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

In the evening, Yongzheng came back and saw the teacup on the table. He smiled and said, "You're going to use it now?"

Shen Jiang said excitedly: "This is made by Grandpa for me, so of course I have to use it. Come and try it, Grandpa? I don't have to worry about burning my hands when drinking tea on a hot day."

"Okay, I'll try it." Yongzheng readily took a teacup and drank tea.

In fact, this kind of cup with handle has existed for a long time, but most of them are made of gold and silver. The reason why porcelain is rare is that the handle is not very strong when fired, and the porcelain itself is fragile, not as good as gold and silver.

This time, the official kiln spent a lot of effort to make the handle sturdy, which took a month.

However, seeing Shen Jiang so happy, Yongzheng felt that this month was worth it.

When the two were making love at night, they vaguely heard some noise coming from the yard two alleys away, but Shen Jiang was very tired and ignored it.

On the next morning, Su Peisheng came to report: "The Fifth Prince was unwell yesterday. He had a stomachache all night. He went to ask for the imperial physician early this morning."

Yongzheng frowned. He still had to go to court. Before leaving, he went to the princess's courtyard and asked her to keep an eye on Hong Zhou. If he got sick suddenly, she must let him know.

Ulanara said calmly, "Yes, Your Majesty, official business is more important."

Yongzheng glanced at her, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and walked out with a cold face.

Upon learning that Hong Zhou was unwell, Shen Jiang naturally went to visit him.

When Shen Jiang arrived, Song and Niuhulu were already in the room, trying to persuade Geng. Geng wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and cried, "I felt sick after returning from Concubine Nian's place yesterday. I don't know if I ate something unclean there."

It just so happened that Shen Jiang came at this time and heard these words.

Song coughed to remind her, but it was too late. Geng looked a little embarrassed when she saw Shen Jiang.

Shen Jiang glanced at her coldly and asked, "How is Hong Zhou?"

Geng shed tears and said, "Thank you, Concubine, for your concern. Hongzhou had a stomachache all night and had diarrhea several times." Her tone was full of resentment.

Shen Jiang walked straight to Hong Zhou's bed. The child on the bed had sunken eye sockets and pale lips. He had lost so much weight in just one night.

"System, check."

"Roger that!"

The system quickly gave an answer: "Acute gastroenteritis. This kid must have eaten something wrong."

This is absolutely obvious. After all, Hongzhou had dinner with Hongli yesterday. There is no reason why Hongli would be fine while Hongzhou was in trouble.

It must be that Hong Zhou came back and ate something messy again.

Shen Jiang gently stroked Hong Zhou's little face and asked gently, "Hong Zhou, good boy, tell me, did you eat anything after you came back yesterday?"

Before Hong Zhou could answer, Geng interrupted and said, "Hong Zhou didn't eat anything when he came back!"

Shen Jiang turned around and gave him a fierce look, saying, "I'm asking Hong Zhou, not you."

Geng was so frightened by her murderous look that she took a step back. Then Shen Jiang regained her gentle appearance and asked Hong Zhou with a smile: "Hong Zhou, be good. The imperial physician will be here soon. You must tell the imperial physician the truth, otherwise he may make a wrong diagnosis! My dear child, if you lie, your nose will grow longer."

Hong Zhou had heard the story of "Pinocchio" from Shen Jiang, and hurriedly covered his nose and said, "I don't want my nose to grow longer, I don't want my nose to grow longer! Nian Ce Fu Jin, I didn't say anything. After I came back yesterday, I ate an ice bowl."

Shen Jiang suppressed his anger and asked in a gentle voice, "Didn't Father restrict you from eating ice bowls?"

Hong Zhou said guiltily: "I saw Enie eating, and I... I was greedy so... I ate too."

It's no wonder that you get acute gastroenteritis after suddenly eating something cold in such hot weather.

Shen Jiang glanced at Geng, who lowered her head in shame.

At this time, the maidservant beside Ulanara came with the imperial physician.

Shen Jiang said, "Let the imperial physician check Hong Zhou's pulse, and all of you come out with me."

When they reached the outer room, Geng was about to say something when Shen Jiang turned around and a slap landed hard on her face.

The slap was so powerful that Geng's face tilted to the side and soon became swollen.

"Concubine, you..." Everyone in the Geng family was stunned.

Shen Jiang touched his hurt hand and said calmly: "If you can't even raise a child, what's the use of you? Next time you frame me, do it yourself if you have the guts, don't use a child."

Geng covered her face with her hands, and the other cheek that was not hit turned blue and red.

Shen Jiang left after she finished speaking. As soon as she left, Niu Hulu said, "I told you that you were too radical. My master is doting on her, and she is spoiled by her doting. You are the one who suffers."

Geng was furious and angry: "Who would have thought that she would actually dare to do this!"

Shen Jiang returned to his yard, poured a cup of cold fruit tea, and belatedly said to the system: "It's over, it seems that my character has collapsed."

The original owner, Nian Yuyao, was a gentle little white flower! Wasn't one of her wishes that she didn't want people to think she was arrogant and domineering?

But the slap that Shen Jiang gave him just now did have a bit of "arrogance and domineering" meaning.

System: "People's character settings are all created. Nian Shi was harmed by a third-rate storybook. How the storybook is written is determined by people, isn't it?"

Shen Jiang laughed and said, "Tongzi, you are so smart for once. You really hit the nail on the head."

Only a few people saw the slap in Geng's house just now. Even if it is told to others, some people have to believe it.

Shen Jiang was kind and gentle to the servants in the mansion, gentle and loving to the two children, and attentive and considerate in front of Yongzheng. Her character had long been established, so she was not afraid of Geng's nonsense.

However, when Yongzheng came back in the evening, she still had to make up for the slap.

In the main courtyard, when Ulanara heard the maid's report, a hint of surprise appeared on her usually calm face.

"Are you saying that Concubine Nian really beat up Geng?"

"Yes, I saw it clearly. He is a ruthless man who doesn't talk much, but his moves are very decisive."

Ulanara snorted and laughed, saying, "She has always followed the rules since she married into the mansion. She was also humble and cautious when serving me. I didn't expect that she has such a temper."

The maid said, "Geng is too much. Her words imply that Concubine Nian has harmed the Fifth Prince. It was difficult for the master to have children, and he only had three princes. If she really misunderstood Concubine Nian, I'm afraid her life will be difficult."

Ulanara's eyes were dazed, and she murmured, "Nian is beautiful, she won't fall out of favor so quickly, this time it was Geng who took the risk. Humph, if Honghui was still alive, there would be no chance for a little Geng to show off."

The maid shut her mouth at the right time. Whenever the child was mentioned, the princess would always think of the eldest prince.

But it was only a moment before Ulanara returned to her original state. She ordered, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Fifth Prince. The Master will definitely question him when he returns. As for Concubine Nian, send someone to keep an eye on her as well."
