That night, she slept very deeply, but woke up very early. Without disturbing the girls, she got up by herself, wearing fine cotton pajamas and wide-legged trousers, with her long black and thick hair hanging behind her back, and soft-soled embroidered shoes.
, walked to the window.
The sun had not yet risen, and there was a hint of coolness in the air. Through the thin window screen, she looked at this quiet courtyard. The huge ginkgo tree covered half of the courtyard, the flower pond was full of flowers, and the entire courtyard was elegant.
And quiet.
This is Chaoyunju in the Lin Mansion.
When the mansion was built, it was probably designed for the eldest daughter. It is beautiful and smart, and the thoughts of a pampered daughter can be seen everywhere. The flower windows on the walls of the courtyard are all different. Even the brick floors are decorated with exquisite patterns... She
Slowly turning around, the weak light came in. There were embroidery tents, beds, dressing tables, vases, embroidery piers, wardrobes, and a lot of boxes and cages on the floor that I hadn't had time to clean up.
She came back three months earlier than in her previous life and lived in a different courtyard than before.
In the past three years since she was reborn inexplicably, she would wake up every morning with a glimmer of hope. She hoped that she could wake up again, one month earlier than last time, so that she could prevent her father's death no matter what. If not.
, it’s better to go three days in advance! Then her mother will not die.
She couldn't figure out why she had such a good life? But since God had good intentions and gifts, why couldn't it be more perfect? One month or three days in advance, why couldn't it? Why? This kind of thought, in her mind
When she first came back, she had to think about it so many times every day that it almost drove her crazy.
She will never forget how painful and unwilling she was in her last life before she died. But the moment she fell into the darkness, she felt the peace of being finally freed, thinking: I can finally see my parents... Then the corner of her mouth showed
A smile that I haven’t had in years...
In her last life, when her parents were still alive, she was a sweet girl in the hands of her parents. Although her mother only gave birth to a daughter, her father always treated them as treasures... She was pampered by her parents and dressed up all day long.
When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, I only know how to compete with my female companions, but I am so ignorant of worldly affairs.
So when her father died suddenly and her mother passed away shortly after, she was completely stunned. Like a bird in a violent storm that could not return to its nest, she lay there in confusion, not understanding what was happening.
However, Aunt Huang, who was usually low-key and docile, suddenly showed her face. The mother quickly took control of the domestic servants because of her son's worth. She sent her parents and everyone around her away. Even the housekeeper Lin Jianfu and his family suddenly disappeared.
The Lin family in the capital asked their eldest uncle Lin Ji to come and take care of the funeral affairs. Aunt Huang was worried that if she went back to the house with Lin Ji now, she, a husbandless aunt... would not be able to control her property and her son Lin Feng. So before Lin Ji arrived, she took care of the family affairs.
My father's study was emptied and all important things were moved away.
Then, Aunt Huang gave her medicine. She had diarrhea like water and fell asleep all day long. When Da Bolin came to deal with the matter, she was dizzy, her face was sallow, and she never woke up.
Lin Ji's ability was limited, his mind was simple, and there were many things in the capital. He could not stay here for too long. He was deceived by Aunt Huang and Grandma Huang. Seeing that everything was well arranged, but she was seriously ill and could not go on the road rashly, he decided to keep them.
A few of them stayed in their hometown for three years and then hurriedly returned to Beijing.
From then on, Aunt Huang ruled the house!
She was locked up in a small courtyard, surrounded by Aunt Huang and Grandma Huang's people. Although she was not hungry or cold, she was not allowed to see outsiders or leave the courtyard. There was nothing in the house... to scare her.
, sarcastic, harsh. She had lived in this environment for three years, and when she came out, she had become dumbfounded and could not even speak.
After observing the filial piety, another person came to pick her up from the capital. When the group arrived in the capital, Lin Zhixiu appeared in front of everyone... timid and cowardly, dull in words and deeds, submissive... a silly girl who could only do what she was told. She was attracted by Mrs. Lin.
We were directly arranged to go to the Wutong Courtyard. Of course, it had been tidied up. The roof did not leak, the walls were whitewashed, the windows could be opened and closed, and there was no weeds in the courtyard.
