Quick Transmigration: The main focus is on speed.

Qi Yuan, too lazy to watch the emperor perform the tea ceremony in front of her, tugged at the crown prince's sleeve to indicate that she wanted to get off. The crown prince was still coaxing his weak and helpless old father, and when he felt his younger brother tugging at him, he quickly looked over again.

"Brother Crown Prince, I want to go down."

"Oh, okay." The crown prince squatted down, Qi Yuan jumped to the ground, rolled his eyes at the old emperor, and ran away.

"Fourth brother, slow down, be careful not to fall." The crown prince was worried about Qiyuan, but he couldn't leave his father here alone, so he could only call out in Qiyuan's direction.

"My dear son, what did you just say to me? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again." The emperor pulled the crown prince away, not letting him leave. The crown prince had no choice but to sincerely praise his father again, which made the emperor beam with joy, saying that the crown prince had the demeanor of a crown prince.

Crown Prince: Does flattery make one a proper heir apparent? Does becoming emperor require first learning how to flatter?

The Crown Prince didn't understand, but he was willing to learn. After seeing the Emperor off, the Crown Prince read the prayer and then went into his study. He had a eunuch find many flattering phrases and studied them word by word. He had a premonition that he would use them, and later, as he predicted, the future Emperor Emeritus and his fourth brother would often come to him to hear his praises. This forced the Crown Prince, who had already ascended the throne, to gather even more words of praise, and the Imperial Study even had special bookshelves to display these books.

At night, Qi Yuan was carried to the emperor's bedroom, where she yawned and listened to the emperor's rambling.

"My divine being, please, can you save my Empress? If she doesn't die, will Tian'er's body not be taken away by someone else...?"

"My lord, you've been here all day, have you noticed anything amiss?"

"My lord, how is Yuan'er? Is he bored?"

"My lord..."

...The emperor's questions came one after another, and the prayers were filled with so much sleepiness that the person asking them kept yawning.

"Can save. Yes. No. Good. No." Each answer was concise and to the point. It took the emperor a while to understand what the prayer was about.

"My divine being, even the Empress isn't dying, so why is Tian'er being poisoned? Please save Tian'er!" The Emperor was truly desperate. His Tian'er was so good, loving towards his younger brother, praising him, and being both filial and sensible.

"When the time is right, a solution will come. Stop nagging. Also, read less storybooks, lest you raise a green tea emperor." Qi Yuan was extremely sleepy. The original owner's body was still a five-year-old child, an age when one should sleep a lot. It was already midnight, no wonder he was sleepy.

When the emperor heard the storybook, a blush rose on his face, but the sleeping Qi Yuan didn't see it, otherwise she would have felt her eyes hurt.

Three days later, on the day the Empress was to select a noble lady for the Crown Prince, Qi Yuan, unusually, did not go anywhere and stayed by the Empress's side, watching the exquisitely beautiful little girls below. Finally, he spotted the young Liu Ruyan in a corner.

Can anyone tell him why Liu Ruyan, who is only five years old, was allowed to enter the palace?

"Mother, is that young lady also here for a matchmaking? But the Crown Prince is already ten years old. If we choose her as the Crown Princess, won't he have to wait for several years?" Qi Yuan whispered in the Empress's ear. The Empress looked in the direction Qi Yuan was pointing and indeed saw a four or five-year-old girl. She immediately frowned.

"Granny Rong, go and see which family's young lady that is? Why is she in the palace?" In the Empress's memory, she had never seen Liu Ruyan before, so when she suddenly saw this young and unfamiliar girl, she subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with this person.

The noble ladies below were still performing their talents when Rong Momo went out for a while and soon returned to whisper a few words in the Empress's ear.

"Hmm, have someone keep a close eye on her, lest she cause any trouble. We'll discuss it after the flower-viewing banquet." The Empress frowned slightly. Knowing Liu Ruyan's identity, she secretly blamed the aristocratic family for their lack of discretion. Even if they wanted to send someone to the Eastern Palace, was it really necessary to send a four- or five-year-old girl? What kind of people did they take the royal family for?

