After all, the mother of the twins, a Han woman from a humble background who held a high position, and with a unique title, is quite intriguing to later generations.
Li looked Xue Li up and down, then simply looked away.
Even as she lowered her head to drink her tea, Sherry noticed the disdain in their eyes.
But who cares?!
A noblewoman from a prominent family will look down on you, regardless of whether you are favored or not.
He was not favored; he was just a lowly commoner.
Favored and scheming, this vixen will stop at nothing to climb the social ladder.
Sherry thought about it and realized that after several years of treatment, she had become more beautiful.
Her skin was delicate, her eyes bright and clear, her lips crimson as if bathed in sunlight, and her dark hair thicker than when she had just washed it.
She's not quite as good as the seductive concubine, but she's beautiful in a way that's both innocent and alluring. As for whose opinion that is? Of course, only the one who benefited knows!
Even Emperor Kangxi himself never imagined that the chubby little girl would grow up year by year and become graceful and charming.
Of course, only he knows the scenery on the other side.
Sherry had no interest in wandering around outside and attracting hatred; after all, she already incurred the Queen's dislike quite a bit...
Sherry: Mediocrity is about not attracting envy; let her be.
At the end of July, it was revealed that Ulanara was three months pregnant.
It should be the later Baoqing.
As expected, the Empress was furious once again.
Yanxi Palace gradually replaced some of its porcelain and wood materials.
Sherry guessed that the Ulanara clan had found out something.
However, the Ma Jia clan lacked sufficient resources and, despite knowing that someone was targeting her, they had no evidence.
What's even more ridiculous is that she suspected the Empress, Ulanara, and of course, Shirley.
I kept wondering and wondering, but I still couldn't figure it out...
On November 28th of the same year, Emperor Kangxi brought his younger brother Prince Gong's eldest daughter, who had just been born, to the palace and adopted her as a princess.
This princess was later known as Princess Chunxi.
This move may be related to the successive deaths of children in the palace.
On December 25th of the same year, Ma Jia launched an attack.
She gave birth to a son!
Ma Jia was overjoyed and wept tears of joy!
The Empress Dowager may have wanted her child to survive, or she may have hoped that a prince would be close to the Mongols.
So they gave the child a Mongolian name: Sainchahun.
Ma Jia didn't mind. She didn't ask what position her child would achieve in the future; she simply hoped he would grow up safely.
However, Ma Jia, who had become extremely anxious, still saw her child frequently getting sick.
She once doubted herself, wondering if her own health was poor, and if the child she was taking care of was also unhealthy.
Regardless, Ma Jia was determined to protect her child.
Another Lunar New Year is approaching, and Sherry plans to bring her twins back to the palace.
The little ones are all five years old!
After all, the Empress won't have time to cause trouble soon.
At the end of the year, Ulanara almost slipped and fell on the ice on her way back to the palace after paying her respects.
She was only alright because the loyal servant who served her cushioned her fall.
But before the incident had even subsided, a bird suddenly attacked her and nearly pecked her face. Of course, some people also heard the whistle at the time.
Then came the issue of diet.
She had a huge appetite and couldn't resist eating and drinking for half a month before belatedly realizing that she had been tricked.
The series of tactics were too much for Ulanara to bear.
The former emperors, Songgotu and Nalan Mingzhu, were also at odds.
Of course, this was also a consistent practice of Emperor Kangxi: balance and restraint!
The empress in the inner palace repeatedly targeted Ulanara.
He was probably angry that his scheme had been exposed, so he decided to be more direct.
After that, there was no joy at all during the New Year.
Chenghu, who was about to turn four, went out for a walk in the wind, and when he returned, things didn't go well.
Kunning Palace killed many servants!
But little Chenghu was getting weaker day by day.
Empress Ulanara of Yanxi Palace gently stroked her belly and murmured, "Evil has its retribution. If you are not happy about it, blame your mother! After all, she killed your brother!"
Kangxi visited Yikun Palace several times, lying on Xue Li's belly with a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Why? My children are all..."
"There's human intervention involved, but there's also fate at play!" Sherry said after a long silence.
"Oh?" Kangxi stared at her intently.
"Your Majesty knows, doesn't he? So many people have tried to harm children. It's only because Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager arranged everything so meticulously that I could have cried myself blind..."
When Sherry talked about these things, her eyes were full of disgust.
"No, my twins are an auspicious sign! They will surely grow up safely!" Kangxi interrupted her hastily, perhaps out of fear.
"It's alright, Your Majesty. We can... kill fewer animals and accumulate more blessings!"
Sherry was a little nervous after she finished speaking.
Emperor Kangxi said nothing. After all, the Manchus had indeed killed many people when they entered the Central Plains!
Moreover, the feudal system was abolished very soon...
On the fifth day of the second month of the eleventh year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1672), Chenghu passed away.
Inside the Kunning Palace, a piercing wail rang out, sending chills down the spines of those who heard it.
Kangxi closed his eyes in despair.
From losing Chengrui the first time, then Chengqing, and then Chenghu...
Yes, he also has twins!
The twins survived because they were raised outside the palace, and some people were dishonest.
Emperor Kangxi hesitated, wondering whether he should send all the children in the palace out of the palace.
Emperor Kangxi was still grieving when Liang Jiugong rushed in and said that the Empress had fainted.
Before she fainted, she cursed loudly that someone had harmed her son.
Upon hearing this, Kangxi recalled the words of those monks and masters.
"The Empress has vengeful spirits and creditors on her side!"
Kangxi opened his eyes and strode towards Kunning Palace. He didn't believe it, nor did he want to think about it. He was the emperor!
During the Empress's fainting spell, the young Chenghu was sent out of the palace.
Even Sydney felt that children who are reincarnated into the heavenly family also have a hard time, enjoying great blessings while enduring life-threatening crises!
From the moment of conception in the mother's womb, the journey is fraught with hardship.
Afterwards, the Empress developed a persistent high fever and began talking in her sleep every day.
On February 14th of the same year, Ulanara went into labor, her worries were finally fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son relatively smoothly.
Shirley, who was waiting outside, noticed the midwife's hesitant expression inside the room.
"If you have any doubts, please speak frankly, Granny!" Ulanara's head palace maid sensed something and slipped her a purse!
The midwife hesitated for a moment, then noticed that the pale-faced man on the bed was staring intently at her.
He simply couldn't hold back any longer: "The fetus grew too large, and Your Highness almost had a difficult delivery today. It only damaged your health, but in the future..."
Upon hearing this, the servants waiting nearby all looked rather unpleasant.
The women in the imperial harem, what they compete for is nothing more than having an heir!
Fortunately, their master already has a prince.
The atmosphere inside was heavy, while the scene outside was quite different.
Because of the existence of twins, Emperor Kangxi did not give them the name "Baoqing".
