The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 49: Cancellation of Dowry and Education of the Nanny

Chapter 49: Cancellation of the Dowry and the Raising of a Nanny

Before falling asleep that night, Yinreng hugged Buerhe and whispered in his ear: "I am wrong about this matter, but if I were to take charge of the matter of educating the nanny, the effect would be greatly reduced. Besides, if you do it, the emperor will see you as caring about your sisters, but if I take over, the emperor will suspect that I am about to contact Mongolia."

Bu Erhe had come to her senses by now and knew that what Yinreng said was right. In fact, she had been able to sense in the past two years that the Emperor's feelings towards the Crown Prince were very complicated, mixed with suspicion. Don't ask why it was clear. The entire Yuqing Palace could be said to be in the hands of Bu Erhe now. Yinreng had already explained clearly the Crown Prince's men, so the only ones left who had doubts but the Crown Prince prevented her from dealing with must be the Emperor's men.

However, at this moment, Buerhe was full of confidence in her heart. No matter who you belonged to, she didn't believe that you would not be assimilated after staying in Yuqing Palace for a few more years.

Her requirements were not high. As long as these servants did not falsify the information when reporting it, then Yuqing Palace would win this round.

On the second day, after getting the book, Buer and Xiongrongrong went to the Qianqing Palace again with high spirits. This time, they directly gave data to prove the pros and cons of these trial marriage princesses and the foster maids in the princess's upbringing. After statistics, it was found that the pros were minimal, but the cons were obvious. It can be said that most of the reasons for the discord between the princess and her husbands were due to these foster maids.

The rest basically lived relatively happily only after the princess managed to keep the governess in her hands and suffered several serious losses.

Moreover, most of these were princesses who married into the Khorchin grassland, and most of the other princesses died young.

When Kangxi saw this booklet, he was furious. He had never expected that many of the Qing Dynasty's policies to pacify Mongolia since its founding had been defeated by the governess. This was something he could never accept.

Kangxi did not let Buerhe participate in the following matters. He just asked her to prepare according to the dowry list first. As for the nanny, he would make a decision after the person who went to investigate came back.

Bu Erhe did not dwell on these things, but just whispered to Ke Jing the next time she came to Yuqing Palace, asking her to train her own trusted nanny first.

Ke Jing understood immediately, and from then on, whenever she wasn't studying at Yuqing Palace, she spent most of her time trying to find the imperial physicians, cooks, and maids Buer had instructed her to do. She even consulted the Empress Dowager, who was also an insider. Or rather, the Emperor never hid anything from her, but the old lady was just a bit tight-lipped.

Ke Jing had begged so much that the empress dowager gave her a few names and also gave Ke Jing two suitable maids in her palace.

At this time, Empress Dowager Qiqige was talking to Naren in Shoukang Palace. "Look, I said Buerhe was not an ordinary person, but you always think she is just clever. She was taught by my old friend. Over the years, my old friend has praised her in many letters. How could the girl she praised be bad?"

Naren: "Yes, I obey my master. Princess Wujina has always had a long-term vision."

The Queen Mother said: "Hmph, now you have admitted it so readily, knowing that there is no problem with Wujina's teaching. You were still skeptical that day. If I hadn't stopped you quickly, you don't know what you would have suffered now! I don't know if my face would be big enough by then."

Naren was puzzled: "I didn't feel that the Crown Princess was unhappy. Even if the master hadn't stopped me that day, I don't think the Crown Princess would have caused me any trouble, right?"

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at Naren. "How could someone as shrewd as she is usually be so foolish as to make such a mistake here? Buerhe won't take it personally; she's a generous and forgiving person. But don't forget the Crown Prince. If word of what happened that day gets out, he'll definitely find an opportunity to punish you. This is a great disrespect to the master, and even if you're my servant, this is unforgivable."

Naren finally reacted at this time. It was mainly because the Crown Princess was usually gentle and polite, and the Crown Prince always behaved like a modest gentleman when he appeared with the Crown Princess, so that she had forgotten how selfish the Crown Prince was before he got married and how the Emperor's grace was inviolable.

The master reminded her of this matter in time. It was she who got carried away, thinking that after the passing of the Grand Empress Dowager, her master was the most important, and so she promoted herself to the position of Su Malagu. But who was Su Malagu? She was the old lady who grew up with the Grand Empress Dowager and stayed by her side for over sixty years. Moreover, many of the current emperor's calligraphy skills were taught by Su Malagu. It is not an exaggeration to say that she was the emperor's enlightenment teacher. To this day, the emperor still calls Su Malagu "Aunt Su".

Looking at myself again, I only came to serve after my master became the empress dowager. I have been the empress dowager's confidant over the years, but every time the emperor saw me, he just called me Naren Ma because of our relationship with the empress dowager. As for anything else, I didn't receive any preferential treatment at all.

After figuring out the key, Nanny Naren knelt before the Queen Mother and admitted her mistake: "I know I was wrong. I will reflect on it and correct it immediately."

The Queen Mother was satisfied to see her personal maid admit her mistake. She felt that the purpose of today's scolding had been achieved, so she did not pursue the matter any further. "Alright, get up. It's enough that you know you were wrong. You must correct it next time. All my glory comes from the Emperor. I don't want the Emperor to have any opinion of me because of you."

