Yi Xin didn't care about Yinzhen's checks and balances on her, but checks and balances were one thing and she still wanted her position.

Now Hongzhao is three years old, and Hongxing, Hongchen and Hongyao are two years old.

It was time for her to have another baby.

This time she was going to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl. She didn't believe that Yinzhen would not promote her with such a good omen.

No one seemed surprised that Yi Xin was so fertile.

I think she has the physique that is rumored to be easy to get pregnant.

Yi Xin was not the only one who was pregnant this time. Concubine Xu from Jingyang Palace and Lady Jiang from Zhongcui Palace were also pregnant. This was of course the result of Yi Xin's drugging.

There were suddenly three more pregnant women in the palace, which brought a lot of joy.

After ten months of pregnancy, Yi Xin gave birth to the tenth prince Hong Sheng and the fourth princess Ming Xi.

Yinzhen hugged Mingxi and smiled with wrinkles on his face. Yi Xin almost wanted to turn her head away, but she still pretended to be weak and forced a smile.

"Your Majesty, now all the six names you gave Hong Zhao when I gave birth to him will be used."

"Yes, when you said you wanted to keep giving birth and use all the names, I just thought it was a joke. I didn't expect you, Yi Xin, to be so lucky and actually gave birth to six children for me."

"It can be seen that the emperor is very wise. If the emperor had given ten or eight names, I would definitely be able to continue giving birth. Unfortunately, the imperial physician Zeng said that giving birth to multiple babies in a row has damaged my foundation, and I am afraid I will not be able to have any more children in the future."

The more Yi Xin spoke, the more frustrated she seemed.

Because Yi Xin instructed Zeng Youming to tell Yinzhen that she couldn't have children, and also to say that she was having bleeding and could no longer serve him in the emperor's bed.

He also said that she had injured her body this time and needed to take good care of herself, otherwise it would shorten her lifespan.

Yi Xin didn't like that Yinzhen was on guard against her while at the same time trying to have sex with her.

And if he is capable, then Yi Xin can just treat him as a bed partner.

But now he is not so good, maybe because he is too old.

How could Yi Xin not be annoyed by this?

So in order to no longer have to deal with him, I simply stopped sleeping with him.

Yinzhen was actually a little afraid to favor Yi Xin because she was so fertile.

He now has eight sons, five of whom were born to Yi Xin.

He was also afraid that if he continued to favor Yi Xin, she would continue to give birth.

But if he didn't favor her, people would think she had fallen out of favor. When he was struggling with this, he heard Zeng Youming say that Yi Xin was not in good health and could not sleep with him.

For Yinzhen, this was simply great news.

From now on, he doesn't have to stay overnight in Yongshou Palace. He just needs to have meals with her often.

Little did he know that Yi Xin was hoping he wouldn't stay overnight.

Yinzhen comforted her a lot and finally announced that he would make her an imperial concubine after she finished her confinement.

As usual, Yi Xin proposed the suggestion of conferring titles on the six palaces.

Yinzhen just happened to have the same idea, so he agreed.

The two concubines who had sons, Concubine Qi and Concubine Yu, were made noble concubines, and Concubine Jing enjoyed the share of a noble concubine.

Concubine Xin and Concubine Yue were promoted to concubines.

Concubine Xu, who was about to give birth, was promoted to concubine and given the title Zhen, becoming the head lady of Jingyang Palace.

Rong Guiren Guaerjia was also promoted to concubine. She did not move to another palace, but chose to stay in the side hall of Changchun Palace. Because there was no vacant main seat in the twelve palaces in the east and west (Jingren Palace and Yikun Palace were sealed palaces), if she wanted to move, she could only go to Suiyuxuan, Yanqing Palace or other remote small palaces. She didn't want to go to any of them, so she was willing to stay.

Concubine Rou was once again arranged by the Empress Dowager and was given the opportunity to be promoted to a concubine. She is now the head of Yonghe Palace.

In addition to the two of them, there is also a concubine from Mongolia.

Shun Chang was promoted to Shun Guiren in the Irgen Jueluo clan.

Wan Chang was a noble lady in Huanbi Jinwan.

Shi Da Ying and the pregnant Jiang Da Ying were promoted to Changzai and given the titles Kang and Min respectively.

Not long after, Zhenpin gave birth to the fifth princess Yunhe, and Minchang gave birth to the eleventh prince Hongchang. They were promoted to noble ladies by Yinzhen and allowed to raise Hongchang alone.

Normally, children born to concubines below the queen should be handed over to the queen to raise.

But Concubine He was the successor to Concubine Min, and Yinzhen did not want the Mongolian concubine to control the prince, nor did he want Concubine Min to move to the palace which would be so obvious, so he could only order her to raise the child herself.

