Shirley ignored all that; she was surprised to find that her soul-formed body had grown horns—golden dragon horns.
Sherry was overjoyed: System, did you see that? I've grown horns?
System: Uh, that's a horn? It's been there since the end of the last world. I thought it was a bump I accidentally kicked!
Sherry: Ha! Are you bored?!
Without saying a word, Sherry pounced on the system cat and gave it a good beating. The system cat wanted to hide, but Sherry was tempering her soul every day, so it had nowhere to hide!
After that, the system cat lay there listlessly, like a virtuous man who had been violated!
Sherry was extremely excited!
I kept touching the two little corners of my forehead, the more I touched them, the itchier they became, the itchier they felt, the more I wanted to laugh, the happier I became, and the happier I became, the more I kept touching them...
Sherry was overjoyed for who knows how long!
A certain system: If you keep touching it, you'll go bald!
Sydney:……
System: Task completion rate SS level, 1000 points. Total points: 2520. Merit level 3.
Sherry: What's the difference between S and SS?
System: Can I tell you?
Sherry: Ha!
System: I don't know either, maybe it's just a matter of fate?
Sherry: Going to sleep! (_ _) ..zzZZ
System: Your Majesty! Would you like a male fox to wake you up? It only costs 5 points!
Sherry: No! This Queen has a fox!
System: Hmph!
"Yin Si was born to a lowly woman from the Xin Zhe Ku (a type of official household), and he has been arrogant and treacherous since childhood!"
Without uttering a single word against the child, even Juechan, the child's mother, felt boundless hatred towards Emperor Kangxi upon hearing these words!
Knowing her humble origins, Juechan was even more aware of Kangxi's contempt for her.
She was afraid of delaying her son's future, but for a concubine to commit suicide was a grave crime!
She secretly poured out the medicine, wanting only to die!
She thought that if she died, Emperor Kangxi would feel sorry for his son and treat him well.
Because she couldn't let go of her son, her soul lingered, unwilling to leave.
If the first time his son was reprimanded, it would be against Kangxi's wishes, making Kangxi think that he was forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices.
What about this time?
The phrase "born of a lowly woman from the Xin Zhe Ku" plunged her child into the mire.
All because of two dying gyrfalcons!
How could a child dare to curse an emperor, his own father? He knew perfectly well, yet he still so easily condemned him!
Not to mention her? She died without the slightest dignity!
Juechan was submissive and obedient throughout his life, but he also harbored boundless hatred for Emperor Kangxi!
She kept wondering, why?
She, along with Consort De (Uya clan) and Consort Ding (Wanliuha clan), were all bondservant slaves. How did she become a lowly woman?
If you don't like her, why bother having sex with her?!
By the way, she was excessively beautiful, but her personality was rather dull.
Because she was new to the palace, she was ostracized by the other young palace maids due to her appearance, and she was assigned a lot of heavy work!
Later, when various palaces were selecting maids, none of them wanted her because her appearance was too striking.
She was even deliberately suppressed by the depressed concubines and assigned only menial tasks!
She silently endured it; she had no choice and dared not entertain any delusions!
Until Consort Hui sought her out in order to secure her favor with the emperor.
At that time, Kangxi was both pleased with her beauty and disgusted by her dullness and humility.
After all, she had been waiting for several years and was already considered a low-ranking palace maid.
She honestly thought that she could just wait until she left the palace, but she had plenty of ways to deal with you if she wanted you to serve her.
Even though she knew that Consort Hui was behind her later hardships, she had no choice.
If she doesn't accept that offer, she might not survive!
The emperor had countless concubines, but only a few of them ever stood out!
So, who likes the emergence of competitors?
Therefore, it is perfectly normal for her to be suppressed by a group of people.
Consort Hui was pleased with these developments.
Because that would mean she would forever be at the mercy of others! She would never escape Consort Hui's grasp!
Only she knew that during those months of being showered with favor, Kangxi treated her like a mere plaything!
