Jingxian's life wasn't easy after being "returned" to the palace. Being "returned" without going through the proper channels when she entered the palace to be selected as a concubine was not something to be proud of.
Because of Jingxian's incident, the value of daughters in the Guarjia clan has dropped considerably. In ancient times, clans were highly valued, and if a bad princess came from the clan, others would think that the princesses of the clan were also problematic.
As soon as Jingxian returned home, her mother made her kneel down and then confine her to copy books to repent.
The Guarjia clan suffered many defeats because of Aobai, and was not favored by the emperor to begin with. Now, with the emperor saying they were "unruly," Guarjia women can no longer marry into good families.
In fact, Jingxian's mother loved her very much. If she were a heartless woman, she would have sent her daughter to a nunnery as soon as she returned home for the sake of the family's reputation. It is already a good result that she is only copying scriptures now.
Jingxian didn't appreciate her mother's good intentions. She felt wronged in the palace, and yet her family in this body treated her this way. Jingxian thought her mother was bad, so she refused to cooperate.
She wouldn't copy scriptures even when asked, and she wouldn't go hungry even when confined to her quarters; she just ignored everyone.
Her mother was furious at this attitude. The Guarjia clan had many daughters, including Jingxian's full sister and half-sister. In order to prevent her daughter from spending the rest of her life in seclusion, she arranged these things, but her daughter did not cooperate or appreciate it, which made her very angry.
The household wasn't ruled by a single family, and the matter quickly reached the ears of the matriarch. When Jingxian's mother learned that her mother-in-law knew, she knew that things couldn't be resolved peacefully.
The matriarch knew about Jingxian's affairs in the palace, but Jingxian visited her every day before the selection of concubines. The old lady valued relationships, and since her granddaughter's child was pleasing, she turned a blind eye to her eldest daughter-in-law's protection of her daughter.
The old lady was unaware that her granddaughter had become a completely different person, with a drastically changed personality, which made everyone in the mansion dislike her. She didn't believe anyone who said it, but after hearing it repeatedly, she naturally had to investigate.
So he called his eldest daughter-in-law over and questioned her.
Jingxian's mother was from the Shumulu clan. As the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, she managed the household affairs. Over the years, although there had been some minor squabbles in the Guarjia harem, there had been no major problems. The old lady was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
The old lady was born into the Niohuru clan and was a shrewd and discerning person. Since her eldest daughter-in-law entered the family, she had been in charge of all the household affairs. Now that her granddaughter's actions had angered the clan and she showed no remorse, she naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
After Guarjia paid her respects to Niohuru, Niohuru, as usual, asked her daughter-in-law to sit down and talk. The topic of conversation was naturally about Jingxian.
Guarjia knew before she arrived that her daughter's matter could not be resolved peacefully, but she had done everything she could for her daughter. She had also tried to persuade her daughter these past few days, but her daughter seemed to have become a different person after some kind of shock.
Niu Gulu: "The old ancestor appeared to me in a dream the night before last, saying that he had no one to talk to and to relieve his boredom. Xian'er is a filial daughter, so let her go to Master Jingyuan's place to recite some scriptures for the old ancestors. Maybe that will make the old ancestors happy."
Master Jingyuan was the abbess of a nunnery in their Guarjia household. She was a kind and gentle person. Shumulu knew that since her mother-in-law had spoken, there was no room for negotiation. Shumulu could only accept her fate.
Shumulu said sadly, "Mother is right, your daughter-in-law will make the arrangements."
It wasn't that Shumulu was heartless; she had done everything she could, but her daughter seemed to be possessed. She had other children, and she couldn't just think about one daughter.
Niohuru didn't want her granddaughter, who used to serve her, to spend the rest of her life as a Buddhist nun. She sighed and said, "Where can we assign more suitable people to serve Xian'er? After all, she is reciting scriptures for the ancestor. Keep the people who serve her in check so that no one bullies Xian'er."
Shumulu said, "Thank you for your care for my daughter, Mother."
Niohuru: "Mother's concern is nothing. I just hope that my daughter won't hold a grudge against me, her mother."
Shumulu thought that her daughter's indiscriminate nature might actually lead her to act this way, but she still said, "Xian'er wouldn't do that."
As soon as Shumulu left her mother-in-law's house, she began to make arrangements for her daughter. Naturally, she would not mistreat her daughter, but even if the nunnery was not mistreating her, life there was still more austere than in the mansion.
Jingxian was suddenly told that she had to go to a nunnery to chant sutras and pray for the ancestors. She was completely bewildered. She thought that her family would feel sorry for her after she made such a fuss. Why was she being sent to a nunnery?
Before transmigrating, Jingxian loved reading novels but wasn't a fan of TV dramas. However, Qing Dynasty transmigration novels were just becoming popular online before she transmigrated, so she hadn't read any of them. She studied science in high school and her history in junior high was just average. Moreover, junior high history didn't cover much about the Qing Dynasty, and she was only a freshman in college before transmigrating.
She didn't even know that Kangxi and Qianlong were grandfather and grandson, so don't expect her to know her situation. Therefore, she dared to act like a female protagonist in a time-travel romance novel from the very beginning.
Then she brought about her own demise, and as for that cheat code, she didn't even have a chance to use it yet!
Her mother doted on her, her father and mother treated each other with respect, and her grandmother was very tolerant of her. In the end, she played such a good hand so badly. She's quite a character.
Jingxian was sent away against her will, and Yinzhen had been paying attention to it. As long as she didn't use what she had to harm others, he wouldn't pay much attention to it.
Yinzhen knew that Jingxian had been sent to a nunnery by the Guarjia clan, so he ordered people to keep a close watch on her to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Yinzhen hadn't considered killing her directly, because Yunrong was pregnant! He had to accumulate some good fortune for the child.
With Jingxian gone, the palace selection process was also over. Just like the previous one, not a single woman was officially selected. Those who were chosen were all betrothed to members of the imperial family.
