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

With the Emperor's purge of the court and the harem, everyone was on edge, not daring to provoke him. At this time, the Sixth Prince was a good mediator.

Every time the Emperor came, the Sixth Prince would speak to him with his adorable face, using childlike words. Every time, the Emperor would smile like an aunt. Fortunately, Liu Jingyao was already used to the Emperor's smile. If the other ministers and concubines saw it, they would be terrified.

That day, Liu Jingyao had just played with the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince for a while when she thought about how the Sixth Prince had already started studying with the Emperor and was now in his small study learning to read. After all, the Emperor had specially assigned a literate imperial nanny to teach the Sixth Prince to read. Of course, Liu Jingyao and the Emperor usually taught him themselves.

Assigning a nanny to the Sixth Prince is also a sign of how much he is valued.

Seeing that the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were a little sleepy, Liu Jingyao asked the nanny to carry them away.

She thought of Consort Jing giving birth to the Sixth Princess. She hadn't checked the system yet. Thinking about it, she silently prayed to open the system.

A familiar transparent interface appeared before her eyes.

【Aisin Gioro Yinzhen】

Lifespan: 11 years and 2 months

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

Seeing the number 11 written above, Liu Jingyao sighed inwardly. The longer the Emperor lived, the better he would treat her and the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Princes.

The Emperor previously intensified his punishment of corrupt officials, and now he has dealt with the Imperial Household Department and the bondservant faction. It's said that most of the Fourth Prince's men have been eliminated. After all, most of those who follow the Fourth Prince are people who want to gain merit by marrying into the Emperor; they only follow him if there are benefits to be gained.

Who knew the Emperor would be so healthy? They speculated that he would live as long as the late Emperor.

Time flies. After the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the Emperor returned to the palace, and Liu Jingyao followed him back to Yongshou Palace. The old nanny Sun and the old nanny Zhang who had served her during her pregnancy had returned to the Imperial Household Department, but Lianyin and Heyin stayed behind.

After returning to Yongshou Palace, Liu Jingyao spent her days either helping the Sixth Prince learn to read or playing with the Seventh and Eighth Princes. In her spare time, she would play chess or paint a few pictures.

Occasionally, she would go to the Chuxiu Palace to pay her respects to the Empress. After returning to the palace, she received news that Consort Gao was more than a month pregnant. Liu Jingyao was not particularly surprised when she heard the news.

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince are like someone else, always running around and jumping. They've only just learned to walk, but they already want to run. Liu Jingyao is worried that the children's bones are too soft, so she only lets them walk for a little while each day. In a few days, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince will be one year old.

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were twins. The Emperor was worried that they wouldn't survive, so unlike the Sixth Prince, they weren't given names at one month old. Liu Jingyao guessed that the Emperor wanted to give them names when they turned one year old, since the twins were healthy at the moment.

The Sixth Prince's birthday was in November, and the Seventh and Eighth Princes' birthdays were in September, all in winter, which made Liu Jingyao's postpartum confinement period much easier.

That day, Liu Jingyao looked at the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, who resembled two monkeys, and sighed. She really didn't know how these two could be so lively. The Emperor seemed serious, and she was usually very composed, so how could these two be so mischievous?

Liu Jingyao instructed, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, do you understand what your mother just said?"

The Seventh Prince nodded: "I know, I know!"

The Eighth Prince nodded in agreement: "I know, I know!"

Liu Jingyao looked at the two of them, unsure if they understood. The Sixth Prince comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. We've already trained Seventh and Eighth to grab things at their first birthday banquet. Although they're quite lively, they're very clever. Don't worry, Mother!"

When Liu Jingyao arrived with her three children, many concubines were already there. After exchanging greetings with them, the Emperor arrived shortly afterward with the Empress.

For this first birthday banquet, the Emperor specially invited Liu Jingyao's mother to attend, as a sign of his favor.

This was also the first time Liu Jingyao had met her mother-in-law, whom she remembered. Like most matriarchs in the Qing Dynasty, she was gentle and kind. Her elder brother, Liu Bai, had just had a son last year and had mentioned it to her today.

Normally, it was not convenient for Lady Liu to enter the palace. When she gave birth to the Sixth Prince last time, her status was not high, and the Emperor did not grant her the favor. Therefore, she did not attend the Sixth Prince's first birthday banquet.

With the purges by the Imperial Household Department this year, who would dare to enter the palace at this critical juncture? If they offended a noble in the palace, things would get complicated.

Fortunately, the Emperor remembered her and specially invited her mother to the palace for her first birthday banquet.

The Emperor and Empress gestured for everyone to rise, and the banquet began. After the banquet, it was time for the first birthday celebration for Xiaoqi and Xiaoba.

The servants arranged the scene with auspicious little items, such as small bows and arrows, small brushes, books, and small abacuses.

The wet nurses put down Xiaoqi and Xiaoba.

The two, dressed up like little lucky dolls, looked left and right. Xiao Qi looked at Liu Jingyao, who nodded. Xiao Qi then pulled Xiao Ba, who still wanted to sit, to stand up and walk forward.

The two people walked to the front of the object and stopped, sitting down quietly. The two little people communicated in a language they couldn't understand.

You say one thing, I say one thing.

The two little people discussed it for a long time. One of them picked up a small knife and a small sword, while the other picked up a small bow and arrow and a small hammer.

The matron who was hosting the event uttered a string of kind words.

The first birthday banquets of the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince passed peacefully and without incident.
