A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration
Chapter 67 The Transmigration of Consort Qian, Liu Jingyao (21)
The Emperor was saddened by the death of the Fourth Prince's legitimate son. After all, in the Emperor's heart, the current Fourth Prince was his successor to the throne, and behind the scenes, the name of the Fourth Prince Hongli should still be that of the Emperor.
Liu Jingyao understood that these things couldn't be rushed. Hongzhan just needed to proceed step by step. Moreover, Hongli himself wasn't someone who could keep things to himself. In his previous life, he was able to ascend the throne because, firstly, Yongzheng lived a rather short life, and secondly, Yongzheng didn't have many sons.
As the Fourth Prince grew older, and reached the same age as the former Crown Prince, he still couldn't ascend the throne. She didn't believe that the Fourth Prince's shortcomings wouldn't be revealed.
In June of the sixteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, he quietly departed. No matter how desolate the Fourth Prince's residence was, life had to go on, and the Emperor resumed his busy days.
Liu Jingyao continued with her previous plan, since there was only one pregnancy pill left.
Three months passed quietly, and news came from the inner palace that Consort Su was almost two months pregnant. Consort Su entered the palace in the tenth year of Yongzheng's reign and was initially granted the title of Consort. Her father was a minor official of the sixth rank. After entering the palace, she was beautiful and gentle. Because the emperor liked her personality, he would have her serve him once every two months.
In recent years, no new concubines have entered the Emperor's harem. The Emperor himself should know that he needs to take care of his health.
Unexpectedly, Consort Su became pregnant. This was the first time a concubine had become pregnant since Consort Qian's pregnancy two years prior, causing an uproar in the harem.
When the Emperor learned that Consort Su was pregnant, he promoted her to the rank of Attendant-in-Waiting and assigned her staff so that she could focus on her pregnancy.
Consort Su's pregnancy had little impact on Liu Jingyao's life. Liu Jingyao's life became much simpler because of her status in the harem, which allowed her mother to enter the palace. Liu Jingyao compiled some information on improving grain production and gave it to her mother so that she could give it to her elder brother and the others.
Preliminary results have been achieved recently, and it is estimated that in another year, the results will be submitted to the Emperor. At that time, the farmers will be able to eat and dress well. Of course, the subsequent matters of improving the status of women, enhancing national strength and military power, and weapons will require Hongzhan or his son to carry out the changes generation after generation. Hopefully, this will change the future.
Liu Jingyao has already sent her mother to find Dai Zi's successor. Currently, Dai Zi's successor, Dai He, is being protected by Liu Bai in the Anhui region. Although Dai He's talent is not as good as Dai Zi's, he possesses a large number of Dai Zi's manuscripts. Even if he only maintains the status quo, he can still improve the Qing Dynasty's weaponry by more than half. Unfortunately, he cannot make any big moves, otherwise, if the Emperor finds out, it will be terrible if he accuses the Liu family of treason. They need to proceed slowly.
(Daihe is a fictional character created by the author.)
Liu Jingyao isn't someone who wants to do great things; she just wants to go back to her original Earth and see her parents. So, for the sake of her goal, those people shouldn't blame her—who told you to block her way?
Changing the Qing Dynasty now is merely for the sake of merit.
Time flies. In April of the seventeenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, Consort Su gave birth to a little princess, the Ninth Princess. The Emperor promoted Consort Su to the rank of Noble Lady and bestowed upon her the name Jia. Now she is Noble Lady Jia. The Emperor ordered Noble Lady Jia to move to Xianfu Palace to live with Consort Jing, presumably so that the Sixth Princess could take care of the Ninth Princess.
The Sixth Princess is no longer the frail girl she once was. She is intelligent, hardworking, and capable of handling things on her own. The Emperor's decision to establish the Princess's Residence was the right one.
Liu Jingyao hadn't opened the system for a long time. Thinking that all ten pills had been used up and the Emperor had gained five more princes and five more princesses, she silently opened the interface, and an interface appeared before her eyes.
【Aisin Gioro Yinzhen】
Lifespan: 16 years and 8 months
[The only way to extend one's lifespan is to have more children with Yinzhen.]
Liu Jingyao thought that having ten children would add twenty years to Yongzheng's lifespan. It was already April of the seventeenth year of Yongzheng's reign, which was about right! After all, the life and death of a person can sometimes be a little unpredictable.
In August of the seventeenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, Liu Jingyao's elder brother, Liu Bai, submitted a memorial to the emperor. The emperor was overjoyed upon seeing it and personally led his ministers to harvest grain from Liu's fields in the suburbs. The amount of grain obtained was double that of the previous harvest.
The Emperor promoted Liu Bai and transferred him to the Ministry of Works. He is now the Vice Minister of Works. Although he is a fifth-rank official, everyone knows that Liu Bai has already won the Emperor's favor. As long as he does a good job in grain production, the Emperor will definitely promote him in a few years.
Therefore, the eldest brother Liu Bai was not ostracized in the Ministry of Works, after all, he was the uncle of the five young princes. Similarly, Liu An was still in the Hanlin Academy and had already risen to the sixth rank.
Liu Jingyao didn't have too many thoughts, after all, it was all for the sake of merit, and half of the merit would be hers in the end. Then Liu Jingyao gave out the cold-proof items, first the method of processing wool, and then the method of processing duck down, and asked her mother to give them to her eldest brother and fourth brother, but not all at once, and to keep a balance, and let her eldest brother and fourth brother discuss it properly.
As for why Liu Jingyao's father, Liu Man, wasn't given the position, it's simply because Liu Man wasn't a good father. When the original owner's mother was pregnant, he took a concubine and even tried to favor the concubine over his wife. Fortunately, the original owner's mother was decisive and gave up her feelings in time, taking control of the household. Moreover, the original owner never mentioned that she had feelings for her mother, eldest brother, and fourth brother.
Every time her mother went to the palace, Liu Jingyao would bring her something. She would put her documents in a hidden compartment of a box and take them out of the palace.
The main problem was that everything was inconvenient in the inner palace. The Emperor valued Liu Jingyao and several young princes highly and arranged for several secret guards to protect them. While it was indeed protection, it was also surveillance. Therefore, Liu Jingyao's movements in the inner palace were restricted. In the first few years after entering the palace, even after giving birth to the Sixth Prince, Liu Jingyao dared not do anything. Only in recent years, after Liu Jingyao gained control of several personal maids and servants, and the Emperor showed her favor, he granted her mother special permission to enter the palace. Usually, it was once a month, but Liu Jingyao couldn't really let her mother enter the palace every month, so they basically met once every six months.
Liu Jingyao's long-term scheme was simply to give the Liu family a voice in the court. After all, their growth would be useful for her son's ascension to the throne. The Fourth Prince's wife's family was the powerful Fuca clan, and his maternal family was the Niohuru clan. Which one of them didn't have power and influence in the court?
When the time is right, Liu Jingyao plans to give the smallpox vaccine to Liu Bai. She doesn't believe the Emperor won't favor them for such a great contribution. However, now is not the right time. It will be more effective after the Sixth Prince gets married.
