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

After Liu Jingyao woke up, Granny Jiang came over and congratulated her: "Congratulations, Consort Qian! Congratulations, Consort Qian! His Majesty has promoted you to the rank of Consort. We will hold the investiture ceremony together when the little prince is one month old."

Xinyue said happily, "Your Majesty, the Emperor also said that he would move you to Yongshou Palace, which is the closest palace to Yangxin Hall."

Liu Jingyao said happily, "It's all thanks to the Emperor's grace; everyone will be given three months' salary."

Everyone quickly saluted and thanked him.

Liu Jingyao then thought of the young prince and asked, "Granny Jiang, where is the young prince?"

Granny Jiang replied, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry. The little prince has just woken up. I'll go check on him and have the wet nurse bring him over."

Before long, the wet nurse came over carrying the little prince. She looked at the little prince in the swaddling clothes. Because the little prince had not yet grown up, she could not call him the sixth prince. She could only call him little prince.

The survival rate of princes in the Qing Dynasty was not high, and they were generally not assigned to the age order or given names too early.

The little prince is so small, probably because he had a good pregnancy, he's chubby and cute. It's a pity he was just born, his little face is all red, like a little monkey.

Liu Jingyao looked at the little prince who hadn't even opened his eyes yet, and she couldn't help but like him. After all, he was the child she had carried for nine months and was looking forward to him growing up.

Because Liu Jingyao was in postpartum confinement, she couldn't take a bath and could only wipe herself with a towel and wash up briefly. Not long after, the baby boy started crying.

Granny Jiang quickly picked up the little prince and said to Liu Jingyao, "The little prince is hungry. I will take him away right away."

Liu Jingyao nodded and handed the little prince over to the wet nurses. The little prince had two wet nurses, one surnamed Wu and the other surnamed Zhou, both of whom were personally selected by Su Peisheng.

Since the system isn't around, I have to use the pills sparingly: five pregnancy pills, five pregnancy girl pills, ten pain relief pills, ten detoxification pills, ten health-boosting pills, ten intelligence-enhancing pills, one beauty pill, one skin-beautifying pill, and thirty loyalty pills.

I have already used one pregnancy pill, one skin-beautifying pill, one detoxifying pill, one health-strengthening pill, and ten loyalty pills.

The young prince's wet nurse also used a loyalty pill, since she was the closest person to the young prince besides herself, and she couldn't let anyone take advantage of her.

Xinyue walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor, Empress, and all the ladies and concubines have sent their gifts. What are your plans?"

Liu Jingyao said softly, "Xinyue, you can use what you can, and record the rest and store them in the warehouse."

Liu Jingyao pondered for a moment, then said, "The eunuchs and palace maids who come to deliver gifts today will receive double the silver. They must be treated with the proper etiquette."

Crescent Moon replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Jingyao thought that she had just given birth and was so tired that she had to rest, and hadn't even looked at the system interface yet.

I wonder if Emperor Yongzheng's lifespan was extended.

Liu Jingyao silently recited the command and opened the system interface.

A transparent interface appeared in front of her.

【Aisin Gioro Yinzhen】

Lifespan: 5 years and 8 months

[The only way to extend one's lifespan is to have more children with Yinzhen.]

Seeing that Yongzheng had already lived for five years, Liu Jingyao sighed softly. Fortunately, it proved that what the system had discussed with the Heavenly Dao was true.

With this, Liu Jingyao felt half relieved. Previously, Yongzheng's lifespan was 4 years and 4 months, and before she gave birth to the little prince, it was 3 years and 8 months. Now that it had increased by two years, it proved that she was right.

Liu Jingyao focused on her postpartum confinement, occasionally playing with the little prince. The Emperor visited the little prince several times through a screen, spoke with her a few times, and even said that he had issued an edict to confer upon her the title of Consort Qian, and that a formal investiture ceremony would be held when the little prince turned one month old.

Liu Jingyao understood that the investiture ceremony wouldn't be very extravagant. Yongzheng didn't seem like a person who liked luxury. In all his years on the throne, he had never been to Jiangnan, and he hadn't even been to the border regions many times.

Liu Jingyao finally finished her postpartum confinement and took several thorough baths. The baby prince's full-month celebration was not extravagant, but it included all the basic necessities for a prince.

The imperial harem also became lively because of the little prince's full moon celebration.

