Yunxia's Quick Transmigration Journey

Chapter 15 Ancient Little Concubine's Daughter 5

On her way home from the Valley of Divine Physicians, Yun Xia took out an "Expired but Effective Fertility Pill" from her system space. Aside from the gender-based blind box, the pill was perfectly fine. To avoid arousing suspicion about its origin, Yun Xia specially coated the Fertility Pill with a fertility-enhancing pill given to her by the Third Elder. She prepared a total of 15 "enhanced fertility pills," a truly generous amount.

Hehehe, she'll be 11 years old after the New Year in her hometown. She'll then study poison making and detoxification with the Grand Elder for four more years. After completing her apprenticeship, she'll go out to gain experience, and no one in the world will be able to find her.

This was a perfect way to escape the feudal system of marriage at age 15. She was still a baby, and she didn't want to be trapped in the backyard competing with a group of women for one man after an early marriage. Choosing to become an apprentice of the Divine Healer Valley was the best protection for her to live a carefree life.

After traveling non-stop for more than half a month, Yunxia and the servants who came to take her home finally arrived home on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before the Lunar New Year.

After arriving home, Yunxia first paid her respects to her parents, then greeted her brothers, and finally visited her aunt before returning to her room to rest. The long journey had exhausted her.

The next morning, Yunxia got up early, washed up, and headed to the main courtyard.

He greeted Yunmu and said, "I have some private matters to discuss with Mother. May I ask if Mother could dismiss the servants for the time being?"

Yunmu was a clever woman. She immediately dismissed everyone around her, leaving only her personal nanny, and said, "Now everyone here is family. Nanny is no outsider. Xia'er, please speak freely."

Yunxia didn't mince words and said directly, "My mother has taken good care of me over the years. You and my father sent me a lot of supplies to the Divine Doctor Valley, and I am extremely grateful. I also want to do my best to relieve my mother's worries."

Hearing this, Yunmu's smile became even more amiable. "It's good that you have such filial piety. You don't need to be too hard on yourself. You're still young, so you don't need to worry about your family. Just take good care of yourself."

Yunxia smiled shyly, then said sincerely, "Your daughter knows that your sister has been in the Prince's mansion for several years, but has yet to have a child. Mother has been very worried about this."

Yunxia said, “My mother knows that I have been studying under the Divine Physician Valley for three years. Although I have not yet mastered anything, I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the elders in the valley. Before I left, she specially asked the Third Elder for some fertility-enhancing medicine for my sister.”

As she spoke, Yunxia took out three small porcelain bottles from her bosom, each bearing the inscription "Divine Healer Valley." She said, "Mother, these bottles contain a potent fertility-enhancing medicine. It's a fertility pill carefully prepared by the Third Elder using rare medicinal herbs. The Elder made a total of 10 pills, and I shamelessly begged three from him for free, which I gave to my eldest sister."

Upon hearing this, Yunmu was moved to tears. She took Yunxia's hand and said, "You are the most sensible child in the family, and you are a benefactor to your sister. I thank you on behalf of your sister."

Yunxia was most afraid of other people's enthusiasm and felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Yunxia's mother was a smart woman and saw through Yunxia's shyness at a glance. She then changed the subject and said, "Tomorrow, send a letter to the Prince's mansion and say that I am ill, so that she can come and visit me."

Yunxia said, "Mother, this medicine needs to be taken within six hours after intercourse. The Third Elder said that one pill is enough to conceive. Give one pill to my sister first, and keep the other two safe. Give her the second pill after her first child turns one year old. I guarantee that two pills will allow her to have two children in three years."

Yunmu nodded repeatedly, promising that Yun Wanrou would strictly follow her instructions to take the medicine.

Yunxia specifically instructed that she should not eat too much at once, otherwise it would be easy to have multiple pregnancies. You should know that medical care was not advanced in ancient times, and multiple pregnancies could easily lead to difficult labor. Yunmu nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After finishing her business, Yunxia returned home satisfied, along with a variety of exquisite ornaments given to her by her mother—hairpins, gold hairpins, hair ornaments, and more. Yunxia stored them all away in her private treasury, planning to transfer them into her "space" upon returning to the Valley of the Divine Healer.

Having a legitimate reason to send the fertility pill to the original owner's older sister can be considered a way to change the fate of her being sent home by the emperor.

She made no secret of her studies in the Divine Healer Valley, believing that many people would seek medicine from the valley after her sister became pregnant. At that time, she could use her senior brothers to sell each of Feng Ziye's women a fertility pill, ensuring the male protagonist had many children.

"Since the female lead doesn't mind that the male lead has had so many women, I'm sure she won't mind that he has many children either. She's such a good person." Thinking this, Yun Xia let out a wicked, cackling laugh.

The maids Xiao Cui and Xiao Guo exchanged glances. Their young lady was overjoyed to be home. It seemed that studying medicine in the Divine Doctor Valley had been too hard. The two maids immediately looked at Yun Xia with eyes that said, "Miss, you have suffered a lot," which made Yun Xia feel quite embarrassed.

Yunxia was having a very comfortable time at home. She would practice the piano whenever she had free time, even though her piano skills were just average. She would also paint, and even though her paintings were only so-so, Yunxia felt quite good about herself.

