Fragment 2
My name is He Jia, but people in the palace prefer to call me "Princess Baohua".
Just by hearing this title, you can tell how noble my status is. It is covered with precious jewels and is gorgeous, but I am not happy.
I don’t have a mother. Although Jing’en Niang grew up with me, I know that she is not my mother.
Although she is gentle, kind to me, and takes care of me in every detail, she has never lost her temper with me.
Just like how the Empress Dowager treats her younger brother.
Oh, and I have a younger brother. When he was born, I was six years old. I remember him as a fat boy, but he's growing up so fast that he's almost catching up with me now.
He is so different from me!
As for him... well, there's nothing much to say.
He is good at studying and playing, but now he is often scolded by the Empress Dowager and sometimes he even cries. It's really embarrassing.
But I still envy him. Although the Empress Dowager would scold him, she would then hug him and coax him, and make him delicious French fries and fried chicken.
The French fries and fried chicken are really delicious.
The Empress Dowager is very beautiful, but I can't feel close to her. Of course, she treats me just like Jing's mother, gentle but distant.
Sometimes, when I walk in the huge harem, I feel so lonely.
In the middle of the night, I would cry secretly because I missed my mother. Although I don't remember what my mother looks like, I still hope to have a mother. If my mother treats me like the imperial mother treats my brother, I will be even happier.
But now I dare not say that I miss my mother. I once said it in front of my father, and his face turned dark. I was afraid that my father would be angry. He is the closest person to me, so I am willing to bury my longing for my mother in my heart.
Speaking of my father, it was he who gave me the title. He must have treated me like a pearl and jade at that time.
He treats me okay now, but not better than he treats Ji'er.
I know. I once saw my father carrying my younger brother on his shoulders to pick plum blossoms, and then handing them to the Empress Dowager who was watching them gently.
The smiles on their faces are exactly the same, but I can't smile, so they are a family.
Ouch, that’s annoying.
So this is why I don’t like Ji’er, I’m jealous of him.
But he is so smart that he can't tell that I don't like him. On the contrary, he likes to stick to me since he was a child. When he was still a little kid, he always asked me to hold him. When he grew up, he still chased me and called me sister, and was so noisy.
He likes me so much, and my father pays more attention to me, so I will just reluctantly accept his love.
Anyway, he is my father’s only prince, but I am also my father’s only princess.
I am Princess Baohua!
Fragment Three
In this life, Bai Susu is very happy.
It was true, Emperor Xuan Jing treated her well, and his son was smart and sensible. When Ji'er was fifteen years old, Emperor Xuan Jing issued an edict of abdication and took her to travel around the country.
They transformed themselves into an ordinary couple and traveled to almost every corner of the world.
Emperor Xuan Jing also fulfilled his promise to be together for the rest of his life.
Bai Susu passed away in the arms of Emperor Xuan Jing. The cold emperor was in tears at the moment. She wanted to wipe his tears, but she had no strength. She could only use all her strength to force a smile to let him know that in this life, she was very satisfied.
When she died, Bai Susu felt a strange sense of detachment, and the past few decades flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope.
She saw her youthful appearance when she had just entered the palace selection.
And the look in Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes when he first saw her.
She saw her child, Emperor Xuan Jing was hugging her, and she was holding their son in her arms.
I saw Ji'er walking up to the dragon throne and looking down upon the world.
She closed her eyes.
The system's cold voice sounded: "Congratulations host for completing the first world. Do you want to delete your memory and start the next journey?"
Bai Susu nodded "yes".
Her body fell rapidly, and Bai Susu suddenly opened her eyes and saw herself in an ancient house.
In this life, her name is Yao Susu. She is the concubine that the old lady of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion found for the prince in order to carry on the family line for her son.
Now, she had just entered the mansion.
There was a creaking sound from the door. Yao Susu's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She saw a maid with fair skin and gentle eyes. She was born gentle and smiled at Yao Susu. She said, "I am Ziyuan, the maidservant beside the old lady. Please follow me, the old lady wants to see you."
She was dressed decently and cleanly, her hair was combed neatly, and she wore two silver cloves in her hairpin. Her earrings were also made of jade, which showed that she was not an ordinary maid.
Yao Susu looked down at her apricot-colored embroidered spring gown, which seemed not as good as the one worn by the maid in front of her.
She didn't dare say much, just nodded softly and followed Ziyuan out.
Ziyuan led the way, feeling puzzled. The woman Zhou's mother had found was so frail and weak that she looked pitiful. Not only was she very pretty, but the low "hmm" she just said was enough to make one's bones go soft.
Yao Susu lowered her head and followed Ziyuan in small steps. From the corner of her eye, she could see the carved beams and painted buildings in the mansion, and a new scene with every step. It was truly a place of wealth and splendor.
She came from Jiangnan. Her parents died early, so she lived with her uncle and aunt. But her uncle's family was just ordinary people, and she had never seen such a grand courtyard.
At that moment, she became more and more panicked. She could only bite her lip and dared not look around. She just stared at the steps of the maid in front of her.
In Shou'an Hall, the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Wu, was sitting in the first seat wearing a purple embroidered jacket, with a string of old sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand, and her eyes were closed.
At this moment, the maidservant beside her, Yin Zhu, lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Old Madam, someone is coming."
