Wei Zhen loved to imitate Wei Zhen, learning her manners, handwriting style, and dressing style. She even wanted to learn how much Wei Zhen's mouth corners would be raised when she smiled!
Gradually, as he learned more, Wei Zhen's appearance became more like Wei Zhen's.
Wei Zhen was like looking in the mirror every day. Sometimes, even Grand Tutor Wei and Madam Wei were confused as to which one was their biological daughter... In such a situation, how could Wei Zhen not be afraid?
She had read a storybook that said this kind of person was here to steal her luck, until the substitute completely replaced her!
Wei Zhen was not a pushover either. At that time, she was on good terms with Prince Yan, who was powerful and the only candidate for the crown prince. Wei Zhen complained to Prince Yan. Prince Yan had a perverse temperament to begin with, and after hearing her complaint, he immediately ordered his men to strip off Wei Zhen's ornaments and clothes in front of all the princes and ladies at the Spring Banquet, and sternly warned her that if she imitated Wei Zhen again, he would dig out her eyes, leaving her with nothing to see and nothing to imitate!
Wei Zhen finally felt relieved.
However, she didn't expect that Wei Zhen was so shameless.
After suffering such a great humiliation, instead of seeking death, he shamelessly went to Wei Ju and Wei Tai Shi's wife to complain.
Everyone in the Wei Mansion, except Wei Lan, scolded Wei Zhen, especially Wei Ju. Originally, he loved Wei Zhen the most, but unexpectedly, he scolded Wei Zhen the harshest.
Wei Zhen ran away from home crying and entered the palace, where he stayed with the queen for over a month, but no one from the Wei family came to look for him.
Wei Zhen was really angry. Why should she make room for that fake product?
When she returned, she found that her place had been taken by Wei Zhen. Her parents were coaxed into smiling faces by Wei Zhen, and her eldest brother was even more stunned. The whole family had such a harmonious atmosphere. If Wei Lan had not seen her and called her, she would have felt as if she had come to the wrong house.
Grand Tutor Wei scolded coldly, "You still remember to come back!"
Wei Zhen returned to her bedroom in silence. Fortunately, her bedroom was not occupied. Wei Lan saw that she looked unhappy and came over to persuade her, "Why bother to argue with her? She is an adopted daughter after all. Outsiders only recognize you, Wei Zhen."
What Wei Lan said was not groundless. At that time, Wei Zhen's talent and reputation were well-known and he had won the favor of His Majesty. These things could not be imitated.
Wei Zhen suddenly came to his senses. As long as the world knew who she was, it would be enough.
Since then, Wei Zhen worked even harder. Internally, he practiced poetry and calligraphy, and externally, he made friends with princes and noble families, and became famous.
Wei Zhen was the only woman who could make a violent man like Prince Yan dare not treat her with disrespect and speak loudly to her. She had a brother-sister relationship with Prince Wei Zhao Rui and was Prince Shou's elder sister... As long as they were royal relatives or children of nobles whose names could be called, she would have some say in the matter.
Finally one day, His Majesty made the final decision and appointed her as the Crown Princess before the Crown Prince was appointed.
At that moment, Wei Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Wei Zhen, a knockoff is still a knockoff after all. Wei Zhen's talent, breadth of mind, and vision... everything about her is something that no one else can imitate. Wei Zhen could still pretend nothing happened at first, but when Wei Zhen was named Crown Princess, her defenses were completely broken. That day, she got drunk and cried to Wei Ju, "Brother, I envy you so much. I like you so much. I envy everything about her and like everything about her. But no matter how much I try to imitate her, I'm not her!"
"I'm not as beautiful as her, nor as favored by His Majesty as she is, and I can't be her... Brother, I want her face so much, I want everything about her..."
That night, while drunk, Wei Ju and Wei Zhen tasted the forbidden fruit.
The next day, Wei Ju woke up and said that he wanted to marry Wei Zhen as his wife. Wei Zhen probably felt that it was hopeless for her to enter the palace as a concubine, so she agreed as a second best option.
As a result, as soon as Wei Ju said this, of course, he was opposed by the whole family. The first one to be affected was Wei Zhen. She had been dormant for many years and finally became the future Crown Princess. Even her own father, Grand Tutor Wei, had to show her respect. She hated Wei Ju and Wei Zhen so much. How could she let the two of them be happy and fly together?
Wei Zhen found Zhao Rui and asked him to ask His Majesty to marry Wei Zhen as a concubine. Zhao Rui agreed for the sake of Wei Tai Shi, his brotherly relationship with Wei Zhen, and the fact that she was the future Crown Princess and the future Queen Mother, who should not be offended.
No matter how unfavored Zhao Rui was, he was still a prince, the emperor's own son. It would be easy for him to snatch a woman from the son of a grand tutor.
When the imperial edict came down granting marriage between Zhao Rui and Wei Zhen, Zhao Rui's face was longer than a donkey's for a while.
He had of course heard of Wei Zhen's "reputation", and even he felt scared of Wei Zhen's cunning behavior.
Perhaps it was because of the good fortune of a true dragon that Wei Zhen jumped into a well the day before her wedding.
After Zhao Rui learned the news, he pretended to be regretful and took Shangguan Shifan (the old Duke) to a restaurant to celebrate that night.
Wei Zhen's death was not in vain. Before she died, she left a letter and a bottle of blood for Wei Ju. The letter said that as long as they found two "Soul-changing" pots and dropped her blood and Wei Zhen's blood on each pot, their souls could be exchanged, and then she could be resurrected in Wei Zhen's body.
Wei Ju acted so quickly. Of course, this could not happen in the Wei Mansion. After finding "Yi Hun", he kidnapped Wei Zhen and took him out of the mansion overnight.
In the middle of the night, a carriage was speeding on the street and almost knocked down the drunk Shangguan Shifan. Shangguan Shifan and Zhao Rui looked at the shadow of the carriage leaving, cursed angrily, and followed it.
When the two caught up, Wei Ju had already finished.
Zhao Rui and Shangguan Shifan saw that it was Wei Zhen's face and immediately kicked Wei Ju unconscious, trying to wake Wei Zhen. However, Wei Zhen didn't recognize them when he woke up and asked, "Who are you?"
"Why am I here?"
"Fuck, I won't wear it anymore, right?"
"You two are so handsome, you are not my lovers, I..."
Shangguan Shifan immediately touched Wei Zhen's forehead with the back of his hand and whispered, "Are you stupid?"
Zhao Rui was silent for a while, then said, "As long as he's not dead."
The two of them took Wei Zhen back to the Wei Mansion. Along the way, Shangguan Shifan was very noisy, asking this and that, but Wei Zhen couldn't answer any of them. Shangguan Shifan was no fool, and finally realized that something was wrong. He whispered to Zhao Rui, "Is she that shrewd scholar?"
Zhao Rui also lowered his voice and said stealthily, "Just give it a try and you'll know..."
"How do I try?"
Zhao Rui turned around abruptly. Wei Zhen, standing behind him, looked around with wide eyes, like a frightened animal. Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows and said to Wei Zhen, "Do you know who you are?"
Wei Zhen shook his head.
"You are... my foot-washing maid."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Shifan's eyes almost popped out.
Wei Zhen's face was truly heartbroken. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh my God, why are others either queens or princesses, but I'm just a foot-washing maid... Am I destined to be an ox or a horse?!"
Zhao Rui heard her words clearly and suddenly smiled, wearing a white robe as bright as pear blossoms.
interesting.
It's not Wei Zhen, and it doesn't seem to be Wei Zhen either...
