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

"Do you have a way to get the Fifth Princess to take the summer-relief pill?" Shen Jiang asked.

The system said complacently: "As long as you get in touch with her, I have a way."

It seemed simple enough, but the fact was that on the way to Rehe, Shen Jiang couldn't meet the Fifth Princess at all, and the Fifth Princess had already suffered from heatstroke!

Shen Jiang still listened to the Fourth Prince: "Wen Xian has not been feeling well these days, and the Queen Mother is very worried."

No one took the small matter of getting heatstroke seriously. Who would have thought that heatstroke could kill people!

Shen Jiang took out the two summer-relief pills, handed them to him, and said, "These are the summer-relief pills I asked the Imperial Hospital to prescribe. They taste good to me, and I haven't felt uncomfortable all the way."

She did ask the Imperial Hospital to prescribe medicine before she left, but it was different from the one provided by the system. This was given by the system.

The fourth prince smiled and said, "It's okay. The Imperial Hospital has also prepared medicine for the Queen Mother. Wen Xian will not be short of medicine when he is with the Queen Mother."

Shen Jiang didn't want to force it, so she quietly put away the summer-relief pill.

The fifth princess died of illness just two days after she moved into the Rehe Palace.

The Fourth Prince couldn't believe it. Wen Xian came with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was so old and she was fine, but Wen Xian was only 20 years old, how could he be dead?

He had three younger sisters, two of whom died as minors, and only Wen Xian lived to get married.

But she had only been married for two years, and she was gone just like that...

When Concubine De heard the news in the palace, she burst into tears, and the Queen Mother and Emperor Kangxi felt guilty because it was they who asked the Fifth Princess to come to Rehe. If the Fifth Princess had not come, would this disaster have happened?

How could one die of heat stroke while trying to escape the heat?

The originally joyful summer vacation trip became a disaster because of the death of the fifth princess.

However, having spent so much manpower and resources to come to Rehe, we cannot just return to Beijing just because a princess died.

Kangxi stayed with the Empress Dowager in Rehe until the end of August before returning to Beijing. The younger generations had no choice but to follow the decisions of the two giants.

The Fourth Prince was in a very low mood. Even when Shen Jiang brought the children in front of him to attract his attention, he could only force a smile.

This time, Concubine De did not come out with them. After they hurried back to the palace from Rehe, the first thing they did was to visit Concubine De.

Defei's complexion was not very good. According to the palace maid Sister Zhu, Defei fell ill after the news of the fifth princess' death came.

"I hope De Enie takes care of himself." The Fourth Prince was not good at saying anything cheesy, only this.

Shen Jiang said: "Fifth sister has been sensible since she was young. If she saw De'enie not taking care of her body, she would be sad too."

Defei's eyes turned red again. She said, "I know. Don't worry." She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and asked, "Are Honghui and the others all right?"

Shen Jiang replied: "Thanks to the queen, the children are all well. They are just a little tired today. I will bring them to pay their respects to you tomorrow."

"Okay, remember to bring them here tomorrow." Defei still likes Honghui very much. If she can see Honghui more, maybe she will feel better.

The Fourth Prince and Shen Jiang took their leave. As soon as they left, Concubine De's expression became dull and her eyes lost their luster.

The personal maid Zhu Jie offered her tea, but she took it but didn't drink it. She murmured, "So many people are here to escape the summer heat, young and old, but Wen Xian is the only one who is fine... Is this really fate?"

She was born into a bondservant family and was promoted to the position of imperial concubine for her contribution in giving birth to offspring. However, she gave birth to six children, and in the end only two were left alive.

Thinking of this, Concubine De burst into tears again.

On the way back with the Fourth Prince, Shen Jiang said, "I will bring Honghui and Zalafen to pay respects to the Queen every day. I hope that when the Queen sees the two children, it will ease the pain of losing the Fifth Princess."

The Fourth Prince nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

"It is my duty to be filial to my mother. It is not hard at all."

The next day, after Honghui finished class, Shen Jiang took him and Zarafen to Yonghe Palace.

Defei had already prepared a table full of snacks and milk tea. After Honghui and Zarafen paid their respects, Defei lovingly allowed them to eat the snacks.

"Are you tired after a whole day of school?" Defei asked with a gentle smile.

Honghui shook his head: "Ma, I'm not tired, just a little hungry. Thank you for preparing so many delicious foods."

De Fei stroked his head and said with a smile: "If you are hungry, eat more."

Zarafen also expressed her gratitude. Concubine De had not paid much attention to her before, but when she saw her at this time, she couldn't help but think of the Fifth Princess and felt a sense of transference.

"How is Zarafen's health?" Concubine De asked Shen Jiang.

Shen Jiang said hurriedly: "When the seasons change, it is inevitable to have some minor illnesses, but the rest is nothing serious."

Zarafen coughed twice gracefully and said softly, "Thanks to Ene's careful care over the years, Zarafen is still in good health."

She and Shen Jiang had already reached a tacit understanding that she would "get sick" every once in a while, and if she appeared in front of others, she would be as weak as Lin Daiyu.

Therefore, everyone in the palace tacitly agreed that the Second Princess of the Fourth Prince's family was not in good health!

Concubine De touched Zarafen's hair lovingly and said, "It's okay. Just take care of your health and don't worry too much. You have your father and mother! If things don't work out, you still have your mother and your mother."

Zarafen smiled delicately and said softly, "Thank you, Mama, for your care."

Concubine De originally sent the fifth princess to be raised by the Empress Dowager so that she would not have to worry about being raised when she grew up. Facts have proved that she made the right move, but things in the world are unpredictable.

Zarafen is young and weak, and the best outcome for her in the future is to marry her in the capital, rather than to raise her.

Shen Jiangzheng asked Honghui: "Starting tomorrow, after school, come to Mama's place for some snacks, okay?"

"Okay!" Honghui answered readily.

De Fei's eyes flashed with joy, Shen Jiang smiled and said: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble De E Ni more in the future."

They will leave the palace next year, but Honghui will still stay in the palace to study. It is impossible for him to go home every day, otherwise he will be too tired.

Rather than being caught off guard at that time, it is better to let Honghui adapt early.

Concubine De smiled and said, "Why bother? It's just preparing some food."

Shen Jiang had not discussed this decision with the Fourth Prince before, and only told him about it when she returned this time.

The Fourth Prince did not object and said, "You have considered it very carefully." Then he said that he was going to leave the palace again, "Khan Ama wants to go to the south to inspect the river works. I will go with the Crown Prince and Thirteenth Brother."

Yo, the trio is going out together again.

Acting together so frequently, it seems that the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince will be labeled as “Princelings”.

It is obvious that Kangxi chose the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince as assistants to the Crown Prince, especially the Thirteenth Prince, whom Kangxi valued very much.

The Fourth Prince is deep-minded, but the Thirteenth Prince is cheerful and generous, and a man of both civil and military talents. Compared with the Fourth Prince, he is more favored by Kangxi.

Before leaving, the Fourth Prince went to bid farewell to Concubine De.

Concubine De told him to relax: "Do your job well. I'm in the palace and will not let Honghui suffer any loss. Your wife is also a good person. You should write more letters home and don't let him worry about you."

The fourth prince said, "I will keep in mind what you taught me."