Aunt Huang's worries are justified... A concubine without a husband and a concubine with no fame, who would care about them? As soon as she returned home, Aunt Huang was arranged by her eldest aunt to a secluded place. On weekdays, there was nothing like this
Human-like.
Lin Feng lived in a small courtyard and was treated as a concubine. Like a young boy, he would follow Lin Tuan and catch the money that fell from his fingers. Once something happened, he would be the one to support him!
Old Mrs. Lin didn't like herself at all, and there were a few others who instigated and framed her. They were punished with a small fine every three days and a large fine every five days. She didn't know how she survived those days.
Old Mrs. Lin was not short of money and was very face-friendly, so Aunt Huang couldn't help but take care of her mother's dowry. But her eldest aunt Yuan was not polite and took away her mother's shop, land and money.
.And the jewelry her mother left for her was too eye-catching, so her eldest aunt did not reach out for the time being. However, her eldest aunt Lin Jiangwan did...
Lin Jiangwan took three sets of them away on the pretext of looking at the appearance of southern jewelry and never returned them. A few days later, her daughter Yan Zhaoyi wore a set of harvest wheat hairpins at the Autumn Palace Banquet, right on top of the three sets.
A set within a set.
It just so happened... Your Majesty, the night before, he dreamed that he had turned into a roc, flying in the sky, patrolling his countrymen. Under its huge wings, there were patches of golden wheat waves. The sun shone brightly.
Shining with dazzling light! The people looked at the scene of the harvest and felt deeply that the Holy One was blessed with profound blessings and protected his people. They knelt down and prayed to heaven, hoping that the God of Luck would protect our Lord and live forever for generations to come.
The emperor was so happy that he woke up laughing. So when he saw Yan Zhaoyi, whom he didn't think much of, wearing a head full of golden wheat ears at the palace banquet... he was really happy.
!
Yan Zhaoyi is the eldest daughter of Lin Jiangwan. She is good-looking, intelligent and talented. What she lacks is the opportunity for the emperor to appreciate her. At this time, she won the Holy Heart and continued to be favored. She soon gave birth to a prince and was promoted to a prince.
To the position of concubine. And all the way to become a noble concubine, directly to the queen position.
And then...ah, then, I can no longer keep the things in my hands. The eldest aunt, the eldest wife, Fang Qunqun, Lin Zhirong...Cousin Xuan, all of them are like wolves...and she is just a wolf in this family.
Lamb to the slaughter.
His father rescued a boy named Li Feng and made great achievements in the northwest. The emperor loved his talent and directly made him a marquis. Li Feng sued the empress dowager's natal family for murder and property seizure, which caused a huge sensation. The emperor appointed someone
The case was tried, and after the case was concluded, the family property was returned. Li Feng had a title and a rich family property. Even though he was over the age of marriage, he became a popular son-in-law candidate in the capital. Mrs. Li, in gratitude for her father Lin Xu's kindness, asked her in private
, if she wanted to marry Li Feng, she would ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. At that time, she was in a difficult situation in the Lin family, and when she wanted to get rid of it, she quickly nodded.
Mrs. Huang was originally discussing marriage with Lin Zhirong. The mother and daughter had their own thoughts, but they both fell in love with Li Feng and asked Mrs. Lin to come to him. Mrs. Lin also felt good, and then she and Mrs. Li opened their mouths and expressed their kindness.
Seeking retribution. But Mrs. Li told Mrs. Lin that what she wanted was the third lady, Lin Zhixiu. Huang and Lin Zhirong were very angry, but knowing that Lin Zhixiu had a close relationship with the Li family, Mrs. Li was not willing to change people easily.
So, I wanted to destroy her. Then, in the eldest sister Lin Zhifang’s husband’s house, she was plotted against.
Originally, the plan was to get her drunk and lure Wang Tianci, a relative of Lin Zhifang's husband's family and the only son of Duke Cheng, to come and harass her. They would then come out to catch her and finally let him take her as his concubine.
Wang Tianci had married a long time ago, and she was very arrogant. She beat, scolded, and maimed the concubines in the family, and she often sold them to those places... He just brought them home, and left them alone for a few days... and then let his wife handle them.
It has to be said that those who plotted against her had the intention of killing her and not letting her die easily.
