Chapter 3: Rebirth

Hate it! Ji Fuyu, hate forever!

There was no other consciousness in my mind, just chanting in my mind over and over again like a mantra. The man who has been in the same bed for six years spoils me, but he is also guarding me!

"This is called Jiuhe incense, which is a secret spice made in the Western Regions, and I have got so much of it, and all of it is given to the concubine. In the future, remember to light it when you serve me, it is said that this incense ...... It can be emotional. I still remember when the man said this to me with a smile, and I lay down in his arms happily and shyly. So, every time I fell in love with him after that, I would light this incense.

I naively thought that no one else had it, and that only I had this thing could show that the Son of Heaven looked at me differently.

When I stroked my flat lower abdomen, I said to him: "Your Majesty, the concubine is sorry for you, you give the concubine the most favor, but the concubine can't conceive your child." ”

He smiled and put his hand into my little coat and said with relief: "I have many sons, not one in your womb." What's more, wouldn't it be nice for me to spoil you like this every day?"

I was glad at his generosity, but now that I think about it, I was nothing more than a tool for warming his bed.

There was a cramping pain in my abdomen, and I was dancing with my hands trying to grasp something, but my eyes were blurry and my ears were roaring. I couldn't see the concubine's smug face clearly, and I couldn't hear her laughter. I lay on the ground in pain, only to feel that my surroundings were getting darker and colder, and large mouthfuls of blood flowed and flowed out and down the corners of my lips until there was no more blood to flow.

Vaguely, I could still hear the shrill voice reading a string of characters, and I thought it was ridiculous, could it be that there were eunuchs in the underworld? The chaos in front of me faded, the roar in my ears gradually faded, and everything around me became extremely clear.

At this time, I was still kneeling, not in the rain, but in the sky the warm sun was just right. I could feel the warmth of the sun shining on my body, and for a moment I was in a trance—I'm not dead? So where is this?

The sharp voice was still reading, and I could only hear clearly the two words he dragged out at the end: "Qin this-" and then I heard him smile flatteringly: "Congratulations, Lord Shangshu, there is a lady in the house!"

This sentence is very familiar, as if I heard such words many years ago when I was canonized. But...... That's impossible.

I raised my head and looked at the man from the Yellow Shirt Palace who was delivering the decree, it was Cao Hong beside Gonggong Jiang......! My Dad!

I looked around in a daze, my father, my mother, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my sister...... And I am now receiving the decree in my own courtyard, and the decree I receive is the decree of announcing my entry into the palace. So now it's ...... Six years ago?!

I couldn't believe it and shouted: "Dad, mother......" Tears flowed out all of a sudden, before I died, the whole family had been exiled, I thought I wouldn't see each other again in this life, but I didn't expect that now I would see my father and mother again.

"Silly girl, what are you crying about. The mother said softly, but her tone was choked, presumably I was about to enter the palace, and she felt uncomfortable.

So, am I indeed back six years ago? I am not dead, or rather, I am dead, but my soul is back six years ago? But since the curtain of heaven has brought me back to the past, why not let me avoid the fate of entering the palace?

"Oh, I guess the fourth lady is so happy, so she cried with joy, right?" Cao Hong said with a smile.

I turned my face away and wiped my tears, the joy and sorrow in my heart were mixed, and how could others understand. The joy is that I have come back from the dead and returned to being with my parents six years ago, and the sad thing is that I have not been able to escape the fate of entering the palace after all, and I will be separated from my family again in a short time.

His father rewarded Cao Hong and sent him out. My mother and I carried back to my boudoir, which was the same as it was six years ago, and when I entered the door was a chair made of sour branch wood, carved with a Ganoderma lucidum pattern, and a few high in the middle of the two chairs, with Yixing's purple sand on it. On the large yellow rosewood case near the window, there is still a half-painted gongbi painting, a row of pine ivory carving pens hanging with lake pens, and the rain from the official kiln is washed by the azure pen, which is filled with water. Next to it was a stack of books taken from my father's study, and on the left hand was a large blue and white porcelain urn with various scrolls in it. On the windowsill is a pot of orchid grass that grows very well. The wall is hung with Dong Qichang's landscape and Mi Fu's wild grass, and there is a resting bamboo couch opposite, and a layer of cushions embroidered with bamboo drawings is laid on it. There was a chessboard on the couch, which was lonely because there was no one to talk to.

The inner room was the bedroom, partitioned by a round arch and blocked by a light veil, which was hung at this time. On either side are lattice shelves with various knick-knacks on them. Facing a rosewood screen, on which is painted a picture of begonia spring sleeping. Next to it is a dressing mirror, and on the other side is a small machine, resting the famous piano "Jiaotong".

Everything familiar was in front of me, and my mind slowly calmed down.

"Auntie, you have been famous since you were a child, and this time you were recited everywhere by people in the market because you saw through the Turkic spies, and you were favored by the emperor. When the emperor asked your father about you, although your father mentioned that you were still young and had a sister who was of marriage age, the emperor still insisted on asking you. Alas, I really don't know what to do. Mother said worriedly.

I fell into a memory for a while, yes, not long ago on the night of Tanabata, I went out to play with my brother, accidentally got separated, and met two strange people, they said things that others didn't understand, but I understood. Because my country has been at war with the Turks, my father often had a headache about it, so I learned a few words of Turkic with more heart. After recognizing them as Turks, I didn't make a statement, but found Jing Zhaoyin and asked them to disguise themselves to arrest people. The two Turks had been taken before they knew it.

When they were caught, they were quibbling in Chinese, so I went up to greet them in Turkic, and they were fooled. Later, this matter somehow spread, and therefore reached the ears of the emperor. This is the purpose of today, and all that is to come.

Thinking about it now, I was proud at the time, but now, I regret it deeply.

In order to comfort my mother, I had to laugh and say: "Mother, don't you often say that like your daughter and me, in appearance, character, talent, and family background, it is necessary for the best man in the world to match?

The mother was stunned, sighed, and said, "Okay, everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone." Since the emperor has taken a fancy to you, what can he do? It's just that I'm afraid that you will be in ......the harem with your temperament."

I inhaled secretly, looked out the window, and said, "Don't worry, mother, daughter...... I won't let my own temperament come from nonsense, I will think about my family first in everything. ”

Mother nodded, and I still looked out the window, in this life, there will be no more swordsmen, I will be fish!
