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

In October of the eighteenth year of Kangxi's reign, Shen Jiang was canonized as a concubine, and from then on she became the head of the palace.

It was much more legitimate for her to pay her respects in the Cining Palace. She could speak Mongolian, which was an extra skill that made the Empress Dowager like her more than other concubines.

The Empress Dowager once asked her, "When did you learn Mongolian?"

Shen Jiang did not say that he learned it at home, but only said: "After entering the palace, I looked forward to the opportunity to serve the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager every day, so I learned Mongolian."

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Your enthusiasm for learning is quite similar to that of the Emperor. No wonder he dotes on you."

Shen Jiang lowered her head shyly, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "Being able to serve the emperor is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes."

The Empress Dowager smiled and told her about the Fourth Prince's first birthday party: "It will be the Youngest Prince's first birthday party soon. I plan to hold a grand party in the Cining Palace. By then, the harem will be bustling with activity."

Shen Jiang naturally had no choice but to agree. After talking for a while, the Empress Dowager asked Su Malagu to bring the Fourth Prince out.

The fourth prince can already walk and speak a few simple words. Of course, he speaks Mongolian, Manchu and Chinese.

Everyone who saw the Fourth Prince would praise him for his intelligence, which made the Empress Dowager feel very accomplished. She often showed off in front of Emperor Kangxi, saying, "This child is just as smart as you were when you were a child!"

Kangxi was also a little proud, and said with a smile: "Of course, this is my son, of course he looks like me."

At this time, the Fourth Prince walked out with a "steady" step. Seeing Shen Jiang wearing new clothes, he calculated the date and found out that Shen Jiang had just been canonized as a concubine.

Shen Jiang smiled and opened his arms towards him, and he walked towards her slowly.

He is obviously a one-year-old child, why does he walk like an old man?

The Empress Dowager was often made to laugh by the Fourth Prince, and Shen Jiang felt both amused and helpless when seeing this.

"My dear baby, we will be one year old soon! What gift do you want? Can I make you a big cake?" Shen Jiang held the Fourth Prince and talked to him in a babble.

Yinzhen didn't say much, he just listened quietly, and responded in his heart: I have everything, I don't need any gifts. My belly is so big, let me go! What is cake? I haven't tasted it, you can try it.

After Shen Jiang left the Cining Palace, he sighed to Grape: "I always feel that the little prince is very mature and doesn't act like a child at all."

Grape followed her words and said, "Maybe it's because he was raised in the Cining Palace?"

Shen Jiang also thought that this might be the case. The Cining Palace was filled with a group of old ladies who were in a state of dejection. She thought that if she had the chance, she would still take the child back to raise him.

How could she have imagined that Yinzhen was reborn, with a one-year-old appearance but a fifty-year-old heart!

When she returned to Yonghe Palace, someone from the Imperial Household Department came and brought her the things she wanted.

Shen Jiang checked it and said with satisfaction, "That's it!" This was the one-year-old gift she wanted to give to the Fourth Prince. She drew the blueprint and asked the Imperial Household Department to tinker with it for several months before it was made.

I have to say, don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients! This twisting car can really be made!

Kangxi came in the afternoon and said as soon as he entered the palace: "Let me see the car you asked the Imperial Household Department to make."

The tricycle was parked in the yard. It was made of wood, painted, and polished to be very smooth. It was also padded and had safety belts. The wheels were made of copper and were shiny.

Kangxi looked at the tricycle and fell into deep thought. Shen Jiang explained to him how to play it, but there was no child here, so he didn't know what it would be like to play.

Kangxi suddenly had an idea and asked someone to call the crown prince over.

This time it was all over. The crown prince was having so much fun that he refused to come down.

Kangxi said, "Baocheng, this is for your brother. If you like it, I will ask the Imperial Household Department to make another one."

The crown prince pouted in dissatisfaction: "No no no, I want this! I want this!"

Shen Jiang clenched his fists, fearing that he would lose control and give the father and son a big fight.

Kangxi had no choice but to say to Shen Jiang: "Since the Crown Prince likes it, give it to him first! Anyway, there is still some time before the Fourth Prince's first birthday, so just ask the Imperial Household Department to make another one."

Oh, she knew it!

No wonder Yinreng became like that later on. With such a “kind father”, he would naturally have “many bad sons”!

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "The Imperial Household Department has always been very careful in its work. Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to take a look? I'm sure there are more than one car there."

Kangxi thought so too and asked the consulting firm to take a look. Sure enough, they brought back two tricycles.

Shen Jiang said, "This yellow one is more suitable for the status of the Crown Prince."

The crown prince immediately dropped the one he was holding and asked for the yellow one, saying, "This one, this one! I want this one!"

Kangxi took the crown prince, and the crown prince went back happily together with two carriages.

Shen Jiang stood expressionlessly in the corridor, watching the father and son's backs as they walked away. After a long while, he said to Grape, "Clean the tricycle, find a box to put it in, and take it out for the one-year-old party."

"Yes."

On the day of the first birthday banquet, Shen Jiang went to the Cining Palace early. The Cining Palace had a separate kitchen. She made the cake base and cream herself, and then carefully decorated the cake.

Write "Happy Birthday" in Manchu on the cake, and the cake is done.

Shen Jiang rubbed his waist and suddenly heard a burst of laughter outside.

Grape came in in a panic and said with an unpleasant expression, "The emperor and the prince are here. The prince performed a tricycle in front of everyone, which made the concubines laugh and praise the crown prince."

Shen Jiang frowned. The tricycle was a gift she wanted to give to the Fourth Prince. Kangxi knew it but still...

Now the prince has shown the tricycle in front of everyone, and now she is giving the tricycle as a gift, what will others think?

Did she pick up someone else's leftover birthday present for her son? Or did she even use her son's birthday present to flatter the prince?

There won’t be anything good to say anyway!

The system started to curse: "What the hell! This is too much! Lao Kang is too biased! Only the crown prince is his son, so the other sons are not worthy?"

Shen Jiang sneered: "Yes, can't you see that Kangxi has been partial to the crown prince for more than 40 years, and more than a dozen sons dare to say a word of 'no'?"

In a family, the head of the family (the father) is often very biased, and his attitude affects other people, including the mother. However, people often blame the mother.

In a feudal patriarchal society, no one dares to challenge the father's authority, and women have too little say, so it is always the mother's fault.

The system was silent, afraid that Shen Jiang would be sad, and quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately the Fourth Prince is still young and doesn't remember anything."

Shen Jiang said calmly: "You can't bully a child just because he is young and doesn't remember anything."

She said to Grape, "Move the box containing the tricycle back to Yonghe Palace and don't take it out again."

Grape was also helpless, but they were the emperor and the prince, who would dare to disobey them!