Her chess skills have improved, which is understandable; the masters in Divine Healer Valley play at least one game with her every day, so even a pig would improve. This time when she returns, she needs to learn more about the zither from the Third Elder to cultivate her character and elevate her worldly soul.

During this time, Yunxia also met with her eldest sister. It's unclear what her mother said to her, but Yun Wanrou immediately grabbed her hand upon seeing her, overcome with gratitude. "Sister, thank you for thinking of me all these years. When I have children, I'll definitely make sure they're filial to you."

Yunxia: "..." No need.

Yunxia's older sister is a beautiful woman as dignified and gentle as Yunxia's mother. If it weren't for the emperor's bestowal of a marriage, she would definitely be a qualified head mistress. After all, what legitimate daughter would want to become someone's concubine, unless it's the royal family?

Sister Yun, who was raised as the mistress of the house, disdained the means of vying for favor. Therefore, during her five years in the Prince's mansion, she could only be considered to have received mediocre favor. Although she was beautiful, everyone in the Prince's mansion was beautiful, just in different ways.

Now that Yun Wanrou is exactly 20 years old, her body is fully developed, making it the perfect time for her to have a child. Sure enough, a month later, the Prince's Mansion quietly sent someone with the good news. Yun Wanrou told the Sixth Prince as soon as she became pregnant, because no one was more eager for the birth of this child than the Prince, who had been childless for many years. He would definitely protect this child well, as it would be proof of his ability.

Soon they would be returning to the Valley of Divine Healers. Yunxia had painstakingly copied hundreds of popular poems in traditional Chinese characters over the past month, bound them up, and aged them before arriving at the most reputable bookstore in the capital. It was said that this bookstore was opened by a retired scholar.

"Shopkeeper, is your boss in? I have a family heirloom of poetry here, which contains works by many great poets. I'd like to print some so that more people can see it."

Dressed as a boy, Yun Xia very politely bowed to the shopkeeper with the formal respect due to a scholar. She had specifically asked the system to choose a day when the old Hanlin scholar was at the library before she arrived.

Sure enough, the commotion caught the attention of the old scholar, who slowly walked over and took the poetry collection from Yunxia's hands. He said, "I am the owner of this place. I've come to see your books, young man."

I only intended to glance at it casually, just to give the young man an explanation, but I never expected to find myself unable to stop reading. The book can be described as a compilation of works from various authors, and every poem is a masterpiece.

The old scholar asked excitedly, "Young friend, do you really agree to have this book printed and sold in our shop?"

Yunxia nodded in affirmation and said, "My father, upholding the legacy of our ancestors, is willing to donate this book free of charge, so that more students can benefit from it."

The old scholar was deeply moved, as this coincided with his purpose in opening the bookstore: simply to give students the opportunity to afford books. The bookstore barely made a profit; it was an act of kindness from the old scholar towards the students.

After removing her makeup, Yunxia swaggered home. Aunt Wang had been teaching her embroidery lately, but it was so frustrating! She couldn't learn it well. After a month, she could only embroider simple flowers and bamboo leaves, nothing more complex. In the end, Aunt Wang was so exasperated by her lack of understanding that she left.

Yunxia pulled out her trump card, the beauty cream researched by the Third Elder, which finally won back her aunt's heart. Of course, she also sent two bottles to Yunxia's mother and one bottle to Yunxia's father's other aunt. She was a master of balancing things, which was too difficult for her. She wondered how her cheap father usually managed to balance the three women in the courtyard.

After everything was ready, Yunxia planned to return to the Valley of Divine Healers. Before returning, she secretly played a big game.

She wrote many trendy statements in traditional Chinese characters to prevent printing, such as "equality for all," "equality between men and women," "who says women are inferior to men," "people should not be divided into high and low, noble and lowly, even maids and servants are people," "love should be one person for life," "concubines should not exist," and "freedom, democracy, and equality." At night, she used the toy drones she had stored in her space to scatter them into the mansion of the sixth prince.

Meanwhile, the Sixth Prince, upon waking up in the morning, was enraged to see the courtyard covered with "big-character posters." Seeing the words on the papers, he immediately collected those "filled with treasonous words" and rushed to the palace to meet the Emperor.

In the Golden Palace, the Emperor, seeing those "reactionary remarks," was so angry that he picked up a teacup and was about to smash it down. Seeing that his most trusted sixth prince was standing below, he changed direction halfway and smashed it. As a result, an unlucky little eunuch was hit squarely, wincing in pain but not daring to move an inch.

The sixth prince choked back tears, saying, "Father, my concubine is less than two months pregnant. The rebels' actions are a provocation against the royal family. Their statement that concubines should not exist is a threat to my imperial heir. They believe my pregnant concubine should not exist. I beg you, Father, to uphold justice."

The Sixth Prince bowed deeply to the Emperor, his eyes reddening. "In my concubine's courtyard, there are those who say things like, 'People shouldn't be divided into high and low, noble and lowly. Maids and servants are also people and should be respected.' They are extremely inciting and provocative. I dare not think that if even one servant is misled by those words and develops a rebellious heart, my only heir will be in danger."

When the emperor heard his most beloved son's tearful lament, he was overcome with paternal love and generously bestowed a large amount of gold and silver jewels upon the sixth prince.
