The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

The last emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and treacherous. In order to achieve immortality, he not only used a large amount of gold and silver to build a mausoleum for himself, but also forcibly recruited good people to serve as craftsmen for the construction of the mausoleum, which made the treasury empty and the Central Plains empty.

In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, the emperor Jingyou of the previous dynasty increased taxes many times, causing the people to live in poverty and sell their children for a living. In the last years of the Jing Dynasty, people were dissatisfied and righteous men rose up in various parts of the Central Plains. After a few years, the Jing Dynasty was overthrown and the Central Plains fell into chaos.

In this chaotic world that lasted for decades, Taizu of this dynasty started as a commoner. After rising up, he recruited soldiers and horses, fought everywhere, and established power. After years of fighting, he finally pacified the world and established a new dynasty, calling himself "Yan".

Twenty years have passed since Emperor Taizu of Yan established the capital in Bianjing. Emperor Taizu passed away ten years ago. The current emperor is the eldest son of Emperor Taizu's first wife. He is now thirty-seven years old and has been in power for ten years. He has taken control of the entire court and made the whole world peaceful and harmonious.

Dingbei Marquis Sheng Mingge was a meritorious official who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world. After Emperor Taizu and Bianjing established the Yan Dynasty, he was granted the title of a hereditary first-class marquis, second only to the dukes granted by Emperor Taizu's three brothers of different surnames. This shows that Dingbei Marquis Sheng Mingge was favored by the emperor and received great favor.

Sheng Mingge was of the same generation as Emperor Taizu. He passed away five years ago, and the title of Dingbei Marquis was inherited by his only son Sheng Tinghong. Before the current emperor ascended the throne, and even when he was not the crown prince, Sheng Tinghong was already the current companion.

Sheng Tinghong is the same age as the emperor. He was selected as the emperor's companion at the age of seven. He accompanied the emperor to study for eight years when Taizu was on the campaigns. When he was fifteen, he stopped living with the emperor because the prince entered the East Palace. However, the eight years of fighting and wandering with Taizu made Sheng Tinghong and the emperor have a deep relationship.

Sheng Tinghong is deeply favored and trusted by the emperor. He is the emperor's confidant minister. In addition to his super-rank title, he is also a first-rank minister in the cabinet. At the age of only 35, Sheng Tinghong is already quite eye-catching. He is actually the youngest among the cabinet ministers.

Don't think that Dingbei Hou Sheng Mingge is a military general, so it is very strange for Sheng Tinghong to enter the cabinet. In fact, although Sheng Mingge joined Taizu when he was a grassroots, he himself was not a grassroots commoner, but had a good background.

Sheng Mingge was originally a descendant of a scholarly family from the previous dynasty. The Sheng family offended Emperor Jingyou and brought disaster upon themselves. All the children were demoted and exiled to the northwest, which was considered a broken family. Sheng Mingge was rescued by Emperor Taizu of Yan in the northwest, and immediately joined Taizu loyally. He was loyal to Taizu all his life and was posthumously named "Wenzheng".

The Dingbei Marquis family followed Taizu to conquer the world and was one of the few civil servants among the founding heroes. The reputation of the Sheng family of the previous dynasty also helped Yan Dynasty recruit civil servants when it was first established. Therefore, it has always been appreciated by Taizu and the current emperor. In the 20 years since the founding of the country, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion has risen instead of falling.

0617, no, the main place where Lu Xiaoqi took on the second task was in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

The current wife of Dingbei Marquis Sheng Tinghong is the legitimate daughter of Duke Lu. Duke Lu Wang is a founding hero and the sworn brother of Taizu. He and Sheng Mingge served under Taizu before Taizu became famous. After Taizu established the country, they became in-laws and married his beloved youngest daughter to Sheng Tinghong.

Lu had two sons and one daughter. Now the eldest son Sheng Xiuyang is sixteen years old, the second son Sheng Xiuming is thirteen years old, and the eldest daughter Sheng Xuanhua is twelve years old. The person Lu Xiaoqi wants to fulfill his wish is the eldest daughter of Dingbei Marquis Sheng Xuanhua.

Speaking of which, Sheng Xuanhua has an outstanding status, her father is in a high position and is favored by the emperor, her maternal family is also a super-grade Duke Mansion, and she has two legitimate brothers to protect her. She really shouldn't have to make a deal with the Lord God, but unfortunately, this Miss Sheng Xuanhua Sheng is not very lucky.

Lu died of dystocia when giving birth to her, and a year later, Sheng Tinghong remarried a second wife. The second wife came from Shandong Liu family. Liu family was also a scholarly family in the previous dynasty. The difference was that Liu family only opened academies and accepted disciples. They never promoted officials and titles. They were only a family of clean scholars. They had a very good reputation among scholars and their students were all over the world.

After Liu married in, she had a cold relationship with Sheng Tinghong and only gave birth to a daughter, Sheng Minghua, who was nine years old this year. In addition to Sheng Minghua, Liu had no other children. She lived in seclusion in the main courtyard all year round. Although she managed the housework, she had no more contact with Sheng Tinghong. She was cold in nature and only liked to read. She often read books and had an average relationship with her step-sons and step-daughters.

