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

In April of the sixteenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, Liu Jingyao instructed Xinyue to pack her things. Today was the day the Seventh and Eighth Princes were to visit the Princes' Residence, and Liu Jingyao watched from the sidelines.

"Mother, Mother, Mother!" Ninth Prince Hongyu ran over.

"Mother, Mother, come here!" The short legs of the Tenth Prince Hongsheng followed the Ninth Prince as he ran over.

"Why did you two come here?" Liu Jingyao had a kind smile on her face. Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi were much better behaved than Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba. Like Hongzhan, they were angel babies.

“Mother, Seventh Brother is going to the Prince’s residence,” said Ninth Prince Hongyu.

Liu Jingyao held the Ninth Prince's hand and patted his head with her other hand, saying, "Yes, today is the day your Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother go to the Prince's Residence."

Seeing that his mother was ignoring him, the Tenth Prince quickly said, "We want to go too, to the Princes' quarters, to study!"

Liu Jingyao looked at the three-headed Xiao Shi and burst out laughing.

"Mother, you're laughing at me!" the Tenth Prince said angrily.

Seeing that the Tenth Prince was angry, Liu Jingyao quickly said, "You are only two years old now. You can only go to the Prince's quarters when you are six!"

The Tenth Prince usually liked to stay by the side of the Seventh and Eighth Princes. He didn't cause any trouble, but he liked to tattle on the Seventh and Eighth Princes.

"Mother, how can I grow up all at once?" the Tenth Prince asked innocently, his big eyes fixed on Liu Jingyao.

"Mother, I want to go to the Prince's quarters too! I want to grow up quickly!" said the Ninth Prince.

Liu Jingyao was charmed by their cuteness and quickly rubbed their little faces, saying, "If you go to bed early and get up early every day, you'll grow up faster."

When Xinyue entered and saw the Empress interacting with the young princes, she was filled with joy. So many years had passed in the blink of an eye. From the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign to now, although there had been newborns in the harem, only the Empress had given birth to a young prince. She was truly fortunate to be with the Empress.

Caixia and Caiguang reached the age to leave the palace, and the Empress had already released them. Caixia was originally the Empress's dowry maid, and since there was no one else in her family, she stayed behind. However, Qing's family treated her badly, and she wanted to stay by the Empress's side so that she could have someone to rely on when she got old.

Xinyue bowed and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty, and greetings to the Ninth and Tenth Princes!"

Liu Jingyao looked at Xinyue and said, "No need for formalities, is everything ready?"

Xinyue replied, "Your Majesty, everything is almost ready. However, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince are still packing their things. We wanted to help, but the princes wouldn't let us interfere."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyao knew that those two little devils were up to something again, and it was nothing more than their 'War Chronicles' toys.

"Ignore them both."

Liu Jingyao thought back to how she used to dislike the two of them, and now they've grown up so fast. Luckily, her brother Hongzhan can help take care of them.

The Prince's residence actually included the children of the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince, as well as some children of the imperial clan, but Hongzhan and his children were too far apart in age from the Fourth Prince and his children to play together.

Those nephews, though small in stature, are incredibly envious of Hongzhan. It's probably because of the Fourth Prince's concubines who taught them that. Fortunately, Hongzhan is quite mature and responsible. Now that Xiaoqi and Xiaoba have moved there, they can look after Hongzhan.

After Liu Jingyao and the others finished packing, she led the servants to help them move to the Prince's Residence, which was very spacious because the Emperor had gained five princes in the past few years.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba chose seats close to Hongzhan's. Today, the Emperor gave Hongzhan a half-day off, and Hongzhan also came to the Prince's Office to help.

Liu Jingyao looked at Hongzhan, who was almost nine years old. He was now a young boy with a graceful demeanor. He had inherited Liu Jingyao's appearance, and his eyes were the typical phoenix eyes of the Aisin Gioro clan.

Most of Xiao Qi and the others inherited Liu Jingyao's beauty. Liu Jingyao is currently the most favored in the harem, after all, she is beautiful, and she has given birth to five princes. Whether it is her appearance or anything else, the emperor will give Liu Jingyao a respectable position. So Liu Jingyao is quite comfortable in the harem. It is a pity that she cannot leave the palace at will. It would be even better if she could leave the palace to play.

