New book is open: "Qing Dynasty Transmigration: Fourth Master's Beloved Consort", welcoming new and old friends to follow.
Before transmigration, Lin Mengyao was a leftover woman ...
Fourteen's shoulder was injured, but his heart was wounded even more deeply. His complex feelings for Zhu Wanyin plunged him into despair. They were natural enemies, yet also natural adversaries.
That day, after Wanyan was stuffed into a carriage in a sack by several men, she was inexplicably dumped somewhere. Her hands were still bound behind her back, and she remained trapped inside the sack. Wanyan, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, had never experienced such suffering and was immediately terrified.
Finally, she was inexplicably thrown from the carriage, covered with a sack, in front of the Fourteenth Prince's mansion.
What a sorry sight! When the gatekeeper opened the sack and found it was their princess consort, his face showed astonishment as if he had seen the sun rise in the west.
Wanyan also fell ill and took medicine for a week before she recovered. She remembered that when the woman kicked her off the carriage, she said something like, "The Fourteenth Prince is so good to you. If you keep arguing with her, she'll slash your face next time!"
After lying in bed for a week, Wanyan figured out the "cause and effect" of her inexplicable kidnapping, and then she went to find Fourteen.
"Fourteenth, I have something to say to you! You may all leave." Wanyan came to the front courtyard of the Fourteenth Prince and spoke to him, who was lying on the bed reading a book.
The eunuchs and maids serving the Fourteenth Prince all glanced at him, and seeing him nod, they quickly withdrew. This young couple was high-energy; they could easily ignite a fire, so they had to get out quickly, or they would be caught in the crossfire.
"Fourteenth, I'm asking you, do you have a mistress outside?" Wanyan asked, clutching her handkerchief tightly.
Fourteen still had gauze wrapped around his left shoulder. He had been staying in his room for the past few days, not wanting to go anywhere. He just wanted to heal his injury and then think about how to forget Zhu Wanyin.
"Aisin Gioro Yinzhen! I'm asking you a question!" Wanyan Jinzhi exploded when she saw that the Fourteenth Prince seemed unwilling to talk to her. From the day they married, they had barely spoken a word. When the Fourteenth Prince reluctantly lifted his red veil, Wanyan Jinzhi was immediately attracted to this handsome young man, but he refused to win her favor, refusing to fall at her feet like the other princes and nobles who had pursued her before. This greatly displeased Wanyan Jinzhi. The Fourteenth Prince, on the other hand, had never even met Wanyan Jinzhi, so he couldn't say whether he liked her or not; he was simply forced into marriage. Therefore, the rather arrogant Fourteenth Prince naturally harbored a natural aversion to Wanyan Jinzhi, because he had been forced into this marriage.
"Are you bored and have nothing better to do? Where did I get a mistress from?" Fourteenth Prince ignored her.
"Then why did those villains who kidnapped me say, say..." Wanyan's face turned red with anxiety, but she couldn't really say anything.
"What did they say?" Fourteen asked, seeing Wanyan's expression. After learning that Wanyan had returned safely, he hadn't gone over to comfort her properly; his mind was entirely on Zhu Wanyin.
"In short, she threatened to ruin my appearance if I argued with you again," Wanyan said angrily.
Fourteen was taken aback by such a statement, and a mix of emotions welled up within her. The woman had appeared fierce and menacing in front of her, threatening to depose Wanyan Shi, yet in front of Wanyan Shi, she had been advising her to cherish herself.
"Since that's the case, you should restrain your temper and manage the household affairs well for me," Fourteenth said to Wanyan.
"You admit you have a mistress?" When Wanyan heard the Fourteenth Prince say this, she mistakenly thought he had admitted it.
"I have never admitted to anything. I am tired and need to rest. You may go back." Fourteenth Prince despised Wanyan's arrogance and willfulness, so he never wanted to get along with her.
"Aisin Gioro Yinzhen, how dare you keep a mistress! I'm going to the palace to tell Mother!" Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince was ignoring her, Wanyan Shi felt even more angry and couldn't vent her anger.
"Your mother has so many things to do, and you always want to talk to her about everything. Why don't you learn from the other sisters-in-law and handle your own affairs?" Fourteen said angrily.
"You must explain this to me clearly, or I will tell Father Emperor. I want to go back to my parents' home!" When Wanyan thought about how she had not had a single happy day in the years since she married the Fourteenth Prince, she felt bitter. This commotion only intensified her desire to return to her parents' home.
"Nonsense!" Fourteen pulled the blanket up to cover his head and face.
"You!" Wanyan stamped her foot, wiped away her tears, and turned to leave.
Upon returning to the main courtyard, she immediately instructed her wet nurse and dowry maids to pack her things, crying as she wanted to go back to her parents' home.
"My princess, what have you done to the fourteenth prince this time? You can't just go back to your family home whenever you want," the wet nurse said.
"Why can't I go back! My father and mother would never let me suffer like this here!" Wanyan sat down heavily in the main seat, her handkerchief almost torn to shreds.
“Princess, do you think the old prince and his wife are still the pillars of the Jin Kingdom as they were before? The Jin Kingdom no longer exists. You can't keep throwing tantrums like before. The Fourteenth Prince is a prince; how can he tolerate you like this?” The wet nurse was genuinely concerned for Wanyan's well-being and earnestly advised her.
“But, but he actually keeps a mistress! The last time I was kidnapped, it was his mistress who did it! How can I bear such a disgrace!” Wanyan cried.
“Princess, as long as you are still the Fourteenth Prince’s wife and the mistress of this mansion, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Let the Prefect of the Capital investigate your kidnapping. The Fourteenth Prince is injured; you should be concerned for him, not causing trouble!” The wet nurse was truly impressed with the princess she had raised. She didn’t understand men’s feelings at all; instead of trying to win them over, she just threw tantrums. No man would like that!
"Nanny, why are you always speaking up for him? He's driving me crazy!" Wanyan said to her nanny in a coquettish tone.
“My dear princess, your wet nurse is saying all this for your own good. If you continue to cause trouble with the Fourteenth Prince like this, and the concubine gives birth to a child before you, you will regret it later,” the wet nurse said.
"So what if a Chen woman gave birth to a princess? I don't even consider them a threat," said Wanyan.
"Princess, what if another prince is born? You can't continue to be so willful. It's important to get along well with the Fourteenth Prince and give birth to a legitimate son!" the wet nurse said. This Princess Wanyan is truly spoiled; she's completely out of her mind. What are we servants supposed to do?
