Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Ji Yan covered her face, looking at her father in disbelief.

Memories flashed through her mind, each one a picture of how her parents had loved her from childhood to adulthood.

Now that the family is in trouble, is she really going to become a pawn in the family's quest for a way out?

"Father, how could you do this to me!"

Ji Yan's voice was choked with sobs, sharp and desperate, "From childhood to adulthood, you have doted on me and loved me. I thought I was the most precious treasure in this family, but now? Whenever something happens to the family, they will push me out to become a concubine, a lowly person, and make me suffer all those grievances!"

Her shoulders trembled violently, and tears streamed uncontrollably from between her fingers.

"What did I do wrong? I just don't want to marry someone who doesn't respect me or value my family! Why don't you understand me? Why are you forcing me?"

Ji Yan's knees buckled, and she knelt before her father. "I don't want to be a sacrifice for the family. I don't want to live in the Wu Prince's mansion, having to be subservient to others! You keep saying you're doing this for my own good, but is this what you call 'good'?"

She looked up, her eyes filled with pain and accusation, staring intently at her father, as if trying to find a trace of heartache or wavering on his face.

"Yan'er..."

Ji's father regretted slapping her afterward. This was the daughter he and his wife had loved and raised; how could they really bear to let her become a concubine?

However, he was very clear about the current situation. The Crown Prince was expected to regain power, and given Ji Xiaosong's status and abilities, he was unlikely to let the Ji family off the hook.

At that time, if the children in the family have no one to protect them, it's uncertain whether they will survive!

He sighed deeply, his voice filled with weariness and vicissitude, "Yan'er, think about it. Now that the Crown Prince has Ji Xiaosong's help, his momentum is strong. Our Ji family treated her so coldly before, how could she let us off easily? Once the Crown Prince takes power, the first family he will target is the Ji family. At that time, our whole family will suffer!"

Ji's father held Ji Yan's hand tightly, his tone becoming urgent, "But if you marry into the Wu Prince's mansion, the situation will be different. The Wu Prince is the only non-royal prince, he holds great military power, and his prestige in the court is extremely high. If you become his concubine, you will have the Wu Prince's mansion as your backing, and even if the Crown Prince wants to touch the Ji family, he will have to think twice."

He leaned closer to Ji Yan, his eyes full of expectation, "Yan'er, you have been intelligent and resourceful since childhood, and your father has seen it all these years. The King of Wu has great ambitions and is in dire need of someone with your strategic mind to assist him."

"After you marry him, with your intelligence and wisdom, you will surely be able to devise strategies for the King of Wu and help him gain a foothold in this complex situation. If he can achieve great things, our Ji family will also benefit from it."

"The sacrifices you have made for the family will surely bring you unparalleled glory in the future. At that time, the entire Ji family will be distinguished because of you. What do these grievances we have suffered matter then?"

As Ji Yan listened to her father's words, a hint of wavering gradually appeared in her eyes, which were originally filled with despair.

She bit her lower lip, her mind filled with images of the Ji family's past glory and present decline, as well as the potential annihilation they might face in the future.

"Father, is everything you're saying true?"

Ji Yan's voice was still a little choked up, but she no longer resisted as before.

Father Ji nodded vigorously, “Of course, Yan’er. As long as you put your heart into it, you will definitely become his right-hand man.”

Ji Yan slowly stood up, the confusion in her eyes gradually replaced by determination.

She took a deep breath. "Alright, Father, I'll marry him. Since this is the only way out for the Ji family, I'll give it my all. I want everyone to know that even if I, Ji Yan, become a concubine, I will not be looked down upon!"

That evening, Ji's father disguised himself and entered the Wu King's residence.

It is unknown what they discussed, but the plan to send Ji Yan to the Wu King's residence the next day was delayed by seven days.

Seven days later, the wedding procession arrived at the Ji residence in a grand procession.

Ji Yan was dressed in a reddish-brown concubine's auspicious robe, with kingfisher feather hairpins on her head. Although her attire was not as elaborate as that of the principal wife, it was still exquisite.

Upon arriving at the Prince's residence, after performing the rites of paying respects to Heaven and Earth and to one's parents, Ji Yan was led into the bridal chamber in the side courtyard.

Afterwards, King Wu received congratulations from the guests and drank the nuptial wine with Ji Yan, thus completing the ceremony of welcoming the concubine into the family.

Both sides saved face, and neither mentioned again that Ji Yan should have been the Princess Consort of Wu.

Since Ji Xiaosong took over the management of the Eastern Palace and the royal family's affairs, everyone has found that their lives have undergone earth-shattering changes.

Not only do we no longer have to be stingy with our meals, but we can finally eat three full meals a day.

Especially the guards, who are martial artists and have a large appetite, can eat as much as they want now that Ji Xiaosong is in charge, and they have meat with every meal.

Fruits and vegetables are fresh every day.

In particular, the Imperial Wardrobe, which used to sew patches for the royal family, is now finally free from such toil and can freely display its superb skills to create gorgeous dresses and exquisite embroidery.

Of course, she didn't just spend without earning.

She skillfully integrated resources and expanded her sources of income.

Not only did he manage the Crown Prince's businesses with great success, but he also significantly increased the royal family's various revenues.

She treated her servants with kindness and generosity, and rewarded all those who made contributions.

This made the servants in the Eastern Palace extremely grateful and serve them wholeheartedly.

The other princes, dressed in the new clothes sent by the Imperial Wardrobe, along with the silver and food provided, would chat with their wives behind closed doors:

"We must all support our sister-in-law from now on. With her around, we can enjoy our good life for a few more years. She's only the Crown Princess now, yet she can provide us with such a good life. I can't even imagine how comfortable she'll be when she becomes Empress!"

Ji Xiaosong's prestige in the palace grew daily, and none of her younger siblings disobeyed her orders.

A month later, Ji Xiaosong should also go to Qiongshan to collect herbs.

Chu Qingyun looked at the carriage, her face full of grievance.

"Song'er, when will you return? Can't I stay with you?"

"No, don't forget to complete the task your father assigned you as soon as possible. You are the crown prince of the country, and you must shoulder your responsibilities. I will be away in Qiongshan for at least a month, and at most three months. I have already explained the affairs of the mansion clearly, so you don't need to worry."

"Then you'll miss me, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Ji Xiaosong really didn't expect that Chu Qingyun, who was reserved and dignified in front of others, always seemed like a pitiful little thing who lacked love in front of her.

Whenever he returns to the Eastern Palace, he will always find me first before doing anything else.

Since their marriage, the two have been inseparable, like conjoined twins.

After appeasing Chu Qingyun, Ji Xiaosong took Zixi to Qiongshan.

Qiongshan is a remote and unique place.

This mountain rises majestically from the ground, standing proudly against the sky, like a sharp sword piercing the heavens, displaying its magnificent and awe-inspiring appearance.

The steep cliffs and craggy rocks, as if carved by an axe or knife, are so precipitous that they inspire awe.

The mountaintop, bathed in the interplay of light and shadow, appears as if ignited by golden divine fire, dazzling and radiant.

Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, Qiongshan stands out even more, its rugged beauty resembling an immortal legend of heaven and earth.

It took Ji Xiaosong half a month to use his spiritual power to control the horses and quickly reach the foot of Qiongshan Mountain.
