I am Ulanara Jiayi.
Jia Yi, Jia Yi.
If you think about it carefully, it's been almost ten years since anyone called me by my maiden name. This name wasn't given to me by my father or mother. Although my father doted on me, he usually called me "Niu Niu" instead.
My mother's Chinese wasn't very good either, so the name Jiayi was given to me by a fortune teller.
I remember when I was five years old, a fortune teller who was said to be very accurate came and said that I had the appearance of great wealth and honor, and that I would have endless glory and wealth in the future.
I didn't believe it. At that time, my father was the head of the imperial guards, and my brothers also took good care of me. Even without the Taoist priest saying it, I knew that I had grown up in a wealthy and noble place, and that I would naturally not have any bad days ahead.
I grew up in luxury, and the only danger I witnessed was the struggle between my mother and the concubines in the backyard. When I was seven years old, I saw my father's favorite concubines miscarry because of the competition for his favor.
My mother, who had miscarried, collapsed in front of me, her hands outstretched and lips agape, calling out. What was she calling for? Probably for help.
But what does it have to do with me? I wish they would all disappear.
My mother said that concubines and mistresses are the lowest of creatures in the world. No matter what their background is, the existence of concubines is to threaten the status of the principal wife and the first wife. If you can crush a concubine like an ant, that would be incredibly satisfying.
I never imagined I would become a prince's wife. Although I am the fourth prince and my maternal family is not particularly illustrious, my adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyiren, is quite extraordinary, so it is a very good match.
I knew I was to marry the Fourth Prince when I was ten years old; it was an imperial decree from His Majesty.
In the following years, my mother taught me how to be a prince's wife, and I joined the Fourth Prince's mansion with great joy.
I don't really remember the days I spent in the Prince's residence very clearly anymore, just like I don't really remember what the aunt who collapsed in front of me when I was a child looked like.
Fourth Master's cold and aloof nature, unlike his overly sentimental father, makes me happy.
I remember that in the first few months after our wedding, my husband and I were a harmonious and respectful couple.
Although there were Song Shi and Xu Shi in the backyard at that time, Fourth Master would always consult with me on everything. Except for the first and fifteenth of the month, Fourth Master visited my main courtyard the most times in a month.
Although Song was beautiful, she didn't dare to dance in front of me with the Fourth Prince around.
I thought back then, how wonderful it would be if things could always be like this.
When did the change occur? It probably started when Lady Song was pregnant and Lady Li and Lady Baijia entered the household.
I was wary of Bai Jia, but I never expected that Bai Jia herself was so stupid, bringing about her own demise.
But she never expected that Li would become more and more worrisome to her, and Song would become increasingly ambitious after her pregnancy.
They're all so restless. How can I watch them grow so ambitious and try to climb up to me?
Fortunately, Song gave birth to the eldest princess of the mansion, but she was not in good health.
But I don't regret what I did. Whether it was a prince or a princess, they were always a threat.
Only if I give birth to the eldest son of this household can people feel a little more at ease.
I remember the winter when Song gave birth to the eldest princess was exceptionally cold. I also remember that in the first month of the lunar calendar, the eldest princess was not feeling well and was taken to the front yard by the Fourth Prince. Song was really asking for trouble.
At that time, I often wondered in the middle of the night what it would be like if I had my own child.
The left and right sides will not be like the Song family.
At that time, I only hoped that day would come sooner, so that my status as the primary wife of the Fourth Prince could be more secure.
