The Bewitching Master of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 333: Shunzhi Empress Xiaohui Qiqige 66

Moreover, her expectations for complementary foods are much greater than Jinghua's.

Xue Li probably forgot that she kissed the two cubs like a hungry wolf pouncing on its food.

She kissed the little girl, and she giggled with joy.

She kissed Haodaer and he turned his head to the other side.

Xue Li was not discouraged at all and bit his face again.

If he doesn't smile, then I'll tickle him.

The main point is perseverance.

She forgot but Jingrong didn't.

At that time he realized that his mother was extraordinary.

He also cursed the emperor in front of his servants.

He doesn't care about his father in this life at all.

Could it be that his maternal grandfather was a powerful official?

But I was young at the time and my body couldn’t hold on, so I fell into a deep sleep while thinking about the problem.

Now, he is used to it.

After all, apart from his father in this life, even the Royal Mother loved him very much.

Therefore, he was very content. In this life, he had a mother, a younger sister, and a royal mother.

It's normal that the emperor is not close to him.

After all, the ruler of a country is always busy, he understands.

Xue Li had no idea what he was thinking.

He is the best at disguising himself and never says anything even when he has something on his mind.

Xue Li thought he was normal so she didn't worry too much.

The New Year is coming soon.

Years later, Concubine Qin gave birth to a son.

This is not the point. The point is that Shunzhi gave the child to Dong E.

In the 15th year of Shunzhi's reign, Dong E officially became the virtuous concubine.

While the family was having dinner, Xue Li almost didn't react when she heard Tus' words.

"Virtuous Concubine? So virtuous? Stealing other people's children?!" Xue Li sneered immediately.

"Yes, that's what the emperor meant!" Tus said hesitantly.

"Come on, if it wasn't her wish, would he have done this? If she said she was afraid of passing the disease to the child, could the emperor still force her to do it?"

Xueli thought that couple was really enough!

"Mother? Who stole someone else's child?" Jinghua asked her with two cute little buns on her head.

Xue Li pinched her little face.

"Nothing, remember to keep your distance from the concubines in the harem, especially the Yikun Palace!"

The little girl still didn't quite understand, but nodded obediently.

Jingrong said nothing.

The next day, Xue Li went to Zhongcui Palace.

Seeing Qin's red and swollen eyes, he became somewhat angry.

"Take care of yourself first, there's still a long way to go! She doesn't have the lifespan to compete with yours!"

As Xue Li was talking, Tus pulled her several times.

Qin suddenly threw herself to the ground and kowtowed to Xueli three times.

"I beg the Queen to let me see my child again!"

Qin couldn't help crying again.

Xue Li nodded and said, "If she doesn't let you see her, just go find me!"

Qin kowtowed excitedly again.

"The premise is that you take care of yourself first!"

After saying this, Xue Li left Zhongcui Palace.

She wanted to mention it to the Empress Dowager, but then she remembered that the custom of exchanging children for adoption had existed in the Qing Dynasty since a long time ago.

During the Later Jin period, even the children of ministers were raised in the palace.

What’s more, concubines could exchange their children and raise them together.

There are also special places for princes now.

The Qing Dynasty court established an institution called "Age Suo" which was specifically used to take care of the royal heirs.

The main purpose of this system is to prevent the mother-son relationship from being too close, which may lead to the concubines interfering in politics.

Therefore, even if the biological mother of a prince or princess is in the palace, they are usually not allowed to be raised directly by her.

But because of Xue Li's compassion, the concubines could visit the children every now and then, and could also bring the children back to the palace for meals.

But Shunzhi did this...

No, this is Dong E's method.

Yes, she is not feeling well at the moment, so she is not well pampered.

It is probably because he flatters well and the emotional value is in place. Refer to Heshen.

It is estimated that she often asked Shunzhi to visit other women, and even introduced women of the same type as her to win Shunzhi's favor.

After all, among this group of people, Qin is good at dancing and is charming and affectionate.

She is the most favored among the concubines.

Dong E's method was just to restrain Qin.

Xue Li returned to the palace to concentrate on sorting out her skills.

But she didn't expect that before she went to find trouble with Shunzhi, Shunzhi came to him first.

Shunzhi came in a rage.

As soon as he entered the hall, he kicked a chair beside him.

Xue Li sneered and looked at his half-smile.

"Empress!" Shunzhi's actions were aggressive, but his expression was not that excited.

"Something's wrong?!" Xue Li sat steadily and looked at him sideways.

"As the queen, how can you curse others?" Shunzhi was not angry, but talked about something else.

"Who did I curse?" Xue Li held her chin with one hand, looking very interested.

"'She won't live as long as you do', is that what you said?" Shunzhi seemed to have caught Xueli's pigtail, with a look of certainty on his face.

"I said it, what's wrong with it?!" Xue Li looked righteous.

What a joke. She is the queen, but she is acting like a favorite concubine, hesitant and retreating to advance?

"You, you don't repent!" Shunzhi shouted angrily at her expression.

"Oh! A sickly woman who has to raise a son. Isn't she afraid of making the child sick? I didn't hit her because I'm kind-hearted!" Xue Li leaned leisurely against the back of the chair, her posture not dignified at all.

"She is weak and it was hard for her to bear a child—" Shunzhi was about to make excuses when he was interrupted by Xueli.

"The mother who is pregnant will have it even harder! What's more, there are so many concubines in the harem who are childless. Your Majesty, why would you choose the child over anyone else? Why would you stick to a sickly woman? Just because she can cheat on you? She really doesn't deserve that talent!" Xue Li really thought so.

"Empress!" Shunzhi pointed at Xue Li and his finger was shaking as if he had Parkinson's disease.

"What? Did I say something wrong again? If the emperor stands up for his favorite concubine, you will kill me at once! Otherwise, I will definitely let her experience what it means to be the master of the harem!"

Xue Li stared at Shunzhi coldly, and had even thought about how he would die.

Shunzhi looked at Xueli's eyes and suddenly remembered the incident with Aunt Feicui a few years ago.

Yes, because of the cold medicine, she had the same look at that time.

Indifferent and murderous!

He didn't like ordinary women being stronger than him, but he could not forget the icy cold eyes at that moment.

But now Shunzhi felt indescribably upset.

When he heard that, he ordered his men to keep their mouths shut.

He didn't know why he did that.

But it was also true that he was angry.

He thought the queen would act coquettishly and apologize to him, and he would forgive her.

But, she didn't!

He has a worse temper than him.

It’s a waste of that beautiful face.

Just as they were confronting each other, Dong E arrived.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Dong E's voice was urgent. Xue Li saw Wu Liangfu behind her.

Haha, a loyal slave!

Shunzhi sat down leisurely and Tus served him tea.

Xue Li held the milk tea in silence.
