Transmigrated into a Qing Dynasty concubine and asked the system to help me raise my children

Shen Jiang drank a sip of tea and said to Shu Fei: "There is a big difference between this Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi. She is very smart and can learn anything quickly. If Xiaoyanzi is the little swallow chirping under the eaves, then Ziwei is the crape myrtle flower that blooms in the sun in July and August."

He Jing: “…”

Shen Jiang also felt that her metaphor was a bit rough, so she simply stopped using metaphors and said directly: "Ziwei's character is gentle but strong, and she is not noisy. I think Shufei, you can educate her well."

Shu Fei said, "The Queen has two princes and a princess by her side, Concubine Chun is ill, and Concubine Yu is worried about the Fifth Prince all day long, leaving me alone with nothing to do."

Shen Jiang said casually: "If Wei had not been demoted and was still a concubine, the emperor might have given Ziwei to Wei to raise."

He Jing sneered, "Forget it then! Since the Queen thinks Ziwei still has something to teach, why not let Shu Fei teach her well? If you give it to Wei Jia Shi, I'm afraid she will be corrupted."

Shu Fei nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take this hot potato."

He Jing then asked Shen Jiang: "What about Princess Huanzhu?"

Shen Jiang smiled slightly and said, "Princess Huanzhu and the Fifth Prince are in love with each other, so the Emperor gave her to the Fifth Prince."

The Fifth Prince already has a wife, and given Xiaoyanzi's background, she can only be a princess.

He Jing frowned: "Fifth brother is too..." She didn't say anything else, because not only the Fifth Prince, but even Emperor Qianlong was like a lunatic.

Shufangzhai has been disbanded, Xiaoyanzi has moved into Jingyang Palace, and Ziwei has moved in with Shufei.

Shu Fei frowned when she saw Ziwei and said, "Didn't your mother die less than a year ago? Why don't you observe mourning for her? You are wearing such colorful clothes!"

Ziwei was suddenly struck by lightning!

Yes, she should have mourned for her mother, even though she had set out for Beijing a month after her mother's death. She couldn't do anything else, but at least she could do it in terms of clothing!

She is so unfilial!

Shu Fei did not ask her anything, but said to her maid, "Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hurry up and make two sets of plain clothes. Go and see if there are any plain clothes in my closet, and change them for Princess Ziwei first."

Ziwei thanked her quickly. She could see that Shu Fei didn't like her very much, but Shu Fei was kind-hearted, otherwise she wouldn't have picked clothes for her.

Shu Fei said calmly: "Since the emperor has handed you over to me, I will naturally teach you well. I hope you can study hard and don't let your mother down."

Ziwei returned to the room that Concubine Shu had prepared for her. The maid Haitang brought her two sets of clothes and said with a smile, "Fortunately, our queen likes plain clothes, so there are two sets of plain clothes. Princess, wear them first!"

Ziwei hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you."

Haitang waved her hand and said, "You are welcome, Princess. And Miss Jinsuo beside you should also change her clothes. If you don't mind, just return them to me first!"

Jinsuo thanked them quickly. Seeing that both the master and servant were very polite, Haitang thought for a moment and reminded them, "Since Gege will be our queen's adopted daughter in the future, I'd better tell you something! If you don't like it, just ignore it and forget about it."

Ziwei hurriedly said, "Sister, please tell us. We are new here and there are many things we don't understand. It is our blessing that you are willing to teach us." Jinsuo also nodded.

Haitang organized her words and said to her, "I know that you and Princess Huanzhu are good friends, but I still want to tell you that Princess Huanzhu has a very bad reputation in the palace. Except for Concubine Ling, probably no one in the harem likes her."

Ziwei was silent. She had been in Shufangzhai before and had never come into contact with the imperial concubines. But with her intelligence, it was not difficult for her to guess.

Haitang observed her expression and saw that she had no intention of refutation, so she continued: "Maybe many people don't know who Huanzhu Gege is, but everyone in the harem thinks that Huanzhu Gege is Xia Yuhe's daughter, so... your mother Xia Yuhe's reputation is not very good."

Ziwei's face turned pale and she took two steps back. Jinsuo quickly supported her: "Miss, poor Miss, you obviously didn't do anything!"

Haitang cruelly told the truth: "Princess Ziwei did nothing, but what Xiaoyanzi did has been blamed on Princess Ziwei. If Princess Ziwei considers her own future and your mother's reputation, she should not get too close to Xiaoyanzi. After all, you are Princess Gushan, and she is just a concubine of the Fifth Prince."

Ziwei was hit again. Xiaoyanzi and the Fifth Prince truly loved each other, but why did Xiaoyanzi only become a concubine in the end?

Haitang seemed to see through her thoughts, and smiled and said, "We in the Qing Dynasty pay attention to bloodlines, you will understand if you think about it. No matter how much the emperor likes Xiaoyanzi, she is just a street performer under the overpass. It is a great fortune that she became the concubine of the fifth prince by accident. The one you will marry in the future must be a talented young man from the Eight Banners, so don't think about the past."

That’s all Haitang has to say, it depends on how Ziwei digests it.

After exiting, he found Shu Fei, who asked, "Did you bring all the messages?"

"Yes."

Shu Fei said: "I hope this Princess Ziwei is really a smart person as the Queen said, otherwise, I will be in trouble."

Shen Jiang also knew about Ziwei's recent situation. When she heard that Shu Fei asked Ziwei to mourn for her mother, Shen Jiang nodded and said, "Shu Fei is very thoughtful. Rong Mama, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to speed up the preparation of plain clothes and let Ziwei wear them as soon as possible."

"Yes, slave, go now!"

The New Year is coming soon, and every department in the Imperial Household Department is very busy. If Shen Jiang doesn't urge them, I don't know how long they will delay!

Fortunately, the matter of the real and fake princess has been handled. Shen Jiang hopes to spend this year in peace.

But, perhaps what you fear will come true. After being sweet with the Fifth Prince in Jingyang Palace for a while, Xiaoyanzi started to act up again.

Ziwei did not attend the New Year's Eve banquet because she was in mourning, so Shen Jiang gave her two vegetarian dishes.

Xiaoyanzi could not attend the banquet because of her status. She wanted to look for Ziwei, but she had never been to the harem before, so she didn't know where Shufei lived.

So she simply ran out of the palace alone and went to Huibin Building to find Liu Qing and Liu Hong.

Before the banquet was over, the Fifth Prince returned to Jingyang Palace in a hurry and looked for Xiaoyanzi everywhere but couldn't find her. However, the palace gates had been locked, so he could only wait until the next day, pretending to pay New Year's greetings to Concubine Shu and asking Ziwei if she had seen Xiaoyanzi.

Ziwei did not show up. Jinsuo always remembered what the Fifth Prince said when he advised his young lady to give up her identity in order to save Xiaoyanzi.

She stepped forward and knelt before the Fifth Prince, and said politely, "Shouldn't Fifth Prince be in the Palace of Heavenly Purity right now? Why are you in the harem? Concubine Shu has gone to the Yikun Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen. It is very inconvenient for you to be here, so please go back quickly!"