Moreover, this flower-viewing banquet, ostensibly an invitation for noble ladies to come to the palace to appreciate the flowers, was in reality an opportunity for the Empress to select the future Crown Princess. As for why the selection was being made so early, wasn't it simply a way to secure the future Crown Prince and Crown Princess so that they could have more contact and a harmonious relationship in the future?

Now that the Crown Prince is already ten years old, anyone who can spend time with him should be at least eight years old. Does the Liu family send a little girl so that the Crown Prince can raise her?

In fact, the Liu family had no such intention. They simply wanted Liu Ruyan to come in and have a chance encounter with the Crown Prince. They didn't need to do anything more than let her interact with the Crown Prince and perhaps pluck a few strands of his hair.

In her previous life, Liu Ruyan had already completed her family's mission. While the noble ladies were showcasing their talents, she secretly ran away without being noticed by the Empress.

Following the maid's instructions, Liu Ruyan bumped into the Crown Prince as she wished. The Crown Prince saw that she was a girl and did not pay any attention to her, nor did he think that there was a difference between men and women. He picked up the crying Liu Ruyan and went to find Rong Momo.

It was at this moment that Liu Ruyan found an opportunity to obtain the prince's hair, which enabled her to succeed in her witchcraft later on.

Watching Rong Momo leave, Qi Yuan also pretended to be impatient, squirming her little body in the Empress's arms.

"Is Yuan'er bored? Why don't you go find your brothers?" The Empress noticed the little one's movements and asked in a low voice.

Qi Yuan nodded vigorously, got off the ground, and dashed out in a flash.

Before the Crown Prince could meet Liu Ruyan, she rushed into his arms.

"Crown Prince, hug me." Qi Yuan suddenly asked for a hug, which startled the Crown Prince. You see, Qi Yuan always complained that he wasn't strong enough. Why was she suddenly asking him to hug her today? Could it be that she felt that his martial arts training had made some progress recently?

The prince picked up Qiyuan. Hmm, how should I put it? It's still so heavy. It seems I should add half an hour, no, an hour to my daily martial arts practice.

The prayer remained hanging on the Crown Prince's body. After walking for a while, he finally saw Liu Ruyan's figure in the distance. The maid beside her pointed in the direction the Crown Prince was pointing. Liu Ruyan looked up in the direction the maid was pointing, then rubbed her eyes hard with both hands and walked towards the Crown Prince with her head down.

Although its legs were short, it was quite fast, and in no time it collided with the prince.

"Ouch, that hurts..." After successfully staging the accident, Liu Ruyan burst into tears. When she looked up, she realized that she had bumped into a young eunuch, and she almost couldn't contain her shock.

Her mother didn't teach her what to do if she bumped into someone other than the Crown Prince. What should she do now?

Liu Ruyan was confused, but the Crown Prince couldn't bear to see the little girl cry. He held Qiyuan and squatted down to check Liu Ruyan's injuries.

Qi Yuan saw Liu Ruyan staring blankly at the Crown Prince's face, completely unaware that she was in the Crown Prince's arms.

Pshaw, such a young age and already obsessed with looks!

"Hug me, it hurts." Liu Ruyan seemed oblivious to the four-clawed python robe on the Crown Prince's body. With tears in her eyes, she reached out for a hug. Perhaps her eyes were blurred by tears, because Liu Ruyan still hadn't seen the wish in the Crown Prince's arms.

Seeing Liu Ruyan's state, the Crown Prince was momentarily embarrassed. It was absolutely impossible for him to put his younger brother down and carry a reckless girl who had appeared out of nowhere.

Then Liu Ruyan felt her body suddenly lift into the air and fall into someone's arms.

Just as they were about to rejoice, they heard the Crown Prince's voice.

"Xia Zi, escort this young lady to the Empress Dowager's palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty." A voice answered from above, and Liu Ruyan then realized that the person holding her was not the Crown Prince, but a young eunuch.

"Brother, hug me." Liu Ruyan wanted to curse, but considering that the person in front of her was the Crown Prince, she couldn't afford to offend him. She glared at Qi Yuan secretly, then stretched out her hands to the Crown Prince with a pitiful expression.

