Shuāngchuān of Demonic Charm Bewitching the Ruler

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...

Chapter 388 Concubine Zhang of the Kangxi Emperor (18)

After all, historically, the reason for the release of Qing was that all of his children almost died.

At least there is still some left.

Emperor Kangxi bestowed upon him the name Cheng Ti.

The character “禔” is often used together with the character “福” to form the phrase “禔福”, which means peace, tranquility and happiness.

The Empress wept every day because of Chenghu's death, like a withered flower.

It was the Hesheli clan outside the palace who delivered the message to the palace.

Perhaps it was the comfort from Hesheli Fujin, or perhaps it was the indifference of the family.

This startled Empress Hesheri from her grief.

"The clan's suggestion is that Her Majesty the Empress recover as soon as possible and have another child. If her health is not good enough, the family can send a daughter from a collateral branch of the family!"

The Hesheli Fujin who came to the palace to pay her respects had no relation to the Empress; she was simply conveying her family's message with a normal expression.

The Empress was also clearly aware of this.

She became empress thanks to her family's good fortune, so she must have some merit.

As for her grief and pain over losing her son, she could only bear it all by herself.

"I understand! There's no need for the household to do anything unnecessary; His Majesty won't be pleased!"

The Empress spoke coldly, and Hesheli Fujin's expression faltered slightly upon hearing her words, but she still nodded in agreement.

Empress Hesheli left the palace after having her meal, while the Empress seemed unable to hold on any longer and fainted softly.

To prevent any rumors from spreading in the palace, Madam Ma kept a close watch on the palace servants, strictly forbidding them from discussing their master's affairs.

The palace maids took turns expressing their opinions before leaving.

Empress Ma felt heartbroken seeing how much more haggard the Empress looked.

In the days that followed, the emperor successively favored six new concubines.

But Shirley was the most favored.

When Emperor Kangxi missed his children, he would go to see Saiyinchahun and Chengti.

One day, Emperor Kangxi took Xue Li to a barbecue.

After hesitating for a while, Shirley hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, I miss my children!"

She has only met her child a few times, even though the child is five years old.

Fortunately, they were enlightened early, so they didn't end up crying like ordinary children.

Emperor Kangxi's brow twitched slightly as he suddenly remembered that his twins could now attend school.

"That's true, they're all grown up now, let them go back to the palace!"

Kangxi made the final decision, and Shirley, being a sycophant, had to step forward and massage his legs.

Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but pinch her cheek: "You little flatterer!"

“She’s clearly a dragon fart sprite!” Xue Li said, pouting her pink lips, and Kangxi couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Two days later, the twins returned to the palace!

Sherry had no time to concern herself with the Queen's feelings.

I was waiting at Cining Palace early in the morning.

After much anticipation, the two little ones finally came in to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress.

After bowing, Ning Chuge quietly raised her eyes to look at everyone.

She didn't panic when everyone saw her; her big eyes crinkled with laughter.

Two cute little tufts on her head, exuding joy.

It looks so appealing.

The Empress Dowager was also pleased to see this and couldn't help but call out, "Come, all of you, come here!"

The two little ones ran over.

Ning Chuge stared intently at the Empress Dowager, after all, the Empress Dowager always dressed simply and elegantly.

The Empress Dowager followed in the footsteps of the Grand Empress Dowager, but today she brought some small toys.

The Queen's smile was quite frightening, and Shirley sat to one side, plotting how to scare her.

I hope she's so scared she has nightmares every night!

"Grandma, you smell so good~" Ning Chuge said in a childish voice.

The sweet, soft-spoken little girl made everyone overlook Chengze.

Chengze remained calm and obediently lay down on the Empress Dowager's lap on the other side.

As the Empress Dowager felt the soft little body on her lap, her eyes couldn't help but redden.

After all, she had no children, her parents and relatives were far away, and she had no husband's affection; she had long been used to it.

Looking at Chengze, she reminded herself that she was still unwilling to accept it.

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, just patted his head and handed him some toys.

"Grandson thanks Grandmother!" Chengze smiled, as if he wanted to give everyone everything to him.

Ma Jia and Ulanara's eyes reddened as they looked at the smile on Chengze's face.

He simply lowered his eyes and remained silent, listening to the child's innocent words.

The Empress couldn't help but pick up Chengze, who smiled and called out, "My dear mother!"

The Empress was well aware of the inner conflict she was experiencing.

She both disliked other people's children and couldn't bear to part with their innocent smiles.

Just like her intelligent and sensible Chenghu.

The two little ones were also good at being charming and coaxing, making the Empress Dowager laugh constantly.

The Empress Dowager chatted with the two little ones for a long time before having Sherry take them back.

They took many gifts with them when they left!

"I've been saving up treasures for Chengze and Ning Chuge all these years!"

"Grandmother!" The two little ones excitedly grabbed the Empress Dowager's hand and shook it.

This moment of family bliss filled the Empress Dowager with immense joy.

"Alright, go back to the palace and get some rest. Don't tire out my precious grandchildren!"

"I've got it!" Xue Li said, skipping and hopping back to the palace with one of them in each hand.

After all, it's not far.

They were detained the whole way.

Back at the palace, Shirley hugged and kissed each of them for a long time.

The already somewhat estranged mother-son relationship took a sharp turn for the worse, galloping off in a completely different direction.

After all, there is a difference between deliberately trying to please someone and genuinely feeling affection for someone close to you.

Sherry didn't mind their slight awkwardness.

After hugging and kissing each other for a long time, the siblings went from being reserved to feeling utterly hopeless.

The palace servants who were serving looked at Shirley with trepidation!

"Master, Master!"

"Master, calm down!"
