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

On the seventh day of the tenth month in the fourteenth year of the Shunzhi reign, Dong E gave birth to the fourth prince.

Shunzhi held the child in his arms and burst into tears. Yes, yes, this was his "first son"!

"Look at him crying like that!" Shen Jiang rolled his eyes.

The system followed with a click of the tongue: "This is what you call lost and found again!"

He might not have felt it in his original world, but after struggling around in this world, it finally overlapped with the world in his memory. You can imagine how excited he was.

System: "The Fourth Prince was born weak, I'm afraid he won't live long."

Shen Jiang sneered: "That's what it means to gain and lose again!"

After the fourth prince was born, Shunzhi not only issued a general amnesty, he also issued an edict stating that this was "my first son"!

This made Empress Xiaozhuang and the concubines in the harem very dissatisfied. If this was the "first son", then what were the three princes before him?

It’s not enough that the eldest prince died young, but the second and third princes are still alive!

Shunzhi didn't care about all this. He gave the Fourth Prince's share according to the share of the legitimate son. This behavior made everyone in the harem look at him with suspicion.

When Xiaozhuang's attempts to persuade Shunzhi failed, she went to the Wenquan Palace in anger. Then, as soon as Dong E was out of confinement, she asked her to go and take care of him.

The champion of the palace fight last term is not someone who can be bullied by others. She can't deal with the emperor, let alone a mere Dong E!

After receiving the imperial edict from Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Shunzhi instinctively wanted to refuse, but Dong E said, "The Empress Dowager is ill, and I should go to serve her. If I don't go, won't I be accused of being unfilial? Your Majesty, please block it for me once, but you can't block it in the future."

"But you just came out of confinement. Besides, can you bear to leave the Fourth Prince?"

With tears in her eyes, Dong E leaned softly on Shunzhi's shoulder and said, "I can't bear to leave the Fourth Prince and the Emperor, but..."

"I'll go talk to the Empress Dowager!" Shunzhi was aroused by her pitiful appearance and his patriarchal desire to protect her, so he wanted to go and argue with Xiaozhuang.

Dong E hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to be accused of being unfilial?"

Shunzhi said angrily: "The Han people are hateful. They insist on ruling the world with filial piety. The Manchus must learn this when they enter the Pass!"

Dong E smiled and helped him calm down, saying, "Filial piety is the most important thing. Your Majesty, rest assured that I will take good care of myself and serve the Queen Mother well."

Things had come to this point, and Shunzhi could no longer stop her. He sent Dong E to the Hot Spring Palace with numerous instructions.

Shen Jiang didn't go because Chen gave birth to the fifth prince.

But Chen was not too happy. She took one look at the child and said, "What about the prince? The Second Prince and the Third Prince are still alive but they are considered non-existent. What does my Fifth Prince count for?"

She took a breath and said, "Please ask the Queen to raise the Fifth Prince as well!"

The palace maids around her advised: "The Queen has already raised the Third Prince and two princesses. Your Highness has finally given birth to the Fifth Prince. It would be better for you to raise him yourself."

Chen sneered and said, "There is no one in the Qing harem who can raise their own children. I am of low birth and my position will not be very high in the future. Since I am not qualified, I will have to watch others raise the fifth prince. It is better for the queen to come forward."

Firstly, the children raised by the queen were treated better than those of other concubines. Secondly, the queen was a selfless person. She raised the third prince and the two princesses very well. She was not like other concubines who raised their children to the point where they didn't even know who their biological mother was.

After hearing Chen's request, Shen Jiang said indifferently, "It's okay to release one sheep or a flock of sheep. Bring the Fifth Prince over after the confinement period is over!"

System: "Ding Dong, you have a new Yanglemo order, please check it."

Shen Jiang curled the corner of his mouth and asked about Dong E's situation at Xiaozhuang's place.

System: "Don't mention it, the Queen Mother can be quite cruel sometimes. Dong E just came out of confinement, and she made her travel long distances and serve her. This is just like a wicked mother-in-law disciplining her daughter-in-law."

Shen Jiang: "The reason why evil mothers-in-law and bullied daughters-in-law exist is because men are incompetent! Shunzhi did things without thinking ahead, saying that he gave Dong E all kinds of respect, but he didn't try to resolve the anger of Xiaozhuang. I really don't know whether he really loves Dong E or wants to put her on the fire."

System: "Human hobbies are complex."

Shunzhi felt uncomfortable when Dong E was not in the palace. After a while, he saw the right time and went to the temporary palace to invite Xiaozhuang back.

It was already the end of the year when Xiaozhuang returned to the palace.

Shen Jiang went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects.

Xiaozhuang looked much better, not like someone who had been ill for a long time. When she saw Shen Jiang, she even joked, "You really have nothing to worry about, and you didn't even know to come and take care of me."

Shen Jiang laughed and said, "Aunt, you are wrong. I wanted to serve you, but you wouldn't let me. She said that I was the master of the harem and couldn't leave the palace easily. She also said that it would be inconvenient to take care of so many children around me."

Xiaozhuang smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it. I can't argue with you." She waved to Shen Jiang, called her to sit next to her, and then asked, "You also raised the Fifth Prince?"

"It's all the same upbringing. Kunning Palace is big, so it doesn't matter if you have a few children."

"Oh, it would be nice if you could have a child."

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Xiaozhuang also knew that the emperor was lucky to have kept the empress all these years, and it was impossible for her to have children.

The aunt and nephew had just talked for a while when a palace servant came to report: "The Imperial Concubine has fallen ill."

Xiaozhuang's face darkened, and she said coldly, "She fell ill right after returning to the palace. What? Are you going to tell others that she was wronged by taking care of me?"

The palace maid bowed her head and dared not speak. Shen Jiang held Xiaozhuang's hand and asked the palace maid, "Have you invited the imperial physician?"

The palace maid replied hurriedly, "We have already asked the imperial physician, and the emperor... has also known about it."

Xiaozhuang snorted coldly, and Shen Jiang nodded: "I know, you can go down!" After the palace servants left, she smiled and said to Xiaozhuang: "Since the emperor already knows, I won't go."

"No need to go!" Xiaozhuang said with a stern face, asking Su Malagu to prepare dinner. Nothing is more important than eating!

After Shen Jiang had eaten her fill in Cining Palace, she returned to Kunning Palace. The third prince Xuanye came running over with his short legs, looking up, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Enie, Enie, did you eat the fried prawns in the Queen Mother's Palace?"

Xuanye had eaten this dish in the Cining Palace once, and he never forgot it. But he was still young and couldn't eat fried food often, so Shen Jiang allowed him to eat it once every five or six days.

Shen Jiang deliberately said: "I ate it, it was delicious!"

Xuanye looked at her aggrievedly, and she laughed, pinched his cheek, and said, "I'll do it for you tomorrow!"

Xuanye immediately laughed and did not forget to thank Enie.

Here, the mother was loving and the son was filial, but Shunzhi strode in with a gloomy face and yelled at Shen Jiang: "The Imperial Concubine is ill, and you didn't even know to send a royal physician! The Imperial Concubine fell ill while tending to the Empress Dowager. You stay in the palace all day, aren't you ashamed?"

Xuanye was so scared that he hid behind Shen Jiang. Shen Jiang looked at Shunzhi coldly: "You scared the child."

"You heard me talking to you..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Jiang kicked him out.

Shen Jiang hugged Xuanye, covered his eyes, and carried him back to the room.
