Quick Wear: I was a Favored Concubine in the Qing Dynasty

In addition, the concubines' pulses were checked on the second day of every month. Any concubine who was pregnant with the emperor's heir was required to stay in her own palace to take care of the fetus from the beginning of her pregnancy and not to wander around to avoid accidents that might affect the emperor's heir.

As for the reason for such division into different levels, it was just to conform to Kangxi's ideas. Kangxi would not treat his sons and daughters equally. He favored sons over daughters. One could tell from the mortality rate of his daughters and the number of them marrying away. His daughters were just raised casually as marriage partners.

The most important thing is that once you become a baoyi bannerman of a concubine in the harem, you are not allowed to hold important positions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and can only be responsible for some unimportant work.

There was also the problem of corruption among the bondservants. Kangxi had already punished a group of them when he borrowed minor officials to check the accounts during the year of Sui. He ordered people to write down the prices of commodities in the capital to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day. If anyone was found to be corrupt, the entire family would be punished.

The important thing is the issue of palace power. She refined each function, from concubines to imperial concubines, and each palace task had a corresponding one, but each palace task was rotated once a year. In this way, the probability of using palace power to subdue palace maids and eunuchs was greatly reduced. There was also the issue of raising children. According to the regulations, concubines of low rank were not allowed to raise children. She felt that she could not participate in this matter, and it had to be determined by the emperor.

After reading it, Kangxi thought about it carefully and it was indeed beneficial. "I will discuss it with the Empress Dowager tomorrow and make a decision."

"Cousin, please inform me in time after you discuss it. If there is anything that is not well written, you can change it yourself." Yu Suisui was 100% sure that the concubines and palace officials would do as she wrote, because Kangxi did not want people to say that he was lustful, so there would be a lot of low-ranking concubines. As for giving birth to children to advance to a higher position, how many concubines in the palace could give birth to four or five children?

"Let's eat first!" Kangxi did see many places that needed to be revised. Some of the suggestions about the use of personnel in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not mature at all. Who knows how many problems would arise if this was done.

However, my cousin is a woman, and the fact that she can think of these things is far beyond the eyes of everyone else in the harem. Indeed, she has some similarities with the Empress Dowager.

Wu Ya, who had wanted to ask the emperor for help because of a stomachache, heard that the emperor had gone to Chengqian Palace, and she was shocked. Was the imperial concubine going to complain? She just wanted to pay her respects, why did the imperial concubine have to be so stingy and make things difficult for her.

Three days had passed when Kangxi came to Chengqian Palace again. As expected by Yu Sui, Kangxi made most of the changes except the promotion system for concubines. In any case, Yu Sui's goal was achieved.

However, Yu Sui's palace power was transformed from the position of concubine to the position of concubine, and only those with the position of concubine or above had the possibility of obtaining palace power.

A few days later, Uya of Yonghe Palace gave birth. According to the new regulations, she now agreed. Well, Uya agreed. Compared with the original concubine, she directly skipped two levels and became a noble lady. Now she still has to work hard for a few more years.

Wu Ya secretly asked someone to tell Yu Suisui that she was willing to give the fourth prince to Yu Suisui to raise and to serve the imperial concubine in the future. Yu Suisui sneered and turned around to tell Kangxi about it.

She had no intention of planning for others' future. She had never figured out how to treat the original owner's adopted son, and now she regarded him as a trouble. Judging from the look of Wu Ya, she probably planned to follow the path of her previous life and climb up through Tong Jia.

Kangxi didn't say anything, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with Uya. I haven't even opened my mouth yet, but you have already made your own arrangements.

A few days later, after the Fourth Prince's full-month ceremony, Kangxi was called to the Cining Palace, and the Empress Dowager ordered Yu Sui to raise the Fourth Prince.

Oh, she still can't escape.

The Empress Dowager ordered Yu Sui to raise a prince because she and Kangxi had no intention of letting Tong Jia give birth to another prince. This was an early compensation for her. If Tong Jia wanted to have a child, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager were not so heartless. If the cousin was willing, he would let her give birth to a daughter. But this depended on Tong Jia's fate.

Yu Suisui did not do the job personally like the original owner did, but instead asked her wet nurse to look after the Fourth Prince.

"Cousin, this Uya is so annoying. She comes to see the Fourth Prince early in the morning every day, and doesn't she worry about disturbing his sleep? Why don't you come later?" The most important thing is that she disturbed her sleep.

Kangxi turned over Uya's green card several times because of her motherly kindness, but then his cousin said that it was disturbing the children's rest, and he...

"Cousin, if everyone in the harem who has given birth to a child is as uncaring as she is, even the healthy children will not be able to bear it. Children sleep a lot, and the imperial physician also says that sleeping helps children grow. I don't know how many times they will be woken up in a day?" How could the biological mother only look at the sleeping child when she comes? Of course she has to wake the child up and cultivate the relationship.

Kangxi rubbed his brows. If it was as his cousin said, then Uya's motherly kindness would be greatly discounted. "In the future, I will stipulate that the biological mother must see the prince once every ten days." It won't work if she doesn't see him. There is no need to see him so often. He will naturally know and understand these things when he grows up.

"Okay." This way, she would only be disturbed for a few days during her sleep, which was acceptable.

If she could pay her respects to the Empress Dowager on the first and fifteenth day of every month, she could directly listen to the work progress report in the afternoon of these two days. However, she couldn't do that because sometimes the Empress Dowager would stay for one or two to chat and relieve her boredom.

