After waking up, Tong Yuan transmigrates into the eldest daughter of the Kangxi Emperor's maternal clan, the Tongjia family: Tongjia Yuan, the emperor's cousin and the future Empress Xiaoyiren.
As a Tongjia daughter destined to enter the palace, Tongjia Yuan doesn't think it's a big deal. Kangxi favors his maternal relatives, so even if she does nothing after entering the palace, she can still enjoy a life of wealth and comfort.
But the real Empress Xiaoyiren died young and was empress for only one day. Tongjia Yuan's goal is clear: outlive Kangxi, become the Empress Dowager, and enjoy her golden years.
So, wearing the title of cousin and armed with a god-tier advantage, she sweeps through the imperial harem.
At first, Tongjia Yuan only wants to treat Kangxi a little better so she can secure a peaceful retirement. But she only smiles a little sweeter and acts a little more convincingly, so how does Kangxi end up thinking she's his true love?
He wants her to manage the Six Palaces? If there's something in it for her, she can do that. He wants her to raise the Crown Prince too? Since the prince lost his mother when he was young and is so adorable, she can make an exception and be a good person.
What, he wants her to be empress too? Tongjia Yuan firmly declines. She won't take on such a thankless job. Being Imperial Noble Consort is just fine.
"I feel at ease with my cousin as empress." Kangxi looks at her as if she's the person he trusts most in the harem.
Tongjia Yuan has no choice but to use her ultimate weapon: a frail, Xishi-like pose, hand pressed to her heart.
"Cousin, I want to help shoulder your burdens too, but my health simply won't allow it." She smiles weakly.
As if! I'm already the highest-ranking woman in the harem. Why would I go looking for trouble? Being Imperial Noble Consort is just fine. The empress position can wait. Let me lie down for a few years first.
Consort Yi is headstrong, Consort De is gentle, and Consort Liang is beautiful, but none can match the Imperial Noble Consort's magnificent bearing.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang: Tongjia has been skipping her daily greetings every other day lately. She's getting more spoiled by the emperor's favor. She tells Kangxi, "You are the emperor. You should share your favor fairly among the women in the harem."
Kangxi: "My cousin is in poor health. I hope Grandmother will be understanding."
The women of the harem: Wait, who did you say is in poor health? Tongjia Yuan, the one who can ride a horse all the way around the capital? You've got to be out of your mind to say something so unreasonable.
Tongjia Yuan: Give a woman three parts drunk, and she'll act until you cry.
The heroine raises the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince. In the end, the Crown Prince ascends the throne. She has no children of her own.
No exclusive favor in the early story.
Theme: Wherever you find yourself, live well.
The princess won't want anything else, right?
It's very sweet, a purely sweet story, without too much intrigue and palace fighting!
The time jump in these two chapters is a bit hasty, and the transitions in time and space are usually not connected. The previous thing was well-spoken, and the next person and thing suddenly started, without turning points or transition words, which seemed a bit uncomfortable.
Ding~Business fluid blessing update is stress-free!
Ah Sahuahua∠※It would be better if there is an extra drop 🐰
Wow, it's over, Spreading Flowers, will there be any extras?
It's a bit of a running story and the connection is not good.
