Concubine Rong froze instantly.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was really angry, the Empress and Concubine Hui looked at each other, but Qi Qi comforted them softly.

Qiqige is a basin of bitter water.

Thinking of Kangxi's words, she became annoyed again: "Is there an emperor who talks like that? Why will the children be handed over to the Ai family in the future, good guy! Ai's family is specially raising children for him? From now on, one, two, three, four... There are more than a dozen or twenty, how will the Ai family live in the future."

When the queen heard this, she burst out laughing.She frowned happily: "Emperor Niang is too exaggerated, looking back, the emperor thought you were praising him."

Qiqige: "...hehe."

She looked at the queen blankly, and the words twirled on the tip of her tongue, but she still didn't say it.

You underestimate Kangxi too much!

Among the emperors with the most children in history, Kangxi can rank among the top few.There are more than 30 sons in the top order. Counting the daughters who have been raised to adulthood, there are more than [-] people in total.

Qiqige let out a long sigh.

Speaking of my headache as the emperor's mother, the queen's headache will be even more severe in the future when she is the aunt.

Fortunately, she is still happy now.

Qiqige's gaze stayed on the queen for a moment, then she looked back sadly.

The queen wouldn't believe it even if she said it.

Qiqige held her breath: "It's good to count a dozen, but after another dozen or 20 years, there will be a new generation of grandchildren..."

There was a pause in her voice.

Qiqige covered her forehead and asked sullenly, "How many children do you think you will have by then?"

The Queen and Concubine Hui are very good at math.

Although Concubine Rong is worse, she still knows these basic questions.

After the three of them calculated in their hearts, they all fell silent.

The queen struggled for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "It's not like that, is it? The emperor won't..."

Qiqige said with a dark face: "Aijia has to take precautions before they happen."

The empress and concubine Hui were silent, and it had to be said that what the empress dowager said was really possible.

the most important is--

Qiqige glanced coldly over the three of them: "Wait until you have grandchildren? Do you still want Aijia's help?"

The queen's eyes flickered for a moment.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong's heart tightened together, Concubine Hui subconsciously lowered her head, but Concubine Rong replied cheekily: "The concubine's ability is not good enough, I have to rely on the Empress Dowager."

A vein popped up on Qiqige's forehead.

Even the Empress and Concubine Hui looked sideways, they didn't expect Concubine Rong to be so thick-skinned, and to say such things in a grand manner.

Qiqige slapped the table with her palm.

She angrily said to the Queen and Concubine Hui: "See? You have to come up with an idea for Concubine Rong's attitude."

The Queen and Concubine Hui glared at Concubine Rong, then scratched their ears and cheeks.

What should we do with this matter?The queen thought for a long time and then slowly said: "I think... the concubine should be attacked."

Qiqige cheered up and looked at the queen.

The queen wondered what the empress dowager was thinking, and looked at Concubine Rong with a smile: "For example, after the concubine is pregnant, let them know about taboos during pregnancy, hygiene and nursing methods during pregnancy, as well as how to exercise during pregnancy and how to work regularly. After the child is born, you can also ask the concubine to learn how to take care of the baby, the symptoms and reactions of the common diseases of the baby..."

Concubine Rong was restless.

Qiqige was thoughtful, and then tentatively said: "Then what about passing the exam and failing the exam...?"

The queen smiled: "You can let the concubines take part in the exam."

Her eyebrows and eyes are gentle, but her words are sharp: "According to the rules of the palace, unless the emperor grants a special dispensation, concubines and below are not allowed to raise their children by themselves. If they pass the exam, they can let them raise their own children. It can be handed over to the concubine who passed the exam to be raised."

The queen gave Concubine Rong a serious look.

She said with a straight face: "Of course, if there are problems with the upbringing after passing the assessment, then all the custody rights of the concubine must be deprived and handed over to the other concubines to be raised."

Concubine Rong immediately looked solemn.

She was the first to express her opinion: "The concubine will definitely pass the assessment!"

If you don't work hard--

Not only will Baoshun's custody rights be lost, but Lingyi's custody rights will also be lost!Thinking of the well-behaved daughter calling her mother at other concubines, Concubine Rong's heart was hit hard by a sledgehammer, and her fighting spirit was instantly ignited.

Not to mention the rest, seeing Concubine Rong's effect is pretty good?

Qiqige's expression softened a lot, but she nodded, and incidentally mentioned another matter: "Speaking of which, Lingyi has also reached the age for school."

The queen blinked, then woke up.

She pondered: "Back then, there were still Duan Min and Gong Que. Wouldn't it be a bit lonely if Ling Yi enrolled alone? Or should we find more companions?"

Qiqige tapped on the table with her fingertips: "Accompanying reading is necessary."

She hesitated: "Zhenzhen from Prince Yu's Mansion, and Sichun and Lingyi from Prince Gong's Mansion are about the same age, so they can go to the palace to attend classes together. Then let the two of them live with Concubine Ning Yu and the others on weekdays, and they will be on holidays." It's time to leave the palace and go back to the mansion."

The queen thought about it and thought it was good.

She said yes, and made some arrangements when she turned around.

The fact that the princess entered the palace to study caused a little commotion in the palace, but it didn't attract any attention in the palace.

All the concubines' minds were on the second matter.