Because there was no one above the rank of imperial concubine in the palace except her, she had to capture seven concubines to serve as temporary soldiers. However, on July 28, the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, when there was a big earthquake, Uya happened to give Kangxi a push in the Qianqing Palace, preventing him from being hit by the beams.

On the 13th day of the 10th month, Wu Ya was conferred the title of Depin and officially became the head of Yonghe Palace. This meant that she could raise children directly in the future.

However, the earthquake had an impact on her and she was injured by the continuous aftershocks. She could only get out of bed on the eve of the Golden Award Festival and managed to receive the imperial edict. After rescuing him, Kangxi also took the time to meet Uya once or twice.

Kangxi was not very grateful for the rescue. He was going to the Cining Palace. If Uya hadn't dragged him to talk, he wouldn't be in the Qianqing Palace, wouldn't have been almost hit, and wouldn't have been labeled as being rescued by a woman. But he gave her a position as a reward.

Even after giving birth to the sixth prince Yinzuo, Depin Uya did not get promoted in the twenty years of advancement. Like Yipin Guo Luoluo, she still remained in the position of concubine and could only wait until she gave birth to enough sons before being promoted.

Yu Suisui still became the Imperial Noble Consort according to the original owner's time, and had the status of half a queen. She also got the Phoenix Seal that had been idle in the hands of the Grand Empress Dowager for a long time. A queen in name only.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tong Fujin, the original owner's biological mother, had a chance to have a proper chat with her daughter after several years. It was possible when she was a concubine, but the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager never summoned her family members, so she just followed the giants and met them during festivals.

Of course there is no opportunity for small talk at this time.

"My queen, I am relieved that everything is fine. My queen has such a cruel heart. She has been in the palace for several years and has not summoned me, her mother. But she still has grievances against me and your father?" Looking at her daughter, Mrs. Tong picked up the embroidered handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, and said:

"You are my only legitimate daughter. How can I not feel sorry for you? But at that time, you were the only daughter of the right age in the Tong family. If we didn't send you to the palace, there would be no one else in the Tong family who could do it. Besides, you have always been smart. How come you don't know what mother feels? Mother likes your brother more, but she has never treated you badly. Your father holds you, the legitimate daughter, in his hands and loves you with all his heart."

Yu Suisui handed a new embroidered handkerchief to Mrs. Tong, "Mother, please don't wrongly accuse me. The fact that I haven't summoned you since I entered the palace has nothing to do with this."

Mrs. Tong looked up into her daughter's eyes and asked, "Is it really not related to this matter?"

"I promise that it has nothing to do with it. Since I entered the palace fifteen years ago, the only person in the palace who has summoned my family was the late Queen. The Grand Empress Dowager has not met her family in these years. How dare I do this?" She also had the idea of ​​saving trouble.

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Tong relaxed her back in the chair and looked at her daughter carefully. She was fair and rosy, and looked much healthier than at home. She thought that her daughter had been in the palace for five years and still had no children. She was already in her twenties this year.

"Your Majesty has no children now, and giving birth to a prince would be a big deal. If you have a prince, Your Majesty will have someone to rely on in the palace." As for the Fourth Prince who was raised by her daughter, to her, how could a bondservant's son be worthy of being her daughter's son?

Yu Suisui thought that she really had to see less people from the Tong family, so she stood up and sat next to Mrs. Tong, and said softly: "Mother, the women of the Tong family cannot give birth to princes. Mother, go back and persuade father and mother. The emperor and the empress dowager will not allow the Tong family to have princes, no matter which girl from the Tong family."

Mrs. Tong's eyes widened, and she pulled her daughter with trembling hands, "Are you telling the truth?" The Tong family is the emperor's maternal family? Half of her body is Tong's blood?

She patted Mrs. Tong's hand and whispered, "My daughter wouldn't joke about such a thing. If she gets pregnant, the baby she gives birth to will definitely be a princess, not a prince."

Mrs. Tong was puzzled, "Until the moment the baby falls into your belly, how can you know whether it is a boy or a girl?"

“Mother, the royal physician can tell the gender of a baby after three months. If a daughter is pregnant with a prince, she will be miscarried if she’s lucky, but will die if she’s unlucky.” Yu Suisui knew that all this was dug up from the original owner’s memory. Otherwise, how could the original owner’s wish have nothing to do with Kangxi?

Mrs. Tong held her daughter's hand tightly and asked, "How did you know?"

"Mother, do you know that the late Queen, Niuhuru, was healthier than her daughter's when she was canonized? How come she died of illness in just half a year? Niuhuru was more than three months pregnant in the first month of the seventeenth year, but the Emperor and the Empress Dowager suppressed the news and did not allow it to be reported. Yet, she ascended to the Western Paradise in just over a month. Do you know much about this, mother?" Yu Suisui turned out many memories hidden in the corners of the original owner's memory.

Now there is a rumor in the harem that Kangxi likes the sixth prince and deliberately gave him the character Zuo as his name, which means the throne. But they seem to have forgotten that Lady Nara's ninth prince is named Wanfu, which means the throne of the emperor.

The little prince who looks 60% like the emperor is the fruit of Kangxi's love. However, after the death of her two sons, Concubine Nala has been resentful of the emperor, which makes Kangxi avoid her now.

Originally he wanted to raise her position, but because Kangxi had no way out, it has been delayed until now.
