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...
"Mother, I want to be like Father Emperor!"
Sherry: "Yes, you can do it. You're already excellent! Women are never inferior to men. Those who regard women as appendages of men are only doing so because the rules are set by men!"
These words would inevitably reach Kangxi's ears, but Shirley paid no attention to them.
What she cared about was what her eldest daughter had just blurted out.
"Of course, daughters are no less than men! Daughters wish to have three wives and four concubines, just like Father Emperor and Brother Emperor!"
Sherry: *sobs* I want to too! (???)
"Mother supports you! Take as many concubines as you want!" Xue Li blurted out, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Absurd!" Kangxi strode in, his finger trembling as he pointed at Xue Li.
"Why should she? My daughter is a legitimate princess of the Qing Dynasty, doesn't she have the right to choose her own life?" For the first time, Shirley's face fell as she glared at Kangxi.
Kangxi was so angry that he was speechless. He only realized today how big his empress's heart was!
Changchun laughed and said it was just a joke, that she was deliberately teasing her mother.
Evergreen also joined in to comfort and amuse.
The matter was left unresolved.
After the family finished their dinner, the Emperor and Empress went to bed. Kangxi turned his back to her, ignoring her!
Sherry: You're ignoring me. I'm ignoring you too! Humph! ╯^╰
As a result, Sherry became angrier and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.
In a fit of rage, I got up in the middle of the night and forced myself on Kangxi again! Oh, and I even tied a big bow on his head!
Kangxi: What a delightful trouble!
It seems the matter is over, and Changchun has started to go out to sea more often!
As a result, several years have passed, and he has rarely returned to Changchun!
She gave him a lot of gifts and cultivated a group of people, some of whom were her suitors.
Emperor Kangxi, thinking that the princess was getting on in years and still had no husband, began to relentlessly urge her to return.
When she returned, Princess Changchun was with four men and two children!
And she came as the Queen of the "Star and Moon Kingdom"!
Kangxi: ⊙▽⊙
Evergreen: Pretending to be stunned!
Sherry was so excited she almost burst out laughing, but she tried hard to control the smile on her face.
But judging from her expression, Kangxi knew that she had been pretending for nothing.
When Emperor Kangxi re-examined this daughter for the first time, his eyes were filled with complex emotions and satisfaction!
The father and daughter went to the Qianqing Palace to discuss important matters.
The Crown Prince entertained...his brothers-in-law.
"That's right, she's my daughter! Hahahaha..."
Shirley stood guard at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace, fearing that Emperor Kangxi would reprimand his daughter, and listened to the sounds through the door.
The guards outside and Liang Jiugong pretended not to see the Empress eavesdropping, their expressions complicated as they looked at the sky, the ground, and the air.
As a result, everyone outside could hear Kangxi's loud laughter.
Sherry was somewhat surprised, and she almost fell in as the door suddenly opened!
Faced with the exceptionally elegant Emperor Kangxi and the composed and dignified Changchun, Shirley felt inexplicably guilty...
Kangxi helped the Empress, who almost fell in, and then looked at Changchun, who had a stern and composed demeanor.
Emperor Kangxi felt that his empress had never really grown up! (-ι_- )
Changchun looked at her mother and smiled with doting tenderness.
Sherry: Isn't there something wrong with your eyes?
System: Ahhhhhh, our little princess is so cool!
Sydney: Don't you even know who gave birth to you?!
System: What's it to you? You're really good at patting yourself on the back! (¬_¬)
Sherry: I know you're envious and jealous, but it's okay, because I'm a winner in life!
A certain system: I'm speechless!
Sherry was caught red-handed and felt a little embarrassed, so she pretended to look at the sky and the ground.
I just don't dare to look at Emperor Kangxi.
The guards and eunuchs around them all hid to the side, remaining silent.
Kangxi reluctantly withdrew his imposing manner, playfully pinched her nose, took her hand, and led his wife and children back to Yongshou Palace!
Later, Emperor Kangxi, the Queen, and the Crown Prince discussed various observations and experiences regarding cooperation and establishing diplomatic relations.
Shirley was completely confused, and in the end she went to play with her grandson.
It only took a few days for the court officials to go from initial opposition to surprise to disbelief.
What's even more interesting is that several suitors are still waiting for Princess Changchun.
Changchun did not refuse, but simply explained that she already had a husband.
As a result, when Changchun left half a month later, he took two handsome young men from the capital with him. Their family head was furious but helpless.
Emperor Kangxi didn't care either; after all, he couldn't control other people's youthful infatuation, could he?
The youngest child went off to study the various trinkets her older sister had brought her.
They also gave me a lot of blueprints, tools, and weapons in return.
Emperor Kangxi pretended not to see it. His grandmother once said, "One who is neither deaf nor foolish cannot be a good father-in-law."
The older he gets, the more he understands that saying!
Time flies, and the children have all grown up, started their own families, and become fathers themselves.
The emperor and empress always got along well.
In the 45th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1706), the Kangxi Emperor abdicated and became the Retired Emperor.
Changrong ascended the throne, and his reign title was Changsheng!
Changsheng: Chang means prosperity and flourishing; Sheng means strength and growth. This reign title signifies an era of national prosperity and national strength.
Because Shirley's position was secure and the triplets had made outstanding contributions, her brothers no longer had any desire to seize the throne.
Baoqing was indeed swayed by Mingzhu and considered it.
The result was that Evergreen pointed to the surrounding small countries on the map, and the distant mountains and rivers!
Tell him that he wants to conquer and expand, and that in the future all nations will pay tribute to him!
Baoqing had always loved fighting on the battlefield, and the Crown Prince's promises to him made him feel excited.
Finally, he told Consort Hui that he had neither the ability nor the talent; he only wanted to fight on the battlefield!