Wang Tianci had met her before and had already coveted her... He felt that something good was about to happen. He was excited and drank a little too much. As soon as he heard the news asking him to take action, he ran here in a hurry and bumped into Lai's house.
On the body of Prince Cheng who was having a banquet.
Then there is the pig-headed Li Cheng... He also drank a little too much that day, and Wang Tianci was a big man, with powder on his face and a sable fur cloak. Li Cheng was drunk and his eyes were hazy, thinking he had encountered a monster, so he went up
Just one kick... The pig head was born with great strength and had practiced martial arts for many years. It kicked Wang Tianci on the hip bone. He fell into the rockery and could not get up.
And the people who came to catch the rapist happened to see the very drunk Prince Cheng, dragging himself with him after being drunk, and chattering about the story of a vixen he had just kicked. Her clothes... were also torn into a mess by him.
To say that she can only enter the palace of Prince Cheng... But Prince Cheng is handsome, has a rich family fortune, is good at fighting, and is loved by the emperor. How could the people who designed her be willing to let her enter the palace? Even if it is just as a concubine! So let people
She said a lot of bad things in front of Mr. Cheng, saying that Lin Zhixiu was in love with Wang Tianci.
Cheng Wang is a bit stubborn. Even after he sobered up and knew that he had kicked Wang Tianci's thigh shaft, or that he had dragged a girl and let her be found disheveled, he still thought it was no big deal. His plan was
: Compensate some money to the Wang family. Just take the girl into the house. I didn’t want to, but I heard that Wang Tianci was the girl’s crush... and even kicked myself to break her leg. I heard the doctor said that even after she recovered, she would still get sick...
...He thought about it agonizingly for a long time, and then sneaked into her house in the middle of the night to look for her and discuss the matter...
But as soon as she returned home, Mrs. Lin was imprisoned in the ancestral hall for several days on the grounds that she had disgraced the Lin family.
Li Cheng searched around the Lin family, and he actually found him in the ancestral hall. He said that if she didn't dislike her lover being disabled and still wanted to be with him...he would pay more money to let them
Life will be better in the future. If you dislike Wang Tianci because of his disability and don't like her anymore, then enter his palace. He will just treat her as a freeloader and just feed her. He has a lot of money and can afford it...
I just don’t know what to say! This bastard! This pig head! Now that she thinks about it, she is still so angry at this idiot who doesn’t know what to say.
But at that time, she was locked up as soon as she returned home. There was not a soul in the eerie ancestral hall. At night, she couldn't see her fingers, not even a candle, and it was extremely cold.
If the fifth aunt hadn't secretly given her bedding and food, she would have died in it. But even if she stayed like this, she would go crazy if she stayed there any longer. She knew that she was being plotted, and she had long heard that Wang Tianci was a
The libertine already had a group of wives and concubines, no taboo between men and women, and a certain number of people under her command. In comparison, she still had a chance to live in the palace, so she quickly nodded and said she was willing.
That pig head... becomes a king and does things without any rules! Early the next morning, he sent people to pick him up with great fanfare. The old lady and Huang were caught off guard. The people who came were arrogant, but Old lady Lin didn't do anything.
She dared to disobey this prince who was doing everything in heaven and earth. He had no choice but to let her go. She only took a few inconspicuous things left by her mother and entered Prince Cheng's Mansion.
At that time, Li Cheng already had two concubines, Pang and Feng, as well as several maids... The main concubine had not entered the house yet.
Mrs. Pang is the niece of Concubine Pang, the adoptive mother of Cheng Wang. Her identity is displayed there and she is bossy. Mrs. Feng is the birth mother of Prince Cheng and the niece of Concubine Feng Li. She is ugly in appearance, but she is ruthless. Of the two concubines, one is a resident official.
One of my daughters was given as a gift... from Yangzhou. The whole backyard was filled with smoke and smog, and there were quarrels and fights every day, turning it into a mess.
But Zhutou... Li Cheng doesn't care about anything. If you annoy him, he will disappear for ten days and a half. Do whatever you like.
She has a timid temperament, but she is the most beautiful! After entering the house, there are two confident concubines, a thin horse with all kinds of tricks, and a local girl who is a coward... She becomes the target of their unanimous dealings, but none of them can
Consummate the marriage with Li Cheng.
