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

Shen Jiang got dressed and went to the main courtyard to pay her respects to the princess.

When she arrived, the main hall of the main courtyard was already filled with women.

When they saw Shen Jiang coming in, except for Princess Ulanara and Concubine Li who were still sitting, the other concubines stood up to greet her.

"My concubine Nian pays respect to the princess. May the princess be blessed with good health and happiness."

Ulanara nodded and said, "No need to be polite." She was a stubborn and rigid person and had never been favored by Emperor Yongzheng. After her eldest son Honghui died, she could no longer be strong and became more and more silent.

At this time, she should have asked the people around her to guide the other concubines to pay their respects, but she sat in the main seat indifferently, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Shen Jiang was not in a hurry. She walked up to Li and bowed: "Hello, Sister Li."

Li was quite pretty when she was young and was one of Yongzheng's favorite women in his early years. She was petite and still had charm. When she smiled with her hands covering her mouth, it looked like a trembling branch of a flower.

She smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "Sister Nian is not only stunningly beautiful, but also very smart. No wonder I fell in love with you the moment I saw you."

Shen Jiang lowered her head "shyly" with a faint smile on her lips. This Li was also a very powerful person. She knew so quickly that Yongzheng liked her.

She sat on the chair, and even though the concubines, led by Song, did not know the rules, they knew they should greet her.

At this moment, she was extremely glad that she had entered the mansion as a concubine.

Shen Jiang quickly recognized everyone, because there were only a few of them.

The first person to enter the palace was Mrs. Song, who gave birth to two daughters, both of whom died young.

Then came Niuhulu, who gave birth to a son named Hongli, who was only four years old.

Next came Geng, who also gave birth to a son named Hongzhou, who was four years old.

It's gone.

Shen Jiang thought to himself: Yongzheng really has little interest in women! He might even be more interested in dogs than women (not in that aspect).

If Shen Jiang hadn't experienced it himself last night, he would have reason to doubt that he could not do it.

"Now that you have all recognized each other, it will be convenient for you to move around in the future. I'm tired, so let's stop here today!" Ulanara was impatient to greet these women and quickly sent them away.

Shen Jiang was walking back when Li caught up with her and said with a smile, "Sister Nian, come visit me when you have time!"

Shen Jiang smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Li went back to her own courtyard first. Shen Jiang looked at her back, and she still looked like a young girl.

She returned to her yard and couldn't wait to find the persimmons.

Manju stepped forward to wait for the order, and reported back, "Concubine, the prince has already given instructions. It is not yet the end of the first month of the year and the weather is still cold. You need to make dog beds and clothes for Persimmon, and add five ounces of beef and two ounces of goat intestines to the daily allowance."

Shen Jiang held the persimmon and smiled: "Did you hear that? We have a home, clothes, and meat for every meal."

Persimmon: "I heard it, I heard it, come and scratch my belly."

Shen Jiang found it very funny and scratched its belly.

She had been there for a while, and Grape had already found out the situation in the courtyard. She told her, "We have a small kitchen in our courtyard, which is only used to boil water, not to cook. There is a big kitchen in the backyard, and there is another big kitchen in the front yard where the prince lives. If the prince stays overnight in any courtyard, the big kitchen in the front yard will deliver the food."

She hesitated for a moment, but still said, "However, Concubine Li has a kitchen in her courtyard that can be used for cooking. I heard that she was very favored back then and had many children around her, so she set a precedent."

Shen Jiang smiled faintly, stroked the smooth fur of Persimmon, and said: "In this case, when I get pregnant, I can have my own small kitchen."

Grape nodded repeatedly, and then went on to describe the situation in various places in the mansion. The summary was that Li was favored in the past, and she didn't get along well with the concubine, especially after the concubine was promoted. But in recent years, Yongzheng rarely went to her courtyard, or more directly, Yongzheng rarely came to the backyard.

I'm afraid Shen Jiang's arrival will break this relationship.

Shen Jiang looked at her approvingly and said, "You've found out so much in just a short while. Not bad."

Grape said hurriedly: "This is my duty. Master, breakfast is ready. Please enjoy your meal!"

"it is good."

Soon breakfast was served on the table, with plenty of staple foods, stir-fried dishes, mixed vegetables, snacks and soups. Shen Jiang ate while picking out a few edible persimmons to feed the dog.

After eating, Shen Jiang took some persimmons to the yard to help digest the food.

Shizi was happily playing with a hydrangea when Su Peisheng came with two little eunuchs.

"Your servant Su Peisheng pays his respects to the concubine!" Su Peisheng bowed.

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "Su An Da, stop being so polite. What can I do for you?"

Su Peisheng said, "Before the prince entered the palace, he specifically instructed me to find two servants for Master Shizi, who is by the side of the concubine. I have already found them. Please give them your attention, concubine."

Shen Jiang kicked the persimmon ball and said with a smile: "Oh, you have become Mr. Persimmon."

Persimmon tilted his head and bit the hydrangea, and had no time to pay attention to her.

Shen Jiang had no choice but to pick it up and let the two little eunuchs come closer to ask "Uncle Persimmon" if he was satisfied.

The two young eunuchs showed their best side, fearing that they would be rejected.

Persimmon: "That's it for now! I'll complain if you treat me badly."

Shen Jiang touched its head helplessly and said to Su Peisheng: "Everything is fine. Thank you Su Anda."

Su Peisheng bowed and said, "Then leave them all to Master Persimmon. The prince said that when he comes back in the afternoon, he will personally draw a dog cage, a dog kennel, and clothes for Master Persimmon."

Shen Jiang knew Yongzheng's hobby, so he nodded and winked at Shi Liu, who quietly handed over a purse.

Shen Jiang stuffed the purse into Su Peisheng's pocket and said with a smile, "This is the first time we meet, so just consider it as a gift. Su An'da, please don't despise it."

This is against the rules.

Su Peisheng was a personal eunuch beside Yongzheng, and only Yongzheng could reward him, or at least his wife. But other women in the backyard were not allowed to show any affection to him.

This young concubine had just entered the palace and obviously didn't know the rules yet.

While he was hesitating, Shen Jiang had already stuffed the purse into his hand, turned around and left with the dog in his arms.

After entering the house, Grape thought that this might not be a good idea.

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "It's only my second day in the mansion, so it's normal that I don't know the rules."

Grape was a smart person. He understood immediately and guessed, "Master, are you trying to test the prince's tolerance for you?"

Shen Jiang nodded and said, "That's one thing. On the other hand, it also helps me build a friendship with Su Peisheng. Who knows when it might come in handy."

As long as Su Peisheng accepts it this time, it won't be difficult to give it to him again in the future.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content and playing for a while, Persimmon felt a little tired and simply started snoring in Shen Jiang's arms.

Shen Jiang signaled the pomegranate and grapes to go down, and she held the persimmon and let it sleep peacefully.

Pomegranate and Grape quietly closed the door and left. Pomegranate laughed and scolded, "This day is about to be outdone by a dog."

Grape joked: "If you are envious, you will be reborn as a dog in your next life."

Pomegranate spat at her and cursed, "You are like a dog that can't spit out ivory."

The two chatted and laughed as they counted the dowry that was brought in yesterday, and then prepared things for returning home tomorrow.
