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

Yonghe Palace is located in the eastern six palaces and was the residence of the fourth prince’s mother, Concubine Defei Uya.

When Shen Jiang arrived, Concubine De had just gotten up.

There is no queen in the palace. Imperial Concubine Niuhulu passed away last year, so the concubines in the harem only need to pay their respects to the empress dowager every now and then.

Since Concubine De didn't have to meet the Queen Mother today, she wasn't so nervous.

But she didn't like her son's fourth wife very much, because although she was very young, she looked more nervous than herself.

But she insisted on coming every day to "fulfill her filial piety". Concubine De had told her many times not to come every day, but she wouldn't listen.

"Serving De'en is a daughter-in-law's duty." She said this every time. Defei was tired of hearing it, so she just let her be.

Shen Jiang felt Defei's coldness and recalled the scenes when the original owner and Defei got along with each other, and couldn't help feeling ashamed.

The original owner is a bit stubborn! Life is so tiring!

Without waiting for Concubine De to speak, Shen Jiang took the initiative to say, "It's getting hotter and hotter these days. I told the two princesses in the courtyard today that they don't need to pay their respects every day to avoid getting heatstroke."

Defei looked at her in surprise, and seeing that she had a smile on her face and her eyes were clear, she felt even more incredible.

Wow, it turns out she can laugh!

De Fei nodded and said, "You are right. Filial piety is not about this. I have told you so many times before. You finally understand it."

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "I was mistaken before. From now on, I will need your guidance."

Concubine De continued to nod: "As long as you are willing to listen."

I hope she really thinks it through this time.

Having expressed her stance in front of Concubine De, Shen Jiang did not stay any longer. She was hungry and wanted to go back for breakfast.

According to usual practice, the original owner would definitely eat two pieces of snacks before going out. But today, in order to avoid talking nonsense with the Song family, Shen Jiang came out without eating anything.

Although the temperature in the morning was not too high, the sun in June was still quite bright.

After walking from the prince's residence to Yonghe Palace, Shen Jiang was already extremely hungry.

"Grape, go to the kitchen and order some food. I'll just have a bowl of mung bean porridge and two vegetarian buns. Oh, and see if they have any pickled radishes. If not, you can get other side dishes."

It was such a hot day that Shen Jiang couldn't eat any meat, otherwise she would have had a basket of steamed dumplings.

Grape responded and ran quickly to the kitchen.

The princes all have their own separate "Princes' Kitchen". They usually order their meals here, without having to go to the Imperial Tea Kitchen.

When Shen Jiang returned to her room, the first thing she did was to change her clothes.

Shi Liu helped her change into light casual clothes swiftly and said, "Fu Jin finally knows it's time to relax." On weekdays, even if she was sweating profusely, Fu Jin would always wear her cheongsam as a cheongsam and her outer coat as an outer coat.

Shen Jiang took a bowl of cooled tea and drank most of it in one go, just as breakfast arrived.

A big bowl of mung bean and lily porridge, a plate of mushroom and vegetable dumplings, a plate of salt and pepper biscuits. Pickled radish was also brought, and there was a small pickle that looked good.

After Shen Jiang had breakfast, according to the original owner's habit, it was time to copy Buddhist scriptures.

Looking at the volumes of Buddhist scriptures on the desk, Shen Jiang shook his head and sighed, "How can you be so disillusioned with the world at such a young age?" He called Madam Kong, put all the books away, and replaced them with other books.

Grandma Kong's eyes were filled with tears of excitement: "Fujin, you finally stop looking at these things!" After saying that, she felt that what she said seemed disrespectful to the Buddha, so she quickly slapped his mouth lightly.

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "Madam, there is no need to be like this. I should have listened to you a long time ago."

Madam Kong heaved a long sigh of relief, looked at Shen Jiang, and said comfortingly: "I hope Fu Jin can be like today in the future, with a smile on her face and a spirited look."

Shen Jiang naturally knew how to explain her transformation. She was a little shy, gently stroking her belly, and said, "I should think more about myself, take good care of my body, and give birth to a healthy and smiling little prince for the Fourth Prince as soon as possible. My mood is cheerful, and God will surely bless me."

Madam Kong nodded repeatedly: "Fujin is right!"

That’s great! Fu Jin has thought it through and no longer lives in a tense state. She will definitely win the favor of the prince.

As long as the prince can come a few more times and the lady is pregnant, there will be no need to worry anymore.

Nanny Kong was happily tidying up the scriptures on the desk. Shen Jiang looked around and found that there were no other books here except the scriptures.

What else could she do? She didn't like visiting other people, so was she going to start counting the floor tiles?

so boring!

He was so bored that he sent all the maids away and sat cross-legged on the kang, practicing breathing techniques.

This was something she learned during a certain cultivation mission. Absorbing fresh air and exhaling turbid air could make people feel refreshed and prolong their life.

For a diligent employee like her who has been completing tasks all year round, completing a task is like living the entire life of the original owner. If every task was kept, her brain would explode.

So, she chose to clear her memory but retain her core skills. This was her little idea!

After practicing the breathing method, I broke out in a sweat and it’s time to eat more.

That’s right, although the Qing Dynasty had a two-meal system, people still had snacks between meals.

Breakfast is from about 6 to 8 o'clock, dinner is from about 12 noon to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, with a snack in between. The dinner at 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening is called a wine meal, and there is also a snack in between.

If you can eat five meals a day, that's pretty good.

Shen Jiang ordered some snacks while thinking.

With a simple bowl of almond cheese, two-color lotus crisps and emerald bean cake, Shen Jiang was very satisfied.

Kong Mama, Shi Liu, Pu Tao and others were also very satisfied. Fu Jin had a good appetite and was in a good mood, which made people feel happy. When the prince came in the evening, she would definitely be happy.

The Fourth Prince arrived before nightfall.

Because Shen Jiang ate a little too much snack, she was not hungry at noon.

When I woke up from a nap, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

"See if there is any food in the kitchen?" Shen Jiang's words made people laugh.

What is the purpose of the prince's kitchen? We can't let these princes and grandchildren starve!

Shen Jiang was amused himself, and told Grape: "Order me a portion of cold noodles, cook it with broth, and rinse it with cold water. Also prepare a sauce, and bring me the braised meat, cucumber, Chinese mustard, edamame and other mixed vegetables, and I'll add them as you see fit."

Grape kept all the words in mind, and then heard Shen Jiang say, "Another bowl of iced sour plum soup."

The original owner had never taken the initiative to order food before. She would just ate whatever was available. Sometimes, if she came across something she didn’t like, she would just take a few bites and stop without saying anything.

Shen Jiang was busy ordering meals all day.

However, it was precisely this contrast that caught the Fourth Prince's attention.

The Fourth Prince just returned from Zhaoren Palace in the scorching sun. He hasn’t eaten yet and is very hungry!

I originally wanted to go to Li's place to eat something, but I happened to meet Grape. Behind Grape were two eunuchs serving meals, each holding a food box in his hand.

"What is this?" asked the Fourth Prince.

Grape replied, "My Lord, this is the dinner Fu Jin ordered: cold noodles and sour plum soup."

What kind of dinner does two eunuchs need to serve? Cold noodles and sour plum soup, just the sound of it whets my appetite.

Before he knew it, the Fourth Prince was already standing in Lady Fu Jin's yard.
