After reading the plot, Qu Lingyuan shuddered suddenly, and the little palace maid was so scared that she hurriedly took an extra piece of clothing and put it on her, which made her feel helpless.
"Yiling, this heroine is so miserable! Shouldn't a heroine have a good life? Why is she like this?"
Yi Ling's childish face was mysterious and profound. She shook her head and said, "No, no, it's just that the heroine is more likely to be liked by the hero than others. There is no such thing as extra good luck.
There is not only one heroine in every world, but every heroine has a corresponding hero. The so-called hero and heroine are just the key marriage lines determined by the laws of the world.
The laws of the world are fair and will not give special treatment to anyone. Many times, the achievements of the hero and heroine are achieved through their own abilities. Of course, luck is also part of strength. It is already very lucky to be chosen by the laws of the world to be the heroine.
Think about it, you've already inherited the heroine's destiny by completing the quest. If the heroine's destiny really has so many bonuses, why would they give you additional skills?"
Qu Lingyuan found what Yi Ling said quite reasonable, so she stopped dwelling on the pitiful experience of the original heroine and continued to digest and organize what she had received.
Next is Qu Lingyuan’s identity in this world.
Qu Lingyuan, whose courtesy name was Yueyun, was the aunt of the current emperor, the youngest sister of the late emperor, and the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager. Although she was only the same age as the emperor, she was of the same generation as the Empress Dowager.
Back then, the Empress Dowager was in danger while on an incognito tour with the grandfather of the current emperor. She was rescued by a couple named Qu, but the couple lost their lives, leaving behind their little daughter Qu Lingyuan who had just learned to walk.
In order to repay the couple for their selfless rescue, the Empress Dowager brought Qu Lingyuan back to the palace and adopted her as her daughter. Remembering the kindness of the Qu couple and commemorating their sacrifice, she did not change Qu Lingyuan's surname, and she always had the surname Qu.
This identity is indeed quite impressive. Although she is not the biological child of the Empress Dowager, she has a very good relationship with her. Although she is weak, she is never looked down upon because she is an adopted daughter who cannot be raised.
"Princess, it's okay." Ruoxi called softly.
Calling her the Grand Princess all the time was really tedious. With the consent of the original owner, the palace maids and eunuchs all called her Princess when there was no one else around.
Qu Lingyuan came back to her senses, nodded slightly, raised her hand and let Ruoxi help her get up from the chair.
Ruoxi is Qu Lingyuan's personal maid, Yingmei, Yingju, Yingtan and Yinglan are first-class maids who usually serve Qu Lingyuan.
The eldest princess was of a higher generation and was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager. Unlike other princesses, Qu Lingyuan could not only live in small places like pavilions and rooms, but was granted the right to live in the main hall of Xiyun Palace.
Xiyun Palace is a good place that is warm in winter and cool in summer. There is no one else living there, so Qu Lingyuan lives alone in the palace.
I walked out of the main hall at a leisurely pace, and there was a sedan chair waiting outside.
Qu Lingyuan sat on the soft sedan chair and sighed. No wonder they said that the royal family in ancient times lived a comfortable life.
"Princess... may I ask where you are moving to?" Eunuch Xu bravely asked when he saw that Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess had no reaction after she got on the sedan chair.
Hearing Eunuch Xu's question, Qu Lingyuan finally came to her senses from her daze and opened her red lips slightly: "Ah... go to Changle Palace."
"Yes." Eunuch Xu urged the eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair to go to Changle Palace, and from time to time reminded them to carry it steadily and not to scare Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Qu Lingyuan looked at the entourage around her and thought that the Empress Dowager really doted on her daughter.
Apart from a personal maid, a chief eunuch and four first-class palace maids who were arranged according to the regulations, there were enough other palace maids and eunuchs to arrange them, and there was no way to count them.
There is only one Grand Princess in the palace, and no one will really follow the rules with her.
The sedan chair moved towards Changle Palace. When it reached the palace gate, Qu Lingyuan got off the sedan chair and walked inside on her own two legs.
In the palaces of these two Empress Dowagers, sedan chairs and sedan chairs were not allowed. Even when the emperor came, they had to get off the ground and walk.
Before Qu Lingyuan could get close, the young eunuch at the gate of Changle Palace saw her coming from afar and ran in to report. It was obvious that he was quite smart.
As expected, when they reached the palace gate, the young eunuch lowered his shrill voice and whispered to Qu Lingyuan, "Your Highness, the Grand Princess, the Grand Empress Dowager invites you in."
Qu Lingyuan nodded, gave him an approving look, and entered the hall.
"Yueyun is here?" As soon as I entered the palace, I heard the Empress Dowager's kind voice with a smile.
"Yueyun respectfully wishes the Queen Mother good health and longevity." Qu Lingyuan greeted politely, but was actually very confused about the ancient titles.
They all have their own names, so why do they have to be called by titles?
I'm not used to being called anything other than "Qu Lingyuan." I almost thought the Empress Dowager was going to call me Yue Yunpeng...
I watched too much crosstalk before I died, and the title Yueyun... is really out of place.
"Oh, no need to be so polite. Come and sit next to me." The Empress Dowager called out hurriedly.
"Yes, mother." Qu Lingyuan stood up and sat on the embroidered cushion next to the Grand Empress Dowager. It was impossible for her to really sit in the main seat with the Grand Empress Dowager.
After Qu Lingyuan sat down, the Grand Empress Dowager took her hand, looked her up and down, and asked, "Why did you come here to pay your respects today? Are you feeling better?"
"I know that the Queen Mother is worried about my daughter's poor health, so I don't have to pay my respects. But it's been a while since I last saw you, and I miss you." Qu Lingyuan said coquettishly according to the original owner's temperament.
The current timeline is just a few days after Cui Yue's death. The main purpose of coming to the Empress Dowager is to find out what she thinks about this matter.
The mission was to catch Shen Qingmo, but Shen Qingmo already had a concubine and was a second-hand man whose wife had died. Given the Empress Dowager's love for her daughter, she might not be willing to marry her daughter to him.
"Okay, okay, I know you are filial. It's getting late now, why don't you sit for a while and stay for lunch? Your ninth brother promised me yesterday that he would come for lunch today, so it's time for him to arrive." The Empress Dowager smiled.
