Qing Dynasty Transmigration: Winning by Lying Down

Emperor Yongzheng defeated his brothers and ascended the throne, only to die exhausted after thirteen years, leaving behind ambitions unfulfilled. Unwilling to accept this fate, his soul wandered t...

Chapter Thirteen: Conferred the title of Consort Xian

Yinzhen, being a very upright gentleman, said, "Misihan is a good man, and his daughter is a good woman!"

Yunrong: "This servant thanks Your Majesty for recognizing my father, but this servant is unworthy of Your Majesty's praise!"

Yunrong thought to herself, "You only met me once before and you knew I was a good person! You really just wanted me to be your substitute, what a scumbag!"

Yunrong recalled historical records that Emperor Kangxi was a seemingly amorous emperor, having more than twenty sons who survived, and countless women he had slept with! What an extreme scumbag!

Before he even knew it, Yinzhen was labeled an absolute scumbag, and he felt utterly wronged! He hadn't touched a woman in years!

At first, it was because he couldn't touch his father's women. Later, he didn't want to touch palace maids. Just thinking about how bondservants controlled the harem, making it so that only bondservants could decide who would have children, made him resolutely refuse to touch them!

After several years of practicing abstinence from worldly desires, Yinzhen, who was never a person with strong desires to begin with, is now almost like a Buddha!

Yinzhen now felt that even if a beautiful woman with disheveled clothes were lying on his dragon bed, he wouldn't be able to muster any interest!

Besides, after being a ghost for so many years, his taste in people had changed, and he felt particularly guilty sleeping with these kinds of people! In short, he just couldn't muster the energy for it!

...

Yinzhen took it as her modesty! She was a sensible person! Observing her behavior over the years, Yinzhen had not done anything out of line and had always been well-behaved, so he thought she was a cautious person!

Yinzhen didn't say much. He had just decided to come and see things on a whim, and had no other intentions. After seeing the place, he felt even better and then left!

Yunrong was left alone, and her mood worsened. She walked back to her residence with unreal steps.

Now that she knew the emperor and the "lecher" from Tan Tuo Temple were the same person, Yunrong felt that she would probably spend the rest of her life in the palace! She wondered who was so capable of becoming the emperor's white moonlight! If someone had the ability to make the emperor unable to forget them, they should at least live a little longer. Dragging her into the palace was a terrible mistake!

After Yunrong learned the reason, she was no longer so indifferent. It seemed that she would not be able to stay out of it after entering the palace. If she continued to be indifferent, she didn't know how she would be criticized and harmed!

Since Hong'er is trustworthy, things will be much easier. Yunrong inquired about Hong'er's connections within the Imperial Household Department and learned quite a bit!

After making some inquiries, the period of staying at the palace was finally over, and Yunrong was sent home to prepare for entering the palace!

While Yunrong was still staying in the palace, she had already promoted the ranks of everyone in the harem. Niohuru was promoted to the rank of Consort. Logically, given her family background, she should have been a Noble Consort, but what she did angered the Emperor! She was given the rank of Consort, but not a title!

The others! The Nara clan member who gave birth became Consort Hui, and another member of the Majia clan who gave birth became Consort Rong!

The other concubines were all dismissed as Noble Ladies and Attendants, but none were granted the title of Lady-in-Waiting. After all, they were old, and Yinzhen was happy to give them some face!

Yunrong's rank has been decided: Consort, with the title Xian! The title is good, but nothing particularly special!

After the initial registration, four people were ultimately selected to enter the palace as concubines. Excluding Yunrong, the remaining three included a girl from the Hesheli clan, who was the Empress's person. After careful consideration, Yinzhen kept her! He also gave the Empress face by bestowing upon her the title of Consort, continuing the one from her previous life, Consort Xi!

There were two others from unremarkable families, but with exceptionally outstanding looks. Their fathers were not officials in the capital, and both were ladies-in-waiting! They were Lady Wang and Lady Li!

When Yunrong returned home, everyone in the family had to bow and greet her, and she was even required to sit at the head of the table during meals, which made her very uncomfortable! Everything else felt awkward!

Yunrong didn't mention that she had met the Emperor once at Tantuo Temple. If her mother found out, she would surely feel guilty!

Yunrong, thinking that things had come to this, was quite optimistic. She even said to Wuya, "Mother, think about it! It's all because you raised me so well. Otherwise, how could I have been so pleasing to the eye of the Emperor? Besides, Father is highly regarded by the Emperor, and my brothers are all capable. I don't think my days in the palace will be difficult. Mother, don't worry!"

After receiving comfort from her daughter, Lady Wuya could only reassure herself that her daughter was right; the men of the Fucha family were all capable and could always protect a woman's safety in the palace!

On an auspicious day, Yunrong was carried into the palace in a sedan chair!

Uya had already converted Yunrong's dowry into silver coins and placed them in a hidden compartment of the jewelry box. There weren't many things she could carry, and the entire jewelry box was packed full!

Once inside the palace, everything is regulated. The Imperial Household Department will prepare everything needed. Besides, everything in the palace has been approved through official channels. This is for safety reasons, to prevent dangerous things from unknown sources from being brought in!

Yunrong's bundles and jewelry box were all thoroughly searched before the search was stopped!

Yunrong was carried directly into Yongshou Palace!

Yongshou Palace is the head of the Western Six Palaces, right next to Qianqing Palace, and is symmetrical to Jingren Palace where the Empress lived. Moreover, to the south of Yongshou Palace is Yangxin Hall, the sleeping quarters of Emperor Yongzheng in his previous life!

It is evident that Yongshou Palace enjoys a first-class geographical location!

During the grand ceremony of bestowing titles upon the imperial harem, Yongshou Palace was very popular due to its superior geographical location. Empress Niohuru very much wanted to move there, but the Empress refused, saying that she lived in Jingyang Palace in the northeast corner, which was too far from Yongshou Palace, and that moving would disturb the Emperor's rest.

Since even Niohuru couldn't get in, no one else could either, which is why Yunrong got the advantage! Of course, Yinzhen also played a part in it!

Otherwise, Yunrong would definitely be assigned to some remote corner!

Yunrong lives in the main hall of Yongshou Palace. Besides her, there is also Consort Chen, who is an old palace maid. She entered the palace during the first imperial concubine selection, but she was not favored. As she got older, she was assigned to Yongshou Palace because Yinzhen thought she was relatively well-behaved.
