The cold wind is blowing, it is late in the winter, and the low house is still groggy. Lin Weixi was lying on the bed, her thin brows furrowed tightly, and she could tell at a glance that her sleep was not peaceful.
The sound of cooking gradually sounded in the village, and the farmers had no leisure time. Even in such a cold day, many people got up to burn firewood for cooking. There was also a noise from the main room, the brightest place in the yard, as if Mrs. Lin was getting up. Lin Weixi had vague thoughts, but her limbs were weak and she was trapped in a dream and could not break free.
In the dream-like vermilion courtyard, a maid wore a double bun. The fabric was crisp and bright Lu silk. She lowered her head, as if she did not dare to face the person in front of her. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito’s fly: “Prince Princess, Just now, a message came from the front yard, saying that the prince is busy today and can’t come over. If Madam is not feeling well, then call the imperial doctor to come and take a look.”
The woman opposite seemed to pause for a long time, and after a long while, a hoarse voice sounded faintly: “Busy? I don’t know what is so important, even more important than my wife, who is about to die of illness.”
“Madam…”
“Stop talking, I don’t want to hear it.” The woman coughed twice. She seemed to be trying her best to suppress the cough and refused to be disadvantaged in front of others. The maid standing outside also knew the master’s rules. She held her breath and lowered her head, not looking at the sick and weak appearance of the other party. After a while, the cough finally subsided. The woman did not bother to use tea to moisten her throat, but forced herself to ask: “Who came here to deliver the message?”
The maid looked unbearable: “The Crown Princess…”
“Say!”
The maid sighed and said, “It’s Miss Yunhui.”
“Yunhui…” the woman laughed softly. She couldn’t tell whether it was sarcasm or self-deprecation, “She is the one who can’t compete with her. Sure enough, she still can’t compete with her. She has served the prince for many years and was given this gift by Princess Shen. How can an outsider like me, who has been in love for many years, compare to this?”
Obviously she is the eldest concubine, but she said that she was an outsider. This would definitely be laughed at by other people, but in Prince Yan’s palace, the maid knew that the eldest concubine did not tell the truth.
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have only been married for a year, and they are already worse than strangers. The imperial concubine was so ill that they, the servants, went to the front yard to invite her to the front yard without telling her, but the results became more and more disappointing each time. The maids knew that although the imperial concubine had a tough talk and did not allow them to intercede with the prince, she turned a blind eye to their little actions. It was obvious that the imperial concubine also wanted to see the prince. But no, the prince never came even once.
Lin Weixi was still lying on the simple wooden bed with her eyes closed, but tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes, making the pillow wet. Lin Weixi knew that she was trapped in a nightmare. Even in her dream, her past memories refused to let go of her, so she took her back to Prince Yan’s Mansion and her failed marriage.
Actually, her name was not Lin Weixi, nor was she a woman from this small village. Her natal family in her previous life was very prominent. Her original name was Gao Xi, and she was the eldest granddaughter of a British duke. Her biological father was the only legitimate son of the duke, and her biological mother was the only daughter of Princess Shoukang. She was reincarnated into this kind of family, and her background was quite impressive.
Because of her high status, Gao Xi has been very strong since she was a child. Later, she did not lose face when she got married. She relied on her grandmother’s reputation to get engaged to King Yan’s only son, Gu Chengyao. After the marriage was announced, the whole city was shocked. The eldest princess Shoukang was able to choose Gao Xi as King Yan’s only son. The eldest princess’s face was extremely serious.
Speaking of King Yan, looking at the world, no matter men, women, old or young, even children with Huangkou have heard of his illustrious reputation. The last years of the late Emperor Jianzhao were very turbulent. Concubine Bu was domineering and the powerful eunuchs controlled the court. If King Yan hadn’t come to Beijing in time to bring order to the throne and kill the eunuchs, things would have changed drastically. King Yan worked hard to protect the emperor and quell the chaos. After the death of the previous emperor, he supported the new emperor who was only eight years old to succeed to the throne. The vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty bullied the new emperor’s youth. In the second year, many border areas were about to be invaded. King Yan took the initiative to ask for war and led his troops out of Beijing to quell the chaos. During the days when Gao Xi was seriously ill in bed, news of King Yan’s victory had just come from the front. information. After the good news came, the court cheered. To put it bluntly, the little emperor was young, the Queen Mother Qian was cowardly, and the bureaucracy in the court was in chaos. Now the entire kingdom of Zhou Dynasty was guarded by King Yan alone.
