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

Not long after Consort Shu began serving the Emperor, the Emperor bestowed upon her a medicine to prevent miscarriage. Consort Shu was so engrossed in the Emperor's sweet words that she had no suspicions whatsoever.

Not long after the Double Ninth Festival, Bai Ruiji went into premature labor. It was unclear who had done it. Bai Ruiji gave birth to a little princess, the eleventh princess. The emperor was quite disappointed, but considering that Bai Ruiji had already given birth to two princesses, he promoted her to Consort Mei.

Didn't it rain every day before the Double Ninth Festival in the previous dynasty? According to the original plan, Consort Xian's father was supposed to go to deal with the disaster, but he was swept away by the flood.

Su Luyun had her eye on this incident when the flood occurred, planning to use it as an opportunity to promote her people.

In her previous life, Consort Xian's father was entrusted with disaster relief, which meant he was trusted by the emperor. Pressure is also an opportunity. If he had seized this opportunity, Consort Xian's father would definitely have been promoted. Unfortunately, Consort Xian's father did not have the fortune or ability.

When the Emperor went to Yanxi Palace, A'ruo successfully rose to power by using a little aphrodisiac.

The Emperor later felt sorry for Consort Xian, so he simply bestowed the title of Lady on A'Ruo and arranged for her to stay in the rear hall of Yanxi Palace, and then he never thought of A'Ruo again.

The concubines began vying for the emperor's favor again. With the Empress Dowager's encouragement, the situation in the harem became extremely competitive. Previously, Consort Mu was more favored, while the other concubines received roughly the same amount of attention. Sometimes, they would not even see the emperor for a whole year.

Now the Empress Dowager supports Bai Ruiji on the left and Yehenara clan on the right, and also keeps an eye on Lu Muping from time to time, hoping that one of them can conceive a prince. Of course, the Empress Dowager would never show her face; she would only support them in secret.

Jin Yuyan tried even harder, but unfortunately, she didn't achieve much and was even robbed of much of her time for the emperor's bedchamber by Consort Shu.

Su Luyun's time for serving the emperor was significantly reduced, from more than ten days a month to just a few days. However, Su Luyun wasn't particularly disappointed. After all, in this day and age, was monogamy even possible? It was unlikely for ordinary people, let alone the emperor.

As long as the Emperor continues to visit Yongjun and Jingyan at Zhongcui Palace and cultivate his relationship with the children, Su Luyun doesn't care where the Emperor goes. After all, the Emperor probably only has a dozen or so years left to live, so let him enjoy those years.

In the sixth year of Qianlong's reign, when spring was still cold, the Second Prince fell ill again. He was usually prone to minor illnesses, but this time his symptoms were very serious. Although he eventually recovered, it was said that the Second Prince's health was completely ruined, and there were even rumors that his health would be detrimental to his ability to have children.

Fucha Langhua felt like the sky had fallen. Although the Second Prince was the legitimate son, his poor health made it impossible for him to ascend the throne.

Empress Fucha sent word that she should quickly give birth to a prince. The Empress was uneasy, thinking of the threat from the eldest prince in front and the pursuit of twins behind.

Consort Zhe was overjoyed upon receiving this news, as if the throne was already in her grasp. The Third Prince was too young to have started school yet, so what could he possibly know? The First Prince, on the other hand, had already grown up.

The Empress joined the competition for the Emperor's favor, making the rivalry in the harem even more intense.

The Emperor was very anxious about the Second Prince's health, but the deed was done. Knowing the Empress's actions and understanding that she wanted to have another child, the Emperor, who also had a preference for a legitimate son, increased his visits to Changchun Palace.

In March, in Zhongcui Palace, Su Luyun had the Imperial Household Department build a small amusement park for Yongjun and Jingyan, modeled after amusement parks of later generations. Through ingenious woodwork, the park captivated Yongjun and Jingyan.

