Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Xia Youmi thought.

Judging from the plot, there should be some sophisticated framing schemes.

Unexpectedly, the first and most serious attempt to frame the female lead before she entered the palace was the most brutal method: ordering someone to charge into the enemy's palace.

They were eunuchs bribed by Consort Sun.

Normally, with so many people protecting the Imperial Concubine, there shouldn't be any problem. But just as she reached an intersection, the palace servants in front and behind her became somewhat scattered. Coupled with the unexpectedness of the collision and the eunuch's considerable strength, even with others cushioning the fall, the Imperial Concubine was still knocked down.

If bleeding occurs immediately, premature labor is likely.

After a long labor, with everyone in the palace on edge, news finally arrived that both mother and child were safe. However, the mother had suffered greatly, and the prince was weak.

The concubines all realized one thing from this:

A dog that bites doesn't bark.

Looking at Consort Sun, who had always been very honest, she hadn't uttered any complaints after the miscarriage at the Prince's residence. She hadn't even shown any sign that she knew who the culprit was. After enduring for a long time, she used the super-strong eunuch she had observed to strike directly and accurately.

Although no one died in the accident, the Second Prince suffered a severe blow, and he essentially lost the physical condition to succeed to the throne.

Lian Shaoyuan also had a son who died at the age of three.

After ascending the throne, he was still referred to as the First Prince. His birth mother was a concubine in the Prince's palace. After ascending the throne, she was posthumously granted the title of Noble Lady. She was the direct culprit in framing Consort Sun, but she died alongside the prince.

Consort Sun's blissful pregnancy deeply wounded the birth mother of the eldest prince, who was then critically ill in bed. She then plotted to have everyone executed along with her, ultimately causing Consort Sun to suffer a horrific miscarriage and barely escape with her life.

Furthermore, Sun Changzai later learned that Ye Ruilan's indulgence was partly responsible for the miscarriage.

He then lay low, preparing to retaliate when the opportunity presented itself.

After hearing the whole story, Xia Youmi sighed deeply, realizing that a world where everyone was hurt had been achieved.

No one in this group is a beneficiary, including the protagonist who repeatedly loses his children. Despite the fact that existence itself is a sin, he treats everything as a bargaining chip, betting against everyone and sharing the risks with the officials who invest in him.

Under the oppression of feudal families, the girls' fates were manipulated and used to exchange for benefits. Perhaps in the eyes of the world, choosing the Prince of Jin was a lucky bet, and the whole family would benefit. But only, countless lives silently testified to the injustice.

This is also why she chose to live in seclusion.

Xia Youmi grew up under the influence of communism and didn't want to break her own understanding of public order and good morals. But being unable to control one's own destiny is often an ironclad rule; once you're involved, you'll inevitably be constrained, leaving her with no choice but to escape.

It's shameful, but it's useful.

......

Ye Ruilan was severely weakened and spent two months in confinement.

During this time, Xia Youmi had Chef Qian prepare some nourishing meals and send them over, along with the old women's best-kept beauty and health recipes, and a peace lock from her dowry. It was said that His Majesty visited her every day, so she didn't bother going to join the festivities. The fact that she received a gift beyond the usual formalities was a testament to their genuinely good relationship.

Being protected by someone in power can save you from many troublesome paths.

The second prince was not considered to have established himself until after the hundredth day.

On a cooler afternoon, Xia Youmi went to visit Yunlan Palace. The place was much quieter now. Ye Ruilan was looking at the account books and was still somewhat dazed when she heard Consort Xian requesting an audience.

She had acted cautiously for many years, never slacking off in either the affairs of the Prince's residence or the palace. But after giving birth prematurely, she reflected for a long time. She realized that after testing the Consort Xian's attitude, her smugness had reached its peak.

His Majesty's attention, his unique favor and rewards, all brought her closer to the abyss.

Sun Changzai's actions were not secretive, and she could be easily identified in advance.

It was she who was complacent and self-satisfied. She thought no one in the harem could rival her, blinding herself and losing her clarity of mind.

