Changrong was very happy; he wouldn't be lonely with his younger siblings around! After all, they had grown up together since they were little!
So the three little ones went off to their new world with great joy, without even glancing at their elderly mother behind them.
Sherry looked at Kangxi with teary eyes and a pitiful expression!
Emperor Kangxi felt inexplicably guilty!
The messenger told them that their mother couldn't bear to see them cry.
After visiting Yuqing Palace, the three siblings, Changrong, let their younger siblings choose a house, and then returned!
So the three siblings sweetly coaxed Sherry, saying they would often dine with her, and Sherry was pleased by the little ones' grandmotherly voices.
She winked at Kangxi with a smug look on her face!
Sherry: Look how sweet and adorable my little ones are! (☆^ー^☆)
Seeing her smug expression, Kangxi couldn't help but rub his nose.
Seriously, will you never grow up?!
Kangxi was afraid she would be upset. He stayed with the children every day for the first few days after they moved in!
Consort Ming was furious, but she couldn't say anything!
When the emperor and empress are in harmony, the world is at peace!
Besides, none of the many maids she promoted were pregnant.
She was almost in despair...
Sherry felt like she could finally relax!
After all, Kangxi valued his children. Even if he lived a long time and was good at fighting, as long as Changrong was steadfast and unyielding, no one could touch him!
After all, he has the Niohuru clan and his future in-laws backing him!
If all else fails, then later on, at a suitable time, we can send Kangxi to meet his ancestors. After all, he was too lenient in his later years, leaving the national treasury empty, which ultimately burdened his son.
As a result, because of the early incident of having no heirs, Kangxi was far less tolerant of corrupt officials and bureaucrats!
In the 28th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1689), the Russian Tsar sent an envoy to the Qing Dynasty to meet with the Kangxi Emperor.
This meeting was also one of the important opportunities for Emperor Kangxi to come into contact with foreign culture and technology.
Sherry got excited and started chattering to Kangxi, saying she wanted to go out and play too!
I've lived this long and never had a proper chance to go out and have fun!
"Oh? Did I not take you with me on the Southern Tour or the Northern Tour?" Kangxi angrily bit her as he listened to her complaints.
“It’s different! Going out is supposed to be about relaxing, but did you relax?” Sherry retorted confidently.
Emperor Kangxi was unconvinced, but after thinking about it, he realized it was indeed true!
The arrival of the foreigners not only excited Sherry, but even the youngest child was thrilled.
He was extremely fond of those "extraordinary and erotic techniques," and Sherry strongly supported him!
Kangxi, looking constipated, swallowed the reprimand that had just slipped out.
I firmly believed in one sentence: A doting mother often spoils her son!
But he was also relieved, because it meant that the Evergreen and Evergreen brothers would not turn against each other!
After all, they are brothers born of the same mother!
During the Kangxi reign, clocks, as a foreign timekeeping device, began to be introduced to China and gradually gained favor with the imperial family.
Emperor Kangxi not only collected various clocks and watches presented by missionaries, gifts from foreign missions, and purchased through trade, but also established a workshop in the palace specifically for the production and repair of clocks and watches.
Emperor Kangxi was particularly fond of self-ringing clocks and set up a special "Self-ringing Clock Office" in the east wing of the Qianqing Palace to be responsible for the storage of clocks and related matters.
According to archival records, a considerable number of clocks were made in the palace during the Kangxi reign, but very few of them have survived to this day.
The only one currently available is a gold-cased enamel pocket watch housed in the National Museum of Switzerland in Zurich. The watch is decorated with enamel floral patterns both inside and out, and the back plate of the movement is engraved with the mark "Made by Imperial Order of the Kangxi Emperor". Both the metal engraving and the enamel painting demonstrate a very high level of skill.
In addition, Emperor Kangxi also expressed his love for clocks in his poems, such as "The cycle of day and night surpasses the water clock, its intricate turns tell the time perfectly. Yin and Yang do not change its true nature, it has traveled thousands of miles for two hundred years."
These poems not only reflect Emperor Kangxi's profound understanding and appreciation of clocks, but also demonstrate his open-mindedness and remarkable insight into science and culture.
Because of this, Changchun, seeing the high prices of imported goods, wanted to go out to trade.
After consulting with Sherry, she provided strong support in terms of both funding and connections!
The older and younger brothers also invested, and as a result, Changchun disguised himself as a man and led a group of people out to sea.
By the time Kangxi received the news, Changchun had already fled.
He asked Sherry in a huff, and Sherry replied lazily, "I want to go out and play too..."
Kangxi:(((φ(◎ロ◎;)φ)))
Kangxi was somewhat helpless but reluctant to scold her, so he finally arranged for a team of people to chase after and protect the princess!
More than half a year has passed, not to mention the imported goods and strange and amazing items that the princess sent back!
The third child was so excited that he stayed put in the manufacturing warehouse and wouldn't come out.
Even Emperor Kangxi was helpless!
Sherry's eyes sparkled as she listened to her eldest daughter's stories of what she had seen and heard along the way.
Sherry asked, "Why don't we have a naval force? What if some other malicious people come along?!"
Emperor Kangxi was arrogant and domineering, and he completely disregarded foreigners.
Sherry casually added, "Humility makes one progress, while pride makes one fall behind!"
Changrong's eyes lit up when he heard what Xueli said, and he gave her mother a student's salute.
When Shirley saw this, she was overjoyed and proudly showed off to Kangxi.
Kangxi: ……(￢д￢。)
Kangxi pinched her cheek and fell into deep thought!
Changchun was also very generous, sending gifts to his brothers, sisters, stepmothers, and maternal grandmother.
Finally, he took the fifth princess, who would later become Princess Duanjing, with him and went out to sea!
As a result, Changchun replenished the national treasury for his father, the Emperor.
Changqing's efforts were not in vain; he invented and created vehicles, farm tools, weapons, and firearms that benefited the country and its people!
Emperor Kangxi was generous with his praise, stating, "Twins of dragon and phoenix are an auspicious omen for our Great Qing Dynasty!"
The reason... he couldn't bear to see his legitimate princess get married!
When Empress Dowager was alive, she wanted Changchun to marry into the Borjigit clan!
Emperor Kangxi understood her meaning and ultimately refused, citing "auspicious omen" as the reason.
However, they promised to bestow a marriage upon the prince to a princess from the Borjigit clan.
The Empress Dowager understood, but felt helpless. For the sake of the bond between grandmother and grandson, she did not force him any further!
Kangxi was extremely fortunate to have left.
He only mentioned it to the Empress once, and that unreliable Empress not only cried but almost made him sore and weak that he couldn't stand up!
Emperor Kangxi had a dark expression and did not visit Yongshou Palace for several days.
The empress herself then acted coquettishly and begged him to apologize.
As a result, the Empress wouldn't let him touch her anymore, saying it was tiring for him.
Emperor Kangxi was so angry he laughed!
For the first time, he learned what a woman was like.
Despite his anger, he secretly enjoyed it immensely.
In the end, the emperor and empress reconciled and continued their intimate activities!
During this period, because of Princess Changchun's achievements, many ministers instructed their handsome sons to have a chance encounter with her every day.
Changchun was getting increasingly annoyed! He touched the whip at his waist and narrowed his eyes. He looked like a pear, but his temperament was exactly the same as that of Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince!
Later, Changchun asked Xueli a question with some hesitation.
