Huang Taiji looked at him and smiled gently, put him down, and patted his head.
Then he hugged them one by one.
Sherry came out after listening to Kamub's endless chatter.
"Kamubu, don't you know how heavy you are? Do you want to exhaust your father?"
Kambu looked indignant: "I am the Baturu of the Great Qing Dynasty, and that's how I am!"
"You'll have to train hard, you're just plain fat!" Sherry ruthlessly shattered his beautiful fantasy.
The little guy pouted, looking like he was about to cry but wasn't.
“Mother, we’re still young. We’ll all grow up to be tall and strong!” Abu Nai quickly raised his hand to vote when he saw his younger brother crying.
"That's right, that's right! People should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation! Mother, just you wait!" Burha also became arrogant and ignored her.
Sydney:……
Sherry glanced at Mo Yali and saw the little girl holding a handkerchief to wipe her brother's tears.
Sherry was utterly speechless. Well, she was being ostracized?
Sherry glared at Huang Taiji, who suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
Sherry got even angrier and went back to her room to lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Huang Taiji followed her in, leaned against her, hugged her, and kept stroking her face.
"How old are you to be arguing with a child? Huh?"
Sherry was even angrier: "Tell me, am I still your baby? You've forgotten your mother now that you have a child, haven't you??"
"Pfft—" Huang Taiji couldn't help but laugh. He had only known her to be charming and alluring before, but today he was pleasantly surprised.
For example, his Nana is incredibly talented and also very cute.
"How could that be? Nana is the most important. They wouldn't exist without Nana!"
"Anything else?" You think you can win over Sherry with just a couple of sweet words? It'll take at least three.
"And also, my Nana is beautiful, charming, and pure-hearted. I love her to the extreme!"
Sherry felt inexplicably embarrassed.
"Pure is an understatement. When I see you, all I can think of is a fire-avoidance diagram!" Shirley said, blushing as she spoke.
Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter again.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Nana to try them out with me one by one, okay?" Huang Taiji loved her so much that he couldn't help but hug and kiss her again and again.
"Fine, you've got a good deal!" Sherry said with a smug look, her lips almost drooping down her cheeks!
Huang Taiji dined with Shirley and the children in high spirits.
Linzhi Palace seemed to have become a place for Huang Taiji to divert his attention.
Otherwise, he couldn't help but miss Hailanzhu.
Sherry didn't mind at all; it was obvious to the naked eye that he had become much closer to the children.
Sherry thought about how Qimuge, a historical figure, would be getting married next year.
After thinking for a moment, Shirley summoned her to the palace. The 15-year-old girl had blossomed into a graceful young lady.
"You've met your fiancé, haven't you? What's he like?" Sherry pulled her down to sit and asked earnestly.
Qimuge was somewhat surprised, after all, she had been living outside the palace, and apart from writing letters and sending people to deliver things, she didn't know how she was doing.
"It's alright!" Qimuge said softly.
"If you don't like it, your mother will refuse! If you want to marry, then marry; if you don't want to marry, your mother will support you for the rest of your life!" Xue Li said solemnly.
Qimuge suddenly raised her head, her eyes reddening.
"Thank you, Mother!"
"Does someone in their family look down on you? Or are they bullying you?" Sherry thought of other things. After all, even if she had relatives outside the palace, it would still make her feel uneasy.
Sherry held the little girl and spoke softly to her.
"Marriage is a woman's second chance at life, so you'd better think it through! Your mother has the confidence to let you choose the life you want! So, don't wrong yourself for unimportant people!" Shirley had already imagined a lot.
Qimuge suddenly burst into laughter through her tears: "Mother, don't overthink it. Even for the sake of the soap, no one would dare to bully me! I just thought that you had younger siblings and had forgotten me..."
"Have you ever thought that because you're not by my side, your mother misses you the most? No matter what happens in the future, remember this: if you're wronged, come to your mother. We'd rather divorce you than suffer that injustice!" Xue Li thought to herself, and then asked Granny Su to choose a few good sisters and daughters for the little girl to take back.
Sherry quickly tried to cover it up—sure enough, with so many kids, she really couldn't remember any. But could she admit it? Absolutely not!
Qimuge's eyes widened as she stared at Xue Li with a look of surprise.
"The Manchu, Mongol, and Han peoples will definitely undergo a great cultural integration! We'll take the essence and discard the dross. Don't make a fuss! Your adoptive father is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, what are you afraid of??" Shirley said shamelessly, and she would be even more confident when her son ascended the throne.
"Okay, thank you, Mother! I'll remember!" Qimuge ate with Xueli and met her younger siblings.
In just one afternoon, a few little kids pestered their older sister, refusing to let her leave.
After much coaxing, Sherry finally agreed to let them be her sister's bed-pressing boy.
They finally quieted down one by one.
Sherry gave her several prescriptions: some for strengthening the body, some for beauty and health, and some for detoxification.
Suhe, the old nanny, introduced two aunts to her, but they were taken away by Qimuge!
Sherry sent someone to deliver a bowl of red bean milk tea to Huang Taiji!
Huang Taiji had already received the news and was planning to come over that evening.
After dinner that night, Shirley talked about Qimuge and the two aunts who had been transferred out of the palace.
Sherry belatedly realized that she seemed to have acted first and informed him later!
Sherry: Am I in trouble?
System: No!?
Huang Taiji nodded.
The emperor issued an imperial edict bestowing upon Xue Li the title of Princess Heshuo Duanchun.
Sherry was overjoyed, having thoroughly satisfied the old man.
Because of Shirley's high regard for her and Huang Taiji's bestowal of titles, Qimuge's family valued her highly.
Qimuge also brought her son-in-law to pay their respects to Xueli!
On the day of the wedding, the four little ones insisted on going out, so Huang Taiji arranged for many guards to attend to them!
When Qimuge's husband's family saw the princes and princesses, and the palace guards, they all felt that the new bride's status was elevated, and they became even more respectful and humble.
In the tenth year of Chongde (1644), Li Zicheng captured Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself.
In that year, Li Zicheng of the Shun dynasty captured Beijing, and the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming dynasty hanged himself on Coal Hill, marking the end of the Ming dynasty and the entry of the Qing dynasty into China.
Subsequently, at Li Zicheng's invitation, the Qing army entered the pass, occupied Beijing, and began the Qing Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains.
After entering the pass, the Qing army began a war of unification against the rest of the country. They successively defeated resistance forces in various regions and gradually unified the country.
On August 20th of the same year, the Qing Dynasty began to move its capital.
In September of the same year, Huang Taiji arrived in Beijing from Shengjing (Shenyang) and then offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth.
On the tenth day of the tenth month of the same year, the emperor issued his enthronement edict to the whole country at Huangji Gate (later renamed Taihe Gate), and the Qing Dynasty officially established its capital in Beijing.
This relocation of the capital marked the Qing Dynasty's transformation from a regional regime in the northeast to a unified nation.
After the Qing Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, it carried out a series of political, economic, and cultural adjustments and constructions.