Qi Yuan found it amusing; at such a young age, she already knew how to act weak and pitiful. Why not grant her wish? Otherwise, who knows what methods she would use to scheme against her brother, the Crown Prince, next time.

“Brother Crown Prince, I can walk by myself.” Qi Yuan patted the Crown Prince’s arm, signaling him to put her down. She received a 'good thing' look from Liu Ruyan.

The Crown Prince refused, saying, "Ah Yuan, I can carry you." The Crown Prince wouldn't let go, and Liu Ruyan cried even louder.

"Crown Prince, it's too noisy! Hurry up and pick her up, it's so annoying!" Qi Yuan covered her ears and was about to jump down. The Crown Prince was afraid that Qi Yuan would get hurt, so he had to squat down and put Qi Yuan down. He then frowned and glanced at Liu Ruyan with displeasure.

In the end, Liu Ruyan nestled in the Crown Prince's arms as she wished. However, the Crown Prince had a sour face and followed behind the two of them, observing Liu Ruyan's movements, ready to switch her at any moment.

Watching Liu Ruyan reach out her little hand and touch the prince's hair, then clench her little fist tightly and never let go.

Upon arriving at the Empress's palace, the Crown Prince impatiently handed the girl over to Rong Momo, and after saying a few words like "This girl has no manners," he pulled Qiyuan away.

The moment Liu Ruyan was separated from the Crown Prince's embrace, Qi Yuan switched Liu Ruyan's hair with the Crown Prince's hair.

Even before arriving in this small world, Qi Yuan knew that this kind of witchcraft was extremely costly, and that even with the combined resources of the entire aristocratic family, it could only be performed once. Therefore, as long as she could avoid this one, she figured that with the emperor and the original owner of this body around, the crown prince would be safe from any future minor squabbles. Not to mention, the crown prince himself was no pushover; he simply hadn't expected witchcraft to exist in his previous life.

The only question is whether the aristocratic families will go crazy after Qin Shou takes over Liu Ruyan's body once the spell is successfully cast.

I hope you enjoy watching the show.

On the day the Empress was supposed to die, the Qin family began to perform a ritual. Qin Shou committed suicide in front of the prepared ceremony, praying as he watched as his spirit body floated out of his body and drifted straight towards the Liu family.

Qin Shou thought it was because he was interested in his little sister Liu Ruyan, and didn't notice anything amiss. He even planned to take a good look at this little girl and see if she would become the crown prince in the future.

The next moment, Qin Shou's soul was sucked into Liu Ruyan's body. Before entering, Qin Shou looked terrified and shocked, shouting, "Wrong, wrong, wrong person! I'm going to be the crown prince!"

Unfortunately, no one could hear his shouts.

The instant Qin Shou became Liu Ruyan, Qi Yuan crushed a stack of Five Thunder Talismans in his hand.

In the clear blue sky, a huge bolt of lightning suddenly appeared above the Qin mansion and fell straight down. The next moment, the onlookers scattered and fled. All they heard was the sound of houses collapsing. When they came to their senses, the Qin mansion was already a pile of ruins.

The people hesitated and dared not step forward, and in the end, no one from the Qin family survived.

Because a ritual was to be performed today, the servants of the Qin family were given a day off and were not at home. Therefore, the prayers did not implicate the innocent, and all those who died were members of the Qin family, so they did not have to bear any sins.

After further divination, Qi Yuan saw that the Kingdom of Qi would flourish under the Crown Prince's rule and that all the princes would achieve their wishes, before leaving his body.

Turn

"Crown Prince, I missed you so much!" As soon as the original owner woke up, she ran to the Crown Prince's bedchamber without even putting on her shoes, and threw herself into his arms as soon as she saw him.

"Did you have a nightmare, Yuan'er? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your Crown Prince brother is here." The Crown Prince had never seen his younger brother cry before. He was usually good enough if he made others cry, but seeing the original owner cry suddenly made the Crown Prince feel very sorry for him. Especially when he saw that the original owner had run over without even wearing shoes, and there was blood seeping from his little feet, he felt even more sorry for him and comforted him repeatedly.

