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

Chapter 58 The Transmigration of Consort Qian, Liu Jingyao (12)

"The Emperor has arrived!"

She was still explaining to the Sixth Prince, Hongzhan, that he was going to be a big brother, and that even if he had younger brothers and sisters, he would still be his mother's most beloved child.

Liu Jingyao quickly stood up and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty enjoy ten thousand years of good fortune and peace!"

The Sixth Prince also learned the etiquette that his nanny had taught him, and bowed cutely, saying, "Greetings, Father!"

Seeing the Sixth Prince's actions, the Emperor's joy deepened. He quickly helped Liu Jingyao up and said, "Get up! How are you feeling, Consort Qian? Are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Jingyao said gently, "Your Majesty, I am doing well. Please take care of your health!"

Then, the Emperor naturally helped the Sixth Prince up and asked, "Sixth Prince, you've gained weight again!"

The Sixth Prince looked at the Emperor and whispered in protest, "It's not heavy, it's not heavy!"

The Emperor burst into laughter upon hearing the childish words of the Sixth Prince, Hongzhan.

The three sat down on the couch, and the Emperor said, "I've been too busy lately. I didn't expect the Sixth Prince to have changed so much. I will definitely come to see you and your son when I have time in the future. Consort Qian is currently pregnant, and I plan to add some more staff for you. If you have any complaints, please tell the Empress."

Liu Jingyao quickly stood up to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have no complaints. Her Majesty the Empress has made all the arrangements."

The Sixth Prince pretended to listen attentively to the Emperor and his mother, but when the Emperor stopped talking, he quickly called out, "Father, Father, play, miss Father, Father!"

Liu Jingyao quickly explained, "The Emperor hasn't come to see you recently, and the Sixth Prince hasn't seen the Emperor for more than half a month. He misses you every day."

The Emperor instructed Su Peisheng to arrange servants, and then played with the Sixth Prince for a while. The Sixth Prince, who was not even two years old, soon ran out of energy, so the Emperor asked Granny Wu to take him away to rest.

The Emperor spent some more time talking with Liu Jingyao, and ordered the imperial physician to come and check her pulse every half month. He also said that he had instructed the Empress to exempt her from paying her respects and not to let other concubines disturb her rest.

The Emperor didn't stay in the capital for long. There were many matters to attend to in the court. He recently began implementing reforms, increasing officials' salaries as a way to appease them after his previous crackdown on corruption, thereby boosting their motivation. He was very busy with court affairs and needed to hurry up and deal with government matters.

Not long after the Emperor left, Su Peisheng, accompanied by several nannies, eunuchs, and palace maids, arrived at Shangxia Tianguang.

Xinyue entered the inner room and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Su has arrived with several matrons, eunuchs, and palace maids."

Liu Jingyao said, "Quickly, go and invite Eunuch Su in."

Su Peisheng walked in, followed by several people. Su Peisheng bowed and said, "Greetings to Consort Qian. These are the people that I specially selected to serve you according to His Majesty's wishes."

Liu Jingyao said gently, "Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Su. There's no need for such formalities."

Su Peisheng continued, "This is Granny Sun, and this is Granny Zhang. They are here specifically to help you with your pregnancy."

Granny Sun and Granny Zhang quickly bowed and said, "These servants greet Consort Qian!"

Liu Jingyao nodded and said, "No need for formalities!"

Liu Jingyao looked at Su Peisheng and continued, "Since the person has been delivered, there's no need to trouble Eunuch Su. The Emperor can't be without Eunuch Su's service."

After Su Peisheng finished his greetings, he left. Liu Jingyao asked Xiao Li to see Su Peisheng off.

Then Keqing was instructed to take the two nannies away to rest.

Liu Jingyao looked at the remaining people and nodded to Xinyue. Xinyue said, "Now that we're here with Consort Qian, the most important thing is loyalty. Tell me what you're good at!"

Among the people Su Peisheng brought, there were two palace maids named Chunlan and Qiuju. Chunlan was good at making snacks, and Qiuju was good at matching clothes. The other two eunuchs were Xiaoxizi and Xiazi. Xiaoxizi was good at tending to flowers and plants, and Xiazi was good at gathering information.

Liu Jingyao asked Xinyue to serve them tea. They were all her people now. Although there were no spies, Liu Jingyao couldn't always keep a facade. If she revealed her true nature or discussed matters, and they were the Emperor's people, and the Emperor became suspicious, it wouldn't be good if he punished her.

Then Liu Jingyao received more rewards from the Emperor and Empress. Looking at all these rewards, Liu Jingyao thought that when she left this world, she would take some with her and instructed Xinyue to register them in the treasury.

When news of Liu Jingyao's pregnancy reached the palaces of the concubines in the Yuanmingyuan Garden, the ladies and concubines began drinking fertility-enhancing drugs again, and the Yuanmingyuan Garden was filled with the smell of medicine.

When Consort Ning received the news of Liu Jingyao's pregnancy, she was playing with the Fifth Princess. The Fifth Princess was healthy, and when she was just a month old, the Emperor bestowed upon her the name Wuergeshen, which means "little deer." The Emperor hoped that the Fifth Princess would be as happy, carefree, and joyful as a little deer.

Consort Ning was grateful to Liu Jingyao, but unfortunately, giving birth to the Fifth Princess made her body unsuitable for pregnancy again. Fortunately, the Fifth Princess was healthy, so she had someone to rely on. Now she just wanted to stay by the Fifth Princess's side and watch her grow up quickly.

When Consort Hai learned that Consort Qian was pregnant, she was not so willing to accept it. She was originally a princess of the Manchu Banner Army. She entered the palace as a Changzai and was soon promoted to Guiren by the Emperor. As long as she gave birth to a prince, she would definitely be promoted to the rank of Pin. However, she had not been able to get pregnant for several years after entering the palace. She thought that this was how her life would be. Who knew that Liu Shi would get pregnant a year ago and give birth to a little prince, and be promoted to Pin in one fell swoop.

Recently, the Emperor selected several new concubines to enter the palace. One of the concubines' daughters from her family has already entered the palace and was given the title of Concubine Ying by the Emperor. Her family wants her to help Concubine Ying give birth to the imperial heir as soon as possible, but she is unwilling to do so.

Hearing that Consort Ning conceived this child because of Physician Lin's fertility-enhancing medicine, but she had been drinking it for so long without seeing any effect, she sometimes really hated God for being unfair. So she cursed Consort Qian every day, wondering why Consort Qian was so lucky, getting pregnant again before the Sixth Prince was even that old.

But she dared not do anything. The emperor had an extremely strong desire to control the court and the harem, and the court had just dealt with many ministers.

She could only wait for another opportunity and plan carefully.
