Although Shen Jiang was taking tonic medicine, his mentality was still relaxed.

She hadn't made up her mind yet, and the Fourth Prince, seeing that she had taken so many tonics but still had no news, simply gave up the idea of ​​having another legitimate son.

"When Li gives birth to a child, I'll give it to you to raise." said the Fourth Prince.

Well, Shen Jiang is going to be a mother painlessly again.

It’s so annoying, can I not keep it?

The system said sarcastically: "Either give birth or raise the child, you have to choose one, right? You can't take all the benefits, even if you are the heroine!"

Shen Jiang closed his eyes and pretended not to hear its nonsense.

"I'll consider it again after Honghui gets over that hurdle!"

Next year is the 43rd year of Emperor Kangxi’s reign, and this year is the year Honghui will die. Shen Jiang must be prepared to ensure that Honghui survives smoothly.

In February of the 43rd year of the Kangxi reign, Li gave birth to the third prince.

Afterwards, the palace held a beauty contest and the Fourth Prince's mansion selected two girls as princesses, one of whom was Niuhulu.

According to the custom, a new princess would receive a reward, usually a pair of hairpins and two pieces of cloth.

Shen Jiang specifically asked Shi Liu to deliver the reward to Niuhulu and take a look at what Niuhulu looked like.

Grape asked in confusion: "Why can we just send a maid? Why does Sister Pomegranate have to go in person?"

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "After all, the Niuhulu family is an old Manchu surname, so we have to give them some respect."

This honor is not given to Niuhuru himself, but to this surname.

Shi Liu came back and said bluntly, "She is average looking, with ordinary facial features and ordinary eyebrows and eyes. If her last name wasn't Niu Hulu, how could she have been selected into the palace?"

Shen Jiang guessed that Niu Hulu was not a beauty, otherwise she would not have given birth to a child seven or eight years after entering the palace.

Later historians judged the favors that were not clearly recorded by looking at the children. For Yongzheng, Li gave birth to the most children in the first half of his life, so it can be inferred that he favored Li the most in the first half of his life. In the second half of his life, Nian gave birth to the most children, and although none of them grew up, she was still the most favored.

As for Fujin and Niuhulu, they each gave birth to only one child, so they were not so favored.

It can be further inferred that Yongzheng liked Han women and disliked Manchu women.

Of course, that is the Yongzheng in history, as speculated by historians, and he is not the same person as the Fourth Prince in this parallel universe.

The Fourth Prince was quite nice to Shen Jiang, except that he always gave her the children born to his concubine to raise.

But in this era, giving all the children to the legitimate wife to raise represents trust in the legitimate wife.

The little prince born to Li has been brought in. He is full-term and doesn't look weak. He should be able to grow up.

Inside the room, the third princess Qi Buchen lay beside the rocking chair and looked at the little prince, full of questions: "Brother fell asleep?"

The third princess was named Qi Buchen, which means quiet, but the third princess's personality is completely opposite to her biological mother Song, and she is never quiet.

Zarafen told her: "This is how babies are when they are born. It was the same when you first came here. You slept every day."

Qi Buchen suddenly felt bored and went outside to swing on the swing.

After playing for a while, the Fourth Prince came back.

"Father!" Qi Buchen's short legs ran quite fast. She jumped into the arms of the Fourth Prince and said unhappily, "Brother, you are sleeping again!"

The fourth prince smiled and said, "Brother is sleeping, so he won't play with our Qi Buchen, right? Have you played with your sister?"

Qi Buchen counted on his fingers and listed them one by one: "My younger brother is sleeping, my older brother is studying, and my older sister is learning to be a housekeeper." There is just no one to play with her.

Zarafen reads, writes, practices archery and needlework every day, and now she has to learn housekeeping as well. She really doesn't have much time to play with Qi Buchen.

The Fourth Prince touched Qi Buchen's little face. Shen Jiang just came out and said with a smile, "This little girl has learned to complain."

The Fourth Prince walked into the house with a smile, changed his clothes and washed his face, then came out and continued to hold Qi Buchen in his arms, while sitting on the kang and chatting with Shen Jiangxu.

Shen Jiang said, "Today, two princesses came into the palace, and their allowances have been sent over. One of them is from the famous Manchu family, Niuhulu. Would you like to go and see her tonight?"

The fourth prince said, "Since it is Niuhulu, please ask the kitchen to prepare a table and send it over. I will go and have a drink and come back later."

He said it frankly. Shen Jiang looked at him, smiled and nodded.

Qi Buchen pinched his fingers and said, "Father, I want to learn big characters too."

The fourth prince smiled and said, "Okay, I will teach our third princess how to write big characters later!"

Qi Buchen emphasized: "I'm waiting for Ama!"

Shen Jiang smiled slightly. This little girl was more cunning than her brothers and sisters. It seemed as if she was afraid that the Fourth Prince would go to Pansi Cave and never come back.

Niuhulu carried a small bag and entered the Fourth Prince's residence, and was assigned a room in the west wing. In the main courtyard of the west wing lived Song, the mother of the Third Princess.

Jingqi's mother brought two maids to serve her. She thanked her mother and smiled at the two maids.

"What are your names?"

The two maids replied, "I call you Big Sister, and I call you Sanniu."

Niuhulu sneered: "What's the big sister or the third sister? From now on, you will be called Huixiang and Zhilan."

"Thank you for the name."

Niuhulu nodded in satisfaction and looked around. The house looked very simple, not what she had imagined. But it didn't matter. Yongzheng was a famous frugal emperor in history, and she thought it should be like this.

After entering the Prince's Mansion, Niuhulu felt relieved. Ever since she traveled through time, she knew that her father's name was Ling Zhu and her surname was Niuhulu. She knew that this enormous wealth and honor would finally be her turn!

If she had just endured a few more years and given birth to Qianlong, as soon as Yongzheng died, she would have become the longest-lived Empress Dowager in the Qing Dynasty.

However, she had never read the history of the Qing Dynasty seriously, and had only read a few novels about time travel in the Qing Dynasty, so she had no idea about the current situation in the mansion.

"I'm new here and don't know what the situation is in the mansion. You guys tell me so that I don't say or do something wrong." said Niu Hulu.

Huixiang and Zhilan looked at each other and talked about the situation in the mansion.

As Niuhulu listened, she complained in her heart: Wasn't it said that Li was very favored? Why was she confined? Honghui, born to Fu Jin, hasn't died yet? He should be dead soon! The two princesses of Song should have died young! How come the third princess is still alive? The Fourth Prince gave all his children to Fu Jin to raise, which shows that the Fourth Prince values ​​Fu Jin very much, which is completely different from what is written in the novel that they will never see each other again!

After listening, Niuhulu discovered that the Fourth Prince's Mansion was completely different from what she had known!

What went wrong?

Could it be that there are other travelers from the Qing Dynasty besides her?

This is not surprising. After all, Qing Dynasty clothing was once very popular, and the Qing Dynasty was almost dressed like a sieve.

"You go and ask when I can go to pay my respects to Fu Jin." Niuhulu felt that the person most likely to be a time traveler from the Qing Dynasty was probably Fu Jin.

So, she wanted to meet Mrs. Fujin!

Huixiang and Zhilan looked at each other again and both felt that the new princess was too active. They had to take the opportunity to report something to Madam Kong to avoid any trouble that would implicate themselves.