"Sixth Brother, your mother knows you are very independent. There are some things you haven't told your mother, but your mother believes you can handle them. If you can't handle them, tell your mother, and your mother will definitely help you. You are the eldest brother of Seventh Brother and the others. Seventh Brother and the others have just arrived at the Prince's residence, so there may be some inconveniences. Please take good care of them. If they are naughty, don't hesitate to beat them up."

“Mother, Hongzhan understands. Your son will take good care of Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother. Mother, don’t worry too much. Now that Seventh Brother and the others have moved here, Mother should be happy. Once your sons grow up, Mother can rest assured.”

Looking at Hongzhan, who was acting mature, Liu Jingyao thought to herself, "If Hongzhan doesn't want that position, even if my mission fails, I want Hongzhan to be happy."

Hongzhan, despite his young age, was so mature it was heartbreaking. Following her own thoughts, Liu Jingyao raised her hand and patted Hongzhan's little head.

Hongzhan blushed as his mother touched his head, but he also longed for her affection.

The Seventh Prince Hongxu and the Eighth Prince Hongxi ran over.

Liu Jingyao withdrew her hand, after all, she still needed to give Hongzhan some face in front of her younger brother.

"Mother, everything is arranged." the Seventh Prince said.

"Yes, Mother, come and see our dwelling." The Eighth Prince said earnestly.

The Seventh Prince lived in the same quarters as the Sixth Prince, and the Eighth Prince lived in the same quarters as the Seventh Prince. After all, they were twins and often slept together. Occasionally, they would discuss a small matter until midnight. It was hard to understand how the two of them could have such a good relationship and such abundant energy.

After the Seventh and Eighth Princes moved to the Princes' Residence, Liu Jingyao's life became quiet. She would usually tease the Ninth and Tenth Princes, but they always managed to find something fun to do on their own and never caused Liu Jingyao any trouble.

It is worth mentioning that, after hearing that the Fifth and Sixth Princesses moved to the Princesses' Academy and learned very well, the Emperor subsequently issued an edict that the princesses of the Fourth and Fifth Princes, as well as the princesses of the imperial clan, should all have the opportunity to study at the Princesses' Academy, just as the princes studied at the Princes' Academy.

That day, Liu Jingyao stood in front of a red solid wood table and painted a landscape painting.

When the Sixth Prince went to the Princes' Residence, Xiao Lizi moved there with him. Xiao Anzi accompanied the Seventh Prince, and Xiao Xiazi accompanied the Eighth Prince. Later, the Empress sent a few more people over, one named Xiao Yunzi and the other Xiao Pingzi. Liu Jingyao is not very loyal now, so she didn't let them come with her. Usually, when there are things to do, Zhao Zhong (the head eunuch of Yongshou Palace) and Xiao Xizi will handle them.

Xiao Xizi trotted in, and Liu Jingyao, seeing his flustered state, guessed that something serious had happened.

Liu Jingyao put down her pen, waved her hand, and indicated that she did not need to bow.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince's legitimate son, Prince Yonglian, has passed away."

"What? You're moving some festive items to the warehouse and replacing them with something more elegant and simple."

Liu Jingyao didn't remember for a moment that the Fourth Prince's Yonglian had died at the age of nine. Hongzhan had said recently that Yonglian was very intelligent, but Yonglian had fallen ill and returned to the Fourth Prince's residence to recuperate. Unexpectedly, Yonglian did not make it.

She understood that princes like Yonglian, who died before reaching adulthood, generally did not have funerals. They would simply lie in state for a few days before being buried in a mausoleum, and they would not be allowed to enter the royal mausoleum.

Liu Jingyao also felt sorry for the child, so she instructed the servants to put away the festive items.

Some time ago, Yunzhi, Yunzhi, and others passed away. The Emperor's brothers were left with only Yun'e, Yuntao, Yunti, Yunlu, Yunyi, and Yunxi. Seeing his brothers die one by one, the Emperor's heart softened a little.
