Consort De's Daily Life of Rising Through the Ranks and Raising Children

New Novel: The Concubine of Prince Yong's Mansion Has It Rough is updating daily. Please add it to your collection.

Blurb [Updating Daily]: Fang Yu woke up one day and found herself back in the Qing dynasty, as the famous Uya of Emperor Kangxi's harem. For now, though, she was merely an unfavored low-ranking consort. Fortunately, her skin was smooth as jade and her beauty was unparalleled. Relying on her looks, she began competing for favor and climbing the ranks. Before long, she became the most favored Consort De in the palace, the envy of every woman in the harem.

When her first little bundle of joy was born and named Yinzhen, a great weight lifted from her heart. At last, she had given birth to the Fourth Prince. She had a son and a higher rank, and her son would one day ascend the throne. All she had to do was raise him in peace. Fang Yu immediately lost the motivation to compete for favor and planned to wait until she became the Empress Dowager. She never expected the emperor to keep doting on her without end. Being too favored meant having too many children, and when several rowdy kids got together, they gave her a headache. She hoped they would grow up quickly so she could become Empress Dowager as soon as possible.

Kangxi never expected he would take a liking to a low-ranking consort. She was spoiled and even threw tantrums at him, but once he started favoring her, he did so for decades.

New Novel: The Concubine of Prince Yong's Mansion Has It Rough (Transmigration into the Qing Dynasty) is updating daily. Please add it to your collection: Feng Nanjia transmigrated just after graduating from high school. On her first day after waking up, a man with a long Qing-style braid glared at her and told her that in this life she belonged to him in life and would be his ghost in death, so she had better accept her fate.

Later, she learned that the man was the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. She had transmigrated to the Kangxi era and become one of his concubines. The royal household was full of rules and strict ranks. Above her, Kangxi, her father-in-law, and Consort De, her mother-in-law, kept her in check. Below them, Yinzhen himself and his principal wife, the primary consort, held sway over her. As a concubine, all she could do was tread carefully, avoid offending anyone, compete for favor, and try to please the Fourth Prince.

But everyone around her kept looking at her strangely, especially the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.

[From the Son's Perspective]

From the age of three, Hongyao was told by his mother and father to visit the side courtyard every three days to pay his respects to Concubine Feng. He was young, and the winter was bitterly cold. One snowy day, he refused to get up early to visit the side courtyard. His father was furious and punished him by making him stand in the courtyard for an hour. The young boy froze stiff in the snow and fainted, falling gravely ill. Every servant by his side was also severely punished with a beating.

After that, he never dared skip his visits again. Later, he heard that his mother was not his birth mother, and that his birth mother was Concubine Feng in the side courtyard. When he asked his father about it, his father said he had only one mother. Hongyao thought his father meant his principal mother. Only when he grew up did he realize his father had not meant his principal mother, but Concubine Feng.
