From then on, Nian Gengyao was very respectful to Yongzheng. In the third year of Yongzheng's reign, he requested to be transferred from Qinghai to Beijing for recuperation on the grounds of frequent foot disease.

After three petitions, Yongzheng finally approved it. After that, he gradually removed his military power and only kept his title.

Nian Gengyao broke out in a cold sweat at this moment. If he had not listened to the empress, he would have angered the emperor and would have died!

Yongzheng also sighed to Shen Jiang: "This is good, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of our friendship between the monarch and his subjects."

Shen Jiang smiled noncommittally and said, "The emperor's mourning period is over, so it's time to select a concubine, right?"

Yongzheng frowned and said, "The Queen just mentioned it a few days ago, and you mentioned it too. What, do you really want me to select one?"

Shen Jiang said: "It's not that I can get it if I want it or not if I don't want it. This is the rule of our ancestors. All women from the Eight Banners must be selected. If they don't first, they can't get married. We can't delay the marriage of the common people just because the emperor doesn't want it."

"Forget it," Yongzheng sighed, "Just choose!"

In August of the third year of Yongzheng's reign, Yongzheng ended his mourning period. He actually mourned for 27 months, without using months instead of years. When it came to Qianlong, it was even more unfilial, and he used days instead of years, and the mourning period was over in three days.

The announcement of the talent show was passed down, and every household and every place became busy.

There has not been a beauty pageant for many years since the late years of Emperor Kangxi, so the scale of this beauty pageant can be said to be unprecedented.

It was not until December that the draft was scheduled for the 15th and 16th.

Hundreds of people had to be selected within two days, and Yongzheng's eyes must have been dazzled.

But this did not pose a problem for Yongzheng. He developed a crystal mirror that allowed people to see very clearly when they wore it. This is what we call glasses in later generations.

He made more than twenty pairs of glasses, made of various materials. Even Shen Jiang praised him for being smart when he saw them.

"There are many ministers in the court who suffer from eye diseases. Your Majesty, why don't you give them some rewards so that they can appreciate your kindness."

Yongzheng nodded and said, "You are absolutely right. Sometimes when I see old officials writing memorials at their desks, they are really struggling because of their blurry eyes."

Now, everyone with myopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism has a pair of glasses. The ministers can see things much more clearly with the glasses, and they have to shout out “The emperor’s grace is so great” when they talk about it.

Yongzheng wore glasses to the selection of concubines. He looked around for two days and selected about ten. He only kept four for himself and gave the others to his relatives.

He also listened to Shen Jiang's advice and allowed the concubines to spend the New Year reunion at home before entering the palace.

The reason why he was so reasonable was, firstly, that he loved Shen Jiang even more after the incident with Nian Gengyao, and secondly, because Shen Jiang diagnosed that she was pregnant.

The system has told her that this time it is twins, so Shen Jiang is acting extra carefully.

The first thing Yongzheng turned over after he came out of mourning was Shen Jiang's nameplate. After turning it over a few times, she became pregnant. Yongzheng felt that he was still in good health, and this was his first child after he ascended the throne, so he was even happier.

He was happy, but the Queen was not.

"Nian damaged her body by using perfume before. Wasn't it said that she would not get pregnant? How could she still get pregnant?" The original Sister Qiu who was by the queen's side was no longer there. After entering the palace, the palace maids around her were replaced every three months, and she had no one available at all.

At this time, I was just talking to myself.

Her power has been hollowed out, and she has no way to do anything to Shen Jiang. She can only watch as Shen Jiang is favored and has a son, and knows that in the future Shen Jiang will surely become more powerful than herself because of her son!

She sank powerlessly and painfully in this remote Zhongcui Palace. Occasionally, she wanted to pass a sign to ask to see Yongzheng, but was not allowed.

The Empress of the Qing Dynasty was of little use. Even if someone wanted to say a few good words on her behalf and plead for her, Yongzheng was the most arbitrary and arbitrary ruler and no one dared to cross his path.

It would be better to depose me... Ulanara thought so, but quickly rejected it. No, she cannot be deposed. Even if she is a puppet, she will occupy the position of queen!

If I don't die, you will be the concubine after all!

Ulanara laughed almost crazily towards the sky, and the palace maids guarding outside the door looked at each other and covered their ears.

