Chapter 001: Cold Palace Resentment (1)
A torrential rain swept through the cold palace, and the withered pear tree in the courtyard fell to the ground.
Under the eaves of the house was a moldy couch, and small black mushrooms bloomed on the gray-white wood texture.
Hua Wanwan was lying on the couch, covered with a foul-smelling quilt, and the cotton wool was scrambling out of the holes in the quilt, and many lice jumped happily on it.
Her hands hung down under the couch, and the cold rain ran down the eaves against the back of her hand, cold and painful, but she was powerless to lift her hand and put it under the quilt. Her feet were also incapacitated. Ten years ago, before she was deposed and sent to the cold palace, she had been ordered by the emperor to pull out her tongue and pick out her hands and tendons.
In the past ten years, she has been the living dead in the cold palace.
Everyone thought that she would die soon, compared to the scenery of the former mother's world, the current cold palace life should make her not be able to live longer for a moment, but she tenaciously survived, and there was only one thought in her heart, she wanted to live, even if she was a waste, she couldn't speak, she couldn't act, she had to live, as long as she lived with her eyes open, she lived past Ji Yunxiu, she could watch what happened to this negative emperor in the end.
Although, she has today, all because An Nianxi competes with her for favor, and Ji Yunxiu is partial to An Nianxi, but she has never hated An Nianxi too much in her heart, she has always remembered An Nianxi's kindness to her in the four years of An family-
She is the child daughter-in-law of the An family.
An family, the elder of the Three Dynasties, the Protector Mansion, a famous family in Kyoto, how many famous ladies want to post such a family affair, how can they also raise children and daughters-in-law?
It turned out that An Shenlin, the grandson of the eldest family of the protector of the country, was frail and sickly since he was a child, and he had seen countless famous doctors and used countless strange home remedies, but they were ineffective. In the end, there was a warlock in the rivers and lakes who said to the protector that he could find a girl born on the first day of the first month of the first month to be a child daughter-in-law, and give joy to the young master An, so that the young master could turn the danger into safety.
The love of Sun Shen's heart for the public illness of the country rushed to the doctor, convinced of the mention of the Jianghu warlock, and immediately sent people to all parts of the country to find the girl born on the first day of the first month of the first month.
She was unfortunate enough to be this girl, but at the time, she was a very lucky person.
When Yapo found the village where she lived, her father had just died of illness, and the family was already in debt to treat his father, and her mother took her and her younger siblings to kneel beside her father's body and cry because she had no money to bury her father.
The village chief brought Ya Po in, and Ya Po asked, "Who is Hua Wanwan?" ”
She wiped away the tears on her face, helped her mother who was crying, and said, "I am." ”
Ya Po's shrewd gaze dribbled back and forth on her face, and at the end, she said with satisfaction: "The appearance is good, and the name is different......
The village chief hurriedly smiled: "I still gave the name!" She was born on the first day of the first month of January, the beginning of spring, this appearance is indeed born like a flower, it is really like its name......"
The village chief was the only one in the village who had read a little, and he dropped his bookbag at every turn, and he had to be idle to name the boys and girls born in the village, so as to show how knowledgeable he was among the peasants.
Ya Po was not really interested in her name, and she reconfirmed to Hua Wanwan's mother: "Was it born on the first day of the first month of the first month?" ”
The mother was already crying because of her father's death, and nodded her head.
The village chief added: "The whole village can testify, and there is also the fortune teller's birth date, saying that this girl was born on the first day of the first month of the first month, and she is very rich and noble, but I am afraid that in the future, she will have the life of the mother and the world and the nine days of Fengxiang!" ”
Mother hurriedly found the red paper that had been stored for ten years and had faded and crumpled. Ya Po snatched the red paper, looked at the words on it, immediately smiled, handed her mother a bag of silver, and said: "One hundred taels of silver to buy your daughter, I didn't expect that the golden phoenix could fly out of the mountain nest, you honest woman actually gave birth to a creative daughter, but after today, you and Hua Wanwan must break off the mother-daughter relationship, and they will never see each other again!" ”
The mother shed tears of joy and sorrow. Fate gave her no right to say no to the hundred taels of silver. Her husband has lost his breath and needs to be buried in the ground, and her two young sons and a little daughter are still waiting to be fed. But a hundred taels of silver is too much, I don't know if Ya Po bought her Wan Wan to do, a rich man's maid, or a prostitute in a brothel?
