Fucha Jinyi is not afraid of Chen Yuwei having children; in fact, she hopes that people like Chen Yuwei will have more children, as they will be Yonglian's natural helpers in the future.
Fucha Jinyi understood this clearly, because the entire Qing Dynasty placed great importance on bloodlines. Unfortunately, Fucha Jinyi lived too short, and her two sons did not grow up. Otherwise, there would have been no other princes.
When Empress Fucha Jinyi passed away, the Empress's lineage withdrew from the struggle for the throne, and the remaining princes each had their own problems.
If Emperor Qianlong hadn't lived so long, just like Emperor Kangxi, and hadn't lost his first few children, he wouldn't have ultimately chosen his fifteenth son, Yongyan, to succeed him.
As for why so many of Emperor Qianlong's children were born to concubines from the Bannermen or Han Bannermen, we have to mention the powerful families of the Imperial Household Department who controlled the entire Qing Dynasty's harem.
After years of development, the bondservant families were obedient during the reign of Huang Taiji, lay low during the reign of Kangxi, and were cautious during the reign of Yongzheng. Finally, during the reign of Qianlong, they accumulated enough power and became the masters of their own destiny.
Faced with such a terrifying power, the imperial princes and heirs after Qianlong were basically controlled by bondservant families.
The princes, who were considered extremely noble by the Manchus, became pawns of the bondservant families, used by them as tools for making money with clearly marked prices.
This time, Chen Yuwei has no intention of letting the bondservant families develop as they please.
Otherwise, in the later stages, Chen Yuwei felt that her children would have a hard time (after all, the money and wealth were all embezzled by the bondservants, the national treasury was empty, and the emperor naturally had no money to reward people).
That won't do. Even if he's no longer the emperor, he still needs to maintain the dignity befitting a royal family.
Moreover, the bloodline of the Aisin Gioro family is somewhat domineering. Chen Yuwei didn't think that if the matter of the bondservant family was exposed, the princes in the harem who had bondservant blood would go to rescue them.
The reason is simple: it stems from the natural disdain inherent in bloodlines.
Just like how Emperor Yongzheng disliked Consort De's maternal family, the Uya clan, feeling that they were not respectable enough.
Although the princes in the harem were born to concubines who were bondservantes, their education was entirely arranged by the royal family.
Over the years, coupled with limited time spent with their mother, how could these arrogant princes, who considered themselves superior, possibly value their maternal grandparents' family, which held a lower social status? It was utterly a pipe dream.
Fucha Jin Yi brought Chen Yuwei back to her senses, and she put the matter of dealing with the bondservant family back in her heart.
No rush. To resolve this matter cleanly, we must wait until Hongli has complete control of the court.
Hongli hasn't ascended the throne yet, so keep it in mind for now.
"This humble servant thanks Your Highness for your consideration."
Chen Yuwei bent down slightly, her movements graceful and elegant.
Fucha Jinyi smiled and said, "What do you mean by 'consideration'? You are carrying the prince's child, so it is only right that you do this."
After saying that, Fucha Jinyi shifted the topic of urging others to have children to the people sitting around her.
Just as others always liked to do things to annoy Fucha Jin Yi, Fucha Jin Yi would also use the issue of having offspring as a way to retaliate.
Anyway, Fucha Jinyi already has a son and a daughter, and there are no Manchu noblewomen in the mansion, so whether other people have children or not doesn't have much of an impact.
Others who got caught in the crossfire again: ...Will this ever end?
That was never-ending. Fucha Jinyi maintained a virtuous and dignified demeanor, which made people feel inexplicably suffocated.
Everyone: ...The Princess Consort is truly a scoundrel!
After the verbal greetings were finished, the others followed suit and left.
This time, Chen Yuwei didn't avoid Su Jingtong, who had come specifically to wait for her.
Seeing Su Jingtong standing in front of her, smiling and talking, Chen Yuwei sneered inwardly.
This person was quite a character; he would either visit her Ruyi Residence or wait for her from afar when he came to pay his respects.
Normally, Chen Yuwei walks fast, and the other party can't block her.
But something happened today, and Fucha Jinyi kept her behind to get some medicinal herbs, which delayed her work.
“Concubine Su, I need to go back now. Please make yourself at home.”
Chen Yuwei looked Su Jingtong up and down, then turned and walked past her.
Su Jingtong's expression stiffened slightly, but she still resolutely followed. "Sister Chen, I'm here to ask you for a favor. It's related to Jiangnan."
Chen Yuwei paused slightly, only realizing that the conversation had turned to her family when she heard the name Jiangnan.
She and Su Jingtong both came from Jiangnan, and although they were Manchu bannermen, they were of Han Chinese origin.
Moreover, the Su family and the Chen family have always respected the Su family.
Su Jingtong's sudden mention of Jiangnan at this moment was definitely an implication that what she was about to say was related to the Chen family.
Ugh, this is such a hassle.
“Concubine Su, please come to Ruyi Residence for a chat.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingtong's expression relaxed, and she hummed in agreement, "Thank you for troubling you, Sister Chen."
The way the two addressed each other was a bit odd, but neither of them cared about such a small thing.
Su Jingtong is now hoping that Chen Yuwei will lend her a hand out of consideration for those people in Jiangnan.
Otherwise, when the prince returns from Jiangnan, a little concubine with no presence might be thrown into some obscure corner.
Su Jingtong was anxious, especially since she had been in the manor for more than two months, and the prince had only visited her once. Now, the princess said that the prince would be going to Jiangnan for at least several months after the New Year, and Su Jingtong dared not think about her situation after the prince returned.
Why
Ultimately, it's because I'm not favored by the emperor; otherwise, I wouldn't be in this situation today.
Su Jingtong couldn't help but feel envious. Looking at Chen Yuwei walking in front of her, she thought to herself that she wished she could be like Chen Yuwei. She didn't ask for the prince's favor, but only for an heir to keep her safe and sound.
The two groups of people walked one after the other, and soon, Ruyi Residence came into view.
Concubine Su
Chen Yuwei turned around and met Su Jingtong's slightly confused eyes. She smiled faintly and said, "Jiangnan is far away. I am grateful that Consort Su could tell me if she had any news."
