Thank you! 【Coming next: The Prince of Jin's Household. Completed: The Empress's Long Life】 Li Jingxian was an ordinary official's daughter. After passing the palace selection, all she could do was obediently ride in a small sedan chair to Prince Shun's residence and become one of the prince's concubines. She had no special talents. She was simply quiet and obedient, just like her name. So after Li Jingxian entered the inner quarters, she barely made a ripple. Nobody paid her any mind. But some people are just lucky. At the time, there weren't many attendants in Prince Shun's inner quarters. The princess consort was pregnant, Senior Concubine Gao was on her period, his favored concubine, Madam Zhao, had caught a slight cold, and several other concubines had long since fallen out of favor. After looking around, Prince Shun Yong Huan could only choose to visit the still-fresh and pretty Li's courtyard. He never expected that the woman he'd favored simply because he had no other options would gradually be raised by his own hand to the rank of Secondary Consort, then Consort, Princess Consort, Noble Consort, and finally Imperial Noble Consort. The emperor's third son, Yanhuai, was the eldest son of Imperial Noble Consort Li. He was later made Crown Prince. From the time Yanhuai was old enough to understand, his father kept reminding him: “Your mother isn't very clever. Even when she's wronged, she doesn't know how to speak up, so people can easily bully her. You must make something of yourself, so you can stand up for her in the future. Understand?” Yanhuai: “Yes.” Even his adoptive mother often sighed as she looked at him. “You're a good child, and so is your mother. I can't put my mind at ease about the others, so you must work hard.” Yanhuai obediently replied, “Yes.” But Yanhuai was still curious about how Li Jingxian had won over his cold-faced, fearsome father. Li Jingxian thought about it, then shook her head. “I don't know. Maybe I was just lucky. I had no status in the household at first.” The emperor beside her peeled grapes for her. “...I was wrong. At first, I failed to recognize what I had right in front of me.” Yanhuai: “...?” But was Li Jingxian really clueless? Not necessarily. She was simply lucky, and everything she did happened to be the right thing. Reading Guide: 1. A purely historical setting, with a male and female lead. There will be feudal attitudes. 2.
