Sherry: You're asking for it! Tell me, wasn't this killing three birds with one stone?!
A certain system: You're alive only because you're stupid! You better not use your brain; cleverness gets you killed quickly!
Sherry: Hehehe, I know you'll definitely die faster than me, believe it or not?
System: I was wrong, Your Majesty!
Sherry: Yeah, I'll do it again next time.
A certain system: ...?﹏?
After arguing with that stupid system, Sherry felt a little better.
In mid-January of the 14th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1675), Sydney launched an attack.
Sherry had no worries about getting all the necessary nutrition, and she only picked two midwives and wet nurses who looked good to serve her.
The other person was examined three times by the imperial physician and Granny Zhangjia.
As expected, several were dragged out.
Sherry ate the special birth-enhancing dumplings she had prepared and soon gave birth to a son.
While the nanny was swaddling her son, she gave birth to a daughter.
Everyone was beaming with joy when the midwife suddenly cried out.
"Wait, there's one more!"
Granny Zhangjia and Chunhua Qiushi were stunned for a moment, then went back to their own business.
Then a little red thing came out after a short while.
The servants were busy cleaning and wrapping the items.
Granny Zhangjia first took each person's pulse, then smiled broadly as Chunhua and Qiushi stared at her.
I checked Sherry's pulse again, and it was amazing how much stronger her pulse was after giving birth.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Our mistress has given birth to two little princes and a little princess, a triplet of dragons and phoenixes!" Chunhua led the wet nurses out, keeping a close eye on the children the whole way.
The surrounding chatter fell silent for a moment, then suddenly erupted into chaos.
Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a long time, looking at and touching each item with disbelief on his face.
He suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, reward them all! Yongshou Palace will receive half a year's monthly allowance! The entire palace will receive one month's monthly allowance!" Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and couldn't stop laughing!
"Your Majesty, thank you, young master!" the servants said in unison, beaming with joy.
The surrounding concubines were all green with envy.
Holding a handkerchief, she stared at the three little dumplings.
Consort Ma Jia touched her belly, her eyes filled with envy. As long as her child was healthy and strong, that was all that mattered.
Concubine Nara thought of her Baoqing still outside the palace, and of Chengqing. As long as he was alive, that was good.
Sumalagu, holding one child, said with a loving expression, "Your Majesty, the children are still small, please take them inside first!"
"Yes, take them inside first! Take good care of the masters, and I will reward you handsomely. If you do not do your best..." Kangxi was as happy as a young boy, but his eyes were deep with emotion at the end.
"Your servants obey!" the servants replied in unison.
The young palace maids and eunuchs looked radiant.
Anyone with a brain knows that their master has a bright future ahead of him!
Twins, a boy and a girl! Who's lucky enough to have that?!
Perhaps they'll even be able to serve the young master in the future!
Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed today, and was as excited as a cat that had just taken a catnip!
The Empress Dowager had fallen ill in the winter and was not fully recovered, but upon hearing the news, she was overjoyed.
He led people into the warehouse to personally select treasures.
Now, with three children, a boy and a girl, who dares to say that the Aisin Gioro family is cursed?!
The Empress Dowager was in high spirits after receiving the good news, and Su Ma La Gu, who was serving her, was also relieved.
Emperor Kangxi was happily thinking about what names to give his children when he saw Liang Jiugong's hesitant face.
"What's on your mind? Speak frankly!"
“That’s right. Those problematic midwives…” Liang Jiugong winked at Li Dequan outside, his tone hesitant.
Kangxi immediately raised his head, his eyes filled with fierceness.
"...There's a trace of the Tong family, and the Hesheli clan...and two of them committed suicide by poison!" After Li Dequan finished reporting, Liang Jiugong, seeing Kangxi's dark and inky face, hurriedly knelt down as well.
"...The Tong family?!" Kangxi was somewhat incredulous.
He knew in his heart that the Hesheli clan would not be honest.
Unexpectedly, my uncle...
No, they're after the empress!
Emperor Kangxi walked to the window with his hands behind his back and pondered for a long time.
Finally, they began writing the imperial edict!
He already felt guilty enough about the last time Wu Lingzhu was poisoned. Fortunately, she had an allergic reaction to a certain herb and vomited blood, so the child was relatively healthy.
This time it's even worse... not at all!
Kangxi thought to himself, "I'll make arrangements for Li Dequan and make sure to chop off their claws!"
After all, a subject must fulfill his duties!
[I, the Emperor, believe that the Way of Heaven and Earth, and the inner governance, are the foundation of human relations. Education fosters the prosperity of the family and the nation, and proper conduct is the basis of royal rule. To inherit blessings through virtuous character, it is fitting to rectify names and uphold the established norms. Therefore, I hereby appoint your consort, Niohuru, daughter of Duke Ebilun. From a distinguished family of Zhongxiang, a family of outstanding talents, you possess a gentle and dignified nature, and are well-versed in etiquette. Your gentle and virtuous conduct serves as a model, and your reputation shines brightly in the palace. Your composed and dignified conduct is exemplary, truly embodying the role of a mother both within and outside the court. Now, by the benevolent decree of the Empress Dowager, I hereby appoint you as Empress. You shall be sincerely filial to the Empress Dowager, respectful and frugal as the consorts, reverently assisting in ancestral sacrifices, and extending the auspiciousness of your descendants. You shall further assist me in achieving a harmonious and prosperous reign. Respectfully Your Majesty.]
The original plan was for my cousin to enter the palace next year and work with Lady Niohuru to manage the affairs of the six palaces.
But now it seems that it's best to make a decision, otherwise, those people will still be eyeing his position as empress and his children!
Moreover, twins, a boy and a girl, are an auspicious sign for the Qing Dynasty!
Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed at the thought that he had suddenly gained three healthy babies.
After reviewing the memorials, he hurriedly went to Yongshou Palace with various gold, jade, jewels, tourmaline, agate jewelry, medicine materials, and other valuables.
Oh, and there's that imperial edict, kept in a box.
Kangxi first went in to check on Xue Li, who was sleeping soundly.
Kangxi kissed her hand, instructed Aunt Meilan and Granny Zhangjia to take good care of her, and then went to see the baby.
Kangxi looked at the three little ones with excitement.
The youngest princess resembles the eldest, while the third princess has a completely different style.
I heard from Doctor Liu that the children are all healthy.
Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed, as his previous children were so weak that he dared not look at them often.
He couldn't take the repeated blows either!
Sherry woke up the next day, ate a proper meal, and then washed herself. Looking at her little one…
Sherry: Oh! So cute. (?′3`?)
"Has it been named yet?" Shirley asked Aunt Meilan.
"Not yet. The master was overjoyed yesterday. He even came to see you in the afternoon and spent quite a while looking after the children in the side hall!" Aunt Meilan said gently.
"Hmm, how are they? Will my poisoning last time affect them?" Sherry asked, a little scared.
Sherry: I was faking it. I saw Kangxi come in through my soul...ヽ(*^^*)ノ
"It's alright, don't worry, the children are fine! Taking good care of yourself is more important than anything else!" Kangxi strode in, sat on the edge of the bed, put his arm around her back with one hand and held her hand with the other.
Sherry leaned against him softly, her smile gentle and beautiful!
Kangxi looked at the person in his arms, his eyes filled with loving warmth as he gazed at the child, his eyes brimming with emotion.
