"Ailanzhu, look at this child, isn't he adorable?" The Empress Dowager held the little prince and showed him to the Empress.
The Empress clutched her handkerchief tightly, her face smiling gently and considerately: "When I saw the Second Prince yesterday, my heart almost melted!"
"Hmph, I'm just waiting for you to give birth to a fair-skinned and tender legitimate son!" The Empress Dowager had seen it all, and immediately expressed her opinion.
The Empress laughed genuinely when she heard this.
"Grandma, you're deliberately trying to embarrass me!"
"Hahaha..." The Empress Dowager laughed happily, and the young emperor looked at the Empress with some anticipation.
The difference is that the Empress Dowager was reminding the Empress that no matter how many children there are in the palace, none are as noble as hers!
There's no need to do those unnecessary things!
The emperor felt that the Han people's culture of having the eldest son as their heir might be worth learning from.
In the following days, the young emperor would occasionally chat with Sherry through the screen, or go to see the two little babies sucking their little mouths.
The name just hasn't been decided yet!
When the twins celebrated their one-month birthday, Shirley was still in her postpartum confinement period!
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor discussed whether the twins should be sent to the Princes' Residence.
The young emperor suddenly remembered and hesitated.
After all, he left the palace at the age of two due to smallpox, and his mother died not long after he returned.
This became a deep pain in his heart.
He knew all too well the pain of separation between mother and child.
While he was still struggling with his decision, Sherry had already thwarted several conspiracies and schemes.
Ironically, it wasn't just the Hesheri clan behind the Empress.
Almost all the Manchu nobles got involved.
Indeed, everyone in the imperial court and the harem knew that during Shirley's pregnancy, there were warning signs of twins (a boy and a girl).
The auspicious omens from heaven are real.
So, if twins are considered auspicious, what chance do their family's bloodline have of rising to prominence?
They didn't value it that much; they just took action. If they survived, that was a skill; if they didn't, that was their fate.
Sherry suddenly realized the trouble of the system not being there!
However, it's not a big problem.
What wet nurse's personal clothing was soaked in drugs that could affect the fetus's brain development?
What kind of clothing worn by twins can easily cause skin itching, and in severe cases, leave scars?
The charcoal in the room was replaced.
The windows in the room were closed in the middle of the night.
What kind of food incompatibilities did the wet nurse have?
...
Of course, there was also the charcoal fire in the Sydney house, which made people feel drowsy.
Sherry gave them the opportunity to court disaster; it was the nails that were hidden too deep that caused the trouble.
Sherry went all out, her soul almost solidifying into a physical form.
They turned their attention to those people from the previous dynasty.
The representative of the Niohuru clan: Ebilun, with a stubble beard, was given a drug by Sherry to increase his estrogen levels.
Then, he could stand on the grand court assembly and ask Liang Jiugong, "Who is more handsome, me or Grand Eunuch Liang?"
Representatives of the Hesheli clan: Sony and Soetu.
Suo'etu was a future princeling, and Shirley was happy to see them fighting like dogs, so she gave him a small punishment as a warning, and then gave him a drug that would cause him to lose his erection.
Sony is getting old and has too many schemes, so we gave him a small punishment as a warning, and then Sherry decided to ruin his reputation in his later years.
On a dark and stormy night, a withered old man clung to a young guard, his desires unfulfilled.
The empress's embarrassment meant that the emperor also lost face. The news didn't spread, but the officials who needed to know already knew.
Sony claimed illness in advance and stayed at home, ashamed to see anyone!
Representative of the Yehenara clan: Suksaha.
It's quite interesting, because of a curse placed on the Aisin Gioro family by their ancestors, none of the daughters in their family had the opportunity to enter the palace.
It's only later that we'll have a chance!
Historically, she was the later famous Empress Dowager Cixi.
So why is their family getting involved?
Suksaha is quite shrewd and likes to take advantage of situations where things are going wrong.
Sherry didn't do much, just gave her a minor punishment as a warning, and provided her with a laxative made from the medicinal plants in the secret realm!
I'll kill you, you thief!
Meanwhile, Ao Bai, the representative of the Guarjia clan, has been executed.
Their clan didn't make a move; after all, keeping a low profile is the best way to ensure their safety right now!
Surprisingly, there was also a member of the Tong family!
That is, the family of Emperor Kangxi's maternal uncle.
Is this preparation for the future of the Tongjia clan?! Sherry's mind was buzzing with thought.
However, some bondservant families couldn't sit still, and the relationships behind these bondservant families are also very complicated.
After thinking about it, Sherry decided to target Uya.
While in confinement after childbirth, Shirley observed the movements of the servants, occasionally making calculations.
Then, the head chef's nephew took away the gift that Sherry had given him!
I was finally relieved after tidying up Sherry!
And then the young emperor arrived.
The second prince was given the name Chengze, and the eldest princess was given the name Ningchuge, meaning "Eastern Pearl".
Sherry was very happy, after all, pearls held great significance for the Manchus.
"Chengze, Ningchuge~ Chengze, Ningchuge~ Father has named you~"
Sherry coaxed the two babies in a high-pitched voice.
The young emperor's eyes were filled with emotion upon seeing this scene.
I imagine his mother loved him just as much when he was a child!
The older sister looked miserable and resentful, while the younger brother was always smiling.
As Shirley was teasing them, Liang Jiugong came in.
He looked at Kangxi with eagerness in his eyes.
Shirley didn't complain to Kangxi because she was surrounded by his people.
Unfortunately, those who carried out the attack were incredibly resourceful!
Kangxi listened to Liu Yi and Jinbao's reply with disbelief.
A storm was raging in his eyes.
After a while, he slowly walked in.
"Qiongju, I have something to tell you!" For some reason, the young Emperor Kangxi was afraid to look her in the eye.
