“Princess, the messenger said that the prince consort has returned from the banquet and smells of alcohol. Fearing that he might offend you, he has already retired to the outer courtyard.”
After Mo Qian regained consciousness, she heard a female voice in her ear.
Then, when I opened my eyes, I saw a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed as a maid.
"Okay, I understand. You can go now." Mo Qian dismissed him.
"Yes, Princess."
After the maid left, only Mo Qian remained in the room.
Mo Qian closed her eyes and began to receive the original owner's memories.
The original owner of this body, Mo Qian, was the most favored princess of Anxia Kingdom, and was bestowed the title of Princess Anguo.
In her previous life, at a banquet, she took a liking to Pei Shangxuan, the newly appointed top scholar, and asked the original owner's father, the emperor, to grant her a marriage.
When questioned by the Emperor, Pei Shangxuan only said that he was not yet married.
However, although Pei Shangxuan was unmarried, he had a sweetheart named Zhang Wanniang.
However, wanting to seize this rare opportunity, he only denied having a love interest when the emperor asked him.
Later, after the marriage, Pei Shangxuan felt that he had the original owner under his control, so he brought Zhang Wanniang into the mansion as his widowed sister.
Because of the original owner's affection for Pei Shangxuan, she also took good care of Zhang Wanniang.
They ate, dressed, and used the same things as the original owner.
However, even so, when Zhang Wanniang and Pei Shangxuan were alone, she would still occasionally try to sow discord between them.
This implies that the original owner looked down on her and despised her poverty, which is why she always appeared with many jade hairpins and beads.
Grace usually involves bestowing upon her jewelry and clothing.
When Pei Shangxuan heard Zhang Wanniang's hint, he also thought of how the original owner of this body had been very domineering and high-ranking in front of him in the past, and he felt very uneasy.
Later, when Zhang Wanniang accidentally broke some of the original owner's mother's belongings, the original owner was furious and had Zhang Wanniang beaten with twenty strokes of the cane.
After returning and hearing about this, Pei Shangxuan did not argue with the original owner because of her status as the princess, but he secretly made a mental note of it.
Afterwards, Pei Shangxuan secretly allied himself with the Third Prince and, after helping him ascend to the throne, placed the original owner of this body under house arrest in the courtyard.
Pei Shangxuan dared to do this for one reason: the emperor, who doted on the original owner of the body, had passed away.
Secondly, the third prince, who later became the new emperor, harbored resentment towards the original owner of the body.
It turns out that the original owner was deeply loved since childhood, and the other princes and princesses were very jealous of her.
Furthermore, at a banquet, the original owner intimidated the eldest daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who is also the female lead, Han Yuanyuan.
This offended a group of princes.
It turns out that Han Yuanyuan, the legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was not the original body, but a career woman who traveled from the modern era.
After arriving in ancient times, at a banquet, a poem by Li Bai was recited: "The sun shines on the incense burner, producing purple smoke; from afar, the waterfall hangs like a curtain before the river. It plunges straight down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way were falling from the ninth heaven."
The applause and cheers attracted the attention of all the princes.
Later, Han Yuanyuan's distinctive personality, unlike that of other young ladies, and her bright and flamboyant nature, attracted the Third Prince's affections.
Therefore, when the original owner scolded Han Yuanyuan, the Third Prince made a mental note of it.
Later, when the Third Prince held great power, he turned a blind eye to Pei Shangxuan's actions, pretending not to know anything.
Pei Shangxuan was naturally aware that there was some distance between the original owner and the newly appointed Empress Han Yuanyuan, and that the emperor doted on the empress, which was why he dared to treat the original owner this way.
After the original owner was placed under house arrest, Pei Shangxuan dismissed all the servants who had previously served the original owner.
Only a mute old woman delivered meals to the original owner every day.
The original owner couldn't accept this drastic change, and her health deteriorated. In the end, she died in regret.
After the original owner died, Pei Shangxuan changed the appearance of his beloved Zhang Wanniang and married her.
Finally, he had three sons and one daughter, and was surrounded by children and grandchildren. By then, he had long forgotten that he had a princess as his principal wife.
After receiving the original owner's memories, Mo Qian slowly opened her eyes.
According to the original owner's memories, the original owner has now married Pei Shangxuan, and Pei Shangxuan's sweetheart, Zhang Wanniang, has only recently entered the mansion.
Mo Qian held Pei Shangxuan in utter contempt.
If he had openly admitted that he already had someone he liked, then the original owner would have liked him, but based on the pride of the princess, she would not have forced him to marry her.
Pei Shangxuan was willing to become the emperor's son-in-law for the sake of power, and he shouldn't blame the original owner for what he considers to be enduring humiliation.
After all, it was Pei Shangxuan's own choice to become the prince consort.
As for Pei Shangxuan's sweetheart, Zhang Wanniang, Mo Qian also had a very bad impression of her.
In her previous life, Zhang Wanniang entered the mansion as the widowed younger sister of the imperial consort. The original owner felt sorry for her plight and was very generous to her in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities.
He often gifted her beautiful clothes and accessories.
Zhang Wanniang, on the one hand, enjoyed the gifts given to her by the original owner, and on the other hand, she complained to Pei Shangxuan. She was truly shameless!
Furthermore, in the previous life, when the original owner was under house arrest, Zhang Wanniang came to the original owner's courtyard and ridiculed the original owner.
In the end, when she revealed that she was not Pei Shangxuan's biological sister, but his lover, it became the final straw that broke the original owner's back.
"Creak!" The door was pushed open from the outside, and a woman dressed in fine silks and jewels walked in. This woman was Zhang Wanniang.
Meanwhile, the original owner of this body lay on the bed, her face deathly pale, coughing.
"Cough cough!" The sound was particularly loud in the quiet room.
"You came here to laugh at me?!"
“You are a widow. If it weren’t for the fact that you are Pei Shangxuan’s younger sister, you would not have been able to enter the manor at all.”
