Shen Jiang couldn't just tell the Queen Mother the truth and say that the Emperor fainted because he was given a sterilization drug by the system!

She had a worried look on her face, and her eyes were full of sincerity. She said, "Queen Dowager, please calm down. The emperor is fine. Yesterday, the emperor was having dinner at Xinpin's place, but suddenly he fainted. The imperial physician came to see the emperor and checked the food, incense and other arrangements, but found nothing suspicious. I think the emperor is busy with state affairs and is tired."

Hearing that the emperor was fine, the empress dowager sighed deeply and said, "The emperor is not young anymore. He has to work hard all day long and take care of himself!" After that, she suddenly felt sad and wiped her eyes and said, "If the eldest and second princes were still alive, they would definitely be able to share his worries."

Shen Jiang calculated that if the eldest and second princes were both alive, they would be in their twenties this year.

There was nothing that could be done about the second prince's death, but the eldest prince was forced to death by Qianlong. Who can be blamed? Blame Qianlong himself!

Shen Jiang also took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes: "Who said it wasn't true!"

The nanny beside the Queen Mother hurriedly said, "Don't be sad, Queen Mother, the Queen is still pregnant!"

The Queen Mother said to Shen Jiang, "Yes, you are still pregnant, so you must be careful! By the way, how is the Fifth Princess' health?"

Shen Jiang said: "The Fifth Princess is much better now. Thank you Queen Mother for your concern. The Emperor has given the Fifth Princess a name, Erhe."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "This is a good name. Parents don't expect their children to be very capable. The most important thing is that they grow up safely."

"What the Queen Mother said is true."

The Queen Mother was actually quite nice to Huifa Nara. After all, she had a good family background and was a decent person. She had done her best to take care of the harem and raise children over the years.

Shen Jiang came out of the Cining Palace and asked the system: "Will there be any sequelae to the scumbag dragon?"

System: "No, I just couldn't handle the effect of the drug for that moment. After that, I was just like a normal person, except that I was spermless."

Shen Jiang: "That's good. If he faints again out of the blue, I'll be annoyed to death with so many people questioning me."

Qianlong was also afraid that he really had some problem, so he slept alone in the Yangxin Palace these days. Of course, although he was lonely, his heart was not lonely. He would give dishes to a few concubines he liked at every meal every day.

Shen Jiang's dinner included a bird's nest pot roast chicken and a dish of sliced ​​meat, ham and smoked cabbage given by Emperor Qianlong.

Shen Jiang, who was already half full after eating snacks with the children, said: "..."

The imperial gift must be eaten up, not wasted, and not given to others. If you can't finish it at one meal, save it for the next meal.

Shen Jiang asked her small kitchen to make egg tarts. The two children ate them with gusto. She also ate several herself, so she was not hungry at all.

But since the emperor gave her the dish, she had to eat it. After eating it for a while, she could not eat any more, so she told Shi Liu: "Put it away and eat it tomorrow."

It’s early summer now, so this dish will definitely not be edible tomorrow, and Shen Jiang won’t really eat it.

Erhe hugged Shen Jiang's neck, pressed his chubby face against Shen Jiang's, and asked in a baby voice, "Ernie, when can we eat egg tarts again?"

Shen Jiang kissed her and said with a smile: "If Erhe likes it, we can eat it in two days. I will make potato cakes for Erhe tomorrow, okay?"

Erhe didn’t know what potato cakes were, but Enie’s was sure they were delicious, just like egg tarts.

Shen Jiang specially made the potato cakes into the shape of a smiley face, and Erhe really liked it, but she still liked egg tarts better.

In May, the weather became hotter and hotter, and each palace began to fumigate with moxa and hang five-poison sachets, and gave each other fans, purses, longevity threads and other items.

When Concubine Jia's cough got better, she came to Yiku Palace in person to deliver the Dragon Boat Festival gift to the Empress.

Shen Jiang looked at her thin appearance and said, "You are not in good health, just let the palace maids do these things. It's too hot outside, why do you have to go there in person?"

Concubine Jia said, "I haven't come to pay my respects to the Empress for a while. I've been feeling better these days, so I came to pay my respects to the Master. To be honest, the Master, no matter how hot the sun is outside, you will sweat, but I won't feel any heat at all."

Shen Jiang was startled and asked in a low voice: "What did the imperial physician say about your illness?"

Concubine Jia smiled and said, "It's just a matter of getting by."

Shen Jiang looked at her face calmly, and seeing a hint of blue between her eyebrows, he knew that she was terminally ill and would not live more than half a year.

The two of them were acquaintances but they were very close, so Shen Jiang naturally wouldn't tell her anything personal.

In the past, Imperial Concubine Jia was not too close to Huifa Nara, and they were just maintaining a face relationship between the empress and concubines.

Seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Jia said goodbye and got on the sedan chair. Her maid said in confusion, "The master is feeling better now, why did you have to make this trip?"

Concubine Jia remained silent. She knew that she would not live long, and what she was most worried about was the young Eleventh Prince. She had thought about it carefully these days, and she was afraid that the prince would not live long in the harem after losing his mother.

Isn't this the case with the eldest prince? Even when he grows up, he will be rejected by the emperor because he has no mother to protect him.

She didn't want her children to suffer the same fate, so she wanted to find someone to take care of them before she died.

Above the rank of concubine were Concubine Chun, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ling and the Empress.

Concubine Chun already has two sons and one daughter, so she probably has no time to take care of other children.

Shu Fei had given birth to a son, but he died young, so she was the best candidate. However, Shu Fei was aloof and arrogant, so Concubine Jia looked down on her.

As for Concubine Ling... well, her status is too low and she is not worthy of her child.

After much thought, the only option is the queen.

The queen is the head of the harem and the biological mother of all princes and princesses, and she is supposed to raise their children.

Moreover, although the queen is a bit rigid and rule-abiding, she will not resort to tricks. It's just that the queen has a son and a daughter, and is also pregnant with another child, so it's inevitable that she may not be able to take good care of them.

Concubine Jia was in trouble and didn't know what to do.

Shen Jiang had no idea that she was being targeted again and was preparing to become a mother painlessly. She was happily making rice dumplings with Yongji and Erhe!

Although the dumplings made by the two children were of different sizes and some were even ugly, they all had a lot of fun playing with them.

Erhe wanted to send the wrapped rice dumplings to Qianlong, so Shen Jiang asked the kitchen to cook the rice dumplings, put them in food boxes and send them to the Yangxin Palace.

When Qianlong received the rice dumplings, he heard that they were made by Yongqi and Erhe themselves. No matter how ugly the dumplings were, he couldn't wait to taste two.

"The rice dumplings made by Yongji and Erhe are delicious." Qianlong said with a smile.

Li Yu joined in the fun and said, "The Queen has taught well, and the twelfth prince and the fifth princess are very filial to the emperor."

Qianlong became more and more satisfied, and asked Li Yu to go to the warehouse to pick out a pair of newly fired Doucai Baoxianghua Yunlong pattern ear vases to send to the Yikun Palace.

Shen Jiang looked at the dazzling pair of vases in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Erhe hugged the vase, clapped his hands and laughed happily: "Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Shen Jiang was shocked and said hurriedly, "Grape, quickly put the ear bottle into the storeroom, don't let the princess break it."

Put it away quickly and don't put it outside. It's okay that Zha Zha Long herself has poor aesthetic taste, but don't let her daughter's aesthetic taste be distorted.
