Royal Palace

Li Dequan was waiting outside the Qianqing Palace. From a distance, he saw Zhao Ruisheng jogging towards him, although he was still following the rules. The smile on his face was so bright that it was even a little scorching.

Li Dequan had an idea. He heard that the concubine in the Eighth Prince's Mansion had gone into premature labor. Zhao Ruisheng was now smiling so hard that his teeth were showing, so he should be fine.

While he was thinking, Zhao Ruisheng came up to him and saluted, his voice a little high:

"Eunuch Li, I am here on the orders of our master, the Eighth Prince, to tell His Majesty the good news. The concubine has given birth! She gave birth to triplets, two little grandchildren and one little princess!"

"Mother and her four children are safe!"

"What...what?!" Li Dequan's brain froze. He thought he was dreaming and hadn't woken up yet, otherwise how could he hear such outrageous words.

Triplet babies?! He had never heard of or seen such a thing before. Moreover, they were born prematurely, but how could they be so lucky to be safe and sound?!

"Eunuch Li, what I said is true. Our master and the ninth and tenth masters were all in the mansion and saw it with their own eyes!" Zhao Ruisheng emphasized. The more he spoke, the happier he became. They now have two male heirs in the mansion, and Lord Beile will have successors in the future.

Li Dequan stared at Zhao Ruisheng, and seeing his flushed face and shining eyes, he was sure that he was not dreaming. He seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and then he could not hide his excitement, and immediately said:

"Eighth Prince is delighted! I will go in and report to His Majesty right away!"

He went in at a whirlwind. The eunuchs, palace maids and guards on duty outside couldn't help but look at Zhao Ruisheng. They were obviously interested and wanted to come forward to talk to him, but they were on duty and could only regret it in their hearts. However, the matter had already quickly passed through their minds.

When Li Dequan came in, Kangxi was reviewing memorials without even raising his head, while Liang Jiugong was serving him with pen and ink.

"Your Majesty is very happy!" Li Dequan stepped forward and said.

"Why are you so happy?" Kangxi had already noticed Li Dequan coming in, and now he looked up at him.

Li Dequan said quickly, "Your Majesty, Zhao Ruisheng from the Eighth Prince's Mansion came and said that the Eighth Concubine had gone into labor and gave birth to triplets!"

Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, and a rare excitement appeared on his majestic face: "Really?"

"Every word I said is true, Your Majesty, Zhao Ruisheng from the Eighth Prince's Mansion is still waiting outside."

"Let him in!"

Zhao Ruisheng was a little nervous when he was called in, but he had seen Kangxi before, so he knelt down and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, I have seen you."

Kangxi waved his hand, and this time his expression was calm, a little unpredictable: "The concubine gave birth to triplets? I heard that they were premature. Is it a problem?"

"Your Majesty, they are triplets, two little grandsons and one little princess. The female doctor and the imperial physician said that they are fine and in good health. The mother and four children are all safe!" Zhao Ruisheng suppressed his excitement and answered respectfully.

"Good, good, good!" Kangxi suddenly laughed out loud upon hearing this, and wrote a few words on the white paper beside him with a red brush: "As expected of you! This mansion of the Eighth Elder is really a place where if you don't make a name for yourself, you will be a sensation!"

This is a blessing from heaven. If he had not been so clear-headed and peaceful during his reign, how could heaven have given him three children, a dragon and a phoenix? This is another affirmation of his political achievements.

"It's all thanks to you, Your Majesty."

Liang Jiugong quickly flattered him.

Kangxi laughed heartily, feeling very pleased. He waved his hand and said, "Niuhulu has made great contributions, so I will give you a great reward! Liang Jiugong, go to the storehouse and pick up the things on the east side and send them over."

"Yes, long live the Lord!"

After giving the order, Kangxi's mind turned and he returned to the names of his three children. Such an auspicious sign must be given good names.

On that day, when Sheng Huan gave birth to three children and fell asleep, rewards from the palace flowed into the Yunqi Courtyard of the Eighth Prince's Mansion. In addition to rewards from Kangxi, there were also rewards from the Empress Dowager and the concubines of the various palaces.

The capital city instantly became lively. If there was a hot search list in the capital city, this matter would definitely be ranked first, and it would be extremely hot. No matter whether they were royal family or peddlers, they were all discussing this matter with envy and enthusiasm.

After all, inheritance of offspring is something that people take very seriously in this era.

……

Four Princes' Mansion, Yiyao Pavilion

"Snapped!"

"Why?! Why did she give birth to three children, but I'm not even pregnant!"

"That's not fair, that's not fair!"

When Niu Hulu Shitong learned that Sheng Huan next door had given birth to triplets and received rewards from everyone in the palace, she became so jealous and angry that she swept all the teacups on the table to the ground.

"Master, you, what are you doing?"

Xiangxun was shocked. It was the first time she saw Niu Hulu Shitong lose her temper. She didn't understand at all: "Master, she is your sister. Moreover, she lives in the Eighth Prince's Mansion. She has no conflicts of interest with you. Why are you so angry? It's a good thing for you that she is favored now."

"Not a good thing!"

Niu Hulu Shitong quickly retorted. She was very panicked at the moment. She felt that this shouldn't be the case. Sheng Huan entered the Eighth Prince's mansion, why was she still living so well? Not only did she become a concubine, but now she actually had a child. It was not a false pregnancy? ! And she was still standing still as a little princess.

"She and I left the palace on the same day and entered the palaces of the Fourth Beile and the Eighth Beile respectively, but now, I..." The more Niu Hulu Shitong thought about it, the more depressed he became.

"Master! You and that girl are sisters from the same father. Maybe if you work hard, you will be able to successfully conceive a child." Xiangxun said carefully: "Master, this is not the time to worry about these things. That girl's affairs have nothing to do with us. The prince has not been in the backyard recently. You have to think of a way to win the prince's heart."

Hearing this, Niu Hulu Shitong subconsciously touched her belly. She bit her lower lip tightly. Yes, she was pregnant. She kept repeating in her heart, she was Concubine Xi, Concubine Xi! Sheng Huan was useless to be proud now, and it was useless to give birth to several children. Sooner or later, she would be expelled from the clan, and they would all be commoners in the future. What was the point of being proud for a while? She had to capture the heart of Beile, give birth to a prince as soon as possible, and become the empress dowager in the future.

I don’t know why, but I always feel uneasy and my eyelids are twitching a lot.

……

In the palace, not only was Concubine Liang in Yongshou Palace happy, but Concubine De in Yonghe Palace also looked very happy.

Her joy left the palace servants around her puzzled. They simply thought that her mistress also envied this auspicious sign. However, Defei's personal maid knew some details.

"This Niu Hulu is a very fertile woman." Concubine De lightly lifted the lid of the teacup and said casually, "Mo Hua, when Xiu Nu lived in Chu Xiu Palace, you must have seen her. What do you think of her?"

Mo Hua nodded and said, "Beautiful and weak, with simple rules."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De smiled and said, "She is really different from her sister. She is opportunistic and seems to be restless. Fortunately, such a girl did not go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to cause trouble for others."

She said calmly, "It's a pity for the fourth brother." She looked at the newly stained nails and said nonchalantly, "The fourth brother will come to pay his respects tomorrow, right? I have to tell him about the original plan of that Niuhulu in his mansion."

When Mo Hua heard this, he knew in his heart that his master could not have good intentions and was trying to cause trouble for the Fourth Prince. However, he was already used to it and just stood there in silence, not trying to dissuade him.

After all, the Fourth Prince was raised by Empress Xiaoyi Ren, and he did not please his master after he came back. As slaves, they could not resist their master.
