Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 202: Chang Zai's Promotion Story 32 (End)

The time came to the 30th year of Qianlong's reign.

Qianlong announced that he would go on a tour to the south of the Yangtze River, and Ji Huan was on the list as expected. However, she knew that no good would come of this trip, so before leaving, she stayed in the palace because she was diagnosed with pregnancy.

Most of her opponents followed her.

Compared with his grandfather Kangxi, Qianlong was even more shameless. Although Kangxi was lustful, he still had a fig leaf. On the one hand, he went to the south of the Yangtze River for fun, but on the other hand, he really had business.

When Kangxi went to the south of the Yangtze River, although he brought concubines with him, their number was very small. Basically, due to some political needs, he needed concubines to come forward to receive the wives of ministers.

Qianlong followed suit and took most of his harem to Jiangnan. He was a man who valued pomp and circumstance, so one can imagine the expenses on the road.

It’s no wonder that people in later generations always say that Yongzheng saved money and Qianlong spent it.

This shows the importance of a good father.

Jihuan enjoys a leisurely and carefree pregnancy.

Three months later, the queen came back after cutting her hair, and with her came news about her.

Although there was no clear decree to depose the queen, all the queens and the imperial seals and imperial decrees that had previously been used to confer titles were taken away, and the queen herself was confined to her room and not allowed to go out.

The news Ji Huan got was that Empress Nara wanted to persuade Emperor Qianlong, who was about to commit suicide, and the two quarreled, which led to the hair cutting.

The Manchus cut their hair to mourn for their country and their husbands.

Both of them were cursing Qianlong, and the result is predictable.

Jihuan was not surprised at all to hear such news. Qianlong was already over fifty years old, but he was still very capable in bed. Of course, this was thanks to Jihuan's help.

He had been to Jiangnan many times before. Now that he was older, he probably wanted to try something different and seek some excitement.

The Queen had the duty to give advice, so it cannot be said that Queen Nara did anything wrong in this matter.

Ji Huan had long lost her patience with the old man who was in his fifties, almost sixty years old. If she didn't want the children to be too close in age, she would have stopped serving him long ago.

After giving birth to this baby, she will no longer be cuckolded. As for whether her life will be difficult without the grace of God, there is no need to worry about that.

Concubine Shu is now frail and sickly, and Concubine Ling has worn herself out from giving birth to so many children over the years, and her favor is gone.

The following four concubines are all quite old.

When he was young, Qianlong liked mature women. As he got older and felt the passage of time, his tastes changed a little. He became very fond of those young and beautiful concubines.

At this age, it’s time for these high-ranking concubines to take a break.

Her enemies have lost their favor, so it is naturally not so important whether Ji Huan has favor or not.

Qianlong returned two months later than Empress Nara, mainly because he had had enough fun.

As the saying goes, a son doesn't feel sorry for selling his father's land. He is really not afraid of losing his kingdom.

When Qianlong came back, he went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat. Although Jihuan was pregnant, her pregnancy looked good. When they went to the Old Summer Palace together, it was still a natural picture.

When Ji Huan was almost eight months pregnant, she felt the time was right, so she was pushed down by Concubine Ling's personal maid at a banquet. In full view of everyone, Ji Huan held her belly and screamed.

As for why it was Concubine Ling's maid and not Concubine Shu or anyone else's maid, it was just that she accidentally found out that the dementia drug was made by Concubine Ling.

Now that he has shown her “deep love”, Ji Huan must make sure she remembers it forever!

Ji Huan was immediately sent to the temporary delivery room, and then a day and a night later, she tried her best to "give birth" to the eighteenth prince.

During this period, she was diagnosed with dystocia by the imperial physicians many times and almost died in the delivery room. It can be said that her survival was simply a miracle, especially since her child also survived, although the diagnosis was that the child was weak and needed careful care.

At the same time, the imperial physician also said that after this difficult delivery, Jihuan would probably find it difficult to get pregnant again.

Qianlong said nothing about this.

Ji Huan gave birth to three sons and three daughters, all of whom survived. If she couldn't have children, she couldn't have children. Many of his concubines in the harem had never given birth or had only one child.

