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

The third prince Xuanye chose Fuyou Temple as his residence to avoid smallpox. Fuyou Temple is located to the west of the Forbidden City. Except for festivals such as Buddha's birthday, there are usually no pilgrims coming and going, so this place is very peaceful and quiet.

The arrival of Shen Jiang and the Third Prince caused Fuyou Temple to completely close its doors and not receive outsiders, making the temple even quieter.

They had a separate courtyard, with a wet nurse and imperial physician accompanying them. Shen Jiang took care of the third prince personally, and with the medicine given by the system, Xuanye's illness was cured in less than half a month.

The imperial doctors were very shocked as this was the fastest recovery case they had ever treated.

"I will immediately write a memorial to report this matter to the Emperor, so that Your Majesty and the young master can return to the palace as soon as possible."

"No need," Shen Jiang stopped him. "Firstly, in such a short time, the emperor may not believe that we have recovered. Secondly, we don't want to return to the palace so soon."

She lowered her head and said softly to Xuanye in her arms: "After some time, when your body is completely healthy, I will take you for a walk on the street."

Xuanye's eyes lit up and he nodded happily.

There were no pockmarks on his face, and he was still as smooth and clean as a little boy.

The imperial doctors looked at each other in bewilderment, but Shen Jiang was the master and they were the servants, so they had no choice but to obey Shen Jiang's arrangements.

After resting for another half a month, Xuanye was jumping around like a normal person, so Shen Jiang took him out to play.

They went to Dashilan to buy sugar figurines, watched acrobatics under the overpass, and wandered around the alleys of Beijing. In short, they spent two months experiencing the customs and people of Beijing and had a lot of fun.

In the evening of that day, the mother and son returned with a full load. As soon as they arrived at the gate of Fuyou Temple, they saw the palace maid who served Shen Jiang waiting there anxiously.

Seeing Shen Jiang and the others coming back, she quickly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Master, someone is coming from the palace."

Shen Jiang raised an eyebrow, held Xuanye's hand, and asked as they walked: "Who is it?"

During these three months, except for the people sent by the Cining Palace to inquire about Xuanye's illness, Shunzhi always turned a blind eye.

If it was someone from the Cining Palace who came today, the maid wouldn't be so nervous, so it must be someone else.

The maid replied, "It was a great monk. I heard that this great monk came from afar and entered the palace to debate with the emperor. He was particularly appreciated by the emperor. I don't know how he came here. He said he wanted to chant scriptures and pray for the third prince."

Damn, he's a bald ass!

"No see!" Shen Jiang said coldly, ignoring him.

The courtyard they were in was filled with women and children. Even if the monk wanted to see Shen Jiang, he could not easily break in.

They spent the night peacefully. The next morning, Shen Jiang was having breakfast when she heard the palace maid say, "Master Xingchi is already chanting in the main hall."

Shen Jiang tightened his grip on the chopsticks and asked, "What did you say his name was?"

"Master Xingchi, Madam, you also think this Dharma name is very strange, right?"

Shen Jiang took a deep breath. This Buddhist name was not only strange, but also very familiar!

System: "Huh? Isn't this the Buddhist name passed down from when Emperor Shunzhi became a monk? Who exactly is this bald donkey?"

Shen Jiang: "Why do you call him a bald donkey?"

System: "Didn't I learn this from you?"

Shen Jiang: “…”

After breakfast, Shen Jiang decided to go and meet Master Xingchi.

She was standing outside the door of the main hall. On the inside of the threshold, a monk in a cassock was kneeling upright on a cushion with his back to her, chanting scriptures and beating a wooden fish.

The sound of the wooden fish was dull and slow, as if it was hitting Shen Jiang's heart one by one.

As if sensing something, the sound of the wooden fish suddenly stopped.

Xing Chi stood up and slowly turned around.

Shen Jiang stared at the monk's face with wide eyes, and in just a moment, she was disappointed.

not him.

Yeah, how could he be my cousin?

My cousin's body has been taken over by someone else, and the young and handsome monk in front of me has changed a lot.

Xing Chi lowered his eyes and bowed slowly: "I am Xing Chi, I am honored to meet the Queen."

Shen Jiang smiled, walked into the hall, burned incense to the Buddha, kowtowed, and then said, "You are not well-informed. You don't know that I am no longer the queen."

When Xing Chi was burning incense and kowtowing, his eyes were fixed on her pretty figure without blinking, and when she turned around to talk to him, he quickly avoided her gaze.

He lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness has the appearance of a mother who rules the country."

Shen Jiang chuckled: "It's just fate but no luck."

The two were silent for a while, and Shen Jiang suddenly asked: "Master, where does your Dharma name come from?"

"Given by the abbot."

"Why are you here?"

"I was a fool."

There was another moment of silence between the two of them. After a while, Shen Jiang quietly left.

After that, Xing Chi still recited scriptures and prayed every day, but Shen Jiang no longer went to the Main Hall. Instead, he stood at the gate of the courtyard, staring blankly in the direction of the Main Hall, as if he could still hear the dull sound of the wooden fish.

At night, the moon was high in the sky and everyone fell asleep.

A graceful figure opened the gate, turned around several high walls, and arrived at the monks' guest quarters.

She pushed open a door, locked it, and quietly approached the couch.

There was no one on the couch. Shen Jiang turned around suddenly and saw the man standing just a few inches behind her.

Shen Jiang held her breath, but Xing Chi spoke first: "Your Highness, why did you come here at night?"

Shen Jiang looked at him. The moonlight outside the window was alluring. A ray of moonlight shone through the window lattice onto the ground, reflecting the man's handsome face and upright figure.

In the shadows, his eyes were as bright as stars.

"Cousin," Shen Jiang called softly.

Xing Chi was trembling all over, and his voice was shaking: "My Lady, you got the wrong person."

Shen Jiang walked up to him and said, "I know it's you, cousin. I knew it when you called me queen."

Who wouldn’t know that the queen had been deposed?

Only my cousin, in his heart, she will always be his queen.

Xing Chi finally raised his eyes and looked at Shen Jiang deeply.

Shen Jiang's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up and asked, "My cousin doesn't recognize me. Has he forgotten our oath? My heart is not a bed, it cannot be rolled up."

Xing Chi murmured: "My heart is not made of stone, it cannot be turned."

Shen Jiang threw herself into his arms, he hugged her tightly, and they hugged each other and cried.

Xing Chi told Shen Jiang about his experiences over the years: "I seemed to have been asleep for a long time. When I woke up, I was no longer the emperor, but a monk in Zhenhai Temple."

It turned out that his body was occupied by someone, and his soul floated into the body of this monk.

When he woke up, he was horrified and told everyone that he was not a monk but an emperor. The other monks thought he was crazy and imprisoned him.

He was extremely unconvinced and refused to behave himself even when he was detained. After a few times, everyone said he was crazy.

He knew that if he continued like this, there would be no good ending, so he could only restrain himself and lie dormant.

He gained some knowledge from reading the scriptures every day, and because he was naturally smart, he soon won the favor of the abbot.

"When the abbot learned about my past actions, he said that my behavior was foolish, so he thought it would be better to change my Dharma name to Xingchi." After receiving this Dharma name, Xingchi became more and more unfathomable in Buddhism.

He heard that the emperor was still alive but favored Dong E and neglected the queen, and he was very anxious.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to stay in a temple in the capital and then take the opportunity to enter the palace. However, he never expected that the queen was suddenly deposed and the emperor issued a notice to seek eminent monks from all over the country, so he rushed here without stopping.
