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

Shen Jiang wore new clothes and new jewelry and stood at the gate of Kunning Palace to welcome the emperor.

Shunzhi strode over, grabbed her hand, and said, "What are you doing outside? It's so hot! Come in!"

Shen Jiang followed him inside with a smile. They had already prepared some sour plum soup to relieve the summer heat. Shunzhi drank two bowls of it, changed his clothes, and pulled Shen Jiang to sit on the kang.

He looked at Shen Jiang carefully. The dress looked particularly pleasing to the eye on her, and no one else could compare to her.

"It's too hot in the palace. In two days, I will accompany you to the Western Garden to escape the heat." Shunzhi stroked Shen Jiang's soft and boneless little hand and said gently.

Shen Jiang said happily, "Great! I want to go boating!" Then he asked, "Who are you going to take with you, cousin? I'll make a list and ask the Queen Mother for her approval."

Shunzhi pondered and said, "If I don't take anyone else, I'll take you."

Shen Jiang was stunned for a moment, then looked at him lovingly.

Shunzhi became even hotter as he was stared at. The sour plum soup he had just drunk lost its coolness. He coughed and said, "But we can't leave the Empress Dowager alone. It would be more peaceful if we just go alone."

"Yes!"

Shen Jiang went to ask Xiaozhuang, and Xiaozhuang looked at her: "Just the three of us? You're not even going to the harem?" She understood all at once!

Humph, it seems that Fulin wants to go alone with his wife, but is afraid that he would be unfilial if he doesn't take him with him!

Xiaozhuang was both relieved and sad. She rubbed her knees and said, "Forget it, forget it. I don't want to move anymore. Why bother? Besides, I'm old and can't be as strong as you young people. I don't feel hot."

Shen Jiang urged: "Aunt, let's go together! Xiyuan is fun!"

Xiaozhuang shook her head and said, "What's so fun about it? I went there a few years ago, and it was just a place with mountains and rivers. I don't think it's fun even though you haven't been there."

Shen Jiang tried to persuade him again, and Shunzhi tried to persuade her after the court session, but Xiaozhuang was determined not to go. She held their hands together and said with a smile, "Go and relax, and when you come back, just bring me good news!"

Shen Jiang blushed and lowered her head, and Shunzhi seemed to be thinking about something.

The biggest worry for Empress Xiaozhuang was that although her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship, there was still no good news after almost a year of marriage.

Xiaozhuang was looking forward to the time when the two of them could spend the summer in Xiyuan, so that they could enhance their relationship and not miss out on important matters.

On weekdays, Shunzhi rarely entered the harem and only stayed with the empress.

This is good and bad.

The good thing is that the emperor and the empress love each other, which is beneficial to the country and the family.

But the bad thing is that the queen is not pregnant, but the emperor needs an heir.

Back then, she and her aunt Zhezhe gave birth to daughters. The heir to the Aisin-Gioro clan must be born to a woman from Khorchin, so the newly widowed Hai Lanzhu was sent there.

Although Xiaozhuang loved her niece very much, if she was not pregnant again, she would follow the same path as Zhezhe and welcome another daughter of Khorchin into the palace!

Shen Jiang had no idea what Xiaozhuang was thinking. She packed her luggage with great enthusiasm and went to Xiyuan with Shunzhi to escape the summer heat.

The rules in Xiyuan are not as strict as those in the palace. The view is wide and the scenery is pleasant. Shen Jiang is very happy every day.

If the queen is happy, the emperor will naturally be in a good mood as well.

Shunzhi was a passionate young man. He could fall deeply in love with Dong E, so naturally he would also be moved by Shen Jiang.

Now that Dong E is gone, and Shen Jiang and he get along well, he gives all his affection to Shen Jiang.

"Cousin, we'll have fish soup for dinner tonight!" Shen Jiang, wearing the clothes of a fisherman's daughter, personally fished a fish in the lake and showed it happily to Shunzhi.

