Chapter 279: The Goddess of Childbirth: Legend of Zhen Huan (9)
"I promise that the Kunqu Opera is good. I wonder if I have ever sung it for the Emperor?"
"No, I thought that the Emperor would have enough singers, and since you were free, I sang for you."
Shi Yi didn't expect that Yu Ying'er would actually use something that was supposed to be used to curry favor with him to flatter him. Come to think of it, there is no need to curry favor with him in the harem nowadays, as there are only a few people around the emperor.
Shi Yi looked at the restless souls in the space. It seemed that Yu Ying'er was going to be pregnant. The emperor would have one less person by his side. Guaerjia was the most favored one among the four because she was really blessed with a beautiful face.
But her brain wasn't working very well, and under deliberate instigation, she came to the yard where Shiyi usually hung out. However, she didn't expect that she would sit there for a whole day in the scorching heat and still not see anyone.
It was the hottest time of the day, and Shi Yi was too lazy to go out, so he hid in the palace and ate ice cream. Guaerjia went back in a rage, and tried again the next day, but unfortunately it was another hot day.
After three days, Guaerjia finally gave up and decided not to wait any longer, but at this moment, Shiyi came out, and Guaerjia had to pay her respects reluctantly.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine"
"Get up." Shi Yi was still polite to the concubines in the palace. After all, they were all going to become the mothers of the remnant soul. It was not right to harm someone's body and abuse them, right?
When faced with the gentle Shi Yi, Guaerjia's anger suddenly subsided. Yes, why should she make things difficult for Concubine Fu? Isn't Concubine Fu a nice person?
The silly Guaerjia liked Shiyi more and more and thought she looked like her sister. Seeing that Shiyi liked to have fun, she went over to play with him.
Not to mention, although Guaerjia was not very smart, she was different when it came to playing games. She was really good at it. Shiyi had a great time playing and gave Guaerjia a lot of gifts.
Including but not limited to two residual souls. Since she is a woman born into a prominent Manchu family, let's send two candidates to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, such as Ge Neniang and Qin Liangyu.
Guarjia had no idea what kind of extraordinary genius she was about to embrace, so she just happily returned to her residence. When she learned that the emperor was coming, she immediately began to wash.
Shiyi came to the scene as usual. After watching the not-so-exciting activities of the two, Shiyi sent the selected residual soul to Guaerjia, and then left after watching the residual soul stabilize.
At the beginning of June, news came from the palace that the queen was about to give birth. The emperor still valued this unborn son very much and planned to return to the palace immediately, but was persuaded by the empress dowager. The empress dowager only advised casually, but the emperor really did not go.
This action hurt the queen's heart. Thinking of her father Honghui who had passed away young, she suddenly felt a trace of hatred towards the emperor.
On the sixth day of June, the empress gave birth to her legitimate son, the sixth prince. The emperor named him Hongzhao and sent many gifts to the empress, but this could not make up for the fact that he was not there when the empress gave birth.
The queen pretended to be magnanimous and was more satisfied than anyone else holding her son. As for her innermost thoughts, no one knew. Concubine Hua felt uncomfortable seeing the queen like this.
Sympathy for one's own kind spreads among the emperor, even when the empress gave birth to a child. What's more, they are prone to worrying too much during pregnancy. As a result, more concubines began to become depressed, and the pace of the imperial doctors became much faster.
Not long after, Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Borjigit also gave birth to children. Noble Lady Fucha gave birth to the seventh prince (Yongzheng version), and Noble Lady Borjigit gave birth to two princesses, the third and fourth princesses (Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping).
The emperor gave rewards as usual, but the person still did not return.
At the same time, several women in the Old Summer Palace became pregnant one after another, and the emperor had no one to serve him. However, due to state affairs, the emperor was not in a hurry to find someone to serve him this time.
By the time they left Yuanmingyuan at the end of October, there were already many more children in the palace, including the fifth princess born to Concubine Qi (Lü Zhi), the sixth princess born to Concubine Duan (Fu Hao), the seventh princess born to Concubine Xin (Wu Zetian), the eighth prince born to Concubine Jing (Zhu Yuanzhang), the eighth and ninth princesses born to Concubine Shen (Ban Jieyu and Ban Zhao), the tenth princess (Dou Yifang) and the ninth prince (Yang Jian) born to Concubine Cao Qinmo, the twelfth and thirteenth princesses born to Concubine Li (She Caihua and Mu Guiying), the eleventh and fourteenth princesses born to Concubine Hua (Li Shimin and Princess Pingyang Zhao), the twelfth and thirteenth princes born to Zhen Huan (Zhuge Liang and Liu Xiu)
When the emperor returned to the palace, all he saw were children and all he heard were the cries of children. The emperor was a little confused by the sudden appearance of so many children in the palace. Having many children is naturally a good thing, and there were so many twins, so the emperor waved his hand and everyone was promoted to a higher level.
In the following years, the emperor's favorite concubines gave birth to several children one after another. The crying of children in the palace never stopped, and the emperor was getting older and older.
Faced with his many children, the emperor even felt jealous, and faced with the mysterious man Shiyi, the emperor gradually began to have bad thoughts.
After knocking out the secret guard who tried to take her blood, Shi Yi began to deploy her final plan. Soon, Concubine Hua learned the truth about the death of her child and the musk in the Huan Yi Xiang.
The empress also knew that the emperor had instigated Honghui's death, and Concubine Duan also knew who was the culprit behind the decline of her mother's family, so the hatred of the women in the harem was nothing to be afraid of.
But what if every concubine hated him?
Hua Fei's children were experts in leading troops to rebel. When the ten-year-old Eleventh Prince led the imperial guards to surround the Forbidden City, the emperor was still confused.
"How dare you! Are you planning a rebellion?"
"Your Majesty, isn't this obvious?" At this moment, Princess Fourteen was somewhat suspicious that the Emperor's brain was not working properly, which was not wrong.
Under the instigation of Liu Che and Chen Ajiao, the spices burned by An Lingrong were all harmful to the emperor, and when mixed with the ambergris used by the emperor, it would become a chronic poison.
After a tacit rebellion by the entire harem, the emperor was doomed and was forced to become the emperor emeritus. Crown Prince Yongzhao ascended the throne and took out the world map provided by Shiyi.
"I think it's better to have some things in this world that are unified. If different currencies are used in different places, wouldn't it be difficult for people to trade? If we don't speak the same language, how can we communicate?"
In order to satisfy Yongzhao's idea of unifying everything, the princes and princesses brought their friends in groups of three or four and began to expand.
Shiyi was very satisfied as he looked at the territory that was expanding from time to time. Moreover, as the territory expanded, everyone's souls became more and more complete, and their memories of their previous lives gradually recovered.
If the situation continued like this, they would be able to reincarnate on their own soon and Shiyi would be free. Holding the kitten in her arms, Shiyi closed her eyes happily.
