That evening, Shirley received a belated punishment from Yinzhen!

All Sydney did was scream and cry.

Another voice kept asking her, "Is that enough? Do you want more? Compared to the 23-year-old Yinzhen, who is more capable?!"

Sherry was so tired that she kept groaning, but she obediently said a lot of things he wanted to hear and signed a lot of unequal treaties!

Sherry herself wouldn't admit it, because she was asleep!

Sherry: I don't know, and I didn't sign or put my fingerprint on it!

System: I don't know about anything else, but your skin is really too thick!

Sherry: You choose, which is better, being shameless or being thick-skinned?

A certain system: So you're just sticking the left side to the right? Are you really that shameless? Do you have any shame at all?

Sherry: No, you didn't!

System: Ha! I'd be a bear if I paid you any attention!

Sherry: Have you no shame?!

A certain system: Beep beep beep beep beep beep—

Sydney is in a wonderful mood today!

She'd made up her mind; from now on, she'd use force! By draining him dry beforehand, he wouldn't have the energy to overthink things or indulge in fantasies! Perfect!

Yinzhen didn't know, he only knew that Xue Li looked at him and smiled sweetly.

It was truly sweet; Shirley was flipping through the newly acquired erotic pictures, page after page! She'd just turn to whichever page she found! Wasn't this more interesting than flipping cards?

Moreover, the children are lively and adorable, and the eldest princess is also quite well-mannered! Hongyun is healthy and well, and Yinzhen is quite satisfied!

Five years later, in the 48th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1709), Yinzhen was granted the title of Prince Yong of the First Rank!

Because he often ate and slept with Shirley, Shirley's tea and soup were always made with Lingquan water.

Yinzhen's health was always good.

The following year, when the epidemic was expected, no one was infected.

However, based on her own experience, Sherry still managed to get a good remedy from her family!

This effectively prevented more people from getting infected!

Sherry: Good deeds!

In September of the 47th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1708), the emperor summoned his court officials to his temporary palace, announced the crimes of Crown Prince Yinreng, and ordered Yinreng to be imprisoned and sent to the capital for confinement. The deposed Crown Prince Yinreng was then promulgated throughout the empire.

In October of the same year, at a meeting of ministers, the eighth prince, Yinzhi, was regarded as a rival by Emperor Kangxi and other princes because he had shown a strong desire and actions to succeed to the throne.

Emperor Kangxi summoned his court officials to deliberate on whether Yinzhi had committed the crime of seeking the throne.

The result of the review was that he was found guilty of seeking the throne. Due to the seriousness and complexity of the issue of imperial succession within the Qing court, Yinzhi was ultimately stripped of his title of Beile.

In November of the same year, the third prince, Yinzhi, accused the eldest prince, Yinti, of cursing the crown prince. Emperor Kangxi was furious and immediately stripped Yinzhi of his title of Prince Zhi and imprisoned the eldest prince.

In the first month of the 48th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1709), the Kangxi Emperor summoned all the court officials to interrogate who had led the proposal to make Yinzhi the crown prince, and they were eventually released.

In March of the same year, Yinreng was reinstated as crown prince, and a proclamation was made to the ancestral temple and the whole country.

In October of the same year, the princes were granted the titles of Prince or Beile.

Among them, the fourth prince, Yinzhen, was named Prince Yong; the fifth prince, Yinqi, was named Prince Heng; and the seventh prince, Yinyou, was named Prince Chun.

In the same year, the Yuanmingyuan Garden was bestowed upon Prince Yong, Yinzhen.

In November of the 51st year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1712), he deposed the crown prince again to inform the ancestral temple and proclaim it to the world.

In the 52nd year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1713), a selection of consorts was held in the palace, part of whom were chosen as primary consorts for the emperor's grandsons. This included Honghui and Hongyun.

When Shirley received Yinzhen's message, she was a little stunned. Her little darling was getting married?!

"You're not kidding?" Sherry looked horrified; her eldest son was still so young!

Uh, is 16 still okay these days?

