Chapter 1: Soul Piercing
The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and the sky is cloudless.
Zhao Qingxiang and her husband Jin Weiji took a pair of lovely children together, and the family chased and frolicked happily on the lush green grass.
The nine-year-old son held his four-year-old sister's hand and shouted as he ran, "Mother! Mother one by one! Come and get us! ”
The children's crisp and melodious children's voices are sprinkled all over the world.
Zhao Qingxiang chased the children and had a lot of fun.
Jin Weiji sat next to them and laughed at them playing and playing, while telling the children to run slowly.
At some point, a dark cloud drifted over, quietly obscuring the golden sunlight.
Suddenly, a colorful tiger ran out of nowhere, roaring and rushing towards them.
The two children were so frightened that they burst into tears.
Jin Weiji suddenly sneered and pushed her in front of the tiger, and he ran away with a pair of children in his arms.
Zhao Qingxiang was busy drawing her sword to kill the tiger, but soon she found that there was no sword in the tip of the sword!
When she was in a hurry, she saw the tiger bite with its mouth wide open.
As soon as he smelled the bloody smell in the tiger's mouth, Zhao Qingxiang immediately felt pain all over his body, and woke up as soon as he was in pain, and his whole body was already sweating profusely.
Only then did she realize that she was still lying on the carved bed.
Since she was reborn, this dream has been with her for several nights.
It wasn't until she opened her eyes again that she had to accept the fact that she had been reborn.
Yes, Zhao Qingxiang originally did not belong to the cold inner courtyard of the palace.
She was an ordinary civilian woman in Cangyu, and in order to lead away the pursuit of the enemy, she did not hesitate to jump off the cliff to save her husband and two children.
Who knew that if you opened your eyes again, you would become an abandoned concubine in a cold palace, no! is a woman who has been deprived of the title of concubine and is confined here. And also has two cheap sons.
This woman's real name is Zhou Hui, and like Zhao Qingxiang, she is from Cangyu, and her father is a local county.
Zhou Hui's life should have been infinitely beautiful, but she was defeated when she gave birth to a pair of pit mother's twin sons:
Zhou Hui has been born with a beautiful appearance since she was a child, fresh and refined.
At the age of thirteen, he was elected to the palace, and at the age of sixteen, he was favored by the current Shengshang Qinglong Emperor. The grace continued, and after two years, she became pregnant with twin sons.
This is the only concubine in the harem who is pregnant with twin sons since the founding of the country, especially when I heard that they are still two little princes.
Emperor Qinglong's heart was happy, and he was rewarded for a while.
Who knew that in the days when the two children were born, the Oriental Morning Star appeared in the colorful auspicious clouds, and it appeared for three days in a row.
Emperor Qinglong was shocked and hurriedly ordered the priest to deduce divination.
The priest pinched his fingers and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Your Majesty, this is a sign that the auspicious star has descended to earth, and God bless me Daqin! ”
When Qin Tianjian reported this matter to the court, all the ministers cheered that the Emperor of Great Qin was benevolent and sage, so he got this opportunity.
Emperor Qinglong listened to Longyan Dayue, and ordered Fang Shi to arrange the eight characters for the birthdays of the two newborn princes.
After Fang Shi deduced again, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live congratulations, the prince who was born when he was a child, his qualifications are mediocre; And the prince who was born at that time will be a hero among the people and a noble man admired by all the people in the future! ”
The ministers also followed and patted their ass, praising the peace of the people of my Great Qin Empire, which is a blessed holy land!
Emperor Qinglong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately promoted Zhou Hui from a noble person to a concubine, and was named Concubine Zhou's mother, and rewarded her father with gold, silver, jewelry, etc., and was promoted to the prefect of Jiangnan a few months later.
This incident once aroused the jealousy of the harem concubines, especially the queen. But they had no choice but to watch Zhou Hui being favored.
A year later, Zhou Hui was promoted to a concubine and enjoyed the treatment of one person and ten thousand people.
But the fifth prince who was born with auspiciousness and was regarded as the reincarnation of a real dragon is one year old, but he still can't climb, let alone walk on the ground. It wasn't until he was two years old that he learned to stand.
Zhou Hui was so anxious that she secretly invited several doctors in a row, and everyone said that the child was born mentally retarded and had no hope of recovery.
Zhou Hui didn't dare to tell the emperor the truth, but on the grounds that the child was weak and not suitable to meet outsiders, she trembled for two years.
In the past two years, she has been looking for famous doctors everywhere on the grounds that she is sick, seeking alchemists, and praying for blessings and disasters.
But a lot of money was spent, but the five princes were still demented and slow.
In the end, this matter somehow reached the ears of the queen, and she was always jealous, and she immediately ran to Emperor Qinglong and reported the matter to Emperor Qinglong.
When Emperor Qinglong heard this, he was furious, and he ordered someone to bring the two princes to him:
I saw that the five princes of Xiangrui, who had been identified since childhood, were hiding obscenely behind his mother, how stupid and stupid he was;
And the sixth prince was detained here, standing for too long, leaning on his brother, still sucking his fingers, staring at his father strangely without speaking.
To be honest, this is the second time that the sixth prince has been so close to his father since he can walk, and it is already very good that he has not been frightened by his father's cold majesty.
But the emperor didn't think so, he used several imperial doctors in a row to diagnose the pulse of the two children, in fact, the main thing was to see how the "chosen son" was?
After some looks, hearings, and questions, the doctors all shook their heads and knelt on the ground in silence.
It took a long time for a doctor to step forward and start carefully, saying that the two princes were too grand to be saints, and they couldn't bear so many blessings to be like this.
When the queen heard this, she immediately understood, she took the shelf of the grandmother, but her back was straighter than ever before: "Our fifth prince is the true son of heaven in the future, how can you talk nonsense here and ruin the emperor's reputation!" ”
Emperor Qinglong still didn't believe the facts in front of him, and only said that he would look at it in a few days. Who knew that a few days later, the five princes would still be like this.
This Qinglong Emperor's political achievements are not very good, but that face is worthy of the title of "Son of Heaven"!
At this time, he was embarrassed, and directly ordered Zhou Hui's mother and son to be sent into the cold palace, and from now on, they were not allowed to go out of the palace gate for half a step, so as not to laugh at others!
Then he ordered them to be stripped of the titles of concubine and prince, and no one was allowed to mention that he had two stupid sons. Seeing that the pleading was hopeless, Zhou Hui unwillingly made the last request, which was to let Emperor Qinglong give names to the two children.
"They're going to be a joke from now on!" After Emperor Qinglong finished speaking, he left heartlessly.
This incident affected many innocent lives, and even Zhou Hui's parents' family were convicted, and the He family was exiled to the frontier.
The door of Xiyuan was closed forever, and there were only two personal palace maids and two grandmothers left by Zhou Hui's side.
She was so anxious that she lay in bed for a few days and nights, but since she came to this deserted Xiyuan, none of the sisters who used to be very affectionate had come to visit her.
Even the parents, brothers and sisters seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no news.
However, this imperial doctor who often walks around in the cold palace is excellent, and thanks to his medical skills, Zhou Hui can survive until now.
It's a pity that until she was gone, she didn't know that her parents would be convicted of her, and she vaguely expected that her parents would come to save her from the sea of suffering.
