The next day, Rouze and Yinzhen came out of Yongkang Pavilion one after another.

"Master, after a night of tossing and turning like this, will Princess Rouze hate us even more?" Jianqiu asked, looking at Rouze's back.

"Even if I don't make trouble, she won't remember my kindness, so why should I pretend to be hypocritical?"

Yixiu looked at the new armor on her hands and said nonchalantly that she had been reborn, so who should care what her sister thought.

----------

That afternoon, a dark figure was led into Longjing Pavilion from the side door.

"Do you know why you couldn't get in despite all your efforts?" Rouze looked at Kang Luhai's confused face and chuckled, "It was because Mrs. Fu wanted to be frugal that I could only choose two people to serve you. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

Rouze continued, "But everyone in the mansion can see how much Prince Beile loves me. I am also the legitimate daughter of the Ulanara family. As long as the only support of the concubine in this mansion is gone, I can gradually replace her. By then, you will naturally not be left out."

Kang Luhai was sweating profusely.

He almost wanted to run away.

He just wanted to climb up the social ladder, but he never thought about losing his life!

How could Rouze tell that her chubby body could bear such a heavy responsibility?

"Of course. You don't have to agree. Then I can only tell Lord Beile in detail how you flattered Longjing Pavilion and betrayed Ruyi Garden. Let's see if he will sell you out in anger. It's normal for people to die in the process of selling you out."

Rouze still had a gentle smile on her face, but the words she said were enough to scare Kang Luhai to death.

----------

Preparations for Hongchang's full-moon banquet began several days in advance, and Yixiu also specially asked someone to decorate the mansion.

Now that Rouze and her son are unstoppable, Yixiu will naturally not make things difficult for them over trivial matters.

On the contrary, she will do her best to perfection, leaving no room for criticism, and others will only think that she is a magnanimous and capable lady.

Even if Rouze felt that playing the piano for her before was a loss of status, so what? Others didn't know.

Rouze wore a maroon wedding dress that day, and it looked just like the first time she came to the mansion.

This dress is similar to the one when Zhen Huan was named Concubine Wan in her previous life.

That time, Zhen Huan lost Yinzhen's heart.

Yixiu sincerely hopes that Rouze will do the same.

Normally, whether it was a concubine's son's full-month banquet or a princess's promotion to a higher rank, there shouldn't have been so many guests.

But Hongchang was the incarnation of Wenquxing, and Emperor Kangxi made an exception for Rouze and created a position of "concubine", so many people came.

Moreover, although Emperor Kangxi was far away in the frontier, he still did not forget to give rewards.

As soon as the full moon banquet began, eunuchs came over and read out the list of gifts bestowed by Emperor Kangxi.

Although the national treasury is not yet fully full, this reward is already much higher than that of other young imperial grandchildren, and is almost the same as that of Yinreng's son Hongxi.

Everyone knows that Emperor Kangxi’s most beloved grandson was Hongxi.

He has been with Emperor Kangxi since he was born.

Although this kind of reward was not unique, it was enough to prove Hongchang's status in Emperor Kangxi's heart.

Rouze didn't know in advance that the reward would be so much. When she heard the eunuch's words, although it was not some rare treasure, such a great honor was enough to make her smile from ear to ear.

In addition, today was the day when she was canonized as a concubine, so it was a double happiness and she was even more proud.

Yixiu and Honghui sat aside, and Rouze, who became the protagonist, started socializing with other female members without her even asking them to do so.

Lingyu was beside Yixiu, teasing Honghui, "Sister, how come Honghui is still so small after growing up for so long? When can he talk to us?"

When Yixiu heard this, her heart ached.

When Honghui died in his previous life, he would have cried out in pain to his mother.

He was so young, and he endured the pain and said to her, "Mom, don't cry."

Before he died, he longed for his father to come and see him.

But he died just like that.

His father was in Rouze's room and never came to see him.

What a cruel Yinzhen.

Her son is so pitiful.

"Sister? Sister?"

Ling Yu's voice brought her back to her senses.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to start over.

Yixiu gently stroked Honghui's face, "In three months, he will call me mother."

Lingyu's eyes sparkled.

"He can speak so soon? That means Hongxing will also be able to speak soon! I wonder what they will talk about when they sit together!"

After saying that, Ling Yu tapped Hong Xing's nose and said, "You, grow up quickly and chat with Hong Hui."

Yixiu: ...

After everyone over there had gathered to see Hongchang, the wet nurses brought the three princes together to take care of them.

As the hostess of the Beile Mansion, Yixiu could only be lazy for a while, as she still had to entertain the guests.

Although Ran Dong and the others were watching Hong Hui, Ling Yu was a concubine after all, and she could use her status to pressure others when she was with the child, so Yi Xiu said to Ling Yu: "You keep an eye on Hong Hui and Hong Xing, and don't let strangers get close to them."

Lingyu agreed readily and then lay down beside the little prince's bed.

She supported her head with her hands and chattered to the two little ones.

The oldest one, Honghui, is already trying hard to express himself, which is really funny.

Lingyu held his little hand, smiling happily.

Just then, a maid came over.

She was holding a sandalwood tray with prepared food on it. "Concubine, this is the food prepared by the kitchen for the nurse."

Ling Yu took a look and her eyes lit up, "There is soybean and pig's trotter soup in the kitchen today."

In order to increase their milk production, the wet nurses drink this soup every day. However, in the rooms of the masters, as the weather is getting warmer, they have reduced most of the greasy and meaty dishes and replaced them with other light dishes. Lingyu hasn't had this soup for a long time, and she was quite greedy when she saw it today.

She said something to Ran Dong and the others, then went out to find something to eat.

When the three wet nurses saw that the little princes were all asleep, they sat down and started eating.

Probably because today is Hongchang’s full-month banquet, the meals prepared by these wet nurses are more sumptuous than usual.

Hongchang's wet nurse now benefits from Hongchang and seems to look down on the other two wet nurses.

When she saw that the maid was going to give the largest portion of food to Honghui's nurse, she said, "I want that portion."

Honghui's wet nurse did not compete with her. Knowing that Hongchang was favored, she gave the food to her.

The four princes on the left and right would not let her lack a bite of food, and the portions they gave her were always huge.

After the wet nurse finished eating, Lingyu came back satisfied, and asked the maid to bring food back for Randong and the others.

Several people took turns to look after the three princes, and the days passed quickly.

Rouze, the concubine, stole the show at the banquet. After Yixiu entertained these people, she returned to the young prince.

She asked Ling Yu and Ran Dong, "Is there nothing going on here just now? No one came over."

Ran Dong nodded slightly, "Everything is fine."

Yixiu hugged Honghui with a smile on her face.