The King of Yan only had one son, Gu Chengyao. Gao Xi was Gu Chengyao’s legitimate wife and her father-in-law had made many military exploits. She should feel honored. It’s a pity that the glory of Prince Yan’s Palace belongs to Prince Yan’s Palace and has nothing to do with her, the Crown Princess.
Gao Xi sometimes also wonders, when she first married Gu Chengyao, there were times when she was deeply affectionate, but why did he become so cold all of a sudden?
I still remember that on the night of her first wedding, when Gu Chengyao took off his hijab, he deliberately avoided everyone and said to her with a smile: “Look, I have finally found you.”
Gao Xi is confused, what does this mean? But the newlyweds were already thin-skinned, so Gu Chengyao regarded her silence as shyness, and smiled lightly and stopped mentioning it. What girl is not pregnant? Gao Xi grew up listening to the achievements of King Yan, and now he can marry the only son of King Yan, who is still such a heavenly person. Gao Xi’s heart was immediately struck, and he became worried and happy. Gu Chengyao’s wife. In the next month, the two of them became very affectionate and almost inseparable. Gao Xi was as happy as if she had fallen into a honeypot. She had seen her mother grow up suffering from the concubine’s anger since she was a child. She never thought that her marriage would be so bad. To be so happy.
But she still misjudged God’s kindness. Flowers will wither, beauties will grow old, and things that are too beautiful will never last long. In just one month, Gu Chengyao’s attitude took a turn for the worse. That day, he looked at her coldly and asked: “Why did you lie? Why did you pretend to be someone else?”
What?
She was sewing clothes for Gu Chengyao at that time. She was not very good at female celebrities because she couldn’t compare with Gao Ran, so she disliked doing it less and less. But now, she wanted to make a suit of clothes for Gu Chengyao with her own hands, pricking her fingers with needle holes without caring. Hearing Gu Chengyao’s words, Gao Xi was confused. What kind of lie? What to replace?
Since then, the relationship between Gao Xi and Gu Chengyao has become cold. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has plummeted. Gao Xi is the eldest granddaughter of the Duke, and has a pampered grandmother who is the eldest princess. She has a very strong temper. Since Gu Chengyao can’t come, don’t come again. Don’t expect her to be like those concubines. The attitude of competing for favor and retaining.
Later, the couple became increasingly estranged and turned against each other. In the end, when Gao Xi fell ill and lingered on the bed unable to get up, Gu Chengyao refused to even look at her.
Gao Xi is a very proud person, but this failed marriage completely destroyed all her pride.
Gao Xi was unwilling to give in when she was dying. What did she do wrong? Why doesn’t Gu Chengyao like her? Even if you don’t like her, why wouldn’t you even give her the last dignity of your wife?
Perhaps because of the unresolved grudges, her soul was not taken away by the bull-headed horse-faced face. She floated in a daze for a while, and then returned to the human world again.
This time, Gao Xi finally knew why Gu Chengyao asked her those two questions and why he suddenly fell out of favor.
Gao Xi saw a book in the vast whiteness. She was confused and tentatively flipped through it. Then she was so shocked by the contents that her whole body became stiff and trembling.
The book contains Gao Xi’s life, but unfortunately, the protagonist is not her, but Gao Xi’s concubine, Gao Ran, the thorn in her side since childhood.
The book says that Gao Ran traveled through time. Gao Xi didn’t understand what time travel was, but this was just a passing fact in the book and was not important. What really concerned Gao Xi was the story behind it.
According to the description in the book, Gao Ran traveled through time and became an unpopular concubine in the British government. She was only six years old and had just suffered a serious illness and almost died. Perhaps he died so that he could be replaced by Gao Ran.
After Gao Ran resurrected his body, Kezi was a six-year-old girl, but her soul was that of a twenty-six-year-old adult. With the help of modern knowledge and adult experience, she pretended to be an idiot, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. He helped his biological mother, the Han family, become the concubine of the British prince’s son. He even taught his biological brother well and was later established as the prince of the prince’s palace as a concubine. When Gao Ran was thirteen years old, she rescued a masked man in a Buddhist temple. She didn’t want to reveal her identity, but the man grabbed her hand and refused to let her go. Gao Ran had no choice but to take off a jade pendant from her body. Let him find it by himself if he can.
