Not white
I was reprimanded by the sage and was so upset that I accidentally lost the things of the previous emperor. I was so panicked that I fell into the East China Sea Lake. Because I couldn't swim, I hit the strange rocks in the lake. Fortunately, I was rescued by the palace maids and saved my life. Unfortunately, I was left with a very conspicuous scar on my face.
In the palace, everyone was talking about this.
"Jade……"
These were the last words I said before I passed out.
Even if I am alone, I will still perform well.
I dreamed for many days and woke up five days later.
Five days in which I was half alive, half dead, half asleep and half awake.
The Li family's royal court was bustling with activity, and the imperial court was an unrestrained, rampant carnival for fame and fortune.
My appearance was ruined and I became a discarded person.
It was only natural that Empress Dowager Feng would abandon me first. This was human nature as expected. The Empress Dowager never acted on impulse in matters of family and country, and I am very grateful to her.
The court officials recommended the Wang family, the Zhao family, the Liu family, the Zhang family... Each family had a good wife or queen who was quiet and dignified, had good moral character, could rule the world, and could assist the saint.
Everyone was fighting for the position of Empress, fighting openly and secretly, and neither of them would give in.
The Empress Dowager favored Lady Zheng, so Concubine Dong went to bring her to the Taiji Palace in person, and the lady stayed in the Lizheng Palace overnight.
Madam Zheng was already the Empress Dowager's favorite, and Empress Dowager Feng had promised her the title of Imperial Concubine long ago.
Since I was no longer useful, Madam Zheng took no effort and became the new queen.
My uncle, the prime minister, is the one who can read people's hearts the best. He knew what I was thinking long ago and anticipated that there must be something fishy about what I did.
There was constant noise in the palace, so the old Taoist priest stayed at home, practicing Taoism and refining elixirs, and simply stayed indoors, ignoring worldly affairs.
If I become the queen, the Yan family will certainly prosper, but if I cannot become the queen, the Yan family will live a more stable life.
Advance and retreat, advancing is risky, retreating is harmless.
On the contrary, the mistress of the Yan family left home and ran around in the court, even going so far as to beg the empress dowager for help, in order to preserve the position of queen that did not belong to me, and to preserve the so-called glory of the Yan family.
The Queen Mother will definitely not be moved.
He only left one sentence, "I will not treat my raccoon slave badly."
Eunuch Dong told me that when he asked, he found that the mistress had aged a lot.
Many court officials criticized me harshly for my background. The word "bastard" that I cared about the most and could not bear to hear the most, by chance, opened up a way out for me.
The good things that the mistress did many years ago, inadvertently helped me many years later.
Let everyone in Chang'an and Luoyang know that I am a bastard and the mistress, and the one who wants to protect the position of queen of Taiji Palace is also the mistress.
I was the butt of her joke as a child, and I am still the butt of her joke today.
After several years, and many twists and turns, the person who hates me the most in the world is still the mistress of the Yan family.
A cycle of good karma repeats itself!
The sage, remembering his favorite person, refused to enthrone Lady Zheng as queen.
The new emperor first rescued Madam Feng from the palace and conferred the title of Imperial Concubine on her that night. The decree of conferring the title of Imperial Concubine arrived before Madam Feng left the palace, which was a great honor.
That night, everyone said that Concubine Feng knelt down and cried, refusing to leave and would rather die than leave the palace.
There is a vacant position of Queen above, and the position of Imperial Concubine bestowed by the Saint is really not enough.
The imperial concubine would rather go to the cold palace and eat leftovers than enter the Xianju Palace and be favored by the imperial concubine.
They were flirting and sulking, making everyone in the palace terrified and unable to sleep at night. What was the quarrel between the couple?
I can't see through it, let alone guess it, and I don't want to understand it.
Madam Xue had no children. Within five days, she was promoted three levels, from a junior concubine to one of the four concubines. When I woke up from my dream, Xue Yinmei had become the concubine of this dynasty and lived in Chengxiang Palace.
The Empress Dowager had been prepared for Feng Rusu, but she was caught off guard by Xue Yinmei.
The Queen Mother angrily scolded the dead things, and the Queen Mother of Qi laughed so hard that she broke two porcelain bottles.
The previous dynasty's Consort Xue became the Queen Mother of Qi, and Consort Tong Shu became the Imperial Noble Queen Mother and moved to Jishan Palace.
During those five days, the Saint said many disrespectful and rebellious words about Concubine Feng and Concubine Xue.
Disrespectful and disobedient to the Queen Mother.
Eunuch Dong told me quietly that during those five days, he and Concubine Zhu never left the Taiji Palace.
Power, beauty, nourishing, mighty and sacred, how could the empress dowager be willing to give it to the emperor, and how could the emperor not seize it?
Concubine Feng and Concubine Xue were loved by the emperor, but they ultimately lived a miserable life.