When the emperor received the news that the Qin family had been struck by lightning and no one had survived, he immediately rushed to the Crown Prince's palace. As soon as he entered, he saw the original owner of the body in the Crown Prince's arms, crying as if his own father had died.

Without even thinking, he knew that the little boy in front of him must be his good son, and that the Qin family must have been punished by the gods.

The emperor looked the crown prince up and down, and only felt relieved after seeing that there was nothing wrong with him. When he saw that his fourth son was unwilling to leave the crown prince's embrace, and remembering the suffering his fourth son had endured in his previous life, he didn't say much and went to the empress's palace for comfort.

Because the original prince made quite a fuss, the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince soon came running over, while the sixth prince was brought over by his wet nurse.

The six brothers huddled together, and for some reason, perhaps influenced by the original owner of the body, they all cried uncontrollably, including the usually calm and composed Crown Prince.

After crying, seeing their brothers' red eyes, they all burst out laughing again.

When the crown prince turned eighteen, the emperor abdicated and became the retired emperor, moving to a temporary palace with the empress dowager and the imperial concubines.

After coming of age, the second prince became a mighty general, winning every battle he fought. The new emperor never feared his younger brother, whom he had watched grow up, and directly entrusted him with the military command. The second prince did not disappoint his elder brother's trust, and in his lifetime, he expanded the territory of the Qi Kingdom by more than double.

The third prince accepted the order and became an imperial envoy, traveling throughout the vast land of Qi. He not only compiled a map of Qi, but also wielded his elder brother's imperial sword to right wrongs and punish injustices. Later, not content with Qi, he traveled to various other countries, drawing maps of each and contributing significantly to the second prince's territorial expansion.

The sixth prince became the Buddhist disciple and national teacher of the Qi Kingdom as he wished. He actually managed to grasp some of the secrets and lived for more than two hundred years, which also increased the lifespan of the royal family.

Only the original owner and the fifth prince became famous playboy princes in the Qi Kingdom. The two never married and devoted themselves to eating, drinking and having fun. They even developed many entertainment projects and recipes, which greatly improved the living standards of the people. This can also be considered another way of serving the country and the people.

When the Crown Prince Qitian turned eighteen, he abdicated like the retired emperor. However, unlike the retired emperor, he had five brothers, so the current retired emperor would often appear beside his brothers.

The people on the frontier saw the Emperor Emeritus become the military strategist; the people who went to the temple to pray for blessings saw the Emperor Emeritus become a lay disciple; the diners in the restaurants saw the Emperor Emeritus become the manager; the guests who liked to listen to music saw the Emperor Emeritus become the manager of the opera troupe; and the travelers who went to foreign lands saw the Emperor Emeritus appear in other countries' territories.

As for Liu Ruyan, the original owner and the emperor did pay attention to her for a while, but it was really quite boring.

After Qin Shou became Liu Ruyan, she was unaccustomed to being a woman and unintentionally seduced many men. Eventually, she drifted between various men and even enjoyed it. However, this brought considerable stain to the Liu family, a family with a history of hundreds of years.

Other aristocratic families, seeing the fates of the Qin and Liu families, dared not act rashly and even tried to make some underhanded moves, but Qi Tian and others noticed and thwarted them one by one. When the aristocratic families finally managed to recuperate and were ready to regroup and overthrow the dynasty, they discovered that they were actually worse off than ordinary people.

The aristocratic families, working in isolation and unaware of the outside world, were initially unable to accept the changes in the Qi Kingdom. However, the younger generation of their clans, unwilling to be confined at home, went out to broaden their horizons.

As a result, the aristocratic families gradually declined, and their scions, through their travels and experiences, began to doubt the education they had received since childhood. In the end, those with ability entered the court to serve as officials and benefit the people, while those without ability stayed at home, complaining and blaming the injustice of the world.

The aristocratic families were dispersed, and there were no more aristocratic families thereafter.
