Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies

As the final ministers left the court session, the expressions on their faces were unspeakably ugly.

What they needed to do first and foremost was to find out... just which family did the Empress come from? Who exactly was she?

After all, it was the Empress’s throne; it couldn’t possibly belong to a woman without name or fame, right?

If that were the case, where would these noble families put their faces?

So without getting any information from the Emperor, they couldn’t wait to have people go out and inquire.

As for those in the know, the two from the Ministry of Rites and the Observatory... they also wanted to block and question people.

Regrettably, those two had been called away by the Emperor in advance.

Now there was no chance for them to intercept anyone.

An overly forceful and ruthless monarch was not a good thing for these self-serving ministers.

However, this time Qin Ye made no attempt to continue concealing the truth, so these people quickly found out who was about to become the Empress.

It was none other than Rong Yan, the renowned extraordinary woman and manor master of Jinyan Manor.

Who was she? She was Qin Country’s large grain producer and the innovator of mirrors and glass.

She was an incredibly remarkable woman who had become the wealthiest in Qin Country in just three years.

It was said her wealth could rival that of the nation.

Moreover, she was deeply loved by the common people in the lower classes.

The agricultural techniques she taught... led to bumper harvests and allowed the common folk to have enough to eat.

Moreover, her textile factories provided many women with job opportunities, enabling them to earn silver, thus earning their affection and respect even more.

It was said she was extremely beautiful, and though an "old maid" at eighteen, there were many who sought her hand in marriage.

There were also many men who expressed a desire to marry into her family.

After all, she was very wealthy and also beautiful... even though few had witnessed this themselves.

But who wouldn’t want to become rich? It was a fortune that could rival the nation’s.

But no matter what, she was still an orphan, and she had originally come from a peasant background... how could she be a match for the Emperor?

How could she become the Empress?

At most... she could be granted a consort position, right?

So, when these people found out this information, each and every one of them was filled with indignation.

After all, the daughters of their carefully groomed noble families were not favored by the Emperor, but a woman of humble peasant origin had caught his eye, how could they bear this?

It was as if their own noble ladies had been surpassed by this peasant girl, and if this peasant girl became the Empress, then they would be overshadowed by her.

Who could stand for this?

Now, the place where Rong Yan resided became very lively, with several assassination attempts each day.

Unfortunately for the assassins, Rong Yan’s residence was guarded as tightly as an iron barrel, not only by the Emperor’s men but also by some Martial Arts experts.

Rong Yan had money, and she had secretly spent a great deal to hire a group of people, not only to protect herself but also Rong Jin.

Not a single assassination attempt was successful, and many of the assailants ended up captured instead.

Strangely, they possessed unique interrogation skills, and though these captured people should have been tight-lipped, they couldn’t keep their mouths shut once captured.

They implicated all the masterminds behind the scenes.

Those people were in for trouble since sending someone to kill the Empress... was not something the Emperor would take lightly.

Of course, he could not tolerate it, and the first batch to be made an example of were already exiled to the bitter cold lands of the Northern Border.

With such a forceful response and strict protection, who would dare to make another move?

They all speculated... if it weren’t for the Emperor’s concern about the upcoming grand wedding, the punishment might have been more severe than just exile, and Beijing would have been a river of blood.

Amidst everyone’s unwillingness, the Emperor’s grand wedding with the Empress proceeded as scheduled.

The grand imperial wedding ceremony astonished everyone.

But the happiest of all were the common people, because for this wedding, the Rong grain shops distributed grain for three days, allowing each citizen to collect ten catties of grain per person based on their household registration.

For families with many members, they could collect a hundred catties of grain at once, which would last them a very long time, and for those who struggled to find food, ten catties of grain was nothing short of a lifesaving straw.

How many common people were there in the entire nation? How much grain would have to be distributed? This was a grand gesture, and without significant financial strength, how could it be done?

They were grateful.

The Emperor and Empress’s reputation among the people reached unprecedented heights.

Three months after the grand wedding, the Empress was diagnosed with joy... and when it came time to give birth, she had the rare fortune of delivering dragon-phoenix twins, which was considered extremely auspicious.

As if slapping those who had doubted the Empress’s fertility in the face, it was at this moment that Rong Yan truly secured her position on the Empress’s throne, and no one dared to nonsensically accuse her of being a woman who couldn’t bear children, unfit to be the Empress.

Besides, the Empress was not one to be trifled with; her methods were indeed formidable, and none who provoked her came to a good end.

Time flew by, and the love between the Emperor and the Empress deepened. There were no concubines in the harem, only one Empress, something that had never occurred in any previous dynasty.

It is said that an emperor should be heartless, and no one ever believed that an Emperor could be deeply affectionate.

They waited year after year... until the Crown Prince grew up and succeeded the throne, yet they never saw the Emperor take a second consort.

After the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, the ministers shifted their focus of finding consorts onto the new Emperor.

Unfortunately, the new Emperor was also a man with extraordinary tactics, and he dealt with the ministers’ interference in his marriage in a not-so-gentle manner.

Rong Jin was a formidable Imperial Uncle, gaining the title of Scholarly Top Scorer at thirteen and then, abandoning his scholarly pursuits at fifteen to become the martial arts champion, subsequently volunteering for the border.

He went from a junior officer to a general whose name inspired fear.

He was stationed at the border year-round, and even his wedding took place there. Perhaps because he had encountered someone so stunning at a young age, he had never married.

It was not until the age of thirty that he met the woman destined for him, a person completely different from his Sister.

After marrying, his wife bore him a daughter... and this cousin was deeply cherished by the royal family.

As for the people of their hometown... they had known who Rong Yan was since her rise to wealth, but unfortunately, by then they had no way to approach her.

The family in the town who had once sought to take advantage of her had long since fallen into ruin.

This was Qin Ye’s doing as he had people dig up the evidence of that family’s crimes, found proof they were responsible for the murder of Rong Yan’s real father, and had the patriarch thrown into prison and sentenced to beheading in the public square.

Therefore, that vendetta was long settled.

Because the couple both practiced martial arts, they lived somewhat longer lives.

In that era, reaching eighty was considered a long life.

This imperial couple became a legend, with various stories about their loving relationship spreading among the folk...
