After Transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty: Daily Promotions in the Harem

As a transmigrator with a system, Wanwan's favorite thing to do is stir up trouble.

However, causing trouble is also tiring. Wanwan, who had reformed and decided to become a lazy fish, ac...

Chapter 364 Consort Wan, née Chen

Consort Wan, née Chen Yuwei, daughter of Chen Yanzhang, was born on the 20th day of the 12th month of the 55th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. She was one of the concubines in the harem of the Qianlong Emperor, Hongli.

In the tenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, she and Consort Chun, née Su, entered the residence of the Qianlong Emperor as concubines.

In September of the thirteenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, after the Qianlong Emperor ascended the throne, she was initially granted the title of Consort Chen. In the second year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, she was promoted to Noble Lady Chen.

In July of the thirteenth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, she was promoted to the rank of Consort Wan, and held this position for 46 years.

In October of the fifty-ninth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, she was promoted to the rank of Consort Wan.

In the sixth year of the Jiaqing Emperor's reign, she was promoted to the rank of Consort Wan, and remained so until her death in the twelfth year of his reign.

Although this person lived to the ripe old age of ninety-two before passing away peacefully, his life was not pleasant.

She had no favor, no children, and lived alone in the harem.

Tsk, Wanwan, who had just completed her mission in the previous life, was sent directly to a new mission world by the system before her body could even recover.

It was still the Qing Dynasty, but her status had changed from the high and mighty Empress Dowager to a dispensable concubine.

Moreover, the prince to whom she was later bestowed her body was a grandson of Emperor Kangxi and the fourth son of Emperor Yongzheng, Prince Bao, Hongli.

This might not sound familiar, but simply put, her current husband was the future Qianlong Emperor, a man who was ambitious, arrogant, self-important, and completely lacking in self-awareness.

Wanwan had a headache, feeling that the tasks the system assigned her were all bizarre in their own way.

It's worth noting that Emperor Qianlong was the longest-lived emperor among all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.

His later abdication and appointment as the retired emperor was not entirely voluntary; it was purely for the sake of his reputation, and he did not wish to reign longer than Emperor Kangxi.

Moreover, even after becoming the retired emperor, this man had not relinquished his power, and even his son, the Jiaqing Emperor, who succeeded him, could only tremble under his authority.

It wasn't until this person died in the fourth year of Jiaqing's reign that Emperor Jiaqing was able to gain any real power.

Well, from this perspective, Emperor Qianlong only lived to be eighty-nine years old, not as long as her body.

Not bad, not bad. At least after Emperor Qianlong passed away, this man still enjoyed a few years of peace and comfort.

Touching her chin, Wanwan sat in the swaying carriage, pondering that this trip to the capital must be for participating in the imperial concubine selection.

In the tenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, the original owner of this body and Lady Su were assigned to Hongli's residence, and thus began their long and arduous life.

However, this time it's Wanwan's turn. Wanwan definitely can't live like this. She's been indulging in pleasure for too long and doesn't like being a nobody in the harem. She has to live a fulfilling life.

"System, tell me first, what does this Ms. Chen, oh, the person who posted this, Chen Yuwei, want?"

Wanwan calmed her expression and began to work seriously.

The system popped into Wanwan's mind: "The task of this person who issued the request is relatively simple. She wants offspring, and the more the better, if possible."

Offspring? And the more the better?

Wanwan tilted her head. "Is it because you're too lonely? You've lived to be ninety-two years old, and you have nothing but the maids who keep you company."

Compared to those short-lived concubines, Chen Yuwei did live a long life, but what was the use?

In this era, women are bound by many, many shackles.

Having children is a major hurdle that no woman can overcome.

Wanwan had just spent a trip in Kangxi's harem in her previous life, so she could roughly understand Chen Yuwei's mentality.

It's like the less you have, the more you want something.

Chen Yuwei, in the Qianlong Emperor's harem, did nothing but survive; she received no other favors or children.

More than Qianlong's favor, Chen Yuwei wanted offspring who could be of use to her, whether for her future care or for bringing joy to her children.

"Hmm, besides this, are there any others?"

Wanwan lowered her head and looked down, thinking that this request was not difficult. After all, she had given birth to several children in the Kangxi World and had plenty of experience in raising children.

Furthermore, Emperor Qianlong was different from Emperor Kangxi.

Later in his reign, Emperor Kangxi secretly controlled the number of children of some of his high-ranking concubines, fearing that these princes might band together and threaten the imperial power.

However, Emperor Qianlong did not have this concern in this regard. The reason is that Emperor Qianlong was too ruthless and dealt with his sons even more severely than Emperor Kangxi. But as long as his sons posed no threat, he could be a kind father.

In Emperor Qianlong's harem, whether they were high-ranking or low-ranking concubines, they all liked to give birth in groups.

It's similar to a situation where, over several years, almost all the children born to the same person were born to the same person in the harem.

Yes, this fully demonstrates Qianlong's willfulness and fearlessness. He was not afraid of anything at all and only cared about his own enjoyment.

Even if Chen Yuwei has many children, she doesn't have to worry about what might happen.

As for Chen Yuwei's identity, she was a member of the Han Banner Army, making her a pure Han Chinese, and her family's influence was all in the Jiangnan region.

Their status alone eliminates most of the capital they could compete for.

Neither Emperor Qianlong nor his concubines were afraid of her giving birth.

With such innate advantages, as long as Wanwan doesn't go too far, she will definitely live an even more relaxed and carefree life than in the previous mission world.

Hehe, this is a perfect opportunity for her to enjoy being a playboy. Wanwan licked her lips, thinking to herself how could she miss it? Wouldn't that be a waste of the poster's good intentions?

system:……

The system, an artificial intelligence, felt a chill, though it was unclear what the host was imagining.

In response to Wanwan's new question, the system replied, "There are no other requirements. This person who posted this is only obsessed with the continuation of the lineage," and didn't even mention asking the host to help the original owner win favor.
