Sherry was stunned for a moment before realizing what had happened, and then scoffed, "What is it? Where did I go wrong? Please enlighten me, Your Highness!"
Yinreng frowned and looked at Xue Li with displeasure.
Meeting Shirley's cold gaze, Yinreng felt a little dissatisfied and confused.
After all, no matter what the original owner did, she was always calm and composed.
Yinreng had never seen that look in his eyes before.
Of course, he didn't care!
He simply put down his teacup, said, "I'm going to the study!", and strode away.
Sherry didn't change her posture and continued to zone out!
Men, if one is disobedient, just find another one.
If you don't care, who can hurt you in the slightest?
To be fair, Sherry misses the dragon's aura.
Oh dear, Father Emperor!
Sherry curved her lips into a smile: "Bibai, for lunch I would like to have mushroom and fatty chicken, three-delicacy duck, shredded fatty chicken with wood ear fungus, fresh shrimp balls, and roasted rice porridge, and add a few cold dishes!"
The quiet palace maids exchanged glances for a moment, and Bi Bai nodded and withdrew.
The pear didn't affect my appetite at all.
She was going through the historical process.
Historically, after the original owner's marriage, she gave birth to a daughter in the 36th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1697).
Only Lady Linjia gave birth to Yinreng's third son, Hongjin, in the 35th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.
For the next six years, there was no news of pregnancy in Yuqing Palace.
This is clearly abnormal, although the Crown Prince's favoritism towards Lady Li is certainly a contributing factor.
But the most important thing is that both Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince wanted a legitimate grandson/son.
After all, one of the reasons why the Crown Prince was favored by Emperor Kangxi was because he was the legitimate son of the Empress.
Emperor Kangxi himself was deeply influenced by Confucian culture and valued his legitimate sons.
Therefore, no matter how much Yinreng disliked the Crown Princess, he still diligently sowed the seeds.
So, who's in a hurry?
The Crown Princess ultimately remained infertile for many years.
On the one hand, childbirth damages a portion of a mother's vital energy, something every mother experiences and faces.
On the one hand, she was probably tricked by Li Jia.
After all, the bondservants had been in business for many years, exchanging interests with their families and powerful clans.
Without looking at anything else, just the fact that Uya rose from a lowly bondservant maid to a high-ranking palace lady in just a few years is enough to inspire all the bondservant families.
Who would willingly become a slave when they can be the master?
A woman named Uya who was raised to perfectly suit Emperor Kangxi's tastes.
Not only did they have their own bloodline of sons and grandsons, but they also brought enormous profits and immense wealth to their family.
That should give those families something to think about.
The fact that Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince patiently waited for the original owner to become pregnant suggests that they might have been aware of the machinations of the imperial court and harem.
The original owner of this body was affected by a spell and needs time to recover!
It is a fact that Li Jiashi has become increasingly high-profile, and it is also a fact that she has not changed her ways.
Thus, after seeking medical help repeatedly, the Crown Princess learned the root of the problem, and the devastated original owner turned her poisonous hand on her eleven-year-old grandson.
In the 40th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1701), Yinreng's eldest son died.
Because he was born weak, Emperor Kangxi was afraid he wouldn't be able to raise him properly, so he didn't give him a name.
Just when things seemed to be getting better, the person passed away.
Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince may have suspected the original owner of the body, but the original owner had been managing the harem for many years, and it would have been easy for her to torment a child who was already in poor health.
An ordinary flower in the garden, its pollen scattered, brought an abrupt end to the life of an eleven-year-old boy.
It's quite interesting that, over the years, two of the three imperial grandsons of the emperor in Yuqing Palace were born from Li Jia's womb.
Hongxi was lively and active, and was very much loved by Emperor Kangxi.
If a legitimate son were to appear at this point, then her child would become a thing of the past.
You can tell just by looking at how Kangxi treated the crown prince and the other princes.
The actions of the Li family drove the Crown Princess to despair, leaving her with no choice but to sacrifice her son to the heavens.
Let her taste her despair too.
At that moment, Li Jia felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the indifference in the original owner's eyes.
She did try to implicate the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, but the original owner of this body calmly asked the Crown Prince to investigate thoroughly.
On one hand, the crown prince felt that the original owner of this body wasn't that kind of person; he was confident in his abilities. He just hadn't considered that everyone has emotions and desires!
On the other hand, it concerns the reputation of Yuqing Palace and his own face, so the Crown Princess cannot be harmed!
Moreover, the original owner was so calm at the time that Yinreng was relieved and thought that Li Jia had just gone mad because she had lost her son.
If he had ever bothered to understand the original owner of this body, he would have known that the Crown Princess's usual composure was genuine; she knew her responsibilities.
Her composure at this moment was clearly indifference. She didn't go all the way only because she was afraid of dragging her mother's family down.
At that time, the Crown Princess comforted Li Jia with a single sentence.
“My sister is not like me. At least she has Hongxi. For Hongxi’s sake, she should be strong. I have been unable to conceive since giving birth to the Third Princess. I even thought I had fallen into the trap of some villain!”
The original owner comforted her gently, but her lowered eyes were filled with coldness. Li Jia looked up at the Crown Princess, her crying face momentarily stunned. After a long while, her pupils dilated and she was speechless.
Seeing the original owner retreat in guilt and fear, they realized that the original owner was feeling guilty.
After all, Li Jia's guilty expression was seen by Yinreng.
The Crown Princess calmly defended herself, saying that even if the Crown Prince had doubts, he wouldn't let her bear such a bad reputation.
He was more puzzled by Li Jia's reaction at that moment.
Something's not right, something's very wrong!
However, he suppressed his doubts and arranged for more people to protect Hongxi.
Then arrange for someone to investigate!
He thought it was just his imagination, since he had swept his tail clean. His favorite concubine was weak and helpless, yet she loved, respected, and worshipped him!
For the next two years, Yinreng continued to do his homework diligently; he still wanted a legitimate son.
Besides, he knew perfectly well how well Shi had performed as the Crown Princess.
He wasn't intolerant of minor flaws.
However, in the end, their hopes were dashed.
After 1704 (the 43rd year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign), the backyard of Yuqing Palace was filled with blooming flowers.
The original owner's heart died the moment she learned the truth.
Indeed, once her child is born, what foothold will those illegitimate sons have?
So, the couple treated each other with utmost respect from then on.
Sherry rubbed her temples, finished her meal, changed her clothes, and went for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.
The original owner diligently handled palace affairs every day, and she had gotten used to it, as there were too many things to worry about every day.
She felt that the little affection her husband had for her was negligible.
She'd been suppressing her feelings for so long that she'd forgotten that as a human being, she naturally experienced emotions like resentment, bitterness, and anger. She wasn't a saint.
She suppressed her true nature simply because of the word "rules".
She became the Crown Princess whom Emperor Kangxi was most satisfied with.
Sherry... Sherry is just putting on an act in public.
After strolling around, Shirley returned to Yuqing Palace and held the little girl Aba Aba in her arms.
I took a Marrow Cleansing Pill at night!