After she gave birth, Qianlong also punished Concubine Ling.

To be honest, Qianlong didn't think that Concubine Ling would do such an obvious thing, but that's what happened. No matter how much they investigated, that palace maid was Concubine Ling's confidant.

After investigation, Qianlong began to suspect that Concubine Ling really had a brain injury and did it.

Thinking of Concubine Ling's children, Qianlong punished her by demoting her to a concubine and stripping her of her title. Now Concubine Ling has become Concubine Wei.

Concubine Wei, who was demoted and stripped of her title, was extremely angry when she learned of the result.

She couldn't understand why things had turned out like this.

She was the concubine who gave birth to the most children in the harem, but in the end, her appearance was ruined and her status became lower and lower. She could not accept such a gap.

Obviously, in her envisioned future, she should have a prosperous life, but who should she suspect? Her first reaction was Ji Huan, but she felt that it was wrong. After all, Ji Huan would never gamble with her own safety. It was unnecessary and not worth it.

Doubt and uneasiness are now filling Concubine Wei's heart.

On the other hand, after Jihuan gave birth, the imperial physician concluded that she needed to rest, and Qianlong compensated her with the title of Imperial Noble Consort.

The following year, Empress Nara died and her funeral was held with the rites for an imperial concubine.

Jihuan became the highest-ranking woman in the Forbidden City.

At the same time, Qianlong was no longer young.

Ji Huan's family seems to have developed very well in recent years. This mainly refers to the fact that her half-brother is quite promising. As for her original father, he and Liu tortured each other. Although he had some power, he did not look like a good person.

Ji Huan had met that father and stepmother Liu on important occasions. The fatigue in their eyes could not be concealed, and it seemed that they would not live many years longer. Ji Huan was very satisfied with Aunt Wang and her son.

Liu's own son became a timid playboy with no future, but he was not a heinous criminal. Liu was very disappointed with him.

Liu's daughter, the third sister who had spoken rudely to Ji Huan, was married back to her parents' home by Liu. She was the person the original owner married in the previous life. The couple tortured each other, and one died and the other was disabled.

Of course, Aunt Wang played an indispensable role in this.

Time flies, and soon ten years have passed.

A lot of things happened during these ten years. Qianlong's sons grew up and the conflicts between them gradually increased.

When Qianlong's body was drained by women, he belatedly realized that not many of his sons had become successful. Many of his previous sons had died, became disabled, or were adopted out.

The fifth prince, whom he most favored, died of illness in the thirty-first year.

Excluding the princes born to concubines, he realized that he did not have many sons who could inherit the throne. Compared with the Tenth Prince born to Concubine Shu, the Twelfth Prince born to Ji Huan obviously better met his requirements for a successor.

When he noticed that his health was getting worse, he began to test his son.

In the winter of the 42nd year of Qianlong's reign, there were cries of grief in the Old Summer Palace, and Qianlong passed away.

The imperial edict behind the plaque behind Ming Da Guangming has the name of the twelfth prince Yonglin written on it.

Jihuan presided over Qianlong's funeral despite his "weak" body. The transfer of imperial power went smoothly. It was obvious that Qianlong valued Yonglin during his lifetime.

After her son ascended the throne, Ji Huan began her "recuperation" life in the palace. In fact, she had been running around everywhere and had been trapped in the capital for most of her life. Now that she had become the empress dowager, she naturally had to travel around.

As for the remaining children, she left them all to the care of their older brother, Yonglin.

As for the future development of the Qing Dynasty, she did not ask.

The child-rearing system derived from the child-bearing system made Yonglin know more. The Qing Dynasty was destined to perish, and feudalism was destined to perish. What Yonglin could do was to decide how it would perish.

Jihuan was the empress dowager for more than fifty years. During this period, she saw the changes that Yonglin brought to the Qing Dynasty and was quite satisfied.

When she died, Yonglin was already walking with difficulty and had a head full of silver hair. He had been the emperor for many years.

The genetic medicine brought super longevity genes to her offspring.
