Chapter Three: The Legend of Zhen Huan - Fang Jiachunyi 3
As for the original owner's wishes, the owner of this body had no wishes, so Consort Hua's fate was not good. In despair, she committed suicide by hitting her head against a wall, and Zhen Huan could be considered to have avenged her.
So the original owner just wanted to reincarnate as soon as possible. She was very satisfied if she could borrow a useless body and skip the line to be reincarnated.
After all, the underworld is quite crowded, with many people being reincarnated, and occasionally a few people with connections come along. She had to wait in line for a long time!
Lan He: "Your Majesty, Consort Xin has brought Princess Shuhe to pay her respects."
It must be said that Consort Xin was quite perceptive; she waited until the palace servants had finished packing her luggage before coming to pay her respects.
They even went to the prince's residence to bring Princess Shuhe over; Princess Shuhe was only four years old.
(To clarify, in the drama, Consort Hua said that if it weren't for her, Wenyi would have been sent to the Prince's quarters, which is why I wrote that the princess would also have been sent there.)
Logically, princes and princesses should be raised by their mothers and sent to the princes' quarters at the age of six, but that was a special case for those of the rank of concubine or above.
Unless the emperor grants special permission, children of concubines and below must be sent to the princes' quarters at birth to be raised by wet nurses.
"Consort Xin of the East Side Palace greets Consort Ru. May Consort Ru enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
"Greetings to Consort Ru."
Hsin Chang-zai's crisp voice blends in with Shu-ho's childlike voice, creating a strangely harmonious sound that evokes a sense of love.
"Sister Xin and Princess Shuhe, please get up. There's no need for so much formality in Chuxiu Palace."
Fang Jiachun personally helped the two who were bowing to their feet. Although Fang Jiachun was of a higher rank, she still addressed her as Sister Xin.
After all, she was an old servant of the Prince's residence and had Princess Shuhe as her mother, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to actually let people call her Consort Ru.
And she's only fourteen! She's the youngest among the concubines in the harem! Calling her "elder sister" would make her sound too old! (Important point!)
"Consort Xie Ru."
Xin Changzai led Shuhe, and the two sat down on the bench.
"Sister Xin and Shuhe have arrived just in time! Siqin just went to check on the small kitchen and made a few plates of pastries. Siqin's cooking is excellent, you should try them!"
It's true that she was affected by her body at fourteen, and it's also true that she was acting. After all, who among the concubines in the imperial harem doesn't have a persona?
The original owner's innocent and adorable character was just right, and there were no concubines with that kind of character in the harem.
Xin Changzai picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, took a bite, and her eyes lit up: "The taste is good, no less than that made by the chefs in the imperial kitchen."
"Delicious!" Shuhe took a bite of the milk cake in her hand. From her squinted eyes and slightly swaying legs, you could tell how much she loved the cake.
"That's right, that's why I brought Siqin to the palace."
Fang Jiachun slightly raised her chin, her little face looking incredibly adorable.
Her somewhat childlike face evoked a sense of maternal love in Xin Changzai.
"I wonder if Consort Ru would mind having a couple more pastries?" Consort Xin smiled, her beautiful face tinged with a hint of allure.
Xin Changzai's appearance is undeniable, possessing both heroic spirit and charm. In the original story, she was originally very favored, but she faded into obscurity due to a miscarriage and the influence of Consort Hua.
In addition, it just so happened that the new imperial concubines were entering the palace, so Consort Xin, an old friend, was naturally forgotten.
Poor Consort Xin, despite being the daughter of a fourth-rank military officer, pregnant with Princess Shuhe, and having suffered a miscarriage before, she was only a lowly Consort.
It should be noted that Cao Qinmo, a young lady from a poor family, was also pregnant with a princess and was still a noblewoman.
Although Cao Qinmo was a Noble Lady because of Consort Hua, Xin Changzai's rank was truly undeserved.
Alas, due to the deletions and merging of plot points in the adaptation of the novel into the film, Consort Xin and Princess Shuhe have been wronged.
"Of course I don't mind!" Fang Jiachun readily agreed. As they belonged to the same palace, they were naturally on the same side.
No one wants to fight outside, but they'll fight back at their lodgings anyway, except for a few individuals.