The mother didn't dare to ask, and the Ya Po didn't let her ask, and the village chief urged to hurry up and facilitate the transaction, so that he could get the commission as soon as possible. The mother could only cry and find a decent set of clothes with fewer patches for Wanwan to change into, comb her daughter's hair neatly, and then separate two widths, the ends of the earth are heaven and earth.
Ya Po brought Hua Wanwan into An's house and brought it to the Protector of the Kingdom.
The Protector's Mansion has been in a mess, and the grandson of the long house, An Shenlin, is already dying, and his breath is like a gossamer, and the oil is running out and the lamp is close at hand.
First the Duke of the Protector, then the Duchess of the Protector, and then the old ladies of the big room, the second room, the third room, and the fourth room all came to see Wan Wan like a marquee. The Protector nodded, and no one dared to say dissatisfied. Wan Wan was put on a big red wedding dress like a doll, and married An Shenlin, the grandson of the long house of the An family. Strange to say, Wan Wan is indeed a lucky star, because of her joy, An Shenlin's illness has been alleviated, and after recuperation, he gradually recovered.
Because Wan Wan and An Shenlin are still young, both of them are only ten years old, and the day of the round house is set four years later, on the first day of the first month of the first month of Wan Wan's fourteenth birthday.
In addition to An Shenlin's grandson, Dafang also has two granddaughters: An Shenlin's sister An Nianxi, and his sister An Nianxi.
Wan Wan was in the Protector's Mansion for four years, and the sister-in-law An Nianzao was very rude and willful, and she was very angry with Wan Wan, and Mrs. An Da also did not treat this child daughter-in-law because of Wan Wan's poor background, and only thought about finding a mistake to send her away, so that her baby son could be matched with the right lady. Because the son of the other three rooms of the An family will definitely marry a good match with a prominent family, and his son wants to marry such a village girl because of his illness, not only will he lose face, but he will not be of any help in his son's career in the future. However, because Wan Wan Chongxi saved An Shenlin, the Duke of the Protector and the Duchess of the Protector were very grateful to this prospective granddaughter-in-law, and Mrs. An could only hide her dissatisfaction and disgust in her heart, and did not dare to show half of it in front of the Duke and Mrs. Protector.
Wan Wan is sensitive, intelligent, An Nian's blatant hostility and Mrs. An's two-faced sword, she is deeply felt, in the four years of the An family, she is careful step by step, dare not have half a step to make a mistake, fortunately with An Shenlin's care and the eldest sister An Nianxi's care.
An Shenlin is a gentle and affectionate rich young master, they grew from ten to fourteen years old together, childhood sweethearts, and the two had no guesses. He said to her, "After we have a round house, you give me children, and if your mother is more expensive than your son, your mother will be able to accept you, and the people of the An family will no longer dare to look down on you."
So, she and he longed for the candles in the cave room, but he expected that he would die violently in the night of the candles in the cave room after four years.
When he was dying, he asked his eldest sister An Nianxi to protect her, and when the An family was angry with her because of his death and asked her to accompany her to the funeral, it was An Nianxi who saved her life on her younger brother's deathbed.
When he was buried, she was sent to the rural hometown of housekeeper Liu Qing by the An family. An Nianxi paid the Liu family five taels of silver every month as her living expenses, and in that rural village where the whole family could not spend a tael of silver a year, five taels a month was a sky-high price, but the Liu family did not treat her well. She worked as a cow and a horse in Liu's house, did all the rough work, lacked food and clothing, and was tortured, but it was An Nianxi who saved her.
