A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration

When the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she first had the two Fucha women confront each other.

The eldest prince was the eldest son born out of wedlock. Although he wasn't particularly intelligent, he was healthy. The second prince was the legitimate son. Although he was intelligent, he was not healthy.

Both have their own advantages. After all, the eldest prince is almost 10 years old now, and in a few more years, he will be able to get married. The second prince is two years younger than the eldest prince and is almost 8 years old.

Zhen Huan then sowed discord, dragging Su Luyun into the battle. Consort Zhe and the Empress were very hostile towards her, but fortunately, the Third Prince Yongjun was still young.

Yongjun was the name given to him by the Emperor. After all, the current Third Prince is a pair of twins, which is different from before. He is no longer the neglected Yongzhang.

The sixth princess still has the same name as in her previous life, Jingyan.

Su Luyun found the Empress Dowager rather annoying and suggested that she shift her focus. Although it was all just verbal provocation, did the two Fucha women have some kind of imaginary enemy?

They would verbally harass her for no reason, and she could tolerate it, but she made them fall flat on their faces in public.

Finally, the two Fucha women didn't want to appear in front of the concubines for the past month or two. However, Fucha Langhua was the Empress and had to pay her respects every day. When this happened, she changed the time for paying her respects to the tenth and fifth of each month, which made the concubines very happy.

Su Luyun hadn't expected such a miraculous effect. Although Fucha Langhua claimed that even the Empress Dowager didn't need to pay her respects every day, as the Empress, she certainly couldn't overstep the Empress Dowager's bounds.

As July arrived, news spread that Consort Yi was one month pregnant, and all the concubines in the harem turned their attention to her.

The Emperor was overjoyed to receive the news, as there had been no news for almost two years. He had even thought there was something wrong with his health and immediately ordered that she be promoted to the rank of Noble Lady Yi.

Not long after the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she recommended Lu Muping to the Emperor. The Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Changzai, the courtesy name Qing, and allowed her to move into Jingyang Palace.

The Emperor was not interested in Lu Muping; he only favored her a few times before forgetting about her.

The Emperor still favors Su Luyun the most, spending half the month staying at Zhongcui Palace. The next most favored are Jin Yuyan, Bai Ruiji, and Gao Xiyue.

The Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied with Zhang Mi. Gao Xiyue's health had been poor ever since she gave birth to the Third Princess Jingyue, but this did not prevent her from dying.

Gao Xiyue's health is very poor, but she has the will to live, which is to see the Third Princess get married. The Third Princess is only six years old now, and it will be at least ten more years before she can get married.

Although Zhang Mi's medical skills are the best on the surface, Gao Xiyue doesn't really trust him. Gao Xiyue has a female healer by her side, and she trusts her own people more. Moreover, the female healer has been by the Third Princess's side since birth and has a better understanding of the Third Princess's condition.

This is why the Empress Dowager's scheme against Gao Xiyue failed.

The Empress Dowager doesn't seem to have much hostility towards Qingying. Qingying currently has three princesses, but since they aren't princes, she poses little threat.

What surprised the Empress Dowager was Su's favoritism. The Emperor clearly preferred Su, and had completely forgotten about Qingying, with whom he had previously had feelings.

Jin Yuyan wanted to take action against Consort Yi, but her immediate priority was to get pregnant. Jin Yuyan started vying for the emperor's favor again, and Su Luyun's affection was snatched away.

The other concubines wanted to see Consort Mu and Consort Jia compete, but Consort Mu didn't make much of a move. She only asked Kexin to invite the Emperor over when Jin Yuyan was serving him.

Consort Yi's pregnancy progressed smoothly into the delivery period, while Bai Ruiji was diagnosed with a one-month pregnancy when Consort Yi was eight months pregnant.

Consort Yi gave birth to the Tenth Princess safely. The Emperor did not even visit Consort Yi, since he did not lack princesses at the moment. He simply instructed Consort Yi to raise the Tenth Princess.

