Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. The fourth prince, Long Yifei, has long since ascended the throne. He is very capable, and under his rule, the world has become a peaceful and prosperous place.
All the princes and princesses have moved out of the palace and been granted titles and residences.
The seventh princess had come of age and married the heir of Prince An, and from then on stayed in the backyard.
Raising children and occasionally fighting with concubines and mistresses was a peaceful life.
Ten years later, she unexpectedly met the general and his wife who were returning to the capital to report on their duties.
It is said that this general was also a talented individual. During the three-year drought, he entered the army camp with his superhuman strength.
He rose from humble beginnings in the army to become a general.
Even more enviable is his wife.
They were childhood sweethearts, and they traveled together through the famine years, enduring that difficult time together.
After achieving great success, the general married his beautiful wife, and his harem consisted only of her, truly a lifelong, monogamous relationship.
It made everyone envious.
When the Seventh Princess saw the General's wife, she was immediately shocked, because she realized that it was someone she had met before.
However, the general's wife did not recognize her, or rather, she did not show it.
After the party, the seventh princess fell ill, filled with regret and unease.
Not long after, the Seventh Princess died of illness.
?
Xiao Li opened her eyes. In this life, she was the Seventh Princess.
She is the real Seventh Princess Long Xiaoxiao, and also the wife of the Great General Song Xiaoxiao.
This story begins a month ago.
Long Xiaoxiao is eleven years old this year. After the palace coup, her mother, Consort Zhao, committed suicide. She escaped through a side gate with her wet nurse, Granny Wang.
Wang Mama had watched Consort Zhao grow up. Seeing Consort Zhao commit suicide, she wept uncontrollably, but could only hide her grief and escape through the back door with the Seventh Princess.
The two hid and made their way out of the palace. The world was vast, and for a moment they didn't know where to go.
"Run! Let's hurry to the south city. The caravans there have already set off. It will be safer if we follow them."
Several passersby discussed heading towards the south of the city, and when Wang Mama heard this, she quickly took Long Xiaoxiao and followed.
The two were very lucky and successfully followed the caravan out of the city, heading southwest.
On their journey, they encountered various groups of people who were also fleeing famine.
One of the women had a little girl who looked remarkably similar to Long Xiaoxiao, even sharing a similar name and age.
The two adults felt it was a great coincidence, and they chatted happily together for the rest of the journey.
However, the roads became increasingly deserted, and robbers gradually appeared on them.
In order to protect Long Xiaoxiao, Granny Wang was unfortunately seriously injured by the robbers. Before she died, she struggled to hand over the bundle she was carrying to Long Xiaoxiao and told her that she must live on.
"Seventh Princess, you are a princess, your status is noble. I believe the royal family will be rebuilt. You must live on and wait for the day you return to the palace."
Also, you must not flaunt your wealth; you must hide your gold and silver well and never let others discover them.
If you get found out, you have to protect yourself, okay?
Granny Wang looked at Long Xiaoxiao with reluctance, but eventually died.
As the robbers drew closer, Long Xiaoxiao, clutching her bundle, didn't even have time to collect Wang Mama's body and could only flee in panic.
She ran while crying, constantly looking back, and accidentally tripped over a stone.
She lay on the ground and finally couldn't hold back her sobs.
"Hurry, Stone, quickly pull your sister up, let's run!"
At that moment, a boy grabbed Long Xiaoxiao's hand and dragged her up from the ground.
Long Xiaoxiao knew nothing more, only that she kept running, running, running...
Finally, she collapsed from exhaustion.
When I woke up again, I was on a dilapidated oxcart.
?
123 sighed, "Master, I really came ahead of schedule this time, but I still couldn't save Consort Zhao and Granny Wang."
Xiao Li touched 123, "It's not your fault, they were destined for this calamity, there was no way to save them."
After saving up points for so long, 123 can finally buy a physical item, which now becomes a little fox.
123 rubbed against Xiaoli, realizing how comfortable it felt to be petted by its master.
Xiao Li glanced at the little boy Han Shitou beside her; this was the future general.
The man pulling the cart in front was Shi Tou's father, Han Changhe.
They were native northerners who had been forced to flee the famine due to a severe drought, and they were accompanied by everyone from their village.
This was a large team, and traveling together avoided many dangers.
They encountered many robbers on the road, but all of them escaped unharmed.
This time, the robbers were probably at their wits' end, so they didn't let them go and chose to fight instead.
Han Changhe fled with his only son, Han Shitou, and the Song family, his neighbors, but they got separated along the way.
They joined several other squads, but were all scattered by the robbers. In the end, the father and son survived thanks to their innate superhuman strength.
While traversing a treacherous mountain road, they encountered robbers again. This time, Han Shitou actually saw his neighbor's little sister, Song Xiaoxiao. He and his father quickly rescued her and took her with them as they fled.
The two of them became a trio. Han Shitou thought that Song Xiaoxiao had lost a loved one, which was why she had become taciturn and her personality had changed drastically.
He could only offer her silent comfort and companionship.
In fact, Long Xiaoxiao was afraid that her identity would be discovered and she would be abandoned by them.
She had realized that the father and son had mistaken her for Song Xiaoxiao, who had recently been traveling with her.
However, three days later, the two recognized her. Nevertheless, the Han father and son chose to take her with them and did not abandon her.
Long Xiaoxiao was very grateful to the Han family father and son, and she felt a warmth from them that she had never experienced in the palace.
Two months later, after the imperial decree was issued, she did not choose to return to the palace, but instead settled in the southwest with Han Shitou and his son.
At this time, Song Xiaoxiao also discovered Long Xiaoxiao's identity. Her mother, Li, overheard Wang Mama's dying words.
After the imperial decree was issued, Li risked being discovered and sent Song Xiaoxiao into the palace.
They settled in the palace as the seventh princess and servants.
They were lucky enough to remain undiscovered and were married into the Prince An's household as the seventh princess.
?
“Master, Long Xiaoxiao has had a very happy life. Although she no longer has the status of a princess, Han Shitou treats her very well. What else could she possibly be unwilling to accept?”
Xiao Li shook her head. "This is only the first life. Song Xiaoxiao saw that Long Xiaoxiao was living a very happy life, and she was unwilling to accept it, so she was reborn."
"So, the current Song Xiaoxiao has been reborn and is going to steal Long Xiaoxiao's general, is that right?"
Xiao Li nodded. That's about it. Song Xiaoxiao will never enter the palace in her life. She doesn't think she's happy marrying the Prince of An.
Or rather, before Long Xiaoxiao appeared, everyone was happy; after she appeared, compared to her lifelong devotion to one person, life was no longer so happy.
Moreover, was her death really that simple?
The Prince An's harem is not something a clueless fake princess like her can control.
