Chapter 169 Kangxi Pingfei Hesheli 1
The original owner was Kangxi's concubine Hesheli, a member of the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner and the granddaughter of the regent Gongsoni.
The daughter of Gong Gabula, the Minister of State Affairs and the Grand Minister of the Imperial Guard, and the half-sister of Empress Xiaocheng.
In the 13th year of Kangxi's reign, when Empress Xiaocheng died, the original owner was only 4 years old.
Kangxi had a deep relationship with his first wife, Hesheli. He was extremely saddened by the queen's passing and held a grand funeral for her.
The following year, Kangxi decided to appoint Yinreng, the son of Hesheli, as the crown prince, thus breaking the ancestral tradition of not appointing a crown prince since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, Kangxi continued to promote Hesheli's uncle Soetu, appointing him as the Grand Secretary of Baohe Hall, which could be said to be the highest position among ministers.
However, there is no aristocratic family that does not want to establish a flag in the harem.
For example, the sisters of Empress Xiaozhao and Empress Xiaoyi later entered the palace.
There must always be someone standing in front of the emperor, whispering in his ears from time to time. Even if that cannot be done, it is at least necessary to make the emperor remember his old friends and thus benefit the mother's family.
They also need to develop the power of their respective families in the harem.
At this time, the Hesheli family re-established their presence in the Qing harem, and later became Concubine Ping.
Speaking of which, there were five pairs of sisters in Kangxi's harem.
Compared with other noble families, the original owner was the one who had the worst life among the sisters-in-law.
Empress Xiaozhao's sister, Noble Consort Wenxi, once led the Qing imperial harem for five years and became the only noble concubine in the Qing Dynasty to enjoy a posthumous title.
Empress Xiaoyi's younger sister, Imperial Noble Consort Hui, led the Qing harem for 22 years. She was also named a noble concubine by Emperor Kangxi and was further honored as an imperial noble concubine for raising the emperor's grandson Hongli (Emperor Qianlong).
Compared with these two people, Concubine Ping, the sister of Kangxi's original wife, was much worse.
After all, Concubine Wenxi was the legitimate daughter of the family and must have been carefully educated.
Although the later Imperial Noble Consort Hui was a concubine's daughter, she had already passed the age for selection when she entered the palace and had been immersed in the backyard for many years.
There was only the original owner, a concubine's daughter in the family. Since she was 4 years old and Empress Xiaocheng passed away, her family had already planned to send another daughter into the palace.
It’s just that, apart from the side branches, there are no daughters of the right age.
The family's attention was on the little original owner.
She was placed in the care of her stepmother to be raised.
As a woman in the harem, the stepmother certainly understands how to cultivate a person, and she also understands how to destroy a person.
The original owner was watched by the strict Nanny Wang every day. If she walked too fast, she would be punished with a stick; if she ate too much, she would be punished with a stick; if she laughed out her teeth, she would be punished with a stick... Nanny made her feel as if she was a heinous criminal because of her jumping around.
In just ten days, the originally lively and cheerful little girl became silent and taciturn.
She understood one thing: speak less and make fewer mistakes.
The once cute little girl seemed to have lost her soul in an instant.
After finally getting a day of rest, she went to her biological mother's yard.
Because she was raised by her stepmother, her biological mother's treatment was improved, and she looked radiant.
It was in stark contrast to her.
When she saw her mother, her eyes turned red and she seemed to be hesitant to speak. Before she had the chance to complain about her grievances, she was interrupted by Nanny Wang who was staring at her.
"Alas, I should have been enjoying my old age. Mrs. Fu asked me to teach the Second Miss well, but the Second Miss is a little too spoiled. I hope Madam can give her more advice!"
The little girl felt as if she fell into an ice cellar.
She didn't know what was wrong, she only knew that she envied the little bird in the sky.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Nanny Wang!" The biological mother smiled a little flatteringly and quietly handed over a purse.
Two women compliment each other, you say she has worked hard and made great contributions, she says she has a bright future...
They were both very happy with each other. When Nanny Wang left, she glanced at her with disdain, and the little girl took a step back timidly.
When the servants left, her biological mother pinched her and began to talk about how good the concubine was and how good she was to her...
Her biological mother would also give her many reminders, saying that it is beneficial for her to be with her stepmother.
In the future, she can become a concubine and win the master's favor.
The original owner's last hope was gone.
Be a well-behaved lady from aristocratic family.
Her stepmother asked her to listen to her, and she listened.
Her stepmother told her to put family first in everything, and she agreed.
Her stepmother asked her to mention Empress Xiaocheng and the Crown Prince more often in front of the Emperor in the future, and she agreed.
Her stepmother asked her to follow the prince's lead in everything, and she nodded and took note of it.
The maids and nannies around her often reminded her that she was in this situation because of her elder sister and stepmother.
She became a well-behaved and dignified lady from a noble family, and the elders in her family were very satisfied with her.
No one cared about what she was thinking behind her fake smile. Not her father, nor her biological mother.
"Until I died, I thought it was my fate!"
"I was actually so tired, I was actually happy when I left!"
"I finally don't have to be told what to do by a few maids and old women. Will you ask me why I, the head of a palace, have to do this? Behind them is my stepmother. I dare not."
"Hahaha~ You know, the year I entered the palace, I even thought it was not bad. Even if I was a caged bird in the Forbidden City for the rest of my life, it was better than my life as a puppet. But I took it for granted. Before entering the palace, my stepmother threatened me with my mother's safety. If I dared to go against her wishes, my mother would die silently in the backyard."
"I struggled, but it was like I was stuck in a swamp and I couldn't get out."
"Later, my mother became my concubine, and I had a child. I thought that my life was complete!"
"But if my child can't survive, I can't survive either."
"I know, but for my mother and my family, I can only swallow the bitter fruit and can't say anything!"
"She actually thought that the emperor had transferred his affection to me because of this face. Ha~ I am suffering in my life!"
"The emperor misses his elder sister through my face, but he is tired of my rigidity and cannot face his desire for me."
"I have always been lonely! My parents are not kind and my husband doesn't love me. I am tired of it!"
"The person I owe the most in my life is my child!"
At this point, the pale-faced woman burst into tears.
"In fact, before you, someone asked me, what would I do if I could go back to the past?"
"Hahaha~ I thought about it, that is, everyone from the emperor to my family will go to hell with me!"
The woman who had seemed so fragile just now suddenly had madness in her eyes.
Truth either explodes in silence or perishes in silence.
"But he said, if that happens, I will destroy the whole world, and finally you will come!"
Xue Li thought about asking the system cat later, who that person was?
"It's up to you. Whether you live a good life or a bad life, that's not me! Whether you go crazy or just accept it, it's just walking the path I walked. What is there for me to miss? If I have to say something, it's that maybe the child can grow up safely! What I can't give, you give it. This is my wish! It can be considered that our fate as mother and child is fulfilled."
