Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

Two hours later, before Lan Wan'er got into the carriage, she glanced at the Crown Princess in front of her, whose face was already quite frightening.

"My lady, have some water, but it's a bit cold." Jinshu hadn't even caught her breath herself when she poured Lan Wan'er a cup of water that had been prepared in the carriage.

"It's alright, you should rest. We'll let them come up in turn later." Lan Wan'er took the water and drank it down in big gulps.

Aunt Chang took out charcoal from the hidden compartment, opened the small stove fixed in the carriage, and added new charcoal.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and after walking for so long, Lan Wan'er felt hot all over, but she also knew that she would feel cold soon after getting into the carriage.

It was already evening when we arrived at the imperial mausoleum.

After some more ceremonies, they stayed at the imperial mausoleum for several days before returning to the capital.

As soon as Lan Wan'er returned to her courtyard, before she even rested, she ordered, "Close the gate and refuse visitors. Tell them I've caught a cold. Get some medicine and brew it up."

The late emperor has been laid to rest in the imperial mausoleum. The most important thing now is the ascension of the new emperor. The women in the inner palace are most concerned with the bestowal of titles, and Lan Wan'er does not want to be involved in this matter with anyone.

Lin came twice but did not see Lan Wan'er. Smelling the medicine in the courtyard, she could only believe that Lan Liangyuan was really sick.

Despite his busy schedule, Xuan Chengyan took some time to return to the East Palace. He spent an hour in the main courtyard discussing matters. Before leaving, he thought for a moment and decided to take a detour.

Lan Wan'er was maintaining the whip when she heard the report. She paused for a moment, put the whip on the table, and calmly stood up to greet the emperor.

After Xuan Chengyan entered, he looked her up and down and asked, "Didn't you say you were sick?"

"I didn't want to discuss the matter of being granted a title with them, so I made up an excuse."

Xuan Chengyan wasn't surprised that she pretended to be sick and refused to see anyone; what surprised him was that she just blurted it out so openly.

"You're quite frank, but you don't even try to hide the fact that you're cursing yourself like this."

"My fate shouldn't be that weak; I can't even stand being told such things casually."

"That's sophistry!" Xuan Chengyan said calmly, "Doesn't Wan'er want to know her rank?"

"We'll find out sooner or later; it certainly won't be too low."

"So confident?"

"If my rank is too low, I'll make a scene," Lan Wan'er joked.

Given her background and current rank, according to the rules, as long as she doesn't commit any major mistakes, she will definitely be granted the rank of concubine when she is officially appointed.

"I won't give you a chance to cause trouble," Xuan Chengyan said firmly.

Xuan Chengyan did not stay long, leaving in less than fifteen minutes.

Inside the warm pavilion, several palace servants looked relaxed, suppressing their excitement.

Lan Wan'er shook her head and continued to maintain the whip.

The Inner Court specially sent someone to take Lan Wan'er's measurements, letting in the hint that she was to be made the crown and robes of a Noble Consort.

Lan Wan'er raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, "A reward."

The original owner was given the title of Zhaoyi, the head of the Nine Concubines, while the first woman to win her heart was given the title of Shufei. She, on the other hand, was quite successful and was directly promoted to Guifei.

Qinghe took out her bulging purse, sent the people from the Inner Court away, and turned around with a wild smile on her face.

"Alright, everyone calm down. There are always variables before the official decree is issued," Lan Wan'er said, trying to calm the atmosphere.

"Yes, I'll go and talk to them right away." Aunt Chang said with a smile, it was worth spending most of her savings to bribe the nanny to come here.

"Granny Qiu, in a few days, some palace maids will probably be released. At that time, report Yunxiu's name."

Granny Qiu is right. Although Yunxiu is not old enough, the Inner Court would not be ignorant if the master wanted to do her a favor.

To this day, she still hasn't seen through her mistress. Her timidity and ignorance when she first entered the palace didn't seem fake. After meeting her family a few times, her personality gradually changed, and she became calm and self-possessed. Just when she thought she was gradually understanding her mistress, her mistress pulled another stunt: rescuing someone with a sword.

She could calmly hand Aunt Xiu back to her former master, and she could also be kind enough to maintain Yunxiu's basic dignity, allowing her to leave the palace and return home ahead of schedule.

On that day, Aunt Xiu and Yunxiu's backgrounds were discovered by Granny Qiu. When the master heard that Yunxiu's family lived in the suburbs of the capital and that she had sold her daughter to make a living during a famine, and that her parents were still alive and had settled down in the suburbs of the capital, the master changed his treatment of Yunxiu.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, there is always a general amnesty. Many people in the harem are released and new people are added. The concubines of the previous emperor who have sons who have been granted official positions and titles will be taken away by their sons to live in luxury. Those who do not have sons, or whose sons are too young, can only go to Ganye Temple to become nuns.

After the late emperor's concubines moved out, the various palaces still needed some tidying up. Therefore, after the enthronement ceremony, only the ceremony for the empress's investiture was held immediately. The empress moved into Weiyang Palace, and the investiture of the others was postponed for several months.

The newly appointed emperor had visited a few times during the day, sitting with Lan Wan'er for a while to look at the two children before leaving.

"Wan'er, which palace would you like to live in? Zhaoqing Palace and Jiashou Palace are both suitable places for the Imperial Concubine to reside." Xuan Chengyan ordered someone to open a map and point out the two palaces to her.

Lan Wan'er knew that the two places he specifically suggested were the places he preferred for her to live. They were neither too far nor too close to the Lizheng Palace, and their scale and decoration largely conformed to the regulations for a Noble Consort, so they didn't need much modification.

But she had her own ideas: "I want to live in Lingqi Pavilion."

"Hmm?" Xuan Chengyan found a secluded spot on the map, puzzled. "Why? This place is so small, it's not suitable for your position. Is it because it's by a lake, surrounded by bamboo groves, and has beautiful scenery?"

"No, it's because it's small, with only one main building and no side halls. I have a bad temper and don't like living in the same palace as other people."

"Little vixen, just say it directly. You'll be staying in Zhaoqing Palace, and I promise you, I will never arrange for anyone else to live there."

"Your Majesty~" Lan Wan'er, having achieved her goal, tugged at his sleeve and acted coquettishly.

Xuan Chengyan pulled back his sleeve: "Don't give me that. You're all talk and no action. When you're begging me for something, you're incredibly lazy."

"Your Majesty, look at you, you see through it but don't say anything!"

Xuan Chengyan angrily reached out to pinch her cheek, but Lan Wan'er nimbly dodged: "Your Majesty, you should go. You are observing mourning; it's not good to stay too long."

Xuan Chengyan laughed in exasperation, rubbing his fingers together: "You just wait."

"Don't worry, I will definitely wait."

The four concubines of the Crown Prince were both happy and worried. Lady An was promoted to Zhaoyi, Lady Liu to Zhaorong, Lady Lin to Xiuyi, and Lady Li to Jieyu. There was a series of other beauties, talented women, and Baolin, who were women whom the Crown Prince had favored in the Eastern Palace.

Could there really be something wrong with this Lady Li? She gave birth to a prince, yet she didn't even qualify as one of the Nine Consorts?

Consort Li was in a bad mood, but she couldn't take it out on Consort Lin, who was of higher rank than her. So she took it out on her servants and son. The Second Prince fell ill one after another, and when the Empress noticed something was wrong, she took the Second Prince away and temporarily placed him in Weiyang Palace for care.
