Marrying the original owner of the body to Prince Cheng was merely a "tool" for the emperor to bestow imperial favor.
Prince Cheng was a deposed crown prince of the previous dynasty. Because of his physical disability, his uncle was able to ascend the throne...
Given such a delicate relationship with the emperor, which family would be willing to marry their precious daughter off to him and become a discarded pawn?
To demonstrate the emperor's hospitality, the ideal candidate was the legitimate daughter of a powerful or aristocratic family...
The more prestigious the future princess's status, the more it reflects the emperor's high regard for his nephew.
All the civil and military officials in the court were reluctant to part with their own daughters.
They either cherish their legitimate daughters, hoping for their safety and well-being, and that they marry into a suitable family...
Either they had a deeper plan, such as sending him to the palace to fill the harem, or they were waiting for the princes to choose consorts. Why choose Prince Cheng, a discarded pawn, and lose a daughter for nothing...?
Only Marquis Ningwei of Ningyuan stepped forward.
The emperor was overjoyed, and many officials praised him behind his back, saying that it was no wonder the Marquis of Ningyuan was favored by His Majesty; in crucial moments, he could solve His Majesty's problems...
However, many others despised him, condemning him for disregarding his legitimate daughter's marriage for the sake of his political career...
Even so, on the day of his wedding, Prince Cheng's home was raided and he was imprisoned. Before he could even consummate his marriage with the original owner of the body, he was exiled...
The original owner's father obtained the Emperor's permission to remove the female lead from the marriage, citing the original owner's incomplete wedding ceremony, and instead marry the Crown Prince a second time...
This marked the beginning of the original owner's painful and long second half of life...
Fearing that the original owner's lingering will might flare up and cause her to reappear, Ning Xi'er stopped reminiscing and stealthily entered the Crown Prince's Palace.
This Crown Prince is a man of restraint and deep cunning. He doesn't seem to have any bad habits, but in reality, he really enjoys using his fists.
The palace maids often had injuries hidden under their clothes, but the emperor, empress, and court officials were completely unaware of this.
All that everyone knows is that His Highness the Crown Prince is highly learned, has a refined taste, and enjoys collecting...
Ning Xi'er smiled and said, "It's good that you like it, and it's even better if you enjoy collecting things!"
What could be more satisfying than wiping out all the hard work that villains have accumulated over the years?!
Actually, destroying all the poems, calligraphy, and paintings in the Crown Prince's collection, and imagining his furious and devastated expression, would be quite a spectacle...
But they are all collectibles, and can be exchanged for money when necessary. We can't let them go to waste like this!
Therefore, this thought only lasted for a moment, and Ning Xi'er waved her sleeve...
It took away all the "clouds"!
After leaving the Crown Prince's palace, Ning Xi'er went straight to the Imperial Pharmacy.
Knock down the guards and drag them into the side room. Then, empty the Imperial Pharmacy and store everything in your spatial storage.
It contains not only medicinal herbs, pills, powdered medicine, plasters, and tablets, but also various storage cabinets, large medicine curtains, and fumigation and acupuncture treatment tools...
We're going to be rich! We're about to strike it rich!
Even without using the treasures in her space, Ning Xi'er can live a life free from worry about food and clothing thanks to the medicinal herbs and prescriptions she has collected!
It should be noted that the prescriptions in the Imperial Pharmacy, in addition to those issued by the Imperial Hospital, also included those from renowned physicians summoned from all over the country when the palace encountered difficult and complicated illnesses.
Moreover, the medicinal materials collected in the Imperial Pharmacy included genuine medicinal materials from various regions, making them extremely rare and difficult to find on the market.
Having these is more useful than emptying out a hundred pharmacies in the market!
Looking at the empty floor of the Imperial Pharmacy, Ning Xi'er closed the door with satisfaction and headed straight for the Imperial Kitchen.
Ning Xi'er's space keeps food warm, fresh, dry, and rot-proof, so you can safely store all kinds of ingredients and food.
In the imperial kitchen, there were dozens of chefs, maids, and eunuchs preparing meals for the emperor, the concubines, princes, and princesses.
Taking them down one by one, even if they remain hidden, can easily cause a disturbance...
Thanks to the medicine she had just obtained from the Imperial Pharmacy, Ning Xi'er took out a sleeping potion from a medicine bag and gently lit it...
Within moments, the cook, palace maid, and eunuch collapsed to the ground.
Dozens of prepared dishes were already laid out on the long table, and various fresh dishes were being stewed, fried, and cooked in a dozen large pots and on stoves...
Ning Xi'er didn't bother with any meaningful selection; she simply took the entire imperial kitchen, except for the beams and four walls, into her space.
Then, like picking out worms, they picked out the chefs, palace maids, and eunuchs involved one by one and threw them back into the imperial kitchen.
Dozens of people lay down in the empty, spacious palace.
The income space includes not only prepared and cooking food, but also dozens of baskets of cleaned vegetables, and chopped pork, beef, lamb, and fish...
Dozens of baskets of freshly picked vegetables, chilled fruits from various regions presented as tribute, and dozens of slaughtered pigs, cattle, and sheep whose meat had not yet been butchered...
Countless cooking utensils, an inexhaustible supply of charcoal...
Ning Xi'er nodded in satisfaction, quickly left the palace, and headed straight for the Imperial Hospital and various medical clinics.
