The Bewitching Master of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 325: Shunzhi Empress Xiaohui Qiqige 58

The Manchu court officials were even more enthusiastic.

There are also horses, brocade, jewelry and gold.

The Queen Mother was very happy to receive everyone's attention.

On the same day, Shunzhi gave the twins names: Prince Jingrong and Princess Jinghua.

Xue Li was too lazy to go out, so she told others that she was in confinement after giving birth.

Shunzhi didn't mind at all that he couldn't see Xueli.

The Queen Mother also arranged for someone to keep a close eye on the two children.

Shunzhi felt somewhat unhappy when he saw the Empress Dowager's behavior.

But neither the Queen Mother nor Xue Li paid attention to his thoughts.

At the same time, colored glaze ornaments and colored glaze accessories entered the palace.

Oboi pretended to be on behalf of Shunzhi and negotiated cooperation with Gao Xueli.

The court officials also followed suit, and the demand for glass ornaments was in short supply.

While Xue Li was still happily counting the silver bills, Concubine Jing was about to leave.

I also deliberately waited until after attending my child's full-month banquet before leaving.

Boongkho didn't feel so bad because of the little ones.

The one who feels uncomfortable is Dong E!

Her grace is still outstanding and unique.

However, Dong E was not at peace in her heart, and Shunzhi often wandered around the harem in order to have an heir.

But Dong E had to pretend to be virtuous so that Shunzhi would benefit equally.

It is estimated that, historically speaking, Shunzhi's huge influence and his blatant preference for her made her feel at peace and confident that Shunzhi had no one else in his heart.

Therefore, even as a queen, she was respectful to her superiors and kind to her subordinates, doing everything in a thoughtful manner.

At this moment, Shunzhi was somewhat fond of her.

However, Shunzhi had always felt alienated from her because of the incense incident, and since it had not been long since they had communicated via carrier pigeons, Shunzhi was not that concerned about her.

Dong E was depressed and looked much more haggard.

A month later, Dong E's ex-husband passed away!

It is said that he was killed because of chasing rebels!

Xue Li pulled Bai Lu aside and asked him about the cause of his death with a curious look on her face.

As a result, Shunzhi and Dong E started to quarrel.

A man who feels that his partner has someone else in her heart, otherwise why would he feel so sorry for her and why would he dress so simply?

One of them said nothing, feeling that the other party looked down on her and was full of grievances, just venting her anger.

Xue Li looked at the little eunuch who was also gossiping and thought it was nonsense.

Shunzhi was so concerned about Dong E?

It’s Chinese New Year again soon!

As the New Year’s Day dinner was held, everyone spontaneously recalled last year’s big drama.

But it’s pointless to talk about that matter for a year.

And it was obvious that Shunzhi preferred Dong E more than his concubines.

So everyone is too lazy to look for trouble!

They will be the ones who are punished then.

But after the same dinner this year, Shunzhi visited the palace maids in the Qianqing Palace.

Sydney doesn't mind at all!

After all, if she had been nice to Shunzhi, Shunzhi would have followed her tonight.

But Xueli is now content with having a son and is too lazy to flatter him.

The next day, there was a new princess in the harem.

There was no grand court meeting today, so when the concubines paid their respects, Shunzhi brought his new favorite with him.

The young ladies looked on eagerly, they were just simply curious.

Dong E's eyes looked extremely fragile.

Seeing Shunzhi being so gentle and considerate to the little beauty, Dong E clutched her handkerchief and was about to cry.

The new bride, Ma, was a Han Chinese woman with a slender waist and long legs, and was as gentle as water.

Her cheeks were red at this moment, and she looked at Shunzhi with a sweet and shy expression.

Xue Li could foresee the numbness and desolation she would feel in half a year.

Shunzhi caught a glimpse of Xueli looking at his new favorite.

He even put his arms around the other's slender waist, his eyes full of doting.

Xue Li looked at Shunzhi with disgust.

"You're so disgusting at the beginning of the new year?! Do you think you're a star?"

Shunzhi's face changed, he withdrew his hand and sat down with a serious face.

Ma Gege was so frightened that he was at a loss for a moment, and truly experienced that serving the king is like serving a tiger.

"Okay, serve some tea!" Xue Li felt tired seeing her helpless look like a deer.

The last person like this was Dong E!

However, Dong E came from a big family after all, so she had her own plans.

this……

"At first glance, this sister looks very similar to Dong E's sister!" Ager suddenly spoke, looking at Dong E with sarcasm in his eyes.

Everyone turned around at the same time and found that Dong E's face was pale and her eyes were full of fragility.

Shunzhi put down the teacup and looked at Dong E with some heartache.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, which heart are you feeling sorry for?"

Xue Li yawned slowly, and then couldn't help but complain in her heart.

There's nothing I can do. It's the beginning of the new year and I can't sleep in. So it's understandable that she's a little grumpy when she wakes up, right? !

Shunzhi glared at Xueli and said nothing.

Ma was already kneeling and bowing.

She presented Xueli with a handkerchief that she had embroidered herself.

Xue Li didn't make it difficult for her: "Do your best to help the emperor have children, and you too!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

"I'm talking about you! Humph! Even a good cook cannot cook without rice~"

After Xueli finished speaking, she supported Tus and took everyone to the Cining Palace to pay their respects.

Shunzhi finally realized what Xueli meant.

His face changed and he got on the imperial carriage with resentment.

Went to the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother is in good spirits.

After asking the twins, he then asked the other princes and princesses.

Then there are the greetings from the newlyweds.

In theory, it doesn’t matter whether this person comes or not.

Shunzhi didn't mind, and Xue Li didn't mind either, but the Empress Dowager was puzzled. After all, Dong E was a unique woman.

But after seeing it, the Queen Mother realized it clearly.

Her son looks so much like the late emperor!

I just like those little white flowers that are so weak and can’t take care of themselves!

Come to think of it, the Queen also has that kind of temperament.

It’s just that their tempers are different, and the queen can’t pretend for long.

The Queen Mother thought casually and gave some rewards to the concubines and let them leave.

Shunzhi and Xueli accompanied the Empress Dowager for dinner and then returned to their respective palaces!

After all, there will be a banquet in the next half month!

After the New Year, preparations for a new round of auditions began.

Because the first selection of concubines in the Qing Dynasty was in the tenth year of Shunzhi, when the daughters of some meritorious officials were selected from all over the country to serve in the palace.

There was no systematic selection later!

So this time is also relatively simple.

The Queen Mother intended to allow the ministers' daughters to participate in the selection.

However, the entry of several old princes from large families into the palace made the empress dowager very angry.

After all, everyone in the former dynasty and the harem knew that the current emperor favored Dong E alone.

Wouldn't it be a waste of their youth if their daughters of noble families entered the palace?

So what they meant was that either a pretty girl from a branch family should be chosen, or the aunt from their family simply shouldn't participate in the draft.

This will make the Queen Mother very angry!

No matter what she does, it is not anyone else's turn to look down on her son.

It was just that Xue Li came to pay her respects, so the Queen Mother naturally asked about Xue Li.

"Queen, what do you think?"

"I think what they said is right. This won't just make enemies! Even if they agree, I will ask their family to fully support my son's ascension to the throne in the future!" Xue Li is always outspoken!

The queen mother couldn't help coughing while holding the milk tea, and her expression was very complicated.
