Quick Transmigration: Leisure

As dawn broke,

Xia Youmi had only figured out a few routes she was ready to try.

One approach is to target the household; she has a nominal older brother, so perhaps they can offer some assistance.

Another route is to break through from outside the mansion and cause some trouble for the fourth prince.

The last step is a bit difficult: to organize the power left by one's mother and seek help from one's maternal grandparents.

Time was of the essence, and persuading the stubborn old man to change owners was simply not an option.

Let alone the fact that he has already pledged his loyalty and established a relationship with the carefully selected and beloved fourth prince. For him to disobey the imperial decree again for the sake of his silly daughter is not the style of an old hand who always chooses the right path to survival and escapes death several times.

Xia Ji's selection of personnel was somewhat influenced by intuition.

Going against your instincts might lead you into an abyss.

although,

Choosing the right person doesn't guarantee a good life later in life.

He correctly identified the right people and the right time to choose sides, but Xia Ji failed to foresee his own incompetence.

Having been a hands-off manager for many years, he had little control over his household and had no idea how much trouble his second wife had caused him.

If only he had more fatherly love.

If he had more responsibility.

He took good care of the children and household affairs left by his deceased wife, not leaving everything to the widow of his former comrade-in-arms, and gave her a sense of security.

Perhaps Xia Youmi will be raised well and have capable helpers.

There was no plan to stage an elopement that would humiliate Xia Ji.

And then there was his luck.

According to the Fourth Prince's rules, and given his fondness for the naturally naive girl, she can at least retain her position as a concubine and the Xia family's prosperity.

By then,

If we raise our stepson well, with his noble character that springs from the mud, our family will prosper for generations.

unfortunately,

The cause and effect sown many years ago are gradually cracking, surging and erupting.

First, her daughter was spoiled and became indecisive, and her thoughts were always easily led astray.

His mind was full of blasphemous ideas.

The fourth prince brought the man back and even helped suppress the rumors, which immediately disqualified Xia Ji from negotiating.

Thus, a daughter who hasn't been properly taught will become a spinning top in a wolf's den.

Injured, boldly resisting, covered in wounds.

It was also because it touched the emperor's true feelings and coincided with a turning point in his mindset.

While this indirectly contributed to the ruthlessness and maturity of an emperor, the fate of this chosen one was quite tragic.

In her youth, she was beautiful and her stubborn, rebellious nature was endearing.

Those who remain undignified and composed even at the pinnacle deserve it.

To escape the thorn of arranged marriage

When the fourth prince ascended the throne, he did not give Xia Youmi the position she deserved; she was not given a principal position and did not have a comfortable life.

She was only a concubine, a rank slightly higher than a palace maid, and remained in that position until her death, when she was posthumously granted the title of Consort.

In the three years of the Prince's reign, Jing Yi and Jing Er were killed.

She spent two years in the harem and then killed Jing San and Jing Si.

At that moment, even someone who was inherently strong couldn't hold on any longer.

She began to act recklessly and go mad, and was imprisoned in the cold palace and forbidden to die, and she tormented herself like this for thirty-five years.

He grew old when the emperor turned seventy.

I've started to feel forgiving of everything that happened in the past.

He gently spared the one in the cold palace, giving her the choice: to end things or to release her to raise a child.

The palace servants who were preventing her from dying had just left.

That night, he burned the palace and set himself on fire, leaving no trace.

The old emperor was furious. As he rummaged around, he realized that the Xia family no longer had anyone left for him to vent his anger on.

When Xia Youmi was sent to the Cold Palace,

Xia Ji was dismissed from his post and demoted to the southwest. He died in depression a few years later, suffering from numerous injuries and illnesses.

Xia Ji's second wife, Rao Yuan, tried everything she could, but all her efforts were in vain; she lost her husband and harmed her own son.

Xia Jiechuan, the elder brother who was registered in the family genealogy, suffered as a result of his years of hard study, and was barred from taking the imperial examinations and engaging in commerce or agriculture. His existence was merely to take the punishment from the new emperor on behalf of his mother, and whenever the emperor thought of the past scandals or felt displeased.

