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...
The original owner was a qualified crown princess, but she was not favored by the crown prince.
The Crown Prince only treated her with respect because Emperor Kangxi valued the Crown Princess.
At this time, because the original owner had been observing mourning for several years.
The Crown Prince had long harbored feelings for his concubine, Lady Li.
Li Jia was beautiful and charming, so she was a dignified Crown Princess. She had her husband's respect, but not his affection.
Even if she was well-educated and reasonable, she still had to watch her husband dote on other women every day.
She also had to maintain the dignity and composure expected of a legal wife.
His mood was constantly gloomy, and coupled with the ups and downs that followed, he passed away in April of the 57th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1718).
When Lady Guarjia passed away, Emperor Kangxi praised her as "virtuous and filial, kind and gentle by nature, and a dutiful wife to Yinreng for many years."
It was still done according to the standards for a crown princess.
This can be considered a sorrowful expression after death.
Shirley got up to wash and change, listening to the servants around her talking about what the Crown Prince had done and where he had gone yesterday...
The original owner's wet nurse, Wang, glanced at Xue Li, then at Ying Bai, who was chattering away.
Finally, he laughed and started talking about the Third Princess!
Sherry also curved her lips into a smile.
But I feel a little tired!
The original owner was completely different from her; every move she made was as if it had been measured with a ruler.
Sherry felt it was necessary for her to replace a few of the servants who left the palace.
It's so depressing!
However, to be fair, these people were all trained by their families from a young age, and each of them is very talented and useful.
Sydney is a little reluctant! Let's make the changes gradually then.
It's completely anti-snake, no, anti-human.
Sherry glanced at the dowry members with a hint of resentment.
After breakfast, Shirley played with the little girl for a while.
Because the young girl was Kangxi's granddaughter, she still had some status. Kangxi bestowed upon her the name Wuergong'e, which means joy.
While they were playing, a woman from the backyard came to pay her respects.
At this moment, in the Crown Prince's backyard, there were Consort Li Jia, Consort Lin Jia, Consort Cheng Jia, and Consort Xiao Li Jia.
There were also concubines of humble origin, including Consort Tang and Consort Wang.
Sherry looked at the legendary Lady Li Jia and felt a strange sense of sympathy for her.
Even though Li Jia arrived late, Shirley didn't mind at all.
After all, in history, Lady Lijia gave birth to Yinreng's eldest son in the 30th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.
After that, Lady Da Li Jia gave birth to three more children.
If we calculate by year, Lady Da Lijia gave birth to four children in four years, from the 30th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign to the 33rd year.
They are Yinreng's eldest son, eldest daughter, second daughter, and second son.
Moreover, both daughters died young, and the eldest son also passed away.
It's interesting that the eldest son, who was born first, survived, but the two daughters who were born later did not.
Who wouldn't love their daughter? So, just think about it and you'll know how little care they have for her.
Or perhaps it was the work of other princes or powerful ministers?
It's unlikely, after all, the Crown Prince is in Yuqing Palace, which is Kangxi's territory...
That's why Shirley felt that her two daughters hadn't been properly cared for and therefore hadn't gotten pregnant.
Moreover, Li Jia's fertility situation was even more exaggerated than that of Consort Hua's historical prototype, Lady Nian.
She not only gave birth to four children in a row, but she also averaged one child per year!
Li Jia, with her ability to give birth, certainly had the confidence to challenge Shirley.
Emperor Kangxi loved his two grandsons as well, because he also loved them the most.
Li Jiashi, who had initially been somewhat smug, suddenly felt a little guilty upon noticing Shirley's sympathetic gaze.
Please sit down at the lower seat, I feel somewhat uneasy.
Sherry truly admires her.
However, it was just a pose she deliberately put on in front of the original owner.
Having multiple pregnancies will definitely cause damage to your body.
In the harems of the princes, the number of women was the largest compared to that of the crown prince!
Li Jiashi looked quite pleased with herself because of her two sons when she saw Xue Li.
Sherry's soul saw it; the maid who served her yesterday was the one she had chosen.
If she hadn't cried so bitterly, the Crown Prince would have promoted that palace maid.
She wanted the palace maid to secure her favor, yet she was also jealous of the palace maid who was younger and more beautiful than her.
Therefore, she adopted the posture of a palace maid betraying her master, which earned her the prince's guilt and pity.
However, she was unwilling, but Sherry was!
Anyone can be disgusting.
The palace maid knelt in Li Jia's courtyard without resting after serving the emperor.
"Wang Mama, make the arrangements. Chun Tao is very capable in serving the Crown Prince. Select a few palace maids to serve him, and you can arrange the inner quarters!"
"This servant obeys!" Granny Wang paused, then bowed and left.
An embarrassment flashed across Li Jia's face.
Sherry waved her hand, too lazy to mock her, and dismissed the women.
Speaking of which, Yuqing Palace is located between Fengxian Hall and Zhaigong Palace.
The palace interior is exquisitely decorated, especially the rear hall, which is divided into several small rooms by partitions. The doors are either real or fake, and the design is ingenious, earning it the nickname "mini maze".
Yuqing Palace is a complex of buildings consisting of rectangular courtyards, with a total of four courtyards.
The main hall, Yuqing Palace, is located in the third courtyard. It is an "工"-shaped building, with both the front and rear halls having a width of 5 bays and a depth of 3 bays, and the roof is a hip roof covered with yellow glazed tiles.
The front eaves of the main hall have a door in the central bay, while the side bays and end bays have sill windows. The rear eaves have a corridor connecting to the rear hall.
The front eaves of the rear hall are connected to the passageway, and the eaves of the corridor are fitted with small wooden doors. The side rooms and end rooms have slatted windows, and the rear eaves are all slatted windows.
In Yuqing Palace, apart from the Crown Prince and Xue Li residing in the main hall, the other concubines, princesses, and secondary consorts lived in the surrounding side halls and rooms.
Sherry is very satisfied!
But seeing Chengshan's palace affairs, he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Yes, Emperor Kangxi valued her highly; a crown princess managed the harem as a prospective empress.
Sherry let out a soft sigh.
Sherry: System, it's all yours now!
System: Are you kidding me?
Sherry: I feel sleepy just looking at it!
System: You are a talented queen!
Sherry: Let's embarrass ourselves together!
Sherry looked at the ledger listlessly, and finally handed it to the original owner's two head maids, Yuebai and Chabai, one copy each.
Then he lazily looked out the window.
The palace maids had no idea; they only thought that Shirley was feeling sad and heartbroken.
Sherry remained in one position, lost in thought, for a long time.
Suddenly, I heard Bi Bai's voice greeting me.
Sherry snapped out of her daze and saw an arrogant and aloof man looking down at her with a stern face.
Sherry snapped out of her daze and looked up at him.
Hmm, good-looking, with a great demeanor and upright posture, but there's that air of arrogance about him...
This demonstrates the great favor that Emperor Kangxi bestowed upon him!
It is indeed quite glaring.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Shirley rose gracefully and bowed.
The Crown Prince seemed to want to say something, but after looking at Shirley for a long time, he didn't say anything.
After drinking a bowl of tea, he hesitated before speaking.
"Your Highness, you are the noble Crown Princess, why bother arguing with them?"
Sherry was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yinreng.
Yinreng looked away and continued drinking his tea.
