The eldest brother took the imperial edict and negotiated with Japan.
Finally, because the other side disrespected the Qing Emperor and provoked the Qing soldiers, our army discovered their treacherous intentions.
Furthermore, they discovered treasures and books lost by the Qing Dynasty in other countries.
Yinreng issued an imperial edict to send troops to Japan.
While cursing Yinreng's hypocrisy in his heart, Prince Zhi, Yinzhi, led his men to charge in.
Yinzhen stayed in the capital to gather provisions, deploy troops, and ensure logistical support for his brothers.
Sydney was taking it easy.
The second son also went to the Imperial Study, and Shirley spent her days overseeing the construction of mansions for her younger brothers.
They were focused on establishing orphanages and searching for mineral resources.
After all, weapons are needed!
Perhaps because Emperor Kangxi was gone, the imperial concubines each had their own lives and stopped fighting each other.
Although the eleventh son of Consort Yi was physically weak, he also survived.
At the end of October, Sherry became pregnant.
Yes, the historical Heshuo Princess has arrived.
The imperial court and harem are once again in turmoil because of Shirley's pregnancy.
In the fourth year of Hongtai (1697).
The court officials unanimously proposed holding a talent show.
After all, observing three years of mourning for the late emperor is enough.
No one would think that the emperor didn't hold a selection of concubines because of the empress.
After all, we're all men, we all know each other well.
Some clever courtiers spoke with righteous indignation, but their schemes were clearly aimed at Yinreng.
Princesses from small countries, beauties from exotic lands, women from Jiangnan, noble ladies of the Manchu ethnic group...
In short, as long as Yinreng gives the order, they can arrange everything clearly.
And as soon as he said it, his eyes were full of "Your Majesty, I understand your wishes."
This caused Yinreng a great deal of frustration.
If his initial devotion to the Empress stemmed from "budding affections," then later it was driven by love, habit, and an even greater, inexplicable trust.
He wasn't unaware of the ministers' romantic escapades; he had been curious, but it was just pure curiosity.
He felt uneasy whenever he had any particular thoughts, or whenever a beautiful palace maid entered the Qianqing Palace.
He didn't know why, but he only felt at ease when he was with Sherry.
Moreover, his queen could play with him and accompany him in conquering the world; they understood each other's sexual preferences and ambitions.
They're a match made in heaven!
Yinreng thought to himself.
Every time he thought of Sherry, he felt immense admiration for his father, the Emperor.
After all, Shirley was the Crown Princess carefully chosen for him by his father, the Emperor.
As expected, everything suited his wishes.
But seeing the determined look on the faces of those court officials, Yinreng narrowed his eyes and agreed.
The court officials were overjoyed.
Yinreng rushed to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.
Sherry, supporting her back, was still examining the treasure on the table.
She touched the riding crop. Hmm, she couldn't hit him; it wasn't like they were on the bed, and he didn't like that.
I touched the candle again. Hmm, that's not appropriate either. It's definitely not appropriate in broad daylight.
That was the jade dildo. She actually wanted to try the so-called fourth love, but Yinreng was extremely resistant. He would start a battle to protect her chrysanthemum at the slightest disagreement, so it never started.
Her custom-made, gleaming gold handcuffs? Fine, I'll tease him at night and whip his bottom with a little horsewhip.
But as expected, Yinreng returned shortly afterward.
So, she should just show weakness.
Men, you know! They know you're faking it, and they just like the gentle, tender type.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned!" Dewdrop hurriedly ran in to report.
Sherry waved her hand, clutched her handkerchief, and struggled to cry for a long time, but couldn't manage to.
The wet nurse and several young maids behind her tried hard to purse their lips so as not to laugh out loud.
Sherry simply threw away the handkerchief and began to recite the poem in a lingering, sentimental manner.
"The clouds are light and the wind is high, the leaves are flying wildly; the cold rain in the small courtyard is light on the green moss; the woman in her boudoir is quiet and closes her curtains."
Her powdered face hides sorrow on her golden pillow; the mandarin ducks circle her painted silk robe in vain. How can she bear to betray her love that makes her not want to return home!
I must say, it's quite fitting for the occasion.
The first stanza depicts a scene of deep spring and tranquility.
The second stanza describes how the woman, upon seeing the mandarin duck embroidery on her silk robe, naturally thinks of her loneliness and feels deeply that the man she longs for has betrayed her deep affection.
Sherry twisted her handkerchief, pouted, and recited the poem while secretly watching Yinreng's expression.
Yinreng almost burst out laughing, but experience told him that if he laughed now, he would really have to spend the night alone.
The servants left.
Yinreng sat to the side, holding Xue Li in his arms, his high nose bridge constantly rubbing against Xue Li's cheek.
"Your Majesty is thinking that some of your brothers are getting married, and others are getting new additions to their families! Besides, the soldiers on the front lines are fighting valiantly, and I must reward them!"
Sherry nodded and leaned against him softly.
Yinreng looked down at her and saw that she was still as lovely and beautiful as when he first met her.
My heart is completely soft.
Even when Sherry throws a tantrum, he likes it very much.
But very quickly, half a month later, Sydney's pregnancy stabilized!
Several matriarchs from powerful and influential families sent invitations to Sherry to pay their respects.
Sherry had a bad feeling.
But we can't push them all away.
Besides, I'm just idling around anyway.
Sherry simply held a banquet, and the imperial concubines in the palace also joined in the festivities.
There are also theatrical performances, acrobatics, and performances using Western musical instruments.
There were also chemistry and physics performances by the students, and the female students were specially invited by Sydney.
She has an idea.
Of course, these ladies couldn't have come for nothing, right? Sherry smiled sinisterly.
Soon, the day arrived.
Each matriarch brought her daughters into the palace.
Sherry leaned back on the soft sofa and watched.
The Hesheli clan, the Niohuru clan, the Magia clan, the Nara clan...
