Transmigrated into a Qing Dynasty concubine and asked the system to help me raise my children
Chapter 71 Kangxi Defei 24
"This braised chicken wings is my favorite..." Shen Jiang sang while grilling.
Before Kangxi entered the Yonghe Palace, he smelled the aroma of barbecue.
When he came in, he saw Shen Jiang grilling meat. One of the two maids was fanning away the smoke while the other was skewering the meat. The Fourth Prince was away at school, so the Sixth Prince was gesticulating with his brother's sword, making "swish swish" sounds.
On one side of the yard, there is a pavilion with a lounge chair inside, as well as tea, fruit and snacks.
"Father!" The Sixth Prince saw Kangxi first and rushed over like a cannonball.
Kangxi picked him up, walked to Shen Jiang, and said with a smile: "I have never come here without telling someone in advance. You don't know to welcome me eight out of ten times."
Shen Jiang brushed honey on the chicken wings and said with a smile: "This is how we feel at home! Why are we so nervous? However, if the emperor likes me to hold you in high esteem, next time I will put everything aside and kneel down to greet you at the door."
Kangxi thought for a moment and said, "That's good."
There were many people kneeling to welcome him, so she was not missing.
This is indeed more comfortable.
Kangxi sat down in the pavilion, drank a sip of tea and ate a grape.
Shen Jiang brought over the roasted chicken wings and asked casually, "How is the Imperial Concubine?"
Kangxi glanced at her belly and said, "She is weak and it's not a good sign for her to be pregnant. Unlike you, you cook barbecue yourself even though you are pregnant. It's so smoky, you might as well fume the baby."
Shen Jiang took a bite of the chicken wing, squinted his eyes happily, and said: "What is there to be afraid of? My child is not that delicate!"
Kangxi snorted and ate meat and fruit with her.
It was a rare opportunity for him to steal a half day of leisure from his busy life. He rested comfortably in Yonghe Palace for a while, and then returned to Qianqing Palace to summon his ministers.
After the Imperial Noble Consort became pregnant, the palace seemed to become much quieter, and even Concubine Hui stopped jumping around.
However, the Imperial Concubine was not pregnant well, so she had to rest and take care of the baby. This time, she took the initiative to let go of the palace affairs and let the Imperial Concubine and the three concubines Hui, Yi, and Rong take charge.
Why not take Concubine De with you? After all, Concubine De is pregnant too!
The Imperial Concubine and the other four learned their lesson this time and no longer tried to take the lead in everything. If they could follow the old rules, they would follow them. If there were no old rules, they would first report to the Imperial Concubine before making a decision.
They were busy until the twelfth month, and Concubine Yi also withdrew because she was pregnant.
Three concubines in the palace became pregnant at once. Although Kangxi was happy, the Imperial Hospital became extremely busy.
The imperial physician in Jingren Palace almost had to stay there permanently, taking the patient's pulse every day. Concubine Yi of Yikun Palace was not in a good mood during her pregnancy, as she vomited everything she ate.
It was still the easiest to take care of Concubine De of Yonghe Palace. She had no morning sickness and no pregnancy reactions, but her belly looked bigger than others.
"Could they be twins?" Shen Jiang himself had his doubts.
The system chuckled: "Yes! Host, don't you want to have too many children? I will let you have two at once!"
Shen Jiang laughed dryly: "Haha, you are so considerate!"
The system said proudly: "Twin daughters, so cute!" Then it printed a four-dimensional color ultrasound picture for Shen Jiang.
Shen Jiang could vaguely distinguish the child's face and limbs, but as for the "super cute" that the system mentioned, she couldn't see any of it at all.
The system continued to go crazy: "Kawaii kawaii!"
Shen Jiang ignored it and touched her big belly, hoping that the delivery would go smoothly.
In the late stages of pregnancy, Shen Jiang began to control her diet, but no matter how much she controlled her diet, her belly still swelled up like a blown-up balloon.
