Chapter 2 Memory Qi Chen felt this "spiritual sound" lingering...
Qi Chen felt that this "spiritual voice" was entangled in him, constantly repeating the four words "can't commit suicide".
After finally meeting someone who understood, Qi Chen no longer cared about the strange situation and asked, "Who are you?"
"...can't commit suicide..."
"Are you the original owner of this body?" Qi Chen guessed, "Are you still here?"
"...can't commit suicide..."
"...Do you know what's going on? Why am I here? I don't want to steal your body. If you're still here, come back. I promise I won't fight you for control of my body." Qi Chen scanned the dark space with his consciousness and said in a negotiating tone, "It would be even better if you could help find a way to send me back."
"...can't commit suicide..."
Qi Chen held his breath and said angrily, "You don't want me to commit suicide, right? Fine, if you don't answer me, I don't believe you can keep me in this state! As long as I control my body, I will keep committing suicide! Let's see how many times you can stop me!"
“…”
"Are you scared? If you are, just be good..." A white light suddenly appeared in the dark space and disappeared into Qi Chen's consciousness in a flash.
Qi Chen just felt very painful, the kind of pain that his whole body was about to explode. Pictures flashed through his mind. The pictures showed a girl's life gradually growing up, until the moment she sat in the bridal sedan, it came to an abrupt end.
The last sentence he left was: "...I can't commit suicide...it will bring trouble to my mother and brother..."
The pain gradually subsided, Qi Chen felt something merge with him, and he could control his body again.
There was an anxious female voice in my ear: "Princess, Princess, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Hey, do you understand what I'm saying? "Princess"? It really is the Qing Dynasty.
Qi Chen, who had regained consciousness, shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine.
The image I just got should be the original owner's memory, so I can't commit suicide now. I should first go through the original owner's memory. Maybe I can find out the reason why I traveled through time.
The woman who was supporting her breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to the person in charge in the room, and stepped back.
After understanding what was being said here, Qi Chen began to observe secretly and found that although he felt like a long time had passed in the space of consciousness, it seemed like only a moment had passed outside.
"Fourth Prince, since Fourth Lady is fine, then we..." a female voice asked cautiously.
The Fourth Prince? The Fourth Lady? The Qing Dynasty!
Qi Chen's jaw dropped. So, she had traveled through time and space to become Yongzheng's wife? The Ulanara clan, whose son died young? No, it seemed Qianlong was also the fourth son, so she could have also traveled through time and space to become the legendary Qianlong's white moonlight, Fucha clan, who died young?
...neither of these two endings are very good.
Um, who else was the fourth prince in the Qing Dynasty? God bless, any of them would be better than these two.
The man sitting opposite snorted coldly, "Continue."
"Please have some 'descendants' cakes, Fourth Prince and Fourth Lady." A drawn-out tune sounded, and someone brought up two exquisitely wrapped dumplings and fed them to Qi Chen and the Fourth Prince.
Qi Chen, who didn't want to die yet, opened his mouth and ate obediently.
"Please enjoy the wedding banquet."
The two were helped out of bed, and Qi Chen was helped to put on the prince's wife's robe and a bunch of jewelry. Then he sat at the banquet table and was directed to drink the wedding wine with the Fourth Prince.
It was only while drinking the wedding wine that Qi Chen saw the Fourth Prince's appearance for the first time. He was unexpectedly young... or rather young, looking only about ten years old. He was very thin, with almost no flesh on his face, and his appearance was pretty decent.
Even though it was his wedding, the Fourth Prince did not show any joy on his face. His eyes were narrow and he looked fierce and imposing.
"The ceremony is over."
The wedding ended here. The Fourth Prince stood up, lowered his eyes and said, "You should have a good rest."
She left with all the male guests, leaving only the women in the room.
A woman who looked about seventeen or eighteen came forward and said with a smile, "Fourth sister-in-law has been busy all day and must be tired. We won't disturb her. She should get some rest early."
An elderly woman nearby said, "This is the Third Princess."
"Goodbye, Third Lady." Qi Chen stood up and was about to salute, but was held back by the Third Lady.
The third princess smiled and left with some of the female relatives.
The people left in the house all looked like servants.
"Princess, let me help you change your clothes." A woman wearing a green Manchu dress and a big red handkerchief tied around her chest came forward and said.
Qi Chen was about to agree when he heard the older woman on the side say unhappily, "Baozhu, call me Fu Jin!"
"Yes, Madam Ham." Baozhu said again with a look of shame on her face, "Fujin, please change your clothes."
Qi Chen had long felt the weight on her body, but she remained composed, saying nothing and only nodded slightly to show her agreement.
After taking off the phoenix crown that weighed countless pounds and changing into a casual jacket, Qi Chen suddenly felt extremely relaxed.
At this time, another nurse came in with two palace maids: "Greetings to the Fourth Lady. I am Cheng Jia, the Fourth Prince's wet nurse. This was made for you by the Master's order."
Two palace maids carrying food boxes came forward and set a table full of dishes.
It was impossible to remain silent at this time. Qi Chen recalled the novels and TV dramas he had read and said slowly, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam. Here's a reward."
The words that came out of his mouth were the words that he couldn't understand before. Qi Chen guessed that it should be Manchu, a skill that this body possessed.
Mammy Ham smiled and stepped forward, stuffing a purse into Mammy Cheng's pocket. "Thank you for your help, sister."
