Chapter 264: Not Looking Alike
Chapter 264: Not Looking Alike
At this time, there was some commotion outside. Everyone turned their heads and found that it was Liang Jiugong, who was beside the emperor, who came.
As the first person around Kangxi, even the prince was very polite to Eunuch Liang.
But today is the fourth son’s third birthday, why is he here?
Could it be that the Emperor has some will?
All the princes had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Sure enough, Liang Jiugong said:
"My dear brothers, please do as you please. I am here today only to convey His Majesty's oral instructions and give names to these three grandchildren."
Crown Prince Yinreng's eyes flickered slightly.
Giving a name to the new generation of imperial grandson was an honor that only his son Hongxi had.
Now the fourth child has a son too.
And three at once!
Liang Jiugong over there had already finished reading out the names, and as Luo Yao had expected, the first one was Honghui.
The second oldest is named Hongche and the third oldest is named Hongyi.
Yinzhen silently recited these three names and was very happy in his heart.
He was even happier when he saw the envious looks from other brothers!
It’s a good thing that they came, otherwise wouldn’t we be able to see them like this?
After Liang Jiugong finished speaking, he left without staying here for long.
As the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, if he showed closeness to the Fourth Prince, it would be a sign of the times in the eyes of others.
This is absolutely not possible. The emperor will be the first one to not allow it.
After Liang Jiugong left, Yinreng and others came forward one by one to add more water to the basins.
As they were princes, it was impossible for them to just add some water, or some auspicious fruits like longan and red dates.
But it’s real money that is put into it!
The prince was the first to step forward and took out a Guanyin pendant made entirely of glazed glass.
Then he took out another one.
Then take out another...
There's nothing we can do since there are three children.
If you only give one, who will take it?
Who is being embarrassed?
The prince's mouth twitched slightly, and he personally experienced the advantages of having many children.
The gift alone is enough to kill everyone else in seconds.
You have to know that the legitimate son is different from other children, so the gifts given to him naturally cannot be cheap.
The midwife was delighted to see this and uttered auspicious words one after another.
Next came the eldest prince, who also received three portions.
He was even more heartbroken than the crown prince because he didn't even have a legitimate son!
So these three gifts were completely wasted, and he only had daughters.
The third and fifth princes behind...
Even after Fourteen stepped forward and put three gold ingots as big as bricks in it, he felt a little pain in his heart.
This is the private money he has saved for a long time!
Because Concubine De was still angry, the gifts prepared for him were all old, cheap items.
Fourteen felt that he couldn't afford to lose face.
I found someone to exchange some things overnight and got these three large gold ingots.
'I want to have more sons in the future!'
He made up his mind secretly.
-
By the time all the filling had been completed, the three copper basins were full to the brim.
The midwife picked up the pestle and stirred the basin.
He was muttering some folk sayings.
"One stir, two stirs, three stirs, the elder brother leads the younger brother to run..."
Then comes the matter of bathing the baby.
They didn't even need to touch the cold water. As soon as they came out of the warm swaddling clothes, the three of them started crying loudly.
The voice was so loud that it amazed everyone as soon as it opened.
"Whoa-whoa-"
"Wow--!!!"
Each voice was louder than the other, which frightened Fourteen, who was just about to take a closer look.
"Fourth brother's children are truly extraordinary. Their cries are so clear and they are obviously in good health!"
Thirteen's face was full of admiration and envy.
The eighth prince Yinsi, who was standing next to him, agreed with him.
He really wanted to snatch these three legitimate sons away and put them into his wife's belly!
"It looks just like that, bright red."
Lao Jiu has always had a foul mouth. When he sees everyone praising him, he wants to say something sarcastic.
It's because he doesn't have a legitimate son.
But Yinzhen didn't care at all about what they were saying, his eyes were fixed on the midwife.
She felt like she was on edge, and her hands moved much faster.
In the normal process, the whole body should be washed when giving the baby a bath.
Run the cold water over your body.
At the same time, say auspicious words for wherever you touch, to wish for good luck.
But under Yinzhen's deathly gaze, the midwife was better than any other and washed the baby quickly!
It turns out that human potential is unlimited.
That thing is like a sponge, if you squeeze it you will always get something.
After washing, the baby was put back into the swaddle, and the ear-breaking crying finally stopped.
But everyone felt the lingering sound, as if the crying was still echoing in their ears.
A trio is indeed better than crying alone!
Now that they could finally see the children, Fourteen was the first to jump up.
"Come, come, let me hug you!"
He reached out to take it, but before he could get close he was stopped by a tall figure.
The Third Prince sneered.
"Old Fourteen, this is your fourth brother's darling, he won't let you hold it."
It was Yinzhen who stopped Fourteenth.
Even if he didn't feel sorry for his own son, Yinzhen would never let these unreliable brothers hug his son.
They are all pampered and have never held their own children. How can they have experience?
If he falls or gets hurt, he will feel like killing someone!
Seeing that his fourth brother was protecting the child as if he were his own eye, Fourteenth rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Well, if you don't want to hug me, then don't. I'll just get closer and take a look, okay?"
He wanted to be tough and say: If you don't allow me to hug you, then forget it. Who cares?
But I couldn't help myself and wanted to take a closer look.
When they were taking a bath just now, the facial features of these three little ones were squeezed together, and he couldn't see what they looked like clearly.
Only then did Yinzhen give up his seat.
"You can look at it, but you can't touch it!"
His tone was serious, and it seemed that he was talking to Fourteen, but in fact he was also warning the other brothers.
These rough guys don't know how to control their strength. What if they hurt his precious son?
It can be said that Yinzhen now has a fatherly heart shining like an old hen protecting her calves.
"Tsk!"
Fourteen made a dissatisfied sound, his lips pouted up to the sky.
But he still walked over obediently and looked down at the three little kids.
The rest of the people did the same, surrounding the three wet nurses and looking at the three children as if they were exhibits.
I looked at it for a long time.
Lao Jiu suddenly spoke up:
"Why do these little guys look... different?"
He didn't doubt that the child was not Yinzhen's.
But I think that children from the same mother should have some similarities, right?
Just like Yinzhen and Fourteenth Prince, they have some similarities in their eyes and eyebrows.
Lao Shi next to him also nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, this one looks like Fourth Brother, this one looks like Fourth Sister-in-law, and this one looks like..."
He pointed at the eldest brother Honghui, and looked at his slightly familiar face, feeling as if he had seen him somewhere before.
