Chapter 230 Hongxu Jiayu Jialan
Yinzhen rode a horse to the palace to announce the good news the day after the child was born. Kangxi was rarely sober, and on that rare day he was in good spirits, so he met him.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing such good news that he had three imperial grandchildren at once, Kangxi smiled for a rare moment. He couldn't help but sigh that this Fu Cha had really overcome all the difficulties along the way to get to where she is today, and was still standing and blessed.
Seeing that the emperor was happy, Yinzhen struck while the iron was hot and knelt down to ask for permission: "Fucha has been in the palace for ten years and has always served me well. She has now given birth to six sons and three daughters. Moreover, since Ulanara passed away, she has been taking care of the affairs of the palace without any mistakes. Therefore, I intend to make Fucha my legitimate wife, and I hope the emperor will approve it."
Kangxi did not say anything. The matter of promoting the concubine to the main wife was a serious matter. Although there was no precedent, the Manchus originally had a polygamous system. The concubine was also officially listed in the royal jade book, different from ordinary concubines.
But Fu Cha's status was noble enough. If she wanted to be the legitimate wife... Kangxi narrowed his eyes and felt a little dizzy. He did not answer him immediately, but said: "I know, you go back first, I will name the grandson later."
Although he did not get the answer he wanted, Yinzhen was not discouraged. He also expected that the emperor would not agree so easily. It didn't matter. As long as the cowpox issue was popularized, he would withdraw from it. This was all due to Fucha's credit. By then, with the support of the people, no matter who the concubine was, could block Changning's way.
After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen happily went to the Yonghe Palace to report the good news to Concubine De.
Hearing that she had one more grandson and two granddaughters, and that they were all healthy, Concubine De smiled from ear to ear: "Great, great, having many children and grandchildren is a blessing for the family. Fucha is a lucky woman, and she has brought up the children well. This time, I will reward them generously!"
Yinzhen bowed quickly to express his gratitude, feeling slightly touched.
It seems that my mother already knows that I want to make Yaoxian my principal wife. This is paving the way for herself. Having a third child is a happy event in the Qing Dynasty. Add to that the generous reward that Defei gave me that goes beyond the regulations. There is at least an 80% chance of this happening.
When Yinzhen returned to the Old Summer Palace again, he was accompanied by a lot of rewards.
There is also an imperial edict naming the three children.
The eighth prince was given the name Hongxu, the third princess was given the name Jiayu, and the fourth princess was given the name Jialan.
When the imperial edict was received, the children were all there, surrounding the three little ones to watch in wonder, especially Hutuli, who had younger brothers behind her. This was the first time she had younger sisters, and two of them!
In her opinion, her sister is better, sweet and soft, better than her stinky brother, and she doesn't even drool when she sleeps.
"Jiayu, Jialan, just like my Jiayuan! So nice." Hutuli called out the names of his two sisters, "You are Jiayu, you are so white, and you are Jialan, you are so small!"
Hong Zhao also vying to see the younger sister, he also wanted to have a younger sister!
His sister is too strong and always suppresses him with force. He also wants a soft and sweet sister who can smile sweetly and call her brother in a baby voice!
Although Hong Yan didn't say anything, his eyes were always glancing at his two younger sisters.
The poor little Hongxu was completely unaware and was just sleeping soundly. He was a careless person and even Yinzhen sighed.
Although Hongxu was the first born, he is also the most well-behaved and the easiest to take care of. He is not as lively and loud as Jiayu, nor as weak and crybaby as Jialan. He just eats and sleeps all day long, and you can't hear his voice for a long time.
Changning loved all three children very much and did not favor the eldest prince or the princess too much. In her eyes, with so many children, it was most important to treat them equally and not be partial to any one. Parents should pay attention to these things.
Therefore, she invested a lot of energy in every child she gave birth to, for the sake of not wanting them to feel that they were unloved and not cared for by their parents.
Yinzhen was very clear about it. He was a strict father to the grown-up princes, and a kind father to the princesses and the younger princes.
He also discussed with Changning the names of his two daughters.
"The name Yaertan was already planned a long time ago, but when Hutuli came, Yaertan came so late."
Chang Ning also laughed: "It's good this time, there are two, so who is called Yaertan?"
"Yaertan is an Emei flower, so let's call her the Third Princess. I think she is pretty and has two dimples at the corners of her mouth."
Chang Ning also nodded, immersed in the joy of being a mother, and couldn't get enough of looking at the child: "I feel that she is also a little kid who loves to laugh and make trouble. You can't tell now, but she is really cute when she laughs."
Then he asked: "What about the fourth princess?"
Yinzhen frowned: "Fourth Princess is a little thin. She is the only one among the three children that worries me. Let's name her Wu Naxi. She is a family heirloom. I hope she can be safe and healthy and pass on the blessings to the next generation."
After learning the nicknames of his two younger sisters, Hutuli changed from calling "Jiayu and Jialan" all day long to "Yaltan and Unashi".
Hongzhao simply called out "Third sister, fourth sister", which caused Hongmin and Hongchen to also call out "Third sister, fourth sister" every day.
Although these two sisters were born together, they are easy to tell apart. The one with dimples on the corners of her mouth is the third sister, Yaertan, and the thinner one is the fourth sister, Unashi.
When the three children were one month old, Changning was still in confinement after giving birth. However, this time the guests were unusually complete and the full-month banquet was held in an exceptionally grand and splendid manner.
After all, this is the first time that a family has had three children since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
The Third Prince was so envious that even the Fifth and Seventh Princes felt so sad that they hugged her for a long time.
Not to mention the wives and concubines, they surrounded Changning and showered her with flattering words, holding the three children and not wanting to let go, as everyone wanted to get a share of this blessing.
Someone from Fucha Mansion also came.
However, when Mrs. Socho Luo arrived and saw that her daughter looked a little exhausted, the usually impetuous and quick-tempered person, cursing everything, also had tears in her eyes. She turned around and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"Girl, how could you be so exhausted from giving birth to a child? Your father must be so distressed seeing this."
In fact, after a month of recuperation, Chang Ning's complexion has improved a lot. However, after all, she is pregnant with three children. She has no system, no elixirs, and no spiritual springs. She can only rely on her physical condition to recover slowly. Now it seems that she has recovered quickly.
She raised her hand, pulled her mother's sleeve, and said softly, "Mother, I'm hungry. I want to eat blood sausage. Please make it for me. I also want to eat the pickled cabbage dumplings you made yourself."
"I'll do it for you, I'll do it for you. You're an adult but still acting like a spoiled brat. You have no shame."
Although Suochao Luo insulted her verbally, her body was honest. She started making dumplings for her without saying a word and even mixed the flour with her own hands.
