Chapter 988 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (25)
"also."
The Empress Dowager did not refute it.
Although it violates some ancestral rules.
However, the emperor is the one who sets the rules.
If he wants to change things, let him.
Moreover, what the emperor said was indeed reasonable.
After a moment of contemplation, he added, "You already have quite a few concubines in your harem."
When you have time, you should determine the ranks of the concubines.
Stop making such a mess.
Most importantly, the ranks of the imperial concubines and other high-ranking officials should also be decided.
"Grandmother, rest assured, your grandson knows what he's doing."
Kangxi did not refuse, saying, "I will be busy during this period."
I'll take care of this when I have some free time.
……
After Kangxi left.
The Empress Dowager quickly relayed the Emperor's message to her.
"Qiqige, if you are not willing to raise the child in Consort Liang's womb together, I will bring this up with the Emperor when other concubines are pregnant."
The Empress Dowager looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help but feel sorry for her hardship. "High-ranking concubines may not be willing to send their children away."
If they were noble ladies, or concubines such as Changzai or Daxing.
I know you're willing to help her raise the child.
"I'll definitely agree."
"Your Majesty, no need."
The Empress Dowager came to her senses and smiled, "Actually, this is quite good."
I don't want to take someone else's child.
Since the Emperor has allowed Consort Liang and I to raise the child together...
That would be perfect.
"You need to think it over carefully."
A complex look flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes. "Perhaps you'll end up doing all the work for someone else."
Even if you help raise a child, that child may not necessarily listen to you in the end.
"Empress Mother, what good is it if the child is obedient?"
The Empress Dowager sighed softly, "The children of the Aisin Gioro clan will always be the children of the Aisin Gioro clan."
Could he possibly do anything to harm the interests of the Aisin Gioro family for us?
"Qiqige, be careful what you say!"
The Empress Dowager frowned.
Even though I know it's true, there are some things I shouldn't say aloud.
“Empress Mother, I’m just telling the truth.”
The Empress Dowager suddenly felt somewhat disheartened. "I've lived half my life, it doesn't matter whether I raise children or not."
Raising children is just a way to pass the time.
There's no need for the Empress Dowager to mention this matter again.
That's settled then!
I'll take my leave now!
The Empress Dowager rose, bowed, and then turned to leave.
The Empress Dowager stared blankly as she left.
It took her a while to come to her senses, and she said to Su Ma La Gu beside her, "I was only doing this for her own good."
Why are you suddenly unhappy again?
The emperor was clearly unwilling to send Consort Liang's child to Kangshou Palace.
If we wait a while longer, the lower-ranking concubines can send their children to Kangshou Palace, and even the emperor won't say anything then.
I really don't understand why she's so convinced that Consort Liang is the child.
"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that the Empress Dowager is very insightful."
Sumalagu explained softly, "Actually, the Empress Dowager just wants a child to play with, and doesn't necessarily have to raise him in Kangshou Palace."
Besides, even if the child is raised in Kangshou Palace, the Empress Dowager would not refuse the child's birth mother's visits.
It's essentially the same as raising the child together with the adoptive mother.
The Empress Dowager was already prepared to raise the child with Consort Liang.
You suddenly suggested that she raise another child.
The Empress Dowager couldn't accept it.
"What's so unacceptable about it?"
The Empress Dowager snorted softly, "If you're going to raise a child, you should naturally raise him entirely by your side."
Children raised this way will naturally be obedient and well-behaved.
If he had been raised with his birth mother, his heart might not have been with Qiqige.
"Your Majesty, what if the child we raised sides with the Empress Dowager?"
Sumalagu responded softly, "This servant thinks the Empress Dowager is right."
Even if it was a child raised by the Empress Dowager herself, it was impossible for her to be completely loyal to the Khorchin Mongols.
Whether it was the late emperor or the current emperor, you know their attitudes.
"..."
The Empress Dowager was stunned when she heard this.
She hadn't thought about this question for a long time.
The more she wanted her son to support the Mongolian tribes, the more her son loathed the Mongols.
No matter how many Mongolian princesses he married into the palace, in the end...
The same goes for grandchildren whom you raised yourself.
Don't be fooled by how filial the child is to me, and how he seems to do whatever I want.
However, whenever it involves Mongolian tribes, he has his own reasons to refuse.
It was a selection of Mongolian princesses, and the concubines who entered the palace were all widows in name only.
Forget about being favored, she didn't even have the right to give birth to a prince.
Did she really expect the next prince to favor her maternal family, the Khorchin tribe?
Think of this.
The Empress Dowager's expression darkened.
After a long pause, she finally spoke, "Fine, let Qiqi do whatever she wants."
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is just trying to pass the time and has no other intentions."
Sumalagu did not want to sow discord between the aunt and niece. "However, you are right, since the Empress Dowager is involved in raising the child."
Then this child will definitely be filial to the Empress Dowager.
As long as there is one child who is willing to wholeheartedly support the Empress Dowager.
For the Empress Dowager, it was worth it.
"..."
The Empress Dowager remained silent.
From now on.
He also stopped interfering in the affairs of the imperial grandsons.
The days fly by.
The Emperor and Empress Dowager personally guarded Changchun Palace.
No matter who it is, they won't have the chance to make a move.
Li Siqi gave birth to the Eighth Prince smoothly.
Not only was the Emperor happy, but the Empress Dowager was also delighted.
They brought a generous gift when we celebrated the baby's third-day celebration.
The gifts sent by the Empress Dowager were all quite substantial.
Everyone remembered that Consort Liang came from Kangshou Palace and was bestowed upon the Emperor by the Empress Dowager.
I couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
All of this has nothing to do with Li Siqi.
All she needs to do is take good care of herself during her postpartum period.
Before you knew it, the full moon had arrived.
Li Siqi, who had already recovered, appeared before everyone.
It still retains its exquisite and serene appearance.
The other concubines were nothing but jealous.
Kangxi, who hadn't recharged in a long time, played all night.
He went to court the next day still full of energy.
He really loved this feeling.
On this wonderful day.
More good news arrived: Admiral Shi Lang of the navy had completely recovered Taiwan.
They also presented the surrender documents of the thirty-six islands of Taiwan, as well as a register of the land's inhabitants.
Emperor Kangxi laughed heartily in his study.
The people inside and outside the capital were very excited.
Deep down, Chinese people hope that their territory can be as large as possible.
They hope that the lost land can be reclaimed.
Of course, this kind of excitement had little to do with the concubines in the harem.
At most, it's just a moment of happiness for the emperor.
Li Siqi carried the child to Kangshou Palace.
"The Empress Dowager."
Li Siqi walked in carrying the child, saying, "Your grandson is here."
Quick, take it!
"I'm exhausted!"
"What are you shouting about?"
The Empress Dowager was immediately displeased.
Quickly bring the child over. "You're a mother now, and you still speak so loudly."
What if you scare Yinzhi?
You.
This is getting more and more unreliable.
"Your Majesty, you cannot despise me now that you have a grandson."
Li Siqi rubbed her sore wrists. "Who told you to get so fat? Of course it's hard for me to carry your grandson."
What a chubby little boy!
"Fat? What do you mean, fat?"
The Empress Dowager glared at her and said, "How can you talk about a child like that?"
Our Yinzhi is adorable, sturdy, and strong.
You're not allowed to call him a little fat boy.
