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

Shen Jiang did not tell the Fourth Prince about her decision, and only gave the system an instruction: "Let the little princess get sick for a while."

The system understood immediately: "Understood!"

A child that young, being taken out for a walk in such a cold weather and surrounded by so many people, would be frightened if not sick.

So, the next morning, the wet nurse told Shen Jiang in panic: "The little princess has a fever!"

Shen Jiang immediately pretended to be anxious and asked, "Why did you have a fever for no reason? When did it start? Is the fever serious?"

She walked quickly to the little princess' room. Another wet nurse was holding the little princess and coaxing her. Shen Jiang saw that the little princess' face was flushed. She reached out and touched her forehead, which was a little hot.

System: "It's alright, host. Little Princess just looks like she has a fever, but she doesn't feel anything."

Shen Jiang: "If the imperial physician takes the little princess's pulse, can he tell that she is not sick?"

System: “Absolutely not!”

Shen Jiang called Nanny Kong over. This time she didn't want to bother Concubine De, but went directly to ask the imperial physician.

The imperial physician hasn't arrived yet, but the empress dowager's reward has arrived first.

Shen Jiang found it quite ironic, but she still accepted the reward respectfully and planned to go to Ningshou Palace to express her gratitude another day.

As soon as the Empress Dowager's reward left, the Emperor's reward came, and then it was Concubine De's.

The last person to come was the imperial physician.

Shen Jiang felt that she was slapping the faces of the two bigwigs in the palace - the Empress Dowager and Kangxi.

They had just praised the Fourth Lady for raising the little princess well, and then the little princess fell ill. It was a slap in the face.

Shen Jiang doesn't care. Who told you to be shameless first?

After all the rewards had been received, the imperial physician finally arrived.

The imperial physician didn't know how to take the pulse of such a young child, so he just looked at her complexion, touched her forehead, and asked the wet nurse how many times the little princess had drunk milk and had urinated or defecated since yesterday.

The wet nurse answered tremblingly, asking every detail, including the details of the trip to Ningshou Palace.

Shen Jiang said, whether intentionally or unintentionally, "Little Gege has never left the courtyard since she was born. Yesterday, she suddenly went to a strange place and met many people. I don't know if she was caught in the wind or frightened on the way there and back."

The imperial physicians who are able to serve the royal family are all very skilled. After hearing what the Fourth Lady said, is there anything he doesn't understand?

He then said carefully, "The little princess is still young, it's not convenient to use medicine. I don't think she caught a cold, but rather got frightened. How about we calm her down first?"

Shen Jiang gave him an admiring look, but at the same time was secretly shocked.

The imperial doctors were so good at guessing the thoughts of the superiors that they could easily hand over the life and death of a child to them. Fortunately, Shen Jiang was not a bad person. If she had met a bad-hearted stepmother, and the little princess really caught a cold and was not frightened, would the little princess still be alive?

No wonder the infant mortality rate was so high in ancient times! On the one hand, medical conditions were limited, and on the other hand, it is difficult to say whether the children died from harem fighting.

The prince's residence invited an imperial physician, and the Fourth Prince returned soon after learning about it.

When he learned that the little princess had been frightened on the road yesterday, he was silent for a while and said, "Then let's calm the little princess down first!"

He went to see the little princess, who had already woken up and looked in good spirits. Her big black eyes looked at him, and Shen Jiang touched her face. She thought he was teasing her, and she giggled as usual.

"The little princess is in good spirits and will be fine." Shen Jiang comforted the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince nodded, feeling a little regretful. He shouldn't have taken the little princess away yesterday. He should have found a reason to refuse.

Shen Jiang added: "I heard that babies have their own immunity within six months after birth and will not get sick. But after six months, they will have no immunity and will get a minor illness. After this minor illness, they will get healthier and healthier."

She is not making this up, this is what modern medicine says.

But the Fourth Prince thought that Fu Jin was comforting him. What was that, the mother's body had its own resistance within six months! There were many children in the palace who died within six months. Didn't they have resistance?

However, he accepted Shen Jiang's kindness and said, "Well, the little princess will definitely be healthy in the future."

I’m sorry, the little princess will get sick every now and then.

Madam Kong sent the doctor out and came back to tell Shen Jiang: "Girl Li is at the door and wants to see Fu Jin."

The Fourth Prince frowned and was about to explode when he heard Shen Jiang say, "Mother and daughter are connected by heart, let her in!"

When Li came in, her eyes were almost swollen. She greeted the Fourth Prince and Shen Jiang, and begged in a low voice that she wanted to see the little princess.

Shen Jiang asked her to go in and see the child and didn't say anything else.

Li went in with gratitude, saw the child's face flushed, touched his forehead and felt the heat, tears rolled down her face.

The little princess seemed to sense something and reached out to touch Li's forehead.

Many people touched her forehead today, and she seemed to have learned it.

In the past, Li could only look at the little princess and had never had any contact with her, but today she was actually touched by the little princess.

Her own flesh and blood was right in front of her, but she didn't even have the right to hug him. Li's heart was broken, and she bit her lips hard, and she refused to let go even when it bled.

She was afraid that if she let go, she would burst into tears.

The wet nurse couldn't bear it and told her in a low voice that the princess was frightened and that she would need to be calmed down soon.

Li nodded, wiped away her tears, gathered her thoughts, looked at the little princess again, and walked out.

"Master, Madam, I will go back and copy two more volumes of scriptures. I will then offer them to the small Buddhist temple and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the little princess."

The Fourth Prince's expression eased and he said, "You are thoughtful."

Li took her leave and returned to her own courtyard, saying to Guixiang, "From today on, I will be a vegetarian until the little princess is fully recovered."

Guixiang was startled: "Princess, you..."

Li waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to say more. From then on, she only ate porridge and small dishes every day, and no meat.

Fortunately, the little princess recovered after a few days of being frightened, but Li never ate meat again from then on.

After the little princess recovered from her "illness", Shen Jiang went to pay her respects to Concubine De.

De Fei asked her, "You are here, how is the little princess?"

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "Thanks to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and you, the little princess is safe."

Concubine De raised her eyelids and looked at her, saying, "I'm glad you're safe. It seems that you still have to be careful when the child is young. Don't take the child out when it's cold."

"My master said the same thing." Shen Jiang smiled, thinking that Concubine De was a really wonderful person.

Everyone in the palace knew that the little princess was sick. After all, calming down is not as easy as taking medicine. If you take medicine, you can take it quietly and no one will know. If you are frightened, you have to invite a shaman to perform a ritual, and the noise is so loud!

Shen Jiang asked the system to set up a shield for the little princess. The little princess slept soundly and was not disturbed at all.

After the shaman-dancing ceremony was over, Shen Jiang let the system slowly retract its illusion, and the little princess "recovered".

In the short term, no one would think of taking the little princess to watch, so the little princess and Shen Jiang could have some peace and quiet.