"What are you joking about? He's reached the age! This is because Father Emperor wanted to pick a good one for him and spent two more years choosing!" Yinzhen skillfully pinched her cheek.

Strangely enough, Emperor Kangxi was particularly fond of Honghui, which made Yinzhen act even more Buddhist and often take Xueli out to play!

Among them, he frequently visits the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan).

Initially, Emperor Kangxi felt that the western suburbs of Beijing had a unique terrain, beautiful scenery, and excellent feng shui.

After Emperor Kangxi returned from his southern tour, he built the "Changchun Garden" on the original site of Tsinghua Garden, using the remaining rocks and water features of Tsinghua Garden, imitating the landscape of Jiangnan, as a detached palace for him to escape the summer heat and hold court in the suburbs.

North of Changchun Garden lies Yuanmingyuan, a garden bestowed upon Yinzhen by Emperor Kangxi. Initially, Yuanmingyuan covered an area of ​​no more than 300 mu.

The Yuanmingyuan was named by the Kangxi Emperor.

"Yuanming" was the Buddhist name that Yinzhen always used. Yinzhen was a devout Buddhist, calling himself "Layman Yuanming," and had a deep understanding of Buddhism.

The garden isn't very big right now, but it's definitely a perfect place to escape the summer heat!

The couple went every year, and in recent years they have been going more and more frequently, since Yinzhen wanted to study farming.

Sydney also thoughtfully bought a lot of rare seeds and seedlings from traveling merchants.

Includes tomatoes and papayas. The potatoes were bought from that system's in-game store! -5 points.

Not to mention Yinzhen's excitement over the repeated research on yield, Xue Li often persuaded him to go to other countries to find fresh vegetables, fruits and grains!

Otherwise, how could the people be starving?!

Yinzhen must have fallen for her. It wouldn't matter if she didn't, she has a son!

It's more fun to boss my son around!

Now, the couple has started a new round of discussions!

"But getting married and having children too early is not good, for both the mother and the child!" Sherry said with some sadness.

Yinzhen thought about it carefully and realized it was true. Not to mention his brothers, even his father, the Emperor, had lost many of his earliest princes and princesses.

Yinzhen fell into deep thought!

"You can choose one for the eldest princess. It would be best if she came from a simple family with good family traditions, and it would be even better if she could only take a concubine if she was forty years old without a son! Or if she's not in a hurry, she can wait a little longer. A young lady can only be comfortable in her parents' home for a few days!" Shirley was a hundred times glad that she didn't have a daughter!

But she was actually quite good to Moyaqi; at least she taught her to be lively and healthy!

Yinzhen looked at her with some surprise, then thought about it and realized it was the right thing to do! He then proceeded to make the arrangements.

"Tan'er is so thoughtful!" It was unclear whether Yinzhen's words were a compliment or an insult.

Sherry took it as a compliment.

"Let's call Li Shi and the eldest princess over; we need to ask her what she thinks!" Shirley glanced at Mu Mian.

The little girl went out.

"Hongzhao and Hongjing, I'm thinking of arranging their marriages during the next imperial concubine selection!" Yinzhen said, pouring Xue Li a bowl of milk tea.

Sherry's pupils dilated in shock: "You know what you're doing!"

Sherry thought about how terrifying it was that the original owner of this body got married at that age!

Yinzhen had also thought of this, and tentatively asked Xue Li, "Should we arrange concubines or secondary wives for them?"

"You'd better tell Father Emperor not to bestow the title yet. What kind of order is that?! If the Princess Consort is already a concubine or secondary consort before even entering the mansion, won't everything be in chaos? Isn't that how strife in the inner court starts?!" Shirley was a little angry. Serves him right for being so relentless and irrational!

Yinzhen hadn't expected Xue Li to react so strongly. Putting himself in her shoes, he understood, but he still felt somewhat uneasy.

Sherry could roughly guess what was going on from his expression, but they didn't think they had done anything wrong!

Sherry decided to give the little ones some proper instructions later.