During the period when Yi Xin was recuperating, she would often summon Zeng Youming and Wen Shichu, and occasionally summon Kang Ning for the children's health.

He looked sick so that Yinzhen would be at ease.

Yi Xin also bought smart voice surveillance and installed the first surveillance camera in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. She also installed another one in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When she was bored, she could watch how Yinzhen attended the morning court and understand the movements of the previous dynasty. Although the empress dowager was paralyzed, Yi Xin was afraid of any accidents, so she also placed one in the Shoukang Palace. She also placed one at the gate of the Yongshou Palace. Yinzhen had a hobby of eavesdropping, and she was afraid that she would accidentally expose her true nature, so she had to install one to feel at ease.

In this year, the fourth prince Hongli and the fifth prince Hongzhou were both 17 years old, and Yinzhen appointed Tong Jia and Wu Zhaku as their respective legitimate wives.

At the same time, Hongli also asked for an imperial decree, asking Yinzhen to give Ulanara Qingying to him as a concubine, and Yinzhen gladly agreed.

This time, Yi Xin went to ask Yinzhen for help in the marriage of her cousin Fu Cha Langya, and he gave her to Yunxi as his wife.

Yunxi was a younger brother who was still studying in the Shangshufang. His biological mother was a Han Chinese with no family background. Yinzhen only loved him, so he did not fear him even though his wife's family was of noble status.

After Yunxi, Hongli and Hongzhou, the three uncle and nephew, got married one after another, Yinzhen generously conferred the title of Duroberel on them, together with Hongshi who got married two years ago, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to start selecting a site outside the palace for them to build a mansion.

However, only Yunxi was given the title, which was Shen Beile.

The three of them were called the Third Beile, the Fourth Beile, and the Fifth Beile respectively.

It is not an easy task to select a site and build the Imperial Household Department. Anyway, they will not be able to leave the palace for at least two or three years, so they will all live in the palace for the time being.

After Yunxi got married, he was arranged by Yinzhen to work in the Ministry of Revenue, where he served as a fifth-rank official and learned about the ministry's affairs from the ministers.

As for Yinzhen's own three princes, he did not allow any of them to enter the court.

There is no need to talk about Hongshi. He has been as stupid as ever for ten years. There is really no need to send him to the court to be disgraced.

Over the past year or so, Yinzhen has also seen through the personalities of Hongli and Hongzhou.

Let’s talk about Hong Zhou first. He was in poor health when he was young, so Concubine Yu doted on him especially and treated him like a child. All he wanted to do all day was play, and he would feel sleepy when he read. Not to mention inheriting the throne in the future, Yinzhen felt that he had to be prepared to support this son for the rest of his life.

Hongli was smart and worked hard, but there was one thing about him: he was too scheming. What made him most unbearable was that he was eyeing his throne.

Hongli was also very bold. He dared to plot against Hongshi soon after entering the palace.

If Fangcao had not "just happened" to hear Hongli telling Hongshi how pitiful the eighth and ninth brothers were, and hoped that Hongshi would persuade her to plead for the eighth and ninth brothers, Hongshi would have almost been adopted by him to the eighth brother.

If he really adopted Hongshi away, then when Hongshi was gone, Hongli would be his eldest son. With his cruel means, it would only be a matter of time for him to get rid of the other princes.

Then wouldn't the throne be in his pocket?

Yinzhen suppressed his anger and waited for them to get married. Then, three months after Hongli got married, he ordered to remove his yellow belt and adopt him to Aqinna as his son (Aqinna means dog in Manchu, which was the name Yongzheng gave him).

Yi Xin thought that maybe this was fate.

After Qianlong ascended the throne, he rejected the crimes that Yongzheng had charged the Eighth Prince with, restored his original name Yinsi, restored him to the royal family, and put him back on the Jade Butterfly throne.

He slapped his father in the face as soon as he came to power, he deserved to be adopted.

Soon afterwards, Yinzhen's confidant E Min and others began to impeach Longkodo in accordance with Yinzhen's wishes, listed forty-one major crimes for him, and ordered him to be imprisoned forever.

The Tong family was confiscated, but their eldest son Yue Xing'a retained his position and continued to fight on the battlefield in Junggar.

The second son, Yuzhu, was exiled to Ningguta.

Yuzhu's biological mother was the vicious concubine Li Si'er, who murdered Longkodo's legitimate wife, Hesheli, chopped off her limbs and turned her into a human pig, leaving her to die in humiliation.

Therefore, Yue Xing'a actually hated Longkodo and Li Si'er, and he fully agreed with Yinzhen's will.

Li Si'er also had a daughter, who is now Hongli's wife, Tong Jia. The fact that Yinzhen gave him this marriage shows how much he disliked his son.
