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...
Spicy strips, dried meat, beef jerky, fish tofu, milk tofu, stinky tofu, spicy duck necks, spicy duck wings, spicy chicken feet, dried fruit, canned fruit, small fruit juices...
Sherry: Ahhhhhh, humans are so smart!
"By the way, Mother, Ninth Brother ate the snacks you gave me last time, and now he insists on dragging me to open a shop to make money!"
Sherry nodded, saying she'd get used to it; it wasn't the first time.
"Sigh, he gave all the money he earned to the myna bird. I should learn from him how to trick so many people out of money with just my words!"
Yinzhen fell into deep thought.
Sherry: This is talent!
"You're not bad either. In a way, you were raised on the charity of many families!"
Sherry rolled her eyes at him.
Sherry fed them elixirs to strengthen their bodies and improve their intelligence.
He's fine with anything, he'll eat anywhere.
Even the Ninth Prince was very envious, and insisted on going with him to eat all over the palace.
When they were young, they had visited the palaces of several empresses, not to mention the Empress Dowager and Gao Wa, who watched them grow up.
The concubines in the palace were bored and happy to see them go out of their way to freeload.
Sherry didn't care. After all, if something could happen in the palace, it meant that someone's whole family didn't want to live anymore.
Some people have indeed given them things.
To put it simply, it refers to seasonings and ingredients that have both positive and negative interactions.
Yinzhen felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach after eating, but after taking a nap and going to the latrine, he felt better.
The eighth, ninth, and tenth children were in a terrible state, suffering from vomiting, diarrhea, and persistent high fever.
The key point is that the restaurant we ate at was recommended by Lao Ba.
Since Yinzhen was fine, it was his doing that the Eighth Prince and his brothers were being sarcastic and malicious.
None of the brothers believed him, and Yinzhen even openly mocked the Eighth Prince, making the Eighth Prince extremely embarrassed.
Of course, Sherry wouldn't have known about this.
It was Yinzhi who came to tell him that he knew nothing about this matter and that it had nothing to do with him.
But others don't know this, after all, the Eighth Prince was raised by Consort Hui and was a natural member of the First Prince's faction.
Yinzhi was extremely frustrated, and it was on that occasion that he realized the Eighth Prince's ulterior motives.
What upset him even more was that, upon further investigation, he discovered that even his close advisors were his brother's people.
Perhaps in later history, Prince Zhi was imprisoned and said that the Eighth Prince had been examined by a fortune teller who said that he was of immeasurable nobility!
This can be considered his last stand before his death.
After all, he always treated others as followers, while they saw him as a ladder to heaven.
As expected, Lao Ba also suffered a great misfortune.
History always repeats itself.
At this moment, Shirley looked at her eldest daughter with a touch of melancholy.
A Mongolian prince residing in Beijing wanted to marry Murdenge.
Kangxi was reluctant to part with her, perhaps because she had been lively, cheerful, and healthy since childhood.
Moreover, he has dabbled in equestrian skills and other related areas.
Emperor Kangxi did criticize his sons, including Murdenge.
His daughter is now of marriageable age, but he just can't bear to let her get married.
Sherry wasn't asking her what she meant.
"So, do you want to marry someone from the capital or Mongolia?" Sherry remained in the same position, lazily reclining in the rocking chair.
“Anything is fine!” Muldeng replied sweetly.
"Do you have a favorite young man?" Sherry asked, her mouth smelling her eldest daughter's breath, but her mind was completely blank, which was particularly energy-efficient.
"have!"
"who?"
“XXX, XXX, XX, XXX, XXX, XX—” Muldeng recited it like a fast-paced storyteller, and it was quite rhythmic.
"Wait, is this one person or a group of people?" Sherry couldn't maintain her lazy and calm demeanor and suddenly sat up.
“Several of them, I like them all!” Muldeng said with great seriousness.
Sherry: Why am I not a princess, yet I can be so blatant?
Shirley ignored her and leaned back lazily again.
"Mother... are you angry?" Murdeng asked cautiously.
"No, it's just difficult! I feel that even as a princess, you can't have everything you want unless they're willing to be your concubines."
After thinking for a while, Shirley decided that perhaps Kangxi should leave early.
After Yinzhen ascended the throne, he followed her.
"Wow! Mother, you're so funny, hehehe..." Muldeng suddenly laughed, "I was just kidding!"
"What a coincidence, I was just teasing you too~" Sherry rolled her eyes at her and ignored her.
Then Muldeng spent a long time cuddling with her before leaving.
It was only a few days later that Sherry discovered the twins were whispering to each other.
I don't know about other things, but Yinzhen was granted the title of Prince He and was betrothed to a princess of the Suochuoluo clan, and a secondary consort of the Lijia clan.
Well, the Suochuoluo clan is an old family, but there weren't many prominent figures in the previous dynasty.
In comparison, the Li family received much more favor.
Sherry felt that this scene was very similar to the way Emperor Kangxi bestowed a marriage upon his fifth son.
Xue Li bestowed generous rewards upon Suochuoluo and also gave a reward to Li Jia, which was quite proper.
He repeatedly instructed Yinzhen.
"Don't take your anger out on your wife; blame yourself!"
Sherry stared at him menacingly, as if to say she would beat him up if he dared to cause trouble.
Yinzhen looked speechless: "Mother, how could I blame the Fujin? I'm not that shallow! Besides, I've met her; she's a very gentle and dignified woman!"
Shirley was relieved to see no reluctance in his eyes.
"Hurry up and let's go meet our future wife!"
Sherry rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
She was even more puzzled about her eldest daughter's marriage when she saw Kangxi walk in with his hands behind his back.
Kangxi stared blankly at Xue Li's crossed-leg posture. Xue Li was stunned for a while before she came to her senses and pretended nothing was wrong, putting her legs down.
She smiled gently and considerately at Emperor Kangxi, and sat with elegance and poise.
Emperor Kangxi thought he had just misread the words, so he didn't say anything else and started talking about Murdeng's marriage.
"Murdeng is still young. Besides, twins are an auspicious sign for our Great Qing Dynasty, so of course they should stay in the Great Qing! Murdeng said he wanted to go out and travel, so I grant his request!"
As Kangxi spoke, he looked at her.
Sherry nodded and looked away.
Yinzhi was better looking; he was handsome, had a good figure, and was well-behaved, just like a German Shepherd.
She looks imposing, but she can also be cute!
Emperor Kangxi sat for a short while and then left.
Sherry is missing her big dog again.
They tacitly avoided discussing state affairs, but Yinzhi mentioned more than once that he wanted her to get pregnant.
Sherry ignored him; even Kangxi wasn't strolling around the harem anymore. Besides, she didn't want to touch him just to register her child's birth.
Yinzhi himself understood this, so he had no choice but to keep quiet about it.
However, she treated Yinzhen and his siblings even better.
Five years later, Emperor Kangxi deposed Yinreng from his position as crown prince three years earlier than in history.
Why is that?
Firstly, it was something that Kangxi always held a grudge about.
In July of the 29th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1690), on the eve of the Battle of Ulan Butong, the Kangxi Emperor fell ill on his way to the border and ordered the Crown Prince and the third prince, Yinzhi, to rush to his aid.
When Yinreng arrived at the temporary palace and saw his father's ailing appearance, he showed no sign of worry. Kangxi concluded that this son had no loyalty to his father and emperor and sent him back to Beijing first.
Yinreng, who was only 16 years old at the time, may not have realized his father's dissatisfaction, but Kangxi believed that this showed that the crown prince was unfilial and unfit for important positions.
