The Eighth Princess of Kangxi's Laid-Back Life [Qing Transmigration]

Please add my upcoming novels The Little Empress and My Cousin Is Utterly Unsophisticated to your reading list! In the sixth month of the twenty-second year of Kangxi’s reign, Imperial Noble Consort Tong Jia gave birth to a daughter. Reborn, she knew the baby would die before reaching full term, so she was filled with worry as soon as she saw her. Seeing that his younger daughter was frail from birth and unlikely to survive, Kangxi feared his cousin would be heartbroken, so he told the wet nurse not to bring the baby to her too often. Fourth Prince Yinzhen knew all too well what it felt like not to be loved by one’s parents. His little sister was so adorable; he couldn’t bear to let her experience that pain. Everyone noticed that the somewhat peculiar Fourth Prince changed after the Eighth Princess was born. He used to ignore his brothers, but now he praised the Eighth Princess whenever he saw anyone. If someone dared to say a bad word about her, he’d fly into a rage. He used to be rather reserved at Jingren Palace, but now he sternly scolded any servants who neglected their duties for the Eighth Princess. He used to be hopeless at winning the emperor’s favor, but now he was all sweetness and charm, doing his best to get the emperor to visit Jingren Palace and see the Eighth Princess more often. The Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Kangxi, and the Imperial Noble Consort all grew fonder and fonder of Yinzhen. Eighth Prince Yinsi chased after Yinzhen: “Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, don’t dote only on Eighth Sister. Pay some attention to Eighth Brother too!” After transmigrating, Tan Ning learned who she was and decided to eat well, sleep well, and keep her head down to stay alive. Once she grew up, she could help her Fourth Brother. But when she finally did, she discovered that he was terrifyingly capable. In that case, she’d just keep eating and sleeping well. Later, after successfully promoting high-yield crops, the Fourth Prince said, “At first, I just wanted Eighth Sister to have something nice to eat. Believe me!” Later still, Tan Ning, supervising the army in the northwest, said, “My imperial brother only wanted me to come here and have something nice to eat. Believe me!” A lighthearted, adored-by-all daily-life story. Please don’t nitpick the history. 【Starting July 3, the novel will go premium with Chapter 23. Please keep supporting it, everyone!】 Upcoming novel When Bao Jiang was seven, her mother died of illness, and she traveled to the capital with a keepsake to find her father. Only after arriving in the capital did she learn that her legendary father, said to be richer than the kingdom itself, had renounced the world three years earlier, donated his vast fortune, and become a national preceptor. But every imperial relative and noble in court knew that the most precious thing about the national preceptor wasn’t his wealth, but the skills that could strengthen the country and make it rich. When they heard that his only daughter had come to the capital looking for him, the imperial relatives and nobles all scrambled to take her in. They argued so fiercely in the main hall that their faces turned red. Then the new emperor, also only seven years old, suddenly spoke up. “That’s enough. Stop arguing.” The hall fell silent. The little emperor’s voice was childish, but his tone was serious. “The national preceptor has rendered great service to the realm, and I have no way to repay him. His daughter should live in the palace. I’ll raise her myself.” Bao Jiang enjoyed a carefree life in the palace, with several princesses and princes around her age for company. As for the young emperor, he might be little, but he was as rigid as a pedantic tutor. The princes and princesses treated him like a cat would a mouse, and he often lectured her with a stern face, too. Bao Jiang liked playing with him least of all. Sheng Xun initially raised Bao Jiang in the palace only because he didn’t want others using her to control the national preceptor. But the girl had no sense at all of being dependent on others, and caused trouble every day. While dealing with the imperial relatives and ministers who were watching him like hawks, he also had to worry about her. The young emperor was at his wit’s end, often swallowing his temper as he cleaned up her messes. Years later, after her playmates had one by one gotten married, Bao Jiang went to her father, the national preceptor. “When will His Majesty arrange a marriage for your daughter? This year’s top graduate is exceptionally handsome…” Sheng Xun, who had come to discuss the empress’s appointment with the national preceptor: “…” The usually composed young emperor went pale with fury and ordered his attendant, “Go back to the palace and fetch the edict appointing the empress. Right now. This instant!” Theme: A harmonious family brings prosperity
