Chapter 125 Zhen Huan 1
Chapter 125 Zhen Huan 1
(Preface: Because the original owner of this world was Kangxi's beloved son and Yongzheng's beloved brother, he looked down on all those who despised the imperial power equally. Fans of the harem, regardless of which concubine, please skip this world. Thank you)
It was late at night when Jiuqi entered this world. With the experience of the last century, the first thing he thought of was to take a look at his physical condition and environment in this world.
After the soul separated from the original owner's body, it turned around and looked downwards. What appeared in front of Jiuqi was a baby who looked just one month old. Jiuqi sighed. How come the baby was getting smaller and smaller? Would he become an embryo in the next world?
But this is also good. It is better than trying to imitate others, trying to change slowly, and always worrying about whether you will be exposed.
After moving his gaze to take a look at the layout and decoration of the room, Jiu Qi looked at a young woman who was sitting on a couch not far away and sewing clothes. Judging from her clothes, she should be a wet nurse or nanny in a wealthy family.
After making sure that he was safe, Jiuqi returned to the baby's body and began to accept the memories of the original owner.
The original owner was named Aisin-Gioro Yinqi, who was born in early February of the fifty-seventh year of Emperor Kangxi's reign and was the twenty-third son of Emperor Kangxi.
My mother was an unfavored concubine of Emperor Kangxi. She was lucky enough to get favored once and became pregnant. She was not given the title of noble lady Chen.
(I originally wanted to make up a character, but I didn’t expect that this person actually existed in history. In the end, he was a prince during the Qianlong period and remained unknown throughout his life. Doesn’t this immediately meet my casting criteria?)
Because Kangxi had a son in his old age, he had some expectations for Concubine Chen's pregnancy at the beginning.
Especially when the imperial physician confirmed and reported to him that Concubine Chen was pregnant with twins, Kangxi was extremely pleased and gave her a stream of supplements, waiting for her to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, to show God's recognition of his dedication to the Qing Dynasty over the years.
Kangxi's attention made Chen Guiren overjoyed. Because of this attention, she gradually developed the ambition that as long as she gave birth, she would definitely become the queen, and might even pull down the four concubines and take the throne herself in the future.
Unfortunately, although Concubine Chen had ambitions, she lacked the ability. If the harem of Emperor Yongzheng killed people without shedding blood, then the harem of Emperor Kangxi could be said to be ruthless.
Especially now that it is Kangxi's later years, the high-ranking concubines in the harem can be said to be experienced. Even if they are not high-ranking concubines, there are many capable people.
Even so, these people still live their lives with extreme caution every day. They are not like Concubine Chen, who is so arrogant because she is pregnant with the dragon fetus.
And later it was diagnosed that she was having twins, which made her even more arrogant, acting like she was the boss and causing trouble everywhere every day.
This went on for a long time, and gradually even Kangxi was unwilling to visit her anymore. Even so, she still didn't know how to restrain herself, and was fantasizing about the beautiful dream that as long as she gave birth, she could become a concubine.
After being so arrogant for such a long time, Concubine Chen became a thorn in the eyes of everyone in the harem. Moreover, she had no tricks and did not know how to control her subordinates, so she was being tricked without realizing it.
It was not until she had a difficult labor and heavy bleeding on the day of delivery that she realized she had been tricked, but it was too late now.
So after she gave birth to two children with great difficulty, Concubine Chen didn't even have time to take a look at her two sons before she died of excessive blood loss.
The unlucky original owner and his poor twin brother were left behind, becoming a useless brother who was ignored and born weak.
Kangxi, who had previously had illusions about the twins and thought they were a pair of healthy twins, withdrew all his attention from Concubine Chen after learning that she had given birth to twins. He was extremely disappointed and casually ordered that the two children be placed in the care of the prince according to etiquette and no longer cared about them.
The two poor children lost their mother just after they were born and were disliked by their father. In this harem where people are judged based on their status, the lives of the two babies can be said to be walking on thin ice.
Fortunately, among their wet nurses, there was one, Ms. Liu, who was kind-hearted. Perhaps because her son died early and her husband died tragically, and she was alone, she actually took good care of the two brothers on a daily basis.
But even so, the original owner's twin brother Yinzhen died the day after being given a name by Kangxi just after his full month.
The original owner was diagnosed by the imperial physician as not living past the age of seven or eight. Although Kangxi was heartbroken upon hearing the news, he was only sad for a few days.
But after all, he was his blood, so Kangxi couldn't help but feel pity for him, so he instructed Liang Jiugong to add some useful people to the original owner's side, pay more attention to him when he was free, and also named the original owner Yinqi.
The word "Qi" means praying to God, and it can be regarded as one of the few fatherly loves and expectations that Kangxi had for the original owner.
I don’t know if it’s because of the name, or because of the care given by the people around him, but although the original owner was sickly, he grew up safely and is in good health.
Unfortunately, such good days did not last long. When the original owner was four years old, Kangxi passed away and Yongzheng ascended to the throne. Kangxi’s princes were imprisoned or punished, and less than ten of them retained their titles and were able to live well.
The adult brothers could leave the palace and build their own houses, but a young bald prince like the original owner could only stay awkwardly in the East and West Five Houses, waiting and hoping that he could grow up quickly so that he could be granted a title and build his own house and live freely.
To ask them why they wanted to leave the harem where they grew up, we have to start from the fact that Yongzheng was busy with government affairs and left all the princes of the previous emperor to the care of the empress.
Those who have watched "Legend of Zhen Huan" should know that the Queen Ulanara, who was the emperor's wife in the play, became mentally abnormal after losing the eldest prince Honghui.
In particular, she would not tolerate any child being born to occupy everything that belonged to her, Honghui. Logically speaking, these princes of the original owner had nothing to do with her. When it came to taking care of them, she was just ordering the servants to do so. To her, they should be separate from her.
But this Ulanara's psychology was inexplicably abnormal. Perhaps it was because she could not get the love of Yongzheng, or perhaps it was because she was put too much pressure by Concubine Hua Nian Shilan. Gradually, she became dissatisfied with killing Yongzheng's children, and began to extend her claws to the young sons of the previous emperor.
She was angry about why all the sons of the previous emperor were healthy, why they could grow up to be granted titles and enjoy wealth and glory. They were all illegitimate sons, so why could they live so well while her Honghui had to die in pain and at an early age?
The queen was resentful, so she secretly ordered her servants to treat them harshly. The other brothers were okay, after all, they still had their mother to rely on.
The original owner was pitiful. He was weak to begin with, and had been healthy only because of good care. But now he was treated harshly. He couldn't eat or sleep well. In less than three years, the original owner was tortured to death.
And what about Yongzheng, his biological brother? Haha, do you expect a man who can't even protect his own children to care about a younger brother who is in poor health and whom he has no impression of?
Stop joking. After Yongzheng learned about the original owner's affairs, he didn't even use the pen to review the memorials. He only ordered Su Peisheng to confer the title of Beile on the original owner, and buried him hastily using the excuse of an empty treasury.
The original owner should have been reincarnated after his death, but for some reason, his soul did not go to reincarnation, but became a ghost and was left in the world of the living.
