When Tong Guogang heard what Mu Sili said, his first reaction was not relief, but to feel that Shunzhi was so pitiful.

He and his son were infected with smallpox, and his daughter-in-law took care of him without any protective measures. However, both his wife and son were fine, only he was sick. It was so pitiful.

"Brother, I heard from Concubine Ning Que that she asked Fuquan to take several of her brothers and sisters to the Tong residence. Without you, can you take care of them all by yourself?"

"With your elder and second sisters-in-law here, it's certainly possible. However, I think Luna is a little frightened, so I'll have to comfort her for a while.

The emperor has been infected with smallpox, and you haven't had smallpox before. How about letting someone else take care of him while you wait for news in Chengqian Palace?"

"No, big brother. One of the two people inside is my husband and the other is my son. I can't give up either of them."

Tong Guogang couldn't say anything. Since she said so, he could only pray to God to protect the three of them.

After comforting Tong Guogang, Mu Sili returned to the inner hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity again.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being looked down upon and worried that Mu Sili would worry, Shunzhi managed to get through it in just three days.

Seeing the blisters constantly appearing on his face, the imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fine as long as they appeared. As long as they appeared, he would slowly get better after the fever subsided.

"I congratulate the emperor. The smallpox poison will soon pass. You will be fully recovered in a few days."

"I understand, Li'er. Thank you for your hard work. I have seen and remembered all your hard work these past few days. When I recover, that will be my way of repaying you."

Before Mu Sili could say anything, Xuanye on the side got angry. Was Shunzhi deliberately ignoring him?

He's so big sitting there, who can be so blind as to not see him?

"Father Emperor, your son contracted smallpox because of you. Now that he's almost fully recovered, he's naturally passing on this good fortune to you. Don't you have any appreciation for that?"

Shunzhi glanced at him sideways, then turned his head away in disgust. His son was not as pretty as his wife, oh yes, and his daughter.

"I've been sick for a few days. How's Luna? Are you not scared?"

"They were a little scared. Concubine Ning Que sent them to the Tong Mansion that day. With the eldest and second brothers here, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."

"That's good. I feel relieved that my brother-in-law is here."

Another week later, Shunzhi recovered. In order to prevent Xuanye from becoming a pockmarked face, Su Zhi disciplined him strictly and ordered people to pay special attention to him.

Thus, the famous pockmarked emperor successfully got rid of his pockmarked face.

After Shunzhi and Xuanye recovered, he immediately issued an imperial decree to confer the title of empress on Mu Sili and granted her the right to live in Kunning Palace.

During his illness, Concubine Ning Que's performance also satisfied him. Therefore, he promoted Concubine Ning Que to the rank of noble concubine, which was also a recognition of her behavior.

Concubine Ning Que was very happy. She had resorted to this desperate measure out of fear that her children would contract smallpox, but she did not expect that it would win her the position of imperial concubine.

It seems that the threshold for my son to get married can be raised a little bit in the future. When the time comes, I must choose a virtuous daughter-in-law.

Since Mu Sili was made queen, Fuquan and others would go to Tong Mansion for a short stay every now and then, and stay for several days.

Mu Sili didn't know why at first, but later she found out that Fuquan had taken a fancy to her four-year-old niece.

When Mu Sili thought about how Fu Quan knew how to choose a wife at the age of eight, she felt so disappointed with the three Xuanye brothers.

Xuanye felt extremely aggrieved. Since the smallpox incident, he had been imprisoned in the Palace of Heavenly Purity by Shunzhi to learn how to govern the country. How could he have the time to think about what he liked or disliked!

If that's really the case, then Chang Ning and Long Xi are the ones that Mu Sili should be disappointed with.

Ten years later, Shunzhi decided to appoint a crown prince, and the candidate was undoubtedly Xuanye. After all, Xuanye was the only prince who had had smallpox, and his safety factor was extremely high.

No one had any objection to Xuanye being named the crown prince, especially Fuquan. The princess from the Tong family was Xuanye's cousin, and he wanted to marry her. How could he have the nerve to compete with Xuanye?

Concubine Ning Que was even more easygoing. Over the years, she had come to realize that following Mu Sili would allow her to eat meat. As long as she kept up with Mu Sili's pace, she would definitely reap the benefits.

In Xianfu Palace, Fuquan looked at Concubine Ning Que with some confusion. Concubine Ning Que looked at him as if he were a fool. She knew what he wanted to say without having to guess. Couldn't she just say it directly? Why was she hesitating?

"Mother, I would like you to tell the Empress Dowager that I have set my sights on the daughter of Master Tong Guowei and would like to marry her to me."

"Okay, I'll go to Kunning Palace and talk to the Queen about this soon. But you have to be mentally prepared. It may not work out, okay?"

"My son knows."

When Mu Sili learned of Fuquan's idea, she agreed to the marriage without hesitation. Their Tong family already had a queen, and if they had another one, others would be wary of them.

Rather than making people wary and causing indelible harm to the Tong family, it is better to solve the problem from the root.

Fuquan is the son of Shunzhi. When Xuanye ascends the throne one day, he will be granted the title of prince and have a noble status. If it were not for the Tong family's support, he would not be worthy of him.

Since Fuquan has taken a fancy to the girl from the Tong family, and Tong Guogang and his brothers have no objection, she, as their aunt, will naturally fulfill their wish.

Fuquan got what he wanted. During the selection, Shunzhi gave the Tong family's legitimate daughter to Fuquan as requested by Mu Sili.

"My son will definitely treat her well and will never let her suffer any injustice."

Chang Ning and Long Xi felt uncomfortable seeing him like that. His cousin was only fourteen years old, but he couldn't help but take action. They really misjudged him.

If they had known that he went to Tong Mansion for his cousin, they would not have followed him. If they had not gone, his cousin would not have been on his mind.

But now that the imperial edict has been issued, they can only accept this reality. After all, they are all family and they see each other every day. They can find an opportunity to deal with him and vent their anger in the future.

After all, my cousin also likes him very much, otherwise she would not agree to this marriage.

In addition to Fuquan's marriage being arranged, the marriages of Xuanye, Changning and Longxi were also arranged.

Xuanye was the crown prince, and his crown princess was chosen from the Hesheli clan, Changning was chosen from the Niuhulu clan, and Longxi was chosen from the Shengjing noble Wanyan clan.

All three of them were born into noble families and were from established families. Although Concubine Ning Que felt a little regretful, she felt content because the Tong family was a new noble family and was also the queen's family.

After all, considering the current strength of the Tong family, if Fuquan was not a prince, he would not be able to marry the daughter of the Tong family.

After all four sons were engaged and had chosen the wedding date, it was the turn of the youngest daughter Luna, but Shunzhi was in a dilemma.
