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

It was a hot July day. The scorching sun was burning the ground. The fine sunlight passed through the gaps between the leaves and shone on the wall, leaving mottled shadows of the trees.

The cicadas in the trees were screaming at the top of their lungs, as if only this could dispel the summer heat.

Under the tree, the young eunuchs held long poles and targeted the noisy little creatures with sticks, hitting them accurately one by one.

The cicadas' chirping suddenly stopped.

When the sun was not so strong, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong and Concubine De, led by Concubine Gui, entered Jingren Palace one after another.

Tong Jia was too ill to get up, so several people waited in the flower hall to drink tea. Although they didn't speak, they used their eyes to signal each other and could understand each other's meaning.

"What do you think of the Imperial Concubine this time?"

"I'm afraid it's going to be bad."

"I heard that the emperor was discussing the matter of establishing a queen with the Ministry of Rites the other day. I wonder if it will be too late."

"Alas, the Emperor has a deep affection for the Imperial Concubine!"

Shen Jiang slowly waved the palace fan in her hand, her thoughts somewhat erratic. Time flies so fast, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye. The most common thing she heard this year was that the Imperial Concubine was seriously ill.

She had been ill on and off for several months, and by the end of last month, Kangxi seemed to have known something, so he began to think of establishing a queen.

It seemed that Tong Jia was really dying, and Kangxi wanted her to go in a dignified manner and be buried with the honorable title of empress!

After they sat for a quarter of an hour, Songge came out to see them off.

After leaving Jingren Palace, Concubine Hui started to talk again. Shen Jiang was too lazy to listen, so she bowed to the Concubine and returned to her own Yonghe Palace.

Yonghe Palace was no longer as lively as before, because the Fourth Prince had moved to the Prince Residence. Although the Sixth Prince was not old enough, he insisted on following the Fourth Prince. Kangxi could not persuade him, so he agreed to let him stay in the Prince Residence for a few days and come back if he felt uncomfortable.

Without his parents' supervision, the Sixth Prince was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. He stayed in the residence and refused to come back.

So at this moment, there were only three princesses and the 13th and 14th princes in Yonghe Palace. The 13th and 14th princes were still young and not too naughty.

The pomegranate and grape that originally followed Shen Jiang have already left the palace. Now Shen Jiang changed the names of the two new ones, also called pomegranate and grape!

Speaking of this, there is an interesting story.

Everyone in the harem knew that Yonghe Palace was the most fertile, and when they heard that the palace maids around her were named Pomegranate and Grape, a trend of changing the names of the palace maids began in the harem.

In order to symbolize the blessing of having many children, some people renamed their maids longan and lychee, which were always in bunches. Some people renamed their maids persimmon! Puns, deduct money!

Shen Jiang stepped over the threshold, and a cool breeze hit her face. She exhaled comfortably and asked, "What are the princess and the princes doing?"

Xin Shiliu said, "The three princesses are teaching the two princes to read."

Shen Jiang smiled slightly and stood outside the door of the east side room. Seeing that the children looked serious, he did not go in to disturb them.

She had just sat down and taken a sip of tea when Zhang Jia came to pay her respects.

"How is the Imperial Concubine?" asked Zhang Jia.

This time, the Imperial Noble Consort was seriously ill and no concubines were asked to take care of her. Even if the four concubines went, they just sat in the flower hall for a while and did not see the Imperial Noble Consort's true face.

Shen Jiang shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not good."

Zhang Jiashi sighed along with her: "Imperial Noble Consort is not even thirty yet, right?"

"Twenty-eight, all told."

Twenty-eight is the best age in modern times, but I didn’t expect that here it is the end of life.

On the eighth day of the seventh month in the twenty-eighth year of the Kangxi reign, Kangxi issued an edict to promote Tong Jia to empress, and the next day the ceremony of enthronement was held. On the third day, which was the tenth day of the seventh month, Empress Tong Jia died.

After Tong Jia passed away, the coffin was temporarily placed in Chengqian Palace, and all the concubines went there to mourn.

Shen Jiang cried mechanically, and thought while crying: In these ten years, I have seen many people leave one after another, and I don’t know who will send me off in the end.

Fortunately, she has many children, so they will probably cry loudly when the time comes.

Thinking about what would happen after her death, Shen Jiang cried with much more genuine emotion.

system:"……"

Who would think of their own affairs after death when crying for others?

System: "Not necessarily. What if all three sons join the fight for the throne? They will blame you for being partial and compete to remove your trachea. Hehehe."

Shen Jiang shuddered. After the mourning was over, she asked Shi Liu and Pu Tao to call the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince to Yonghe Palace, but not to the Prince's Residence for the time being.

"Ernie, is there something wrong that you called your sons back?" the Fourth Prince asked in confusion.

Shen Jiang said: "It's nothing, I'm just worried that you might be hurt by your excessive grief, so come back and rest for a while."

When Tong Jia died in his previous life, the Fourth Prince did cry very sadly, because after all, he grew up in Jingren Palace and was raised by Tong Jia.

But the two of them didn't have much interaction in this life, and although he was sad, he wasn't overly grief-stricken.

Shen Jiang didn't say anything, but asked the kitchen to prepare the meal, and then stared at the Fourteenth Prince without saying a word.

The Fourteenth Prince was only one and a half years old and not very sensible yet. He tottered to Shen Jiang's side, looked up and smiled at her.

Shen Jiang also smiled slowly, called the Thirteenth Prince over, touched their heads, and said with a smile: "You two, you must listen to the Fourth Brother in the future, understand?"

Brainwashing should start from childhood.

The Thirteenth Prince was already four years old, and vaguely knew that he was not De'enie's biological son. He nodded and said, "I know. My son will definitely listen to Fourth Brother in the future."

The Fourteenth Prince nodded and said, "I know."

The fourth prince looked at them in surprise and asked, "Enie, what are you doing?"

"Alas!" Shen Jiang sighed heavily and said, "Today I suddenly thought of my own affairs after death. You will all grow up one day, and when you grow up you will have your own thoughts. I am afraid I will not be able to take care of you in the future. After I die, I wonder if you will be united as brothers, or will you start quarrels among yourselves."

After saying that, she shed a few crocodile tears and quickly covered her eyes with a handkerchief.

The Fourth Prince felt heavy in his heart. He looked at the Fourteenth Prince. The Fourteenth Prince saw that Ene was crying and stretched out his little hand to wipe her tears. In the Fourteenth Prince's little head, he thought that Ene would only cry when she was in pain. He thought that Ene was in pain, so he blew on her with his little mouth, making a "whoosh" sound.

When the Fourteenth Prince fell, Ene did the same thing: "Blow on the Fourteenth Prince, and it will stop hurting."

The Fourth Prince's heart softened unconsciously, and he was about to say something when the Sixth Prince said, "Don't worry, Enie. We all know the story of 'brothers working together can break metal'! I will definitely help Fourth Prince in the future. If anyone of these two boys dares to rebel when they grow up, I will break his legs!"

Shen Jiang wiped the corners of his eyes: "It's not easy for your fourth brother."

The Sixth Prince said exaggeratedly, "It's not only not easy, it's amazing!" He told the Thirteenth Prince mysteriously, "Fourth Brother can do geometry problems!"

The Thirteenth Prince took a deep breath and looked at the Fourth Prince with admiration. The Fourth Prince was amazing! He had a hard time memorizing the multiplication table, but the Fourth Prince could actually do geometry problems!

The sad atmosphere was disturbed by the Sixth Prince's jokes. Shen Jiang curled her lips and said, "Your Fourth Brother can not only solve geometry problems, he can also do calculus!"