Gao Xi laughed miserably when he saw this, and shed tears while smiling. No wonder, when she was a child, she was always criticized by her elders for not being as sensible and considerate as Gao Ran. No matter what she learned, she could not learn as quickly as Gao Ran. Gao Xi originally thought that Gao Ran might really be born smart, but now that she thought about it, Gao Ran was not a child at all. Her age is even comparable to that of Gao Xi’s mother, an old goblin who lives in the body of a child. No wonder she does things thoughtfully.
No wonder Gu Chengyao said to Gao Xi on the day of the wedding, “Look, I’ve finally found you.” No wonder Gu Chengyao said she lied later.
That’s it, that’s it!
Gao Xi was so angry that the corners of her eyes turned red. Her mother, Wei, was the legitimate daughter of the eldest princess Shoukang. The eldest princess was such a child, so it was obvious that she had a pampered personality. Therefore, Mrs. Wei always acted like a noble lady, with a cold demeanor, unwilling to soften her body to coax her husband, and she also refused to behave in a gentle and petty manner. Ever since he was a child, Gao Xi had watched his mother guard a lamp alone, waiting from dusk to dawn, unable to wait for her husband’s arrival. At such times, Gao Xi’s father, the British Crown Prince, was usually in the Han family’s yard.
Gao Xi felt sorry for his mother and was angry with the charming concubine in the west courtyard. But she was a legitimate lady and could not lower her status to live with a concubine, so she studied hard and wanted to compare with Gao Ran, the daughter of the one in the west courtyard. However, the strange thing is that no matter how much effort Gao Xi puts into privately, he is never as thorough as Gao Ran in doing things. Gao Ran could play novel tunes, which surprised even the piano teachers. She invented backgammon and checkers, which attracted brothers and sisters in the tribe to make friends. Sometimes, Gao Ran would blurt out some extremely exquisite poems, but when asked again, Gao Ran smiled faintly and said that he only came up with this sentence and forgot the rest.
No one believed that Gao Ran had really forgotten such a subtle poem. They just felt that she was hiding her clumsiness. For this reason, everyone in the mansion valued her more and more. Gao Xi was under great pressure from such a concubine. Fortunately, Gao Xi’s identity was thrown out of Gao Ran. Under the auspices of the eldest princess Shoukang, Gao Xi and Gu Chengyao of the Yan Palace were engaged. Gao Xi once thought to himself that she finally defeated Gao Ran. There is no one in the capital with a higher status than Gu Chengyao. Even if Gao Ran keeps jumping around, his husband’s family will definitely be lower than him in the future.
It’s a pity that the world is so funny. Gao Ran once rescued a man in a Buddhist temple. By coincidence, this man was Gu Chengyao. At that time, Gao Ran pulled a jade pendant off his body in order to escape. The jade pendant was in the shape of a Pisces and was originally a pair. It was made by someone outside and given to Gao Xi. Gao Xi thought the carving was quite exquisite, so he casually gave half of it to Gao Ran.
That was originally Gao Xi’s jade pendant. Gao Ran was afraid of getting into trouble, so he took Gao Xi’s things out to ward off trouble. Gao Xi gave the things in private. If someone came to the door in the future, it would be Gao Xi who was in trouble.
Gu Chengyao fell in love at first sight with the mysterious woman who saved him on that moonlit night. Although he didn’t meet her, he already decided not to marry her. By mistake, Gu Chengyao used this half jade pendant to find Gao Xi and get engaged to Gao Xi. He fully thought that Gao Xi was his savior. In the first month after their marriage, the two of them had a good relationship. However, in the second month, Gao Xi returned to her parents’ home. Gu Chengyao accompanied her back and met his wife at the British government palace. Wife’s sister, Gao Ran.
Gao Xi was repaid, lied to, and abandoned without knowing it.
The vicious sister-in-law who deceived feelings and replaced kindness was exposed, and her marriage was unfortunate. Gao Xi also had a strong personality. The more Gu Chengyao ignored her, the more she wanted to prove it to everyone. Gao Xi personally managed the Prince Yan’s Mansion, drastically rectifying the property and shops of the Prince Yan’s Mansion, suppressing the people around Gu Chengyao internally, and competing with Yunhui, the personal maid who had served Gu Chengyao for ten years. Gao Xi fully believed that as long as he was good enough, he would succeed. Gu Chengyao could see her goodness and change his mind.
