Only Hailanzhu! Yes, Hailanzhu!
The Empress regained her spirits and went to Guanju Palace every day to personally feed Hailanzhu her medicine.
Hailanzhu eventually learned the whole story, and now her feelings towards her aunt were much more complicated.
She understood her thoughts. If it were just harming her, that would be one thing, but Aqina was also corrupting the palace and confusing the imperial heirs. Who could help her in this situation?
Because of these things, Hailanzhu became increasingly worried and fragile.
Huang Taiji accompanied her every day, but due to poisoning, her body could not withstand the hardships of pregnancy.
Huang Taiji wanted her to have a miscarriage, but Hailanzhu refused.
She barely managed to hold on until seven months and gave birth, but died after only crying twice.
Hailanzhu broke down in tears and fainted on the spot.
It was only thanks to the presence of the imperial physicians that Huang Taiji did not suffer a postpartum hemorrhage due to his emotional distress. Huang Taiji kept praying for the protection of the Eternal Heaven!
Despite consulting numerous renowned doctors, Huang Taiji could only barely keep Hailanzhu alive.
Huang Taiji had an idea and sent someone to make the arrangements.
The next morning, a concubine gave birth to a daughter. She was the daughter of Baihu and came from a humble background.
Huang Taiji bestowed upon her the title "Zhong" (忠, meaning loyal), and then took the child away.
When Hailanzhu woke up, her eyes were filled with despair and sorrow.
Huang Taiji smiled gently and said to her, "The little princess is quiet by nature, but she is quite healthy!"
Hailanzhu paused, then suddenly turned to look at the baby in swaddling clothes beside her, and tears streamed down her face.
She struggled to her feet, looked at the baby sleeping peacefully in the swaddling clothes, and suddenly covered her mouth and burst into tears.
She thought...she thought...
Looking into her eyes, which had regained their luster, Huang Taiji finally felt relieved.
Sherry: Oh my~ True love, true love~
A certain system: You're envious?
Sherry: No!
A certain system: Pshaw!
Sherry: But it's been so long since I slept with Huang Taiji, what a loss! Dragon energy!
Then, Shirley sent someone to deliver mung bean cakes to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen his children for some time because of Hailanzhu.
Then, in the evening, we went to Linzhi Palace.
Sherry looked at him, her eyes seemingly hooked.
Huang Taiji suddenly laughed, and Xue Li glared at him angrily.
Several little ones circled around him, calling him "Ama, Ama" repeatedly.
Huang Taiji hugged and lifted each of them, including Abu Nai.
The little ones were overjoyed.
They jumped and skipped around happily!
"Alright, let's eat!" Sherry said casually.
One by one, they obediently climbed into their seats and watched Huang Taiji eat with relish, bite by bite.
Huang Taiji had been a safe haven for Hailanzhu for a long time and hadn't been able to relax.
Looking at his beautiful wife and young child, his heart melted completely.
She personally served soup to the pears.
Sherry smiled gently and sweetly.
After dinner, the little ones wanted to tell Huang Taiji a story.
“Father, let me tell you a story!” Abu Nai’s eyes were burning.
Huang Taiji looked at them with some surprise.
“A monkey popped out of the stone…” Burha quickly jumped in to start the story, even imitating it in a strange way.
"Pigsy, get married!" Kambu jumped and skipped along, not wanting to be left behind.
"Fairy~ Fairy~" Mo Yali climbed onto Huang Taiji and called out in a clear voice.
Sherry's pupils dilated in shock, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Huang Taiji was startled by his little daughter, looked at Xue Li, and then saw Xue Li laughing heartily while holding a handkerchief, which made him both amused and exasperated.
Huang Taiji patiently dealt with each of them one by one, and then had his servants take them away to coax them to sleep.
Sherry sat happily on his lap, "Fairy~ Fairy~ What kind of fairy am I, Master~"
Sherry smiled radiantly, and Huang Taiji finally seized the opportunity, carrying her into the inner room!
"Hmm? You told a good story~" Huang Taiji patted her pert buttocks repeatedly.
"Oh? Are you envious, Master? I can tell you too~" Shirley couldn't help but move.
Feeling his heat and hardness, Sherry smiled mischievously and seductively.
"Oh? What does Nana want to tell me? Hmm?" Huang Taiji breathed slightly, his hands moving around, lighting up small flames.
"Why don't we go have some fun while we can enjoy this beautiful scenery?" Shirley's breath was sweet and her eyes were alluring.
"Nana is such a fairy~ How can you be so sweet and delicious?" Huang Taiji gently bit her neck and pink shoulders, tossing clothes one by one in his hands.
"Why don't I sleep when my pillow is empty and the quilt is still on?" Xue Li's slender white hand wandered over him, listening to the muffled groans escaping from his throat, her eyes full of cunning. She lightly bit his Adam's apple, and Huang Taiji instantly gasped for breath.
Bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, they danced gracefully, their necks entwined in a tender embrace...
The next day, Huang Taiji came again and instructed the children that they could begin their education.
Because Abu Nai had lived in the palace since childhood, Huang Taiji had some affection for him.
The triplets also wanted to go, but Mo Yali looked at her mother and told her not to go, her eyes brimming with tears.
Although Huang Taiji had many princesses, Mo Yali was the first one he held in his arms.
In the past two years, he has been favored by Subude and Moyali of Guanju Palace.
Huang Taiji looked at Xue Li, but Xue Li looked away, pretending not to hear him.
Huang Taiji laughed and nodded in agreement, but forbade Mo Yali from being naughty, crying, or giving up halfway.
Despite her tears, Mo Yali nodded earnestly, her gaze still intense.
Huang Taiji touched them one by one, and was about to leave.
"Master, shouldn't we arrange servants for them?" Sherry said, but couldn't help glancing at Abu Nai.
The four little ones were excitedly discussing what to bring.
Huang Taiji suddenly understood what Xue Li meant, nodded in agreement, touched her face again, and left.
Later, when the children began their early education, Sherry copied the soap recipe and had her family make it, which was done by her eldest daughter, Qimuge.
Since they're all contract workers anyway, having some income is good!
This was also a crucial moment for the Qing Dynasty to compete with the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols, and other forces for control of the Liaodong region.
Throughout the year, Huang Taiji personally led his troops on several expeditions, attempting to resolve the crisis in Liaodong through military means.
One day, when we went to pay our respects, Hailanzhu also came out.
She was kept alive with all sorts of top-quality medicines, perhaps because of her children.
However, the quiet Consort Zhong kept her eyes fixed on the little princess being held by the nanny behind Hailanzhu.
Sherry felt that her peaceful life was about to be disrupted again.
Hailanzhu didn't notice that gaze at all, gently coaxing the child.
The reluctance and jealousy in Consort Zhong's eyes could not be hidden.
In late April of the sixth year of the Chongde reign (1641), Shirley became pregnant. It must have been the historical Bogor, that poor little thing.
That child who caused the original owner such heartache!
Out of personal motives, Shirley gave Huang Taiji a soup that she had mixed with spiritual spring water.
So I wasn't affected by the medicine and my body is still quite healthy.
The Empress did everything perfectly.
