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

In late June, the young women arrived at the Forbidden City from all over the country, and the selection process officially began.

Just like in the story, a total of seven young women entered the palace.

I also heard that a young lady at the imperial concubine selection process greatly pleased the emperor.

Su Yunyi wasn't surprised to hear the news. It meant the female lead was about to make her appearance, and she was already prepared. Although in the world of TV dramas, facing the female lead head-on could easily lead to the female lead's halo and other people's idiocy.

Therefore, Su Yunyi does not intend to confront the female lead. As long as it is kept within a certain range, changing the time and place where the male and female leads meet will have a different effect.

And now that I'm pregnant, let others take my place first.

Previously, Consort Fang went for a walk in the Imperial Garden and encountered Nian Shilan. The two argued for a while, and Consort Fang was pushed, which caused her to miscarry.

It seems that after entering the inner palace, Yixiu has become even more unscrupulous. Is it because she has the Empress Dowager as her backer?

The Empress Dowager is also a hypocritical woman. For the sake of so-called family honor, and not just the Uya clan, but simply because of Lian Zong, she can coldly and ruthlessly watch Yi Xiu harm her own grandson.

Later, Consort Fang relentlessly accused Nian Shilan of being at fault. The Emperor investigated and found that it was the Dowager Consort in the harem who had done it (but the Empress Dowager had cleaned up the mess). Unable to tolerate it any longer, the Emperor banished Consort Fang to the Cold Palace, and the matter came to an end.

With Su Yunyi being the only pregnant woman left in the harem, she focused all her energy on Hongxi and her own pregnancy.

Among the newly selected ladies-in-waiting was Fucha Peiyun, a direct descendant of the Fucha clan, a branch of the Manchu Plain White Banner, who moved into Yanxi Palace.

Nobleman Bolt, who was born into the Bordered Red Banner of the Mongol Army, moved into Zhongcui Palace.

Consort Shen Meizhuang, who was born into the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Han Army, moved into Xianfu Palace.

Fang Changzai Fang Jiachunyi, born into the Manchu Plain Blue Banner, moved into Suiyuxuan.

Zhen Huan, a maidservant from the Plain Blue Banner of the Han Army, moved into the Suiyu Pavilion.

Xia Dongchun, a member of the Han Chinese Banner Bordered Red Banner, moved into Yanxi Palace.

An Lingrong, a concubine from the Bordered Blue Banner of the Han Army, moved into Yanxi Palace.

(The above is all made up by the author; I don't know what flags they are.)

Originally, when allocating palaces, Yixiu wanted to arrange for Consort Wan to live in Su Yunyi's Chengqian Palace. Unfortunately, Su Yunyi had already said that she was pregnant and wanted to be quiet. The Emperor promised that no one would enter Chengqian Palace. Yixiu had no choice but to let Zhen Huan live in Xianfu Palace, where she would live with her good friend Consort Shen. It is believed that there will be a lot of drama in the sisters' competition.

Later, Nian Shilan heard that a young lady had pleased the emperor greatly during the imperial selection process and was even granted a unique title. So, he sent her to Suiyu Pavilion and had Consort Fang accompany her.

Her love for the emperor had only diminished, not disappeared. Nian Shilan harbored resentment towards every woman the emperor favored.

On September 15th, under a bright sun, all the young women of this batch entered the palace. The Manchu and Mongol banner women had entered the palace three days earlier, and today it was the Han banner women who entered.

"Banlan, pick out some things that are hard to tamper with, and go with Jinbao to distribute them according to their rank," Su Yunyi said calmly.

"Yes, Princess!" Banlan nodded, bowed, and left.

"Is Your Highness worried about the arrival of a new concubine?" Aunt Fanghe comforted her.

"Your Majesty need not worry. As long as you have the Sixth Prince, the Emperor will not forget you. Besides, you are pregnant now, so don't overthink it. It's important to focus on taking good care of your health," Fanghe continued.

"Don't worry." Actually, Su Yunyi wasn't worried about this issue. She was actually hoping that the women in the palace would cause trouble. In the past few months, Yixiu and the Empress Dowager had been interfering in Chengqian Palace and the Prince's Residence. Fortunately, she had the system keep an eye on things, so there weren't any major problems.

Were women in ancient times all so idle? Otherwise, where would they find the energy to come up with such harmful tricks?

When Su Yunyi was five months pregnant, Physician Chen diagnosed her with twins. Physician Chen was Su Yunyi's man and his medical skills were not bad either, similar to Wen Shichu's. So he made Physician Chen reveal that she was pregnant with twins, but in fact, he diagnosed her with multiple pregnancies.

