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

The Empress Dowager said, "I don't know if there are people in this world who are born with knowledge, but the Fourth Prince is so smart, we must seize the opportunity."

Kangxi said: "The princes all started to learn to read at the age of five or six, and the fourth prince is only three years old. Isn't it too early?"

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Then you might as well give him a try. If he is really a smart child, why bother with his age?"

"Mammy is right."

Knowing that the Fourth Prince was in Yonghe Palace, Kangxi also went to Yonghe Palace. As soon as he came in, he smelled the aroma of the three-fresh wontons, but unfortunately they had already been eaten by the mother and son.

"Fourth Prince, are you here to see your younger brother?" Kangxi picked up the Fourth Prince with a smile.

The Fourth Prince shook his sleeves in a formal manner and said, "Greetings to Khan Ama."

Kangxi burst into laughter and said, "Khan Ama is holding you, so you don't have to bow."

The Fourth Prince nodded seriously, and Shen Jiang joked, "I am not feeling well, so I won't bow."

Kangxi looked at her with a helpless yet doting smile, asked about the Sixth Prince's condition, and was very satisfied to see that the child was sleeping soundly.

Kangxi took the Fourth Prince to the warm room where Shen Jiang was reading and asked, "Fourth Prince, do you like reading?"

The fourth prince nodded, and Kangxi smiled and asked again: "Does the fourth prince know what reading is?"

The fourth prince said: "Read books and gain wisdom."

Kangxi laughed again and asked, "Is the Fourth Prince listening when the Empress Dowager is reading the scriptures?" Seeing the Fourth Prince nod, he picked up a book and told him which passage he wanted to read.

After he finished reading, Kangxi asked: "Fourth Prince, tell Khan Ama, where is the word 'guan'?"

The Fourth Prince looked at the text and paused for a while, then pointed to the word "Guan".

Kangxi was overjoyed and laughed, "Good boy, you will study with the prince from now on!"

The Fourth Prince pursed his lips. He was really reluctant to study with the Crown Prince, but he didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he nodded.

Kangxi told Shen Jiang about this with great interest, and said: "The fourth prince is very smart, just like me!"

Shen Jiang thought he was very shameless and asked, "Why not be like me?"

Kangxi looked at him with a look of "look at you, little kid" and said, "I also started learning at the age of three. I was well versed in classics and history."

Shen Jiang flattered him, "Yes, yes, yes. You were enlightened at the age of three, ascended the throne at the age of eight, took power at the age of fourteen, and captured Oboi at the age of sixteen..."

Kangxi's mouth corners turned up more and more, he twisted her nose and said with a smile: "What reward do you want, just tell me!"

"Really? Then I'll just say it straight!" Shen Jiang flirted with him, "I was thinking that since the Fourth Prince needs enlightenment, and the Empress Dowager is old and may not have enough energy, why not let me raise the Fourth Prince?"

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. Kangxi just looked at her. Finally, she muttered, "You asked me to speak frankly."

Kangxi said: "But you just gave birth to a child, aren't you afraid of running out of energy?"

"I'm young and strong, I'm not afraid." Shen Jiang tried his best to persuade, "The Fourth Prince is so smart, maybe the younger prince has taken after his brother! The Fourth Prince reads to the younger prince every day, isn't that a kind of influence?"

Kangxi glared at her and said, "You have so many excuses!"

Shen Jiang smiled and tickled his palm. Kangxi coughed lightly and said, "I don't have the final say on this matter. Let's discuss it again after some time!"

Shen Jiang muttered again: "You are the emperor, you have absolute power, how can your words not count?"

Kangxi was so annoyed by her that he lost his temper and couldn't even glare at her.

The Fourth Prince turned his face away and smiled with his lips pursed.

Shen Jiang was still in confinement, so Kangxi could not stay overnight, so he sent the Fourth Prince back to the Cining Palace before returning. He did not turn over the cards today, and rested alone in the Qianqing Palace.

It was spring when Shen Jiang came out of confinement and she was going to pay her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager, but was told that she had contracted a cough.

