The concubines naturally inquired about the Empress's sudden encouragement for them to have children.
They found out that although the Empress Dowager was strict, they could still find out some things. The Empress Dowager felt that there were too few great-grandchildren, so she gave the Empress some instructions!
Once everyone understood the whole story, they were overjoyed. The Empress Dowager thought that since there were few great-grandchildren, it meant that if the child was pregnant with the emperor's child, he would catch the Empress Dowager's eye!
So everyone made up their minds that they must try their best to win over the emperor! If they could have a son or daughter, they would have a powerful backer in the future!
Yinzhen had no idea he was about to be surrounded by the flirtatious glances of a group of women! If he did, he'd probably be scrambling to find a way to escape!
After finishing his work, Yinzhen thought about what the Empress had said last night, so he led his men to Cining Palace!
When the Empress Dowager saw her grandson arrive, she smiled and said, "Coming at this time is just right to have a meal with Grandmother! Keep this old woman company!"
Yinzhen quickly replied, "It is my fault for not being able to be by your side every day!"
Empress Dowager: "Political affairs are of utmost importance. Your governance of the Qing Dynasty is so well-organized that Grandmother is happier than anything else! Let's not talk about this anymore. Sumalagu, quickly have the meal served!"
Sumalagu: "Yes!"
Yinzhen dined with the Empress Dowager, and only after the meal did he slowly reveal his purpose for coming!
"Grandma, I have received news that several princes of different surnames have been quite restless lately, and the withdrawal of their fiefdoms is inevitable. I still need to make some further arrangements! Although the Empress is reliable, she is still young, and I do not have time to attend to the inner palace for the time being. I hope Grandma will keep an eye on things!"
The Empress Dowager knew there was no need to persuade her grandson anymore once he had made up his mind! The Qing Dynasty was able to enter the Central Plains in the first place, so there was no reason why they couldn't control a few slaves!
However, "the abolition of the feudal domains will inevitably cause turmoil, so be sure to make full preparations and do not act impulsively!"
Yinzhen: "I have learned my lesson. I will certainly act with caution!"
Yinzhen told the Empress Dowager about his plans, and then took his leave to go back and handle state affairs.
After her grandson left, the Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Tell the Empress to bring her concubines to pay their respects tomorrow! Put their minds at ease!"
Sumalagu: "Yes!"
With the Empress Dowager in charge, all the enthusiastic concubines lost their nerve!
On the other side, in a study in the Fucha family mansion, a child of about ten years old, dressed in a mint green cheongsam, sat on a chair, with two maids and two old women standing below him!
Fucha Yunrong was thirteen years old this year. Fucha Yunrong was not originally called Fucha Yunrong. Her real name was Chen Yuerong. She was a real experimental "dog". It was because she was obsessed with experiments that she overworked herself and died suddenly!
Chen Yuerong died suddenly not long after her 35th birthday. She was born and raised in an orphanage. Because of the good policies and the kind-hearted director, Chen Yuerong was quite talented in her studies and entered a special class for gifted children at the age of 14. From then on, she became an experimental "dog"!
Because she was quick-witted, she learned whatever interested her. Because she studied a wide variety of things, she had a very broad knowledge base. As a result, Chen Yuerong was very insightful. Before her sudden death, Chen Yuerong had more than 500 personal patents. If you add the patents produced by her team, there would be even more!
Chen Yuerong doesn't have high demands for material things, as long as she's comfortable. Of course, the food she eats must be delicious, otherwise she's prone to mental lapses!
After her sudden death, Chen Yuerong became Fucha Yunrong. Oh, right, she had an older brother named Ma Qi, who was the father of the wife of the twelfth prince of the Kangxi Emperor!
Fucha Yunrong's original body was a premature baby who died just two days after birth. She happened to possess the body of the baby, and somehow, she became Fucha Yunrong and her health gradually improved!
Her father and mother were overjoyed!
The daughters of the Fucha family were very precious because the Fucha family tradition was to have sons. With the birth of a legitimate daughter, their health improved day by day, which naturally made them happy!
Overjoyed, Fucha Yunrong became the family's darling! She was cared for constantly, with everyone worried that she might get hurt!
Having lost her parents at a young age, Fucha Yunrong naturally appreciated the care and concern of her family members and found joy in it!
However, there was one thing that Fucha Yunrong was not very satisfied with: before she was ten years old, someone was watching her while she slept, and she had no freedom at all. She didn't even have the chance to use the laboratory that she came to with her!
I forgot to mention that Fucha Yunrong didn't come to the Qing Dynasty alone. She brought a smart laboratory with her, but it wasn't something she could use as she pleased; certain conditions were required!
Fucha Yunrong only started using the laboratory when she was thirteen years old. However, she was surrounded by people during the day. Although she insisted that no one watch over her bed at night, she couldn't really stay up all night. Otherwise, she would be exhausted the next day and there would inevitably be some trouble!
Yunrong has recently been researching smallpox vaccination. The lab has a set of testing standards that allow them to determine the efficacy of the results without human trials! Yunrong's smallpox vaccination has been tested and is ready for use!
Yunrong: "Granny Cheng, have you found out anything?"
Granny Cheng said with a serious expression, "This servant has inquired carefully and found that most of the people who survived smallpox were from farming families. What they had in common was that all the cattle in their families had contracted smallpox!"
Yunrong feigned surprise and said, "Are you serious?"
Granny Cheng: "This servant would never dare to lie!"
Yunrong smiled and said, "I didn't mean to doubt the old lady, I was just too surprised. Let's not spread this around beforehand!"
The four people in the study, excluding Yunrong, said, "This servant will certainly keep quiet!"
