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

Kangxi had raised children before, and Crown Prince Yinreng was raised by him personally. Besides, the fourth prince was just one month old, and was just a baby who ate and slept, so there was no difficulty.

He just didn't quite believe what Tong Jia said, so he put the child in his own Qianqing Palace to see what was wrong.

The first night was uneventful. The little prince slept soundly, and Kangxi also slept soundly.

During the day, when Kangxi went to handle state affairs, the little prince would lie obediently in the stroller, neither crying nor making a fuss.

Kangxi came back and asked the nurse, who replied, "The little prince is very well-behaved. He doesn't cry when he's hungry, but just hums a few times. If he needs to defecate or urinate, he won't cry, but will make a little noise to remind the servants. Forgive me for saying something arrogant, but I have never seen such a smart little prince. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune!"

Who in the world doesn't like others to praise their children? As Kangxi listened, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

"Is the little brother asleep?"

"No, the little prince is awake! He seems to be waiting for the emperor to come back."

Kangxi got up and went to look at the little prince, and sure enough, he saw that the little prince in the stroller had his eyes wide open, looking at him.

Yinzhen could already see the people around him clearly. He saw his Khan Ama. Khan Ama looked so young and handsome. He was no longer the haggard old man who had become exhausted because of the battle for the throne among the nine princes.

Kangxi always felt that the child's eyes did not look like those of a child. He reached out his hand to touch the child's face, but unexpectedly the little prince also reached out his hand and held his fingers.

Kangxi's heart softened instantly, and he became more certain of what he was thinking: Tong Jia was talking nonsense, how could his son transform into a dragon?

Just as everyone likes to hear others praise their own children, no one likes others to say bad things about their own children.

The more Kangxi thought the little prince was adorable, the more dissatisfied he became with Tong Jia's dislike for him.

"Khan Ama!" Crown Prince Yinreng walked over with his short legs.

Kangxi smiled and waved to Yinreng: "Baocheng, come here."

Yinreng was only five years old, a cute big-headed kid. He walked to Kangxi, stood on tiptoe to look at the little prince in the stroller, and asked curiously, "Is this my younger brother?"

Kangxi smiled and said, "Baocheng is really smart. This is your brother. Let him stay here for a few days. Do you like him?"

Yinreng was looking at Yinzhen, and Yinzhen was also looking at him, and then closed his eyes after taking a glance.

Yinreng: "My brother is asleep."

Yinzhen: I didn’t fall asleep, I just didn’t want to see you.

Kangxi touched the prince's head. At this time, the advisor came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager wants you to come over."

Kangxi asked someone to take good care of the crown prince and the little prince, and he went to the Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager had her hair tied up, wore a blue robe, held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and sat on the kang. She looked no different from an ordinary old lady from a banner family.

"Grandson pays his respects to Mama." Kangxi bowed and sat opposite the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly and said, "I called you here for no other reason than to ask you how you plan to deal with the little prince's matter."

Kangxi guessed it and said, "My grandson originally wanted Tong Jia to raise the little prince. She is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem and is the most suitable. But I didn't expect that Tong Jia is weak and may not be able to raise the little prince well. And the other seven concubines are really not suitable. My grandson doesn't know what to do for a while."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I heard that you took the child to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"

"Yes."

"That's good. Baocheng has been kept in the Qianqing Palace all the time, which is too lonely. What I mean is, why not keep the little prince in the Qianqing Palace? Xuanye, what do you think?"

Kangxi said, "It is indeed a good idea to raise him in the Qianqing Palace to accompany Baocheng, but Baocheng is the legitimate crown prince, and the empress has no heir, so I have to raise him myself. The little prince's mother is of too humble a birth, and raising him in the Qianqing Palace will only cause criticism."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Uya's humble origins are indeed a problem. Since you don't want to raise the child in the Qianqing Palace, and you don't want others in the harem to raise him, then I have no choice but to work hard for a few more years and put the little prince in my Cining Palace!"

Kangxi was overjoyed, but felt ashamed in his heart, and said, "My grandson is unfilial. Madam should have enjoyed her old age, but my grandson is making Madam work hard."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Just think of myself as being lonely in this palace, and find a child to keep me company."

That's how it was decided. From the beginning to the end, they never thought about letting Uya raise the child herself.

In fact, when Shen Jiang heard that Kangxi took the Fourth Prince to the Qianqing Palace, she thought this was a good result.

System: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't let anyone take the child away?"

Shen Jiang: "How can this be called robbery? He is the child's father. It is the duty of a biological father to take care of the child!"

System: "I understand. The custody is awarded to the father."

Shen Jiang: "…It's not a divorce, why are you talking about custody? Tongzi, tell me seriously, is it better for the child to be with me or with Kangxi?"

System: "Of course it's Kangxi! To put it another way, your husband is the richest man in the world, and you are a housewife with no source of income. You divorced, and you didn't get much property. Of course, it would be better for the father to have custody of the son. Social status, resources, wealth, fame, etc. are not what you can give him."

Shen Jiang: "Yes, although the saying goes that it is better to follow a beggar mother than a government official father. But what is the truth? Of course, it is better for the child's future to follow a government official father. Don't forget, the Fourth Prince will fight his way to the throne in the future!"

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he deliberately exaggerated the fact that he was raised by Empress Xiaoyiren. He even modified the records to change the fact that Empress Xiaoyiren raised multiple princes to raising only him.

A man's desire for power is definitely greater than family affection.

Shen Jiang had already made preparations for Kangxi to raise the Fourth Prince, but within two days, the Fourth Prince was taken to the Cining Palace.

System: "Oh no, the custody was awarded to the grandmother."

Shen Jiang: “…”

System: "Xiaozhuang is an outstanding woman with great political acumen. Kangxi respects and is filial to her. If she is to raise the Fourth Prince, it will be beneficial to the Fourth Prince's future."

Shen Jiang: "Fortunately it was the Grand Empress Dowager and not the Empress Dowager. The Fifth Prince raised by the Empress Dowager could not speak Chinese until he was eight or nine years old."

System: "In fact, have you ever thought about becoming a concubine through your own efforts? Then you might be able to raise the child yourself."

Shen Jiang laughed, and said self-deprecatingly: "Yes, others can be promoted to concubines and consorts as soon as they enter the palace, but I have not been promoted even after giving birth to a child. I should look for the reasons myself, whether I have worked hard over the years, and whether my salary has increased."

System: "Don't blame me for being harsh. You should know your place in this harem. As a reproductive machine, you should work hard to have children!"

So this is the way to work hard!

System: "Don't worry, you might be the queen in the next dimension, no need to work hard."
