In the last days of the last world, Yunyi spent her time traveling and enjoying nature. That kind of carefree life, without thinking about anything or considering anything, was so happy.
When Yunyi received the new task, she was still in a lazy state of mind and hadn't adjusted her mindset.
However, the task in this world is very simple, and Yunyi doesn't need to put in much effort to complete it.
This world is a very familiar Qianlong world. The original body was Consort Zhemin, a concubine of Emperor Qianlong who died young.
Although the original owner of this body and Qianlong's empress were both from the Fuca clan, their statuses were vastly different.
Fuca was the legitimate daughter of the main branch. Her father, Li Rongbao, was the governor of Chahar, and her uncle, Ma Qi, was a cabinet minister during the reigns of Emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng.
She came from a prominent family, which is why Emperor Yongzheng appointed her as the primary consort of Hongli, who was then the fourth prince.
The original owner of this body, although also from the Fuca clan, was only a girl from a collateral branch family, and her father was just a minor official of the fifth rank.
In the capital city, where even a falling brick could hit several first or second-rank officials, a fifth-rank official was simply too insignificant.
Because of the difference in status, Lady Fucha was the primary consort, while the original owner could only be a concubine.
Moreover, in terms of seniority, the original owner was the elder cousin of the primary wife, yet she was so much shorter than the younger sisters in the clan.
However, don't misunderstand, the original owner had no complaints about the primary wife, and her mission was not to deal with the primary wife.
The original owner of this body died very early. When she passed away, Hongli was still Prince Bao and had not yet become the Qianlong Emperor.
But after her death, her soul wandered the world for a long time. She saw that after her death, her son was all alone in the palace, struggling to make a living.
She also witnessed her cousin, who had been very kind to her and would later become Empress Fucha, pass away because of the successive deaths of her children.
Her son was also scolded by his father for his poor performance at the Queen's funeral, and eventually died of depression at the age of twenty-three.
Therefore, the original owner of this body had two wishes: she hoped that Yunyi could protect her children and ensure that both her son and daughter grew up safely.
Her second wish, which she feared would be difficult for Yunyi, was simply that the Empress's second prince could live a good life, so that the Empress would not die prematurely because of the child's untimely death.
This mission wasn't too difficult for Yunyi, and she took it on as a way to relax.
...
The Forbidden City was very cold in winter. Today, since she didn't have to go to pay her respects to the primary consort, Yunyi felt lazy and curled up on the couch wrapped in a thick blanket to read a book.
The room was not very cold because of the charcoal fire inside, but Yunyi was pregnant and therefore particularly sensitive to the cold, so she had to wrap herself in a blanket inside.
It was the end of the fifth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign. Yunyi had been given to the Fourth Prince as a concubine in April of this year.
This year's imperial concubine selection was all for the purpose of choosing a good consort for the Fourth Prince. In the end, he chose Fucha, the legitimate daughter of Fucha Li Rongbao, as the Fourth Prince's primary consort.
It was for this reason that Yunyi, as the cousin of the future Fourth Prince's wife, was chosen by Emperor Yinzhen as a trial marriage princess and bestowed upon the Fourth Prince as a princess.
As soon as the imperial concubine selection ended, Yunyi entered the Fourth Prince's harem. Subsequently, an imperial edict was issued, bestowing a marriage upon Lady Fucha and Hongli.
In July, Hongli married Lady Fucha. She showed no jealousy whatsoever towards Yunyi, the princess who had entered the manor before her. On the contrary, she treated her very well.
In October, the primary consort was diagnosed with pregnancy. The Emperor, Empress, Consort Xi, and the Fourth Prince Hongli were all very happy and bestowed many rewards upon her.
Yunyi was subsequently diagnosed with pregnancy, making the Fourth Prince's harem quite lively.
At that time, Hongli's harem only had his primary wife and Princess Yunyi, and both of them happened to be pregnant.
Seeing this, Consort Xi bestowed two more palace maids, Jin and Chen, upon her son to fill his harem.
Yunyi and the Fujin became pregnant very close together, almost one after the other, but the Fujin was younger than her and her pregnancy was more difficult.
To ensure a safe pregnancy, she skipped the greetings during the first three months and started again after both of them were three months pregnant.
Because of the original owner's mission, Yunyi had to raise the child in her womb, who would become the future eldest prince Yonghuang, well.
At the same time, Yunyi could not allow the second prince of the Fujin to die young, causing her to die prematurely because of the loss of her child.
Although the original owner only asked Yunyi to protect the Second Prince, Yunyi thought that she should go all the way to save him, since it wouldn't be too much trouble anyway, so she decided to protect the eldest daughter of the Fujin as well.
This eldest princess is only recorded in history as having died young. Although she is listed in the order of her birth, she actually only lived for a month and didn't even have time to be named.
Anyway, Yunyi had no other thoughts, the task was relatively simple, and it wouldn't be a problem to rescue the eldest princess along the way.
So after news of the Fujin's pregnancy spread, Yunyi took the opportunity to go and pay her respects to her, and secretly gave her a pregnancy-stabilizing pill.
The pregnancy-stabilizing pills are produced by the system and are of the highest quality. If the princess takes these pills, the fetus will develop steadily in her womb, and even if she is framed, the child will be safe.
After giving the medicine to the Fujin, Yunyi could basically rest assured. As the primary Fujin, Fucha was in charge of the entire inner court, and Yunyi herself would certainly not harm her.
Both Chen and Jin were low-ranking princesses and had no power to harm her, which is why Yunyi said she could rest assured.
The curtain was lifted, letting in a little bit of the cold air from outside, but as the curtain was lowered, the cold air was quickly neutralized by the warmth inside.
Xiange walked in carrying a food box. When she came to her master's side, she didn't dare to get too close and kept some distance between them.
She had just come in from outside, and her whole body was covered in cold air. Her mistress was pregnant and sensitive to the cold, so she should be careful.
After standing still, Xiange smiled and knelt down to pay her respects to Yunyi.
"Your Highness, Qiuyu from the main courtyard just arrived. It was the Fujin who brought you some snow swallow. I took a look, and it's still warm. Please eat it while it's hot!"
Xiange was a maidservant who served the original owner of the body. The original owner's father was a minor official of the fifth rank. He had no concubines in the family, only the original owner's mother as his wife. The family was not as complicated as those large families, so he was raised to be somewhat naive.
If it were a maid in a large family, and her mistress was pregnant, and the principal wife brought food over, how could she dare to accept it without any precautions and give it to her mistress to eat? Who knows if there might be something wrong with it.
Of course, Yunyi didn't imply that the Fujin had drugged Xueyan; she was just lamenting Xiange's naiveté, which was really unacceptable in the inner quarters.
The Fujin was an upright person who treated her concubines well and would never do anything to harm them; otherwise, the original owner of this body would not have had the task of protecting the Fujin.
