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

Chapter 74 The Qing Dynasty Transmigration of Consort Qian 28

Liu Jingyao stayed at Yongshou Palace until the noise outside subsided before she rested. She also instructed Xiao Xizi to report to the princes that everything was alright after the Forbidden City gates opened. The reason for waiting for the Forbidden City gates to open was that she wanted to wait until the Emperor had dealt with these matters before allowing her people in the harem to move around. Otherwise, if they bumped into the Emperor's guards and were arrested as assassins, it would be difficult to handle the situation.

The next day at court, the ministers with connections all knew that the Fourth Prince had rebelled the night before, joining forces with Lady Fuca, Lady Magiya, and some ministers who followed him. Today at court, many of the usual seats were empty, and the ministers dared not speak.

The Emperor announced the stripping of the titles of the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince, and the confinement of the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince, forbidding them from leaving the Imperial Clan Court for life.

The emperor issued an edict to execute the main ministers who plotted the rebellion, such as the ringleaders, the Fuca clan and the Magiya clan. Of course, the emperor knew his limits; the Manchu population was already small, and if nine generations of their families were executed, how many people would be left?

Once the emperor's decrees were issued one by one, the ministers immediately knelt down to acknowledge the emperor's wisdom, and only then did they dare to speak about the day's affairs.

Liu Jingyao was quite comfortable staying in the harem. In the morning, the Emperor assigned half of the affairs under the jurisdiction of Consort Xi and Consort Yu to her, and presumably gave the other half to Consort Ning.

News came from the inner palace that the Emperor had imprisoned Consort Xi and Consort Yu. It was unknown what the Emperor would do next, but none of that mattered. Liu Jingyao knew that she had gained something from this.

In May, news came from the previous court that the Emperor had appointed the Sixth Prince as Crown Prince in front of his ministers during the court session that day. The Emperor had also figured it out. He was worried that if he didn't decide on a candidate soon, the five brothers might turn against each other over the position. Even if they didn't have this intention at first, the ministers would force them to. Wasn't that what happened to his eldest brother? He was forced by the late Emperor to become the second brother's "sharpening knife," and in the end, neither of them turned out well.

In recent years, his health has deteriorated significantly, and he has come to realize that he wants to hand over the position to Hongzhan, who is both literate and martial, intelligent, and has a certain understanding of politics.

After the emperor designated the sixth prince as the crown prince, he would take the sixth prince with him every day after court to teach him how to handle government affairs and the ways of an emperor.

In the thirty-second year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, the Emperor issued an edict promoting Consort Qian to Imperial Noble Consort Qian, ordering all the concubines in the harem to pay their respects to Imperial Noble Consort Qian. Liu Jingyao, having become an Imperial Noble Consort, was required to wait for them to pay their respects on the 5th and 10th of each month. Liu Jingyao then issued an edict stating that she could not surpass the late Empress Dowager and only needed to pay her respects on the 15th of each month.

Last year, the Eighth Princess married into the Gorlos tribe, and the Emperor promoted Zhang Guiren to Consort, making her Consort Tian.

In August of the thirty-third year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, the sixth prince, Hongzhan, successfully ascended the throne. The following year was the Yuanqian era, and Liu Jingyao was promoted to Empress Dowager. She successfully moved to the Cining Palace, and as Empress Dowager, Liu Jingyao had more freedom.

The Sixth Prince then bestowed the title of Empress upon his primary consort, and bestowed titles of Noble Lady, Attendant, and so on upon the other princesses.

The Sixth Prince was deeply influenced by Liu Jingyao's progressive ideas and did not approve of having too many women in the harem. Moreover, the Empress had already given birth to two sons for him, and the eldest son was as intelligent as him. He had made up his mind to teach his eldest son well.

Liu Jingyao handed over all her affairs to the Empress and taught her for two months. After the Empress became proficient in the affairs of the harem, she took several concubines who were willing to go to the Yuanmingyuan Garden with her to recuperate.

Consort Jia naturally had to curry favor with her. Now that the late emperor had passed away, the current emperor was Liu Jingyao's son. Her daughter was not yet married. Didn't you see that the Eighth Princess was implicated by Consort Xi because Consort Zhang was close to Consort Xi and the others, and her daughter was married off to Mongolia? On the other hand, the Seventh Princess was married off to the Fuca clan because of the Empress Dowager and stayed in the capital.

Liu Jingyao spent several years in the Yuanmingyuan Garden, where she brought out all of Liu Jia's previous plans, such as the weapons developed by Daihe and the cement developed by Liu Bai and his team, which changed the country. Because of Liu Jingyao, the emperor established many women's colleges and women's textile factories, and heeded advice to open up maritime trade.

Liu Jingyao began her travels around the world, accompanied by guards arranged by the emperor. She did many good deeds and acted chivalrously along the way. When she grew old and could no longer walk, she stopped going out and settled down to live out her old age in the Yuanmingyuan.

Thirty-three years after his ascension to the throne, the Emperor abdicated in favor of the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, the retired Emperor is staying at the Yuanmingyuan Garden with Liu Jingyao.

Liu Jingyao left this world with a smile on her face.

With a blink of an eye, Ning Miaomiao found herself in the system space. After returning, she played games for several days and nights before taking a nap.

When Ning Miaomiao woke up, the system said that a woman had just arrived and it had given Miaomiao a mission. It was a movie world called Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace. The woman's name was Su Luyun. She hoped that her son would ascend the throne and wanted to take revenge on Jin Yuyan and Hailan. If possible, she also wanted to take revenge on the emperor.

Ning Miaomiao thought the task wouldn't be difficult.

"System, you won't disappear like last time, will you? The official history of the Qing Dynasty is too heavy, and the status of women is too low. In my last mission, I didn't dare to do much. You were even afraid when Yongzheng spoke to you."

"Don't worry, host. This time it's not official history, and without the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, the system won't disappear."

"Okay, let's get started!"