He would then cause trouble for Rao Yuan, who would do foolish things, and Xia Jiechuan would take the blame for him.

Suffering from both mental and physical exhaustion, coupled with her increasingly insane mother, Xia Jiechuan also passed away at a young age.

This is what happened to their family.

Putting aside one's own perspective, it was simply a matter of encountering the darker side of the Fourth Prince.

In the long struggle, the other princes all had their own ways of relieving stress. The fourth prince seemed to be naturally self-disciplined and accepted his father's constant tests and pressures well.

but,

The calm and tranquility simply meant that his ribs hadn't been hit.

He truly became trapped in his own disdainful, controlling, and dramatic act of forceful acquisition.

Although it was a fleeting experience, Chunyu Huai never felt it again after ascending the throne.

His backyard was strictly ordered, with every detail carefully considered and weighed against the pros and cons.

Xia Gege was originally one of them.

But this unexpected drama brought him a sense of novelty. A completely different atmosphere emerged, and he felt excitement and satisfaction from the physical and emotional torment. Xia Gege was delicate and pitiful, yet also incredibly stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.

During the taming process, she was repeatedly stimulated with guards.

Does he not understand that she doesn't understand love either?

He understands!

But it's fun! So I pretended not to understand.

Watching her genuine despair yet repeatedly find hope, seemingly overwhelmed by danger, it's as if she almost fell in love with her true self a few times.

But at that time, the country was fraught with danger and his ascension to the throne was imminent. How could the fourth prince, Chunyu Huai, admit that he had a weakness?

He thought to himself, "Let's wait a little longer, until I truly possess the world."

Just face your own shortcomings, forgive her, and live a good life.

After ascending the throne, there were just too many trivial matters to attend to.

All the wives' families wanted a share of the profits.

to this end,

He truly understood the difficulties of his position and wanted to try to escape. He just thought about trying other women to see if he could get rid of this rib that his family could no longer help him with.

What if there are other people around?

unfortunately,

Two years was enough for him to realize that this woman was irreplaceable.

But what's going on?!

She shattered on the spot when she fought her way to the last guard, and could never be put back together!

Chunyu Huai himself wanted to,

This final resolution signifies that there are no more grudges between us, let's start afresh!

But she's gone mad, really.

Forget their past, forget the unforgettable memories, and no one can provoke her anymore.

Chunyu Huai had kept this resentment bottled up in his heart for years.

It's not that he can't review the situation; when he's calm, he realizes that Xia Youmi herself didn't do anything wrong.

The ones who are wrong are those with malicious intentions.

So when he occasionally vented his anger, it was all directed at Xia Ji, Rao Yuan, and Xia Jiechuan.

He never went to see the Cold Palace.

That won't relieve his stress.

However, arrangements were never neglected, and Chunyu Huai meticulously trained several imperial physicians and palace maids.

They're hanging on by the lives of all their family members, sharing Xia Youmi's fate. If she dies, none of you hundreds or thousands of innocent people should live either.

This is the only dark side that a wise ruler leaves for himself.

He was suited to be emperor, inheriting the strengths of his father and ancestors.

At the same time, we should reflect on our actions and consider issues from different perspectives and standpoints.

They weren't that strict with their children, nor did they raise them entirely to become emperors.

They each have their strengths and weaknesses, and are both physically and mentally healthy.

In the folk,

The thirty-eighth year of Xi Huai's reign was a better one than the thirty-eighth year of his father, Emperor Xi Jia's reign.

The people became increasingly wealthy, which also deterred countless wolves with malicious intentions.

Everyone is grateful.

Even the numerous imperial physicians and palace servants who were withdrawn from the cold palace were grateful for Emperor Xi Huai's kindness.

Few people know that

That year, a little-known concubine was posthumously granted the title of Imperial Concubine.

That was the unspeakable reason behind His Majesty's death in the same year.