Spring is the time when germs are most likely to breed. After all, the Empress Dowager is old, and she can't stop coughing.

When spring came, Tong Jia felt a little unwell, so she did not go to the Cining Palace to take care of the patient.

Concubine An, Concubine Duan and others took turns to go. When Shen Jiang wanted to go, Su Malagu stopped her and said, "The Empress Dowager said that Concubine De has just come out of confinement and has a little prince by her side. Don't let her get sick."

Shen Jiang immediately pretended to be grateful, kowtowed to the Cining Palace, and said: "The Empress Dowager is so caring, and I am very grateful. I have a recipe for moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. I will go back and boil it into soup and send it to the Empress Dowager."

At this time, you have to flatter Empress Xiaozhuang a lot.

Shen Jiang returned to Yonghe Palace and made a lung moistening soup. It was an ordinary soup, but it was added with cough suppressant given by the system.

Shen Jiang sent her off for three consecutive days, and the Empress Dowager's cough indeed improved.

The Empress Dowager leaned on the pillow, twirling the Buddhist beads in her hand. After a while, she called Su Malagu: "Go and invite the Emperor."

Kangxi thought that the Empress Dowager's illness had worsened, so he put down the government affairs at hand and went to the Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager was watering the flowers with a watering can and looked in good spirits.

"Xuan Ye is here," she said, with sharp ears and eyes, she could tell it was Kangxi's footsteps without looking up.

Kangxi was delighted and stepped forward and asked, "Is Mama's cough cured?"

The Empress Dowager handed the spray bottle to Su Malagu and said, "Depin gave me a prescription. I took it for a few days and my cough was cured. You say, Depin is so filial, I should give her some rewards, right?"

Kangxi smiled but said nothing. The Empress Dowager glanced at him and said, "I thought you liked bold and unrestrained beauties like Concubine Yi. How come you have changed your personality and like the slow and steady type now?"

"Ma Ma, please stop making fun of your grandson. I just feel more relaxed and comfortable talking to Depin."

"I am old and lack energy. I am afraid I can't take good care of the children." The Empress Dowager sighed softly. "Since the Qing Dynasty came to power, there are few concubines who can raise their own children. The fear is that the biological children will be too spoiled and harm the children. However, the children have to go to school after they start to learn, and when they grow up, they have to move into the prince's residence. They don't have much time to spend with their biological mother."

Kangxi couldn't help but think of his own mother. He often missed her and often fantasized about what it would be like if she were still alive...

The Empress Dowager was moved with sympathy, and because Kangxi trusted and doted on Shen Jiang, the two decided to send the Fourth Prince back to Yonghe Palace and let Depin raise him herself.

After Shen Jiang received the news, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep the whole night. She got up before dawn to arrange the accommodation and made sure to decorate the Fourth Prince's room in the best possible way.

"The Fourth Prince likes simple and elegant furniture, and doesn't want anything too complicated. The Fourth Prince has very elegant taste, and doesn't want these fancy decorations."

System: "You are talking about Yongzheng after he became an adult. Children today are still young, so their aesthetic standards may not be clear, right?"

Shen Jiang: "You can tell a child's future from the time he was three years old. That child's mature and dignified appearance is set in stone."

System: “Hahahaha!”

After all, it was a move, so the Empress Dowager specially chose a good day and held a small banquet. Shen Jiang also decorated the Yonghe Palace to welcome the return of the Fourth Prince, just like the New Year.

Concubine Yi felt jealous when she saw this, and she didn't know what method Concubine De used to convince the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

As a result, Kangxi took into consideration that the third prince Yinzhi was still outside the palace and Ma Jia was also made a concubine, so he brought the third prince back to the palace.

As a result, the eldest prince Yinzhen, the third prince Yinzhi, the fourth prince and the newly born sixth prince all returned to their biological mothers, leaving only the fifth prince, born to Concubine Yi, who was raised by the Empress Dowager.

Concubine Yi, who was originally the most favored, ended up being separated from her son.

It can be seen that the emperor's favor is like a passing cloud, fleeting.
