Concubine De's unintentional words reminded Kangxi again of Dongfang Min's words, the true emperor...could he really be responsible for this child?
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and took a closer look at the child. The sky was full and the earth pavilion was round. He actually had a good face.
"Has the child been named yet?" Kangxi asked, stroking the child's thick hair.
Yinzhen was moved in his heart and said hurriedly: "I haven't given a name yet, but my son is brave enough to ask the emperor to give him a name."
Kangxi did not refuse. After asking about the child's birth date, he found that in terms of the five elements, this child had a rare destiny with all five elements. That is, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were all in the destiny. There was no need to supplement them with names. After careful consideration,
He said: "He is from the Hong generation, so let's call him Hongli."
After Yinzhen and Ling Ruo thanked the child one after another, Kangxi said again: "Haosheng raised him well. When the child is older, I will personally teach him to read and calligraphy."
Faced with this grace that no one else could ask for, Yinzhen was overjoyed and excitedly lowered his head and said: "It is a blessing that Hongli has cultivated for several generations. My son will thank the emperor for Hongli first."
Ama's grace." He looked up and saw Kangxi holding Hongli in his arms, and said: "The emperor is tired after holding him for so long, why not let his son carry him."
Kangxi glanced at Hongli lovingly and said disapprovingly: "How tired can it be if you hold her for such a long time? Besides, I am not of the seventh generation or eighty."
Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled slightly and said to Yinzhen: "When I came here just now, the emperor was talking about it all the way. How can he be willing to let it go now?"
Kangxi smiled, teased Hongli in his arms and said, "I thought I would have to wait until next month to see him, but I didn't know that this boy was so naughty that he ran out so quickly."
When Kangxi mentioned this, Concubine De suddenly remembered Hongli's premature birth and asked hurriedly: "When I entered the palace yesterday, I saw that you were fine and I didn't hear that you were feeling unwell. Why did you suddenly give birth prematurely?"
Hearing Concubine De's words, Ling Ruo felt a pain in her heart, but she had to pretend to be nonchalant and said softly: "Replying to Concubine De, it's all my fault for my own bad health. After leaving the palace yesterday, I was thinking about giving the emperor a gift.
I told my sister about the marriage, so I went back to Ling Mansion, but when I was leaving, I accidentally tripped and developed fetal gas, leading to premature birth."
"A healthy person must be careful about everything. Fortunately, nothing happened this time, otherwise I would have regretted it." After saying this, Concubine De took the brocade box that Yi'er had been holding and said with a smile: "You
The birth was in a hurry, and I came here in a hurry, so I didn’t have time to prepare anything. Only this longevity lock was prepared early. The rest will be slowly purchased after I return to the palace."
As the brocade box opened, Ling Ruo saw the longevity lock quietly placed inside. Surprisingly, this longevity lock was not made of common gold or silver, but was carved from pieces of white jade.
, interlocked with each other, and at the bottom is a lock in the shape of a lotus. The whole body is carved from mutton fat white jade, and the tentacles are warm. The lock hangs down from nine emeralds, each with nine beads. It uses tortoise shell as the falling foot, which is as long as
to the baby's navel.
"Thank you, Empress, for your generous gift." After receiving Concubine De's gift, Li Dequan also gave two handfuls of Ruyi, which were also treasures, at Kangxi's signal.
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Hongli seemed to feel a little tired. He opened his mouth and yawned and then closed his eyes. Even in his sleep, the little guy would open his mouth and show a sweet smile from time to time.
Kangxi couldn't bear to let go until his hands felt a little sore from holding him, and then he handed her over to the wet nurse to hold her.
Kangxi clapped his hands and stood up and said: "Okay, after being here for a while, I should go back to the palace. I will have more time to carry Hongli into the palace to accompany me."
Yinzhen agreed and then suddenly said: "Huang Ama, E Niang, and Niu Hulu have suffered a lot to give birth to this child. My son intends to make her a side blessing. Is it okay?"
The side Fujin Dynasty was different from the Shufu Jin Dynasty. His name was recorded in the clan's annals by the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and it required an imperial edict from the palace. Yinzhen had originally planned to go to the palace to request an edict within a few days, but now he saw that Kangxi was in a good mood, so
Ask for it in advance.
Ling Ruo didn't expect that Yinzhen would mention it at this time, but she was shocked. Before she could refuse, Kangxi said happily: "If you like it, of course you can. In a few days, I will issue an order to promote Niu Hulu as the surname."
Your side Fujin."
"Thank you so much, Emperor Ama!" Yinzhen kowtowed happily, and Ling Ruo also kowtowed in gratitude between the beds.
After seeing Kangxi and the others off, Yinzhen, who had been watching all night, also went back to rest. Ling Ruo was lying on the bed with his eyes closed to rest. Xiaoluzi walked in and whispered: "Master, Mrs. Ling and the second lady have been waiting outside and want to see you.
one side."
Ling Ruo opened her eyes, glanced at the engraved silver flower ball hanging on the tent, and said softly: "Let them come in."
Shortly after Xiaoluzi retreated, Fucha brought Yilan in and knelt down a few feet away from the bed, "My wife and my little daughter send their regards to Ling Fujin. May Ling Fujin be blessed."
Ling Ruo turned her head and glanced at the Fucha family and Yilan who were kneeling to her. She felt indescribably sad. She and her child almost died at the hands of her closest relatives. Although she hid it for Yilan.
It's a crime, but that doesn't mean I don't feel guilty.
Seeing Ling Ruo's silence, Fu Cha's heart became even more frightened, and he kowtowed and said, "It's all my fault that my wife's poor teaching has made Yilan do such a reckless thing. I beg Fujin to spare Yilan's life for the sake of my wife."
once."
"If I want to blame, I won't hide it for her before." Ling Ruo sighed softly and said, "Mother, get up first, Shuixiu, show Mrs. Ling her seat."
"Thank you Fujin." Mrs. Fucha secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After she got up, Yilan wanted to get up too, but Ling Ruo scolded her coldly: "I didn't ask you to get up!"
Yilan's heart trembled, her legs softened, and she knelt down with her legs halfway up. She didn't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience, but she didn't dare to look at Ling Ruo.
"Fu Jin..." Mrs. Fucha's expression tightened, and she wanted to plead for Yilan, but Lingruo had already shaken her head and said: "Mother, I promised you to let Yilan go and I will definitely do it, but now I
I still have a few words to ask her."
Hearing this, Mrs. Fucha felt relieved a little and sat down on the embroidered pier that Shui Xiu brought.
Ling Ruo glanced at Yilan with cold eyes, feeling endlessly disappointed in this sister, "Yilan, I will give you one last chance. Are you willing to marry Li Zhuanxiu?"
Yilan didn't answer immediately. She lowered her head and her eyes kept flickering. It was obvious that a fierce struggle was going on in her heart. After a long time, she said in a solemn voice: "What will happen to my sister if I don't want to?"
"It doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want. It's just that from now on you are no longer my sister, and I will no longer be merciful to you." Although Ling Ruo doesn't want sisters to kill each other, if she is really forced to that step,
Having just died once, she will never show mercy again.
