A Bao was a little girl nobody wanted, until a man who didn't mind her being filthy swept her tightly into his arms and choked out:
"You are the most noble princess in all of Great Qing. I will lay every treasure in the world at our A Bao's feet."
Only then did A Bao realize that she wasn't a poor little girl nobody wanted after all. She was a precious child an emperor had spent a year searching for.
"So, are you A Bao's papa? But some strange uncles said you're their father, not A Bao's." A Bao asked, puzzled.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes and gave his sons a dangerous look. "Good A Bao, they're wrong. I am only A Bao's papa."
The strange uncles lined up together: ...So we all sprang from a crack in a rock???

A Bao fell asleep in the hammock Kangxi had woven for her with his own hands. Hongxi passed by, resented it, and snatched her away.
The Crown Prince was taking a walk with Kangxi when they happened to see his hopeless son flip the Emperor's precious darling right onto the ground.
The Crown Prince scooped up Hongxi and gave him a thorough beating. Hongxi protested and called for his Imperial Grandfather, who had always indulged him, but was ignored.
The Crown Prince thought to himself, "Son, I'm not beating you. I'm saving you!"

A Bao was playing in the Qianqing Palace when Consort Mi found her annoying and ordered the palace servants to drive her outside.
A Bao fainted from heatstroke. Kangxi flew into a rage and demoted the favored Consort Mi to the Cold Palace, where she would remain for the rest of her life.
Yinwu and Yinlu spoke up for their mother: "She's just some illegitimate child of unknown origins. Is Imperial Father really going to break his sons' hearts for her?"
"The two of you together don't compare to my A Bao. She dared to take an arrow for me when she was only three. Would either of you dare do that?"
To ensure A Bao could grow up healthy, Kangxi had no choice but to reveal her origins:
Her mother was the leader of Mongolia's largest tribe, and Kangxi's first love.
She also had an older brother, Amuxing, heir to the tribe and Kangxi's biological son.
Everyone fell into line, accepting that A Bao could do whatever she pleased in the palace.
The imperial consorts: She's the daughter of Kangxi's true love. We have to protect her. If A Bao's mother comes looking for her, what chance will we have of winning his favor?
The princes: Protect our little ancestor! Don't give Amuxing the slightest reason to return to the palace. With a background like that, we can't afford to cross him!
A Bao, gradually regaining her memories from before she transmigrated: I didn't even do anything. How did I become everyone's darling?
[Coming soon] "Long Live the Empress": Coming soon. Add it to your library if you're interested. Here's the blurb:
Tong Yulan transmigrated and became Empress, but her Empress experience card lasted only one day. She had transmigrated into Empress Xiaoyiren!
Luckily, just when all seemed lost, her adopted son Yinzhen was reborn from the apocalypse with a golden finger. As long as he cared for his brothers and ascended the throne again, he could extend her life.
Tong Yulan had been able to hear other people's thoughts since birth. Before she transmigrated, this golden finger wasn't much use, but now she thought it was practically made for her!
Yinzhen had been reborn from the apocalypse. In this life, he had only two wishes: save Imperial Mother and beat those bratty brothers of his to tears.
Looking at his arrogant eldest brother, sensitive second brother, smiling tiger of a third brother, and all the other younger brothers with their many disagreeable personalities, Yinzhen forced a stiff, unsettling smile.
[Heh... You're all dead.]
The Brotherly Love System warned: Host's malice is about to exceed the limit! To extend the Empress's life, the Host must remain kind!
For Imperial Mother, he endured it.
But become Emperor? He'd rather go back to the apocalypse and keep hacking at zombies.
Nobody wanted to be Emperor, and Kangxi no longer thought the throne looked appealing.
Kangxi: Baocheng? This throne of mine...
The Crown Prince: Your son is of mediocre talent. Let Eldest Brother take it, Imperial Father.
Kangxi: Baoqing, I've always had high hopes for you...
Yinti: I'm busy going overseas. Ask Eighth Brother.
Yinsi: I'm on my honeymoon with my wife. Ask Fourteenth Brother.
Yinzhen: Nobody else wants it? Then I don't want it either!
Kangxi: All I can say is, I regret it. If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have raised them like fighting crickets.
Tong Yulan, quietly taking credit: At first, she only wanted to live a few more days. She ended up persuading them too well. The children get along now, but they've also lost all ambition.
Theme: Sincerity for sincerity
How should I put it, if I were Wu Fujian, I would definitely be disgusted with this outside room, and this Cao Ling'er should do some big things in the later period! So disgusting, these green tea and white lotus flowers. I don't like this outer room. The children in my belly are not innocent either. I hate saying that the children born by the mistress are all innocent. I don't understand. I am too cruel or everyone is too kind. I am the first wife and this child will never be born. But I have seen many things and combined with modern times, and Modern law actually protects the children of mistresses. In ancient times, the status of the main wife was very high, which is a bit incoherent. If you write a novel specifically about the counterattack of the outside wife, the outside wife is the protagonist. I can't bear to watch the next plot. Oh, don't let the fifth elder brother like the outside wife, and then the child is born. That would be too bad for the wife!
This chapter is well written. I look forward to the next chapter. A Bao doesn't need to be sensible. The child understands the ways of the world. He feels a little sorry for A Bao. He wants to be a willful little princess. Cao Ling'er doesn't want to mention it. He will be offline later if he doesn't die. I just don't know why the author arranged it for Nalan Mingzhu. I look forward to it. I look forward to it.
This is so scumbag, women are so miserable.
Suddenly I feel a little indifferent to Yue Fu.
Abao: Just... Let's see who is more beautiful
Didn't Cheng Guiren become a concubine before?
Why did Lao Wu bring an outer room back?
It seems that her husband is probably an imperial businessman or something like that.
The numbers won't continue to fight to the death, right?
