In an instant, a large amount of memories and worldviews flooded into her mind, including the object of revenge.
It turned out to be the entire royal family of Shen State.
Jiang Ziyi opened her eyes, and what came into view was the familiar, slightly dilapidated palace that the original owner remembered.
The original owner's mother was a palace maid serving the Emperor of Shen State. The Emperor had sex with her while drunk, and that's how she gave birth to Princess Jiang Ziyi.
Because her mother was of low status, she was only given the title of beauty after giving birth. Naturally, she was the least favored princess. She was confined to a remote palace without even a title. The emperor simply forgot about this daughter. Furthermore, her mother died of illness when she was ten, so Jiang Ziyi's years alone were extremely difficult.
After her mother left, there was not even a palace servant to serve her. Only every once in a while a palace servant would bring her some food so that she would not starve to death here.
She sat up and walked to the bronze mirror to look at her appearance.
She was pretty much the same as she had been before entering this world, with delicate and well-proportioned features, snow-white skin, and smooth, thick hair. Despite being neglected for a long time, she had a good lifestyle. Although she was a little thin, her cheeks had a healthy, rosy glow. She still looked charming and attractive.
As far as I remember, she just came of age last month.
Jiang Ziyi has all the memories of this world, and she knows very well what happened in her previous life.
"Meow~~~" A cat's meow was heard in the yard.
It seems like we've returned to the beginning.
In Jiang Ziyi's memory of her previous life, this cat was the key point in the gears of her destiny.
In her previous life, no one usually approached the remote palace where she lived. One day, a white cat suddenly broke into the courtyard. The cat's owner was Xiao Jingyun, the son of the prime minister of the State of Shen.
At that time, Xiao Jingyun came to Jiang Ziyi's yard because he was looking for a cat. He was attracted by her spirit and beauty when he first saw her. After that, he would bring gifts to see her every now and then. After a few visits, the original owner, who was ignorant of the world, fell in love with this gentle and considerate man, and believed that he would marry her home.
It should have been a happy love story, but unexpectedly, the prime minister was ambitious and his son should marry Princess Mingyue, the most favored daughter of the current queen of Shen State.
Rather than an unfavored princess born to a lowly palace maid.
At that time, the original owner was already pregnant with Xiao Jingyun's child. Fearing being abandoned, she kept pestering Xiao Jingyun to marry her. However, Xiao Jingyun listened to his father's words, suddenly became cold, and stopped seeing her.
Not long after, an imperial edict suddenly arrived, posthumously conferring the title of noble concubine on her mother and bestowing upon her the title of Princess Mingzhu.
The naive girl at that time thought that it was Xiao Jingyun who asked for it for her.
Unexpectedly, because the border war was tense and Shen State was losing ground, the hostile Yao State demanded that Shen State send its most favored princess to Yao State's harem.
It was an unspoken fact that the princess sent there was a hostage.
It is also widely known that the emperor of Yao Kingdom was once poisoned and unable to have children. However, due to the powerful national strength and military power of Yao Kingdom, no one dared to discuss this matter.
Therefore, Yao State made such a request obviously to humiliate Shen State.
The Emperor of Shen was furious, but he had no power to resist. Yet he was unwilling to send his beloved daughter, Princess Mingyue, to suffer.
At the Queen's reminder, the Emperor of Shen Kingdom only then remembered that there seemed to be an unnamed princess in his corner. As long as he gave her a title, dressed her gorgeously, and showed her the utmost favor, he could marry his real "pearl" to the Emperor of Yao Kingdom as an abandoned child.
The emperor immediately accepted the proposal. After all, he had never even met the princess and would not be reluctant to let her go.
The original owner, who learned the truth, could not accept such an outcome. She tried to run to find Xiao Jingyun, but met Princess Mingyue on the way.
“Bang!”
Mingyue slapped her to the ground and looked down at her with a sharp look, as if she was looking at a piece of trash.
"Don't think that you can be safe just because you are pregnant with Brother Jingyun's child. He doesn't care about you as a child at all."
"Your desire to marry the prime minister's son is simply a foolish dream. Don't think you are great just because you are pretty. Brother Jingyun was only temporarily bewitched by you for a while."
"Do you know who suggested that you marry the Emperor of Yao Country on my behalf..." Mingyue paused for a moment to keep the other person in suspense.
Jiang Ziyi actually already had the answer in her heart.
"It was Brother Jingyun who suggested to my mother that there was an unnamed princess in the side palace who could marry as my replacement."
"Brother Jingyun was reluctant to let me go, but he was willing to let you go. Tell me, does he love me or you?"
After Mingyue finished speaking, the corners of her mouth curled up and she looked at Jiang Ziyi who was sitting on the ground, as if she was admiring a broken work of art.
It is undeniable that Jiang Ziyi is very beautiful, much more beautiful than her. She is jealous. She is obviously the most favored and noble princess of Shen Kingdom. She also knows that Xiao Jingyun chose her only because of her noble status.
So she became jealous when she thought about how Xiao Jingyun was naturally attracted to Jiang Ziyi. Anything that made her unhappy should be destroyed!
Fortunately, Xiao Jingyun's feelings for Jiang Ziyi didn't seem to be very deep, so when he proposed to his mother that Jiang Ziyi marry in his place, she knew that she had won in the end, so she was in a good mood.
"Do you know why you can't beat me?" She bent down and pinched Jiang Ziyi's face, staring at her straight. Her dark pupils were like bottomless pools, hiding obvious malice.
