"He really looks like the fourth brother!"

Upon hearing this, all the princes looked at Erbao, surprised and amazed. Their eyes unconsciously looked back and followed the face of the Fourth Prince behind them.

For a moment, the Fourth Prince felt as if a thorn in his back was attached.

"Hahaha, it's true that nephews look like their uncles. There are so many uncles, why do you look like Fourth Brother? It would be great if you looked like your Thirteenth Uncle." The Thirteenth Prince looked at Erbao and liked him more and more. He couldn't help but make a comment.

Naturally, everyone present would not think that the child was the Fourth Prince. After all, the other two babies had the shadow of Yinsi. They just felt a little emotional.

"Fourth brother, come and take a look." The prince waved to the fourth prince.

The Fourth Prince's heart was in turmoil, and the ring in his hand was almost crushed. He tried his best to control himself, and seemed a little dazed when he heard the words. He took a step closer, and his heartbeat quickened with every step.

Then, when he got closer, his eyes finally fell on Erbao in the arms of the Tenth Prince. As soon as they fell, he met the child's tender and bright eyes.

As if he knew he was looking at him, Erbao suddenly curved his eyebrows and smiled at him, pure and innocent. That little face was actually 50% similar to him. I wonder what he will be like when he grows up.

When the Fourth Prince saw this, his heart beat violently and the back of his head seemed to be hit by a club, buzzing and making him dizzy. At this moment, he was absolutely sure that this was his child.

His face remained expressionless. Only when he approached did he show a hint of surprise and reached out to touch his little face. No one noticed that his fingertips were trembling.

He lowered his eyes to look at the child and said calmly, "You are really great."

He didn't think it was a coincidence that the child looked like him. After all, he and that person had actually had physical contact, and he didn't believe in coincidences.

As he said this, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yinsi. He did not avoid it, but was open and honest, as if he was just joking:

"Eighth brother, this child makes me want to take him home and raise him." He looked at the other two babies in swaddling clothes, and his heart softened for a moment. Even if Dabao looked like Yinsi, he didn't feel anything. "I wonder if Eighth brother can give up his love for him?"

Yinsi smiled upon hearing this, his eyes still gentle and without any aggression, but he did not give in at all: "That won't do. My brother's three children are triplets, so it's best to raise them together. If Fourth Brother wants a child, go back and have one with Fourth Sister-in-law."

The Fourth Prince heard this, but smiled and said nothing, as if he was just saying it casually.

His calm and confident demeanor did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

The Fourth Lady, who was not far behind the men, seemed a little embarrassed when she heard Yinsi's words, but her eyes glanced at the masters and fell on the cradle. She thought to herself, everyone said that the child looked like the prince, and she didn't know how much they thought so, which made her a little curious.

Triplets are very rare. Several grown men surrounded the children and teased them for a while. The triplets were very well behaved and did not cry or make a fuss. They did not behave strangely when they saw so many strange uncles and aunts. They even yawned lazily. They were so well-behaved and cute.

After the men had their fun, Sheng Huan and the wet nurse took the child and the other female relatives to the back.

The Fourth Prince inadvertently looked up and saw Sheng Huan smiling at the baby in the cradle, her bright eyes and eyebrows showing the warmth of a mother.

His eyes moved slightly, and he unconsciously rubbed the ring in his hand.

This child looks so much like him, looking at the woman's affectionate and caring actions.

He thought that this child would get what he didn't get...maternal love, which could be considered...

……

On Sheng Huan's side, at the back, several wives and concubines could not wait to surround the child.

"As expected, you gentlemen think that Erbao looks like our grandfather. This lady thinks they look alike."

The Fourth Lady held Erbao in her arms and teased him, she was very fond of him and there was some sadness in her eyes, as she was thinking of her son who passed away young.

The Crown Princess held Dabao in her arms, feeling very happy. She thought that she had been the Crown Princess for many years, but had only one daughter, while the concubine had a son.

