The Daily Life of the Qing Dynasty’s Youngest Legitimate Son

[The story is complete. Thank you all for your support.] Legend has it that Bai Ze, from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, could speak, understand the nature of all things, and know the affairs of ghosts and gods. All under heaven adored him. But Bai Ze, revered as a guardian deity, had long wanted to sneak out and see the world. After bluffing his fellow divine beasts, he leaped lightly into the human realm to experience life. In the twenty-third year of the Kangxi era, Empress Heseri gave birth to the emperor's eleventh son. As Kangxi's second legitimate son, with Crown Prince Yinzhen ahead of him and Empress Heseri as his mother, he could hardly have asked for a better life. Yintiao slowly opened his eyes and looked around the resplendent room. Satisfied with the home Granny Meng had picked for him, he promptly fell back into a deep sleep. Everyone said the Eleventh Prince was lucky. His father was the emperor, who doted on him and never let him suffer. When his elder brother took the throne, he was still doted on and pampered. The Eleventh Prince had everything going for him except that he was lazy. All his brothers had jobs and devoted themselves to the Qing dynasty. He alone did nothing but live off his family. Little Theater: First Prince: “Eleventh Brother, stop sleeping! Come train in martial arts and join me on the battlefield!” Crown Prince: “Be a good boy, Eleventh Brother. Let's work together to build up the Qing dynasty.” Third Prince: “Eleventh Brother, you need to study hard. I'll teach you poetry and painting.” Fourth Prince: “Eleventh Brother, work hard at arithmetic. I'll take you along on a confiscation raid.” Yintiao waved his fan. Work? Hadn't he worked for several thousand years already? Warnings: 1. Empress Heseri is reborn. 2. Crown Prince Yinreng has transmigrated. This is his third life: he was Yinreng in his first life, lived in the modern world in his second, and unexpectedly returned for a third life, this time being born as a baby. 3. An alternate-universe Qing dynasty transmigration story, with little concern for historical accuracy. 4. The male lead has no romantic pairing. PS: This is just a Qing dynasty transmigration story about raising a child, with a bit of nation-building on the side. I just want to write about how cute little kids are. It really isn't a cerebral story, so if you like overpowered protagonists, you may want to pass. The protagonist doesn't have much of an aura of greatness. Here's a preview of my upcoming story, My Ancestor Is Actually My Son (Qin Dynasty Transmigration). If you're interested, please add it to your favorites. Unemployed young woman Zhao Xuwan unexpectedly found herself a commoner in the Warring States period. She grew up hungry and destitute, and at sixteen, disaster struck without warning. Her family couldn't afford the taxes owed to the nobility, so her parents decided to sell her. Luckily, she met a kind merchant who bought her. From then on, she made a living dancing and singing. When simply staying alive became a struggle, Zhao Xuwan had to think about her future. One day, she took a fancy to the young noble who often visited the merchant. He was handsome, but looked a little frail. Not knowing whether she would ever find a good home, she decided to go all in and seduce him. After they married, the merchant was overjoyed, and the young noble was happy too, right up until she got pregnant. On the day their child was born, the young noble excitedly took her hand and said, “You've worked hard. We'll name the child Zheng.” Zheng? Which Zheng? The young noble said his surname was Zhao. Zhao Zheng? No, Ying Zheng. Only then did Zhao Xuwan finally understand. No wonder the merchant's surname was Lü, and no wonder the young noble was called Zichu. She was Zhao Ji! Theme: Keep up with your older brothers and work yourself to the bone.
