The Bewitching Master of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 159: Shunzhi's Deposed Empress Mengguqing 11

Xue Li looked at the wine and then at Shunzhi, smiling in an intriguing way.

When Shunzhi saw this look, he seemed to think of their wedding night, and the many nights when he was bullied by her...

Thinking of this, Shunzhi felt both ashamed and angry.

Before I could finish my recollection, I fainted.

So, Shunzhi was stripped naked by Meiren and thrown to the ground.

Xue Li let Mei Ren help her take a bath, and then returned to the bedroom. Mei Ren held a new wine jar and drank wine from the cup with Xue Li. Xue Li smiled mischievously.

So, Xueli began to enjoy her meal.

Xueli sobbed softly, her eyes sparkling with tears, and Meiren's pair of peach blossom eyes were gentle and charming, making people fall deeper and deeper.

Meiren held the back of Xueli's head with one hand, kissed Xueli's lips, and then ruthlessly attacked her inch by inch, as if he wanted to crush her in his body.

In the enclosed space, Xueli moaned wildly, and Meiren glanced at Shunzhi on the ground, feeling extremely excited.

The two of them made a fool of themselves all night. Meiren wiped Xueli carefully and rearranged the scene.

Xue Li still slept until noon. She asked the concubines to pay their respects every ten days, so it would not affect her from staying in bed every day.

Perhaps because of the medicine, Shunzhi woke up later than usual. When he woke up, he found himself sleeping on the couch. He just thought that he didn't want to share a bed with the queen.

So it adapts well.

Three months later, Sydney announced that she was pregnant.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, while Shunzhi was a little bit unbelievable.

I looked at Xue Li with a complicated expression many times.

Some people appeared around Xue Li, including the Empress Dowager, Guo Ren, and Dorgon.

Dorgon contacted Xue Li to find a good husband for Dong'e.

Xue Li tried to deceive him, "Why don't you recruit a son-in-law? Is your honor enough to protect her? A son-in-law doesn't have to be extremely capable, as long as he loves Dong'e and listens to her. After all, you will get old one day! He may not be able to tolerate someone like you!"

Dorgon had previously thought it was a joke that Xue Li asked Dong'e to marry a man.

But after exchanging messages over the past few years, he actually felt that finding a son-in-law was not a bad idea.

Why should his daughter, a beautiful girl, suffer such grievances?

He has made outstanding contributions, so why does he need to marry his only daughter to his wife?

After all, those who wanted to marry him were either from humble families or had little financial resources.

People with some background either remain neutral or stay away.

Yes, those old foxes were just waiting for him to die!

He also understood that he and the emperor had fallen out. Who knew how the emperor's son would retaliate against him after he was gone?

Duoduo could have taken care of them a little, but the accident that happened to the two brothers made him realize that he had to keep some things in reserve.

The Queen is pretty good.

He was well-informed, and Bumbutai was reluctant to give up her palace power, which she used to control the empress just as she controlled the emperor.

The difference is that in the previous dynasty, he made outstanding contributions in the early period, and in the later period he did it to avoid becoming a prey.

But the queen was Bumbutai's niece. It was only in recent years that he saw clearly the hardness and power-hungry nature beneath that beautiful face.

What surprised him was the queen.

He initially thought that she was being suppressed by the Queen Mother and was powerless.

But after observing her for several years, I found that the queen is really calm.

She even dared to say that as long as he was alive, she would remain in power.

At this moment, he had to admire the women of the Borjigit tribe of Khorchin.

The men are ordinary, but the women are more amazing than each other.

He was somewhat relieved. He hoped that the queen would give birth to a boy. If he supported the mother and son, his brothers and daughters would be safe.

After all, Bumbutai and her son have stretched their claws too far!

And he didn't mind giving her a big gift on the day he left.

He had no grudge against the Queen, and even had a good personal relationship with Wu Keshan.

But it’s different for Bumbutai and her son. They not only care about the power in his hands, but also his life!

In the 12th year of Shunzhi (1655), the first selection of concubines began in the palace.

The Tang family, the Niu family, the Muktu family, the later Concubine Ke Shi family, and the later Concubine Ning Que Dong E family are all on the list.

Because Sydney is pregnant.

The Empress Dowager did not interfere much, and Shunzhi selected more than twenty Han women who were as gentle as water and as weak as willows in the wind.

After being half-rejected by the Empress Dowager, Shunzhi was so angry that he took it out on the newcomer to the palace, Borjigit Boyongkho.

He also promised several Han women high positions.

The Queen Mother wanted Xue Li to come out and criticize her, but Xue Li refused on the grounds that pregnancy was difficult.

The relationship between Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager became increasingly strained.

Xueli also asked Meiren to arrange people to secretly add fuel to the fire.

I don’t know how it was arranged, but Shunzhi hit the Empress Dowager’s sore spot exactly.

Even when the imperial study was in the palace, the sisters would serve together...

Once, the empress dowager was so angry that she fainted. She heard the rumor inside and outside the palace that Shunzhi was committing adultery in the place where the emperor handled government affairs. She was so angry that she fainted. After waking up, she immediately ordered the concubine who had seduced the emperor to be beaten to death.

And the concubine was just diagnosed with pregnancy this afternoon.

Shunzhi also fainted from anger.

The relationship between mother and son also reached freezing point.

Xue Li is really sitting on the Diaoyutai at the moment. After all, she is not in charge of the palace affairs. Isn't it normal that her fetus is unstable due to the stimulation of the emperor?

Xueli let Meiren coax her and hold her gently, not caring how angry the mother and son were.

The Queen Mother was angry but helpless; it was impossible for her to apologize to her son often.

Usually, some beautiful young palace maids would be sent, or Su Mala would go on the journey for her to ease the embarrassment between mother and child.

Shunzhi showed more concern for the Empress Dowager and visited her again, which resolved the conflict.

But this time, the mother and son were in a cold war for more than half a year.

The key is that Dorgon was also very stable and disappeared when this incident broke out.

As a result, the mother and son firstly did not take Xue Li seriously, and secondly, they thought that the Regent was in poor health.

So the struggle between mother and son was exposed.

In February of the 13th year of Shunzhi (1656), Xueli went into labor and gave birth to a son.

The medicine and people were delivered to the Queen Mother's people by Xue Li.

After all, no matter what, the Queen Mother still hoped that she could give birth to a prince of Mongolian blood.

How can we allow others to destroy it?

But the confessions of those people made Bumbutai so happy and angry that she fainted.

Shunzhi was still copying scriptures constantly.

He didn't know whether to pray for less sin in his heart, or to pray for a blessing for the child if it came true.

When he received the news that his eldest son was born, he felt both happy and complicated.

Before he could hesitate for long, news came that several servants had been captured by the Queen Mother.

Shunzhi was a little flustered for a moment, as he had complicated feelings towards his mother.

There is respect, closeness, resistance, resentment, and of course, fear.

Shunzhi kept convincing himself that his mother had caused him to lose a child, so it was understandable that he disliked this half-Mongolian prince.

But soon, news came that the Queen Mother had fainted.

Shunzhi hesitated for a while and finally went to the Cining Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted with a big slap in the face.

Shunzhi was feeling somewhat guilty at first, and for a moment he sneered.

He glanced coldly at the Queen Mother and strode away.
