Sherry recalled the medicine she had randomly given to the Uya tribe a few years ago.
She had already calculated that Lady Wuya would have dealings with that servant of the Wuya family.
So, because she intended to harm people, something changed?
Sherry didn't think about it anymore and continued to watch the excitement.
Emperor Kangxi held the hand of Lady Tongjia, whose eyes were red.
"Cousin, even if someone promotes a servant to serve you, they still have to get past me first! That Wuya clan has some nerve!"
"Then let's finish the beating and kick her out of the palace, okay? Yao'er, don't be angry!" Kangxi patiently coaxed her, and Tongjia Shi stopped crying and started laughing.
"Cousin, you're so kind! I don't want to give you away to someone else, but since you want many children and many blessings, I'm not sad at all!"
Lady Tongjia leaned on Emperor Kangxi's shoulder, her eyes filled with deep affection.
Emperor Kangxi sighed softly: "Why force yourself? I have my cousin, that's enough!"
Shirley didn't pay attention to Tong Jia's reaction!
After all, Emperor Kangxi probably said this quite a few times.
It's just that the people you're talking to are different. You say the same thing too often, but it doesn't feel sincere at all.
Sherry didn't mind his eloquent sweet talk; after all, she was the same way!
Just focus on the kidneys!
Within two days, Consort Tong recommended a concubine, Lady Daijia.
Lady Daijia was gentle and charming, which made Emperor Kangxi quite fond of her for some time.
The New Year passed quickly.
The Empress was pregnant and her health was indeed poor, so she frequently summoned the imperial physician.
Dai Jiashi has revealed that she is almost three months pregnant.
On February 26th, 1678 (the 17th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign), the Empress Dowager died in childbirth.
Because the previous empress had also suffered a difficult childbirth, the Empress Dowager and the emperor were afraid that rumors would spread among the people.
The news is overwhelming!
After all, the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories continued, and Wu Sangui declared himself emperor in Hengzhou (present-day Hengyang, Hunan), establishing the Great Zhou dynasty.
However, his reign was short-lived; in August of the same year, Wu Sangui died suddenly from illness.
Historically, news of Empress Xiaozhao's sudden death spread through the palace, but official historical records did not provide a specific reason for her death.
However, French missionary Jean-François Gerbillon revealed in his diary that Empress Xiaozhao also died in childbirth, which is very likely given the suddenness of her death.
After Empress Xiaozhao's death, her funeral rites were the same as those of Empress Renxiao (Empress Xiaocheng).
However, some places have overstepped the bounds.
For example, the Empress Dowager once wanted to personally offer sacrifices to her, but Emperor Kangxi stopped her.
The Empress Dowager personally offered sacrifices to this daughter-in-law, an honor that Empress Xiaocheng had never received.
After Empress Xiaozhao passed away, Kunning Palace became a place for rituals and sacrifices, and no empress ever lived there again. Empress Xiaozhao became the last Qing Dynasty empress to reside in Kunning Palace.
At the end of June, Nara announced that she was one month pregnant.
Consort Yi became restless and introduced her sister to the palace.
Emperor Kangxi indeed liked it very much.
The Guo Luo Luo sisters were renowned for their favor in both the imperial court and the harem.
At this point, Sherry is considered the most senior "old-timer" in the palace.
The Buddhist hall has been repaired, and Shirley spends her days there.
Emperor Kangxi always felt conflicted whenever he saw her.
After all, Buddhist temples are generally built by elderly people or people whose mindset has changed.
But Shirley's energy and flirtatious charm are unmatched in the harem!
Consort Yi, however, seemingly stole her favor a few times!
The two sisters stayed together, suppressing the other concubines living in the same palace from standing up.
I don't mind if it happens once or twice!
In the last instance, Sherry simply pounced on Kangxi while wearing a nun's robe.
The servants outside Jingren Palace blushed as they listened to the emperor and empress's passionate lovemaking and left.
Emperor Kangxi was so excited that he went there for several days in a row.
Consort Yi couldn't sit still any longer, or rather, in her eyes, Xue Li was too old to compete with them for the emperor's favor.
Emperor Kangxi's favoritism towards her was also evident to all.
So the two sisters learned to dance and arranged for someone to deliver a message to the emperor.
Coincidentally, Sherry had booked today's episode of "Little Kangxi" the night before.
Emperor Kangxi wouldn't refuse her face; after all, Shirley generally wouldn't make things difficult for anyone.
Consort Yi was unwilling to give up, so she sent someone to Yikun Palace to say that she was unwell.
Shirley smiled brightly at Kangxi: "Consort Yi is not unwell at all, she is just lonely in the little garden~ Otherwise, this servant should be going to the Imperial Hospital instead of Yikun Palace!"
The servants outside knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
"Speaking without restraint!"
After his initial surprise, Kangxi couldn't help but cover Xue Li's mouth and gently scold her. Xue Li's smile became even more tender!
Sherry swung the chain in her hand, and Kangxi's expression froze. He looked at Sherry with a particularly fierce gaze!
Sherry blinked her big eyes, looking utterly innocent!
The chains in his hands rustled as Kangxi clenched his fists tightly.
"Go down. If your master is unwell, summon the imperial physician!"
After Kangxi finished speaking, he lowered his head and tried to untie the knot!
Sherry won't do as he wants!
He carried the chain as he walked towards the bedroom.
With a dark expression, Kangxi, holding a cannon, hurriedly followed!
"Qiongju, if you dare to harm the dragon's body—"
"How could that be? Your Majesty, I love it the most! How could you possibly harm it!" Xue Li smiled sweetly, her eyelashes fluttering...
Those long eyelashes seemed to blink into his heart.
Kangxi blushed and followed closely into the bedchamber.
It wasn't because he was particularly obedient, but simply because he was afraid that Sherry might act recklessly...
After riding wildly all night, Sherry made Kangxi pant heavily.
Unable to accept the sound she made involuntarily, she looked at Shirley with a flushed face and teary eyes!
Sherry loves it!
It's decided, little emperor, this is a rare sight!
I drew it and hung it at the head and foot of my bed. If he asked, I would say that I was alone in my room, looking at his face to ease my longing...
Sherry thought he must be very happy!
After fussing over everyone, Sherry slept soundly.
Emperor Kangxi was perhaps too exhausted, as he did not enter the inner palace for several days in a row.
He did find Consort Yi to accompany him.
After Shirley finished painting Kangxi's pitiful and helpless appearance, she hung them up, one above the bed and one at the foot of the bed!
Of course, from that time on, no servants came near the bed!
However, the Yi Consort sisters used every trick in the book to vie for the emperor's favor!
Because of his preference for novelty, Emperor Kangxi did indeed neglect many women in the harem.
Sherry didn't mind; what bothered her was Consort Yi's arrogance and her audacity in disgusting her.
Then they arranged for someone to send Emperor Kangxi a decoction of Inula japonica flowers!
Liang Jiugong led his men in, then quietly withdrew.
"Leave it there! You may leave!" Kangxi didn't even look up and continued reviewing the memorials.
“Our mistress asked me to watch the Emperor drink! She was worried that he would forget again because he was busy!” Xue Li said in a high-pitched voice.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but frown and glance at her. Only when he continued reviewing memorials did he realize that it was Xue Li herself who had delivered the soup.
"Qiongju, is that you?" Kangxi asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I'm feeling lonely and cold, and I want Your Majesty to warm me up..." Xue Li turned around and sat in his lap.
