Chapter 401 Kangxi Concubine Zhang
After Xueli finished speaking, she saw Chengze and Ning Chuge looking puzzled.
Tsk, no matter how calm he is, he is still a child!
"Children can't give birth to healthy children! Unless you two want to endure the pain of losing a child!"
Xue Li stared at the two children.
There's nothing else to say. If they don't agree, she can just drug them!
"My son/daughter is willing!" the twins said in unison.
Xue Li nodded in agreement!
Who would have thought that she was less than 30 years old, her child was about to get married, and she was going to be a mother-in-law...
In the same year, in early October, Cheng Guiren announced that she was pregnant.
In the 1680th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (), Niuhulu and Empress Renxiao's sister Hesheli entered the palace.
Little Hesheli was only ten years old, waiting in the palace for the next year! She was called Consort Chuxiu.
Little Niuhulu was in the prime of her life and was the younger sister of Empress Xiaozhao. She was granted the right to live in Yongshou Palace and enjoy the treatment of a concubine.
In February of the same year, Concubine Ning's premature baby did not live to see spring.
Concubine Ning was heartbroken and set her sights on Ulanara and her son!
And Xueli pretended to recover from illness because she wanted to choose a wife and a concubine for Chengze.
Kangxi granted the princess Shumulu of the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner in Chengze as his wife.
Also because Xue Li's family background was humble, he was afraid that Chengze would be looked down upon by the ministers when he traveled outside, so he intended to give him a wife with a better family background.
Of course, Kangxi was in power at this time and was far from being hesitant and cautious as he was later!
However, the Empress Dowager preferred that Ning Chuge marry into Khorchin.
Kangxi was unwilling and refused on the grounds that she was Princess Xiangrui of the Qing Dynasty.
He also suggested that the fifth princess be raised by the empress dowager and would be more suitable for marriage to Khorchin.
The Empress Dowager agreed!
After all, she still wanted to have a prince and raise him from childhood.
Instead of Cheng Ti who already has memories and is sensible.
Ning Chuge didn't know how to tell Kangxi.
She selected the young men from the Manchu, Mongolian and Han ethnic groups herself, and they were keen to help the emperor share his worries.
Kangxi was very happy and asked her to help his brother.
After all, they grew up together and have a tacit understanding!
The twins' wish was fulfilled.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs prepares all matters related to Chengze's wedding, and Chengze helps his sister select young talents.
In this year, Jiang Minglong, the Censor of Beijing who was inspecting the southern part of Beijing, reported to the court a major human trafficking case involving hundreds of people.
The case originated from the fact that people from Zibo, Lijin and other counties in Shandong fled to Beijing due to famine.
She was deceived into coming to Beijing by Ba Tianrong, Ba Shizhong and others on the pretext of being hired to farm the land. They forged documents and forcibly took her as a slave, intending to resell her.
After investigation, Jiang Minglong reported to Emperor Kangxi, exposing this human trafficking.
Chengze asked for permission to help Kangxi relieve his worries, and Kangxi agreed!
Xue Li brought various antidotes, poisons and tricks for the twins.
Kangxi himself was worried and arranged secret guards!
It was also after the Three Feudatories were gradually pacified that Emperor Kangxi began his spiritual pursuit.
Especially porcelain.
He ordered the production of large quantities of official kiln porcelain at the Imperial Kiln Factory in Jingdezhen to meet the demand for high-quality porcelain by the court and the royal family.
The porcelain fired during this period is called "Zang Kiln" and is famous for its exquisite craftsmanship and unique style.
At the end of July, Cheng Guiren gave birth to a son, and Kangxi named him Yinyou.
When Ulanara heard the news, she suddenly had an epiphany.
She was still somewhat unwilling and came up with an idea.
Just put one of your own people next to Kangxi!
Ulanara arranged her people to carefully select a beauty: Juechan.
Do everything possible to get it before the emperor!
When Kangxi saw Juechan, he was struck by her beauty and doted on her for a while. Juechan became pregnant soon after.
What a coincidence, the twins also agreed with this idea.
He had been secretly training skinny horses, intending to send them to Kangxi one after another.
After all, men understand men best.
Similarly, the empress understands the emperor best!
When the weather turned cold, the twins returned to Beijing.
First he paid his respects to the Emperor, then to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
Finally, we returned to Yiku Palace to have dinner together!
Chengzhen and Anqi held their brother and sister's legs tightly with tears in their eyes.
Xue Li was also very happy and arranged for someone to invite the emperor to eat hot pot together.
Kangxi was also happy to see the family having so much fun!
Sydney doesn't have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
Pull Chengze and Ning Chuge to chat.
Kangxi didn't say anything. He was happy to hear his two children share their experiences as foreign ministers.
Afterwards, the two children shared the gifts with the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and their younger brothers and sisters.
A few days later, the twins told Xueli about their work.
Including taking in orphans and training them to be secret guards to spy on the ministers.
Including arranging people to search for mineral sources and merchants.
Of course, Ning Chuge’s husbands were also chosen, two Mongolian brothers.
Of course, there is only one on the surface.
Sydney has no objection!
The kids are getting married!
This year, Sydney 30~
When the new bride entered the palace, Shumulu's facial features were bright and dignified, her personality was restrained, and there was determination between her eyebrows.
Xueli was very satisfied and gave some treasures.
The prince consort is not bad either. His eyes sparkled when he looked at Ning Chuge, like a puppy.
Xueli was very satisfied and gave some gifts.
When Kangxi saw his children getting married, his eyes were filled with sorrow.
Xue Li looked at him with disgust!
You are at the prime of your life, how can you be so vicissitudes of life?
This is what Sydney thought and said!
Before Kangxi could finish feeling melancholy, Xueli interrupted him.
I turned around and was about to talk about reason!
Unexpectedly discovered that his virtuous concubine is still as beautiful and attractive!
So, the old couple started making sauce again~
It’s interesting too!
Maybe it was because the previous incident of one dragon playing with two phoenixes was too absurd.
From then on, Kangxi no longer favored anyone.
Every month, Imperial Concubine Tong had a few days, Xueli reported illness for a day occasionally, Concubine Xi had a few days, Daijia had a few days, Uya had a few days, Concubine Ning had a few days, Concubine Rong had one or two days occasionally, and there were other concubines...
In the same year, Concubine An and Concubine Jing died one after another!
Xue Li then discovered that the families of these two people loved their daughters very much. They were afraid that their daughters would waste their youth in the palace, so they asked Emperor Kangxi for an imperial decree to let their daughters leave the palace and remarry!
Kangxi didn't like Concubine An and Concubine Jing, so he agreed.
However, since he was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, the thought of marrying off his concubine was somewhat ridiculous.
So I didn’t mention it to anyone!
Similarly, historical records only briefly mention their whereabouts, and even the existence of many concubines seems to have disappeared without a trace!
The master doesn't care, and the servant cares even less!
Just like the Zhang family in history!
On the tenth day of the second month in the twentieth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1681), Juechan gave birth to a son.
Kangxi gave him the name: Yinsi.
In the same year, after eight years of war, the Qing army finally captured the city of Kunming, marking the complete end of the eight-year-long Rebellion of the Three Feudatories.
Wu Sangui's grandson Wu Shifan committed suicide, and the Qing army brought Wu Sangui's chief adviser Fang Guangchen and his sons and nephews to the front of the army and executed them by slow slicing.
With the fall of Kunming, the Qing army continued to liquidate the remaining forces of Wu Sangui.
