"Qiqige, aren't you feeling unwell?"

"Why should I be upset?" Sherry looked at him with a "Are you okay?" expression.

Ao Bai carefully examined her eyebrows and eyes, noticing her disdainful little eyes.

He couldn't resist kissing her fiercely.

"Qiqige, as long as I'm here, I'll cherish you, love you, and respect you!"

"Hmm, if you can talk, then talk more!" Sherry said softly, hugging his neck.

Ao Bai, holding the person, began to pound the banana leaves in the rain!

Before we knew it, it was the end of the year.

On the second day of the twelfth month of the eleventh year of the Shunzhi reign (1654), Princess Wusu gave birth to the fourth daughter of the Shunzhi Emperor.

Historically, the little girl only lived to be seven or eight years old.

Sherry directly raised the rank of Wusu and warned the servants to be devoted to the little princess.

Although the Empress Dowager didn't particularly care for her granddaughter, she was satisfied with Shirley's actions.

Shunzhi looked at Xue Li with a complicated expression.

When Wusu received the news, she was so excited that she almost cried.

On December 20th of the same year, Gegeba gave birth to the fifth daughter of Emperor Shunzhi.

The little girl also died at the age of six or seven.

Speaking of which, the princesses of the Qing Dynasty were truly pitiful.

Whether to raise them or not is a matter of debate; they finally raised them to adulthood and then sent them off for marriage.

They rarely smiled, especially if they encountered a nanny who tormented them...

Tsk!

With that thought in mind, Sherry gave the order again.

Both were rewarded for producing offspring, and both were promoted in rank.

Only the princess's servants were included in the assessment.

Those who didn't do their job properly were dealt with directly.

As a result, some lackeys who were arrogant and domineering were indeed discovered.

They bullied the young princess because she was too young and naive, and they bullied the concubines because they were out of favor...

Sherry dealt with them decisively, and they were all driven out of the palace crying and screaming.

Emperor Shunzhi arranged for Aobai to help her.

To express an attitude.

After all, it's true that the Empress doesn't manage affairs and has no power, so who would take her words to heart?

The Empress Dowager's feelings were much more complicated.

This happened in the harem she managed.

She inexplicably felt her face burning.

They also arranged for Sumalagu to make a trip.

However, when I'm alone, I can't help but suspect the Empress's sinister intentions.

Is it possible that the Empress wants to seize control of the palace from her?!

The Empress Dowager's expression turned slightly cold.

If she had just asked openly, she might have given it to her, but these underhanded tactics made her uncomfortable.

"Qiqige is indeed more suited to be an empress than I am. At least, I have no interest in worrying about other people's children!"

Consort Jing, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up while looking at the sky outside the window.

The Empress Dowager had long been used to it.

Since being deposed and demoted to Consort Jing, Consort Jing has been indifferent to everyone.

The Empress Dowager thought to herself, "Who isn't like that?!"

But she couldn't say those words.

"Are we too idle?" That's exactly what the Empress Dowager was thinking.

Otherwise, why would you worry about all those trivial things?

"Qiqige has a pure and innocent heart, but I wonder how much she can retain it after staying in the palace for so long!"

As Consort Jing spoke, she gave a perfunctory bow and turned to leave.

The Empress Dowager's face turned rather ugly with anger.

She probably wanted to talk about her manners, though!

However, as expected, she will definitely bow, but her expression will look strange and unsettling.

They're all debt collectors!

The Empress Dowager was too lazy to think about it.

After all, if she keeps thinking about it, she'll just be sulking by herself.

Sherry's actions made the concubines even more grateful to her.

And one by one they began to vie for favor.

After all, the Empress was tolerant of them and their children.

They always need someone to rely on.

Moreover, having children and rising in rank will make their lives even better.

It can help the mother's clan even more.

Emperor Shunzhi was able to experience the warmth and hospitality of his concubines for the first time in a long time.

After enjoying it for four or five days, I was starting to feel overwhelmed.

He scolded everyone with a dark face, and finally simply hid in Kunning Palace.

Ao Bai's expression was not good, and he lowered his head sullenly after being glared at by Xue Li.

But when Shunzhi held that collection of poems, he didn't think of the Empress Dowager or Sherry.

Rather, it was his confidante, Lady Dong'e.

The emperor was lost in his thoughts.

Seeing his wandering thoughts, Shirley decided to let Lady Dong'e enter the palace ahead of schedule.

It's likely that Ao Bai would have agreed.

The Emperor and Empress slept for the first time.

Emperor Shunzhi was somewhat surprised that the Empress hadn't ridden him.

No matter how puzzled he was, Sherry was too lazy to deal with him.

Her relationship with Ao Bai was just a fling.

With him?!

It's just a talking toy, nothing interesting.

Fortunately, Shunzhi was unaware of what Sherry was thinking and was directly plunged into darkness.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ao Bai held onto Xue Li tightly and refused to let go!

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten your servant now that you have the Emperor?" Ao Bai put on a pitiful expression.

Sherry was quite shocked.

"Are you sick?!" Sherry kicked him.

"If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I will accept it. After all, I am Your Majesty's 'dog' servant!"

As Ao Bai spoke, he deliberately emphasized the word "dog."

"Be gentle, ah—" Sherry was drenched in sweat, her shadow swaying in the candlelight.

"But Her Majesty likes it very much, listen!" Ao Bai was now full of pride, laughing happily and wildly.

"You bastard! Mmm~" Sherry softly leaned on his shoulder, which only made Ao Bai more impatient.

"Yes, this servant is a bastard, but I am still Your Majesty's only lover, okay?!" Ao Bai became more and more lewd as he spoke.

Sydney has rarely met her match.

That sentence jolted me awake.

"Then, when will you accompany me on horseback rides in the wilderness, my lord?"
