Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

When Sheng Yuan woke up, he felt dizzy, uncomfortable, and weak.

"Third Young Master, Third Young Master is awake!"

The boy kneeling beside Sheng Yuan's bed saw that Sheng Yuan had woken up and hurriedly called out to him.

A doctor with gray hair came in, took Sheng Yuan's pulse, prescribed some medicine, and then left, his attitude indifferent and his departure nonchalant.

Sheng Yuan kept observing the surrounding environment.

It's clearly an ancient world, and this person probably isn't very wealthy.

The clothes she was wearing were made of good material, and the whole outfit was simple and clean.

The room was small and more like a temporary dwelling.

The doctor left, leaving only Shengyuan and the servant in the room.

"Even if the Third Young Master doesn't want to marry the son of the Marquis of Jingyuan's family, he can't joke around with his own body. What will happen if Aunt Yao finds out!"

Sheng Yuan frowned as he listened. What dynasty was this? And who were these two people? He needed more time to look at the information.

"Go get the medicine first."

Sheng Yuan dismissed the others, and the boy obediently left.

Only Sheng Yuan remained in the entire room.

[Sticky and chewy.]

[Yes, host.]

[Zhou Fuyun, the seventh prince born to Consort Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, with the support of Prime Minister Xu Wenyu, Marquis of Beiwei Liu Xuan, and Marquis of Jingyuan Feng Cibai, successfully seized the throne and became the new emperor. Amidst instability in the court and threats on the borders, he used his intelligence to successfully balance the power dynamics between the court and the harem, ultimately becoming one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history.]

[This was shortly after Zhou Fuyun ascended the throne, and the imperial examination was in five days. The host was one of the candidates, Pei Ze, courtesy name Shengyuan, an illegitimate son of the Pei family, a wealthy landlord family in Suzhou. Pei Ze's birth mother was sold to the Pei family as a concubine because her family of over ten people couldn't afford food. He wanted to change his fate and make a name for himself through the imperial examination.]

[Unexpected events always strike suddenly. Feng Yun, the second son of Marquis Jingyuan, who is now the master, was born weak and sickly due to insufficient fetal strength. Recently, his condition worsened, and he fell into a deep sleep. Even the imperial physicians could not help. Marquis Jingyuan and his wife, having exhausted all other options, sought out a fortune teller at the State Temple to find a man born in Suzhou on the 18th day of the sixth month of the 25th year of Xusheng at 5:15 PM to marry him and bring him good fortune, which would avert disaster.]

[Coincidentally, this man was none other than Pei Ze, the original incarnation of the deceased. While there were precedents for male marriages in the Zhou Dynasty, such unusual circumstances were always looked down upon by the people of Zhou. The Jingyuan Marquis's family only hoped that Feng Yun could safely overcome this crisis, so upon learning of Pei Ze's ambitions, they were willing to compromise and allow Feng Yun to marry him. However, this would ultimately eliminate the possibility of having a legitimate son. The Jingyuan Marquis was willing to provide a large dowry and pave the way for her in the court, on the condition that Pei Ze marry his own son.]

The original owner of this body dared not offend Marquis Jingyuan, nor was he willing to give up the benefits of having Marquis Jingyuan paving the way for him. However, he also did not want to marry a man and be scorned and ridiculed by the world. In the end, he still agreed to the conditions of Marquis Jingyuan and his wife, and married Feng Yun shortly after the imperial examination. Feng Yun miraculously woke up and, upon learning that she had been married off by her parents, did not have much of a reaction. Although they were married, Pei Ze and Feng Yun still slept in separate rooms. Pei Ze always felt that he was not gay and did not want to have too much interaction with Feng Yun, nor was he afraid of catching Feng Yun's illness.

The political situation at court was constantly shifting. The unexpected death of Marquis Jingyuan threw his household into chaos. Feng Yun, overwhelmed with grief and neglected, fell ill and died. When Feng Yun's elder brother, Feng Chang, stabilized the situation, he found his brother lying lifeless in bed, and was overcome with sorrow. Even after Feng Yun's death, Feng Chang continued to fulfill his father's promise to pave the way for Pei Ze's career. However, Pei Ze died in a scheme orchestrated by Emperor Zhou Fuyun, becoming an insignificant pawn in a game of chance.