Naren stood up obediently: "Yes, Master, I will remember it."

Time passed quickly, and two months went by in the blink of an eye. One day, when Bu Erhe was preparing complementary food for the twins, Liang Jiugong, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, came to visit.

When Buerhe came out of the side hall, he saw Liang Jiugong already waiting at the door of the main hall.

Liang Jiugong: "Your servant pays respects to the Crown Princess. May the Crown Princess be blessed with good health."

Buerhe personally helped Liang Jiugong up: "Liang An Da is very polite. I wonder why you came here today? What does the emperor want?"

Liang Jiugong: "Thank you, Crown Princess. The Emperor has just issued an edict to abolish the trial marriage bride and the nurse that the Imperial Household Department had prepared for the princess. The princess will now choose the bride herself. The prince consort must have his pulse examined by two imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital before the marriage. The Emperor has also verbally awarded the Crown Princess two oriental pearls, a hectare of southern pearls, and two sets of exquisite ruby ​​jewelry."

Burhe was delighted. This matter had finally been accomplished: "Thank you, my daughter-in-law, for your grace, my father."

After receiving the gift, the Crown Princess personally escorted Liang Jiugong out of the main courtyard. Of course, small red envelopes are indispensable as usual, but this time there is no need to be sneaky, because the Crown Princess has just been rewarded, and this time she can give the red envelope openly to share in the joy.

The Crown Princess received the reward that afternoon, and the imperial edict spread throughout the palace that evening. Of course, the most interesting thing was not what reward the Crown Princess had received, but why the imperial edict suddenly mentioned the trial marriage princess and the foster nanny.

Of course, those who have daughters must be extremely grateful for the contribution made by the Crown Princess. On the contrary, many of the bondservant families are willing to be nannies, but they persist because they can make a lot of money from it. If the emperor suddenly issues an order that princesses will no longer be assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then all their previous efforts and the money they paid to get the position of nanny will be wasted, right?

For a time, the palace's opinions on the Crown Princess were polarized. The princesses and their mothers were grateful to her, while the nannies and their families hated her to the core.

The revenge of the nannies in the Imperial Household Department came quickly. Burhe soon realized that the dowry that was originally prepared in an orderly manner suddenly came to a standstill one day. At first, she thought that something was incomplete and needed to wait, but when the same progress was made the next day, Burhe realized that someone was trying to trip her up.

She sneered. There was no need to think about it. Those were the people she had offended recently. Buerhe was not panicking. These people did not see the situation clearly. It was okay to provoke her, but they didn't think about who was in control of the Imperial Household Department now?

That's the cold-faced Fourth Master. He always does things in a strict and upright manner. How dare you pull the tiger's beard under him? Buerhe can only pray for them silently.

That night, when Yinreng returned, Buerhe muttered something, then simply left it alone. Of all things, preparing complementary foods for the twins was the most important thing for Buerhe.

The twins, a boy and a girl, had already grown their baby teeth last month. So far, little Tangyuan has four in his mouth, and little Yuebing has three.

Babies always want to chew something during their teething period. Bull and Aunt Pang and Liuli from the small kitchen have been researching teething biscuits these past few days.

They have already made some, but they were either too soft or too hard. Today she thought of a new method and was about to go to the small kitchen to try it out.

While a new batch of teething cookies was being baked in the small kitchen, the Fourth Prince announced the punishment for those who had caused trouble in the Imperial Household Department.

The Fourth Prince remained the same ruthless and unfeeling Fourth Master. Anyone who failed to follow the imperial edict, missed work, or deliberately sabotaged or delayed work would be demoted or even sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Thus, the actions against the Crown Princess, originally sparked by the nurse, were crushed under the Fourth Prince's harsh crackdown.

Afterwards, Bu Erhe invited the Fourth Lady to visit Yuqing Palace, and asked her to express her gratitude to the Fourth Beile. He also copied a copy of his diet list before pregnancy and gave it to her as a gift.

Don't underestimate this list. It is the essence of the experience accumulated by Aunt Pang over the years. Moreover, since Buerhe gave birth to twins, many people have asked about it, but Buerhe has not revealed a single thing.

Is this list truly magical? Not really. Many of these ingredients are for nourishing the body and aiding fertility. As long as a woman is healthy, using them will undoubtedly increase her chances of pregnancy.

Moreover, the Fourth Lady also followed the previous advice of Buerhe, and usually wore flat shoes or cut the bottoms of her shoes in half, and her dressing style also tended to be gentler. Over the past six months, it was heard that the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Lady got along well and respected each other, and the Fourth Lady also showed a happy smile on her face.

When the Fourth Lady received the order, she was extremely excited. This was the Crown Princess's exclusive secret recipe. She didn't ask for twins, as she would be satisfied with just one.

The Fourth Lady bowed to Buerhe and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Second Sister-in-law. Don't worry, I promise that this list will never be leaked to anyone else."

Bu Erhe nodded, indicating that he believed her. In fact, Bu Erhe was not too worried about the spread of this list. It was just a health-preserving medicinal food, and he could get it even by asking the imperial physician. However, he was blessed with twins, so more people believed that it came from his hand.

Since the Fourth Lady wants it and I have it, why not give her one?
