Chapter 5 Rebirth of Su Yiyi
Qiu Shui Pavilion.
Su Yiyi had a high fever for a day and a night due to a spring cold, and was in a trance when she woke up.
Seeing Cuiguo, the first-class maid who looked five years younger than she remembered, she suddenly asked, "Cuiguo, what year is Yuantai in now?"
Cuiguo looked at her young lady worriedly. Could it be that she had burned out her brain?
"Second Miss, it's the 26th year of Yuantai. Did your high fever damage your brain?"
Su Yiyi murmured to herself, "The twenty-sixth year of Yuantai..."
After her death, she unexpectedly returned to the 26th year of Yuantai, a year in which she had not yet been married to Song Zhi, the second son of Marquis Xuanping, who was implicated in the case of the deposed crown prince.
Who could have thought that His Majesty, who had always valued the Crown Prince so much, would actually depose him in just five years?
She remembered that five years later, the most popular person was Prince Jin Rong Jinyu, but she had not yet been engaged.
When Su Yiyi thought of her elder sister Su Zhenzhen, who had lived a happy and honorable life, she gritted her teeth.
Why did Su Zhenzhen live such a glorious and distinguished life?
In her previous life, she watched from afar in the back row of a palace banquet for ladies as Su Zhenzhen enjoyed the emperor's favor and became the Princess of Yan in a glorious manner.
Prince Yan Rong Jinchen does not accept other women, not even a concubine. They have been married for five years but have only one son. Yet, His Majesty still allows them to be a couple for the rest of their lives.
Why does Su Zhenzhen do this?
Is it just because she is the eldest daughter?
She Su Yiyi is not convinced!
If she were the eldest daughter, this marriage should have been hers!
Why did she marry only the second son of a marquis, while she, Su Zhenzhen, was the princess of a first-rank prince?
Su Qiyang was a first-rank academician and minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was also her biological father.
What's the difference?
Why has her food, clothing, and daily expenses been so much worse than Su Zhenzhen's since she was a child?
She's still daddy's daughter!
Why can Su Zhenzhen use the most luxurious cloud brocade, floating luster brocade, soft smoke silk and fragrant cloud gauze, while Su Yiyi can only use silk and satin worth less than twenty taels per piece?
Su Yiyi's monthly allowance was only ten taels of silver, and her dowry was only five thousand taels from the public treasury and two small farms and shops, which added up to just under ten thousand taels.
And what about Su Zhenzhen?
When Su Zhenzhen got married, she had a dowry that was worth five or six hundred thousand taels.
Her father was really partial. A quarter of the wealth accumulated by the Su family over generations was taken away by Su Zhenzhen.
Thinking of this, Su Yiyi felt so angry that her heart ached.
She is lucky enough to be reborn in this life, and she must become a superior person!
More honorable than the princess is the queen!
She wants to marry Prince Jin as a concubine!
Concubine, Imperial Concubine, Queen!
She's going to climb up!
By then, even Su Zhenzhen, a mere princess, would have to kneel down and pay her respects!
Looking at her young lady's crazy expression, Cuiguo swallowed in fear.
Finished.
Her young lady is going crazy!
The Office of the Minister of Rites.
Xie Cijing stayed in his study, sorting out the latest storybook he had found, preparing to send it to Zhenzhen tomorrow...
His jade-like face couldn't help but smile as he looked at the painting of a beautiful woman under crabapple blossoms hanging on the wall of his study, imagining his daily life after marriage, a harmonious marriage with Zhenzhen...
"Thank you, big brother. This is the bird's nest I made myself. Is the eldest master here?"
Xie Mo, Xie Cijing's personal servant, was standing outside. When he saw Shuibi, the maid assigned by the lady who was well-versed in human affairs, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Shuibi is beautiful and elegant, with a good figure. A light green satin dress makes her look fresh, and her deer eyes are full of shyness.
Xie Qi felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, as he was a fan of the couple Young Master and Miss Su.
