Chapter 263 Wash 3
When the news reached the palace, Kangxi was delighted again.
The previous reward for Luo Yao was just the tip of the iceberg. Once the child is confirmed to be safe, it will be time to give the real reward.
Three days passed in a flash, and it was the day for the three little ones to have their third bath.
It was so cold that Yinzhen didn't want to hold a big banquet.
Just do it as a token of your appreciation and let the child stay in the cold.
But those princes had been eyeing him covetously, so they would never agree to let him hold just a small banquet.
If there had been no good reason, they would have wanted to come and see the child as soon as he was born.
Now that there is an opportunity, someone was sent to pass on the message early in the morning, waiting for the third day of the baby's bath.
Helplessly, Yinzhen had to let these brothers in.
But at the same time, he did not invite anyone else, such as Yixiu's parents' family.
On the day Fei Yanggu heard that the child was born, he came in person with valuable gifts.
Unfortunately, Yinzhen didn't even let him in.
Fei Yanggu had no choice but to go back and think of another plan.
For example, beat up Jueluo and then locked him up as a warning to others.
Then, all the servants who had followed Jueluo and Rouze in bullying Yixiu over the years were arrested and beaten with sticks.
The worst cases were serious injuries and most of the servants in the mansion were replaced.
Although they all claimed that they were wronged and had never bullied the second young lady.
But it is better to kill by mistake than to let him go!
If these can calm the Fourth Prince's anger, Fei Yanggu feels it is worth it.
After this series of small moves, Fei Yanggu came to give gifts again on the third day of the washing day.
Although he was still not allowed in, at least the gift was accepted.
"Master Fei, please go back. I will convey this message to the Fourth Master and his wife."
Su Peisheng was speechless when he saw Fei Yanggu smiling.
If I had known this would happen, why didn’t I teach Jueluo and her daughter a lesson?
There is already a gap now, and no matter how hard we try to make up for it, it will never be as good as before.
As the Fourth Prince's father-in-law, he would have received some respect.
Now, it's just a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
"Okay, okay, I'll trouble Eunuch Su to pass on this message for me."
Fei Yanggu took out a sachet from his sleeve and handed it to Su Peisheng.
The king of hell is easy to mess with, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.
This kind of person who fawns over his superiors can make all his efforts go to waste if you just say a few slanderous words about him.
So I had to bribe one or two.
Su Peisheng was already accustomed to this, and he quickly put the things into his sleeves.
Because if he doesn't accept the gift, it will make the other person feel uneasy.
After seeing Fei Yanggu off, Su Peisheng went to the front yard to busy himself.
As the chief steward in the Fourth Master's mansion, he has a lot to do.
He is definitely a tool who works hard without complaint!
The third bath usually starts after lunch.
But Yinzhen's brothers came without having eaten.
Fortunately, everything is almost ready and we can start at any time.
In ancient times, there were many things to prepare for the third day of the lunar year.
According to the midwife's request, we prepared gold and silver, a navel hairpin, various snacks, liters, buckets, weights, etc.
There are dozens or even hundreds of various kinds.
As for the royal third day bath, the preparations would naturally be more expensive and comprehensive.
Different from ordinary people.
The brothers came and brought quite a lot of gifts.
As soon as they arrived, someone clamored to see the three children.
Needless to say, the one who is so fierce must be the Fourteenth One.
Originally, he had some discomfort with Yinzhen because his mother was demoted to Depin.
But I knew that my triplet nephews, whom I had never met, were born.
He immediately put those little thoughts behind him and forgot about the eye drops that Depin had put on him.
It's coming all the time.
"Where are the children? Where are my triplet nephews!"
If Thirteen hadn't been there to hold him back, he would have run to the backyard.
Yinzhen came out at this time and glared at him when he saw his anxious look.
Warn him to be careful and not ruin his son's baptism ceremony.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The time hasn't come yet. I'll come out when the time comes."
He said something perfunctorily to him and asked Thirteen to keep an eye on him.
Fourteen curled his lips.
Having triplets is amazing!
My wife will also give birth in the future!
"Fourth!"
Crown Prince Yinreng strode over with a smile as bright as spring breeze on his face.
Yinzhen's face became serious and he cupped his hands, "Prince, second brother."
The prince looked around and found that most people had arrived, except for the boss.
He said directly:
"I think it's almost time, Fourth Brother, let's get ready and start."
This is an intention to leave the eldest prince aside without waiting for him.
He is obviously the crown prince, but the eldest prince arrived later than him.
He always does these little tricks, looking down on himself openly or secretly.
Yinzhen was a little embarrassed.
He actually didn't want to get involved in the fight between the boss and the prince.
He followed the prince only because they had some friendship when they were young.
If I do as the prince says today, I will really offend the eldest prince Yinzhen.
Just as Yinzhen was pondering how to answer, the eldest prince's heroic voice sounded from behind him.
"Haha, I'm not late, am I?"
He greeted the Third Prince, the Eighth Prince and others with a smile.
Then he walked over to Yinzhen and the prince.
"I'm sorry, Lingti was making a fuss when I got here, so I just looked after her for a while."
He explained that he didn't seem to be late on purpose.
The prince chuckled twice and did not respond.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Yinzhen left them, using the excuse that it was time to start the third day's bath.
The midwife who was invited was already prepared.
Generally, these people are respected elders among the people, and they are called by various names.
For princes like Yinzhen, the midwives they hired were all of status.
At this time, an incense table was set up on the front of the outer hall, enshrining thirteen statues of gods including Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao, Yunxiao, Cuisheng, Songzi, etc.
The midwife stepped forward and bowed three times with a solemn expression.
A servant placed a prepared copper basin on the table, which contained soup made from locust branches and mugwort leaves.
The three babies were finally taken out.
In the nurse's arms, wrapped in a purple swaddling cloth.
Fourteen couldn't wait to take a step forward and go up to see what was going on.
Thirteen grabbed him and whispered a warning in his ear:
"You are courting death, the prince hasn't even gone up yet, what are you doing over there!"
This should be done in order of seniority.
How could it not be Old Fourteen's turn to be the first to step forward?
Fourteen’s face turned red.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm just curious!"
Fortunately, they were standing at the back and no one noticed this scene.
Standing in the front row was naturally Crown Prince Yinreng.
He smiled slightly and was about to step forward.