Shunzhi was delighted when he saw it and said, "You really caught it."

His queen is really capable. Not only did she go into the kitchen to cook a few dishes for him, she also knows how to go fishing!

Sometimes we just do open-air barbecue like on the grassland, which has a unique flavor.

The queen was good at riding and shooting, and the two of them often rode together, which was something he couldn't enjoy in the palace. The other concubines in the harem couldn't give him such a fresh and vivid feeling.

They stayed in Xiyuan until August, and their relationship grew better and better. Unfortunately, after returning to the palace, Xiaozhuang asked the imperial physician to take Shen Jiang's pulse, and naturally he was disappointed.

Xiaozhuang called Shunzhi over and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Su Malagu.

Seeing her son's energetic appearance, Xiaozhuang felt a little reluctant, but for the sake of her ancestors' foundation, she had to pour cold water on her son.

"You and Bumuba have been married for a year, but there has been no good news from Bumuba. What do you think we should do?"

Shunzhi was stunned. He felt that time passed so quickly. He didn't expect that he and the queen had been married for a year.

Thinking about how they were a little awkward at the beginning, but now they are inseparable, Shunzhi even automatically blocked the queen's surname and had long forgotten that she was the woman arranged for him by Dorgon.

When the Empress Dowager mentioned this, Shunzhi thought for a moment and said, "The Empress is still young, and it's not a big deal if she doesn't get pregnant for a while."

Xiaozhuang could not hide her disappointment and said, "But for the sake of the queen, you even ignored the other concubines in the harem. Fulin, do you still want the Qing Dynasty to be forever stable?"

Shunzhi was shocked: "What does the Empress Dowager mean?"

Xiaozhuang said: "You are the emperor, you must have many children!"

Shunzhi lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. After a long while, he said, "If I favor other concubines, my cousin will be sad."

Xiaozhuang was shocked and suddenly filled with sadness. She murmured, "Have you fallen in love with Bumuba?" This scene made her feel as if she had returned to twenty years ago.

At that time, someone said the same thing.

Her husband, Huang Taiji...but it was not her who heard these words, but her sister Hai Lanzhu.

It is said that Aisin-Gioro is a romantic man. Is it her son's turn so soon?

Xiaozhuang smiled bitterly, sighed, and showed the decisiveness of a queen dowager, saying calmly: "Bumuba is my niece, but she is also the queen of the Qing Dynasty. As a queen, she should shoulder the responsibilities of a queen! I will not be partial to her! Fulin, think it over for yourself, do you want to favor the harem and have more children, or do you want me to invite another noble lady from Khorchin to the palace?"

Shunzhi raised his head with difficulty and looked at his mother. After hesitating for a long time, he had to compromise and said, "Please rest assured, Empress Dowager, I... will not ignore the harem again."

The mother and son were not very close to begin with, and now because of the issue of offspring, there is a rift between them.

Although Shen Jiang didn't know about this, as soon as she came back from Xiyuan, she was called by Xiaozhuang to take her pulse, and Shunzhi was called in for a secret talk. She probably guessed what was going on.

Sure enough, a person's stance changes as his identity changes.

If Shen Jiang was not liked by Shunzhi and was always on the verge of being deposed, then Xiaozhuang would definitely stand on Shen Jiang's side for the benefit of the Manchu-Mongol marriage.

But now that Shen Jiang had become the "favored queen", Shunzhi not only would not depose her, but also neglected the harem. Xiaozhuang then stood against Shen Jiang.

There may be some affection between aunt and niece, but in the face of imperial power and interests, there is little left.

System: "Host, what are you going to do? Do you want to give birth to a child in advance?"

Shen Jiang sighed. In fact, she didn't care whether Shunzhi favored others or not. It wasn't like he was really in love with her. But Shunzhi had already done this for her. She couldn't just stand there and not do anything!

But would Shunzhi allow her to give birth to an heir with Borjigit blood?
