Everyday Scandals with His Majesty

Blurb:

This novel is also known as The Tale of Yue Zhen and The Fine Daughters of the Jiang Clan.

The Jiang clan bears lovely daughters, graceful and beautiful enough to captivate a city.

Jiang Yuezhen lived up to the saying. She was alluring and stunning, but her looks led the naive Third Prince to misunderstand her.

They first met at an inn, where the Third Prince argued with Jiang Yuezhen. Pointing at the beautiful woman before him, he said scornfully, "Stop putting on that aloof face. I won't let you seduce me."

Jiang Yuezhen was exhausted. Was it her fault she had the face of a seductive vixen?

She gave the haughty Third Prince a knowing smile and pointed casually upstairs. "I'd take him over you any day."

Emperor Zhaoming, visiting incognito on the second floor, felt as if he had been caught in the crossfire. His troublemaking son had gotten him into this mess.

Rumors spread throughout the capital that Ninth Miss Jiang of the Loyal Marquis's household, whose clan was famed for its beautiful daughters, had taken a fancy to a nameless tutor at an inn and even said she would marry him. How shameless!

Later, Emperor Zhaoming beckoned to the Third Prince, gazed fondly at the woman beside him, and smiled. "Huang'er, come greet your mother."

Third Prince Xiao Huang knelt before the beautiful woman, lowered his head, and obediently called, "Mother."

Jiang Yuezhen sat beside Emperor Zhaoming and smiled. "My third son is such a good boy."

The Third Prince was overwhelmed with regret. Could anyone in the world be more tragic than him? He'd only gotten into a fight on a whim with the sons of noble families, and somehow ended up wagering his own father and getting himself a stepmother. She was two years younger than him, and, even worse, he'd offended her before. What was he supposed to do?

Pre-release: A Qing Dynasty Harem Favorite Is Hard to Be

After waking up one day, Meng Siyu, who had transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty years ago, unexpectedly gained a memory that let her foresee the future.

In the future, her parents would marry her off to a local examinee to clear the way for her elder brother. The examinee would then offer Meng Siyu to various officials in exchange for advancement. He would rise to prominence, and the Meng family would prosper along with him, while Meng Siyu would die in a fire, her life cut short.

Now, the examinee was doing everything he could to coax her into attending a banquet, while a lecherous official regarded her as his for the taking.

She turned the jade thumb ring on her finger and smiled faintly. "Gentlemen, does Fourth Master know about this?"

Everyone stared in alarm at the rare jadeite ring. "..."

Using the name of an "old acquaintance," Meng Siyu bluffed her way past the crowd and made it out unharmed.

She never expected to turn around and run straight into the last person she wanted to see.

Yinzhen had thought that when he was reunited with Meng Siyu, he would humiliate her to his heart's content to avenge her for abandoning him after leading him on. But when he saw her beset on all sides, his heart softened and he blurted out, "Would you be willing to come with me?"

At least he could protect her and give her a worry-free life. That had to be better than becoming some examinee's wife!

Meng Siyu fell silent. The future Yongzheng Emperor was petty. Was he planning to take her back just to get revenge?

Later, Meng Siyu entered the household as a Han Chinese girl and gradually rose through the ranks, becoming a gege, a side consort, and then an imperial noble consort, enjoying his favor without end and drawing the envy of others.

Meng Siyu: Being a favored consort is so hard! He really did have bad intentions!

Emperor Yongzheng: Being a favored consort is hard? I had bad intentions? This is infuriating! Make her empress, mother of the realm. I'll prove myself!

This time, Ye Congyi didn't want to do everything herself just to pave the way for someone else, and Xie Yuancheng felt the same.

On their wedding day, the couple raised their cups, exchanged glances, and smiled. To hell with being regents! We're done!
