The Fourth Master's Dog

Imperial Concubine Tong happily looked at the little prince whom she had given birth to with great effort, ignoring the pain in her body.

She was in unbearable pain, but as long as she saw the tiny little person she gave birth to, Imperial Noble Concubine Tong forgot everything. She could give everything for this little person.

"Mammy, look, my little prince is so cute."

The wet nurse's eyes were full of heartache. Looking at Imperial Concubine Tong's pale face with beads of sweat on it, she was reluctant to let go of the little prince in her arms.

Full of smiles, he quickly went up and carefully picked up the little prince.

"My queen, my little prince must be hungry too. You need to take him down to the nurse to feed him. My queen should also eat something so that you can have strength."

Under the reluctant gaze of Imperial Concubine Tong, the little prince was carried by his wet nurse to another room next door.

Imperial Concubine Tong looked at the bowl of black medicine that was brought to her, her slender and small brows were tightly furrowed in resistance.

"Mammy, I don't want to drink. I have no appetite."

The wet nurse, looking at Imperial Noble Consort Tong who was throwing a tantrum and turning her head to the other side, did not show her tolerance as usual. Instead, she frowned seriously and spoke in an irresistible tone.

"My queen, you are not alone now. The little prince has just been born and cannot leave you. Your body cannot be damaged."

The wet nurse looked at Imperial Concubine Tong, who was still unhappy, and softened her tone.

"Now is not like when you were sick before. You don't have to take medicine if you don't want to. The imperial physician said that your body is not fully recovered yet, so it's best not to see the young prince."

"Although the newborn baby is full-term, the mother had a difficult birth and the baby stayed in her body for too long. His physique is not as strong as a full-term baby, so he needs to be carefully taken care of."

When Imperial Concubine Tong heard this, she looked as if her lifeblood was pinched, and her face looked a little dejected.

"I'll just drink it, don't try to scare me with those things."

When the wet nurse discovered that Imperial Concubine Tong had given birth to a little prince, her temperament seemed to return to the innocent, romantic, and little girl she was when she first entered the palace. She seemed to come back to life.

This should have been a good thing, the wet nurse thought of the imperial physician's words and fell silent.

Watching carefully, Imperial Concubine Tong drank the warming and nourishing medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. She had someone watching the process from picking the medicine to boiling it.

Imperial Noble Concubine Tong put down the medicine bowl and ate a plate of sweet dates handed to her by a palace maid. She finally covered up the bitter taste of the medicine in her mouth and was in the mood to ask where Kangxi had gone.

"Mammy, where is His Majesty? How come I can't see him?"

The wet nurse thought of the fact that Kangxi had spent a night guarding in Chengqian Palace, and answered with a smile.

"Your Majesty stayed with you all night until you gave birth to the little prince. Then he went to the morning court. He should be handling government affairs in the Yangxin Palace now."

"When he left, he said he would come to Chengqian Palace in the evening."

When Imperial Concubine Tong heard that Kangxi had been guarding her all night, a satisfied smile appeared on her pale face.

"Cousin Emperor, I am different from the other girls in the harem. I am special."

Kangxi's wife, the prince's biological mother, Empress Xiaochengren Hesheli, stayed up all night when she gave birth to Prince Yinreng.

The only one who has this honor in the harem is Imperial Noble Consort Tong.

When the wet nurse heard this, her face was full of approval, and she looked at Imperial Concubine Tong with fondness.

"How can the concubines in the harem be compared with the Empress? Your status means that you are destined to be special in front of His Majesty."

"Plus the friendship you two had when you were kids, how could His Majesty not dote on you?"

"Even if His Majesty makes you the Queen in the next moment, I won't be surprised."

When Concubine Tong heard the word "empress", her eyes lit up and she looked at the nanny expectantly.

"Mammy, tell me, since I gave birth to a little prince for His Majesty, is it possible for His Majesty to promote me?"

The wet nurse thought for a while, her heart full of bitterness, and she forced a smile on her face.

"Of course, the position of queen belongs to you, but your health condition has not yet recovered. Is she completely well? Maybe His Majesty will make you queen."

Imperial Concubine Tong did not notice the reluctance of the wet nurse, and was always immersed in the thought that as long as she got better, her cousin the emperor might make her the queen.

The status of the Imperial Noble Consort was similar to that of the Vice Queen, which meant that the Emperor's cousin had originally planned to make her the Queen. However, although she had a prominent status at the time, she had no biological children, and she could not suppress the fact if it were made public.

But now it’s different, she has a little brother.

Yonghe Palace.

Concubine De Uya held the little girl in her arms with a loving face.

In just over a month, Concubine De Uya had raised the Fourteenth Prince to be plump and white, not inferior to those who were only three or four months old.

People who don’t know would think that the Fourteenth Prince is already three months old.

Since she came out of confinement, Concubine De Uya's entire attention has been focused on raising the Fourteenth Prince.

She had to look at him seven or eight times every day. If she didn't look at him for a quarter of an hour, Concubine De Uya would feel very uneasy. She wished she could keep her precious baby in front of her eyes and never let him go for a moment.

When the news came that Imperial Noble Consort Tong of Chengqian Palace had given birth to a child, Concubine De held the Fourteenth Prince's hand and unconsciously used a little more strength.

The Fourteenth Prince immediately became unhappy and burst into tears.

Concubine De Uya had no intention of paying attention to the news that Imperial Noble Concubine Tong had given birth to a prince.

She immediately spoke softly to comfort the Fourteenth Prince who was crying loudly in her arms.

Although the Fourteenth Prince was young, he had a bad temper since he was born. Whenever something went wrong, he would cry loudly, causing a lot of trouble for everyone in Yonghe Palace.

However, Concubine De Uya never got angry. It seemed that she saved all her good temper for her youngest son.

No matter how the Fourteenth Prince behaved, in the eyes of Concubine De Uya, he was always lively, cute, strong and powerful.

If the palace maids and eunuchs made the Fourteenth Prince cry, Concubine De Uya would directly have them taken to the Imperial Household Department and replaced with a new one.

After this month of tossing and turning, I don’t know how many times the servants in Yonghe Palace have been replaced.

Fortunately, the grandfather of Concubine De, Uya, was in charge of the Imperial Household Department, otherwise who would have given her so many opportunities? She would have chosen the best ones every time and moved to Yonghe Palace.

There was no anger on Concubine De Uya's face, and she looked at the Fourteenth Prince in her arms with full loving care.

"My dearest baby, my sweetheart, don't cry, don't cry, it's all my fault, it's all because I was too rough just now."

"My dear mother, I won't cry anymore."

.........

Hearing the gentle voice of Concubine De Uya, the Fourteenth Prince slowly stopped crying, sucking his thumb, his eyes blinking innocently, with red marks from crying at the corners of his eyes, looking at Concubine De Uya with great pity.
