Chapter 128 Consort Qi of Emperor Yongzheng, Lady Li 2



Hongshi couldn't stand that. He had never suffered any injustice since he was a child, and at that time his mother still doted on him!

He was unwilling and helpless; his mind was not good enough, and his character was even worse.

The Emperor once loved him so much, but now he has transferred all that love to Hongli.

Especially after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he treated Hongli with great favor in every way, and even allowed Hongli to go to Jingling to pay homage to Emperor Kangxi on his behalf on more than one occasion.

Who, besides the future crown prince, would be qualified to perform the ancestral worship ceremony on behalf of the emperor?

Under the pressure of Hongli and his father's dissatisfaction, Hongshi became increasingly impatient.

Meanwhile, Yinzhi endured the days in misery, seizing any opportunity to annoy Yinzhen.

Hongshi didn't think of anything else. He might just be venting to his Eighth Uncle, but for members of the royal family, even a single expression can be interpreted in several ways by their subordinates!

Moreover, he didn't know how to avoid suspicion. Whether he made a big fuss or secretly inquired, under Hongli's embellishment, he was always the son who went against his father's wishes!

Therefore, he was directly rejected by Emperor Yongzheng! Emperor Yongzheng ordered the removal of Hongshi's yellow sash and his name to be removed from the imperial genealogy.

Hongshi was then sent by Emperor Yongzheng to the residence of his uncle, Yuntao, for discipline and education.

He probably never imagined that his actions would be magnified countless times, to the point that he was disliked by his father, the Emperor, and died in depression in August of the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, at the young age of 24.

This is recorded in history!

In addition, there were various elixirs during the later years of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, as well as the deaths of those Taoist priests!

It's obvious whose handiwork it was!

This is why the Li family was unwilling to accept it!

The original owner was no longer young and beautiful, and all that remained was a little affection. However, with her son being disliked, she was also neglected!

Therefore, he lost all favor and never received any further promotion.

A list of the number of palace maids serving the principal consorts in the seventh year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign shows that Consort Xi and Consort Yu each had eight maids by their side, while Consort Qi only had five, the same treatment as the Old Noble Lady.

It is evident that during the mid-to-late Yongzheng period, although Lady Li held the rank of Consort, she only enjoyed the treatment of a Noble Lady.

Normally, after a new emperor ascends the throne, he would bestow honorary titles upon the concubines who bore children for the previous emperor. For example, Lady Geng, the mother of Hongzhou, was honored by Emperor Qianlong as Imperial Noble Consort Yu, while Consort Qi, Lady Li, was excluded.

In April of the second year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, Lady Li fell seriously ill, and the emperor ordered her to be moved to the Five Dragon Pavilion in Beihai Park.

Although it was customary for concubines to be removed from the palace before their death, respected imperial concubines were not subject to this treatment. Therefore, Consort Qi ultimately did not receive the respect of the royal family.

Sherry believes that if you're born in the palace, you absolutely must know how to act!

For example, Yinzhen initially followed the Crown Prince, but later became a Buddhist monk.

For example, Hongli did not approve of his father, and after Yongzheng passed away, he bestowed great honors upon Yongzheng's political enemies.

In other words, Emperor Kangxi called himself the Benevolent Emperor, but in his later years, the government was lax, the national treasury was empty, and the bureaucracy was chaotic.

It was Emperor Yongzheng who dealt with corrupt officials, stabilized the court, and replenished the national treasury.

To save money and to handle political affairs, I longed to go out and have fun, but I never went even once!

I worked myself to death dealing with government affairs day and night!

Emperor Qianlong, building upon the foundation laid by Emperor Yongzheng, began to indulge in extravagance and became arrogant and self-willed!

If he had thought, like Hongshi, that his father, the Emperor, was not respectful and loving towards his brothers, then he would have had no chance of getting the throne!

Of course, he understood, he understood Yongzheng's thoughts and even more so Hongshi's idiocy, so he easily set a trap to kick Hongshi out of the competition for the throne.

As for his collaboration with the Eighth Prince, who knows?!

He wouldn't mind pardoning them after he ascends the throne; that would be the time for him to win over the hearts of the people!

He did succeed!

His father was still cursed after his death, but he stepped on his father to achieve great power and fame!

Sherry is torn: should she let Hongli be born so he can watch helplessly as he loses the throne?

Or would it be better to let him become a little princess?

Let's just be little princesses! He's a womanizer yet he's also a self-proclaimed romantic.

Yes, he wrote many poems mourning Empress Fucha, but he created more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime.

Not a single one was outstanding!

So, just be a woman and experience the frustration of having your true feelings betrayed!

It was the 35th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1697), and Song Gege's eldest daughter died after living for a little over a month.

The only child in the household was the second daughter born to the original owner. It was the first time Yinzhen had become a father, and it was a time of great joy.

I come to check on it every now and then.

In the past, they came for the original owner of the body, but now they come even more often for the daughter.

It was summer, and Yinzhen, suffering from the heat, usually stayed overnight in the front courtyard after seeing the children.

Sherry thought to herself, feeling the stickiness and rich fragrance on her body, and went straight into the secret realm to bathe!

Currently, the Prince's mansion has concubines Yi, Zhang, Song, and Ma, as well as the original owner and the Fujinara.

While soaking in the spiritual spring water and drinking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Xue Li suddenly realized that at this time next year, there would be two little princes in the manor!

The eldest son of the Fujin, Honghui, and her second son, Hongfen, died before they were even two years old!

It's easy to guess that someone must have been behind this!

Therefore, Honghui's early death can be traced back to this!

Sherry thought to herself, if she had given birth to a daughter as her first child, she definitely wouldn't have time to target her anymore, as she would be busy having a son every day!

Sherry figured it out: the all-powerful Saintess Medicine, a powerful weapon for power struggles in the inner court of feudal dynasties!

After taking a bath, Shirley ate some soup, barbecue, and crispy mountain delicacies that she had saved up, which served as her late-night snack!

Take notes, tomorrow we'll refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Saintess Medicine! Today, time for bed!

Sherry was very sleepy when she was woken up, so she turned over and pretended not to hear.

The head palace maid, Luo Yu, panicked and reached out to pull her away.

Sherry looked resentful, pouting as she reluctantly washed up and changed her clothes!

I was sitting in front of the bronze mirror in a daze when I was blinded by the beauty in the mirror!

Sherry: What a stunning beauty!

The beauty reflected in the bronze mirror was as delicate and alluring as a spring flower. Her face was like a meticulously crafted porcelain piece, exquisite and refined. Her eyes were as bright as autumn water, and her lips were like blooming peach blossoms, so luscious and tempting that one couldn't resist the urge to kiss them.

Now that Sherry has entered this body, she is all charming and alluring.

Sherry turned her head, looked up, and struck a pose to admire her own beauty.

The maid Luohua, who was combing Xueli's hair, glanced at her face and said ingratiatingly, "Your Highness looks exceptionally well today! Your skin looks so fair and delicate!"

"Indeed, I was stunned when I saw you today, my lady! You are like a fairy from heaven!" Luo Yu said, trying to be charming and flattering.

Sherry was delighted by the compliments.

One person was rewarded with two hairpins!

The two little maids were overjoyed; that was a sign of respect from their master.

"Where's Baoyin?" Shirley thought of her eldest daughter, Baoyin, whose name means "blessing".

"Your Majesty, the little princess is still asleep. She had milk once during the night!"

Sherry nodded slightly, stopping Luo Hua from applying hair oil.

She applied some refreshing floral dew and lip rouge, then gracefully went to pay her respects to the Princess Consort.