But she endured herself until she died, but she still couldn’t wait for Gu Chengyao to change his mind.
If the story only ends here, Gao Xi can just sigh that he has no luck and does not have enough fate with Gu Chengyao. However, the story in the book is only half-way through, and the real climax has just arrived. After the death of Gao Xi, the failed eldest sister’s legitimate wife, the British government also felt that Gao Xi was unqualified, and he was simply a collection of counterexamples for being a wife. The British government felt guilty for Gu Chengyao, so they proposed to marry Gao Ran to fill in the house. Of course Gu Chengyao agreed, so not long after Gao Xi died, Gao Ran married as his second wife.
After Gao Ran married into Prince Yan’s palace, she was gentle and carefree and followed Gu Chengyao in everything. Gu Chengyao also cherished the lost and found people. The two had a close heart and knew each other. Gu Chengyao later became sincerely moved towards Gao Ran, and even dismissed his concubines for her sake, pampering her alone. Many years later, Gu Chengyao took over the mantle of King Yan and became the new mainstay of the court, but even so, he never took any concubines again.
The entire second half of the book is filled with the sweet daily life of Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran. Every line expresses how much Gu Chengyao dotes on Gao Ran and how smart and capable Gao Ran is. She is a graceful and considerate wife, and everyone in the Yan Palace Dear Crown Princess. When people in the capital praise Gao Ran, they always bring Gao Xi out and use Gao Xi’s complete failure to contrast Gao Ran’s high emotional intelligence. Finally, they also sum up: “Sure enough, you can’t just marry a woman based on her family background, but her character and temperament.” The most important thing is that the eldest daughter of the British Duke and the Crown Princess of Yan are the best examples.”
Look, Gao Xi, the original wife, is not even qualified to be called the Crown Princess.
When Gao Xi saw this, she no longer wanted to read any more. She closed the book and let tears fill her cheeks.
The Buddha said that there are seven kinds of suffering in the human world: birth, old age, illness and death, resentment and hatred, separation from love, and failure to seek.
Gu Chengyao is what Gao Xi wants. She has not been very good at pleasing her father and male elders since she was a child. After marrying the person she likes, she sees that he ignores her, so she has to hide it with toughness and indifference, and then spends everything Strength draws him back. Until she exhausted herself and died of depression, her husband never came back.
In fact, when Gao Xi died, he knew that Gu Chengyao was young and had an outstanding family background, so he would definitely marry again in the future. With the power of King Yan, there were many aristocratic women in the capital with family backgrounds not inferior to hers rushing to marry Gu Chengyao. Step-in-law, but that person cannot be Gao Ran. Gao Xi hurriedly scanned the second half of the book, and then she realized that Gu Chengyao would turn around and turn around to ask for help, and he would also put down his body to please women. He even had deep love and no regrets, and could protect one woman like a jade and never touch other women.
Gao Xi saw a word in the book, scumbag. Even if Gao Xi had never heard of it, he could guess the meaning of the word just by reading the words. Is Gu Chengyao a scumbag? It seems impossible to say that he would also be deeply in love, and he would only drink a spoonful of water, but this deep love was not given to Gao Xi after all.
Gao Xi was in great mourning, and his vision gradually blurred again. Before losing consciousness, Gao Xi saw a delicate and delicate girl smiling shyly at her: “Sister benefactor, I am going to find my father. It has been six years. You saved me before, but I can’t repay you, so I have to ask you to live on for me.”
Gao Xi was confused and didn’t know how long she slept. When she woke up again, she saw a half-old bed tent, a gray wooden cabinet, and a pair of slender white hands.
It seemed to be very noisy outside, with many people making noisy noises. Gao Xi vaguely heard words such as “martyrdom for the country”, “King Yan’s request”, and “confessed as a marquis”. Gao Xi walked to the dressing mirror with his weak body and stared at the face in the mirror for a long time.
Yes, Gao Xi, the eldest granddaughter of the British Duke and Crown Princess of Yan, is dead. From today on, she is Lin Weixi.
