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

In the fifty-seventh year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Nian was made concubine.

In the same year, the third princess of Prince Yong's palace, Qi Buchen, was betrothed to a man from the Balin tribe of Mongolia, and the wedding date was set for February of the 59th year of the Kangxi reign.

After Song learned the news, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She trembled and was supported by two maids as she went to see Shen Jiang.

"Princess, Princess..." Song's lips were trembling with fear, and she couldn't speak coherently. "Can you..."

Shen Jiang was also reluctant, but she knew that by saving Zarafen and letting her marry in the capital, she was destined to lose Qi Buchen.

Yinzhen was not yet the emperor, so it was impossible for him to let both daughters stay in Beijing. One of them had to be sacrificed.

"This is the emperor's order." Shen Jiang's words extinguished all of Song's hopes.

Qi Buchen walked in wearing riding boots, a fiery red riding uniform, and sweat on her forehead. She glanced at Song, bit her lip, and said, "Ene, there are still two years before the wedding day, I want to go to Mongolia first."

Song looked at her in surprise, but Shen Jiang didn't show much surprise and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Qi Buchen nodded and said, "I know how my mother raised me and my sister these years. We are the only two daughters in our family. My sister is married in the capital, so I must go to Mongolia to help her. Anyway, we have to get married in two years, so why not go to Mongolia now to adapt to the situation."

Shen Jiang said, "I will discuss this with your father." He glanced at Song and said, "You should spend more time with Concubine Fujin!"

When Yinzhen came back in the evening, Shen Jiang told him about Qi Buchen's plan. Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Qi Buchen's character is stronger than Zarafen's. This is why I married Zarafen in the capital. They both learned riding and shooting since childhood. They can eat meat and drink, and their health is pretty good. What they lack now is to adapt to the Mongolian environment!"

Shen Jiang asked: "So, you agree?"

Yinzhen said: "Let her bring good people with her."

According to the royal rules, when the princes reach a certain age, they will choose capable hahazhuzi to be around. Honghui, Hongshi, Hongzhao and Hongxi each have four hahazhuzi. After Honghui got married, these hahazhuzi became his subjects and were loyal to him alone.

When princesses reach a certain age, there will only be maids around to discipline them and teach them the rules.

Shen Jiang hated this so much that although she arranged nannies for her daughters, she would never allow them to discipline the children. If she found out, she would immediately expel them from the house.

"It's hard to find a high-ranking official, but isn't it hard to find an obedient female servant who is willing to serve the princess?" Shen Jiang didn't give any face at all. She didn't want good girls to be disciplined like wood by the maids, with their every move as if measured with a ruler.

After Zarafen got engaged, she and Yinzhen were ready for Qi Buchen to take care of Meng. Shen Jiang then asked Yinzhen to let Qi Buchen lead a team of haha ​​beads himself.

At first, Yinzhen did not agree. After Shen Jiang's constant persuasion and Qi Buchen's own efforts, Yinzhen reluctantly selected four boys.

Qi Buchen was not at all nervous. He took out a jade pendant and hung it on the arrow. He shot it and hit the arrow right in the heart. The jade pendant did not move at all.

She said loudly: "From now on, I am your master!"

This move indeed shocked these people and made Yinzhen agree to let her have her own subordinate.

This time, Qi Buchen went to Mongolia first, and he brought these four people with him except for two maids.

"Father, mother, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely." Qi Buchen mounted his horse, looking heroic. "I will go and see my future husband. If I don't like him, please ask the emperor to change my husband for me."

Yinzhen never thought that she would have such thoughts!

Shen Jiang answered first, "Okay! Just pick the one you like, man from the grassland!"

Yinzhen looked at Shen Jiang helplessly, and instructed Qi Buchen: "Be careful, remember to write a letter, and come back early." He glanced at the person following Qi Buchen again. No need to say anything, just a look was enough.

Song hid behind the door, daring only to show half of her body. She wanted to go forward and say goodbye to Qi Buchen, but she was afraid that what she said would be discouraging and would upset the prince and princess.

Qi Buchen set off, and would write letters back wherever he went, sharing with Shen Jiang the interesting things and experiences that happened along the way.

When the news reached the palace, Concubine De blamed Shen Jiang: "How could you let her go to Mongolia alone?"

Shen Jiang smiled professionally: "De'ene, Qi Buchen is not alone..."

"How can a girl live in peace at home when she goes to such a faraway place without a fixed place to live? You should write a letter to ask her to come back, and the same goes for the fourth brother. Why do you allow yourselves to do whatever you want?"

Shen Jiang listened but didn't do it, which made Concubine De very angry.

Kangxi was not as surprised as Concubine De. He admired the initiative of Yinzhen's family and asked Yinzhen, "Why did you think of letting Qi Buchen go to Mongolia first?"

Yinzhen replied: "Qi Buchen is a Manchu princess. She is a fledgling eagle and will fly high one day. Since the sky and the grassland are her future home, why not make plans early?"

There were many princesses in the Qing Dynasty, but not many of them lived long.

Yinzhen had no other request for his daughter except one: to stay alive!

Kangxi seemed touched. He looked into the distance and sighed, saying, "Parents who love their children will always plan for them in the long run!"

The father and son were silent for a long time. As the sky was getting dark, Yinzhen was about to help Kangxi back to his room when Kangxi suddenly said, "It's winter month to offer sacrifices to the heavens. You go on my behalf!"

Yinzhen was stunned, and then broke out in a cold sweat. He knelt down hurriedly and said, "I have no intention of plotting to be crowned as the heir!"

Kangxi sighed, "You are good in everything except being too suspicious. Get up and go and save them."

Yinzhen dared not say anything, and Kangxi emphasized again: "Go!"

From then on until the 59th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Prince Yong Yinzhen was responsible for the summer sacrifices to Mount Tai and the winter sacrifices to heaven.

This seemed to send a signal to the outside world: Kangxi intended to make Yinzhen the crown prince.

After the news spread, Old Nine became dissatisfied. After Old Eight failed, he turned to Old Fourteen. Now that Old Fourteen was fighting hard in Qinghai, how could he let Old Four seize the opportunity?

So he also made a big publicity, saying that Kangxi valued the Fourteenth Prince very much and was waiting for the Fourteenth Prince to win the first battle and then return to Beijing to be crowned king.

The Fourteenth Prince was indeed very capable. In the 59th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, he and the Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Nian Gengyao, joined forces to suppress the rebellion and won a great victory!

In the 60th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, when the Fourteenth Prince returned to Beijing, Emperor Kangxi specially asked Prince Cheng Yinzhi and Prince Yong Yinzhen to go to the outskirts of Beijing to greet him, giving the Fourteenth Prince very high courtesy.

For such military exploits, the Fourteenth Prince, who was still a Beizi, should have been made a king, but Kangxi seemed to have forgotten this and sent him to the battlefield again in April of the following year.

Lian Defei said: "The emperor's health is getting worse and worse, but he sent the fourteenth prince to the border at this time. I am worried that if something happens in the future, the fourteenth prince will be out of reach!"

But Kangxi insisted on his own way, so the Fourteenth Prince had to pack up and set off.

At this time, no one knew that there was only half a year left before Kangxi's death.
