly was already very big, but her face was still so small and her limbs were still so slender. It was really enviable.

Yipin reached out and touched her belly, saying, "Is the baby coming soon?"

"Yes, soon."

"Look at this pointed belly, I'm afraid it's another prince."

"Thank you for your good words, Sister Yipin."

Concubine Yi waved her hand, feeling that it was a bit boring to talk to this person, so she said, "You don't have to be so polite to me. It's fate that we can serve the master together."

Shen Jiang: What a bullshit fate!

Seeing that she smiled but said nothing, Concubine Yi sighed and said, "I thought the queen could raise the child herself! I didn't expect that the emperor still wouldn't allow it, and the child was given to the queen mother. If your baby is another prince, I'm afraid that person in Jingren Palace will intervene again."

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "I am of a low birth, so the child can be raised by whoever the emperor wants."

Yipin looked at her and said, "Don't you miss your child? Ever since my little prince was taken away, I couldn't sleep for nights."

Shen Jiang lowered his eyes and murmured, "The Empress Dowager has done her best for the Fourth Prince, and I am very grateful."

Concubine Yi was choked for a moment, and felt that Concubine De was a person who was very careful with her words, so there was no need to make close friends with her.

Concubine Yi changed the subject, talked about something else, and then left.

After leaving Yonghe Palace, she let out a sigh of relief and complained to her maid: "This Depin is so stubborn! I don't know if she really doesn't understand or is she pretending not to understand?"

Her personal maid said, "Master, don't get angry with yourself. When the man from Jingren Palace takes her child away, she can just cry by herself!"

Yipin snorted coldly, "Humph, who knows? Maybe she's just hoping the child will be adopted! The Empress Dowager will raise the child herself! The Imperial Concubine will raise the child herself. How nice it will sound when others say it! When the child grows up and doesn't like her, go ahead and cry!"

"that is!"

Concubine Yi and her servant were only concerned with talking happily, and had no idea that the system transmitted every word of theirs to Shen Jiang.

Shen Jiang felt that there was something wrong with Concubine Yi and suspected that she was suffering from anxiety because her child was taken away.

"What's the point of her telling me all this? Why doesn't she talk to Lao Kang? Really!" Shen Jiang looked at the snacks laid out on the table, picked one up and took a big bite.

The system seemed to particularly enjoy watching this kind of drama. It laughed and said, "When your baby is born, Old Kang will allow you to raise him by yourself. Then you can see her expression. It will definitely be very interesting. Hahahaha!"

Shen Jiang was annoyed: "You really just want to watch the fun!"

The system complained: "What excitement is there to watch? There are two missions, and not even one poisoning or assassination."

Shen Jiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Where can we get poison from if we never leave the house? If the poison really got into the palace, wouldn't Old Kang be worried about his own safety? Not to mention the people who handled it, have you ever thought about how many people would die, from the gatekeepers to the nine clans of the six palaces in the east and west?"

Every palace has a daily recorder, especially for pregnant women like Shen Jiang. Not only what they eat every day, but even how many times they fart is recorded.

Do you still allow yourself to sneak around with people? Bribe off the imperial physician? Conspire to kill someone? Fake pregnancy to win favor?

What do you regard the imperial power as?

Shen Jiang gave the system a lecture and continued to stay in Yonghe Palace. On the fifth day of February, she gave birth to the sixth prince.

Shen Jiang fell asleep after giving birth to the child. When she opened her eyes, she saw a big-headed baby in front of her.

Emma, ​​how long has she slept? How come Sixth Prince has grown so big all of a sudden!

"Enie," the big-headed doll called her and touched her face with his hand.

It turned out to be the Fourth Prince!

Shen Jiang smiled and held the Fourth Prince in her arms. The wet nurse told her, "My Prince heard that Master De had given birth to a younger brother, so he had to come to see you. He was worried about you! Mother and son are truly connected."

Shen Jiang rubbed the Fourth Prince's face with the tip of her nose and asked with a smile, "How long have you been here? Are you hungry? Are you cold?"

The Fourth Prince shook his head, struggled out of her arms, walked to the rickshaw, and looked at his sleeping brother.

Shen Jiang leaned against the bed, looked at the Fourth Prince and said with a smile: "Enie wants to eat three-fresh wontons, can you accompany Enie to eat some?"

The Fourth Prince thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Soon, two bowls of three-fresh wontons were served. The Sixth Prince might have smelled the fragrance and started crying loudly.

The wet nurse hurriedly carried the Sixth Prince to feed him. After the Sixth Prince was full and burped, the nurse put the child back into the stroller.

The Fourth Prince walked over to the chariot, touched the Sixth Prince's face, and said, "Be good."

What he actually wanted to say was: Don’t cry, sixth brother. When you grow up, you can eat three-fresh wontons with us.

But he is less than two years old now. If he speaks so many words at once, people will think he is a monster!

He thought he had hidden it well, but the Empress Dowager, with whom he lived day and night, had already discovered his difference.

"The Fourth Prince seems to be different from other children." The Empress Dowager and Emperor Kangxi said in the Cining Palace. "I thought he was just a little older than other children, but when I was reading the scriptures that day... my old eyes were blurry and I didn't know where I was reading, but the Fourth Prince was able to find the words I wanted to read accurately. I only read this scripture twice in front of him."

Kangxi's face was solemn, and he said, "Ma Ma, what you mean is that the Fourth Prince is born smart and unique?"
