Xiao Shitou: In ancient times, girls had to get married when they reached a certain age. Tell me, how old are you this year?
Changsheng: ...
No wonder she has been unwelcome at home recently. Could it be that she has messed up her marriages too many times?
Changsheng: I think Emperor Jing can just die.
In this way, she could stay alive under the pretext of mourning.
Little Stone: Your royal grandmother, your concubine's royal grandmother, the old grandfather of the imperial clan... You've mourned for so many people in the imperial family, you can't even count them on one hand. No wonder your parents think you're not a nose, and your eyes are not eyes.
Changsheng: Otherwise I can force myself to become an older unmarried beautiful girl!
"Changsheng, this is the information about this year's new Jinshi that I asked your brother to collect. Take a look and see if there is anything you like." The Crown Princess of Prince Gong's Mansion was also very troubled when facing Changsheng.
It wasn't that she disliked Changsheng's presence at home affecting her interests. After all, Changsheng herself was a princess, and one of the few princesses with a fiefdom. She was officially on the throne with Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing attributed the credit for his good health to Princess Changsheng who brought him a cup of tea. He intuitively and blindly guessed that Changsheng would bring prosperity to their Great Zhou Dynasty.
He also went against everyone's opinion and got Changsheng a wealthy fiefdom.
At that time, the court officials thought that Emperor Jing was going to die, and they did not want to compete with him on his deathbed, so Changsheng easily got a fiefdom.
She has something that even the princesses may not have.
But Changsheng’s marriage is even more difficult!
With Emperor Jingdi's favor, it was difficult for the people in Prince Gong's Mansion to force Changsheng.
Changsheng always has one excuse or another to delay.
The most important thing is that the candidates they favor for Changsheng always end up running into trouble, making them unpopular with both sides, as if they were specifically looking for unreliable people to entrust their children to.
For example, there are a lot of children from other wives.
For example, the inner area is in chaos and there are countless concubines.
The most hateful thing is that they are popular with both men and women.
There are simply countless of them, as if all the rotten garlics among the best men in and outside the capital have been exposed here by Changsheng.
You say that other families are also planning to get married, so why can’t they meet each other?
Really, now Princess Gong is afraid to choose a husband for her daughter.
It's like being cursed, and none of the people I pick are good enough!
Changsheng: ...
Finally, when Emperor Jing was dying, Changsheng received an imperial decree that she would never marry, and she went to practice cultivation in his place.
The question is, she wants to learn the art of immortality.
Princess Gong: I feel so sick, but I don’t know what to say.
Everyone: ...
After waiting for nearly twenty years, Wang Haoze finally became an official in Beijing with his family.
Because Emperor Jing lived several years longer than expected, Prince Shun's plan failed. He devoted himself to having children in Prince Shun's mansion.
At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received the full support of Emperor Jing, and he no longer left any secret cards to his other sons. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he indeed loved his brothers and focused on his career as his father had hoped.
However, the rights given to the brothers were much less, and the rights given to their sons were even less.
Wang Haoze would have no chance of becoming a victim in their power struggle, and would be able to rely on his own efforts to slowly climb up to the center of power from a poor family.
Although it is slow, dripping water wears away stone and will eventually bear fruit.
Li Yahan, an important figure in the previous life, entered the Shunwang Mansion as a concubine with the intervention of Changsheng in this life, and was waiting for Concubine Wen to die of illness so that she could take the position.
But no matter how long they waited, Concubine Wen, who was so weak and sickly that a gust of wind could kill her, just wouldn't die.
Every day, news would spread from the hospital that Concubine Wen was dying, but in the end she was always able to escape danger and be treated by the government medical insurance.
Li Yahan didn't know how many cups she had broken, and even her breasts were hurting.
Court Physician: Actually, I am aware of the limitations of my medical skills.
As Li Yahan's son grew up day by day, her patience ran out, and she finally couldn't help but drug Concubine Wen.
As luck would have it, Princess Shun had also been waiting for this day for a long time.
In this way, Li Yahan not only failed to obtain the status of concubine, but also lost her status as a noble concubine. For the sake of Lord Li and the fact that she gave birth to a son, she had to keep the title of a lowly concubine and reflect on her mistakes in the small Buddhist temple in Prince Shun's mansion.
Li Yahan was also uneasy in the small Buddhist temple, always thinking about relying on her son to fight back.
However, Prince Shun was too powerful, and he had children one after another in the backyard. Li Yahan's son was just an ordinary child, without extraordinary looks or smart minds, so Prince Shun did not value him.
An ordinary son, denied his father's approval but burdened by his mother's ambitions, is destined to live an unrealistic life. While riding his horse through the streets, he offended someone he shouldn't have, was put in a sack and beaten, leaving him mentally disabled, never to know when he was born.
Li Yahan: ...How could this happen? The news that her concubine's younger sister had given birth to a prince was even more overwhelming.
Every day he would stay in the small Buddhist temple, picking up Buddhist beans and beating the wooden fish.
She really didn't want to see that useless son who couldn't take care of himself.
As for her family, well, no matter how they investigated her son's case, they always found that it was the Li family's fault.
Because Lord Li failed to manage his household properly, he was demoted and exiled to a cold and miserable place.
The emperor had long wanted to punish this fence-sitter, but the old fox was too cunning.
This time the one injured is a royal grandson, so any punishment would be appropriate.
What's more, if Li Guiren in the palace gave birth to a child and her family members were not demoted, who knows how this family would survive.
Imperial power cannot be challenged!
Of course, Changsheng has not neglected herself over the years. She has truly been practicing Buddhism in this world, discussing scriptures and doctrines with respected old Zen masters.
