In the dead of night, the solemn and majestic Forbidden City was quiet. In Chengqian Palace, one of the six eastern palaces, a beautiful woman of about 28 years old slowly opened her eyes.
After a period of intense dizziness, Yunyi finally regained consciousness. She first opened her eyes and looked around.
The ancient palace bed was pitch black, so it must be nighttime. Through the bed curtains, she could vaguely see a figure beside the bed, probably a palace maid on night watch. Realizing her surroundings and confirming she was safe and undisturbed, she closed her eyes and entered her own world of consciousness.
When elements such as the Forbidden City, Chengqian Palace, and the system appear, it's not hard for everyone to figure out Yunyi's identity.
That's right, Yunyi is the kind of transmigrator that's all too common in novels, appearing a lot. Although she's only just bound herself to the system and has just experienced her first transmigration.
Before being bound to the system, Yunyi was just an ordinary, unremarkable person in the 21st century. From childhood to adulthood, she studied and lived a routine life, eventually attending an ordinary university and becoming a civil servant after graduation. Her life for over twenty years was uneventful and without any major ups and downs.
Unexpectedly, this ordinary girl experienced an accident on an ordinary day. After a car accident, she was suddenly bound to a system and became one of the countless transmigrators.
Yunyi is bound to the Child-Raising System No. 777 of the Qing Dynasty Transmigration Department of the Quick Transmigration Bureau. According to the system's explanation, all her future missions will take place in the Qing Dynasty world. Because she is bound to the Child-Raising System, her missions will all be related to children.
After the system integrated the original body's memories, Yunyi learned that her current identity was that of Empress Xiaoyiren Tongjia, the cousin of the famous Kangxi Emperor and the adoptive mother of the Yongzheng Emperor.
However, it was the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and Lady Tongjia was not yet the Empress, but only a Noble Consort, because she had not yet been promoted to a higher banner, and was not Lady Tongjia, but Lady Tong.
The original owner of the body, Tong Yunyi, entered the palace in the twelfth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign and was conferred the title of Noble Consort in August of the following year, residing in Chengqian Palace, the first of the Eastern Six Palaces. As the Kangxi Emperor's cousin, she grew up with him since childhood, and the two were childhood sweethearts, innocent and close friends.
After entering the palace, Emperor Kangxi showered her with affection. Unlike the other concubines who lived in constant fear, she lived a carefree and flamboyant life in the deep palace. Logically, she should have been very happy, but no one knew the bitterness in her heart. She longed to have a child of her own with her cousin.
Having been in the palace for four years, Tong Yunyi watched as children were born one after another in the harem. Countless times she wept in the dead of night, countless times she prayed fervently for God's mercy, and countless times she drank bitter medicine in hopes of conceiving. But all of this was in vain. For four years, there was still no news of her pregnancy.
And so, a plan that would torment her for the rest of her life quietly took shape in her heart: she would have to conceive a child through surrogacy. She would do anything to have a child. Even if it meant finding someone else to serve her beloved cousin, even if it meant being mocked by the concubines in the harem for being unable to have children and having to rely on surrogacy, she didn't care.
She ordered people to find some beautiful palace maids in the palace, and after carefully training them, she sent them to serve Emperor Kangxi. If any of them could get pregnant and give birth, she could adopt the child into her own family.
Tong Yunyi succeeded, and one of the palace maids, Wu Yaxin Yue, soon became pregnant. However, she soon learned that she was also pregnant. Her four-year-long wish had finally come true, and she was overjoyed. She carefully nurtured her pregnancy, and after ten months, she gave birth to a baby girl who died shortly after birth. On the same day, Wu Yaxin Yue gave birth to the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. To comfort her, Emperor Kangxi gave the Fourth Prince to her to raise, bestowed upon Wu Yaxin Yue the title of Noble Lady De, and moved her to Yonghe Palace.
Tong Yunyi lost the child she had longed for, and poured all her maternal love into the Fourth Prince, loving him as if he were her own child. Unfortunately, Tong Yunyi was born with a weak constitution, and after giving birth, she was constantly depressed, eventually passing away in the 28th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign at the age of 31.
After obtaining all of the original owner's memories from the system, Yunyi roughly understood her current situation. Just as she was thinking, the system spoke.
System 777 is a pale blue ball of light floating in the Cloud Consciousness World. At this moment, this seemingly high-tech ball of light emits a soft and cute little voice. "Because the host is a novice and has not yet been promoted, this internship world is a sub-world formed from a novel, which is less difficult. Below is the original novel story of this world. Please read it carefully."
The story I just heard came from Tong Yunyi's memories of her previous life, but the novel describes a completely different story.
This world was formed from a novel called "The Story of Consort De in the Imperial Harem". The female protagonist is the palace maid who was found by Tong Yunyi to conceive, who later became Consort De, of the Uya clan.
The original female lead, Wu Yaxin Yue, was born into a family of bondservantes. From a young age, she harbored great ambitions. She was unwilling to accept her status as a bondservant and did not want to be selected into the palace as an ordinary maid, only to become an old maid at the age of 25 and be forced to become someone's second wife after leaving the palace. She also did not want to risk her daughter being selected into the palace after marrying another bondservant, even if she managed to avoid the selection process.
The title "Baoyi" sounds nice, referring to servants of the royal family, but they are still servants. The royal family needs them, and even pampered young ladies at home have to enter the palace as slaves, wasting their prime years. Such a mundane or subservient life is not what Wuya Xinyue wants. What she wants is to become a true mistress, to have her children born into nobility, never having to be inferior to others.