If you want to raise a prince and a princess, you have to take an exam?If you don't pass the exam, you can't raise your own children?The concubines who entered the palace in the early days did not have the slightest fear. There was an exam for promotion, an exam for salary, and who was afraid of the exam for raising children?

The concubines who entered later became a little anxious secretly.

For example, Concubine Yi, who had passed the previous two exams, hugged Guo Guiren and cried after returning to Yikun Palace: "Sister, what should I do these days?"

Yipin is bursting with confidence.

Although she has not conceived in the palace for several years, she has always believed that she will definitely be able to conceive a dragon heir.It's just that Yibi never expected that pregnancy would be the beginning, and even if she wanted to raise a child, she would have to pass the exam!

If you say it, you can believe it! ?

The problem is, whoever fails the test... how embarrassing it is?

Guo Guiren is not much better either.

Her and Yipin's grades are not far behind, so at this moment, she can only bite the bullet and say: "What else can we do? We have to study hard! At most, we can have the cheek to find the Empress Dowager or Empress Empress to give us tuition... My sister thinks we can always pass the exam."

Yipin's face was full of sadness.

She held Guo Guiren's hand tightly: "We have to have at least one person... It's fine if only one person passes!"

At the same time, some people had other thoughts.

For example, in Jingren Palace, the quick-thinking Concubine Tong immediately thought of a loophole.She twirled the beads in her hand and said softly: "If it's a woman who can't read big characters... I guess she won't be able to pass the exam?"

The nanny at the side was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed.

Concubine Tong's eyebrows and eyes were gentle: "The empress is really smart, she actually came up with such a good idea. I think those vulgar and ignorant people in the future will not jump up even if they are favored by the emperor."

Not to mention raising princes and princesses, I am afraid that it is impossible to even be promoted to a position, and I can only be a court lady for the rest of my life or promise to be here often.Concubine Tong rubbed her stomach, her eyes fluttered: "Nurse Zhou turned around and picked one, the one with better looks, it's best if she can't read, or can only read a few big characters."

Nanny Zhou immediately understood Concubine Tong's thoughts.

It's just that she still has some hesitation: "Master is still young, why should he think about other people's children."

Concubine Tong's smile faded instantly.

There was a haze between her brows, and she pondered for a moment before she said softly: "After the death of Empress Xiaokangzhang, the empress dowager once said... Most of the girls in the Tong family died after they were pregnant, maybe they were sick."

"……master!?"

"Don't worry, Mommy, Erniang had asked a famous doctor to check on me, and she didn't find any problems." Concubine Tong replied lightly, "It's just..."

There were tears in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.

Concubine Tong lowered her head and silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "With the empress dowager's words in front of me, the emperor has many concerns. Since I entered the palace, the emperor has always been indifferent, especially about that matter... that matter, still... ..."

Concubine Tong bit her lips, unable to speak.

Nanny Zhou woke up, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "Yes, what did you use?"

Concubine Tong wept.

Nanny Zhou's heart seemed to be torn apart, and she couldn't help crying as she hugged Concubine Tong: "Master... the master of the servant girl..."

That being the case, Nanny Zhou also took care of it seriously.

She picked and picked for two months, and then she selected a few who were good-looking, honest and docile, and didn't like studying.

It's not that Nanny Zhou doesn't want to choose illiterate people.

Under Concubine Tong's dissatisfied gaze, she bit the bullet and replied: "Master, it's the slaves who forgot something - the palace people also have to be assessed! Even the maids who don't know the big characters have to learn something after entering the palace. If you fail the exam three times, you will be out of the palace because of your stupidity, and your reputation after leaving the palace will not be good..."

Who made the palace maid's future better and better?

In previous years, Bao Yi's family, who had a little spare money, searched for relationships several times, in order to prevent their girls from entering the palace and suffering.

But now most of Baoyi's families are spending money to find relationships, for fear that their girls will not be eligible to enter the palace. If they are screened out at the beginning, they will not have a good marriage when they return home, and the clan will be ashamed.

This also made Zhou Mama unable to pick out a few people.

To be able to pick out a few idiot beauties whose grades are always jumping left and right on the passing line, Nanny Zhou is already weeping with joy.

No matter how dissatisfied Concubine Tong was, there was nothing she could do.

She checked the list carefully, and made people observe it secretly for a few days.

Finally Concubine Tong finalized one of them.

Then one day in Dingxing, Qiqige noticed a figure behind Concubine Tong.

Fair skin, slender willow eyebrows, smooth and comfortable facial contours, exquisite facial features but not the slightest aggressiveness, especially those smiling eyes make people feel indescribably gentle and kind, which is the opposite of Yipin Color system.

Qiqige took a look: "This is—"

Concubine Tong smiled and replied: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this is Wu Ya's promise."

Knew it……

This is Yinzhen's biological mother, the future concubine Wu Yashi.

Qiqige's spirits were greatly lifted, and she looked up and down.

Wu Ya promised to be tense all over, and looked at the empress dowager nervously.

Qiqige felt a little regretful.

Wu Ya promised to be too nervous and cowardly, she seemed somewhat petty, not as generous as the other concubines.

Besides, is he that scary?

Qiqige puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, but she didn't know that under the continuous impact of several rounds of assessments, she had already become the psychological shadow of Wu Ya's promise.
