Wanwan: ...My feelings are complicated.
"This is the first time I've ever met someone like this," she said, unable to describe her feelings, but this task was definitely advantageous for Wanwan.
After all, it's just giving birth. She has no shortage of various pills. Once the baby is born, the mission is complete. She can do whatever she wants without going against the publisher's wishes. There's no such thing as a leisurely and easy job.
"System, this mission was good. Keep up the good work next time." If she gets a few more, she can accumulate enough energy points to enjoy herself, and she can even stay unemployed in the system space for a while.
"Since the host is so dedicated, the system will definitely continue to work hard," the system said eagerly. However, Wanwan's thoughts had already drifted away, completely absorbed in her own ideas. As for the system? She'd deal with that later.
Before nightfall, the carriage stopped at the post station outside the city.
Chen Yuwei got out of the car, and her legs felt weak when she stepped on the ground.
Why
Traveling in this era is just too troublesome. The carriages don't have shock absorption systems, and the official roads they're currently traveling on are unmaintained, with potholes everywhere. Wanwan, a pampered young lady, gets seasick even on a boat, let alone a carriage, which is a hundred times more uncomfortable than a boat ride. It's practically killing her.
"Miss, I'll have someone prepare water for you right away. Please rest for a while."
The maid supported her mistress while whispering instructions on what to do.
Wanwan nodded with an "Mmm," and said, "I'm fine here."
I just felt a little dizzy, but after taking a nap in bed, it passed.
Go ahead and get busy. I'll send someone to call you if I need anything.
After dismissing the maidservants around her, Wanwan decisively entered the inner room.
The beds at the post station were all newly made with fresh bedding, and Wanwan didn't complain. When she was transferred here by the system, she was on a constantly bumpy carriage, and there was no environment for her to absorb the memories of this body.
Now that she finally had a chance to be alone, Wanwan lay down, closed her eyes, and used the excuse of sleeping to quickly check the condition of her body.
After a while, Wanwan opened her eyes.
Her expression began to subtly change; after all, Chen Yuwei's personality was, well, somewhat complicated.
No wonder this person is not favored. He likes to amuse himself all day long. Even though he longs to be close to Emperor Qianlong, he can't find a way. He often does things without thinking things through. It would be a miracle if such a person could be favored.
Wanwan couldn't help but complain, thinking to herself that it was fortunate that this person still had some self-awareness and didn't ask her to become a favored concubine, otherwise she would definitely have rolled her eyes to the sky.
Even though their relationship was based on a simple cash-on-delivery transaction, there's no rule against complaining. If they encounter a difficult task, are they supposed to just swallow their anger and suffer in silence? That's not Wanwan's style.
It seems I need to find an opportunity to change the original owner's cowardly personality.
It would be best to replace all the maids serving her after entering the manor. Without anyone familiar with the original owner, Wanwan wouldn't be afraid of giving herself away.
Reaching out to touch her wrist, Wanwan got off the bed and called out to the maid waiting at the door.
"I'm hungry, please have someone bring me some food."
I need to finish this as soon as possible and get some rest. It will take another half a month to get to the capital from here.
Wanwan plans to spend more time conditioning her body. If a person wants to have offspring, they definitely need a healthy body to bear children.
Furthermore, Emperor Qianlong's tastes differed from Emperor Kangxi's. Qianlong preferred older women, the mature type, a style completely different from that of young girls.
The concubines this man once favored were all those who were still beautiful and charming in their later years.
Of course, Wanwan couldn't just wait until she got older to compete for favor. She could first adjust her figure to look like those mature women, and then create a contrast. She wasn't afraid that Hongli, that lecherous man, wouldn't take the bait.
The maid at the door responded with a "yes," and soon a servant carrying a tray came in.
After setting out the sumptuous dishes, Wanwan picked up her bowl and chopsticks to fill her stomach. Then, after the food had almost digested, she quickly took a shower before changing into her pajamas and going to bed.
Time passed day by day. Every day, Wanwan would get up early, take a car, and travel, finding a rest stop to stay in the evening.
After a long and arduous journey, we finally arrived in the capital in early August.
Well, it's a few days earlier than expected. This talent show was scheduled after the Mid-Autumn Festival, giving the contestants about twenty days to adjust.
After all, we all come from different parts of the country, and everyone has a different lifestyle and temperament. Some people with good health took a few days off, while others with poor health had a minor illness.
Wanwan's health wasn't very good; she fell ill as soon as she arrived in the capital.
The servants from the Chen family who had come with her were so frightened that they quickly asked a doctor to treat her.
Taking this opportunity, Wanwan mixed the pills that could regulate her body and change her appearance and figure with a nourishing soup and drank it.
Believe it or not, by the time Wanwan had fully recovered and was able to go out and walk around, she had completely changed.
With her curvaceous figure, she resembled a ripe fruit, and even in a traditional Chinese cheongsam that didn't accentuate her figure, she still drew everyone's attention.
In particular, Wanwan's face also carries a unique scholarly air, and the two contradictory yet harmonious qualities are extremely attractive.
To avoid being exposed, Wanwan has maintained Chen Yuwei's persona to the very end during this period.
He usually avoids talking as much as possible, spending his time reading, playing chess, or painting in his study.
Just as Wanwan was about to burst out of her shell and was about to reveal her true self, the palace's talent selection officially began.
Wanwan packed her bags and went to the Forbidden City alone to participate in the talent show.
And when she made that choice, her official status would be already set when she reappeared.
