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

Inside Chuxiu Palace.

Xin lay in bed, silently weeping. She had longed for this child for so long, always treating her with utmost care, but she never expected this...

"My lady, please don't be sad. Crying during your postpartum period can harm your health. Besides, you still have Princess Shuhe. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Princess Shuhe!" Liuyue comforted her.

When Consort Xin heard about Shuhe, she stopped crying. She couldn't be defeated like this. She was just a Consort and not favored by the Emperor. If Shuhe didn't have her mother, her life would become even more difficult.

The fact that Consort Xin miscarried did not cause a great stir. After all, Empress Dowager Uya and Ulanara had been in the harem for many years and could clean up the mess quickly. The Emperor could not find anything wrong with it. Moreover, the power of some of the concubines was not to be underestimated.

With many matters to attend to in the previous dynasty, the emperor could only quell the matter by releasing a group of palace maids out of the palace for the purpose of praying for blessings, and the matter was thus put to rest.

This Lunar New Year's Eve, Emperor Yongzheng had a very simple celebration. Only the women in the harem and some princes were invited to the palace to spend the New Year.

This marked the beginning of the first year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign. Not long after the New Year, Consort Cao went into premature labor and experienced a difficult delivery. She gave birth to a little princess, but unfortunately, the labor was too long and the little princess was not in good health. Consort Cao's health was compromised, and she might have difficulty conceiving in the future.

To compensate Consort Cao for giving birth to Princess Wenyi, the Emperor promoted her to the rank of Noble Lady and assigned Nian Shilan to raise Princess Wenyi.

However, Princess Wenyi was raised under Nian Shilan's name only, as she also needed to raise Princess Moyaqi. Moyaqi was already six years old, but her health was still poor, she was often sick, and she was thin and weak, not at all like a six-year-old child.

“You’re talking about Consort Cao, saying she’s optimistic about this pregnancy, but it turns out she’s not…” Nian Shilan didn’t finish her sentence, but Songzhi understood what Nian Shilan meant.

"Your Majesty, there are so many women in the harem, you'll surely get what you want!" Songzhi comforted her.

“Moreover, most of the princesses in the palace are assigned to support the Mongols. If Princess Wenyi were here, Princess Moyaqi would feel more at ease,” Songzhi said.

“His Majesty has promised me that he will not allow Moyaqi to marry into Mongolia, and Moyaqi’s health… no, after my brother performs meritorious service, he can petition His Majesty to allow Moyaqi to marry in the capital.” As she spoke, Nian Shilan was a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty dotes on you and Princess Moyaqi the most. Look at all the princesses in the palace, only Princess Moyaqi's name is in Manchu. Isn't this a testament to His Majesty's favor towards you?"

Nian Shilan and Songzhi talked for a while.

"Mother!" Moyaqi ran over.

"Slow down! My little darling!" Nian Shilan quickly composed herself, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

"Mother, Moyaqi had a good rest today." Moyaqi calmed her breath after jogging.

"Moyaqi is the best! Come on, Mother will take you to eat something delicious!" Nian Shilan said happily.

Having a child, Nian Shilan was no longer devoted to the Emperor. Because Moyaqi was often ill, she focused most of her attention on her daughter.

Nian Shilan's personality is only slightly better when she's with Mo Yaqi and the Emperor; she's a little better than the arrogant and domineering character in the story. However, she's still a sleeping tiger. If you think she's easy to bully, she'll definitely teach you a lesson.

Entering May, Su Yunyi was already a month pregnant. This time, she planned to give birth to triplets all at once, two boys and one girl.

Pregnant with triplets was a decision she made after careful consideration. Hongxi was very capable, and Yongzheng had high expectations for him. Hongxi was sure to ascend the throne, so he needed several younger brothers to help him. Otherwise, managing an entire dynasty by himself would be too exhausting, as seen in the case of Yongzheng in history.

Su Yunyi plans to reveal it at the right time.

Before Su Yunyi could announce her pregnancy, Consort Fang announced that she was about a month pregnant. After thinking about it, Su Yunyi also announced that she was a month pregnant.