“As I should…”
Baozhu and another palace maid were serving Qi Chen dinner, while two maids were being polite to each other.
This body was indeed hungry, and Qi Chen stopped eating only when he was about 70% full.
Nanny Cheng instructed two palace maids to gather up the remaining meat and bowed, saying, "I will take my leave. Madam, please go to bed early."
After they left, everyone in the room started to move, preparing to bathe and change clothes for Qi Chen.
Qi Chen was obedient all the way until he changed into pajamas and was about to lie down, then he frowned in confusion: You want to go to sleep now without waiting for the Fourth Prince?
Mammy Ham caught sight of her and, while helping her lie down, explained, "The Fourth Prince will be resting in the front yard. Fu Jin doesn't need to wait. Go to bed early, as we have to get up early tomorrow."
Qi Chen was awed. She couldn't let her thoughts be guessed just by her expression. So, although she was still confused, she controlled her expression and returned to normal. She lay down obediently, not until the bed curtains were drawn and she was alone in a room did she breathe a sigh of relief.
I can finally look at the original owner's memories that I just glanced at with peace of mind.
...Bad news right from the start.
The original was the wife of Emperor Yongzheng, named Ulanara Qibuchen. She was only ten years old this year and the legitimate daughter of the Grand Chamberlain, Feiyanggu. She had three older half-brothers and a legitimate six-year-old brother. Her father, Feiyanggu, had died when she was seven. Her mother was still alive, but Qibuchen had complicated feelings about her.
From Qi Buchen's memory, she learned that this year was the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. The Fourth Prince, whom she married, was only 13 years old. His adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyi Ren, passed away two years ago. Now there was only one Concubine Nianhulu, and the Four Concubines Hui, Rong, De and Yi in the palace. She was not very clear about the other concubines in the harem.
As for why Qi Chen had traveled through time, Qi Buchen's memory could not find any relevant clues. Even Qi Chen searched through her memories, but he still couldn't understand why she died while sitting in the sedan chair, and why he took over her body.
Thanks to Qi Chen's previous attempt to commit suicide, the message that left the deepest impression on her memory was a plea to Qi Chen not to commit suicide, because here, if a woman who married into the royal family attempted suicide, it would be considered an insult to the royal family. Not only would the body of the deceased be tortured, but even her family would be implicated.
Qi Chen could sense that the original body had resentment towards his mother, but he also had a lot of admiration for his children, especially his younger brother who was four years younger than him. Therefore, he did not want to implicate his mother and brother because of himself.
At the same time, Qi Chen also had a clear understanding that if she tried to commit suicide, the same heart pain and body paralysis that she had experienced before would occur again, but he didn't know how many times she could endure it.
But Qi Chen didn't know how many times he could persist in committing suicide. Especially, he didn't know if he could ever return after committing suicide. What if he disappeared forever?
The reason he had decided to commit suicide earlier was because he couldn't speak the language, and he was afraid of being discovered as a wandering ghost and being burned to death. Now that he could not only hear and speak, but also had his original body's memories, as long as he was careful, the chances of being discovered as a wandering ghost would be almost zero.
So, should I continue living here? I can travel through time, maybe this world has supernatural powers? Now that I'm a member of the royal family, I have considerable power. If I could find such a supernatural power, maybe I could find a way to return...
Thinking of this, Qi Chen couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.
So, from now on, I will be Ulanara Qibuchen...
Now that the top priority had been resolved, Qi Buchen could no longer resist the fatigue that came over his body and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, a soft voice sounded outside the bed curtains: "Fujin, it's time to get up."
Qi Buchen was half asleep and wanted to stay in bed, but suddenly he remembered that he seemed to have traveled through time. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw the bright red quilt and curtains in front of him. Sure enough, this was not a dream.
Qi Buchen sighed in his heart, and after adjusting his mood, he said, "Yeah."
Hearing the sound, the two palace maids lifted the curtain and helped Qi Buchen up.
Last night I learned from my memory that my original body came with two maids as a dowry: Nanny Ham and Nanny Yue; four maids: Baozhu, Baochai, Baoyu, and Baohuan; and some other maids.
When Qi Buchen first learned the names of the four maids, she was completely embarrassed. This was like a copy of Dream of the Red Chamber. If she didn't know that the original owner just named them according to "Pearl Hairpin and Jade Ring", she would have suspected that Cao Da was born early.
On the second day of the wedding, the newlyweds had to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the imperial concubines, so their clothes were no lighter than yesterday's.
Qi Buchen struggled to carry her weight to the main room. The Fourth Prince was already waiting. He looked her up and down, then stood up and said, "Let's go."
Then she was carried on a sedan chair all the way to Ningshou Palace. The Fourth Prince got off the sedan chair with one step, but Qi Buchen needed two people to help her step down carefully.
The Fourth Prince did not urge anyone, but waited silently. Only when he saw that Qi Buchen was ready did he slow down his pace and walk inside.
Qi Buchen immediately praised the Fourth Prince's silent consideration.
With the announcement of "Fourth Prince and Fourth Lady are here", the two were led into the Ningshou Palace main hall one after the other. The Fourth Prince knelt down in front of the cushion placed in the center.
Qi Buchen reacted a little slowly, but then she thought that if she wanted to live here, she must abide by the rules here. Moreover, logically speaking, people of this era were all ancestors who were hundreds of years older than her, so she wouldn't suffer any loss by kneeling down.
Qi Buchen quickly prepared himself mentally and knelt down with a slightly nervous look.