For many years, no princes had been born in the harem. They had thought that the emperor was no longer able to have children, but they never expected that he could still have children. They wondered if the emperor could live to the same age as the late emperor, and he had become less of a troublemaker.

In the harem, Liu Jingyao rose from an unknown concubine to Consort Qian, a meteoric rise that inspired many other concubines and lowly maids to emulate her and become the next Consort Qian.

The harem became lively, and the women, wanting to conceive imperial offspring, began drinking various fertility-enhancing medicines every day.

In the previous dynasty, some ministers submitted memorials requesting the emperor to select candidates for the imperial concubine selection, but the emperor suppressed them all and did not take any action.

Liu Jingyao's investiture ceremony had reached its final stage. Listening to the Empress's teachings, she respectfully performed the grand ceremony.

The Emperor was fond of the young prince. Originally, he did not bestow a name upon him so early, but the imperial physician said that the young prince was very healthy and that he was the youngest son. So, the young prince was given a name at his one-month celebration. His order of birth was sixth prince, and his name was Aisin Gioro Hongzhan, which was the original name of the sixth prince.

After she finished her postpartum confinement, Granny Jiang and Granny Zhao were supposed to return to the Imperial Household Department, but the Emperor thought that Liu Jingyao was about to move to Yongshou Palace, so he transferred Granny Jiang to Yongshou Palace as the head maid. As for Granny Zhao, she returned to the Imperial Household Department. Liu Jingyao asked Xinyue and the others to give Granny Zhao a proper send-off and also gave Granny Zhao a generous reward.

In the past few days, Liu Jingyao has been organizing the things in Chunyue Hall. The Emperor has decreed that they will move to Yongshou Palace on the twelfth of this month.

When it was the twelfth, Liu Jingyao instructed Xiao Lizi and Xiao Anzi to take good care of the things.

She also instructed Xinyue and Keqing to take good care of the Sixth Prince Hongzhan, and not to leave him without anyone by his side.

Although Liu Jingyao had already used loyalty pills on Wu Mama and Zhou Mama, it was hard to guarantee that the nannies didn't have their own ulterior motives. She thought that many princes in the Qing Dynasty had a worse relationship with their mothers than with their wet nurses.

She had previously instructed Xinyue: "If the Sixth Prince is hungry, have the wet nurse come and feed him. At other times, have the wet nurse stay in their room and have the two of them take turns feeding him."

Liu Jingyao usually spends time with the Sixth Prince when she has nothing to do. The Sixth Prince is now very familiar with her scent. Although she can accept having a nanny to take care of the child, she cannot let the child's relationship with her become estranged.

Coming to her senses, she heard Xinyue and Keqing say, "Yes, Your Highness, this servant will definitely take good care of the Sixth Prince."

Because Liu Jingyao has been busy moving palaces recently, she hasn't paid attention to the affairs of the inner palace. The young ladies-in-waiting and concubines in the inner palace often go to the Imperial Garden hoping to bump into the Emperor, but unfortunately the Emperor doesn't have that much time and is busy with the affairs of the court.

When Liu Jingyao moved to Yongshou Palace, Consort Hai from a side hall of Yongshou Palace, along with the other young ladies-in-waiting and young maids of Yongshou Palace, paid their respects to Liu Jingyao.

Liu Jingyao glanced at Consort Hai, whose eyes flashed with resentment, but said nothing. After all, Consort Hai had risen from a lowly concubine to a high-ranking one, which naturally aroused jealousy. However, one should always be wary of others. Consort Hai was the highest-ranking person in Yongshou Palace, and having lived there for many years, there were probably many of her spies there. Liu Jingyao instructed Granny Jiang to keep a close eye on Consort Hai's movements.

Then Liu Jingyao instructed Xinyue to distribute the rewards according to the positions of the various ladies.

A few days later, it was time to pay respects to the Empress. Liu Jingyao was now a concubine and could ride in a palanquin.

To be honest, this was the first time Liu Jingyao had paid her respects to the Empress. The last time she paid her respects was when she first served the Emperor, but she didn't see the Empress; it was Granny Zhu who saw her.

Afterwards, when paying respects, Her Majesty the Empress only met with consorts and ladies of the rank of Noble Lady or above. Noble ladies and ladies of the second rank like Liu Jingyao did not need to pay respects to Her Majesty the Empress.

Later, she became pregnant, and the emperor ordered her to stay in the palace to rest and prepare for childbirth. She had no chance to see the empress anymore. Even when she went to the Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat, she did not go to pay her respects to the empress.