Supplements and gold and silver rewards poured into the Yikun Palace like water, dazzling the newly promoted beauties.

"The Emperor really dotes on the Imperial Concubine."

"You don't want your life!"

As soon as one of the concubines said something, she was stopped by the other one with a fierce glare.

The chief eunuch of Yikun Palace glanced at the four people indifferently, winked and asked the young eunuch to send them away.

The persimmon is lying under the corridor. It is old and would rather not move.

It was inconvenient to keep Zaohua and Baifu in the palace, so they were sent to the kennel to be with their other friends.

Shen Jiang was leaning on the kang while Fule was selecting the jewelry from the gift. He smiled and said, "Ernie, I want this hairpin."

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "Take whatever you like."

Fu Yi was practicing calligraphy on the side, and without even looking up, he said, "Wait until I finish practicing calligraphy, and I'll come and see what's there."

Fule: "Put your pen down and read it now."

Fu Yi: "No, I have to finish it."

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "You know your brother, once he picks up his schoolbag, paper and pen, he won't put them down until he finishes reading or writing. This is obsessive-compulsive disorder."

Fule giggled, and Fuyi smiled helplessly, but did not stop his hands.

I thought Yongzheng would come today, but he said he was busy and rested in the Yangxin Palace.

On the second day, the chief eunuch of Yikun Palace reported to Shen Jiang in a panic: "I heard from Zhang An-da of Qianqing Palace that the emperor got angry and wanted to adopt the third prince to Prince Lian."

"What do you mean?"

Hongshi had always been close to Yunsi, and Yongzheng hated this. He wanted to demote Yunsi, but Hongshi jumped out to plead for him. This was simply provoking the emperor!

In a rage, Yongzheng made Hongshi the son of his eighth uncle.

When Concubine Qi heard the news, she came to Yikun Palace crying, wanting to ask Shen Jiang to help her plead for mercy.

Shen Jiang is not stupid. If she begs for mercy, who knows whose son her son will be forced to become!

Yongzheng fought a battle of wits and courage with his brothers in the court, and was stabbed in the back by his own son when he returned. He was exhausted both physically and mentally, and could only find a little comfort in the Yikun Palace looking at the woman he loved and his well-behaved children.

After testing Fu Yi's homework, Yongzheng's expression relaxed.

"Fuyi has a photographic memory and is diligent and enterprising. He is a good child." Yongzheng touched Fuyi's head and made up his mind to appoint him as the crown prince.

After a few days, he summoned his trusted ministers from both the Manchu and Han sides, secretly established a crown prince, and placed him behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming".

Then, he devoted himself to the cultivation of Fu Yi, hired the best teachers for him, and sometimes taught him personally.

In June of the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign, Concubine Nian gave birth to twins. Yongzheng was overjoyed and named them Fuhui and Fupei.

Both children were white, plump and healthy. Yongzheng originally wanted to use this opportunity to issue a general amnesty, but he had already appointed Fuyi as the crown prince. In order to avoid being misunderstood as favoring the twins, he gave up this idea and only held an exceptionally grand full-month banquet for the twins.

The full moon banquet lasted for three days. The outer court and the inner court celebrated together, the rewards for the harem were doubled, and even the queen attended in her best attire.

Ulanara looked at the twins in the bright red swaddling clothes with a gloomy look in her eyes and said, "You are the most blessed, Concubine Nian."

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "Thanks to the Queen's blessing, the Queen looks pretty good!"

Ulanara stared at her, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and said: "Yes, of course I will be fine. According to the ancestral rules, the imperial concubine cannot be appointed when the queen is present!"

"so?"

"So, as long as I am here, your position as a concubine will end here!"

Shen Jiang looked at her in surprise, then laughed involuntarily, saying, "Empress, I don't care about what you care about. For me, being an Imperial Consort or a Noble Consort is just a matter of how much I get. The Emperor will naturally subsidize me with this little bit of money. As long as the Emperor favors me, I don't care even if it's the position of Empress."

After saying that, she turned and left, ignoring the queen whose face turned pale with anger.

But I also feel bad. After all, I am a weak and helpless little white flower. Why is he becoming more and more arrogant?

