Perhaps it was because of the Three Character Classic, the Four Books and Five Classics on Shirley's table.
Huang Taiji was at ease letting her raise the four children, even if one of them wasn't his.
Sydney wanted Abu Nai to grow up and do practical things for the people. She also needed to properly arrange his servants.
After all, there were always people who were dissatisfied with the Aisin Gioro family and encouraged Abu Nai to take the lead.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
On the 30th day of the first month of the third year of Chongde (1638), Consort Zhuang gave birth to a daughter (originally Fulin).
The Empress had been waiting for a long time, and when she heard that it was yet another daughter, her face was full of exhaustion.
Because Hailanzhu gave birth to a daughter, the little princess is safe and sound at this time.
Hailanzhu is also in good condition.
Huang Taiji frowned slightly upon receiving the news and, as was customary, bestowed a reward.
Sherry returned to her palace, claiming it was for a midday rest, but in reality, she lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) to use her soul to observe the reaction of Consort Zhuang's child.
Something's wrong; these aren't a baby's eyes.
The servants only thought the child was healthy and lively and didn't think anything of it. Consort Zhuang closed her eyes slightly with a look of disappointment.
Sherry: System, could it be that Emperor Shunzhi has been reborn?
System: That demon is clever! ⊙ω⊙
Sherry: Really? Judging from that expression, she's probably pretty dejected.
System: Yes, indeed!
Sherry: If he knew he didn't have a penis, would he be more surprised or more disappointed? Hehehe ( ?° ?? ?°)?
System: Great demon, really! Have some decency!
Sherry: It would be better if I had no memory at all. At least I can accept being a princess this time.
Sherry's delighted dressing up and grooming, in a sense, led a fashion trend.
Whether it's clothing or headdress.
Initially, she used the gold and jewels brought by the original owner. The gold was then remade according to her original design.
When Huang Taiji found out, he bestowed upon her a great deal of gold and jewels.
Sherry wore her new gold hairpin more than once, her long hair reaching her waist, dancing gracefully in the dim candlelight.
Huang Taiji looked at the flowing black hair, the beautifully swaying hairpin, the tinkling of bells, and the tender red grapes on the white mounds in the black hair. He knew how delicious and sweet those red grapes were. Huang Taiji's Adam's apple bobbed, his mouth was dry, and he was panting heavily!
The air was thick with the humid, sweltering breaths of breathing.
He had experienced Hailanzhu's fragility and dependence, Consort Zhuang's strong personality, and the Empress's virtue and dignity!
At this moment, he experienced the enchanting and alluring charm of a fairy.
Huang Taiji's eyes were filled with lust, and Xue Li bit her lip lightly, letting out a sound. He looked at her swaying waist and full hips on her well-defined abdomen, as if she were a rare beauty!
Huang Taiji was somewhat impatient!
Rain is falling outside the window, and the delicate flowers are soaked through by the early winter rain.
Inside, however, a different kind of exhilarating spring atmosphere prevailed...
Sherry was sleeping soundly with someone in her arms. When Huang Taiji got up, he looked at her peaceful sleeping face, gently stroked her eyebrows and eyes, smiled, and left!
In the fourth year of Chongde (1639), Ezige Noyan submitted to the Qing Dynasty, and the couple personally came to Shengjing to pay homage to their son-in-law.
Shirley led the princes and nobles to welcome her parents. Huang Taiji held a grand banquet at Qingning Palace to receive his father-in-law and mother-in-law and bestowed generous gifts upon them.
In the same year, Hailanzhu became pregnant again.
Sherry glanced at Bumbutai as usual.
Looking at her resolute chin, she knew that this person definitely wouldn't sit still.
Sherry smiled and took a sip of milk tea.
"Oh, Consort Gui is so happy to hear that Consort Chen is pregnant!" Batma Zao was unhappy to see Shirley so happy.
Perhaps because she switched allegiance to the Later Jin dynasty shortly after Ligdan Khan's death, even though Huang Taiji took her as a concubine, he disliked her greatly.
At least, Huang Taiji would occasionally visit Consort Zhuang, but rarely visited Batma Zao.
But Batma Zao was like a mouse before a cat when facing Huang Taiji.
“Of course I’m happy, sister. Both Burha and Kambu want a little brother, but my little sister hasn’t been cooperating. I can only hope that it will be my sister, Consort Chen.” As she spoke, Shirley winked at Batma Zao.
Consort Shu was furious but couldn't say anything. She turned away angrily and refused to look at Xue Li.
Hearing this, Hailanzhu smiled gently and stroked her belly: "Then I'll take the Imperial Concubine's auspicious words with me!"
The Empress also had high hopes for this pregnancy, after all, if they couldn't have another child, the family might give them another one!
At that time, she was Consort Zhuang's niece!
The Empress was meticulous, keeping a close eye on Hailanzhu's pregnancy.
He didn't notice the murderous intent in Consort Zhuang's eyes.
Hailanzhu was only three months pregnant when she looked much more haggard and weak.
The Empress and Huang Taiji were both very anxious.
This gave Consort Zhuang the opportunity to seduce Dorgon when he entered the palace.
In the past, she was afraid that he would ignore her and cause their affair to be exposed.
At this moment, she wanted to have a child through artificial insemination. Since they would all belong to the Aisin Gioro family, if she gave birth to Dorgon's child, she would have the power to make Dorgon step down for her and her child!
After all, in recent years, only princesses have been born in the palace. Since all three of them, aunt and niece, have given birth to princesses, then they might as well change the father!
At this moment, Huang Taiji was having a meal with the Empress.
Aside from spending time with Hailanzhu, she would look for Xue Li. She spent her days alone in her empty room, and even on one or two days a month, she would still receive advice from her sister and aunt.
Thinking of this, Bumbutai became furious. Why should she need their sympathy and concessions? What made her, Bumbutai, inferior to them?
She couldn't wait any longer; if she waited any longer, her niece would be going to the palace!
Bumbutai's plan was good; Su Mo'er stayed by his side the whole time!
After this happened three times, Sherry accidentally found a witchcraft doll with Hailanzhu's birth date and time written on it in a flowerpot by a servant of Guanju Palace!
The servant quickly reported this to Ning Wanwo.
Seeing Hailanzhu growing weaker and weaker, Huang Taiji angrily began a thorough investigation.
The fifth palace was unavoidable. When they found Yongfu Palace, they discovered that a witchcraft doll was still placed in a mahogany box in front of the Bodhisattva.
If it weren't for the people from Sydney pointing it out, we probably wouldn't have found it. The main reason is that no one would have thought that someone would dare to put something harmful in front of a Bodhisattva.
But Sherry refused to believe it and released it anyway!
Huang Taiji was furious, not to mention the numerous bottles and jars that had been collected. His imperial palace had somehow managed to acquire secret medicines from the previous dynasty?!
"Where is Consort Zhuang?" Huang Taiji's face was ashen, and his voice was filled with murderous intent.
The servants of Yongfu Palace remained silent.
In a fit of anger, Huang Taiji waved his hand, and a group of guards came over and dragged the person away.
A young palace maid hurriedly said, "Our Lady said she's going to the Wensu Pavilion to copy scriptures and pray for blessings!"
"What's wrong with praying for blessings? Just say it!" another guard said irritably.
The young palace maid trembled and couldn't utter a single word.
Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ning Wanwo.
Then, a group of people flew away, scaling walls and rooftops.
A short while later, a guard returned with a grim expression.