Madam Zheng and I followed the Queen Mother, and ended up dying a miserable death.
After five days of commotion, the emperor and the empress dowager each gave in.
The Empress Dowager was a figurehead, the Phoenix Seal was covered in dust, and Concubine Feng, Concubine Xue, and Concubine Zheng were all unable to take the throne.
The five-year-old girl of the Yang family became the empress of the new dynasty.
The power of the six palaces is still in the hands of the Queen Mother.
The master of the harem is still the empress dowager, and the master of the world is still the empress dowager.
If you stay in Taiji Palace, you will end up in Ye Ting or the Cold Palace sooner or later.
Fortunately... I gave myself a "knife", and no longer have to get involved in the Li family's messy affairs.
Five days later, I woke up in Xingqing Palace.
Ah Xiang cried silently, her eyes were red from crying.
And that half of the shabby and ominous jade returned to my body like a ghost that could not be driven away by fire.
I stood up and looked at the bronze mirror, and couldn't help laughing out loud. At first I laughed quietly, so quietly that it couldn't be heard. After a while, the sound became louder and louder, and I just felt it was not enough.
When Ah Xiang couldn't bear the shock of being disfigured, she ran out crying.
The person in the mirror is not me, but a conspicuous but harmless scar. My hair cannot hide it. It is neither too long nor too short, neither too deep nor too shallow, just right. It is very well-behaved and sensible.
This autumn day was originally desolate and bleak, but what I saw was cool and comfortable.
Xingqing Palace was the residence of the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor arrived at Yongle Hall first.
The saint appeared behind me, and the bronze mirror shattered. He saw through my intention at a glance.
The deer lost its antlers and the fox lost its tail.
Xinjun looked like a plucked peacock, his eyes dripping wax. The hot wax dripped onto the back of my hand. He pinched my hand tightly and pried it open. The red mark was as eye-catching as the scar on my head. I used too much force. It was a scar left by the stones in the lake.
"It's you!"
The saint rebuked silently.
After the new emperor did not value his meritorious officials, he persecuted the daughter of his benefactor.
Of course I am wronging others, but even if I am wronging my master, so what?
Your Majesty, it is not unfair at all!
The emperor, a powerless emperor, what can he do to me?
Seeing that I refused to plead guilty, the Saint wanted to execute all the palace maids, female officials, and eunuchs who followed me that day, of course... including my Ah Xiang, and surprisingly... his Zhu Buxiu.
I am indeed guilty, and I will never admit this crime until I die.
Even if all the people in the world were dead, I would not acknowledge you.
For the sake of my future, I made up my mind to cut myself with a knife, so how could I care about other people's lives?
If I were a passionate and enthusiastic person, I would not harm myself without considering the consequences.
The emperor's method of threatening me with human life is too inadequate.
No one knows whether the emperor is reluctant to part with Eunuch Zhu, but I certainly am reluctant to part with Ah Xiang.
Saints like to kill innocent people, but I have been addicted to gambling all my life.
I'm betting again, Queen Mother, how could you allow him to kill people for no reason? I bet the Queen Mother won't let the emperor take human life so lightly.
"What did Your Majesty say? I can't hear a word..." I asked.
After I finished speaking, the saint's anger disappeared and he slowly let go of my hand.
The Queen Mother finally arrived and questioned the new emperor, "A gentleman cultivates virtue and morality, yet this is how the Emperor treats the daughter of a meritorious official?"
I can't hear clearly.
The water from the East China Sea Lake gave me a cold. The doctor said that my ears were burned and I would no longer be able to distinguish sounds. The emperor was helpless and fled to Xingqing Palace.
I bowed to the Queen Mother and said calmly, "Mother, I can no longer fulfill my filial duties by your side..."
In Taiji Palace, the person in charge at that time was Empress Dowager Feng, so I naturally had to use the Empress Dowager's power to suppress the emperor's majesty.
The mother-son bond has turned into a separation. Sooner or later, the mother and son of Taiji Palace will have to fight to the death. I might as well add a little detail overtly and add fuel to the fire secretly.
I shifted the disaster eastward, turning the saint's personal matter of disliking me into a heavenly matter of mother and son fighting for power.
I covered my wound, tears streaming down my face, and asked, "Mother, does my brother not hate me?"
The Queen Mother was fair and impartial, but she could not escape the cage of women's rules and regulations, and she always had a tender maternal heart.
Even if the new emperor is very wise, he is just a child emperor who is young and inexperienced.
My instigation only accelerated the estrangement between mother and son.
If the late emperor were still alive, I would not dare do a single thing or say a single word like this.
One of my ears is dead, and the other ear is sometimes good and sometimes bad, sometimes working and sometimes not.
At that moment, I heard the Queen Mother angrily say, "He Nu, it's not that he hates you, but he is undisciplined and refuses to listen to you anymore."
When the Queen Mother had finished her words, I kowtowed to hide my smile.
