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

The Queen's illness became increasingly serious, and by mid-October she was bedridden.

Kangxi no longer summoned Shen Jiang, and Shen Jiang had to serve Nianhulu every day.

But Niuhulu didn't want her to be here. She frowned and said, "Why are you here with me when you don't want to go to the emperor to win his favor? You foolish thing, why don't you hurry up and get pregnant while you are still favored? Are you waiting for others to get there first?"

Shen Jiang was speechless. Her body was a little weak and she wanted to get better before getting pregnant. Why was the queen more anxious than she was?

But the queen was ill, so she didn't dare to say anything harsh, and could only say: "The emperor values ​​his master, so he will naturally not call a servant to serve him when he is ill."

Niuhulu looked at her with a look of disappointment, and turned to Aunt Ruyi and said, "Believe it or not, once Guo Luoluo gives birth to a child, that bitch in Jingren Palace will definitely take the child away to raise!"

Shen Jiang looked at her in surprise, thinking: You are quite smart! You can even guess this!

Aunt Ruyi, with tears in her eyes, said quickly, "No, Master, please cheer up! The Emperor will never let Jingren Palace pass you by no matter what."

Nianhulu sneered. She had never had any expectations for Kangxi.

Shen Jiang knew that she had a strong personality and was not liked by Kangxi. Perhaps the sudden severity of her illness was also related to her personality.

Even though Niuhulu was the queen, she still had many pitiful qualities.

Shen Jiang sighed, "Master, as long as you are still the Queen, all the children in the harem must respectfully address you as Queen!"

Niuhulu gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I am the queen, I can't give my position to someone else! Ruyi, bring me the medicine, I need to take it!"

Aunt Ruyi was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Okay, I'll go get the medicine right away!"

After sending away Aunt Ruyi, Niuhulu said to Shen Jiang earnestly, "Ma Yan, I know you are a perceptive person. Remember, the honor and disgrace of everyone in the harem depends on the emperor. You must win the emperor's favor and give birth to more children!"

Shen Jiang was silent. Although Niuhulu knew this truth, she was unable to humble herself and please Kangxi.

Niuhulu seemed to have guessed what Shen Jiang was thinking and said, "I have my pride. Which of my family background and my father is better than Jingren Palace? Why? Why did they decide me to be the queen and then took Tong Jia into the palace? Since they want to use me, why do they have to be on guard against me? Emperor!"

The always strong-willed Niuhulu actually shed tears. Shen Jiang felt bitter in his heart and held her hand and said, "My lady, your health is the most important thing! Please relax and get well first."

Niuhulu turned her face away so that she wouldn't let her see her crying.

After Aunt Ruyi brought the medicine, Niuhulu took it and went to sleep, telling Shen Jiang to go back and not to wait on her.

Since the queen was ill, the concubines in the harem naturally had to come and take care of her.

Before, Shen Jiang thought that it would be just like seeing a patient in modern times, bringing two fruit baskets and milk, and sitting in front of the bed to chat.

It turned out that this was not the case. Whenever someone came, Niuhulu had to dress up and sit on the main seat in the warm room to meet them. Unfortunately, there was one imperial concubine and seven main seats in the six palaces in the east and west, and they did not come at the same time. It was like this for every visitor, which was simply torture.

Shen Jiang was secretly shocked and complained to the system: "Is this to take care of her illness? Or is it to urge her to die early?"

System: "This queen is too stubborn. She doesn't want people to see her sick. Why does she do that?"

Shen Jiang: "Fortunately, the concubines below the master's seat don't have to come, otherwise it would be fatal."

It was also during this opportunity that Shen Jiang met the legendary Concubine Tong of Jingren Palace.

Concubine Tong was a slender beauty with a fair face, light willow-shaped eyebrows, and slender phoenix eyes. She seemed to be in poor health.

In the mouth of Niuhulu, this is a "bitch" who is "pretentious" and "sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside".

