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

Concubine Liang thought that her death could ease the father-son relationship between Kangxi and the Eighth Prince, but she didn't know that it instead intensified the confrontation between the two.

Especially after Kangxi learned that Concubine Liang was ill but refused to take medicine, he thought that Concubine Liang wanted to use her death to force him to be tolerant to the Eighth Prince.

Since the Eighth Prince spoke his true feelings to Concubine Liang that day, he has been tortured by guilt and dared not go to the palace to see Concubine Liang. Even when Concubine Liang was sick, he only went to see her twice, and the rest of the time, he let the Eighth Lady come to the palace to take care of her.

When Concubine Liang died, the Eighth Prince was deeply saddened, and in order to make amends, he held a grand funeral for Concubine Liang. But because of guilt, he was so sad after Concubine Liang's death that he could hardly move and needed someone to support him when he went in and out.

"Looking at his current state, I feel pity for him. But when I think about how Concubine Liang died, I find him hateful!" Fourteenth Prince said truthfully.

Shen Jiang said to his sons, "He has completely lost his holy heart and doesn't even know it. You don't have to pay attention to him. Just be yourself."

At times like this, the more you jump, the more miserable your death will be.

But the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince seemed not to understand and continued jumping around as usual.

It was not until the "Eagle Killing Incident" in the 53rd year of Kangxi's reign that Kangxi was furious again and scolded Yinsi for being cunning and his followers for being evil.

According to Shen Jiang, the eldest and the second have already been circled, so since he hates the eighth so much, he might as well circle him as well!

But Kangxi only said something decisive to Yinsi, cutting off his possibility of succeeding to the throne, but did not restrict his actions.

After this, Kangxi often came to Yonghe Palace to sit.

Ever since the Sixth Prince was beaten by the Crown Prince that year, the relationship between Shen Jiang and Kangxi had reached a freezing point. But starting from the fifty-third year, Kangxi softened his attitude.

They were both old, so naturally they wouldn't have any more husband-and-wife affairs. They just had a meal together and talked.

Shen Jiang also softened her attitude and often brought Honghui's son to show up in front of Kangxi. Yes, she was a great-grandmother.

"Today, I have realized that the children you raised are the best!" Kangxi said with emotion.

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "It's the children who are doing well."

Kangxi compared Defei's three sons with each other. The fourth prince was both talented in civil and military affairs, the sixth prince was kind and open-minded, and nothing could be seen about the fourteenth prince for the time being, after all, he was still relatively young.

As for the Thirteenth Prince raised by Concubine De, he was also very outstanding and was the person that Kangxi had planned to leave as the Crown Prince to assist him.

The crown prince had been deposed, and the Thirteenth Prince was on good terms with the Fourth Prince... Kangxi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Thinking this way, all of Defei's sons were outstanding, and they had priority in terms of numbers.

He thought about all his sons from beginning to end, and found that the crown prince could only be chosen from among her sons.

"What is the emperor thinking about?" Shen Jiang peeled an orange and handed it to Kangxi with a smile.

Kangxi came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Nothing." He took the orange and ate a slice. The orange was very sweet, but he could not taste it.

As he got older, his tongue wasn't as sharp as before. In addition, he was always sick in recent years and took a lot of medicine, so his tongue had long been numb.

Is it time to accept your fate?

Kangxi refused to admit it!

Shen Jiang glanced at him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the 57th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the war in the northwest became tense, and the fourteenth prince volunteered to go to the battlefield.

The Sixth Prince began to suffer from illness, often missing his time at home to recuperate because of "chest pain". It was said that this was because the injury he had received from being kicked by the deposed Crown Prince had recurred.

"Maybe it's because I'm too old! Cough cough cough." The Sixth Prince put his fist to his lips and coughed a few times.

Guaerjia glanced at him helplessly. It was okay to pretend outside, but why did he pretend like that at home?

Since the Sixth Prince is "sick", it is natural for his brothers to come and see him.

When the Ninth Prince arrived, the Sixth Prince said something meaningful: "Ninth brother, apart from your status as a prince, you are also a businessman. Tell me, what is the most important thing in doing business?"

The Ninth Prince smiled like Maitreya Buddha and said, "The most important thing in doing business is of course to make money!"

The Sixth Prince said, "That's right. The point of doing business is to make money! But sometimes, when you can't make any money, what's the next best thing? Not to lose money! Don't you think so, Ninth Brother?"

"Brother, there is something else behind your words!"

The Sixth Prince laughed and sat on his recliner, rocking his head as he spoke, "Given the current situation, I don't believe you can't understand. Ninth brother, listen to my advice and don't keep banging your head against the wall. My father once said that you can't put all your eggs in one basket, otherwise, you will lose everything you have."

The Ninth Prince could no longer hold back his smile. He looked at the Sixth Prince steadily and asked with a fake smile, "Is it too late for me to take the eggs out of the basket now?"

"That depends on how many eggs you can come up with," the Sixth Prince said calmly, "My father once said that it is better to be late than never."

The Ninth Prince said meaningfully: "De Fei Ene is a very wise person."

This was indeed his true words. Think about it, in the entire harem, Concubine De gave birth to the most children, and all of their children survived!

Not only did she have many children, but she also raised the Thirteenth Prince, who was very much favored by the Emperor.

If you say this is all luck, then this luck is too good!

The Ninth Prince does not deny luck, but he does not believe in complete luck.

Therefore, he still admired Concubine De very much.

All hopes were placed on the Eighth Prince before, because it was believed that he was extremely intelligent and good at networking, and had won over many court officials.

But now the Ninth Prince found that it was useless to win over the court officials! If he couldn't guess Khan Ama's mind, even if he won over everyone, he would not be recognized by Khan Ama. In fact, because of forming a clique for personal gain, Khan Ama hated him even more.

The Ninth Prince sighed. He was a businessman, so how could he not understand the logic behind this?

But he is already tied to the Eighth Prince. Is it really too late for him to jump off the boat now?

The Ninth Prince was rarely in a state of indecision.

Let’s not worry about the Sixth Prince. His brothers have already made all their arrangements and are only waiting for the final step to push the Fourth Prince onto the throne.

When Kangxi learned that the Sixth Prince was "sick" again, he was angry and helpless. He couldn't expose his son for pretending to be sick!

"He is just lazy!" Kangxi said angrily.

Shen Jiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Old Six was kicked hard back then. I didn't think so before, but Old Six's health has not been very good in recent years."

Kangxi leaned on the couch, closed his eyes and asked, "You have been sent as envoys to Mongolia for more than 13 years, and you stay there for half a year. You rarely come back, right?"

Shen Jiang scolded: "It's all your arrangement, Your Majesty!"

Kangxi sighed: "You guys are playing such a big game of chess!"

Shen Jiang leaned over and massaged his temples, saying softly, "Old Kang, when you get old you have to accept your age, don't you think?"

In the 60th year of Kangxi's reign, Emperor Kangxi appointed his fourth son Yinzhen as the Crown Prince.

In the 61st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Emperor Kangxi passed away and Crown Prince Yinzhen succeeded to the throne. The following year, the reign title was changed to Yongzheng, which was the first year of Yongzheng.