Su Luyun sat with Chen Wanyin under the shade of a tree, with snacks and tea on the table.

Chen Wanyin looked at the Seventh Princess tenderly. The Seventh Princess loved the little playground in the courtyard and wanted to come and play with the Third Prince and the Sixth Princess every day.

Chen Wanyin was delighted that the Seventh Princess had a good relationship with the Third Prince and the Sixth Princess. After all, she was just a noblewoman and couldn't give the Seventh Princess much or protect her. The servants of the Imperial Household Department were all ambitious but incompetent. Without a backer, wouldn't it be easy for the servants to become superior to their masters?

Su Luyun was talking to Chen Wanyin when the Third Prince ran over and said loudly, "Mother, I want to eat pineapple cakes."

Su Luyun picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the Third Prince's face, saying gently, "You little rascal, look how sweaty you are from playing. The pastries are all here. You can eat them after you change your clothes."

After saying that, he looked at Keqing and ordered, "Quickly take the Third Prince, the Sixth Princess, and the Seventh Princess downstairs to change their clothes."

Chen Wanyin also asked Shunxin to take the Seventh Princess downstairs to change her clothes.

Chen Wanyin said, "Sister, the harem has been quite lively lately."

Su Luyun chuckled and said, "Yes, it's quite a lively scene, with 'Consort' on the left and 'Attendant' on the right. But none of this concerns us, since we are all old-timers in the manor."

Chen Wanyin said, "Sister should hurry up and have another little prince. After all, there are already three princes. Let's not talk about the eldest prince. The second prince is in poor health, which means that the second prince might support the eldest prince. After all, they both have the surname Fuca. The third prince is still young. If the third prince could have a brother to help him..."

Although Su Luyun had a good relationship with Chen Wanyin, she wasn't completely honest with her. She quickly scolded, "Noble Lady Wanyin, you can't say such things anymore. His Majesty is in his prime."

Chen Wanyin said, "I'm sorry, sister. I was just being paranoid. Let's just live our lives peacefully. But I'm only thinking of you. I'll only be better off if you're better off. The Emperor doesn't favor me much. I might only ever have a Seventh Princess in this lifetime."

Su Luyun didn't respond, but instead changed the subject, talking about recent events in the imperial harem.

Keqing walked over with the Third Prince, the Sixth Princess, and the Seventh Princess.

The Third Prince and the Sixth Princess obediently called out "Mother," which melted Su Luyun's heart. She kissed their little faces.

The Third Prince became embarrassed, while the Sixth Princess generously kissed Su Luyun.

Seventh Princess looked on with envy. When Chen Wanyin saw this, she hugged Seventh Princess and kissed her little face.

At night, Su Luyun first remembered that there was still a child to be born for the mission, but she could wait a while to get pregnant with one.

In May, news came from Changchun Palace that the Empress was one month pregnant. Su Luyun thought for a long time before remembering that she had once given Fucha Langhua a drug, but she thought that Fucha Langhua's health was not good and she would not be able to get pregnant again.

Using clues from the Imperial Household Department, Su Luyun learned that it was Lady Fucha who had someone bring in a prescription. Su Lian went out to buy the medicine and then brewed it in the small kitchen. She personally supervised the process each time and did not allow anyone else to approach.

Su Luyun guessed that this was a fertility-enhancing prescription, which might have serious side effects. She hadn't seen that just one month into her pregnancy, Physician Li from the Imperial Hospital sent word that the Empress's pulse was very bad.

Fucha Langhua took this pregnancy very seriously. In addition, she conceived using a remedy, which made her feel very unwell. She even stopped paying her respects to the emperor and distributed her power to Consort Hui, Consort Xian, and Consort Mu.

Su Luyun now has the right to manage, but she is lazy and doesn't really want to manage. So when the emperor came, she wanted to shirk her duties in the palace. The emperor disagreed, but gave her a nanny to assist Su Luyun in managing the harem.