Shen Jiang's first impression was that she was just a sick beauty.

Concubine Tong spoke in a soft and gentle voice. She told Nianhulu, "The Queen, please take care of yourself and don't worry too much about the affairs of the harem. She is here to help you!"

If it weren't for Niuhulu's good superficial skills, she would probably have spat out a mouthful of blood in her face.

Shen Jiang muttered: "She looks like a sick beauty, but it turns out she is not an easy person to deal with!"

Niuhulu said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, sister. I'm fine. There's no need for you to get involved in palace affairs. Your health is not good to begin with, so you'd better take care of it!"

The two of them exchanged a few words and then separated.

Next are the other concubines, all of whom look quite ordinary, except Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong who are just okay.

Then came Concubine Yi, Guo Luoluo. Shen Jiang took a closer look and exclaimed, "She is truly a stunning beauty!"

No wonder Kangxi liked her so much.

System: "Are you trying to say, who wouldn't like such a beauty? You like her too."

Shen Jiang: "Hey, Tongzi, can you read minds?"

System: “What the hell!”

It’s just because this host was like this in the previous plane.

Shen Jiang seemed to be thinking: "It is said that when the system and the host are together for a long time, they will assimilate each other. Look, you even speak like me now."

system:"……"

The process of tending to the sick today was completed, and estimating that no one else would come, Niuhulu almost collapsed in her chair.

Shen Jiang and Aunt Ruyi stepped forward to support her on either side and helped her onto the kang. Shen Jiang couldn't help but said, "How can we go on like this!"

Aunt Ruyi said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, Master, how about..."

"No!" Niu Hulu panted, her eyes turned fiercely, and she said, "Rules are rules. Even if I die, I will never let them look down on me!"

Shen Jiang didn’t understand. Was the dignity of being a queen more important than her own life?

Niuhulu was too strong-willed, but she didn't understand that being too strong would lead to failure.

By December, Niuhulu was so seriously ill that she could not get up.

Kangxi came to see her almost every day, but even if Nianhulu couldn't get up, she would force herself to lean on the pillow, put on makeup, and talk to Kangxi.

Sometimes, Niuhulu would call Shen Jiang to her side and say to Kangxi: "Ma Yan serves me very attentively, please show me more mercy, Your Majesty."

Kangxi's eyes were deep and he said calmly, "I know."

Shen Jiang glanced at Niuhulu and lowered his head.

In fact, Niuhulu already knew that she was dying, but she still wanted Shen Jiang to give birth to a child as soon as possible, even if she couldn't raise the child by her side.

This seemed to have become Niuhulu's obsession, and she survived on this obsession.

Soon, New Year came, and after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, Niuhulu's health improved, and she was able to even host the New Year ceremony.

Shen Jiang looked at the dark aura between Niu Hulu's brows and was secretly shocked.

In the first month of the year, Kangxi began to summon his concubines, including Shen Jiang.

It was this time that Shen Jiang fell into the trap.

Aunt Ruyi had been keeping an eye on Shen Jiang's changing of clothes. She soon found out that Shen Jiang's period had not come this month. She waited anxiously for seven or eight days, but it still did not come, so she asked the imperial physician for help.

"Although it's still early, I think it's undoubtedly a happy pregnancy," said the imperial physician.

Aunt Ruyi was overjoyed and told Niuhulu the good news.

Niu Hulu's eyes finally lit up. She called Shen Jiang over and told her, "Give birth to the child safely. I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again. But you have to promise me one thing. No! You are not allowed to give the child to that bitch in Jingren Palace! No!"

Shen Jiang wanted to say that this was not something she could decide. But seeing how Nianhulu was, she did not dare to say anything provocative, so she said, "Yes, I promised my master that I would not give this child to Jingren Palace to raise."

"Okay, okay..." Niuhulu closed her eyes with satisfaction.

On February 28, the 17th year of the Kangxi reign, Empress Niuhulu died.
