Chapter 982 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (19)

"The Imperial Kitchen!"

Little Pot looked surprised. "Master, do you mean that the ascension of the Uya clan was actually orchestrated by Emperor Kangxi?"

There's a reason for it, more or less.

Li Siqi responded, "However, it is not fair to the concubines that the position of head of the Imperial Kitchen has fallen into the hands of their relatives."

Especially those concubines with little status or position were basically not qualified to have children.

By the middle and later years of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the princes had all grown up.

Only concubines of lower rank had the opportunity to give birth.

You should know that Emperor Kangxi had 68 concubines with official titles, and there were probably dozens of untitled female officials as well.

If you count all the concubines who actually gave birth, there were only twenty.

There were 35 children born, of whom 11 died young.

This shows how fierce the power struggles were in Kangxi's harem.

It should be said how powerful the person who controlled the birth of Kangxi's children was.

"Without these bondservant servants taking action, who would believe it?"

"Master is right."

Xiao Huzi nodded, "Whether it's Consort Rong of the Majia clan who gave birth to six children, or Consort Wuya who will give birth to six children in the future."

Or perhaps it was Guoluo, who gave birth to three sons, or Zhangjia, who also gave birth to three children.

The sheer number of children they bore demonstrates just how powerful Kangxi's fertility was.

Emperor Kangxi had nearly a hundred women, but very few of them were able to bear children.

Even Emperor Kangxi himself probably wouldn't believe that no one intervened.

"Yes."

Li Siqi nodded, "It can be said that Kangxi tacitly approved it."

Now we'll see how Emperor Kangxi treats Lady Uya.

The little pot asked, "Master, should we remove the position of Consort De's grandfather?"

"He's getting on in years, so just let him rest at home."

Li Siqi instructed: "As for the newly appointed person, it is best if he has no family relationship with the concubines in the harem."

If all else fails, we'll make him one of ours.

I don't want my meals to be filled with random, unnecessary things.

"it is good."

Xiao Huzi agreed immediately.

……

The emperor was busy and had little time to visit the inner palace.

The entire harem was peaceful and quiet.

Yikun Palace.

Guo Luoluo touched her swollen belly, her brows furrowed with worry.

It seems they've encountered something difficult.

"what happened?"

The concubine of the Da Guo Luo Luo clan gazed at her younger sister and asked softly, "You are pregnant, you should not think too much."

This is not good for the child.

"Eh!"

Consort Guo Luoluo sighed softly and said, "The child will be born in three months, and I still don't know who will raise the child."

How could I not worry?

Consort Guo Luoluo paused for a moment, then asked, "Didn't you ask the Emperor, sister?"

"No, it's rare for His Majesty to come here."

Guo Luoluo, the nobleman, looked helpless. "I can't bother him with this matter."

However, there were only two imperial concubines in the highest positions in the harem.

Consort Tong has already raised the Fourth Prince, so it is unlikely that she will be able to raise any other princes for the time being.

The child in my womb will most likely be sent to Yongshou Palace to be raised by Consort Wen.

"Consort Wen is a kind person."

Consort Guoluo said softly, "It would be a good thing if she raised the child in your womb."

"I didn't say she was bad."

Consort Guoluo glanced at her, hesitated, and said, "I was thinking..."

"What do you think?"

Consort Guo Luoluo looked surprised. "Do you perhaps have other plans?"

"Sister, it's too difficult for us to establish ourselves in the harem."

Consort Guo Luoluo said with a wry smile, "Although the Emperor has been quite good to us sisters."

However, the number of women in the harem kept increasing.

"The Emperor will probably no longer be able to look after us."

"What do you mean, sister?"

"Find someone to rely on!"

"rely on?"

Consort Guo Luoluo was stunned. "Sister, who in the harem can be our support?"

What does finding someone to rely on have to do with raising the child in your womb?

Do you also intend to give your unborn child to someone else?

Consort Guo Luoluo remained silent for a while.

Looking up at her, she asked, "Sister, do you think the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager would raise the child?"

"Does my sister mean to send the child to the Empress Dowager to be raised?"

Consort Guo Luoluo looked somewhat surprised.

Seeing her sister nod, she couldn't help but chuckle. "Does your sister think that's possible?"

The Empress Dowager was unwilling to even raise the Crown Prince.

Not to mention the children of the concubines in the harem.

Besides, the Empress Dowager's health is deteriorating, how could the Emperor allow a small infant to disturb her peace?

"My sister is right."

Consort Guoluo smiled bitterly and said, "It was my oversight."

but……

If the Grand Empress Dowager is unsuitable, then what about the Empress Dowager?

The Empress Dowager is not very old.

And he's in good spirits.

I'm willing to give my child to her to raise.

From now on, no one will dare to touch the children born to my sister and me.

"This……"

It has to be said that she was also very tempted by this suggestion.

Women in the imperial harem needed someone to care for them if they wanted to be favored, and children needed someone to take care of them if they wanted to grow up healthily.

Either your family is supportive and can stand up for you.

Either they have someone in the harem who takes care of them.

Although the Guoluo family is an old and established family.

The only one who truly amounted to anything was their father, Sanguanbao, who was a Zuo Ling (military commander).

My brothers and the rest of the clan are all mediocre.

It's difficult to stand up for these sisters.

The best solution is to find someone to rely on.

"Sister, you probably don't know this."

Consort Guoluo said in a deep voice, "When Lady Wuya gave birth to the Fourth Prince, something almost happened."

Fortunately, Consort Tong and Lady Wuya were prepared.

Otherwise, it's uncertain whether the Fourth Prince would even be able to give birth.

At this point, she looked at the person in front of her and said, "Sister, it was when you gave birth to the sixth princess."

Some people even wanted to make a move on the older sister.

If we hadn't been so well prepared, my sister might have fallen for their tricks too.

Therefore, we must find people willing to protect us.

"I know what you mean."

Consort Guo Luoluo said, "The Empress Dowager might be a good candidate, but she probably won't agree to raise your child."

"why?"

Consort Guo Luoluo frowned. "Now, I am the only one in the harem who is willing to entrust her child to her care."

How could she possibly refuse?

"Not only will she not agree, but I'm afraid the Emperor will not agree easily either."

Consort Guo Luoluo replied earnestly, "Sister, you should think about it. If the Empress Dowager were to raise the prince..."

Therefore, if she raised the eldest prince, she would definitely be close to the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia.

A prince who is close to the Mongol tribes is unlikely to be favored by the emperor.

Have you thought about this?

“Sister, our Guoluo clan certainly won’t only have one prince.”

A determined glint flashed in Consort Guo Luoluo's eyes, "If we can gain the protection of the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager..."

It's good for all of us.

I think it's just that the Emperor is unhappy; one day he'll understand our predicament.

"Maybe."

Consort Guo Luoluo added, "However, you should also consider whether the Empress Dowager will agree."

If she is unwilling to raise the prince.

No matter how good our plan is, it's useless.
