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

(Activate the Time Magic)

Before long, the Sixth Prince Hongzhan was about to go to the Princes' Residence. The Sixth Prince was intelligent and talented. Originally, the Sixth Prince was supposed to be 6 years old before going to the Princes' Residence, but now the Emperor valued the Sixth Prince and allowed him to enter the Princes' Residence 6 months earlier.

The Emperor granted special permission for Liu Bai's eldest son to become the Sixth Prince's study companion, and also selected the sons of three ministers to be the Sixth Prince's study companions.

Liu Jingyao wasn't too worried about the Sixth Prince, after all, she had cultivated his independence and ability since he was young, and he also had loyal people around him.

In the thirteenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, the Emperor promoted Liu Jingyao's eldest brother, Liu Bai, to a fifth-rank official position. His fourth brother, Liu An, passed the imperial examination and is now working in the Hanlin Academy, accumulating seniority. It is estimated that in a few years, Liu An will be in the same position as Liu Bai, since he is now the brother-in-law of three princes.

Two years ago, Consort Gao gave birth to a little princess, the Seventh Princess. The Emperor promoted Consort Gao to Noble Lady and bestowed upon her the title of Yun. The Seventh Princess was raised by Noble Lady Yun.

Fortunately, another patient became pregnant six months ago and is now almost five months along.

After the first birthday banquets of the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, the Emperor bestowed the name Hongxu upon the Seventh Prince and the name Hongxi upon the Eighth Prince, both names meaning "dawn".

The inner palace is usually quite quiet. After all, the Imperial Household Department has been cleaned up by the Emperor, and Consort Yu has become even quieter. Now she is the daughter of a disgraced official, and the Fifth Prince no longer has a maternal clan. The Fifth Prince is not as arrogant as he was during the Qianlong era, since the Emperor keeps him in check.

The Fourth Prince is not in any major trouble. Half of his subordinates have been captured, and now that the Emperor is watching, he dares not make any big moves.

Liu Jingyao sat in the chair, playing chess by herself, her slender fingers constantly rotating the white pieces, her left hand supporting her forehead as if trying to break the deadlock.

The Seventh and Eighth Princes hid their small heads in front of the door, and after a while they looked at Liu Jingyao with guilty expressions.

Liu Jingyao looked up at the Seventh Prince, frowned, and said, "Where did you two go off to play?"

The Seventh Prince led the Eighth Prince in. The Seventh Prince looked up at his mother, then lowered his head guiltily.

Seeing this, Liu Jingyao realized that the Seventh Prince had gotten into trouble, and said seriously, "Seventh Prince, what do you say?"

When the Seventh Prince Hongxu saw that his mother had discovered it, he immediately said with a straight face, "Mother, the flowers and plants were too fragile. I wanted to make them even prettier, but I didn't expect them to die."

The Eighth Prince chimed in from the side, "Yes, yes!"

Liu Jingyao thought of the orchid that the Emperor had sent from the flower shop a few days ago. It was a rare Phalaenopsis orchid, and she really liked this variety.

Liu Jingyao said, "Hongxu, Hongxi, you two are always jumping around, can't you learn from your sixth brother?"

The Seventh Prince retorted, "The Sixth Brother is studying at the Minister's residence. It's been so long since I've seen him. Mother, Mother, please don't tell the Sixth Brother."

The Eighth Prince agreed, "Don't tell the Sixth Prince."

These two brothers are really something. They're not afraid of the Emperor or her, but they're afraid of Hongzhan. Only Hongzhan can subdue them both.

Liu Jingyao is so annoyed with the two of them now. They're like two little devils. They've ruined her collection. Now she can't wait for them to move to the Prince's residence.

Liu Jingyao instructed the nanny to take the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince downstairs to wash up.

Liu Jingyao thought about how she still had two pregnancy pills and two pregnancy pills left. After a few months, when a little princess was born in the harem, Liu Jingyao wondered whether she should continue with her plan.

After pondering for a while, Liu Jingyao took two pregnancy pills. It wasn't that she favored boys over girls, but the timing was simply wrong. After all, this was the Qing Dynasty, and it was too difficult for women to survive. Once the Sixth Prince ascended the throne, the other Sixth Princes would raise the status of women.

The next morning, the weather gradually got hot. Although it was only May, the palace was like a cage of fire. It was estimated that in half a month, the emperor would go to the Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat.

Liu Jingyao looked at the swaying branches and the dappled shadows, which revealed the tranquility of summer.

She had just taken the fertility pill yesterday, but unfortunately the Emperor hadn't entered the harem recently. At the beginning of the year in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, the Emperor had fallen ill, and Liu Jingyao was worried that she couldn't change his fate. Fortunately, the Emperor eventually recovered.

That day, Liu Jingyao was drawing a horse in the courtyard. The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince ran over, saw their mother's drawing, and asked, "Mother, what is this?"

Liu Jingyao patted his fluffy little head and said, "It's a little horse!"

The Eighth Prince asked, "What is a 'little horse'? Is it the same as 'Bai Fu'?"

Baifu was a small dog given to the Sixth Prince by the Emperor. It was a lion dog, and it would wag its tail happily whenever it saw the Sixth Prince and his companions.

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince also loved it and wanted one too. However, the Emperor thought the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were too naughty and worried that they would do bad things with the puppy, so he refused their request.

Liu Jingyao explained what a pony was, and then said, "When your father comes, your mother will ask the emperor for some foals for you, how about that?"

The Seventh Prince thought for a moment and said, "We also need to ask the Sixth Prince for some!"

Seeing the brotherly affection between them, Liu Jingyao was delighted and readily agreed with a smile.

Before she knew it, three months had passed, and Liu Jingyao was still living in Shangxia Tianguang.

Xiao Xizi ran in, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Physician Lin from the Imperial Hospital is already waiting outside."

Liu Jingyao nodded and said, "Let Physician Lin come in!"

Not long after, Xiao Xizi brought in Physician Lin.

After bowing, Physician Lin extended his fingers and placed them on Liu Jingyao's wrist. Soon after, Physician Lin's expression turned serious.

Physician Lin's eyes widened. This was a pregnancy pulse? Yes, a pulse as round as a bead was indeed a pregnancy pulse.

This is Consort Qian's third pregnancy, but considering the medicine in her possession, it seems reasonable.

Following Consort Qian was indeed a good thing. Now he was fawned over by all the concubines in the harem. Although some of the ladies-in-waiting were not pregnant, his prescriptions had already made three of them pregnant.

Then, Physician Lin slowly withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations! This is a pregnancy pulse!"

After exchanging words with Xinyue, Physician Lin was about to leave when Liu Jingyao stopped him and asked Xinyue to stand guard at the door.

Liu Jingyao mainly asked Imperial Physician Lin to control the timing of pregnancies in the harem. Now that she was pregnant, they could stagger the time. Imperial Physician Lin said he understood and would do as the Empress requested.
