He Zhuo, the youngest daughter of the Irgen Gioro family, was bestowed a marriage to the 'Eldest Prince' of Emperor Kangxi's lineage.
Her story is about diligently raising childre...
The imperial concubine selection in the 36th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign ended amidst this noisy "chicken incident."
Emperor Kangxi was impartial and gave each of his sons two princesses. However, since the Fifth Prince and Consort Yi did not like the Fifth Prince's wife, they requested a secondary consort. Emperor Kangxi felt guilty and sorry for his son who had been injured on the battlefield, so he generously gave him a girl from a prominent family, the Guarjia clan.
Consort Yi and the Fifth Prince were both very satisfied.
Because of the need to welcome the new bride, He Zhuo had to return from Qinyuan. Even though she was a princess, two tables of food had to be set up in the mansion to celebrate.
Granny Shi came to report that Consort Nalan hoped to arrange for the new princess to live in her courtyard, and He Zhuo agreed.
He Zhuo had read the information on the two new princesses. They were both from Jiangnan, one was sixteen and the other was thirteen. They were from the Han Banner Army and their families were minor officials with little influence in the capital.
He Zhuo was well aware of his concubine's thoughts. Whenever a new concubine came to her courtyard, the master would always go to see her. Whether it was the concubine herself who was pregnant or the new concubine who was pregnant, it was a good thing.
She had been married into the family for over two years. Not long after her marriage, preparations for war began. During this period, Emperor Kangxi personally led two military campaigns in 1935 and 1936. The emperor was never in the mansion, and even when he was, he was very busy. His wife, Hezhuo, rarely came to the mansion, let alone to the inner courtyard.
Now that the war has finally stopped and the Emperor isn't so busy anymore, Yinzhi and Zhuo have gone to the imperial estate bestowed by their father. She, as a secondary consort, stayed in the manor to manage affairs. What affairs? The manor operates according to regulations; they just didn't want to take her along.
Therefore, Consort Nalan was unable to conceive and was very anxious about it.
He Zhuo went to the garden because both of his sons wanted to study there. Kangxi went to Changchun Garden, so the place for studying was changed to Changchun Garden.
The garden was a gift from Emperor Kangxi to his sons. It was close to Changchun Garden, so Yinzhi could go to court, and Hongyu and Hongfang could study without having to rush in the morning.
There always needs to be someone to keep an eye on things in the household, and a concubine is the most suitable candidate.
The next day, the two princesses came to pay their respects.
"Our maids Ruan and Guo greet the Princess Consort. May the Princess Consort be blessed."
He Zhuo looked at the two flower buds in front of him. One was already 16 years old and had grown up, while the other, Princess Ruan, looked like a child. When asked about her birth date, he calculated that she was only 11 years old and was not yet a child.
As usual, He Zhuo offered a few words of encouragement, gave them rewards, and then let them go.
After exchanging greetings, He Zhuo returned to Qinyuan. Yin Zhi returned three days later, but he didn't mention bringing two new princesses with him. Perhaps he couldn't bring himself to do it with one of the younger ones.
The two princesses who came this time were both from Jiangnan. Princess Guo spoke with a distinctive accent, in a soft Wu dialect that made people feel gentler.
"Fujin" Yinzhi saw that the door to Fujin's place was closed in broad daylight. He pushed the door open and went in, where he saw a beautiful woman from a foreign land.
It turned out that He Zhuo had put on the clothes given to him by the foreigner, let his hair down, wore only a flower wreath, and smiled gently, just like a flower fairy who had fallen to earth.
The servants all left when Yinzhi entered. Looking at the delicate woman in front of him, Yinzhi felt as if his heart had been brushed by a feather, and he wanted to drown in her gentleness.
These foreigners' clothes are so daring, with a large expanse of their chests exposed, revealing their cleavage. Thinking of how kind and gentle Khoja was to the foreigner, Yinzhi couldn't help but feel jealous.
He rushed forward and embraced his wife, showering her with kisses. The kisses from He Zhuo and Ying Ning became the perfect catalyst, and Yin Zhi suddenly became very fierce. Thinking of his wife's delicate and smooth skin and charming demeanor, he felt an irresistible itch in his heart.
With a "rip," a dress was destroyed.
The couple, disregarding the fact that it was broad daylight, engaged in a fierce battle.
