Transmigrated into a Qing Dynasty concubine and asked the system to help me raise my children

The autumn wind blows, the autumn rain falls, and the plump crabs are on the market.

In the prince's kitchen, baskets of crabs were carried over from the Qingfengsi restaurant. Look at the crab heads, each weighing at least twenty or three taels.

The master chef personally picked a few crabs and asked the apprentice to wash them, pick out the crab meat and crab roe, and mix them with pork skin jelly, egg liquid, and water chestnut cubes. He added minced ginger and other ingredients to remove the fishy smell, put them into oranges, covered them with orange peels, and put them in a steamer to make a crab stuffed orange dish.

As soon as the crab stuffed with orange came out of the cage, it was put into a food box and brought into the Fourth Prince's courtyard together with several other dishes.

In the main courtyard, the Fourth Prince was writing big characters and his wife was doing needlework.

The palace maids stood with their hands clasped in silence, and the eunuchs outside bowed their heads.

Su Peisheng winked at the eunuchs who were serving the meal. They stood there with their bodies hunched. Su Peisheng walked in, holding his breath, and said, "Master, dinner is here."

The Fourth Prince nodded, put down his brush, and said to Shen Jiang, "The meal is ready."

Shen Jiang put down her purse, raised her head and smiled at the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince also laughed and said, "The fan cover you embroidered for me last time was very beautiful. I wanted to ask you to do more needlework for me, but I was afraid it would hurt your eyes."

Shen Jiang felt that the Fourth Prince was becoming more and more gentle towards her, and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? It's just a few purses, it won't matter. It's my birthday next month, and I'll make a pair of leather slippers for me then."

"Great!" Although he didn't know what slippers were, they must be good things if made by Fu Jin.

The dining table was set, and the two sat down. Shen Jiang called out in surprise: "Crab stuffed with orange!"

The Fourth Prince looked at her and smiled, saying, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to eat this dish?"

Shen Jiang smiled: "So I remember everything. Thank you, it feels so good to be cared for by you."

The Fourth Prince coughed twice, looking a little uncomfortable, but with a smile on his face, he picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat."

There were four crab stuffed oranges in total, and the two of us ate two each.

"Crabs are cold, Madam, please don't eat too many." The Fourth Prince still cares about his health and will not indulge himself.

"Yes, I will follow the Fourth Master's orders." Shen Jiang agreed.

After dinner, they read some books and wrote some words, then rolled into bed.

The Fourth Prince stroked Shen Jiang's back and felt that the lady's skin seemed to be getting smoother and smoother.

System: "How can it not be good? I have taken several courses of beauty pills. Anything produced by this system must be of the highest quality!"

The Fourth Prince really wanted Fu Jin to give birth to a child for him as soon as possible, preferably a boy. Seeing how caring she was for the little princess, he knew that Fu Jin must be a good mother.

Unfortunately, they waited and waited until the little princess’s hundredth day, the fourth prince’s birthday, and winter came. The little princess had even recognized people, but there was still no news of Shen Jiang’s pregnancy.

The Fourth Prince was a little anxious. He had given all his love to Concubine Fu in the past six months, so why was there no good news from her?

Fortunately, he had also read Buddhist scriptures and knew something about the law of cause and effect. Since his wife was not pregnant, it meant that they were not destined to have a child and there was no point in rushing.

The Fourth Prince quickly adjusted his mentality, but when Shen Jiang went to pay his respects to Concubine De, he actually saw Concubine De seeing the imperial physician.

Shen Jiang quickly asked the palace maid Jinxiang: "Is your Majesty feeling unwell?"

Jinxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Lady. Your Majesty is just checking your pulse."

At this time, Concubine De turned around and said, "The Fourth Lady is here. Since it's such a coincidence, why don't we check her pulse?"

Shen Jiang raised his eyebrows, it turned out that the drunkard's real intention was not to drink.