As for the princess, she is Wu Jingxiang, the eldest daughter of the Wu family who was rescued by King Cheng during the autumn hunt... She is a thoroughly scheming girl.
When a scheming girl enters the house, it is like a weasel entering the house. But... she is very capable! On the one hand, she kept the virginity that she wanted to leave to her sweetheart, and on the other hand, she gained the trust of King Cheng. She managed the house in an orderly manner and managed the two sides.
The concubine was so pressed that she did not dare to move. After the marriage was completed, only those who were useful to the princess were left, and the others disappeared without a trace. The house was purified and life was stable.
Wu Dong, the confidant who was in charge of the property for Zhutou, said that he met a woman outside. For some reason, the woman's husband ran over and stabbed her to death. Zhutou was sad and felt that the princess was a talent, so he took her to the house.
A large amount of his private money and property were handed over to Princess Wu.
Princess Wu had to deal with the property all day long, how to manage it, integrate it, and how to allocate it to her sweetheart. So she could no longer take care of the daily life of the house, so she chose her who was obedient, quiet, and had no background. She instilled in her the idea of "a woman's role".
"Self-improvement" theory, and personally guided and enlightened her. In the next two years, she spent countless nights without sleep, studying hard, working hard, growing rapidly, and finally established herself. In the end, various accounts and personnel matters
Management is a piece of cake for her. She can maintain the healthy operation of the palace with the least amount of money. She is so sophisticated and fierce in her methods that even the two concubines can't do anything to her.
Later, after Concubine Pang was killed by Concubine Feng, she was made Concubine Lin.
Princess Wu was also afraid that she would get pregnant and give birth to a child, so she did not agree with her and prevented her from consummating her marriage with Prince Cheng. Therefore, she was still a virgin in the palace for so many years...
Under the control of the princess, King Cheng, a stupid pig-head, worked hard for the fourth prince, killed his opponents for him, and gave full support in the court. His property also unknowingly went into the pockets of the fourth prince.
Finally, the fourth prince succeeded to the throne... Three days after taking the throne, the new emperor quietly came to the palace, dressed in the emperor's imperial robes, and met Princess Wu.
How could such a thing be hidden from her, the great housekeeper of the palace? She already felt that something was not going well, so she quietly watched the two people's performance.
The emperor held the princess's hand and looked at each other with tears in his eyes. The princess held the wine and congratulated him.
The emperor said that it was her contribution that made him what he is today. He also said that if he drinks this glass of wine, their beautiful tomorrow will come. He said that he will let her fake her death according to their plan, and then enter the palace with a new identity.
From then on, the two people shared power and prosperity and were never separated again.
Princess Wu smiled proudly and charmingly, drank the wine, and then died.
He is really dead...
She saw the emperor crying there, saying that he had violated his oath and was sorry for Wu Jingxiang. Because, after he became the emperor, he realized that although he had the greatest glory in the world, he also had greater responsibilities. He couldn't
No matter how he behaves like a young man, he cannot let his emotions influence him to become a holy king, and he cannot use deception to treat his subjects.
Therefore, I can only live up to her in this life.
Haha, what a talent it is to be able to describe ingratitude in such a high-sounding way!
Then the emperor left and the house was surrounded. Li Cheng came to find her. He looked blank and a little confused. But he still said, "You are the smartest and most capable, so I will hand over the house to you. The emperor said that he will let you go."
. I only have one son, and his biological mother is incompetent, so she entrusted you to take care of him. I am afraid that you are the one I am most sorry for in this life. If there is an afterlife, I will repay you."
She said nothing... but chose to trust him! He looked at her one last time and left. Then, the news came that he died in the palace.
Concubine Feng, the biological mother with a pig-headed mouth who said she was "incompetent", took the only son of King Cheng, one big and one small, with wide eyes. She wanted the stewardship of the palace. But she only found it funny and threw everything at him.
they.
The next day, the emperor's decree arrives! The whole family has been given poisonous wine...
It really hurts...
This chapter is an introduction to the content of the previous life. There will be several chapters of flashbacks in the next. Don’t get dizzy... I am used to telling a complete story in one chapter, but I still followed the editor’s suggestion and reduced the word count. I hope it can be included.
