Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Yue Ling went to Xie Che's place, and Yao Fei Ran often sent some supplies to make her presence known. Half a month later, Xie Che recovered and returned home.

Yao Feiran glanced at Xie Che and noticed that his gaze towards Yue Ling had changed somewhat.

At least he's no longer an insignificant character.

Yao Feiran stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on your safe return. I also have three pieces of good news to report: Concubine Liu, Concubine Zhang, and Concubine Wang have all been found to be pregnant."

Xie Che: "..."

Xie Che remained silent for a long while before finally revealing a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."

Over the years, he has had too many sons to remember them all, except for the few sons raised by the Crown Princess.

However, having many sons was not a bad thing for him. His mother said that the people chosen by the Crown Princess were all easy to raise, and later his mother was also keen to let the Crown Princess choose people to enter the mansion.

Moreover, the Crown Princess devoted herself to these children, but the number of exams was too many, and some children often couldn't take it and came to her crying.

"How is Concubine Zhao?"

"Concubine Zhao's fetus is doing well; the imperial physician comes to check her pulse every day."

Yao Feiran's expression remained unchanged. Since there were people specifically taking care of her, she was just giving orders. In Xie Che's heart, Zhao Yunshu was always an innocent and simple woman, so naturally she had to take care of her all the time.

That evening, Xie Che went to Zhao Yunshu's place.

Yao Feiran took Yue Ling out for a hot pot meal.

In the evening, after listening to the homework of several little girls, Yao Feiran went to bed early.

"In the next world, I hope I can lie down and relax."

"Dream on." The Reversal Bead bounced around in her mind: "You need to work hard. You don't know how much energy I've wasted protecting these children."

"..."

Not long after, Xie Che ascended the throne as emperor.

Yao Feiran was also promoted to Empress. Not long after Xie Che ascended the throne, Zhao Yunshu gave birth to a male heir. As Xie Che's first child after ascending the throne, it had a special significance.

Xie Che said to Yao Feiran that very day, "I want to bestow the title of Consort Chun upon Zhao."

Yao Feiran wasn't too surprised. Although she didn't let Zhao Yunshu serve Xie Che, Xie Che would still be attracted to Zhao Yunshu. This time, he gave birth to a son on the very first day of Xie Che's reign, and he couldn't wait to promote Zhao Yunshu.

"I understand."

As she spoke, Yao Feiran took out a booklet, which was a list of the concubines in the harem. It included the date they entered the palace, their family backgrounds, and the children they had given birth to.

"Your Majesty, I believe that these women who have been granted the title of Consort all have children and have been living in the mansion for so many years."

Xie Che glanced at the densely packed people, almost all of whom had given birth to one or two children. Their backgrounds were no worse than Zhao Yunshu's. Moreover, only concubines could raise children on their own. These people's children were seven or eight years old or even older. It was impossible for their birth mothers to be noble ladies.

"What the Empress says is true. Luo Yuqin will be made a Noble Consort, without a title. Yue Ling will be made a Virtuous Consort. The other ladies will be Consorts, without titles. These people will be made Concubines."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

When Zhao Yunshu learned that she had been promoted from a concubine to the rank of Consort Chun, she was overjoyed. She picked up a golden melon seed and gave it to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, asking, "Could Eunuch Liu tell me the ranks of the others?"

Liu Gonggong showed no obsequiousness, but simply stepped aside, revealing a group of eunuchs behind him, each carrying a bundle of imperial edicts.

If it were an imperial edict for conferring titles to those below the rank of concubine, one edict would generally cover all of them. However, for concubines and above, each person would receive a separate edict. Zhao Yunshu's expression changed instantly, and a look of humiliation appeared on her face.

In his previous life, Xie Che was extremely stingy with the ranks after ascending the throne, even the rank of concubine was not ranked high. But this time, judging from the number of imperial edicts, there are countless ranks of concubine and above.

She was still at the bottom of the list.

Ignoring the changes in Zhao Yunshu's expression, Eunuch Liu hurriedly left again. After all, the workload was too great. Although they had split into several groups, it was still a tight schedule to finish before dark.

Zhao Yunshu was furious, but looking at the baby in the swaddling clothes, she slowly calmed down.

It doesn't matter. His son is definitely the smartest. Now that Xie Che is slowly being won over, he will always show favoritism. No matter how many sons he has, the emperor's heart will always be biased.

.......

Because the palaces in the harem were in short supply, even concubines could not occupy an entire palace. Basically, at least two concubines or more could live in one palace. Zhao Yunshu was given a separate palace because she was favored by Xie Che.

Now, many people in the harem have taken notice of this woman.

They usually don't show their talents, but now we realize that the Zhao family holds a special place in His Majesty's heart.

Yao Feiran has gradually become more Buddhist-like. The princes in the harem have all gone to the Imperial Study to study, and when they reach a certain age, they will have special residences. All she needs to do is take good care of Xie Wan. Xie Wan has now been named the eldest princess and is very well-behaved and sensible. Yao Feiran has already started to look for a husband for her.

There will be a New Year banquet in a few days, and all the young talents in the capital will come to the palace to attend.

At the banquet, Xie Wan sat next to Yao Feiran, her eyes darting around. She knew that this was her mother showing her the husband she wanted to meet.

After staying there for a while, Xie Wan felt extremely bored. Seeing that the other younger princes and princesses had gone out to watch the fireworks, she started to complain that the air outside was too stuffy.

"Mother, I see that my third brother and fourth sister have gone out. I want to go out and play too."

Wan Feiran rolled her eyes at her pitiful expression.

"Chuntao, Dexi, you two stay with the princess and don't let her run around. If anything happens, don't blame me for being impolite."

Wan Feiran then pointed to several guards to follow Xie Wan. With so many people and so much chaos, it was never too much to be careful.

Xie Wan went there happily.

Xie Che kept staring at Zhao Yunshu, his eyes filled with worry. Zhao Yunshu would glance back at Xie Che from time to time, and the two seemed to be exchanging glances.

The air around them was thick with jealousy, and many of the concubines couldn't eat. Zhao Yunshu's gaze felt like a knife.

Sometimes, Yao Feiran felt that Xie Che was naive, wanting a woman who was devoted to him and innocent and kind, but such a woman could never survive in this harem.

Zhao Yunshu was nothing more than a shell.

That night, Xie Che went to Zhao Yunshu's place again, and Xie Wan also came over. She was covered in sweat, and her eyes were sparkling.

"Mother, they were releasing lanterns over there. I ran over and found that the Marquis of Wu'an's heir seemed to be organizing everyone to play a drinking game. He also said that there was a phoenix lantern that would suit my daughter."

Shen Yanci, the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an? Wan Feiran's face didn't show much expression, but her eyes grew colder.

"Tell Mother, why did the Marquis of Wu'an's heir give you the lantern alone?"

Xie Wan looked embarrassed and then said coquettishly, "I'll tell Mother, will you not blame Aunt Chuntao and the others?"

"What?"

"I was standing in the crowd just now when someone accidentally pushed me, and I ended up right in the middle of them, stepping on Young Master Shen's fan that was on the ground. But Young Master Shen didn't blame me."

Seeing Xie Wan's budding affection, Yao Feiran knew she had been tricked. Shen Yanci was a famous young talent in the capital, not only handsome but also very clean, and he didn't even have a concubine.

Most women would easily develop feelings of attraction upon seeing such a woman.

However, Yao Feiran ruled him out first.
