Chapter One: Feigned Seriousness



At the foot of the Western Hills on the outskirts of Beijing lies the Summer Palace.

"Get up," Ulanara said, looking at the woman before her. She sighed inwardly, realizing that her original plan would have to be changed.

It's been a long time since any new women have entered the household. With such beauty and a son, it would be a waste to leave Lady Qian out there.

"The Fourth Prince will definitely be brought back to the manor, but Madam Qian, your status is far too low..."

Having made up her mind, Ulanara continued to gently tap the armrest, her voice hesitant, seemingly in a difficult position: "But the Fourth Prince is still young, and he cannot be without his birth mother to take care of him..."

“The Princess Consort is still so kind-hearted.” The old nanny standing behind her interjected, “Forgive this servant for speaking frankly, but with Qian’s background, if she hadn’t been fortunate enough to give birth to the Fourth Prince, she wouldn’t even be qualified to be a servant in our Prince’s mansion.”

“Ah, you are indeed lucky. You managed to climb into the prince’s bed after he was drunk and gave birth to a prince. There aren’t many children in the manor now, so your pregnancy is quite timely… Never mind, Granny Wu!” Ulanara’s fingers, which were tapping on the armrest, stopped. Her tone was solemn, as if she had made a difficult decision.

"The Fujin (Prince's wife) has secured the title of Gege (a lower-ranking concubine) for you. From now on, you will be a Gege in the Yongqin Prince's Mansion." The summoned Wu Mama said arrogantly, "You should know how good the Fujin is to you. Why don't you kneel down and thank her?"

Madam Qian hesitated for a moment while holding the child before slowly kneeling down and kowtowing: "This servant thanks Madam."

"Hmm." Ulanara nodded in satisfaction. "You are a smart one. If you are a little more sensible, your future days will not be difficult. Alright, I will send someone to deliver some things later. Prepare yourself well and come to the manor first thing tomorrow morning."

"Yes," Madam Qian replied in a low voice.

As if she had accomplished something important, Ulanara rose gracefully, took the arm of her nanny, and was about to walk out the door when she suddenly turned back as if she had remembered something and said, "The prince likes quiet, and your temperament is just as good."

After saying that, Ulanara left.

Once the door closed again, the light inside the room dimmed further, enveloping the room in silence.

Qian Shengyan remained kneeling in the same spot, but suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter grew louder and louder, and instead of sounding pleasant, it was rather frightening.

Of course, she was so angry she was laughing in anger!

Having been transported to this godforsaken place for two months, she not only has to take care of her own food and drink, but also a newborn baby.

The original owner of this body died in childbirth. After she transmigrated, she didn't even have time to rest during her postpartum period before having to go out to find food.

Fortunately, I have a good physical foundation. After running around for two months, going up mountains and down to the sea, I finally got used to my current life. But then Ulanara came. Goodness, everything has to start all over again!

"I thought I'd transmigrated into a farming game..." Qian Shengyan sneered, "It's better if I were really a widow! Prince Yong, hmph, Yongzheng, you dog..."

The baby in her arms cried out. Qian Shengyan pursed her lips, suppressing her anger, and lowered her head to kiss the baby's fair cheek. "Fine, he's your father, I won't scold him anymore. But you, you're so pitiful. Which prince or grandson of the emperor is born in this wretched place like you, surviving only on goat's milk..."

No, I can't say any more. If I keep talking, she'll start swearing again. It's not good to swear in front of a child.

Qian Shengyan took a deep breath and decided to endure it.

...But I still couldn't help it, ahhhhh!

The original owner of this body was a perfectly healthy young woman who was bullied by a scoundrel while drunk, and was forced to give birth to her child alone, but died in childbirth on the same day!

She's only seventeen years old, and this is considered her good fortune?! They even managed to get her a princess title?!

If she hadn't majored in history in her previous life, she would have really thought that the position of a concubine was something special!

That bastard Yinzhen! It's a shame she actually liked him when she was in college, even did some research on him and wrote a paper based on him.

Who knew that after transmigrating, she would have to raise his child and be bullied by his wife!

Does he deserve to be his concubine?!

As Qian Shengyan thought about it, she suddenly smiled. She lowered her head and kissed the child, and she wasn't so angry anymore.

It's just the Prince Yong's Mansion, the future Yongzheng Emperor's harem. She studied these people thoroughly when she was writing her thesis, so what is she afraid of?

That evening, looking at the clothes and jewelry that Ulanara had sent over, Qian Shengyan reached out and stroked those exquisite and luxurious items, and wanted to laugh again.

How could she not know what Ulanara was planning?

Unfortunately, Ulanara is destined to be disappointed.

The next morning, Qian Shengyan, dressed in new clothes, carried the baby, who was also dressed in new clothes, into a small blue sedan chair, which swayed and rocked as it was carried into a courtyard.

Before the sedan chair had even come to a complete stop, the curtain was opened, and an older palace maid bent down and stood outside the sedan chair, smiling at her: "Princess, we've arrived, please get down."

"Thank you, Aunt." Qian Shengyan replied gently, taking the help of the palace maid as she got down.

As soon as she stepped out of the sedan chair, she saw a pretty, heavily pregnant woman glaring at her, her eyes practically spitting fire.

Qian Shengyan was somewhat puzzled, and the palace maid supporting her leaned closer and whispered, "This is Consort Geng."

Since they were both princesses, Qian Shengyan didn't feel she should bow, so she nodded to the pregnant woman.

To everyone's surprise, Lady Geng became even angrier, stepping in front of Qian Shengyan and angrily saying, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you gave birth to a son. This is the Yong Prince's Mansion, not a place where someone like you can act recklessly!"

Qian Shengyan: ?

She just arrived and hasn't even had a chance to cause trouble yet. What kind of nonsense is this person spouting?

"This bastard child, who knows where he came from, dares to impersonate the prince's son! Bah!" Geng Gege continued to berate people while heavily pregnant. "He even dares to try and steal my man! Doesn't he know his own worth?"