Upon hearing this news, Yongzheng was overjoyed. The power of the Eighth Prince of the previous dynasty had been causing chaos, but the cement presented by Su Jiashi Su Ze, a product that benefits the country and its people, helped him stabilize a large part of the population.

Emperor Yongzheng promoted Su Ze to Minister of Works.

At this time, good news came from the harem, proving that he was in good health and still had the vigor he needed.

"Damn it, how did she get pregnant again?" Yixiu slammed her fist on the table. She was very wary of Su Yunyi, who had a son, a favorite concubine, and a family. She had always wanted to make a move on the Sixth Prince, but Qijing Courtyard was like an iron barrel, and now even the Prince's quarters were managed like an iron barrel, so she hadn't been able to achieve anything.

“Your Majesty, even if you get pregnant, you may not be able to give birth. It’s only been a month now, so you can plan carefully,” Jianqiu comforted her.

“Yes, even if you get pregnant, you might not be able to give birth. We can’t rush it. We have to take it slow. What’s wrong with Consort Fang?” Yi Xiu said fiercely.

“Jianqiu, you know what to do, right?” Yixiu said.

If you can't deal with the Su family, can't you at least deal with Consort Fang?

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will certainly not let you down again!" Jianqiu said firmly.

Upon learning of Consort Yi's pregnancy, the Empress Dowager summoned Yixiu.

"The Emperor still has too few children, and you should adopt one!" the Empress Dowager said earnestly.

"Empress Mother, I will not give the position of my legitimate son to any other child!" Yixiu said with dissatisfaction.

"I don't want to talk about these things, but as the Empress, you have a duty to do your job. It's already May, and the situation in the harem is..." The Empress Dowager rebuked her harshly.

The Empress Dowager didn't say it explicitly, but Yixiu understood what she meant. However, the thought of bringing in new concubines caused Yixiu great pain. The prince hadn't been hers before, and he wouldn't be hers now.

"The power of the Sujia clan should not be underestimated, and the Nian clan is no pushover either. As the Empress, you only need to sit in the central palace and let the others fight amongst themselves..." The Empress Dowager's tone was indifferent.

“Empress Mother!” Yixiu interrupted.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should rest early. I'll head back now!" Yixiu said coldly.

"Zhu Xi, tell me, for whom am I doing this?" the Empress Dowager said calmly.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, Her Majesty the Empress will understand!" Zhu Xi comforted her.

The next day, the Empress Dowager brought up the matter of selecting concubines with the Emperor. After some persuasion, the Emperor agreed to the selection, but for the sake of expenses, he asked the selected women to go home and be taught etiquette and other matters.

In late May, preparations for the imperial concubine selection were in full swing. This time, the Empress was in charge, with Consort Hua assisting. Unfortunately, Consort Hua had to take care of Princess Moyaqi and was not as attentive as in the drama.

With Moyaqi recently falling slightly ill, Consort Hua has become even less interested in the talent show.

Yixiu had thought that Consort Hua would take full control of the selection process, but she was surprised that Consort Hua suddenly relinquished the power of the selection. She was a little unaccustomed to it.

“Jianqiu, you said having a child makes all the difference…” Yixiu said sadly.

"Your Majesty..." Jianqiu wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to start. Her Majesty was thinking of the eldest prince.

“Consort Yi is usually low-key, but with the Sixth Prince around, the Emperor always thinks of her; Consort Jing has her eldest daughter, Princess Jingyue, and usually raises her children in her courtyard. Now that she's entered the palace, the Xianfu Palace is always filled with the sounds of children's laughter; Lian Nian Shilan is the same…”

"Only me, but I had a child back then too, it's all that bitch's fault!"

As she spoke, Yixiu's face turned ugly, and her tone became furious.

"This time, we must ensure that Consort Yi and Consort Fang's unborn children are safe..." Yixiu felt resentful at the thought of someone taking the place of the First Prince.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys!" Jianqiu said firmly and confidently.