"Good sister, you..." Xia Youmi paused, about to utter the polite words of concern for Ye Ruilan's thinness, but couldn't bring herself to say it. Ye Ruilan, on the other hand, looked healthier and seemed to be in good spirits.

Ye Ruilan smiled and instantly understood. She pulled Xia Youmi to sit down on the tatami mat and said softly, "It's all thanks to my sister."

"Ok?"

"What did I do?" Xia Youmi wondered.

Ye Ruilan didn't keep them in suspense and handed them a clean red date.

"Thanks to my sister's medicinal diet, it was just the right amount of nourishment. When His Majesty saw it, he thought I hadn't suffered at all."

Xia Youmi was shocked. "It can't be that bad, can it?"

Medicinal cuisine is one aspect, but it can only nourish the body. Emotional wounds are much harder to heal; one must find a way to heal them on their own. Ye Ruilan's rapid recovery indicates that both her mind and body have healed.

One has to admire the female supporting character's resilience; there's a reason she was able to fight the female lead for so many rounds later on.

"Recovering does not mean that you have not suffered."

"Haha, let's not talk about that. Anyway, I have to thank my sister. Would you like to meet the little prince?" Ye Ruilan changed the subject and brought up the child.

Xia Youmi nodded, wanting to see the skill level of the imperial physicians of this dynasty.

The baby, born at seven months, is now almost four months old. He still looks extremely fragile, but the fact that he's visible to others means he's out of danger. His features are small and exquisite. Born into royalty, he had ample resources to maintain his health, but it was precisely this environment that caused his poor health.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse is hard to say. Xia Youmi felt a little pity, but couldn't muster any sympathy.

May he live a life of joy, just like his name suggests.

Lian Lezhan.

The name His Majesty bestowed upon the Second Prince on his 100th day.

The generational naming system of the Lian dynasty begins with the third character. Both His Majesty and Prince An use the character "Yuan," while the next generation of male descendants uses "Zhan." The deceased eldest prince's name was Lian Chengzhan, which means inheritance and carrying on the legacy. Unfortunately, he did not live up to the expectations of the male protagonist.

"Little Le'er, grow up well."

Ye Ruilan's eyes reddened as she listened, choosing to quickly forget some of the pain, all for the sake of securing more for her child in the future.

After offering several words of comfort and presenting the prepared congratulatory gifts, along with some return gifts, Xia Youmi took a shortcut back to the palace. She lived in the remote northeast corner, quite a distance from Yunlan Palace.

Arriving at the North Imperial Garden, it was August, and all the flowers were in full bloom.

The chrysanthemums, in particular, of various grades, were taken very well.

“Nian Nian, look!” Xia Youmi stopped and admired a chrysanthemum she had never seen before, which looked like a rare variety. The ray florets were flat and had multiple whorls of petals that curled inwards. The petals were jade white with a few specks of pale red mixed in, and the center was pale yellow, resembling a lotus flower. (1)

"It's so beautiful! Youmi, take a closer look from different angles, we can use it as inspiration for our paintings."

"Okay!" Xia Youmi bent down and carefully examined it.

I asked the young eunuch who was tending to the flowers and plants, and learned that the variety was called "Yu Hu Chun".

"Look at this ignorant fool!" A sneer rang out.

Xia Youmi ignored him, first examining the petals from various angles before slowly straightening her back. Those who lack such tact are often cannon fodder; her response was already being too accommodating.

The visitor was none other than Liang Xun, the most troublesome woman in the palace and the most well-connected woman below the rank of concubine.

The daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue, she was a typical example of someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. She dedicated herself to provoking every newcomer to her household, then categorized them as either easy or difficult to deal with.

Xia Youmi was one of the fish that slipped through her net.

When she first entered the Prince's mansion, her family background and rank were all higher than his, so she didn't easily clashed with them. In fact, before they could even meet a second time, the dynasty changed.

After the kneeling ceremony and the relocation of the palace have calmed down.

Just discovered,

This virtuous concubine never leaves the palace?
