In the summer of the 22nd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Lady Hesheli entered the palace with a sign.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, is here to see you."

Sheng Huan quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Mother, why are you being so polite? Please get up quickly."

"Etiquette cannot be abolished. How are you these days, Your Majesty?" Lady Hesheli smiled and went into the inner room with her.

"I am fine. My cousin treats me very well, and the palace maids serve me wholeheartedly."

Mrs. Hesheli looked at her and saw that her face was rosy, her eyes were clear, and she was smiling without a trace of gloom. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Who would have thought that the person who is living the best in the family now is the Jiaojiaoer in front of her.

Who wouldn't envy her now? The Emperor holds her in his heart and cherishes her. He even set up six harems for her. The selections in the past few years were only held to arrange marriages for the sons of the royal family.

Having a son and spoiling him, how many people envy him.

"Seeing you like this, mother is relieved. Have the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Princess slept together? I haven't seen them for a long time."

When talking about the twins, a boy and a girl, who were born this spring, Mrs. Hesheli smiled from ear to ear.

His daughter was very capable and had been pregnant with five children in the eleven years since she entered the palace. After the Emperor had his teeth reconstructed, except for the eldest prince, the remaining eight princes and seven princesses were all born from her belly.

Sheng Huan heard this and said, "They and Xiao Liu and Xiao Ba were taken to Ciren Palace by the Queen Mother to play. Judging from the weather, we may have to wait for a while. It is possible that the Queen Mother will keep the two little ones. But don't worry, mother. I have already told Xiao Ba that you will go to the palace today. He and Xiao Liu should be back early."

Xiaoliu and Xiaoba were the fourth child, born in the 18th year of Kangxi's reign. Because she pretended to have a difficult birth with the third child, Kangxi was frightened and it took five years before he dared to have the fourth child.

Upon hearing this, Madam Hesheli's depressed mood was swept away: "That's good, your sister-in-law is pregnant now, and I want to hug a few princes and princesses to share in the joy."

When mentioning his brother's wife, Xiao Hesheli, Sheng Huan's eyebrows twitched. Now that Xiao Hesheli is present, then Li Si'er should also appear in a few years.

After all, little Hesheli is the cousin of this body, and she is also a delicate beauty. It would be too horrible if she were cut into a human pig in the future. In order to avoid Longkodo's absurd behavior in the future, it is better not to let Longkodo and Li Si'er meet.

Sheng Huan felt that he should ask Puhua and the others to check where she was now. It would be better for both of them to be well.

It only took a moment for Sheng Huan to think so much. He patted Madam Hesheli's hand and said, "Mother, my family is the only one in power in the palace now, and there are many princes. Although my cousin has no other ideas now, you have to go back and remind Father all the time not to be arrogant and ruin the bright future of his grandchildren."

Madam Hesheli nodded repeatedly: "We all understand. Your Majesty treats us well, and we dare not overstep the boundaries."

"Empress Mother!"*2

At this moment, two childish voices came from outside. Sheng Huan looked up and saw two four-year-old babies running in.

"Empress Huang's mother!"

They threw themselves directly into Sheng Huan’s arms.

Sheng Huan's eyebrows softened: "I'm back. This is your Guo Luoma. Do you remember?"

The eighth little Yinsi and the sixth princess, Xiao Mingzhu, nestled in Sheng Huan's arms and secretly glanced at Lady Hesheli. Upon hearing what happened, they immediately stood up obediently.

"Remember, the last time Guo Luomama came, she gave Yinsi a small bracelet." Little baby Yinsi spoke.

"Yes, Xiao Mingzhu has it too!" The twin sister Xiaoliu was not to be outdone.

Sheng Huan chuckled and patted their shoulders: "Just remember it, call someone quickly."

"Hello, Guo Luomama."*2.

The childish voice, sweet as a baby, immediately melted Lady Hesheli's heart.

"Okay, okay, it's been a while since we last met. You've all grown up, and you've become more and more beautiful. Come, let Guo Luoma hug you."

Neither of them was shy, and they grew up in pampering. Knowing that the person in front of them was their mother's mother, they naturally felt very close to her and walked over to be hugged.

Everybody was laughing and joking together.

"Will the eldest princess and the others come over today?" After laughing, Lady Hesheli teased the little Yinsi in her arms.

