Yes, it was just Sherry's distraction!
If this servant harbors evil thoughts, Sherry will directly destroy her consciousness.
Because the system was not available, Sherry automatically forgot to buy items and became dependent on it.
In just two months, I was distracted four times.
Sherry calculated the time; at this time, Empress Hesheri should be pregnant.
So, the first to be affected are the twins!
Sherry herself spread smallpox!
At the same time, a young eunuch in Kunning Palace drowned in the river. After the coroner examined him, he concluded that the young eunuch had smallpox.
Kangxi looked at the Empress with coldness and wariness in his eyes.
The Empress was somewhat shocked and furious!
She was ready to act, but hadn't had the chance yet, so who was it?!
She gave one of those century-old ginsengs, which had been spiked, to Zhongcui Palace and another to Yikun Palace!
As a result, smallpox?
The Empress was extremely frustrated!
However, she didn't completely clean up the mess she made several times.
In fact, the Empress Dowager knew many things before the Emperor, and even knew more about them!
However, for the sake of power, anything can be sacrificed.
Moreover, for women in the harem, the real skill lies in giving birth and raising them to adulthood.
Emperor Kangxi was somewhat conflicted, and he sought out Xue Li to suggest sending the children to the homes of ministers to avoid smallpox!
Sherry cried for ages before finally agreeing!
Emperor Kangxi felt both heartache and guilt.
The arrangements were made immediately.
However, Prince Chengrui was physically weak and could not withstand the strain.
So they stayed in Zhongcui Palace.
Disinfection and sterilization in the palace did not become widespread.
However, a village outside the palace suffered considerable damage.
It's likely that the virus was brought into the palace from there.
Nobody expected that Sherry was behind this!
Shirley sat happily in the palace, sipping wine and gazing at herself in the mirror with self-pity.
Kangxi wanted to spend more time with Xue Li, so he came in under the cover of night and saw this scene.
The person in the mirror had flushed cheeks, eyes full of autumn water, and slightly parted red lips. Kangxi thought of many actions and couldn't wait to take them.
Sherry's body has recovered well, and she's got curves in all the right places.
After drinking some alcohol, Sherry became more uninhibited, displaying various gestures and postures, sometimes charming and touching, sometimes domineering and forceful.
It was as if Kangxi had been fighting a battle all night!
I was physically exhausted, but mentally extremely excited.
Sherry has suddenly become a favored concubine!
The Empress was furious but helpless. Granny Ma comforted her, saying, "Perhaps the Emperor is deliberately trying to spite Your Majesty by favoring Consort Xian so much."
The Empress had no choice but to believe it, and even on the first and fifteenth of the month, the Emperor would use the excuse of attending to palace affairs to avoid visiting her.
Empress Hesheri was deeply saddened, unable to eat, and became extremely haggard.
But not long after, a piece of good news broke out.
In March of the 8th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1669), the Empress became pregnant.
Because of the child, the emperor and empress reconciled.
They resumed their previous intimacy.
Sherry has now achieved a small goal.
He appeared relaxed and languid, yet remained respectful and courteous to the Empress.
The Empress disliked her because of what happened last time.
Of course, she is not her number one major concern.
After killing Oboi, the young emperor immediately began a series of political reforms.
He ordered the cessation of land enclosure, the revision of the law on fugitives, and the prohibition of forced labor, thus fundamentally eliminating the malpractices left over from the early Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, he also distributed the lands of the former dynasty's princes to the people, allowing them to recuperate and thrive.
Of course, the emperor was far away, and those in even more remote areas suffered from oppression.
Sherry felt somewhat helpless; it seemed that nothing could be changed at the moment.
In early July of the same year, Ulanara became pregnant.
Sherry thought of the two children, the Emperor's people, the Empress Dowager's people, and Sherry's distraction.
The two children are healthy and strong.
But Prince Chengrui was different.
The young emperor had mentioned sending the child to the princes' quarters, but Lady Magiya was worried, so the emperor didn't insist.
But no matter whose child it was, it was a constant reminder to the Empress that in the future, many children would call her Mother.
The emperor has many people he cherishes.
Because of the hardships of her pregnancy, the Empress thought of the quiet and virtuous Ulanara clan.
In a fit of anger, he snapped off his long, thin fingernail.
"Granny, why are they all trying to steal the Emperor from me? Not only do they want to steal the Emperor, but they also want to steal the first prince!"
The Queen grew angrier the more she thought about it, after all, she had grown up listening to Mafa's plans for the family.
"Your Majesty, no matter how much they cause trouble, they are still concubines who cannot be brought to the table. Your most urgent task is to give birth to the child properly."
Granny Ma comforted her gently.
"Granny, Ulanara's child must not be born!"
The empress spoke with certainty.
The former dynasty's new favorites, Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu!
Does anyone know if the Ulanara clan was the second Niohuru clan?
"Your Majesty, I will obey your command, even at the cost of my life!"
Granny Ma didn't ask anything; her gaze was firm!
"If I remember correctly, Ulanara has always been fond of embroidery. Have those fabrics been sent over?"
The Empress turned her head; because of her pregnancy, she had gained weight and her face had become rounder.
"It was sent a long time ago!"
"That's good. I can't possibly favor one over the other. I imagine that Ulanara will love her child very much!"
The empress seemed to have thought of something, and smiled with great interest.
"That's right, those soft fabrics were specially allocated to her by the kind-hearted Empress!"
With the master and servant working in tandem, the matter was settled.
After Ulanara became pregnant, she contacted Nalan Mingzhu outside the palace, and her family gave her a list of names.
