Emperor Yongzheng defeated his brothers and ascended the throne, only to die exhausted after thirteen years, leaving behind ambitions unfulfilled. Unwilling to accept this fate, his soul wandered t...
As a result, on the first day after the child was born, the emperor seemed somewhat unhappy during court! Moreover, the emperor did not show much special treatment to the child born to the empress. To be honest, he did not show even half the grandeur when Chenghu was born.
The court officials were also unsure of the Emperor's mysterious actions. It was not that the Emperor had become indifferent to the Empress. During the Empress's postpartum period, the Emperor did not visit other parts of the harem and even stayed overnight at Yongshou Palace from time to time, disregarding the rules.
It's said that the Emperor dotes on the Empress, but ironically, he doesn't treat the children born to the Empress very well.
Of course, this is just the general standard within the royal standard. It doesn't mean that the children aren't treated well enough, but it's not as good as the children of the former queen.
You should know that when the Empress's child, Chenghu, was born, the Emperor was so happy that he announced it to the whole world, and he made it a grand celebration.
The court officials were unsure of the emperor's intentions, so they could only wait and see, making no further statement. After all, the child was still young, and there was plenty of time ahead!
Yunrong was in her postpartum period and knew nothing about these things. The people who served her knew, but no one went back to Yunrong and gossiped about it.
The reactions of the concubines to the Emperor varied. Consort Hui and Consort Rong, for some unknown reason, had a strange confidence that the Emperor's attitude towards the Empress was just so-so, not even as good as the Emperor had been to their children. They even thought to themselves that the Emperor probably wouldn't continue to favor the Empress.
Both of them had children. Before Kangxi was replaced by Yinzhen, he did not necessarily dote on their children, but he was not as "cold" towards them as he is now.
They were even pleased about it, but behind the scenes they made plenty of sarcastic remarks.
They now only hope that the Emperor will soon realize his mistake and stop being misled by the Empress.
None of the women in the harem believed that there was such a thing as unconditional favor in this world. At first, they thought that the emperor's favor towards the empress was just a passing fancy, but gradually they realized that the emperor's favor towards the empress must be due to the empress's remarkable abilities.