The imperial physician also diagnosed that Concubine De was pregnant with twins. Twins had never been born in Kangxi's harem, so the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Kangxi also wanted to send an imperial physician to stay in Yonghe Palace permanently. Shen Jiang, who was not nervous at first, became nervous because of the atmosphere.
The system quickly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here. There will be no accidents! It's just twins! It's not like you haven't given birth before!"
Shen Jiang said doubtfully, "You're not going to give me a pair of twins in every dimension, are you?"
System: "... Isn't this good? It saves you from having to give birth again."
But I have two big watermelons in my stomach, so I’m tired!
When I was pregnant with one child, I was very tired in the late stages of pregnancy and couldn’t sleep well. It was really painful to be pregnant with two.
Even with the support of the system, that feeling of exhaustion can still make people frustrated.
I endured and finally made it to the due date.
In March of the 22nd year of the Kangxi reign, Concubine De successfully gave birth to a pair of twin daughters, one weighing 4.9 jin and the other 5.1 jin.
For safety reasons, the system sets the two children in incubator mode at night, and continuously monitors their electrocardiograms, blood oxygen levels, etc.
Kangxi also attached great importance to the twins. He assigned four wet nurses and eight nannies to each child, who took turns to look after them and stared at them without blinking.
For the sake of convenience, the back hall of Yonghe Palace was no longer occupied and was converted into a small kitchen. In the future, when ordering food, people no longer had to go to the kitchen to pick it up, but could cook it directly in the small kitchen.
During the confinement period, Kangxi ordered that the two princesses should not be exposed to the wind, and no one else was allowed to disturb the princesses except him and Shen Jiang.
Even if the Empress Dowager wanted to see something new, she had to wait until after her confinement period.
After a month of careful care, the weight of the two princesses finally reached the target, both growing to 8 kilograms.
Only after seeing the child taking big gulps of milk did Shen Jiang feel relieved.
To be honest, the princesses in the palace were not raised as carefully as the princes, so the mortality rate of princesses in the Qing Dynasty was very high.
At the beginning, Shen Jiang was really a little worried, but Kangxi showed unprecedented attention to the two princesses. When he paid attention, the people under him paid more attention, so the two princesses were taken seriously.
On the day of the full moon, a banquet was held in Yonghe Palace to celebrate.
Except for the Imperial Noble Consort, all the masters of the six palaces in the east and west came, and even Su Malagu, who was beside the Empress Dowager, came.
Su Malagu hugged the two princesses and said with a smile: "The two princesses are really lovely, well-behaved and beautiful. I will take a look at the children and tell the old ancestor about them when I go back. The old ancestor will definitely be happy."
Although the Imperial Noble Consort was unable to come due to health reasons, she also sent a gift. Tong Jia was always generous and decent in these matters.
Concubine Hui said to Shen Jiang, "You got two babies at once, are you happy?" She was very happy herself, the Eighth Prince could continue to be raised by her side, and although Concubine De's children were twins, they were princesses. If the Imperial Noble Concubine also gave birth to a princess, it would be even more to her liking.
Shen Jiang smiled and said, "Of course I am happy, who wouldn't be happy!"
Concubine Yi came to join in the fun even though she was pregnant. She looked at the little princess, then touched her belly and sighed, "It would be great if I could give birth to twins."
Concubine Hui rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you think everyone can have the blessing of having twins?"
Shen Jiang spoke faster than his brain: "Hey, that's not what I said, don't bring me along."
Concubine Hui was almost choked to death, and Concubine Yi almost laughed herself to death. She deliberately pulled Shen Jiang's hand and said to Concubine Hui, "Yes, I don't have this blessing, and neither do you, but Concubine De has it! See if you are angry or not!"
Concubine Hui snorted and said, "Why should I be angry?"
Concubine Yi also snorted, "Even if you're angry, you can't say it, right!"
Shen Jiang covered his head and said, "You two stop bickering in front of me. The banquet is about to start. Let's go, let's go!"
Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi rolled their eyes at each other and went to the front to take their seats.
The banquet at Yonghe Palace was the best among the six palaces in the east and west. Kangxi served six dishes, and the meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
