Chapter 182 I Want to Be a Princess

Yao Jinse smiled meaningfully, "Oh, I forgot to tell the Queen Mother that I was actually born in the capital."

The Queen Mother was stunned.

Yao Jinse glanced at the Queen Mother and seemed to be very interested in her reaction. She continued, "When I was young, I lived in a manor in the suburbs of Beijing. I didn't go to Yangzhou until I was 14 years old."

Yao Jinse's eyes were gloomy and a little playful. The Queen Mother seemed to be frightened by this look and was stunned.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were seven or eight steps away saw the Queen Mother stop beside the honeysuckle and mistakenly thought that the master was admiring the honeysuckle. They stopped their steps for fear of being scolded.

They couldn't hear the conversation between Yao Jinse and the Queen Mother at all.

"I have known since I was young that I am different from other children." Yao Jinse said as she observed the Empress Dowager's reaction.

"Other children's parents love them. Although they may scold them verbally, whenever they come home, there will be hot meals for them."

Yao Jinse smiled bitterly: "But I'm different. My parents scold me verbally and often beat me while scolding."

"As soon as I could speak fluently, I started to help with housework. If I didn't do a good job, I would often freeze and go hungry."

"People in the farm scolded me behind my back, calling me a bastard that no one wanted. Even if my parents heard it, they never cared and just let it go." The

Empress Dowager's face was very ugly and her lips trembled slightly. It seemed that she wanted to say something but was deliberately restraining herself.

"How can there be parents who don't love their own children? Aren't they your biological parents?" The Queen Mother suppressed her turbulent emotions and asked calmly.

Yao Jinse bit her lips in hatred, as if she was also suppressing her pain.

"Maybe. They do love their son, my brother who is two years older than me."

She paused and continued, "In the early winter of my thirteenth year, I was washing clothes by the river. The icy river water cut my hands like a knife. My hands were so painful and cold that I even lost consciousness."

"The children in the village were all playing. It was almost New Year, and their parents made new clothes for them and bought new toys."

"They deliberately took their new toys and ran to me to show off. I ignored them, so they took apart the firecrackers, lit them one by one, and threw them at me."

The Empress Dowager clenched her hands tightly in the sleeves of her wide belt, as if venting her emotions, but she tried to keep her face calm.

"They..." The Queen Mother's tone was a little difficult, "How could they be so bad! Are you injured?"

Yao Jinse's eyes were a little red, but she tried to smile and said: "I was so scared that I fell into the river."

The Queen Mother's heart tightened, "What happened later?"

"The river water was so cold, I struggled desperately, but soon a lot of water was poured into me, and soon I felt frozen all over."

"After a while, I couldn't even shout, and I didn't know anything after that."

"When I woke up again, I was lying at home." Yao Jinse spoke vividly, which was very contagious.

These experiences were indeed experienced by Yao Jinse personally, but to be precise, these were the experiences of the original owner, but not the experiences of her as a time traveler.

Ever since the original owner fell into the water at the age of thirteen, he was traveled through by modern people. However, the traveler can only feel the original owner's past memories.

Yao Jinse lowered his head and couldn't help but curl his lips with pride.

His acting skills are really good. He can rely on those few memories to talk about the miserable experience as if it really happened to him.

"You are so lucky!" The Queen Mother's eyes were a little red.

"Jinse, what is the name of the manor where you have lived since you were a child?" The Queen Mother stepped forward and suddenly grabbed Yao Jinse's hand.

"Mai Xiangyuan." Yao Jinse's tone was light.

The Queen Mother instantly felt the blood rushing up and her mind went blank.

"What? Maixiang Garden?! Is it the Maixiang Garden at the foot of Erquan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing?" the empress dowager asked, her face full of shock and pain.

"Yes, that one." Yao Jinse's tone was still light, but her eyes were complicated.

The empress dowager felt her legs go weak, and she quickly grabbed the trunk of the honeysuckle tree to avoid falling.

Maixiang Garden at the foot of Erquan Mountain was the Jiang family's manor.

Back then, after she gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, she was sent to the manor by the Jiang family before the full month.

The empress dowager quickly sorted out her thoughts, stood up straight, and took Yao Jinse's left hand.

She pulled up Yao Jinse's sleeve, revealing a red birthmark on her forearm.

"It's really you!" The Queen Mother could no longer control her tears, which rolled down like beads from a broken string.

She clearly remembered that there was a red birthmark on the child's left forearm.

Yao Jinse's eyes were red and tears welled up in her eyes, but she never cried. She smiled sinisterly, "Yes, it's me."

"It's not easy for you to still remember this birthmark."

The Queen Mother bit her lips painfully, trying hard not to cry out.

Then, she took out a handkerchief, quickly wiped her tears, and whispered, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the palace and talk slowly."

She was the Queen Mother of Daxia. If the fact that she had an affair with someone before marriage and gave birth to an illegitimate daughter was exposed, she would probably be drowned by the spit of the people of Daxia.

...

In the inner chamber of Shoukang Palace, there were only Yao Jinse and the Empress Dowager.

"My daughter, I am sorry for you. I will satisfy you with whatever you want!"

In the private environment, the Empress Dowager could no longer hold back her tears.

She cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound, and hugged Yao Jinse tightly in her arms.

Yao Jinse pouted in disgust.

If this old woman was not useful to her, she really wanted to push her away.

"I want to be a princess!" Yao Jinse said coldly.

This rude request was like a basin of cold water, which immediately sobered up the Empress Dowager's confused thoughts.

"Princess?!" The Empress Dowager was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Child, I know that I owe you a lot. Even if I compensate you with all my wealth and glory, it is not enough to make up for your pain."

"But, Princess, this is too much to ask."

Yao Jinse gently pushed the Queen Mother away, looked into her eyes and said, "The Queen Mother's daughter is the princess of Daxia. Isn't this natural?"

The Queen Mother shook her head in embarrassment: "But...but..."

Yao Jinse smiled contemptuously: "But my biological father is not the late emperor. Is that what you want to say?"

The Queen Mother lowered her head in embarrassment.

She really wanted to say this, but she was afraid of angering Yao Jinse.

The Queen Mother was silent for a while, looking at Yao Jinse in confusion.

She really couldn't understand why her illegitimate daughter tried every means to enter the palace and recognize herself.
