The Bewitching Master of the Qing Dynasty

"She is five years older than me. When she was in the prime of my favor, I was not allowed to sleep with her. I allowed her to give birth! But what will happen after she gives birth? She dares to snatch my favor by relying on her being my first surviving child!"

"She's vying for my favor even though she's pregnant. Seeing how disgusting Tian'er is to me, if God wants her to die, he must first make her crazy! I'll grant her wish!"

"I don't regret attacking her. I only regret not protecting my Honghui well."

"I don't ask for anything else. I don't want to ask for his love. I don't ask for the prosperity of my family. I just want my Honghui to grow up safely and happily!"

A woman sat in the shadows, wearing the queen's formal attire.

The auspicious clothes are made of precious materials such as gold, silver, pearls, gemstones, etc., with exquisite design and solemn and majestic appearance, showing the nobility and magnificence of the royal family.

If she hadn't just been talking to herself with empty eyes, she would have really looked like an exquisite statue.

There was no sadness or joy, only melancholy and sadness in his eyes.

"I followed his wishes, did everything right, was respectful and filial to my superiors, and cared for my subordinates. But later, I had nothing but this cold position!"

"He favored Li and Nian. Li was fine, but he blamed me for Nian's child's death. He trampled my face on the ground for Nian's sake!"

The original owner was the historical Empress Xiaojingxian.

Ulanara Yaertan. Manchu. Grand Minister of the Interior in charge of the Infantry Commander, daughter of Cheng’en Duke Fei Yanggu.

Xueli thought about the history she had read.

When Emperor Yongzheng conferred the title of Imperial Concubine on Consort Nian, he also did something "out of the ordinary".

Because before Emperor Yongzheng, there had never been a case in the Qing Dynasty where the empress and the imperial concubine were canonized on the same day.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites, after the enthronement ceremony of the Queen is completed, the Imperial Concubine should lead the concubines, princesses, and ladies of honor to pay congratulations to the Queen.

Then she would be canonized as a noble concubine, and she would then accept congratulations from concubines, princesses, and ladies of honor.

However, Emperor Yongzheng changed the procedure of the Ministry of Rites. He asked the empress and the imperial concubine to sit on the left and right respectively and accept everyone's congratulations together.

Xue Li thought about the historical data and smiled, but he was sincere.

He was deeply afraid of having wronged his beloved daughter. I guess, in his heart, Concubine Nian was comparable to his first wife!

In this way, he saved the imperial concubine from having to pay her respects to the empress, thus preventing her from being wronged.

On the one hand, the imperial concubine and the queen are put on an equal footing.

In the old days, this could be considered "usurpation", but by doing so, Emperor Yongzheng was merely elevating the status of the imperial concubine.

This is Emperor Yongzheng, who is known for his strict adherence to rules!

Including the imperial edict from Yongzheng to Concubine Nian:

"I have only risen from the throne, and I have entrusted you with the duty of assisting me. To help spread the teachings of the Queen, and to promote the talents of virtue and prudence. To examine the ancient rules, and to respect the order of rank. I ask your concubine, the Nian family, to be born in a noble family, and to have a good reputation, and to be kind and gentle, and to be upright and dignified. You are abiding by the rules of history, diligent and frugal, and set an example for the emperor. You have followed the rules and regulations of the emperor. I have received the kindness of the Empress Dowager and have conferred you the title of Imperial Concubine. You are respectful at that time, and you have inherited the grace of the emperor, and you have continued to be gentle and kind, and the great blessings will last forever. Respect you."

This means that Nian not only has a gentle personality and a good reputation, but can also persuade himself to be diligent in his work, abide by the rules, and be industrious and frugal.

Xueli sneered. When she liked him, she was like a virtuous queen. When she disliked him, she said, "The harem cannot interfere in government affairs!"

Not only that.

According to the rules, the imperial concubine's court robes and phoenix crown should have one less layer than the empress's.

However, Emperor Yongzheng ordered the Imperial Household Department to make Concubine Nian's court robes and phoenix crown of the same style as those of the Empress, except that he used three taels less gold to show the difference.

All signs indicate that Emperor Yongzheng was very fond of Nian.

This kind of favor sometimes even comes at the cost of violating the "ritual system" in the palace.

Xue Li thought, if it weren’t for the rules, because the original owner was filial and respectful to Empress Xiaozhuang and Empress Xiaohuizhang and Emperor Shengzu, and because the two empresses were not in accordance with etiquette!

It is estimated that Yongzheng would make Nian the queen!

Men~

"Okay, we just want the child to be healthy and the Qing Dynasty to survive! We won't love him. He can't give you your one and only love, and we don't have to give him our full enthusiasm in return, right?!"

Xue Li made a solemn promise to her.

She didn't like the feudal dynasty, as if a woman's value was only to give birth to children.

They are all so dirty themselves that they are afraid that their accessories may have some unfaithful intentions!

"Thank you, Immortal!" Ulanara bowed to her and gradually walked farther and farther away!

Xueli: Oh, so shy~(?_?|||)

It was still morning when Xue Li came, and she had probably just finished dealing with the chores in the mansion.

The original owner might be taking a nap on the couch.

It is now the 40th year of the Kangxi reign (1701), and the little guy is only 5 years old.

The princes and grandchildren of the Qing Dynasty all started their education at the age of six and went to the Shangshufang.

After a while, Xue Li's soul saw a thin little guy striding towards her.

When he walked to the door, he tried hard to control his expression and walked in with his back straight, looking serious and stiff.

Xueli: These are still two faces?! ⊙▽⊙

Xue Li recalled the memories of her original body and suddenly realized what the original owner's regrets were.

The original owner was chosen by the former Queen Tong at the age of 10 to become the wife of the fourth prince.

Her family brought her up according to the standards of a prince's wife.

She heard that the Fourth Prince was a man of great importance, so she wanted to gain his recognition and favor.

She is also serious and formal.

She is also a strict mother to her children and rarely shows or expresses her love.

The child has a natural affinity for his mother. He is taught by his mother to be steady, sensible, study hard, and respect rules...

The children loved, respected and feared her. In order to gain praise from their parents, they persisted in studying hard even when they were sick.

The last cold snap didn't make it through...

As for whether there are other people's work in it, who knows?

After all, Kangxi valued legitimate sons, and at that time, there were few legitimate sons in the prince's mansion.

Although he would not go to the Shangshufang until next year, the original owner had already arranged for his child's enlightenment.

The little guy doesn't have the liveliness of a child at all.

Being sensible and well-behaved means that he also did not have a childhood!

I think the original owner realized this step by step only after his son was gone.

Then I was trapped in the memory and could never get out!

Xue Li didn't think about it anymore. At this moment, the little guy's black eyes were looking at her intently.

There was admiration in his eyes, but he tried hard to restrain himself!

"Hui'er, come here!" Xue Li smiled gently.

The little guy's eyes were full of excitement, but he tried hard to control the joy on his face.

"Son greets his mother!" The little guy's voice was very babyish.

"Hui'er, what would you like to eat for lunch today?" Xueli took his little hand and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.

The little guy stared at his mother, who was particularly gentle today, without blinking.

"It's all right. My son likes everything my mother prepares!"

Xueli couldn't help but laugh softly.

Maybe it’s because they are related by blood, Xue Li likes the little guy very much.

He held him in his arms and patted his back gently.

"The weather has been nice these past two days. Can mother take you to the farm to play?"