"Xiao Yueliang and the others are older now, and my cousin has arranged some lessons for them, so we are very busy, but we will come over every day at noon."

"Mother knows that they are from the same mother. Xiaoyue and her cousin refuse to admit defeat and believe they are no worse than their brothers and sisters. A few years ago, they pestered their cousin to study with them. Now, they are also going to school with Baokang and the others."

Sheng Huan wholeheartedly supported the education of his daughters, and Kangxi naturally did not favor one over the other. After all, they were all his children. The princesses' brothers also strongly supported them, after all, they had a common mother to urge them to progress.

Naturally, they must be good at both civil and military affairs. Moreover, when they go to the grassland to marry, it will depend on whether they have the ability to take that place into their possession.

Her daughter is no ordinary person.

As for my son, he would not be bad if he was born in this era.

At this moment, several voices came from outside the house, and it sounded very lively:

"That arrow just now was really amazing! She is indeed worthy of being our eldest sister!"

"My brother admits defeat!"

"Second brother, tell me the truth. Did you miss the target with that arrow just now? Otherwise, how could we lose? You can't be a traitor! You are the crown prince, you must be fair!"

"What did you say, Lao Wu? Are you questioning the eldest sister?" Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded, and then Lao Wu was slapped on the head.

"Ouch!" The fifth child yelled and hid behind the crown prince Baokang: "Big sister, I didn't!" As he spoke, he began to grumble and complain: "Why don't you let your younger brother win? Your younger brother has never won once."

"Hmph, go down and practice by yourself." The eldest princess looked at her fifth brother who was hiding with disdain.

Prince Baokang smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, we still have to practice tomorrow, let's try to beat Big Sister tomorrow."

Several young men and women were full of vigor and laughter, and went straight into the inner hall.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager."

Eleven young men and women of similar age walked in and saluted gracefully, each with their own unique demeanor and natural dignity.

"Guoroma Maan."

"Oh, what a handsome boy and girl." Mrs. Hesheli smiled.

She thought that he was worthy of being a royal family. He was so extraordinary at such a young age.

When little Yinsi and little Mingzhu saw their brother and sister coming back, they ran over to greet them, chattering and calling them one by one. They didn't finish after a long time, but they didn't feel tired at all.

Sheng Huan looked at them, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously: "You must be tired. Mother asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite desserts for you. Sit down and take a rest first."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Empress Mother, you have to talk to the fifth sister and the others. Although the third brother made ice with saltpeter some time ago, they should be more restrained in using ice. It is not good for girls to use too much ice. They didn't listen to me and even wanted to beat me."

The Seventh Prince cried and held Sheng Huan's hand and acted coquettishly. A few days ago, the Third Brother made a two-wheeled ride. It was obviously made by several siblings together, so why was he the last one to try it?

These older brothers and sisters only know how to bully him, the youngest one. When the eighth and ninth children grow up, he will do the same. The Seventh Prince made a grand decision in his heart.

"Okay, the Empress Dowager has heard about it. I will help you talk to them later."

Everyone was chatting and eating desserts, and when the time came, Lady Hesheli left the palace.

"Oh, it's so lively here. How come no one comes to call me when I'm here with your Empress Dowager? I'm left alone in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Do you know how sad I am?"

“Emperor Father!”*13.

Thirteen children came over immediately to pay their respects.

"Don't be sad, Father Emperor. We will go to the Qianqing Palace to accompany you next time." Little Mingzhu grabbed Kangxi's hand and comforted him in a baby voice.

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, and suddenly he picked her up and threw her up.

"what!!"

Little Mingzhu screamed excitedly and was still reluctant to leave after landing.

Sheng Huan was laughing so hard that he could hardly straighten his back.

Seeing this, Kangxi strode up to her and pulled her towards the table. His big hands skillfully kneaded her lower back. The two of them were very close to each other. Kangxi whispered in her ear: "How is it? Is it still sore?"

Sheng Huan gave him a glare: "Cousin, what else did you say? You knew I was going to see my mother today, but you still did that..."

Kangxi listened, lowered his eyebrows and tried to comfort him. After a while, he tilted his head and said loudly:

"Liang Jiugong, serve the meal."

Before lunch was served, the whole family was already sitting at the table waiting. Everyone was busy, talking about studies or interesting things. Kangxi would test them from time to time.

Sheng Huan just rested his chin on his hand and watched, looking very comfortable.
