Kangxi's Consort Hui

Ongoing: A Concubine So Charming. Please add it to your collection [Warlord of a Chaotic Age vs. Widowed Noblewoman with a Child] The sixth year of the Yuanzhen reign under Emperor Yongshun. Zhao Zongkai launched a campaign in the northwest. Tens of thousands of troops swept across the north, poised to strike. That year, natural and man-made disasters followed one another. Rebels captured one prefecture after another, famine struck repeatedly, bandits rose everywhere, ambitious warlords took flight like eagles, the realm was shattered, and the people suffered terribly. The Great Yong dynasty teetered on the brink. That year, Zhou Songyi took her child home to visit her family. While passing through Henei, she encountered Zhao Zongkai. * The Zhou clan of Ruzhou was a prestigious family with a century of history. Its women were famed beauties, and the women of the Sixth Branch were especially renowned for their unparalleled beauty. Several years ago, the Zhou clan married into the Lu clan of Wujun. The bride's beauty became famous throughout the realm, and no one could forget the peerless beauty. At that time, Zhao Zongkai was making his third appeal at the palace gate, passing through Henei. Henei had once been prosperous and populous. Now, bones lay exposed in the wilderness, and for a thousand miles not a single rooster crowed. It was a heartbreaking sight. He encountered a woman surrounded by attendants and adorned with jade and pearls, impossible to miss. He sent someone to ask who she was. The reply came: She is a daughter of the Zhou clan, newly widowed and returning to visit her family in Ruzhou. Zhao Zongkai glanced at those around him. "I have heard that the Zhou woman is peerlessly beautiful, the finest of her age. She is still young. Can I see her now?" * In the northwest, the northern winds blew fiercely and the people were rugged, utterly unlike those of Ruzhou and Liangzhou. Zhou Songyi felt ill at ease wherever she sat or stood. What first drew Zhou Songyi to Zhao Zongkai was the confidence and spirit in his features. A murderous air seemed to cling to him, and his sharp eyes fixed on her like she was prey, full of aggression. Zhou Songyi knew he had killed many people. He was nothing like her late husband, who had taken her on spring outings and exchanged poetry and books with her. The History of Jin, Annals of Emperor Taizu, records: In the sixth year of Yuanzhen, the emperor met the Noble Consort at Henei. He smiled by the riverbank, never forgetting the dream of his youth. In midwinter, he welcomed the consort to Linru. Note: Both leads are not virgins. Coercive possession. Inspired by the late Tang period. Synopsis: Empress Xiaomu Ren, of the Nala clan, was a member of the Plain Yellow Banner of Manchuria and the daughter of Suoerhe, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Justice. She was a consort of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty. The Nala woman was initially a secondary consort. In the ninth year of Kangxi, she gave birth to Prince Chengqing; in the eleventh year, she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, Yinti. In the sixth month of the fourteenth year of Kangxi, she was made Consort Hui. Later, after earning merit protecting the emperor, she was made a consort. In the twentieth year, she was promoted to Noble Consort. Together with Noble Consort Tong and Noble Consort Niu, she administered the imperial harem. In the forty-first year, she was made empress, and that same year became Empress Dowager. She lived to the age of 101, the longest-lived empress or consort in Qing history. The story of Consort Hui's rise through the palace intrigues, in a Qing transmigration setting. Note: 1. This is a semi-alternate history; historical details may not be rigorously accurate. Upcoming novel: The Cannon-Fodder Older Sister of the Campus Novel's Male Lead Liang Zhixia transmigrated into a book, landing in a campus romance novel as the male lead's cannon-fodder stepsister. In the original story, the original Liang Zhixia was fair-skinned and beautiful, but spoiled and horrible. She constantly bullied the poor male lead. This included, but was not limited to, deliberately restricting his pocket money so he had to go to school hungry, getting people to beat him up, and making his life difficult in every way... After years of silently enduring humiliation, the male lead eventually became a billionaire CEO. The original Liang Zhixia naturally suffered the consequences of her actions and ended up homeless on the streets with her parents. Liang Zhixia: ...I don't want to end up on the streets. Just as Liang Zhixia was preparing to make a grand entrance, she transmigrated again... She looked at the male lead, who barely reached the height of the table, and fell into thought. Wait, is there still time to be nice to him? * After Zhou Guican's parents died in a car accident, his relatives passed him around like a ball, none of them willing to raise him. Only the Liang couple agreed to adopt him. When he first arrived at the Liang home, he saw the proud, adorable Liang Zhixia surrounded by everyone like a porcelain doll, and Zhou Guican liked her. But the more he tried to please Liang Zhixia, the more she disliked him. Gradually, Zhou Guican learned to ignore her. After all, everything he cherished would leave him. Better not to have it from the start. But Zhou Guican never expected that one day he would see pity and kindness in Liang Zhixia's eyes. Message: May peace reign throughout the realm, and may the seasons be favorable and the harvests abundant.