She raised her eyes to look at Sheng Huan who was dressed in gorgeous clothes. She was also a concubine. Who could have thought that a beautiful girl who was not favored by so many people to enter the Eighth Prince's Mansion would eventually succeed in living well in the Eighth Prince's Mansion? Even the Eighth Prince broke her leg by her own doing and was bedridden all day long.

On the one hand, she felt that the Eighth Lady was not ambitious enough and brought shame to their wife, but on the other hand, she was really envious of Sheng Huan for giving birth to three children.

She admitted that she came here today not to save face for Sheng Huan, the concubine, but for the triplets. After all, the emperor also liked these three children.

"Sister-in-law Eighth, can you..." At this time, the Ninth Lady, who had just gotten married, approached Sheng Huan hesitantly and shyly.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Huan was a little confused.

The Ninth Lady was even more embarrassed. She was so shy that she finally said shyly, "I have been married to Prince Beile for several months."

Hearing this, the women looked towards her.

The Ninth Lady's hand on her belly froze, and she became even more nervous, but she managed to hold back her shyness and said her purpose: "Sister-in-law Eight, can you give me a few clothes that the three babies have used? I'll take them back..."

Everyone present already knew the purpose of the Ninth Lady. After all, they all knew the custom of asking the woman who had given birth for the child's old clothes, and using them under the pillow when sleeping at night, which would be beneficial for offspring. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Sheng Huan with eyes that suddenly glowed green. After all, this was also their purpose.

Sheng Huan nodded readily: "What's the big deal? Although the three babies are only one month old, they have a lot of clothes. I'll ask Chunxue to sort them out and bring them to you when you go back later."

"Thank you, Eighth Sister-in-law!" Ninth Lady could not hide her excitement.

"Ahem." The Crown Princess suddenly coughed, but her eyes turned to Sheng Huan: "Can I have that dress..."

Several other people also looked over.

Sheng Huan understood and nodded: "Bring them to all the wives later."

As for whether she could get pregnant, she didn't know.

"We all knew you were straightforward. I got some cloth the day before yesterday and will send it to you in a few days. You can also make a few more pieces for the children."

Everyone achieved their goal and started laughing and joking. Naturally, no one would take advantage of others. After all, the three children were still young and could not be exposed to the wind. After making a fuss for a while, Sheng Huan let the wet nurse carry them into the inner room first.

It was not until the banquet began that it was brought out.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

At this moment, Liang Jiugong came with the imperial edict.

"Eighth Prince and Concubine receive the order."

"Your Majesty/Your Son accepts your order."

Everyone knelt down.

Liang Jiugong opened the imperial edict and said loudly:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that my eighth son Yinsi has welcomed his third child, a gift from Heaven... The eldest son is given the name Hongxu, the second son is given the name Hongyan, and the youngest daughter is given the name Shuhua. Shuhua is the eldest daughter of the eighth son's mansion and is named Princess Shuhua. She is also given gold...jewels...I decree this!"

Everyone present looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that this newborn baby would become a princess just after one month old. According to her status, her mother was only a concubine, so even if she was given a title now, she should be given the title of a princess. But when they thought of the auspiciousness of triplets, everyone felt relieved.

As for why the two younger princes were not granted titles, everyone understood that princes were not princesses after all, so they were different.

Moreover, the prince in the Eighth Prince's Mansion might be the eldest prince.

"I bow to you and thank you for your kindness. Long live the emperor."

After bowing, Yinsi took the imperial edict and as soon as he stood up, his brothers surrounded him.

"Congratulations, Big Brother!"

"Eighth brother, congratulations!"

The Fourth Prince looked at Yinsi, who was surrounded and was in high spirits, and silently repeated the names of his three children in his heart. The more he repeated, the softer his heart became and the more unbearable the sadness became.

The same thing happened to Sheng Huan, who was also surrounded by women who came to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Concubine! The little princess is a beauty at first sight. She was born a princess, and now she has two little princes. She will enjoy a happy life in the future!"

Sheng Huan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, I will borrow your good words."

ps: Thanks to all the babies for contributing their children’s names!
