The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

"This is something they took at the expense of their lives, and I will always guard it." Xiao Shao said in a deep voice.

"They" refers to Prince Hongxi and Xiang Xiaoyuan, or King Jinying and his wife. These two couples are Xiao Shao's biological parents and Xiao Shao's adoptive parents, but they both love him equally. Xiao Shao's words are true, even if he didn't come to sit on the country that his closest relatives bought with their lives, he still doesn't want it to decline and be invaded by outsiders.

"Do you hate him?" Jiang Ruan asked. She was talking about the emperor, if it wasn't for the emperor, nothing would happen to Xiang Xiaoyuan back then, and Prince Hongxi wouldn't have gone out of the customs in a disheartened mood to quell the chaos. If it weren't for the emperor, Xiao Shao's life experience would always be a secret, and he might just be Prince Xiao of the Jinying Palace, just a young man with a slightly cold temper. King Jinying and his wife may still be alive.

"It's not important." Xiao Shao replied.

Jiang Ruan paused slightly, and then smiled: "In this way, you are somewhat similar to me. At first I thought I was not good enough for you, but now I also feel... It seems that it is not so bad. You once said I hope you can help me avenge you, Ah Shao, I have also recorded your revenge for you."

On rare occasions when she called Xiao Shao "A Shao" gently, Xiao Shao was stunned and said "um" in a low voice. Jiang Ruan intentionally wanted to teach him not to immerse himself in those memories so heavily, and said: "In that case, Housekeeper Lin is probably not an ordinary person. He is your father's... old subordinate?"

"He was originally a Tanhua from the previous dynasty." Xiao Shao said: "After my father passed away, he entered the Jinying Palace as a housekeeper, hiding his name."

Jiang Ruan was surprised: "Tanhua?"

Speaking of which, Steward Lin's original name was Lin Wei, he came from a poor family, and was appreciated by Prince Hongxi, who spent money to help him enter the Imperial College. Tanhualang, a young man, is personable, a young man in rich clothes, and once angry with a horse in fresh clothes, he is even more close to Prince Hongxi at that time. Prince Hongxi entrusted Xiao Shao to King Jinying before his death. At that time, Wei Lin’s family had no relatives, so he even cut off his official career. The face-changing potion prepared by Mr. Qi turned into Lin Butler, taking care of Xiao Shao all the time. For so many years, he seemed unreliable, but he silently helped Xiao Shao with many things many times. Where King Jinying and his wife were negligent, Butler Lin was very cautious. He has a lot of knowledge, but he has to pretend to be vulgar and ignorant. No one would associate the crazy, vulgar and vulgar person in front of him with the handsome Tanhualang from the previous dynasty. Steward Lin used his own method to secretly protect Xiao Shao and teach Xiao Shao. Such a person cannot but be said to have great benevolence, righteousness and great wisdom.

In a blink of an eye, the annual royal hunting day came. Taking advantage of the days before New Year's Eve, the royal family also wanted to win a prize, so they went to the hunting grounds to hunt. All the ministers of honorable children have to participate, and it is also to dispel the evil spirits of the year and relax.

The hunting ground is in Beiguanglin, where there are high mountains and valleys, and the terrain is complex, but there are many rare birds and animals. It is a rare challenge for these children of wealthy and official families. This time it was even more lively than ever.

Jiang Dan managed to persuade the emperor to take her to go with him. The maids in the palace chose clothes for her early on this day, because she was already a concubine and not a daughter of a noble family, so she couldn't wear bright clothes like them. riding outfit. At the end, Jiang Dan looked at the woman in the mirror, and finally took off the pearl-encrusted hairpin with some annoyance, and said, "What? This hairpin looks too old-fashioned." After a while, you just think I should wear something like this?"

The maid was startled, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy. In fact, there is nothing wrong with that hairpin, and it is often used among the female relatives in the palace. The color of this one is very good, and it was rewarded because the emperor loves her very much now. Jiang Dan was a little anxious, and turned over the dressing box by himself, only to see the pearls and emerald enamel in the dressing box, and was very dissatisfied. Unlike Jiang Li, although Jiang Dan pursues a high status, he is not as vulgar as she is to hang rich and expensive things on his body. She valued and cared for her youthful beauty. Now, as the emperor's concubine, she must always pay attention to her identity, and cannot dress up like a young girl. Sometimes she even felt that the little maids around her looked younger than her.

Entering the palace, living with an older man who can be his own father, competing with all kinds of women for this man's favor, and even more so, dressing himself up as older than his peers. Why, she is clearly the same age as Hua. Her eyes fell on a bright red velvet flower in the dressing box, and she suddenly thought of Jiang Ruanlai.

She is also the daughter of Jiang's family, but Jiang Ruan can wear whatever clothes she wants without worrying about being inappropriate. Even though she is also a wife of the first rank and Princess Jinying, she can still dress like other young girls. Children generally dress up, because Xiao Shao doesn't mind these at all. Not only that, but Xiao Shao is also much younger than the emperor. He is just the right age and handsome. Why is Jiang Ruan so lucky? Even though she was pushed into a desperate situation by Xia Yan, she was lucky enough to turn around, but she could only sell her youth and freedom in exchange for a temporary superiority. Not only that, all the wealth and honor in front of him are like the moon in a mirror in the water, which may disappear at any time.

"Your Majesty...?" Seeing that she had not spoken for a long time, the palace maid looked a bit hideous, she was a little scared for a moment, and reminded her aloud.

Jiang Dan came back to her senses, and slowly held the big red velvet flower tightly in her hands. She was so strong that she almost crushed the petals, but a weird smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It doesn't matter, no matter what, everything is about to end. After this incident is over, the daughter of the Jiang family will be left alone, and nothing in this world can threaten her anymore. She will always be a high-ranking person.

...

In Prince Jinying's mansion, Jiang Ruan felt a little headache looking at the bulging baggage in front of him, so he had to take a look at Xiao Shao, but Xiao Shao turned his head away unintentionally, obviously pretending not to see her hint.

Butler Lin was still chattering: "Princess, this is the pastry and sweet-scented osmanthus wine specially prepared by the old slave in the kitchen. You young couples are both young people. This is the first time you go out for a serious outing like this. You should also prepare some food. The food is good. However, I am afraid that the concubine will drink too much wine, so I have prepared some hangover soup. I added a little honey in it, and it will not be difficult to drink, and the taste is sweet and long. It will be available at that time. The old slave has already asked someone to carry the kite to the carriage. Playing the kite in the wild is also an elegant thing. Wait, there are some medicines, cough, ah, think about it, the old slave If there is anything that hasn’t been moved up, maybe we should make some things for camping, how about a candlestick? It looks good when it’s lit at night.”
