"know?"
Dou Shiliu calmly accepted the hot water from Runshui'an and shook her head: "I've only met her a few times."
Those eyes pained her.
She still keeps that tear to this day; it was a very beautiful tear.
Runshui An and Dou Shiliu returned to S City, and Luo Qingchun would occasionally come over to give her son a few bites of luck.
Dou Shiliu didn't stop her. Later, when Luo Qingchun made a comeback, Ou Ting was still her manager. Now, he has another identity: her husband.
Runshui An discovered that when Dou Shiliu was thirty days pregnant, she was still not pregnant, and Yan Xiao had already given birth to three children. Her first child was an older brother, followed by two twins, and her youngest sister was the most favored in their family.
Runshui An gave up and adopted a child who had lost both parents. He raised the child and was very filial to him and Dou Shiliu. But it was Dou Shiliu who left this world first.
...
"Welcome back, host. Would you like to take a rest?"
Dou Shiliu shook his head, "Let's move on to the next world."
Bai Tuan sent Dou Shiliu into the next world, and the familiar dizziness struck.
...
With the establishment of the new dynasty, the emperor ordered all young women in the country to participate in the imperial concubine selection in order to increase the number of concubines in the harem and ensure the continuation of the new dynasty.
"Father, I don't want to go to the palace; it's an endless prison!"
"Slap!" The sound of a slap across the face.
Su Xiu was slapped hard by her own father and knocked to the ground, blood instantly seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Su Xiu covered her face, turning her head to look at Master Su with hatred. Her face, which had been slapped, was unusually red and now swollen.
Master Su said with exasperation, "If you don't go, our whole family will lose our lives! Your brother and your mother will die!"
Su Xiu bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes and spilling over. "What about me?" she sobbed, her voice breaking with anguish. "Where is my happiness? Father... I am your daughter too... This new emperor is cruel and heartless, this palace is a den of monsters, are you really going to let your daughter die in there?"
Su Xiu spoke with unwavering resolve; she wouldn't participate in the talent show! She would run away!
Annoyed by Su Xiu's antics, Master Su waved his hand and shouted, "Guards, drag the young lady away and lock her in her room. She can only be released when the palace arrives! Anyone who dares to let the young lady escape will be beaten to death!"
Master Su was so angry that he was trembling all over, while Su Xiu was taken away by the servants without struggling.
...
Meanwhile, on one side of the garden, Dou Shiliu shook its petals, swaying its body in the bright sun, lazily basking in the sunlight.
A woman rushed up to her in a panic and knelt down abruptly; it was Su Xiu.
The dust on her face clearly indicated that she had just escaped. Dou Shiliu squinted at Su Xiu in front of him.
"Can you take my place in the palace?" Su Xiu had saved Dou Shiliu and was the only person who knew Dou Shiliu's true identity. It made sense. Dou Shiliu transformed into a beam of light.
"good"
Su Xiu was overjoyed and turned to leave. The price was that Su Xiu would forget who she was, forget everything, and her face would be Dou Shiliu's. Su Xiu would marry her ideal husband with her full identity.
Su Xiu's escape had obviously reached Master Su's ears. Dou Shiliu slowly walked towards the study. Master Su's angry voice came from behind, followed by a series of rustling sounds. It was unclear what expensive thing had been smashed again.
"Useless! Good-for-nothings! You can't even see the young lady! Drag them all away and beat them to death!" Master Su was so angry that his chest heaved, and he looked like he was about to faint at any moment.
I agree.
Dou Shiliu pushed open the study door and looked at Master Su with a cold expression. "I agree. Prepare it for me. But from now on, I have nothing to do with you. I saved the Su family from a calamity, which can be considered as repaying the debt of raising me."
Having said that, Dou Shiliu turned and left while Master Su was still in a daze.
"Host, are you going to the palace to find the cannon fodder? What if he's not there?"
Dou Shiliu said calmly, "So what if he's not here?"
Bai Tuan sighed, "But you're going to participate in a talent show!"
Dou Shiliu laughed, "With Master Su's official rank, he won't last until the end."
The white ball thought about it and realized it made sense. The host could just pretend to be dead and get away with it.
On an auspicious day, Dou Shiliu was selecting concubines for Su Xiu. She was placed among a group of women of lower rank and was now being brought into the palace.
The summer sun was blazing down on the women dressed in their traditional attire, and the rouge and powder on their faces were soaked and smudged by the sweat.
Dou Shiliu didn't wear any rouge or powder, and only sweated a little. Her abundant collagen made her stand out among the other young ladies.
Dou Shiliu's true form is a flower, which naturally gives off a fragrance that is different from that of other young ladies.
Among the many inspections, Dou Shiliu was kept behind. These low-class maids were not particularly attractive, and there were very few good ones.
Dou Shiliu was kept on the list and lived with the other candidates. Of the original tens of millions of candidates, only 500 were kept after the discerning nannies picked and chose.
They began to examine each person's body one by one, checking for scars, whether they were virgins, and whether they had any diseases.
Dou Shiliu passed easily, and after this incident, the number of people could no longer be reduced to 500.
In the last few months, the young women began to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, cooking, and so on.
Dou Shiliu possessed magical powers, making everything exceptionally easy for her. While her face wasn't stunningly beautiful, it was small and delicate. Su Xiu wasn't as pretty as Dou Shiliu, but Dou Shiliu perfectly captured Su Xiu's features. Su Xiu's figure was somewhat flatter, while Dou Shiliu's was perfectly proportioned, naturally leading her to be left out last.
In the end, only 10 out of 500 women were selected for the imperial harem. They would have one chance to present themselves to the emperor on his first birthday after his ascension to the throne.
In the final three months, the young ladies began preparing for the shows they were good at, while only Dou Shiliu was still leisurely enjoying the beautiful scenery of the palace.
Because of their relatively high status, they have some free time.
Dou Shiliu, wearing white shoes embroidered with colorful lotus buds that looked lifelike and about to bloom, stepped onto the artificial mountain and, with a sudden burst of strength, climbed directly to the top of the roof.
Of course, the surroundings were quiet and deserted, and not many people knew about this place; it was a desolate wasteland.
Dou Shiliu stepped onto the roof tiles and sat down on the roof beam. This was not the highest point, so he could not overlook the entire palace.
However, the height was just right. Dou Shiliu had been here dozens of times and was extremely familiar with it. A gentle breeze caressed her face, carrying a cool sensation.