The Emperor was very excited about Bai Ruiji's pregnancy, hoping she would conceive a prince. The Empress Dowager also secretly protected Bai Ruiji, because if she had a prince, she could support him to ascend the throne, and she would still be the powerful Empress Dowager.

Jin Yuyan was really anxious. One after another, she became pregnant, and she thought she had been pregnant herself. She asked Zhenshu to check the things in the main hall of Qixiang Palace. She was trying to win the emperor's favor while also taking care of her health.

In the fifth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, on the Double Ninth Festival, Bai Ruiji was heavily ill, and the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress granted her special permission not to attend.

Suddenly, a song was sung, and Lu Muping, dressed in a gorgeous cheongsam, came aboard the boat.

The Emperor knew that Lu Muping was the Empress Dowager's person and that she was only pretty. Out of respect for the Empress Dowager, he promoted Consort Jinqing to Noble Lady Qing.

Seeing the Emperor's expression, the Empress Dowager understood that the Emperor did not like Lu Muping very much.

But Lu Muping was just an appetizer; the Empress Dowager had prepared to introduce someone even more outstanding in appearance.

The Empress Dowager said, "At today's banquet, there is a woman who has long admired Your Majesty. She has prepared a song and dance performance. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The Emperor was somewhat chauvinistic to begin with, and with so many concubines, relatives, and ministers in front of him, he couldn't afford to lose face for the Empress Dowager, so he said, "Since you've already prepared songs and dances, then perform them well."

As she spoke, a beautiful woman stepped forward. Her hair was neatly and exquisitely styled, adorned with pearls and jade, making her appear even more noble.

Her voice was gentle and tender, her eyes fixed on the emperor's figure.

Su Luyun glanced at the Emperor's captivated expression and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

In recent years, Su Luyun has consciously begun to cultivate Han officials, after all, she is a Han woman, and she believes that many Han officials will support the Third Prince's ascension to the throne.

After the woman finished her dance, the Empress Dowager gestured for her to speak.

After bowing to the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress, the woman said, "Greetings to Your Majesty the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress. I am Yehenara Yihuan."

Unlike in his previous life, the Emperor did not discuss matters of love and romance with Yi Huan in public.

Upon hearing Yi Huan's surname, the banquet fell into a slight silence.

Jin Yuyan suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, although I am of the Yu clan, I have heard that the Yehenara clan was destroyed by the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Before his death, the leader of the Yehenara clan, Jin Taiji, was filled with grief and indignation and made a vow that even if only one woman remained in the Yehenara clan, he would still destroy the Aisin Gioro clan."

The Empress Dowager was in a bad mood. Wasn't Consort Jia trying to prevent Yi Huan from becoming a concubine by bringing up this matter?

The Empress Dowager couldn't let Consort Jia ruin things, so she said, "These things happened many years ago, and besides, the Yehenara clan has long since submitted to our Great Qing."

Upon hearing this, the emperor merely frowned, but he really didn't want to let such a beauty go.

Then, the Emperor laughed heartily and said, "You have made me very happy, so I will bestow upon you the title of Noble Lady and the honorary title of Shu!"

Su Luyun glanced at the concubines and sneered, "They're all award-winning actors and actresses."

Fucha Langhua wanted to appear happy, but the stiffness at the corners of her mouth betrayed her. After all, Yehenara was a true member of the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner, and her father was trusted by the emperor.

Unlike the Ulanara clan, which had no members in the previous dynasty, Fucha Zhuying was from the Fucha clan, but not from the same clan, and there were few members from the previous dynasty. Su Luyun was a Han Chinese, and there were no members from the previous dynasty.

When Qingying saw that the Emperor had accepted another woman, the light in her eyes dimmed. In the past few months, Qingying had listened to Hailan's advice and eased her relationship with the Emperor. The Emperor would also come to see the three princesses.

Jin Yuyan was also very worried. She hadn't even conceived a prince yet, and now another woman was coming. Wouldn't that mean the prince's favor would be divided up again?

The banquet left everyone feeling utterly bored and disinterested.
