"Pig Flower" refers to women who are bought and sold, trafficked overseas, and meet tragic ends.
Sherry had been watching for a while.
Once they set sail, those people would be utterly destroyed, their merchant ships lost.
The young girl entered the orphanage, and some of the palace maids around Sherry selected to raise her.
Various rumors frightened people into avoiding opium.
However, some infected individuals and Manchu nobles continued to lie there, indulging in a life of debauchery.
So, not long after, those people also mysteriously disappeared one after another.
In reality, they were all working as laborers in illegal factories in Sydney.
They provided meals, but there was no money, no opium, and no freedom.
Those people were on the verge of tears, still anxiously hoping that their master would stand up for them.
If you try to run away, you won't escape; you'll get beaten and go hungry. If you try to fight, you can't win; the other side has guns.
Sherry wasn't afraid at all!
Her arsenal was deep in the mountains and forests. Even human traffickers would be lost if they went in, let alone those who were sick and weak from opium addiction.
When it comes to matters of life and death, those addicts outside begin to restrain themselves, but when the cravings kick in, they still find it difficult to control themselves.
The opium addiction treatment that Shirley and Physician Cao collaborated on came in handy.
With Yixin's assistance, the imperial court also vigorously promoted the policy.
After all, at this time, even the soldiers in the army had been ruined by opium!
Everyone knows that thing is no good!
It used to be difficult to control, but now we've finally managed to get a cure.
Some of them were herbs that Sherry had grown in the secret realm before, otherwise they wouldn't have been very effective.
However, this medicine is not very effective for the enhanced version that Sydney specially made.
Of course, at this time, a large-scale Red Turban Rebellion broke out in Guangdong.
This uprising occurred under the influence of the Taiping Rebellion. The leader of the uprising, He Liu, responded to the Taiping Rebellion and first raised the banner of rebellion in Dongguan.
The national crisis and class contradictions were aimed directly at the Qing government.
At this time, the Qing government faced a situation that could be described as beset by both internal and external troubles.
In December, Consort Li announced that she was three months pregnant.
Emperor Xianfeng was very pleased and specially promoted her to the rank of Consort Li.
He really is like a thin porridge with no broth or water.
I'm busy every day, but I can't grow many beans.
However, despite constantly finding new favorites, he still has a strong preference for Sherry.
After all, if he gets tired of reading memorials, Sherry can help him share the burden.
When they have nothing to do, the two of them compose poems and exchange verses, creating a poetic and picturesque scene.
Last night, the wind was sparse and the rain was heavy; even a deep sleep couldn't dispel the lingering effects of the wine.
Shirley was dressed elegantly and gracefully, but after she finished writing the poem, Emperor Xianfeng couldn't help but have impure thoughts.
Looking at Sherry again, Sherry had a calm expression and was so pure and holy that it was unbelievable. It was as if she was simply discussing poetry and books with him.
To uphold his integrity, Emperor Xianfeng touched his nose, coughed, and refrained from making any jokes.
He simply said with admiration, "My beloved concubine, what a fine poem and calligraphy! You are truly intelligent and talented!"
When Shirley saw his expression, she had to admit, he really did look like a gentleman!
"The flower path has never been swept for guests, but the humble gate is now opened for you."
After Sherry finished writing, she blew on the air!
Upon seeing this, Emperor Xianfeng immediately lost his composure!
Holding Xue Li, she said in embarrassment and annoyance, "My beloved consort is so talented! Did you deliberately tease me?"
"What? This concubine must plead her innocence. This concubine only wished to invite Your Majesty to join her at the Shui Mu Qing Hua Pavilion in the Yuanmingyuan Garden to enjoy the cool evening air..."
Sherry's eyes looked even more innocent, as if she wasn't the one secretly flirting with the emperor.
In addition, her attire today is elegant, beautiful, and refined.
That contrast made Emperor Xianfeng love it even more!
She looked like a bodhisattva, but her words stirred his heart.
After all, in the past, it was always him who teased other pretty girls.
Today, however, he was so teased that his mouth was dry and his cheeks were flushed.
"Hahaha! Alright, when shall we go to the Old Summer Palace? My beloved, would you prefer a carriage or a boat?"
Emperor Xianfeng quickly launched a counterattack and occupied the high ground.
"I love horses! I love riding horses... Your Majesty, would you like me to teach you?" After saying this, Xue Li pushed Xianfeng onto the couch step by step!
What she didn't say was that she also liked slaying dragons!
Emperor Xianfeng sat dazedly on the couch, his upper body impeccably dressed, while his lower body indulged in lewdness in broad daylight!
But it wasn't all for nothing; he got to experience Sherry's horseback riding skills!
Accompanied by a muffled groan he couldn't contain, only one word echoed in his mind: "Giddy up!" "Giddy up!"
Ugh! He's not a horse!
Emperor Xianfeng, though outwardly disingenuous, increasingly enjoyed playing around with Xue Li!
Occasionally, when Shirley is in the mood, she'll sing a song in the soft Wu dialect!
Or two people, a man and a woman, singing a duet with smiles on their faces.
Emperor Xianfeng was particularly good at these things, and Shirley was also good at finding amusement for herself.
So the two hit it off immediately! And that's why they took a few more photos together in the days that followed.
It wasn't that she doted on her exclusively; Shirley would only see her every few days, citing the fact that the child was still young.
It's quite a novel experience!
Of course, the freshest one is Yixin.
He was insanely jealous of everything his brother had.
She even regretted not killing him back then. Otherwise, why would he have to be subservient to someone else? Why would Sherry, who should have been his woman, have become his sister-in-law?
Despite her scolding, Yixin was very happy to call her sister-in-law, especially in bed!
It seemed that stealing someone else's woman gave him an extraordinary thrill!
Of course, if she doesn't behave well, Sherry will also whine and cry softly.
She remembers her public persona!
In front of Emperor Xianfeng, she was a confidante who understood his clothes by day and a companion who played music and drums with him by night.
In front of the Empress, she was her obedient, gentle, and sweet younger sister.
In Yixin's presence, she was a pitiful, lonely, and fragile beauty, like an iris, and also the sister-in-law he longed for...
In front of the children, she is the gentlest, most considerate, and most loving darling.
Sherry's arrangements were crystal clear, her persona was incredibly stable, and she remained unshaken!
Everyone finds her pleasing to the eye.
However, he ultimately failed to visit the Old Summer Palace that year.
The fifth year of the Xianfeng Emperor's reign (1855) was a rather quiet year.
Emperor Xianfeng suddenly fell ill and never recovered.
Because the internal deficit is even greater.
Sherry relentlessly exploited and oppressed him, and Emperor Xianfeng refused to admit that he was physically weak.
Consuming potent and dangerous drugs every day!
The worse he was, the more he ate, and the more he ate, the greater the damage became. This vicious cycle brought him to the brink of collapse!
It's probably because the original owner was a master calligrapher and writer.
Emperor Xianfeng was very satisfied and asked her to review the memorials for him.
As Sherry accompanied the king day after day, she suddenly realized that the original owner of this body would later become the ruler of the Qing Dynasty.
It's not that she was particularly outstanding, but rather that the Qing Dynasty's imperial family was utterly incompetent.
The reasons why Empress Dowager Cixi was favored were nothing more than: beauty, intelligence, literacy, and giving birth to princes.
These characteristics are common to most of the empresses and concubines of all dynasties who were known by name.
The key lies in the emperor's ability and ambition!
But this emperor happened to be Emperor Xianfeng.
They indulge in a false paradise, pretending to be unaware of the turmoil outside.
In addition, the Qing dynasty's imperial family was dwindling in number.