She asked the system: "Can the imperial physician diagnose that I am on contraception?"

System: "What a joke! This system is so powerful. If a little imperial physician from the Qing dynasty can crack the pills of this system, I might as well destroy the abacus!"

Shen Jiang lowered her head and smiled, saying, "Your Majesty, I'll have to trouble the imperial physician."

She thought she could see something as advanced as "diagnosing pulse with a hanging thread"! In the end, the doctor put his hand on your wrist, without a curtain or a piece of cloth on your hand.

The imperial physician will not only take your pulse, but also look at your complexion and ask about your recent diet and menstrual period.

Observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation are all essential.

Treating a patient is not a show of skill. Any mistake would be considered as perfunctory towards the patient and disrespectful to the profession of doctor.

After checking the pulse, the imperial physician replied: "The Fourth Lady is in good health and there is nothing wrong with her."

Concubine De glanced at the imperial physician, then at Shen Jiang, and said, "That's good."

Since there is nothing wrong, why can't I get pregnant?

I heard that the Fourth Prince has been staying at the Concubine's Courtyard for the past six months and has not been to other princesses at all, which shows that the Fourth Concubine has some means. But the Fourth Concubine's means alone are not enough. Without an heir, all the favors she has will be in vain.

Just look at the four concubines of Kangxi, and you will know. They were all born as bondservants and were given titles by giving birth to children.

As for those queens and imperial concubines who were of high birth and left no offspring, are they still around today?

If the Fourth Prince had a good fertile woman by his side, the Fourth Lady's life would not be so easy.

If Shen Jiang could hear Concubine De's inner voice, he would definitely clap his hands and praise her for being an insightful person. No wonder she had been favored for ten years.

This is true, but Shen Jiang just doesn't want to have a child at such a young age.

She pretended not to understand what Concubine De meant. To show her concern, Concubine De rewarded her with a lot of winter tonics.

Shen Jiang came back with supplements and excitedly asked the kitchen to prepare the pot.

Because the Fourth Prince can't eat spicy food, but Shen Jiang loves it! So he drew a double-flavored pot. The Fourth Prince thought this was good, as it could be eaten in one pot and the spicy and non-spicy flavors could be separated.

He asked someone to make the simmered hotpot, and Shen Jiang fell in love with it.

"One soup base is spicy, the other is soup stock. The side dish is still lamb, cut into thin slices and serve in a large plate. The other chicken and duck meats look good, and there are a few types of mushrooms, duck blood, tofu, shrimp, green vegetables, rice cakes, and vermicelli."

After Shen Jiang ordered the dishes, she leaned back on the kang.

It started snowing at around ten o'clock. Su Peisheng came to pick up the fourth prince's dark blue feather satin with round patterns.

Shen Jiang asked Shi Liu to get some clothes, and asked Pu Tao to pour a bowl of hot milk tea for Su Peisheng, saying, "It's freezing outside, and you have to run back and forth. Drink a bowl of milk tea to get rid of the cold!"

Su Peisheng didn't dare to refuse the reward from the concubine. When he held the bowl, the picture that popped up in his mind was: the Fourth Prince took the milk tea handed over by the concubine, took a sip and spit it out.

"Why is this milk tea sweet?" The Fourth Prince was confused.

Shen Jiang was even more confused than him: "Milk tea is sweet!"

Fourth Prince: "Nonsense, milk tea is obviously salty."

The two of them stared at each other, as if they were not arguing about milk tea, but soy milk and tofu pudding.

Before the Qing army entered the pass, they drank milk tea almost every day. Their milk tea was salty, just like Mongolian milk tea. Drink milk tea and eat jerky!

But as a modern person, Shen Jiang naturally thinks milk tea should be sweet! Guiyu Oolong without ice, 50% sugar and milk cap, thank you!

After winter came, there was hot milk tea in the teapot in Shen Jiang's room every day.

Su Peisheng took a bite and found that it was sweet.