She sent a carriage and horse from An's family to take her back to the Protector's Mansion. made her new clothes and conditioned her body, and then she cried and begged her: "I don't want to marry that person, please marry me as the daughter of the An family!" ”
She is the child daughter-in-law of the An family and the wife of An Shenlin!
"But you and Shen Lin don't have a round house!" An Nianxi begged, "He is the king of Ping, the fourth prince of the emperor, you marry him and enjoy endless glory and wealth, which is ten thousand times better than your situation of dying of old age in the countryside!" ”
An Nianxi is right, but this can't be a reason for her to remarry.
Although she and An Shenlin do not have a round house, her identity as an adoptive daughter-in-law is an indisputable fact, not to mention, An Shenlin has mercy on her, their relationship is as tough as a grass and as solid as a rock, if he does not die, she will have a round house with him, will give him children, they will be a loving couple, she can't betray him because he died......
An Nianxi bent down the noble knee of her eldest lady of the An family, knelt in front of her, and pleaded pitifully: "I fell in love with a scholar, he was destitute, but he was as noble as a lotus, and he would not marry in this life, so, Wan Wan, please fulfill me and fulfill my love......"
An Nianxi's tears were like broken pearls, rolling down one by one.
The tears were sincere, clear, and beautiful.
Wan Wan was moved, her love has been ruined, if she can use herself to fulfill the love of others, isn't it a merit, not to mention that this person is still a benefactor who is affectionate and righteous to her?
If it weren't for An Nianxi, she Hua Wanwan would have been forcibly martyred by the An family when An Shenlin died violently.
An Nianxi said: "I know your affection for Shen Lin, but my brother will never want you to use your youth to die for your love!" When he was dying, he asked me to protect you, and I didn't want you to be buried, so that you could live well, you are still so young, you are only sixteen years old, you should not let him down, let your life wither in vain......"
So she helped An Nianxi up, nodded and agreed: "Okay!" ”
Entered the Ping Palace, married the fourth prince as his wife, she is the princess of Ping, wholeheartedly supported Ji Yunxiu step by step from the prince to the throne, and gave birth to his eldest son Lu Zhen, until she was named the queen, it was the tenth year after marriage.
Before ascending the throne, Ji Yunxiu said, I will be the emperor for one day, and you will be my only queen; After ascending the throne, the situation changed, An Nianxi entered the palace, and the abolished edict was always on Ji Yunxiu's bookcase.
Hua Wanwan doesn't blame An Nianxi too much, Ji Yunxiu is the emperor, and she has the power to kill her, not to mention that she wants a woman to commit? No matter how beautiful she is, even if the hibiscus is like a willow like an eyebrow, she is just a beauty with some extraordinary appearance, but after all, she will be reduced to a broken flower and a willow, and her color is declining and her love is relaxed.
An Nianxi was able to marry Ji Yunxiu ten years ago, because of love, she gave up the opportunity of her mother's honor to Hua Wanwan, which shows that she is not a woman who is greedy for wealth. Her entry into the palace must have a last resort, and Hua Wanwan always defended An Nianxi in her heart.
Since you have entered the palace, it is inevitable to compete for favor. Which woman in the palace can escape the fate of competing for favor and flattery? is also looking for opportunities to get on top, not to mention that Ji Yunxiu's love for An Nianxi is all from the heart? Even if An Nianxi wanted the moon in the sky, Ji Yunxiu would take it off and give it to her, but she never expected that An Nianxi wanted not only the moon in the sky, but also her posterior, and even the position of the prince that belonged to Lu Zhen.
If she hadn't complained to the emperor that Lu Zhen was disrespectful to her, the emperor would not have locked Lu Zhen up for three days and three nights, and in the cold winter, the five-year-old child followed the emperor's will to think about it in the dark room, starved for three days, froze for three days, contracted lung disease, and finally returned to Huangquan at a young age!
