Also known as: The Many-Children Consort, My Cheat Is My Nanny, My Mother Is More Like the Main Character
As a child, Nian Jinyao nestled in her mother's arms and listened to her tell stories of old.
Jia Wei: Your maternal family were founding heroes. Back then, my grandfather and granduncle followed Emperor Taizong through life-and-death battles. Once the country was established, they were both made dukes, and all nine branches of the Jia family rose in status. Later, your maternal grandfather inherited the family estate. He was brave and skilled in battle, earning many military honors, and when he inherited the title, His Majesty allowed it to pass directly to him. He remained the first-rank Duke of Rong.
Nian Jinyao applauded: Grandfather is amazing!
Jia Wei: After inheriting the title, your grandfather handed over his military command. Then your eldest uncle inherited the title, but unfortunately... sigh.
Nian Jinyao: Uncle? How come I've never met him?
Jia Wei lovingly stroked her head: Your uncle is in the capital, while we're in Huguang, thousands of miles away. How could you have met him? Even I haven't been back to Ning since marrying your father all these years ago. I wonder how the Duke of Rong's mansion is doing now.
The Duke... the Duke of Rong's mansion? The family name is Jia? One family with two dukedoms?
Nian Jinyao opened her eyes wide and tried to calm her little belly. Mother, what are Grandfather and Uncle's names?
Jia Wei: Your grandfather's name is Jia Daishan, and your eldest uncle is named Jia She. You also have a second uncle named Jia Zheng.
Jia Daishan? Jia She? Jia Zheng? Does that mean she also has a cousin named Jia Baoyu? Wait, did Jia She have a twin sister in Dream of the Red Chamber? Could her mother be...?
The synopsis is a little long, so turn to the first page to keep reading... Please note, this is not history, and none of this really happened. It's the author's dream.

Recommended upcoming story: The Imperial Merchant (Qing Dynasty + Dream of the Red Chamber)
Before Cao Youlin could even open his eyes, he heard that his family was going to give up its imperial merchant license. The news scared him back from the brink of death.
"W-wait! I'm not dead yet. You absolutely can't give it away!"
As a child, Cao Youlin's soul left his body and went to the modern era, where he "skipped grades" through more than ten years of education. Just as he thought he was a person from the future, his soul suddenly returned to his Qing Dynasty body.
It even brought a gift: an invisible trading device. Before he'd even opened his eyes after returning, the device issued its first mission: protect his imperial merchant license.
After that, Cao Youlin got busy. The Chang family wanted a special pet to send to a palace consort but had no way to get one?
No problem. I can trade one to you. Whatever kind of pet you want, I can get it, as long as you trade that broken machine you just brought back from overseas.
The imperial treasury is short on grain, so Kangxi comes to Cao Youlin to trade.
No problem. Just bring two complete sets of the latest blue-and-white porcelain from the Imperial Household Department, and someone will be willing to make the trade.
That's right. The goods exchanged are all chosen by the people making the trade, and he has no right to add even a single copper coin to the price. No matter how large the transaction, even with so much money passing through his hands, the poor Cao Youlin never gets rich. He thinks enviously of how other people in the book used trading devices to make a fortune.
Kangxi is also extremely envious of Cao Youlin's "wealth". Whenever he needs something, he wants to go to Cao Youlin. Now a war is about to break out, and he wants to get some more powerful weapons. Cao Youlin searches for a while, then nods.
There are weapons, but the value needed in exchange isn't low.
Kangxi: No problem. I'll use my priceless Eighth Prince as payment!
The Eighth Prince: I finally get to make an appearance!
Cao Youlin: ...
Kangxi raised an eyebrow: Still not enough? Then how about I add a promise not to confiscate the Duke of Rong's mansion?

Theme: Have the courage to take responsibility for your own actions and make the most of life
Jue Juezi, I didn't watch the middle and just skipped to the ending. Is this me, Daiyu? Is this my Daiyu, which is "not like a brocade bag to collect beautiful bones, but a handful of pure earth to cover the wind. It comes and goes clean again, and it is better than being trapped in filthy ditches"? It's up to you to create the protagonist. If I had known it would end like this, I wouldn't have come in with the Red Mansion tag. Please put up a lightning protection next time. Book fans, please don't fight me. You fight and you are right.
I finished reading another novel, I'm happy
To be honest, I suddenly felt too pitiful for the imperial concubine.
I hope the next book will feature six girls
Although there are a lot of bugs, it is still good to read without thinking. I hope to check more information and correct bugs next time.
I didn't get any stamps during the whole process, so today I'm going to get one stamped on the last one! Great writing in big letters
Cocoa, cocoa, so cocoa
I accidentally watched it all night
I have been saving it for a long time. It will be finished when I come back. I read it in three days. It's great and I'm happy. It's awesome. Come on.
Huh, luckily the eldest son is in charge. If the son of the "true love concubine" takes over, then this concubine will really become a low-end version of the heroine, and she will be very charming.
