Consort Xuan's Everyday Life Raising Children (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

"Consort Hui's Carefree Life in the Qing Palace" is now open for follows. Please add it to your collection! Novel Synopsis Wen Shan never imagined that one day she, too, would get caught up in the Qing-transmigration craze. As a member of Kangxi's harem, she didn't transmigrate into the body of one of the three short-lived empresses, nor did she become one of the famous Four Imperial Consorts of Kangxi. Instead, she became the rather obscure Consort Xuan. Consort Xuan of the Kangxi era was a member of the Khorchin Borjigit clan, the daughter of Borjigit Heta, Prince of Heshuo Darhan. Wen Shan counts on her fingers the advantages of being Consort Xuan. First: She has a noble background and isn't especially favored, so no one in the palace has any reason to bother her. Second: She's in excellent health and lives all the way into the Qianlong era. Third: She has no children, so she doesn't have to risk dying in childbirth with the poor medical care of ancient times, or get caught up in the infamous bloody struggle among the nine princes for the throne. She's the perfect person for a life of snacking and slacking off! One day, the small kitchen in Xianfu Palace becomes busy around the clock. The noble Consort Xuan, born into a Mongolian family, spends three hours a day in there. She spends the next two hours in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, bringing heaps of food every day to delight the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. Having won the favor of Xiaozhuang, the Grand Empress Dowager and venerable matriarch of the Kangxi era, Wen Shan happily thinks that her life of eating well and doing nothing is now even more secure. Then she realizes she may have clung a little too tightly to this powerful ally. With a single word from Xiaozhuang, the future Yongzheng Emperor, Yinzhen, who was supposed to be raised by Noble Consort Tong, is placed under her care. Wen Shan is already at a loss over how to raise the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. Not long afterward, she's even more stunned when another little boy, the Eighth Prince, Yinsi, is brought to Xianfu Palace. Watching these two little princes climb trees to raid birds' nests, wade into the water to catch fish, eat together, and sleep together, like devoted brothers, Wen Shan can't imagine the brutal struggle between the Fourth Prince's and Eighth Prince's factions in history, which ended with them fighting to the death. Since everything has already become this chaotic, Wen Shan chooses to lie flat. She'd rather plant flowers, raise dogs, cook, and play with the children. Content warnings: 1.

Prepublication collection: "The True Story of Empress Fucha's Struggle" Synopsis Empress Xiaoxianchun, Lady Fucha, was Qianlong's first empress. She came from a distinguished family known for its loyal service, bore two sons and two daughters, but only her second daughter reached adulthood. She herself died young in the thirteenth year of Qianlong's reign. Baolin wakes up in the body of Lady Fucha and feels conflicted about the role she's been handed. She has a good background and was personally chosen by the Yongzheng Emperor to become the primary consort of Prince Bao, who is practically the designated heir. She can lie flat all the way to becoming empress. But three of her four children will die, and she won't live long herself. All she can do is linger in Qianlong's long, sorrowful poems. Baolin sighs. Since her marriage has already been arranged, she has to fight for herself, if not for the children! First, she has to save her eldest daughter, who died shortly after birth. Then she has to find a way for her eldest son, Yonglian, to grow up and ascend the throne. Finally, she has to avoid dying in the thirteenth year of Qianlong's reign and survive to reach her ultimate goal: becoming the Empress Dowager. In the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, Yongzheng arranges Baolin's marriage to Hongli as his primary consort. In the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, Baolin becomes pregnant with the daughter who is supposed to die at birth. After exhausting herself and nearly dying in the process, she finally manages to give birth to her precious daughter. Then she hears her maid Furong's joyful, tearful voice: "Your Highness, it's a boy!" Baolin: What? Where's my precious daughter? The Kangxi Emperor of the Qing dynasty died at Changchun Garden in the sixty-first year of his reign. Seeing his fourth son, Yinzhen, kneel beside his bed, weeping behind his hands, Kangxi closes his eyes in satisfaction. At least he has chosen a ruler for the Great Qing who will remain steadfast and resolute. He can face his ancestors with a clear conscience. But the next moment Kangxi opens his eyes again to find an unfamiliar palace maid with a two-bun hairstyle holding him. She's so excited that she nearly drops him. She keeps shouting that she's given birth to a boy. Kangxi: Have I been reincarnated? After being washed and wrapped up in a quilt, Kangxi is passed from hand to hand several times, then respectfully handed to Yinzhen. His mind finally short-circuits. Yinzhen, you traitorous son! How dare you say I'm your grandson! And how did Hongli become my father? Content warnings: 1. This is an everyday-life story, and some historical events will change. 2. Qianlong will probably be made to step down early and become an emperor emeritus. 3. This is a work of imagination. Just enjoy it, and I hope you have fun reading! Premise: Live life earnestly.
