Xueli, a snake demon who had been cultivating diligently in the deep mountains for 500 years, was caught by a passing system just as she was barely surviving a lightning tribulation. She then sough...
"Alright, what are you doing, telling me to stay quietly in the courtyard?" The princess hated the innocent girl's act, which reminded her of her favored concubine from her maternal family. "And you, why are you arguing with her? How old are you?"
Sherry suffered a critical blow to the chest! I'm still a beautiful eighteen-year-old! Humph!
Sherry: This is outrageous! What kind of look is that?!
Sherry puffed out her cheeks in a huff and didn't say a word, while Ulanara turned her head away speechlessly.
"I...I just miss all my sisters!" The delicate and frail Lady Nian looked away, not daring to look directly at the Fujin.
"Well, Your Highness, I haven't finished yet! Consort Nian is in poor health and has recently taken medicine. Although it's not enough to harm the fetus, she should avoid emotional ups and downs. She is already showing signs of miscarriage and should rest more!"
The physician hurriedly gave instructions, fearing that even a second's delay would be too late.
Sherry scoffed, "Going against the wishes of the master and the princess almost hurt the child. The Nian family has excellent upbringing!"
"Oh dear, Sister Li, Sister Nian is just weak and prone to fainting. But Sister Nian is still stronger than us younger sisters. We are all healthy, yet we haven't been able to conceive a child!"
Ma Gege couldn't wait to finish speaking, and then burst into laughter.
She was previously a tea-serving maid in front of Emperor Kangxi, because Consort De said that Yinzhen (Emperor Yongzheng) preferred Han women.
So he bestowed her upon her.
She was just as delicate, fair-skinned, and graceful as Lady Nian.
However, the Nian family had a better background than her and was also more talented.
When Lady Nian first entered the manor, she didn't attack Xue Li, but instead gave her a dressing down.
This really infuriated the Ma family.
At this moment, Sherry wasn't focused on the commotion, but rather on the fact that she had sensed the same poison in Nian Shi!
It's not a problem that she has poison in her body; the problem is that she is clearly poisoned by that poison.
The princess consort arranged for a palanquin to escort Lady Nian back to "Autumn Breeze Garden".
Sherry and the others took their leave!
She glanced at Lady Fucha's courtyard, then looked at the courtyards of the Fujin and Lady Nian, and realized, "So that's how it is!"
So, after most of her life has passed, the Fujin (principal wife) has finally decided to take action against her?!
System: Tsk tsk tsk, how did you know it was just now that it attacked you?
Sherry: That was just minor trouble before.
A certain system: When you gave birth to Hongshi, she brought in medicine that might make you too weak to dilate your cervix.
Sherry: Really? I don't feel anything!
System: Your man stopped her! Otherwise, why do you think she's been so well-behaved for the past ten years?!
Sherry: Ugh, I didn't even get a chance to shine!
System: Get out! Get out!
Sherry returned to the courtyard and studied the secret medicine.
Unfortunately, it's already mixed in with the soil, making it difficult to extract.
While Sherry was still thinking, she heard that Yinzhen had returned.
Yinzhen went to see Lady Nian and punished her head maid, Wanyue, for "disregarding rank and speaking ill of her master."
Because Consort Nian was pregnant, he was only given thirty strokes of the cane and then sent directly back to the Nian family!
Only then did Nian realize Wan Yue's arrogance the previous night, and she fainted in shock.
Yinzhen frowned slightly and arranged for the palace physician to leave.
After all, Ms. Nian often gets dizzy; you'll get used to it!
When Lady Nian woke up and learned of Yinzhen's reaction, she burst into tears again.
Yinzhen ignored all that and reprimanded Nian Gengyao!
Does he need to consider whether his servant is happy before he can do anything?
After all, his palace used to be as peaceful as still water, but now a woman named Nian has caused such a ruckus that she has aroused the public outrage of the women in the inner quarters!
He had that preconceived notion, to the point that he believed Sherry was telling the truth.
It's true that she often feels dizzy.
It is also true that the women in his backyard were unable to defend themselves because of her.
Like master, like servant; it's true that her personal maid spoke arrogantly and showed no respect for hierarchy!
It's a fact that she was pregnant when she had her pet removed!
Yinzhen grew tired of Lady Nian, and when she fell ill, it became an everyday occurrence for everyone.
The difference is that in the previous life, there were few people in the backyard, and the original owner was not very talented, which made Nian Shi stand out as having outstanding talent and a kind heart.
At this moment, Shirley, who had been pampered and spoiled for half her life, had intelligent and healthy children. She had also reconciled with her mother and no longer envied her father's favoritism towards her second brother.
When you are content with your inner life, you will naturally have a good mental outlook!
The biggest problem the manor faced was that Shirley would throw tantrums at him, sometimes looking pitiful, sometimes charming, and sometimes domineering.
She has everything he likes!
Yinzhen, after thinking it over, went to Yaotai Pavilion.
When the princess received the news, she laughed with extreme irony.
Noble ladies from prestigious families don't like her, but they insist on liking Li, a mere pretty face with no substance!
You can't even put an eye drop properly, you're just a firecracker!
However, it won't be long!
A month later, Fucha was pregnant, but Xue Li was still lively and energetic.
Ms. Nian was bedridden with illness, and the medicine she drank to prevent miscarriage made her look much fuller.
She was afraid that getting out of bed would make the pregnancy unstable, so she stayed quietly in bed. Then she received news from her brother: military merits, a prince, the future…
Thinking of this, Nian felt a surge of warmth in her heart and began to feed the medicine bowl after bowl.
When Ulanara learned that the pot of black chrysanthemums had withered, she was somewhat disheartened!
They perked up and switched to a different secret medicine.
These were all given to her by her mother; only a family like theirs would have such things!
The Li family? I've probably never even heard of them.
It's not that I haven't heard of it. If I had, how could I have lost my child in my past life and only had an idiot left?
Of course, Hongshi in this life is still not very smart.
But he's not stupid, just naive and has a strong sense of brotherhood!
Yinzhen's only wish for him was that he would be safe and healthy!
Hongshi had the best relationship with his uncles and cousins; there was no one he couldn't play with or coax.
Sherry suddenly remembered something and dug out the toys from the secret realm.
Hongshi happily began innovating and inventing, and even dragged his most successful money-maker, Uncle Jiu, into it with him.
The Ninth Prince had mixed feelings about the Eighth Prince towards Yinzhen.
But making money is something that can't be delayed!
Then Lao Jiu gave each of his nephews and nieces a set and opened his first toy store.
Hongshi earned his first pot of gold by clinging to Lao Jiu's coattails.
He didn't like dealing with businessmen because he couldn't understand the unspoken meaning behind their words.
It was only after Uncle Nine explained it to him in detail that he understood.
However, he liked carpentry, and neither Yinzhen nor Xue Li stopped him. Xue Li even gave him a lot of support and all sorts of ideas!
Hongshi was extremely excited!
Yinzhen also found him a tutor and books, and even took him for a stroll through the manufacturing depot and the Imperial Household Department.
On the way, they met Emperor Kangxi, who was quite fond of Hongshi's purity!
Such innocence is rare!
Most people have their own agendas, but either they lack the ability to support their ambitions, or they don't use their intelligence for the right things!
As luck would have it, he adored both of his fourth sons: one was intelligent and composed, a born politician; the other was naive and simple-minded, with a sharp tongue that went straight to the anus.
"By the way, I remember you have a second son?"
"Yes, his name is Hongyun, and his martial arts skills are much better than yours back then!" Yinzhen did not hold back in praising his son.
