It was the morning of the second day after the lively full moon banquet.

Yinsi brought Sheng Huan to Yongshou Palace, and naturally, the three children followed behind him, held by their wet nurse.

"Greetings to the Eighth Master and the Concubine." Qiuyun, the first-class maid of Yongshou Palace, had been waiting outside the door long ago. When she saw them, her eyes lit up and she hurried forward, saying respectfully, "The Queen asked me to wait for you, Prince Beile, here."

Yinsi nodded, turned his eyes back to look at Sheng Huan, smiled at her, held her hand, and gave her enough sense of security.

"Let's go."

Sheng Huan also smiled and nodded.

"I, your son, pay my respects to you, mother. May you live long and well."

The two men entered the inner room and bowed.

"You are finally here, Youqing, right? Come forward and let mother see you." Concubine Liang showed great enthusiasm.

Sheng Huan was not stage-frightened either. She stood up and came over. Her eyes were gentle and she called her mother obediently. She continued, "My maiden name is Youqing."

"I have been wanting to meet you for a long time. Seeing is believing. You are indeed a symbol of beauty."

Sheng Huan pretended to be shy and lowered her eyes: "Mother, you are too kind. In my opinion, I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as you."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Liang. Concubine Liang was extremely beautiful, delicate and unconventional, very pleasing to the eyes. As she looked at her, there was amazement in her eyes, and then she seemed to realize that her behavior was inappropriate, and lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Oh, you're such a sweet talker." Seeing Sheng Huan, such a beautiful woman, looking at her with surprise, Concubine Liang giggled and her brows relaxed. The more she looked at Sheng Huan, the more satisfied she was.

She even took off the jade bracelet on her hand and gave it to Sheng Huan.

Sheng Huan was stunned: "Mother, this... this is not allowed..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Yinsi somewhat helplessly.

"Why are you looking at him? This is given to you by your mother, so just wear it. You are a great contributor, and you have fulfilled my wish of having a grandson."

Yinsi also nodded to Sheng Huan at this time. Seeing this, Sheng Huan stopped refusing and smiled softly at Concubine Liang, acting like a well-behaved junior that an elder likes the most: "Thank you, mother. I'd be disrespectful to refuse."

"That's right." Seeing that she accepted it, Concubine Liang became more satisfied and asked about her recovery.

Yinsi watched from the side and was somewhat surprised that his mother and Youqing got along so well that he even forgot to look at his grandchildren, but then he felt much more relieved.

After a while, seeing that it was getting late, he raised his hand to interrupt the harmonious atmosphere between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and said, "Mother, it is getting late. Youqing and the three children are now in your care. The Emperor has called me over today."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Liang held Sheng Huan's hand and patted it: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them. Go quickly. Don't keep your father waiting for too long."

"Yes, I will retire."

Upon hearing this, Yinsi knelt down and kowtowed. Before leaving, he glanced at Sheng Huan.

Sheng Huan happened to look over at this time. Seeing this, his eyebrows curved and he smiled like a flower.

Yinsi's brows also relaxed.

After Yinsi left, three wet nurses came over holding the children.

Concubine Liang reached out and held one. Looking at the baby whose face was so similar to her son and who was now so energetic, her eyes were filled with love and she couldn't help but reach out and tease him:

"Who is the eldest, and who is the second and third?"

"Mother, you are holding our great baby Hongxu."

Sheng Huan said as he took the sleeping baby from one of the wet nurses' arms and said, "This is our second baby, Hongyan. The wet nurse is holding our third baby, Shuhua."

Hearing this, Concubine Liang looked over one by one, a smile on her face, tears welling up in her eyes as she was relieved: "Very good! When you were assigned to the Eighth Master's Mansion, I knew you were a good person. His Majesty was right. Within a year of entering the mansion, I had three lovely grandchildren."

Concubine Liang didn't think that Erbao looked like the Fourth Prince at all. After all, she seldom saw the Fourth Prince, and she had a very ordinary impression of him, with his face even blurry. Therefore, she didn't show any surprise at Erbao.

Sheng Huan listened to Concubine Liang's words but did not respond, he just smiled.

"Ah!" Liang Fei was just saying this when Dabao in her arms suddenly stretched out his tender little hands and touched her clothes.

Concubine Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You naughty monkey, why are you still stretching out your hand?"

"Ah ah!" Dabao seemed not to understand. He shook his little hands and continued to laugh, with saliva flowing out of his mouth.

He seemed to notice it, his expression froze and his brows frowned.

Sheng Huan and Concubine Liang both found it funny. Sheng Huan even thought that Dabao was cunning, but he didn't show it on his face.

Concubine Liang took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Dabao's saliva.

"What an energetic kid."

"They are full of energy." Sheng Huan replied, lowered his head, and tapped the forehead of Erbao who had woken up in his arms without knowing when: "Our Erbao is awake too, did he hear mother and grandmother talking?"

Erbao blinked his cute big eyes and turned around. Hearing this, he glanced at Sheng Huan and seemed to be looking around at the unfamiliar environment.

After hearing Sheng Huan's words, he let out a few "yeahs" to save her face.

With the child here, Sheng Huan and Concubine Liang naturally had a lot of topics to talk about. They didn't know how long they chatted when they suddenly heard the sound of whipping from outside, followed by the unique voice of a eunuch singing.

"Long live the Lord is here."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Liang quickly stood up, and Sheng Huan followed suit. Then, they saw Kangxi, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walk in, followed by Yinsi, who was smiling gently.

"Long live the Lord and be blessed."

"Your Highness, your humble servant."

Kangxi nodded. Sheng Huan felt his eyes on her. Then, she heard Kangxi ask knowingly:

"Old Eight's?"

Sheng Huan replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am the concubine of the Eighth Prince, Niu Hulu."

"Well, get up."

Kangxi nodded and sat directly on the seat of honor.

Only then did Sheng Huan and Concubine Liang stand up. Concubine Liang walked forward and sat down next to Kangxi.

Yinsi also walked to Sheng Huan at this time and gave her a soothing and encouraging look, clearly indicating that she had been very polite and had not made any mistakes.

"These are the triplets, right? Bring them here for me to see."

Kangxi's purpose of coming here was very clear, which was to see the children. Triplets were such an auspicious sign that he was very happy in his heart, but he did not show any sign on his face.
