Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Cheng'en Palace.

Central Hall.

A young man in a white robe knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, his head hitting the floor with a thud, and bloodstains on his forehead.

"Father, I won't do it again, please forgive me this once."

"Please, Father, I've already sent the people and the land back, and apologized to them."

Upon hearing these words, the Duke of Cheng'en remained unmoved, only saying, "If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

He waved his hand: "Take him away and send him to the Prefect of the Capital."

The guards standing at the door stepped forward, gagged him, and dragged him away.

Only a whimpering sound remained.

"Father, I will discipline the remaining members of the Shen family and prevent them from causing trouble again until the Second Prince is appointed Crown Prince." The Crown Prince of Chengen said with a cold expression, exuding an unstoppable aura.

On his family's path to heaven, whoever stands in the way dies.

Duke Cheng'en nodded: "Yes, if they can't be controlled, just break their legs and make them bedridden for a year or two. That would be their contribution to the Shen family."

Shen Shizi readily agreed to his suggestion.

"Alright, by the way, Mother, shouldn't you go to the palace to visit Her Majesty the Empress?"

Thinking of the Empress's pregnancy, Prince Shen felt that luck was on their side; the Crown Prince should be the Second Prince, the future Emperor.

"Okay, have your mother and the others go there tomorrow."

He was related to his maternal family, and he also had some words to tell his eldest daughter.

The wind rises.

Kunning Palace.

After taking a short nap in the afternoon, Empress Shen, who usually needed to see the account books, had them taken over. She only needed to read books and look at the flowers and plants outside.

Before she could even go and see the newly acquired green peony...

Her eldest daughter, Princess Showa, and her youngest son, the Second Prince, came into the palace.

Princess Showa is thirteen years old this year. She is a graceful young girl, wearing an inner black embroidered shirt with cloud patterns and an outer silk overcoat.

The person arrived before the voice.

"Mother, Mother..."

Empress Shen smiled helplessly and shook her head at Qiu Yue: "This child is still as mischievous as before."

I don't know when I'll learn to grow up.

"The princess is straightforward and lively, especially in Kunning Palace. Outside, everyone praises her for being knowledgeable and reasonable," Aunt Qiu praised.

There's a saying that goes something like that.

When parents talk about their children, you should never repeat what they say.

Because even dung beetles think their own offspring are the best.

Princess Showa moved swiftly, a smile on her face, her lips upturned. As soon as she entered, her gaze accurately fell upon the Empress's belly.

She slowed down when she was about a meter away from him.

"Mother Empress."

Queen Shen: "..."

They called out to me, but were looking at my stomach.

"Showa," she called out.

Princess Showa snapped out of her daze, a hint of embarrassment on her face: "Mother, I was just curious about your pregnancy." Despite having many younger siblings in the palace...

But he never really looked at those pregnant concubines.

My own mother was the first.

As soon as she finished speaking, another voice rang out: "Curious? Didn't my elder sister see Mother when she was pregnant with me?"

The ten-year-old child had an irrepressible smile on his face, but due to the teacher's instructions, he restrained himself from putting on a stern face.

He also glanced curiously at the Queen's belly, but quickly looked away.

The two men sat on either side of the Queen, one on her left and one on her right.

Princess Showa paused, then pouted and said, "When Mother was pregnant with you, I was two or three years old, so of course I don't remember." At that time, the palace servants were all afraid that she would offend Mother.

They were separated for several months.

They couldn't even rush into their mother's arms for a hug when they met.

Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in her eyes, but the moment she looked up, she returned to being the lively and energetic Princess Showa.

The second prince nodded: "I see."

He doesn't remember anything from when he was two or three years old.

After their conversation, Showa looked at the Empress with concern: "Mother, I heard from the nanny that pregnant women often experience discomfort. Are you alright?"

Her clear eyes were filled with worry.

Empress Shen took her hand. "Don't worry, I'm doing well. Have you all been paying attention in class?"

His gaze shifted from her to the Second Prince.

Showa pursed his lips where no one could see, and the Second Prince answered first: "Yes, Mother, rest assured, your son will study diligently with his teacher."

"I will not disappoint my father and mother."

Empress Shen's eyes flashed with satisfaction, then she looked at Showa, awaiting her answer.

"Your subject will too." Showa raised his eyes and smiled, like a fawn shimmering with iridescent light under the sun.

Empress Shen knew that her two children were sensible.

"While studying is important, remember to rest as well." She looked at Ping An, the eunuch behind the Second Prince, and said, "Remember to remind His Highness not to stay up too late."

Ping An bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness, this servant will take good care of the Second Prince. Please rest assured."

Empress Shen then looked at the female official behind Princess Showa: "You should also remind the princess not to do anything dangerous."

The female official lowered her head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your command."

Showa glanced at the osmanthus cake on the table but didn't take it. The Second Prince, however, wiped his hands clean and started eating the osmanthus cake.

Before long, the palace servants brought out a plate of peach blossom pastries, a plate of osmanthus cakes, and a plate of pine nut and lily pastries.

The three of them ate their own food.

Empress Shen ate three different pieces; she did not value gluttony.

She also wanted to remind her two children to remember to pay their respects to the Emperor.

There was another noise outside the door.

Emperor Yongwen, who had left in the morning, returned in the afternoon.

After taking a short rest, he reviewed several memorials. Thinking of the unborn child in the Empress's womb, he hurriedly came over with a copy of the Analects of Confucius in his hand.

What the emperor wants, the emperor gets.

Seeing that both children were present, he did not show any particular fatherly affection, but simply asked the second prince about the text he needed to memorize.

Ask Princess Showa about her daily life.

After asking the question, he said to Empress Shen, "Let's begin. From today onwards, I will begin the child's education."

Seeing the books in his hands, Empress Shen really wanted to ask, "Whose family has started teaching the Analects?"

But the emperor was in high spirits, and who could refuse the emperor?

"Confucius said: 'To learn and at due times practice what one has learned, is that not also a pleasure?'" Emperor Yongwen's deep and steady voice rang out, and his eyes seemed to be warm because of the sunlight.

A flicker of joy crossed the Second Prince's brow as he walked out.

The emperor loved the child in the mother's womb.

His position as crown prince is secure.

His father's personality was such that he was driven by love and hatred.

While feeling joyful, he couldn't help but develop a unique brotherly affection for the child in the Queen's womb.

He will be a good older brother when she is born.

Princess Showa, standing beside him, had a different thought. She looked on with envy at the harmonious couple not far away, unaware that she had been in her mother's womb all along.

Is Father Emperor also as happy?

She looked down and saw her brother's joy, and she was overjoyed as well. Being favored in Kunning Palace was better than being in any other palace.

If the Emperor always favors the women in Kunning Palace and her younger brother's position as Crown Prince is secure, then can she choose a man without any restrictions on who she wants as her consort?