After the news of the twins broke, the emperor ordered her to stay in the palace and rest, and not to pay her respects for the time being, since her belly was five months pregnant with twins, and she looked like she was about to give birth.

This led to constant underhanded dealings within the palace. She was eager to bring in some new women to muddy the waters of the harem, allowing her to fish in troubled waters.

Not long after, Banlan and Jinbao returned.

Jinbao, quick-witted, spoke first: "Consort Wan lives in the main hall, and the number of consorts is not right. It seems that the head aunt of Suiyu Pavilion is at Consort Wan's beck and call."

Su Yunyi nodded lightly. This must be the protagonist's halo. She heard that neither Yixiu nor Nian Shilan's people noticed anything wrong, but only her people escaped the protagonist's halo.

"Xia Changzai was arrogant and domineering. In front of Consort Hua's head eunuch, Eunuch Zhou, she belittled Consort Hua and flattered the Empress."

"However, Consort Wan is indeed beautiful and charming, no wonder she is the only one with a title who entered the palace this time," Banlan added.

"Yes, I understand. Banlan, come here. You need to secretly tell Consort Hua about this." Su Yunyi was preparing to do something big.

Watching Banlan prepare to leave.

"Wait, don't reveal it yet. Tell Consort Hua immediately when they pay their respects to the Empress in three days," Su Yunyi pondered.

"Yes, ma'am."

Three days later.

As arranged by Jianqiu, Guan Changzai and Shen Guiren were placed in the first row.

After most of the people had arrived, Yixiu came out of the inner room.

"My dear sisters, are you getting used to life in the palace?" Yixiu asked gently, glancing at the positions of Consort Yi and Consort Hua, who were still not there.

Consort Yi could understand, since the Emperor had already excused her from paying her respects. However, she hadn't expected her to be so pregnant, revealing that she was carrying twins. Thinking of this, her eyes darkened.

Consort Hua doesn't take me seriously at all.

"Thanks to Her Majesty the Empress's care, everything is well!" everyone said in unison.

Before Yixiu could get them up, a lazy voice came from outside.

"I'm not late, am I?" It seems like a question, but it's actually a statement of fact.

Nian Shilan walked in from outside, went to her seat, and rolled her eyes when she saw that Su Shi was still not there in the seat to her left.

He gave Yi Xiu a perfunctory bow, and before Yi Xiu could speak, he sat down in the first chair on the right.

"Sisters, rise!" Yixiu said, looking at the newlyweds who were still bowing.

As soon as she sat down, Consort Qi across from her retorted, "Consort Hua, you've arrived so late. Could it be that Princess Moyaqi is unwell again?"

"Consort Qi, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. You should pay more attention to the Third Prince. Otherwise, it's embarrassing to admit that he can't even recite as well as the Sixth Prince." Consort Hua retorted, as she hated it when people used Mo Yaqi's body as a topic of conversation.

"I stayed up late last night while the Emperor was reviewing memorials, so I woke up late," Consort Hua said sarcastically to Consort Qi before turning her ire towards the Empress.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be angry, right?" After showing off the Emperor's favor to the new concubine, she then pretended to apologize.

Yixiu said it was alright and continued with the previous etiquette.

"A few months ago, Consort Yi became pregnant. I was considerate of Consort Yi and discussed with the Emperor that Consort Yi would be exempted from paying her respects. She can see me when she has the opportunity." Before the new concubines paid their respects to Consort Hua, Yi Xiu mentioned Consort Yi's situation, with the aim of stirring up Consort Hua's dissatisfaction with Consort Yi.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Nian Shilan rolled her eyes.

Next, when paying respects to Nian Shilan, Nian Shilan planned to give the newcomer a hard time by ignoring her.

“The jadeite that the palace sent to me this year is somewhat superficial and not translucent,” Nian Shilan said directly to Yixiu.

“My sister is too young to need jade.” Yi Xiu knew Nian Shilan’s little scheme.

"Or we can give it to Her Majesty the Empress!"

"I already have a pair of pearl earrings. Adding these jade earrings would be a bit extravagant," Yixiu said sarcastically, using the pearls as a metaphor.

"Alright, let's get the younger sisters up!" Yi Xiu was good at showing off her virtuousness in front of the newcomers.

"Oh dear, you were so busy talking to the Empress that you forgot your sisters are still bowing. Get up!" Nian Shilan said, touching her earrings.