I called the system several times in my head, but the system didn't respond.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the system recently. It crashes all the time. After completing this task, I will have to ask the programmer to find the bug!

At this time, Yongzheng and Hongli arrived one after another. It is said that Hongli personally trained a dog. The dog was very clever, understood everything, and did whatever he was told.

Hongli specially gave this dog to Shen Jiang, saying it was a filial act.

"I will show it to the imperial concubine later, and then she will know how smart this dog is." Hongli said with a little pride.

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "You are thoughtful."

She glanced at the hound, which was being led by someone. It looked around uneasily and made a whining sound.

Shen Jiang went to greet a few concubines, and when she came back to prepare for the banquet, she saw Shizi walking towards her lazily with his two front legs resting on her knees.

"What's wrong? Is Persimmon hungry?" Shen Jiang gently touched its head.

Persimmon: "That dog is weird. It keeps saying 'Fall down, big red silk. Fall down, big red silk'. I don't know what it means."

Shen Jiang's face changed and he comforted it: "It's okay, Persimmon, be good, I'll reward you with stewed meat later." Persimmon is old and can no longer chew bones, so he can only eat stewed meat.

She called the wet nurse and saw that the twins were indeed wrapped in bright red swaddling clothes, which was almost the standard for the full month celebration of a royal prince.

"Change the swaddling clothes to the royal blue one, go!"

She checked Fule and Fuyi again, and saw that Fuyi was also wearing a red silk shirt, so she hurriedly asked him to change it, and called the chief eunuch of Yikun Palace to come.

"Zhou Dahai, change your inner pants into red silk pants, later..." She leaned over and gave Zhou Dahai these instructions.

Zhou Dahai nodded: "I understand!" and went to change his pants.

Shen Jiang went to the banquet and everything went normal at the banquet. A drama troupe was arranged after the banquet and everything also went normal.

When Hongli said he wanted to perform dog training for everyone, Shen Jiang winked at Zhou Dahai, who nodded and lifted up his outer robe, revealing his trouser legs underneath.

The dog was led up, and at first it did a good job of sitting, lying, standing, rolling around, and pretending to be dead, and even received cheers from the concubines and others in the harem.

Then, Hongli blew a whistle, and the dog's ears stood up immediately, and its eyes searched everywhere, and this search found Zhou Dahai's pants.

It pounced on him and bit him tightly. Although Zhou Dahai was lined with cotton, he was still bitten with two bloody holes.

The women around were so frightened that they turned pale and screamed in panic. The other eunuchs rushed forward to help. Shen Jiang shouted, "We can't keep this dog alive after seeing blood. Kill it!"

A clever little eunuch picked up a chair and smashed it hard on the dog's head, knocking it unconscious.

Shen Jiang stared at Hongli fiercely and shouted, "Come here, capture him!"

Hongli struggled hard, shouting, "Bitch! Bitch! I knew it was you! You must have traveled through time as well! The Fuyi, Fuhui, and Fupei in history died long ago, they shouldn't be alive! They should have died long ago!"

Yongzheng rushed over after hearing the news, and as soon as he arrived he heard Hongli cursing Fuyi and the twins. How could this be tolerated!

After an overnight interrogation, Nian Ganger learned that Hongli trained dogs in his mansion, wrapping raw meat in red silk every day and letting the dogs bite it, in order to bite the twins to death at the twins' full-month banquet.

After Yongzheng's rage, he calmed down and said, "I wanted to spare his life, hoping that he would change his ways, but who knew he would be so cruel and mad. In this case, there is no need to spare his life, just execute him!"

The way Hongli died was not by poison, dagger or white silk, but by "sticking an official" on his face, which meant covering his face with layers of wet cotton paper and suffocating him to death.

After Hongli's death, Yongzheng was silent for a while, but he soon cheered up and threw himself into work. When he was in a bad mood, naturally someone would be unlucky.

The unlucky one this time was Longkodo.

In the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, Longkodo was imprisoned.

Nian Gengyao touched the back of his neck and once again felt grateful to the imperial concubine in the palace.

The imperial concubine was the only one favored in the harem. Although the selection was held every three years, Yongzheng only chose two symbolically to be raised in the harem, and the rest were assigned to clan relatives.

In the ninth year of Yongzheng's reign, Empress Ulanara, who had been strong-willed all her life, died of illness.