When did she begin to be forgotten?
Oh, ever since she listened to Consort Hui's persuasion and poured out the contraceptive soup herself.
Consort Hui wanted to use the child to control her, but Emperor Kangxi, who looked down on her, was outmaneuvered by her.
From then on, she truly became a background character, and Consort Hui, seeing her as useless, treated her even less kindly.
She remained silent and submissive, because her child was in Yanxi Palace, and even if she wanted to see him, she would have to please Consort Hui.
Sherry thought of the Xin Zhe Ku in history!
Xinzheku is also known as Huntohe, which is the Manchu name for Xinzheku and means half a Zuoling.
In fact, "Xin Zhe Ku" originally meant people who received rations under the jurisdiction of bondservants. It was a type of bondservant, and they were "servants" of the imperial family and Manchu nobles.
According to the "General Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners", Consort Liang, of the Wei clan, was originally from the Juechan clan. She was a bondservant of the Plain Yellow Banner and lived in the Fola area for generations.
The fact that the Juechan clan "came to submit during the Tiancong era" indicates that they were enrolled in the Huntohe (Xinzheku) by the Qing government after surrendering to it in the early Qing period, because the family was small and they were not enrolled because of a crime.
During the reign of Huang Taiji, they surrendered and were assigned to the Plain Yellow Banner as bondservants. Their families served as the head of the kitchen for generations. Juechan's biological father, Abu Nai, held such a position as a fifth-rank internal steward.
It's equivalent to being in charge of logistics.
Juechan's family affairs included positions such as head of the kitchen and second-class imperial bodyguard.
Therefore, like other imperial concubines who came from the same family background, the Imperial Laundry Bureau was a normal channel for the emperor to take concubines.
For example, the Uya clan, the maternal family of Consort De, the Zhangjia clan, the family of Consort Min, and the Wanliuha clan, the family of Consort Ding, all later served as kitchen staff and guards.
Many of the princesses who were princes were selected from the Imperial Laundry Bureau.
For example, Consort Yu of the Yongzheng Emperor, of the Geng clan, was a member of the Xin Zhe Ku (a type of official in the Upper Three Banners).
Empress Xiaoyichun (also known as Consort Ling), wife of Emperor Qianlong, was from the Wei family. In the early Qing Dynasty, she was originally a banner commander of the Han Chinese Banner.
The vast majority of people in the Xin Zhe Ku were not criminals and could even serve as officials in the court. For example, Xu Yuanmeng was once sent to the Xin Zhe Ku by Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi's initial criticism of the Eighth Prince as "born of a lowly woman from the Imperial Household Department" stemmed from the Eighth Prince's faction and his lobbying of officials to recommend him as the Crown Prince.
His birth was merely an excuse for the emperor to suppress the eighth prince!
From the emperor's perspective, you are incredibly audacious, daring to aspire to the position of crown prince!
Instead of currying favor with me and following my lead, you want the throne but instead contact others to force me to choose you. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to force me to abdicate?
Later, due to the death of the original owner, a rift developed between father and son, and Kangxi even used two gyrfalcons to trample the eighth prince into the mud.
"Yinzhi was born to a lowly woman from the Imperial Household Department. From a young age, he was arrogant and treacherous. Heeding the words of the fortune teller Zhang Mingde, he betrayed his duty as a subject and sought to murder the Second Prince, a fact known throughout the country… I am deeply angered and hereby issue this decree to all of you princes: you must remember my benevolence and obey my will, for this is the proper conduct of a subject. Otherwise, when I am on my deathbed, I will surely place me in the Qianqing Palace, where you will fight over me with knives. Yinzhi hates me to the bone because he was not made Crown Prince. His followers are all the same. The Second Prince is rebellious and has repeatedly lost the hearts of the people, while Yinzhi has repeatedly won them over. This man is a hundred times more treacherous than the Second Prince."
This was said by Emperor Kangxi after he first deposed the crown prince, implying that he was stepping on the eighth prince to elevate the second prince.
