Shangyuan is full of lights, which is for Xi. The sky is about to light up, but it is not bright yet, which is Xi.
The woman opposite seemed to pause for a long time, and then a hoarse voice sounded faintly: "Busy? I don't know what is so important, even more important than my wife, who is about to die of illness."
"Madam..."
"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it." The woman coughed twice. She seemed to be trying her best to suppress the cough and refused to be disadvantaged in front of others. The maid standing outside also knew the master's rules. She held her breath and lowered her head, not looking at the sick and weak appearance of the other party. After a while, the cough finally subsided. The woman did not bother to use tea to moisten her throat, but forced herself to ask: "Who came to deliver the message?"
The maid looked unbearable: "The Crown Princess..."
"Say!"
The maid sighed and said, "It's Miss Yunhui."
"Yunhui..." the woman laughed softly. She couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or self-deprecation, "She is the one who can't compete with her. Sure enough, she still can't compete. She has served the prince for many years, and it was given by Princess Shen. How can an outsider like me, who has been in love for many years, compare to this?"
Obviously she is the eldest concubine, but she said that she was an outsider. This would be laughed at by other people, but in Prince Yan's palace, the maid knew that the eldest concubine did not say bad things.
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have only been married for a year, and they are already worse than strangers. The imperial concubine was so ill that they, the servants, went to the front yard to invite her to the front yard without telling her, but the results became more and more disappointing each time. The maids knew that although the imperial concubine had a tough talk and did not allow them to intercede with the prince, she turned a blind eye to their little actions. It was obvious that the imperial concubine also wanted to see the prince. But no, the prince never came even once.
Lin Weixi was still lying on the simple wooden bed with her eyes closed, but tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes, making the pillow wet. Lin Weixi knew that she was trapped in a nightmare. Even in her dream, her past memories refused to let go of her, so she took her back to Prince Yan's Mansion and her failed marriage.
Actually, her name was not Lin Weixi, nor was she a woman from this small village. Her natal family in her previous life was very prominent. Her original name was Gao Xi, and she was the eldest granddaughter of a British duke. Her biological father was the only legitimate son of the duke, and her biological mother was the only daughter of Princess Shoukang. She was reincarnated into this kind of family, and her background was quite impressive.
Because of her high status, Gao Xi has been very strong since she was a child. Later, she did not lose face when she got married. She relied on her grandmother's reputation to get engaged to King Yan's only son, Gu Chengyao. After the marriage was announced, the whole city was shocked. The eldest princess Shoukang was able to choose Gao Xi as King Yan's only son. The eldest princess's face was extremely serious.
Speaking of King Yan, looking at the world, no matter men, women, old or young, even children with Huangkou have heard of his illustrious reputation. The last years of the late Emperor Jianzhao were very turbulent. Concubine Bu was domineering and the powerful eunuchs controlled the court. If King Yan hadn't come to Beijing in time to bring order to the throne and kill the eunuchs, things would have changed drastically. King Yan worked hard to protect the emperor and quell the chaos. After the death of the previous emperor, he supported the new emperor who was only eight years old to succeed to the throne. The vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty bullied the new emperor's youth. In the second year, many border areas were about to be invaded. King Yan took the initiative to ask for war and led his troops out of Beijing to quell the chaos. During the days when Gao Xi was seriously ill in bed, news of King Yan's victory had just come from the front. information. After the good news came, the court cheered. To put it bluntly, the little emperor was young, the Queen Mother Qian was cowardly, and the bureaucracy in the court was in chaos. Now the entire kingdom of Zhou Dynasty was guarded by King Yan alone.
The King of Yan only had one son, Gu Chengyao. Gao Xi was Gu Chengyao's legitimate wife and her father-in-law had made many military exploits. She should feel honored. It's a pity that the glory of Prince Yan's Palace belongs to Prince Yan's Palace and has nothing to do with her, the Crown Princess.
Gao Xi sometimes also wonders, when she first married Gu Chengyao, there were times when she was deeply affectionate, but why did he become so cold all of a sudden?
I still remember that on the night of her first wedding, when Gu Chengyao took off his hijab, he deliberately avoided everyone and said to her with a smile: "Look, I have finally found you."
Gao Xi is confused, what does this mean? But the newlyweds were already thin-skinned, so Gu Chengyao regarded her silence as shyness, and smiled lightly and stopped mentioning it. What girl is not pregnant? Gao Xi grew up listening to the achievements of King Yan, and now he can marry the only son of King Yan, who is still such a heavenly person. Gao Xi's heart was immediately struck, and he became worried and happy. Gu Chengyao's wife. In the next month, the two of them became very affectionate and almost inseparable. Gao Xi was as happy as if she had fallen into a honeypot. She had seen her mother grow up suffering from the concubine's anger since she was a child. She never thought that her marriage would be so bad. To be so happy.
But she still misjudged God's kindness. Flowers will wither, beauties will grow old, and things that are too beautiful will never last long. In just one month, Gu Chengyao's attitude took a turn for the worse. That day, he looked at her coldly and asked: "Why did you lie? Why did you pretend to be someone else?"
What?
She was sewing clothes for Gu Chengyao at that time. She was not very good at female celebrities because she couldn't compare with Gao Ran, so she disliked doing it less and less. But now, she wanted to make a suit of clothes for Gu Chengyao with her own hands, pricking her fingers with needle holes without caring. Hearing Gu Chengyao's words, Gao Xi was confused. What kind of lie? What to replace?
Since then, the relationship between Gao Xi and Gu Chengyao has become cold. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has plummeted. Gao Xi is the eldest granddaughter of the Duke, and has a pampered grandmother who is the eldest princess. She has a very strong temper. Since Gu Chengyao can't come, don't come again. Don't expect her to be like those concubines. The attitude of competing for favor and retaining.
Later, the couple became increasingly estranged and turned against each other. In the end, when Gao Xi fell ill and lingered on the bed unable to get up, Gu Chengyao refused to even look at her.
Gao Xi is a very proud person, but this failed marriage completely destroyed all her pride.
Gao Xi was unwilling to give in when she was dying. What did she do wrong? Why doesn't Gu Chengyao like her? Even if you don't like her, why wouldn't you even give her the last dignity of your wife?
Perhaps because of the unresolved grudges, her soul was not taken away by the bull-headed horse-faced face. She floated in a daze for a while, and then returned to the human world again.
This time, Gao Xi finally knew why Gu Chengyao asked her those two questions and why he suddenly fell out of favor.
Gao Xi saw a book in the vast whiteness. She was confused and tentatively flipped through it. Then she was so shocked by the contents that her whole body became stiff and trembling.
The book contains Gao Xi's life, but unfortunately, the protagonist is not her, but Gao Xi's concubine, Gao Ran, the thorn in her side since childhood.
The book says that Gao Ran traveled through time. Gao Xi didn't understand what time travel was, but this was just a passing fact in the book and was not important. What really concerned Gao Xi was the story behind it.
According to the description in the book, Gao Ran traveled through time and became an unpopular concubine in the British government. She was only six years old and had just suffered a serious illness and almost died. Perhaps he died so that he could be replaced by Gao Ran.