This is actually a court story mainly about palace intrigue, where the emperor establishes a harem, and the harem is closely related to the court.

Just as Sheng Yuan finished processing all the information, the servant Liu Jun came in carrying the medicine.

"Prepare some gifts; we are going to visit Marquis Jingyuan tomorrow."

Sheng Yuan drank the entire bowl of bitter medicine in one gulp and then gave instructions to Liu Jun.

"Yes," Liu Jun replied, taking the bowl that originally contained the medicine out as well.

The Pei family was an ordinary landlord family in Suzhou. Pei's father had a principal wife, Wang, and five concubines. Among them, the most favored concubine was Luo, while the original owner's birth mother, Yao, was the least noticeable one.

Wang and Luo each had two sons and one daughter. The original owner was the third child, with Pei Cheng, Wang's legitimate brother, and Pei Zhou, Luo's half-brother. The two of them were resting in two other rooms in the courtyard, preparing for the imperial examination.

Pei's father, Wang, Luo, and Yao all came.

When Aunt Yao received the news, she came to see her son, but as a concubine, she could not stay in the young master's room for too long, so she only said a few words and left.

The original owner's grades were below the two of them. Usually, Pei Cheng and Pei Zhou would compete with each other, while the original owner and Aunt Yao always chose to protect themselves.

Therefore, the Pei family did not pay much attention to Pei Ze. When they learned that Marquis Jingyuan had come to propose marriage to Pei Ze, they mostly watched the show and laughed at him. The father was happy to learn that he could get close to the Marquis's family, except for Aunt Yao.

It's certainly a good thing to be associated with the Marquis of Jingyuan's family, but for a scholar to have such a bad reputation is simply not worth it.

Sheng Yuan doesn't care about reputation, as long as she's his lover.

Aunt Yao watched her child nod in agreement without saying anything more. The master had agreed, so the matter was settled. It was better for her child to accept it calmly than to be depressed all day long.

The next morning, Sheng Yuan took Liu Jun and gifts to the Marquis of Jingyuan's residence.

Lady Chen, the wife of Marquis Jingyuan, was sitting by Feng Yun's bedside, trying to hold back her tears, but she couldn't.

"My Yoona, why is your life so miserable!"

Just as Madam Chen was grieving, a young maidservant entered.

"Madam, Young Master Pei has arrived. The Marquis requests that you come to the front hall to discuss the matter of a marriage to bring good fortune."

Upon hearing this, Chen's eyes lit up instantly.

"Are you telling the truth? Young Master Pei has agreed?"

"This servant dares not lie. The Marquis did indeed invite you to the front hall to discuss the matter of the marriage to bring good luck." The maid was frightened by the lady's agitated appearance and quickly knelt down to confirm that what she said was true.

Madam Chen dared not delay, fearing that if she waited any longer, this young master Pei would change his mind.

"Thank goodness, my son is saved! He's saved..."

Chen walked very fast, muttering to herself, as if she could already see the joy on her face as Feng Yun woke up.

Marquis Jingyuan was surprised that Young Master Pei would come in person, and that he didn't seem embarrassed at all.

While Shengyuan was chatting with Marquis Jingyuan, he saw a woman whose eyes were swollen from crying and who looked tired and haggard. This was Fengyun's birth mother and also Marquis Jingyuan's wife, Lady Chen.

As soon as Madam Chen arrived, she chatted warmly with Sheng Yuan about the marriage. It was clear that she was very anxious, even though this was something she should have been discussing with Madam Pei.

This is her son. If he were to marry, it would inevitably damage his reputation. Also, the preparation time was rushed, so they planned to hold a low-key ceremony, but the proper gifts would not be omitted.

Sheng Yuan readily agreed, but he requested to meet Feng Yun.

After a moment's hesitation, seeing that Marquis Jingyuan nodded, Chen nodded as well, and the three of them went to Feng Yun's courtyard.

Sheng Yuan entered the room, which was filled with a bitter medicinal smell. He followed Jing Yuanhou and Chen Shi into the room and saw Feng Yun lying on the bed, almost bloodless and fast asleep.

Chen couldn't help but shed tears as soon as she saw her son, and Marquis Jingyuan could only offer her some quiet words of comfort.

Sheng Yuan walked to the bedside on his own and looked down at Feng Yun.