He knew exactly what the young master was thinking.
Shuibi's dream of becoming a concubine is absolutely impossible to realize.
Pooh.
After the young master took her in according to the rules before marriage, he sold her far away to avoid being an eyesore.
He dismissed her directly, "The young master is very busy. He won't eat your bird's nest. Go back."
Is the study also a place she deserves to be in?
A trace of humiliation flashed across Shuibi's beautiful and ethereal face. She smiled faintly and said, "I overstepped the boundaries."
Inside the Meridian Gate, the eldest Su brother, Su Jun, and the second Su brother, Su Yu, had just come out of the office when they heard a servant announce, "Master, Master, someone from the palace has come to report that the eldest daughter has been granted marriage to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. It was His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan who came personally to deliver the decree!"
They:Σ(д|||)
The colleagues walking beside him were shocked, then congratulated him and said sourly:
"Master Su, Little Master Su, congratulations! His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is young and promising, and Miss Su is stunningly beautiful. They are truly a perfect match!"
"You two are about to become the uncles of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Your future is limitless..."
“…”
After thanking his colleagues who had congratulated him in a daze, Su Yu didn't even bother riding his horse, and went back directly in his elder brother Su Jun's carriage...
No matter how jealous their colleagues were, they dared not offend the brothers Su Jun and Su Yu.
Su Qiyangjian is in the emperor's heart and is deeply favored by the emperor. Even the prime minister is not as trusted by the emperor as he is.
The eldest son Su Jun passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen and became a top scorer in the imperial examination. In just a few years, he was promoted to the fourth rank official and became the Minister of the Dali Temple.
The second son, Su Yu, fled to the border a few years ago and was just conferred the title of General Mingwei of the fourth rank today.
Although the Su family only has two sons and is not a large family, they have a bright future.
Miss Su Zhenzhen doesn't have a good reputation, but she was married to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is so lucky. Miss Su’s talent aside, her face is truly stunning.
How many young men from aristocratic families in the capital have lost their entire lives because of her at first sight?
A famous scholar even wrote a stunning poem "The Goddess of Luo River" for her, and she was truly worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital.
No matter how much someone hates Su Zhenzhen, they cannot discredit her beauty.
They chose the most beautiful woman in the capital, not the most talented woman in the capital.
All men are lustful.
Marry a virtuous wife and take a beautiful concubine.
Miss Su's father and brother are capable, and the emperor favors her greatly, so her family is expected to prosper for three generations.
Who wouldn’t be greedy?
What's reputation?
Su Zhenzhen is the dream lover of many men.
Besides, they all knew how Miss Su got her reputation.
Those who point fingers and say that Miss Su has a bad reputation are just sour grapes.
It’s enough for a beautiful woman to be beautiful. She just isn’t proficient in any talent, but it’s not like others don’t have it.
Furthermore, the most important thing for a man is his wife’s appearance and family background; talent is far less important than the former.
They are the most realistic.
After Su Zhenzhen came of age, matchmakers came to the Su Mansion to propose marriage, lining up at the door. What did reputation matter to her?
Unfortunately, Su Qiyang, who doted on his daughter, was very picky and was said to have set his sights on Xie Cijing, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination three years ago.
It was no exaggeration to say that all the unmarried and unengaged young men from noble families in the capital were heartbroken...
Unfortunately, the imperial decree granting the marriage was issued before the six rituals were completed.
They didn't dare to say that Miss Su was engaged to Xie Cijing!
Don’t worry about your life!
Haven’t you heard that this is an imperial edict?
Prince of Yan Rong Jinchen is the only biological brother of Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, and the Princess of Yan is a first-rank princess.
If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan will become a hereditary prince.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is also the legitimate son of the Empress. The eldest daughter of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of Revenue was granted marriage to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. This...
To be honest, the Crown Princess's family background is just like this, right?
I don’t know whether this imperial decree was granted by His Majesty or requested by His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan himself?
They have to go back and find out more.
