Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 218: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 16

Yinzhen came to Concubine Qi and stayed in Jiuzhou Qingyan the next day.

Next, he began to visit the concubines who had children in turn.

Concubine Xi, Concubine Yu, and then it was finally Jiayue's turn.

Seeing Yinzhen, Jiayue had a smile in her eyes, but no surprise, and she said: "I haven't seen the emperor for a long time. The emperor finally remembered me."

Yinzhen felt a little embarrassed for once.

"I am busy with government affairs and have been negligent."

After hearing his halfhearted reason, Jiayue just smiled and said, "I understand."

"Are you comfortable living in this Bitong Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Yue smiled brightly: "I heard that Bitong Academy was where the emperor studied in the past. I found that many books have the emperor's annotations, which really benefited me a lot!"

Naturally, the books left by Yinzhen were all those that Jiayue could read.

Yinzhen was happy to hear Jiayue say this, as he had specially arranged the Bitong Academy.

“It’s good to benefit from it.”

Yinzhen likes people who are ambitious and hardworking. After all, Jiayue is the mother of his child.

To some extent, in Jiayue's view, Yinzhen is a very lively person with a strong personality. If he hates her, he wants her to die; if he loves her, he wants her to live. He likes the imperial concubine and tries his best to give her the best.

He was also somewhat kind to other concubines in the harem. For example, if the queen didn't care about Jiayue's Bitong Academy, she would not have arranged her to this place.

For example, Zhao Changzai, he understood her intentions, but still sent someone to send her back.

As she spoke, Jiayue had Hongzhao brought over.

Hongzhao was not even a year old yet and was being well taken care of by Jiayue. Yinzhen felt like he had not seen his son for a long time. When he took a quick look at him, he could not hide the joy in his eyes.

After all, children are different from each other, especially after seeing Hong Zhou's mischievous behavior at Yubin's place yesterday.

"Hong Zhao looks more and more handsome, and you have taken good care of him. He is fair and tender, and rarely gets sick. You have put in a lot of effort, and I should reward you."

Jiayue glared at him and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Hongzhao is my son, so even if I put in a lot of effort, it's what I should do. I don't need any reward."

"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing."

Su Peisheng, who was standing by, was watching such a harmonious scene. He looked at Hong Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, I think the Sixth Prince is 50% like Your Majesty and 50% like Concubine Jing. He has the best qualities of both. When he grows up, he will definitely be a handsome prince!"

Although Yinzhen also looked in the mirror, the mirror inevitably distorted the image. Hearing this, he looked at Hongzhao and said, "Let me take a look."

Jiayue had discovered long ago that, in fact, Hongzhao looked better than Yinzhen, and he indeed inherited the best qualities of his parents.

The mothers of Yinzhen's children all looked different.

Concubine Qi was pretty when she was young, and the Third Prince looks a bit like Concubine Qi, with a more delicate appearance, but he is like Concubine Qi, not very tall.

Concubine Xi's face can only be described as pretty, but the Fourth Prince's features are quite good, and he looks more heroic than the Third Prince.

Concubine Yu is prettier than Concubine Xi, but she is more indulgent to the fifth prince Hongzhou. Hongzhou is young but a little chubby and looks rather sturdy. As for his appearance, he can only be said to be not ugly.

Then there is Hong Zhao.

Raised in the Jiayue spiritual spring water, he is full of spiritual energy, looks like a little fairy child and is full of spirit.

Such children are naturally likable.

"Is he somewhat like me, or is it Jiayue who can give birth?"

It seems that Yinzhen really likes Hongzhao, and he even calls Jiayue by her maiden name.

"Although the child was born to me, the emperor also deserves credit. I cannot give birth to a child myself."

These words were somewhat ambiguous, and Yinzhen felt itchy inside, but it was still early outside, so he couldn't do anything.

Looking at Hongzhao, Yinzhen felt that Jiayue was someone who could give birth and raise children. Then he thought about how she got pregnant not long after giving birth, and thought that maybe she had an easy pregnancy, and maybe she could have more babies in the future.

Soon, the topic changed and the two went to the study.

Yinzhen looked at the furnishings in the study, feeling familiar yet a little strange: "It seems that you have carefully decorated this study."

"I hope Your Majesty doesn't blame me for moving around."

"You have a good eye, and the layout is quite interesting."

As he spoke, Yinzhen looked at a painting on the wall, a picture of young children playing. The background of the painting was Bitong Academy, and the child was Hongzhao.

There are mountains and water in the painting, and a courtyard between the mountains and water. In the courtyard, a young child is playing with a puppet in his hand under the care of a palace servant. Jiayue never appears in the painting, but she is the artist. When people look at the painting, they can feel the artist's love for nature and children.

"This painting is yours, right?"

Jiayue smiled modestly and nodded: "My humble work, please forgive me for making fun of you, Your Majesty."

Yinzhen shook his head: "I have seen your paintings before. The skills were not good enough, but the emotions were sincere and rare. Now I see your paintings again. The emotions are still there, and the skills are better than before. It can be seen that you have never slacked off. You have some talent in painting."

Jiayue thought to herself, of course, she has never been lazy. Although there are struggles in the harem, most of the time is just about enduring. All the concubines can do is do needlework, read books, paint, and write.

She doesn't have the skills or patience for needlework and embroidery.

If you already have the basics of writing and painting, it won’t be difficult to pick them up again.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. I am just trying to make up for my shortcomings with hard work. I am not afraid that Your Majesty will laugh at me when I say this. I have wasted a lot of ink, writing brushes and paper!"

Yinzhen was even more delighted: "Diligence is more important than talent. You are doing very well. Hongzhao will surely be well educated if he has a diligent mother like you."

Yinzhen is a person whose diligence is greater than his talent.

According to historical records, he was the only emperor who died from overwork.

Of course, we can't say that he has no talent. He can stand out from the nine heirs competing for the throne, so it is impossible that he has no talent.

Jiayue looked shy and said, "Your Majesty, please stop praising me. If you continue to praise me, I will become proud."

"My dear, it's worth it."

There were not many women in Yinzhen's harem who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Concubine Qi was half a woman who could understand, and the Imperial Concubine was one who could follow and agree with them.

The imperial concubine is less than 20 years old now, but she knows so much, which shows that she has a family background in knowledge.

Now, Yinzhen discovered that Jiayue seemed to know as much as the imperial concubine. At least, in terms of calligraphy and painting, the imperial concubine was not as good as her.

Yinzhen's preferences have never changed; he likes talented women.

The two of them were in the study and the atmosphere was just right.

In the evening, Yinzhen was in a rare good mood, and Jiayue also enjoyed it. Only then did she realize that this man had been perfunctory to her before.

Sure enough, there is a difference between being affectionate and being heartless.

The next day, Su Peisheng personally sent a lot of rewards, especially pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as a fine paperweight. His intention was very obvious.

Jiayue now knows how to win favor in the future.

Sure enough, I still have to learn!

The next day, Yinzhen came again, and the people in Bitong Academy were naturally overjoyed.

In this way, Yinzhen came for three consecutive days. On the fourth day, the imperial concubine was unwell and reported to Jiuzhou Qingyan, who allowed Yinzhen to go openly.

It was just a coincidence that the day after Yinzhen went to pay his respects to the imperial concubine was the day after that. As soon as Jiayue sat down, she heard Concubine Qi speak.
