She remained relatively calm. Although she was now bound to this broken system, after understanding it, she realized it wouldn't have a significant impact on her current life.
However, I wonder what kind of state the people on the interstellar planet that this little salted fish system is talking about have been in, so that they have to rely on watching their own kind of life to relieve stress.
Will people in the future suffer so much? Jingrou could hardly bear to imagine it. But thinking about it, she knew that was something far in the future, hundreds or thousands of years away?
Imagine this: in interstellar space, human lifespan has been greatly extended through technology, but there are only so many things a person wants to do in their lifetime, except for devoting endless energy to work.
Many people find this kind of life utterly boring, and at that point, they need something to provide them with spiritual comfort.
Such a thought only briefly crossed her mind before she continued eating and drinking as usual.
She's still just a child, so the most important thing is to get her body strong!
It's unknown whether the Eighth Prince's wife's later tragic death was due to poor health. After all, given the limited medical resources in ancient times, and the fact that women from aristocratic families mostly stayed at home, it was quite normal for them to have some health issues.
Prince An's family is quite large. The reason for its size is that Princess An gave birth to several sons in succession, and those sons each started their own families and had many grandchildren.
These are just Jingrou's closest relatives, such as Prince An and his half-brother. These people have a much weaker presence in the royal family, but they are still developing quite well because of their royal blood... and the entire royal family.
The lineage of Prince An also has an inseparable connection with the current emperor, Emperor Kangxi.
Aisin-Gioro Yue Le, grandson of Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and fourth son of Prince Min, Abatai, was a key minister during the Shunzhi reign.
Whether within the Qing Dynasty's imperial family or the entire court, his influence was second to none. However, since Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, he was mostly suppressed. In addition, some important officials from the Kangxi era rose to prominence, which made his influence less than before. But even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse, and he should not be underestimated today.
Just like Prince An's Mansion, which is located in the most prosperous area of the capital, where high-ranking officials and nobles gather, it is the very center of the center.
Having lived here for two years, Jingrou was already quite familiar with the place. She broke free from her wet nurse's arms and ran happily towards the courtyard where her grandmother lived. She didn't run fast, and even after she was freed from her embrace, her wet nurse carefully protected her.
The wife of Prince Anqing, also known as Princess An, came from a very special background; she was the younger sister of Sony, from the Hesheli clan.
When Emperor Kangxi first ascended the throne, Sony was a trusted minister entrusted with the care of Emperor Shunzhi, while Prince An was one of the most prominent members of the imperial clan. The combination of these two inevitably led to uneasy speculation.
One was a man who held power in the Qing Dynasty, and the other held absolute authority in the imperial clan. What were they planning to do by getting together?
However, Emperor Kangxi was still young at that time. It was precisely through the diligent efforts of these two individuals that Emperor Kangxi's position was stabilized, and Oboi was dealt with in one fell swoop…
Decades have passed since then. Emperor Kangxi is not yet thirty years old and is in his prime. He is full of ambition and wants to make a name for himself. However, Yuele is getting old and now focuses on retiring in his residence. He will only take action if there is an important matter in the court.
However, Yue Le and Hesheli's marriage was never a simple political alliance; they were childhood sweethearts who were deeply in love. This made Yue Le determined to marry her, even at the risk of being resented.
Yue Le and Hesheli were a loving couple throughout their lives. For Hesheli, who now has a full head of white hair but has had a smooth life, the most painful thing is that her most beloved daughter left this world at an early age, leaving her only a sick and young granddaughter.
"Grandma's sweet Zhuzhu!" Jingrou had just run in when she threw herself into a warm embrace.
Zhuzhu was the name given to her by Hesheli. When Jingrou first arrived, she was weak and often sick. The name "Jingrou" was given to her by her mother, who was very fond of Chinese studies. However, now that they were all military officers, they somewhat disliked such a delicate name.
But since the name was given by Jingrou's own mother, they naturally wouldn't change it. They were thinking of giving her an auspicious and pleasant-sounding nickname together.
The character "珠" is generally used as a suffix in Manchu words meaning strong or powerful, like in the example of "丹珠" (Danzhu). Combined with such a name, in Han Chinese usage, it also carries the connotation of being as precious as a pearl or jade, highlighting the girl's rarity and value. Isn't this the apple of their eye, the apple of their eye?
So the name was unanimously approved at home and became Jingrou's nickname.
However, sometimes Jingrou would rub her little face and think sadly, "Didn't my grandmother and the others think of the word 'round and smooth'?"
In any case, during the years she stayed at the Prince of Anqing's mansion, she grew from a thin little girl who often had to take medicine into the chubby little girl she is now.
At the beginning and middle of each month, the whole family must get together for dinner, including some traditional festivals.
It's unrealistic to expect everyone to eat dinner together every single day, given the large number of people in the Anqing Prince's Mansion and the fact that they could all get together.
Being able to get together once or twice a month is already a result of someone making an effort to make time.
Like a mascot, Jingrou greeted her grandmother and then nestled in her arms, before obediently greeting everyone who came in.
The first to enter was Jingrou's aunt. She and her uncle had been married for less than a year. She was usually very lively, and probably because she didn't have a strong foothold in the household, she always liked to stay by Hesheli's side to curry favor.
Third Uncle was usually quiet, with a refined and scholarly demeanor. In Jingrou's eyes, his smiling eyes, crinkled like a cunning fox. Meanwhile, Aunt had a somewhat naive and innocent air about her; the two of them were a very well-matched pair. She came from the Ma'erjia clan and was the youngest daughter in the family.
Then, surrounded by a large group of people, came in. It was Jingrou's maternal aunt, Zhaojia, with three children beside her, who were Jingrou's younger cousins. Because she had to take care of these three boys, she couldn't walk as fast and had to tidy them up, so she arrived a little later.
"Mother, we're a little late..." Zhao Jia said, a little embarrassed.
“It’s not late… I just ate some snacks this afternoon and felt a bit full. I need to hurry up and go for a walk, otherwise there won’t be enough room for all the good food in Mother’s room!” Ma Jia’s voice was clear and pleasant, which immediately made everyone around her smile.
