Xueli, a snake demon who had been cultivating diligently in the deep mountains for 500 years, was caught by a passing system just as she was barely surviving a lightning tribulation. She then sough...
Greetings to the immortal!
Sherry looked at the woman in front of her with some surprise.
She was aloof and ethereal, dignified and poised. Even with a hint of sorrow on her face, she remained impeccably dressed and exuded grace.
"Who are you?!" Sherry wondered to herself.
"My first half of life was that of a glorious Crown Princess, and the second half was that of a life of ups and downs, as the wife of Prince Li. Heh..."
As the woman spoke, a slight smile curved her lips.
Sherry nodded. "Yes, she was the first and last Crown Princess of the Qing Dynasty!"
No problem! Yinreng's Crown Princess was from the Guarjia clan (Shi clan).
Speaking of the women in the imperial harem, who were the real winners?!
Aren't we all just going through our own tribulations and dealing with our own karma?
"Actually, I'm still happy! It was all just a dream! A woman's life's honor and disgrace are all dependent on her husband. Whether she is happy or sad depends entirely on her own heart!"
"However, I am still unwilling! The glory of my Shi family is earned by ourselves. Standing behind the Crown Prince is like walking on thin ice, for I am afraid of implicating him..."
"After a busy life, I want to change my way of living!"
"I miss my father! If my father were here, why would I be living in constant fear?"
“I—ah—” Guarjia’s expression suddenly became somewhat distorted.
Sherry was startled.
The two of them, without prior arrangement, thought of the horror movie they had just watched, and felt as if another person was struggling to emerge from beneath that human face...
Eek! Scary!
"Ha! You want to drag Father down with you instead of dealing with that idiot?!" Guarjia suddenly said coldly.
The face of Guarjia was visibly calm on one side, as if it had seen through the vicissitudes of life.
The other side of her face smiled wickedly and seductively, as if a fox spirit had taken up residence there!
Sherry's eyes lit up instantly. Was this the difference between her and someone else's body?
She has an innate charm!
While Sherry was still lost in thought, she saw Guarjia suddenly faint.
Just as Sherry was about to help her up, she saw her get up again, slightly turned to the side, her hair moving without any wind.
With alluring eyes and a seductive smile, she tossed a small wooden sign at Sherry.
"Having handled palace affairs for many years, I know that some treasures can help you. This is my way of showing my sincerity. I have only one request! That is for my son to ascend the throne."
The madman version of Guarjia has a sense of being on the verge of collapse and breaking apart.
Sherry nodded.
Sherry: Is this what later generations call split personality?
System: Could it be the legendary dual-soul body?
They spoke in perfect unison, and then, just as perfectly, fell silent.
"You understand, right?!" The crazed version of Guarjia suddenly teleported in front of Xue Li.
Sherry paused for a moment, then kissed her.
Beautiful lady~ smells so good~
While Sherry was still happily chatting away, the crazed version of Guarjia was momentarily stunned.
Suddenly, she smiled meaningfully and lifted Sherry's chin.
Sherry's eyes sparkled as she pouted.
"You're quite good! Not the sanctimonious old fogey I thought! Mission accomplished, I'll let you have a good kiss!"
Sherry's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously: "You're so charming!"
"Hahahahaha..." The crazed version of Guarjia suddenly burst into laughter, "I like you even more now!"
"However, it's settled! This is our child. It doesn't matter who the biological father is. You just need to be sure that he came from your womb. I have no interest in bothering to raise someone else's child!"
The crazed Guarjia clansman seemed to remember something, and his eyes turned as black as ink in an instant.
"Alright! Don't worry! Now that I'm in charge of palace affairs, I can have plenty of young men under my control!"
Sherry patted her chest repeatedly.
The crazed version of Guarjia smiled back at her and suddenly fainted.
Sherry: So, the first time you spoke, the second time you spoke definitely meant the same thing, right?!
System: Hmm, it's too obvious. That one's dignified and composed, this one's way more unpredictable than you!
Sydney:……
Sydney: Come to think of it, you're a product of high technology, right?! How can you be so superstitious?
System: You dream of becoming an immortal every day, but who knew you even talked about science?!
Sydney: How about we verify each other's points?!
System: Cough, humph!
Sherry: ...That's her subconscious, or rather, her moon sign, or what's commonly known as her second personality!
System: ...So cultured! Therefore, according to the client's requirements, their requested times are different. Besides, the original Crown Princess is also non-competitive, so let the one from before go first. Otherwise, what if she suddenly goes crazy?!
Sherry nodded!
When I woke up, it was already broad daylight.
Sherry closed her eyes to rest, recalling the original owner's life.
The original owner, Yingheng of the Guarjia clan, was the daughter of Shi Wenbing, a third-class earl and commander of the Han Chinese army of the Plain White Banner.
She was the first and last officially appointed Crown Princess of the Qing Dynasty.
The ancestors of the Shi family lived in Suwan and were surnamed Guarjia.
The ancestor was named Buha, who was the Left Commander of Jianzhou during the Ming Dynasty.
Buha's grandson was named Shi Han, a commander in the Ming Dynasty. During the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, he moved to Liaodong and adopted the first character of his name as his Han surname, thus becoming known as Shi.
Shi Hansheng had three sons: Shi Guozhu, Shi Tianzhu, and Shi Tingzhu, all of whom were famous ministers during the early period of the Han army.
In particular, Shi Tingzhu was granted the title of Third-Class Earl and appointed as Commander-in-Chief and Minister of War.
His family was a prominent family in the Han Army and one of the so-called "thirty-three families of meritorious officials in the Han Army". This Shi Tingzhu was the original owner's great-grandfather.
Shi Tingzhu came to join the Han Chinese army under the Plain White Banner during the reign of Emperor Taizu.
He rose to the rank of Gushan Ezhen of the Bordered Red Banner, Zhenhai General, and First-Class Earl, with the title of Third-Class Earl being hereditary.
He died in February of the eighteenth year of the Shunzhi reign. He was posthumously granted the title of Junior Tutor and concurrently Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, and was given the posthumous name of Zhongyong (Loyal and Brave). A stele was erected to commemorate his achievements.
Shi Tingzhu's third son was named Hua Shan, who once served as the General of Dingnan. He married the third daughter of Prince Yutong, Dodo, who was a county princess.
Hua Shan's first son was Shi Wenbing, who served as the General and Commander-in-Chief of Fuzhou. He married the second daughter of Chang Adai, a prince of the Prince of Li's Mansion.
Shi Wenbing had four daughters, all of whom married into the royal family. The original owner of this body was the eldest daughter. Because of her complicated marital relationship with the royal family and her high social standing, her family, as a prominent Han military family, even survived until the late Qing Dynasty.
The original owner was an excellent crown princess.
She was selected by Emperor Kangxi from a young age.
She excels in every aspect, from family background and education to ability and appearance.
It is now August of the thirty-seventh year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1698), and the ninth prince has just gotten married.
Last August, the original owner gave birth to a daughter. She is the third child in her family.
Both the Crown Prince and Emperor Kangxi were somewhat disappointed.
Before the Crown Prince was determined to have a legitimate heir, he had worked hard to win over his wife.
But the birth of his daughter shattered his expectations.
At this time, Consort Li Jia's sons were 9 and 5 years old, respectively, and were at the lovely age of being young and beautiful.
However, the eldest son is physically weak and has been recuperating for many years.
The second child is lively, active, clever, and adorable.
The Crown Prince and Emperor Kangxi also doted on this grandson of the emperor.
The Crown Prince also favored his concubine, Lady Li Jia, and of course, he had many other women in his harem as well.