In the same year, Noble Consort Nian was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort.

Under Shen Jiang's careful care, Yongzheng lived a few years longer than historical records show, and died in the 18th year of his reign.

At this time, Fu Yi had already married and had children, and was able to take care of himself.

Shen Jiang still stays in this plane because she has an unfulfilled wish.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager recently asked the Shengping Office to write a play?" The new emperor Fu Yi asked Zhou Dahai, the chief eunuch of Shoukang Palace.

After Zhou Dahai was bitten by a dog that year, he became lame in one leg and walked with one leg uneven, but the Empress Dowager doted on him even more.

Zhou Dahai smiled and said, "Yes, the Empress Dowager not only wrote the play, but also wrote the storybook!"

The story is about a concubine who was the most favored by the emperor in a certain dynasty. She was of noble birth and gentle temperament. After entering the palace, she and the emperor had an epic and moving love story.

Fu Yi: It sounds a little strange. Is it because I opened it the wrong way? I looked at it again, and it still didn't sound right.

Zhou Dahai wiped his tears and said, "I was deeply moved when I heard it! Everyone in the teahouse and under the overpass wept when they heard it."

Fu Yi's forehead twitched, and he pursed his lips and said, "As long as the Queen Mother likes it."

Empress Dowager Shen Jiang of Shoukang Palace closed the storybook with satisfaction: "Well, my figure has become taller in an instant!"

........................

Shen Jiang came out of the work cabin and instantly felt something was wrong.

So quiet!

When has the bureau ever been so quiet?

She walked out and didn't meet a single colleague, and even the cafeteria was empty!

There is no one in the conference room, no one in the office area, and no one in other work areas!

She had to go to the computer room, and sure enough, everyone was there.

There is also a stranger.

The stranger was a young girl, about twenty years old, who was walking through the crowd and looking at her.

Shen Jiang was panicked for no reason: "Who are you?"

Girl: "I'm Jiang Ling."

The new guy who was fighting with the Lord God!

and many more!

If Jiang Ling is here, then where is the Lord God?

Jiang Ling seemed to know what she was thinking and told her: "The Lord God has been devoured by me. From now on, I am your new God."

Shen Jiang's eyes blurred. It was all over. The chairman who had promised her a promotion and salary increase was gone. The new chairman seemed to be difficult to deal with.

"I know you, the tasker." Shen Jiang didn't even see Jiang Ling's movements clearly, she had already come in front of him, "Your system has been destroyed by me."

"what?"

"Systems such as parenting, childbirth, and good pregnancy should not exist. I have destroyed them all." Jiang Ling lightly touched the table with her fingertips, and she merged with the table.

It seems that she can transform into any form and travel through any dimension of time and space.

Shen Jiang still wanted to fight for herself and said, "Yes, yes, these things are anti-human! They exploit women and enslave women. They are cancer. Destroy them. God, you are so great! That... can I still work for you in the future?"

Jiang Ling returned to human form, stood in front of her, and said, "I have read your file. You don't need to carry out missions anymore. I want to build a new world of order, so if you are willing, you will be my constructor."

All the quick-travel worlds are completed by constructors.

This means that Shen Jiang can create his own world.

She couldn't hide her excitement: "Really?"

Jiang Ling stretched out a finger to her. Shen Jiang lowered her head and stretched out her finger as well, as if possessed by a ghost.

When her fingertips touched, Shen Jiang felt a powerful energy exploding in her body. She seemed to have traveled back to the first year of prehistoric times in an instant, and then to the future era in an instant.

And all of this really only happened in a moment.

When he came back to his senses again, Shen Jiang was sweating profusely.

Jiang Ling asked: "Are you willing?"

Shen Jiang panted: "Of course!" Just after he finished speaking, Jiang Ling disappeared again. Shen Jiang looked around: "God, where are you?"

The voice came from all directions: "I am everywhere."

Shen Jiang took a few deep breaths, wiped the sweat off his face, and looked at his old colleagues.

Her colleagues smiled at her, and it seemed that everyone had surrendered.

He who knows the current affairs is a hero!

It doesn’t matter if the chairman is fired, just throw yourself into the arms of the new chairman and continue to get promoted and get a raise!
