Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"I wondered who it was, but I didn't expect it to be Consort De's sister," Consort Shu said, but her attitude was not very affectionate as she gently patted Yin Yin's shoulder.

"Yinyin, go and pay your respects to Consort De."

Yinyin did as she was told and stepped forward to bow.

"No need for formalities," Consort De said gently, then looked at Yin Yin carefully for a moment before suddenly smiling and saying, "Miss Qi and Lady Qi look so alike."

Upon hearing this, Yin Yin raised her eyes with some curiosity.

Consort Shu raised an eyebrow and immediately said, "What are you saying, Consort De? Yin Yin is your own daughter, so it's only natural that she looks like you."

“What Consort Shu says is true,” said Consort De. “I was just thinking about how beautiful Lady Qi was back then, and I was a little emotional.”

"It's a pity that we only knew each other for a few short years before we never saw each other again."

Consort De sighed as she spoke: "Lady Qi doesn't seem like a particularly hard-working person, so why did she suddenly become so despondent?"

Whether Consort De's words were a genuine lament for Yin Yin's mother's passing or an attempt to stir up trouble, everyone present knew the answer.

Yin Yin pursed her lips, made a face as if she was about to cry, and took Consort Shu's hand.

Consort Shu stepped forward, blocking Yin Yin's way, and looked at Consort De with an unfriendly expression.

"Everyone says that Consort De is gentle, kind, and understanding, but in my opinion... His Majesty's bestowal of this title upon Consort De is truly fitting."

"Isn't His Majesty hoping that my sister will become a virtuous person?"

Yinyin hid behind Consort Shu and almost burst out laughing.

Why do we hope she will become a virtuous person? It's because she lacks it. She lacks moral character and doesn't cultivate good speech, so we're trying to give her virtue.

If we're talking about who knows how to scold, it has to be her aunt.

"Consort Shu, please don't speak nonsense," Consort De said, her face not looking too good. "According to Consort Shu, does that mean you are not virtuous enough?"

“Of course not,” said Consort Shu. “I am not the same as Consort De. His Majesty does not expect me to be a virtuous woman.”

"He only called me Consort Shu because he thought I was the rightful head of the four consorts."

These words angered Consort De even more than the Emperor's opinion that Consort Shu deserved the title "Shu".

After all, in terms of seniority, Consort De entered the palace earlier than Consort Shu, and their family backgrounds were similar. Consort De even considered herself to be more beautiful and favored than Consort Shu.

However, the emperor directly bestowed the title of Consort Shu upon Lady Qi, leaving her only the second-ranked Consort De.

Consort De knew that she was clearly better than Consort Shu in every way, but she could never win against her, all because Consort Shu had a good brother.

But now, even though Consort Shu's brother has been dead for several years, Consort Shu's favor with the emperor has gradually diminished.

Unexpectedly, a niece of Consort Shu suddenly appeared and gained great favor with the emperor, so much so that the emperor didn't even need to choose a concubine and directly led her to Yaoguang Palace.

Consort De was naturally unwilling to accept this.

However, being confined to the inner palace, she couldn't do many things and wouldn't consider putting herself in danger, so she could only act like this now, disgusting people.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Consort De failed to disgust Consort Shu and was instead disgusted by Consort Shu.

"Consort Shu is remarkably confident."

"Of course," Consort Shu laughed out loud, "If I didn't even have this much confidence, how could I hold onto my position as the head of the four consorts?"

It has to be said that Consort Shu understands things better. If it were Yin Yin, she wouldn't know what Consort De cares about most.

When Consort De took her leave with a dark face and returned to the palace, Consort Shu stood behind her and laughed without any restraint. Her silvery laughter carried far.

When Consort De was completely out of sight, Consort Shu stopped, gave a light snort, and gently tapped Yin Yin's forehead.

"Learn more from your aunt. If anyone talks nonsense to you in the future, just hit her where it hurts."

Yinyin nodded: "I will learn from my aunt!"

"Your Highness, a woman should be gentle and virtuous," the nanny said quickly, stepping forward. Then she added in a low voice, "We're still outside. Your Highness can teach Miss Yinyin slowly when we get back."

Consort Shu's eyes flickered for a moment, she cleared her throat, and took Yin Yin's hand: "Let's go, let's walk towards Taiye Pond again."

After completing this tour, Consort Shu remained in a good mood until she returned home.

Yin Yin thought to herself that she could really learn a lot from Consort Shu, since she had never heard of any Crown Princess who was known for her sharp tongue.

Upon returning to Yaoguang Palace, Consort Shu heard that the Emperor had already chosen her consort and that she would come to Yaoguang Palace later after finishing her official duties.

Yin Yin ignored these words as if they were nothing, but unexpectedly, Consort Shu picked her up and kissed her.

"Yinyin, you are truly your aunt's lucky star."

Yinyin was stunned by her kiss; her eyes widened like a frightened kitten.

"aunt?"

Consort Shu smiled and gently rubbed her little face: "Our Yinyin is so cute."

Yinyin quickly put on a smug look: "Yinyin is so cute, my grandparents and uncle all say so!"

"Now Auntie says the same thing!"

"Yes, yes, yes," Consort Shu felt her heart melt.

After playing for a while, Yinyin got a little hungry.

The emperor would be arriving in a little while, so Consort Shu ordered some refreshments to be brought over.

Yinyin had just eaten a piece of pea flour cake when she heard Consort Shu and the nanny talking quietly.

"It's a pity. If only Yinyin could have lived in the palace forever."

Consort Shu pulled the nanny aside and said, "Nanny, if I have a daughter in the future, do you think she can be as lovely as Yin Yin?"

The old woman glanced at her, her expression hesitant: "Your Highness, every child has a different temperament. It may be difficult for you to have a daughter like Miss Yinyin."

"You don't even know how to coax me," Consort Shu muttered, looking at Yin Yin eating small bites with a gentle expression. "It doesn't matter if you don't have any. A niece is still a girl, and Yin Yin is still part of my family."

The old woman agreed, saying, "They say aunts and nieces are very close. You and Miss Yinyin have some very similar little tricks. If someone who didn't know better saw you, they might think you were mother and daughter."

"I wouldn't dare," Yin Yin thought to herself.

At this moment, Consort Shu feels that she is of good use to her and that they are blood relatives, so she likes her especially. But when she can no longer use her in the future, will she still be like this?

Yinyin wasn't sure.

Yinyin was preoccupied with her thoughts, so she didn't slow down her eating pace. Before long, she finished the two pastries.

After drinking a few more sips of tea, Yin Yin stopped eating.

Just a small snack is fine; it wouldn't be good if it delayed your dinner.

Seeing that Yin Yin had finished eating, Consort Shu called Yin Yin over again and taught her how to make cat's cradle.

After playing a few times, Yin Yin had almost mastered it.

Consort Shu was praising her for being clever when the Emperor walked in from outside.

"What are you playing that makes you so happy?"
