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

The Emperor glanced around and noticed that a few people seemed to be missing. Consort Yi was not present. Although Consort Yi had asked for leave, he still needed to make a token inquiry.

"Where is Consort Yi?"

"Consort Yi is pregnant with twins and her body is heavy, so she asked me for leave. I feel sorry for her and have granted her permission not to attend the palace banquet," Yi Xiu said gently. Those present were not only concubines of the harem, but also many princes and ministers. As the empress, she naturally could not embarrass the emperor.

"What about Consort Wan?" The Emperor casually replied, then, thinking of the face that resembled Chun Yuan's, he asked Yi Xiu.

Yixiu's smile was almost impossible to maintain, and she said gently, "Consort Wan is still not well. I humbly grant Consort Wan permission to rest well and not attend the palace banquet."

When the Emperor saw the red plum blossoms on the table, he was reminded of the time he spent with Wanwan, and his heart ached: "Have the plum blossoms in Yimei Garden bloomed yet?"

"Blooming in the cold!" Yi Xiu said with a smile. No matter who you are, Nian Shilan or Su Yunyi, you are not worth mentioning in front of your sister.

"Su Peisheng, I'm going for a walk in Yimei Garden. Don't come with me," the Emperor said.

When Yixiu saw that the Emperor did not want his servants to follow, she quickly told Prince Guo to follow behind.

Meanwhile, in the west wing of Suiyu Pavilion, palace maids and eunuchs were all inside, cutting paper snowflakes and playing with paper snowflakes to celebrate New Year's Eve.

Xiao Yunzi held up a small portrait of Zhen Huan and said to her, "Your Highness, look!"

Zhen Huan took the portrait: "Xiao Yunzi, you have such skillful hands."

“Yes, my lady, she really looks like you,” Liuzhu said with a smile.

Suddenly a palace maid said, "I heard that if you hang the portrait on a plum tree and make a wish, it will come true."

Later, another palace maid echoed this, saying that there was such a custom in the palace.

Zhen Huan, being a seventeen-year-old girl, wanted to try it out upon hearing this, and eagerly asked, "Where are there plum blossom trees? Why don't we hang the portrait on a plum blossom tree and make a wish..."

Everyone echoed their agreement.

“Speaking of plum blossoms, the plum blossoms in the Plum Garden in the inner palace are truly beautiful,” said Xiao Yunzi.

"Then I'm going to Yimei Garden, and you're not allowed to follow me!" Zhen Huan happily got up.

[Unexpectedly, even without Jinxi, Zhen Huan still goes to Yimei Garden.]

[Of course, this is where the male and female leads first met, so it's generally difficult to disrupt.]

[Furthermore, this is a fictional world, and the laws of nature in this world are still immature, allowing the plot to unfold naturally. The palace maid who mentioned the Plum Blossom Garden is one of the Empress's people.]

[Fine, as long as it doesn't affect my mission, it's fine. Having the male and female leads have a love-hate relationship isn't bad either.]

Su Yunyi did not attend the palace banquet because of her pregnancy, but how could she miss such an exciting plot? Naturally, she activated the system's monitoring.

Originally, my mother planned to go to the palace to accompany me during childbirth, but unfortunately, the timing wasn't right. On New Year's Eve, there were many things to do at home, so my mother didn't go to the palace. However, my mother had already prepared the necessary personnel. The midwife and wet nurse were all loyal people, and their families were under the control of the Su family, so they weren't afraid of being threatened.

"How is Hongxi?" Su Yunyi asked.

"Don't worry, the Sixth Prince has people around him, and the Third Prince will also take care of him," Banlan said.

“The Third Prince is a gentle person,” Su Yunyi said with a sigh. Thinking about the Third Prince’s fate, Su Yunyi felt that if the Third Prince had not fought for power, she could have helped him in the future.

Because of her pregnancy, Su Yunyi did not stay up to celebrate the New Year and went to bed early.

When I woke up the next day, I heard that the Emperor had appointed a young palace maid from Yimei Garden as an official lady. This must be Consort Yu.

Unexpectedly, the plot took a turn and returned to its original track.

I just finished my third year of junior high school.

In the middle of the night, Su Yunyi felt a sharp pain. After realizing what was happening, she called Banlan and told her that she was about to give birth.

Banqing helped Su Yunyi into the delivery room. The others, as they had rehearsed before, soon got busy. Some went to call the Emperor, some went to boil water, and some went to fetch the imperial physician...

Although Su Yunyi had given birth before, she was unwilling to endure the pain again, so she quickly asked the system to administer the medicine.

In less than an hour, the Emperor arrived, along with all the women of the harem.

"How is Consort Yi?" the Emperor asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, Consort Yi has just started labor." Zhao Shun, who was outside, quickly bowed.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the delivery room, and Banlan led the midwife out.

Banlan immediately knelt down and cried out, "Your Majesty, you must do justice for our Empress! This midwife had a foul odor, and the health-preserving soup was found to be laced with drugs. It was because the Empress mistakenly ate the laced health-preserving soup that she suddenly went into premature labor."

There was no such thing as accidental ingestion; it was just one of Su Yunyi's schemes.

"It's all my fault. I was negligent in managing things, which led to this incident. Please, Your Majesty, give me a chance to make amends." Yixiu quickly knelt down to beg for forgiveness, and Nian Shilan, who was standing to the side, also knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Get to the bottom of this! Su Peisheng, you go and handle this personally." The Emperor grew increasingly frightened at the thought that the problem stemmed from food. If someone could poison a concubine, could they also poison him?

Seeing the emperor's fury, the people around him immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

Silence fell, then cries of pain echoed from the delivery room. The midwife's voice and the Empress's voice came through, followed by a series of sobs.

"It's born! It's born! Your Majesty, push harder! There's one more!"

At that moment, a ray of light appeared in the sky, and the sun rose. The emperor squinted and looked into the distance.

After the triplets were born, the midwife tidied up the little ones and carried them outside, breaking the heavy atmosphere outside.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Consort Yi has given birth to triplets: two princes and a princess."

"Really, it's an auspicious sign! Bring it here for me to see!" The Emperor was overjoyed.

"Where is the imperial physician? Come quickly and take a look!"

"Your Majesty, the young princes and princesses are all in good health." The imperial physician quickly took their pulses.

"Good, good, good, just like their brothers, they are all healthy." The Emperor said "good" three times in delight.

"Oh no! Her Majesty has suffered a hemorrhage! Quickly, call the imperial physician!" Banlan's sorrowful voice rang out.

The imperial physician immediately went in to diagnose the patient.

A quarter of an hour passed.

The imperial physician knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty suffered a hemorrhage and may not be able to have children again. In addition, she is usually weak."

The Emperor idly twirled the eighteen beads, recalling his interactions with Consort Yi, and comparing Su Jia's obedience with Nian's arrogance. He made up his mind: "Consort Yi has rendered meritorious service in giving birth. She shall be promoted to Imperial Noble Consort Yi. The investiture ceremony shall be held at the same time as the full moon celebration of the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Fifth Princess. The Seventh Prince shall be named Hongyan, the Eighth Prince Hongyu, and the Fifth Princess Yaliqi."

Sure enough, upon hearing the Emperor's voice, Yixiu and Nian Shilan's expressions turned sour, while the others silently lowered their heads.

"Let Consort Yi rest well, you may all leave." The Emperor rushed back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation because he still had matters to attend to. The main issue was that his concubine had been drugged by the Imperial Kitchen, and he needed to investigate thoroughly.
