Chapter 1: People are more complicated than dogs (fictional, not related to history)
"Calling my sister here at this time will disturb her lunch break."
Nian Shilan looked at the empress who was sitting on the throne in golden hairpins and green clothes, feeling a little dazed.
It's like having a dream and waking up with a headache.
Thinking of the words Zhen Huan said before her death... She thought about it carefully, it was too long to memorize, and that bastard was against me everywhere, and she couldn't say a word.
But she was right about one thing.
People are much more complicated than dogs.
Think of how unbridled Nian Shilan was throughout her life. She was loved by her brother, doted on by her husband, and dominated the harem. She was very proud of herself.
It's a pity that after a lifetime of love, struggle and argument, in the end, love is in vain and all that is gained is a dream.
Everything was a calculation by the man she loved deeply.
She was such a proud girl, but in the end she became a proud joke in other people's mouths.
She banged her head against the cold wall of the cold palace, thinking that her ridiculous life would end there. However, she did not expect that God played a bigger joke on her. She did not die, but her soul went to a dark and secluded space.
A small table, a glowing screen, and lines of subtitles floating by.
"...I heard that the most favored one in the palace is Concubine Hua..."
"If you leave, don't enter the Yikun Palace anymore... The Emperor gave me the Huan Yi Xiang, and I use it every day..."
"... Congratulations, my lady. You are nearly two months pregnant... Everyone can give birth, so why can't I?"
"Shen Meizhuang left, and here comes Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan left, and here comes An Lingrong..."
"...My life was not worth it...Do you think my sister really loves you?...You vicious woman!..."
The women, dressed in gorgeous clothes, bloomed like flowers and fell like flowers.
She saw her life through the eyes of others. Even after her death, the story was not over yet.
She watched "Empresses in the Palace" eight hundred times by herself, not missing a single word, only to find that she had dominated the harem for many years, but what mattered to her was the small bowl on the corner of the table and the green onion in the pork chop soup.
A small side dish at someone else's banquet.
Nian Shilan couldn't believe that she was just a villain in someone else's life, and no matter what she did, she would end up dead.
She refused to believe it, rejected it, was angry, tried to negotiate with others, and finally accepted this reality in loneliness and despair, and then -
She was reborn.
Back to the starting point.
She didn't fight this time. After all, everyone was a supporting role and would die sooner or later. Even the emperor had to give way to Zhen Huan.
Who is nobler than whom?
She no longer wanted the emperor's love. Whoever liked that old, ugly man with a phlegm-choked throat could take him away.
but!
No matter how many times she has to do it again, she will still save the Nian family and her brother. Even if this is fate, she will fight against it to the end.
As for the rest, whatever.
Qing Dynasty, love is over.
What does this have to do with the supporting role of Momonji?
"My Lady, I am talking to you."
The queen saw that the people sitting below were distracted and spoke again.
Nian Shilan was disturbed and rolled her eyes inwardly:
[But I don’t want to talk to you. Aren’t you tired of pretending to be virtuous all day? ]
Why does this voice sound like Concubine Hua?
But she didn't seem to speak.
The queen looked around and suspected that something dirty had entered Jingren Palace.
[It's a pity that no matter how virtuous you pretend to be, the emperor never looks at you. You think you are the emperor's wife, but the emperor never regards you as his wife in his heart, but only as the empress.]
【The Queen...】
[To put it bluntly, she is nothing more than a harem manager, a housekeeper. ]
[Poor little concubine's daughter, she lived a cautious life in the palace, and was finally sent to the palace as a pawn by her family. She gave her heart to the emperor, but when her elder sister came, all her efforts were wasted.]
[The fortune that was in his hands was gone, the dog emperor demoted his wife to a concubine, and his legitimate son became a bastard. ]
[You have lived a miserable life, and in the end, the emperor wanted to die with you for his Wanwan. You have ended up like that. Haha, even for this, you still owe it to the Empress Dowager's will. I don't know why she pretended to be so virtuous.]
[You are really the second biggest idiot in the harem. You are all pitiful people. 】
Is Concubine Hua talking about herself?
Who told her those old stories about the palace?
And what will you end up with in the end?
Drink water when you are thirsty. Why does she drink water at the critical moment?
The Queen glanced around, and everyone was more calm than the other. Jianqiu didn't react either, and it didn't seem like she could hear any sound.
Could it be that God couldn't stand Concubine Hua's arrogant and domineering behavior, so he chose me to get rid of this harm to the people?
Not sure? Listen again.
"How can I be as leisurely and blessed as Your Majesty? I wonder what important matter Your Majesty has summoned me for?" Nian Shilan said.
[Does the Queen have a chicken eye on her buttocks? You are so restless, do you still look like a queen? ]
Queen: “…”
"The show selection is almost at the final round, how is my sister preparing?"
[You are selecting beauties for the emperor, not for me. What should I prepare? 】
Nian Shilan could not hide the disgust on her lips, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Huang Guiquan has already replied this afternoon, saying that everything is ready. Anyway, the Emperor has ordered that the treasury is empty and everything must be done frugally. I can't make money out of this, so everything will be done according to the rules."
"Rules are of course the most important thing."
The Queen spoke in a gentle voice, trying not to let anyone notice anything unusual, and said with a smile: "If you take the dignity of the royal family into consideration and do a good job, the emperor will be very pleased and will definitely reward you again."
Nian Shilan didn't respond, but picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip.
[He wants me to pay for his concubine? He is really calculating, shameless. ]
[There are two kinds of people sleeping under the same quilt. They are all staring at the little money I have. ]
[As a reward, I'll give you 10 kilograms of Huan Yi Xiang. Do you want it? ]
[Restore the dignity of the royal family. Whoever loses dignity should do so by themselves. I don’t have the time to care about it. 】
[No one can take a penny from me this time! No way! ]
How can I start talking while drinking tea?
But this is definitely her voice. Am I seeing a ghost?
The queen inexplicably felt a dryness in her throat and was a little restless.
