Qingyin took the Body Strengthening Pill and Beauty Transformation Pill as usual, as this body could still be nurtured.
If the original owner of this body were to become the Empress Dowager, the candidate would have to be chosen from among the emperors. Yinzhen was indeed good, steady and well-behaved, and had few concubines. However, she did not intend to choose him. The current emperor, Kangxi, was a famously long-lived emperor. Yinzhen was already forty-five years old when he abdicated.
Qingyin did not intend to wait for him to succeed to the throne. Moreover, she had more advantages at the moment. The Tong family was originally the maternal clan of Emperor Kangxi, and several empresses from the Tong family had emerged in the palace. Currently, the one by Kangxi's side was her cousin, Consort Tong Jia Rouwei.
Tong Jia Rouwei was in poor health and would die young in less than two years. This was precisely her advantage, as she could enter the harem directly as Emperor Kangxi's cousin, ensuring that her status would never be low.
Moreover, after Consort Tong's death, the Tong family was supposed to send another person into the palace. In her previous life, it was Tong Jia Qingya, the illegitimate daughter of her sixth uncle, Tong Guowei. However, Qingyin was confident that with her looks, she could definitely persuade her father and sixth uncle to change the choice.
While she was thinking, a gentle, worried voice came from outside. Qingyin snapped out of her thoughts, "Yu'er, Yu'er, open the door quickly, Mother is here."
"Mother, come in."
Madam Tongjia was a gentle and charming beauty; otherwise, she would not have given birth to such a stunning beauty as the original owner of this body.
"Yu'er, don't resent your sister's words. Your sister only scolded you because she likes the Fourth Prince too much." Madam Tongjia gently comforted her frail little daughter.
Hearing Madam Tongjia's words, Qingyin understood that her mother had already gone to Tongjia Wanying's place. Following her usual personality, she threw herself into Madam Tongjia's arms and said coquettishly, "Mother~, I don't blame my sister, but ever since she caught a cold, she has become so easily angered. Did I do something wrong to make her angry and that's why she treats me like this!"
Qingyin planned to subtly sow discord among Tongjia's wives first, making it easier to accept the truth later. In her previous life, after discovering the truth, Tongjia's wives secretly built a living grave at home to mourn their eldest daughter, weeping for her every day and worrying about their younger daughter's fate, ultimately dying young.
Hearing Qingyin's words, Madam Tongjia's eyes were also somewhat dazed. How could she, as a mother, not know about her eldest daughter's changes? However, it was only natural for her personality to change drastically after falling ill. Madam Tongjia, a proper woman in ancient times, would not think of anything supernatural.
After pausing for a moment, she comforted Qingyin a few more times until Qingyin smiled in front of her, and only then did she leave with peace of mind.
