Consort Cheng's Harem: Raising Children in the Qing Dynasty

[Complete] Cheng Wan, a 996 overworked office drone, woke up in the Qing dynasty's imperial harem as a minor consort who had just given birth. The good news: the baby boy she gave birth to survived, so she became a mother without having to go through labor. The bad news: the boy was born with a leg disability. The emperor despised him, and his mother lost favor as a result. It turned out she had become Dai Jia, the Consort Cheng who spent her whole life as a minor consort and was only promoted to consort in the final years of the Kangxi Emperor's reign because of her age. And her son was the overlooked, pitiful Seventh Prince, an obscure figure in the struggle among the nine princes for the throne. Thinking of this, Cheng Wan hid under the covers and laughed, covering her mouth. Being Consort Cheng was great. She wouldn't have to take part in the harem's power struggles, and she could avoid the struggle among the nine princes at the end of Kangxi's reign. In history, the original Dai Jia had not only outlived Kangxi, but lived to nearly eighty. As long as she stayed healthy, she still had plenty of good years ahead! · After giving birth to the Seventh Prince, the neglected minor consort Dai Jia moved into the remote West Quarters and began a life of endless cold-palace solitude. But once the doors were shut, Cheng Wan kept herself busy and began her leisurely, health-conscious life: growing vegetables, making handicrafts, going to bed early and rising early, exercising, and playing with her little one. She was finally living the solitary, carefree life she had longed for back in the 996 era. A few months later, when Dai Jia appeared in public again, she had rosy lips, pearly teeth, and a healthy glow. She looked even more beautiful than before. The other consorts: Wait, living in the cold palace is that nice? · Cheng Wan had planned to survive by outliving the dynasty and making it to the next reign. Gradually, though, she began to sense that something was different. Thanks to her little inventions, she managed to get close to Imperial Noble Consort Tong. Her precious son also somehow ended up spending time with the Fourth Prince. Then Kangxi came to talk to her, too. One day, Consort Cheng, promoted twenty years ahead of schedule, fell into deep thought: This plot seems a little off. - - My next book will be My Little One Can't Possibly Be a Ferocious Beast!