Seeing this, I feel that the inner courtyard of the Sheng family is peaceful, right? In fact, it is not far from the truth. Generally speaking, the backyard of the Sheng family is indeed very peaceful. It’s just that in addition to Lu and Liu, the two wives who were married in a formal matchmaker, Sheng Tinghong also had concubines, and the one who caused Sheng Xuanhua to die unwillingly and was willing to exchange her soul for a new life was An Yi Niang from Taoxiangyuan.

Aunt An only had one daughter, Sheng Fanghua, who was also twelve years old, but a few months younger than Sheng Xuanhua, so she was only the second daughter. Aunt An was deeply loved by Sheng Tinghong, and Liu was indifferent and had an average relationship with Sheng Tinghong. Although Sheng Tinghong did not favor his concubine over his wife, Aunt An was indeed very popular in the mansion. Of course, no matter how favored she was, Aunt An did not dare to act rashly towards Liu.

Sheng Xuanhua and Sheng Fanghua were of similar age, and their relationship had been extremely bad since childhood. When they were young, they fought for toys and rewards, and when they grew up, they also fought for rouge, powder, and clothes. Because Sheng Xuanhua was domineering and straightforward, but Sheng Fanghua was used to pretending to be weak, it would be fine if things did not get out of hand, but if they did, Sheng Tinghong would think that Sheng Xuanhua was making trouble and deliberately bullying his sister seven or eight times out of ten.

However, she was the eldest legitimate daughter, and Sheng Tinghong felt sorry for her because she lost her mother when she was young. Even though he thought she was overbearing, he rarely scolded her. However, Sheng Tinghong was busy with official duties, and he had to teach his two legitimate sons. He didn't spend much time with Sheng Xuanhua on weekdays. He felt guilty and pitiful for this daughter, but he didn't love her, let alone have time to educate her carefully.

Sheng Xuanhua's legitimate mother died when she was young. Her stepmother was indifferent to her own daughter, let alone educate her. She grew up unrestrained and had no elders to teach her virtue and appearance. In addition, she thought she had the support of her two brothers and her maternal grandparents. She had a bad temper and was very overbearing since she was a child. She was always at a disadvantage when facing the An concubine and her daughter who were used to pretending to be weak.

But Sheng Xuanhua probably didn't expect that Sheng Fanghua, who had been snatching things from her since she was a child, would dare to snatch her husband when she grew up - the second legitimate son of the emperor, the prince Rui, who was very beloved by the emperor. In order to prevent Sheng Xuanhua from becoming the Princess of Rui, Sheng Fanghua teamed up with Aunt An to plot a cruel plan, scheming that Sheng Xuanhua and the eldest son of the emperor would live together in a disheveled state.

The eldest prince had already married, but Sheng Xuanhua had lost her reputation, so she could only be named the eldest prince's concubine and sent to the palace. She was the eldest daughter of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion, and her maternal family was the Duke of Lu. She had an outstanding and noble status, but in the end she was made a concubine, and only the eldest prince who was made a concubine of the county king!

Because Sheng Xuanhua had no shame and secretly met with a man outside, her marriage to the King of Rui was naturally annulled. But the eldest prince and the second prince (eldest son) and the third prince were enemies for the position of crown prince. Sheng Xuanhua was like marrying into a wolf's den. Not only would the eldest prince not trust her or treat her well, but the Sheng family would also give up on her.

After all, it is impossible for the Dingbei Marquisate to go against the emperor's will and join the eldest prince just to have a daughter who would bring disgrace to the family and ruin the family's reputation. Three months later, Sheng Xuanhua died with the eldest prince. She was tortured before her death and regretted that she was not prepared to be framed by Aunt An and Sheng Fanghua.

Sheng Xuanhua's wish was very simple, that is, not to be calculated by Aunt An and Sheng Fanghua, and to marry the King Rui as the Princess of Rui smoothly. In addition, she also hoped to get rid of Aunt An and Sheng Fanghua, and it would be best to let Sheng Fanghua become the concubine of the eldest prince - yes, not even the side room, and then let Sheng Fanghua be humiliated to death by the eldest prince.

"Ah... This wish is okay, it's just revenge." After reading the wish left by Sheng Xuanhua, Lu Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and put down a big stone in his heart.

She was really afraid that she would run into the original owner who made a weird wish again. In the last world, the original owner made a wish - she wanted to become a popular person, to get the love of the male protagonist and the male supporting roles No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, and then dump them and torture them to make them doubt their lives. This task took her a long time to complete, and finally she had to owe the main god points before she could forcibly leave that world.

There was no way, is Lu Xiaoqi a person who can capture people? She completely offended the male protagonist on the first day she entered the mission world, and was almost hunted to death by the male protagonist. What's the point of getting the male protagonist's love? This weird task caused great harm to Lu Xiaoqi. Since then, Lu Xiaoqi has really had a psychological shadow on the original owner's wish.

"Sheng Xuanhua is only twelve years old this year. She still has several years to go before she reaches the age of marriage and is engaged to Prince Rui." Lu Xiaoqi muttered to herself for a few words, then clenched her fist and said excitedly, "Okay, I have to work hard to complete the task next. First, I have to turn around Sheng Xuanhua's image!"

Lu Xiaoqi was about to greet the original owner's father, Dingbei Marquis Sheng Tinghong, or stepmother Liu, and meet them first, but suddenly froze for a moment, grinning as if she had a toothache: "Wait, there is a lot of information about the marquis family in Sheng Xuanhua's memory, I'd better sort it out first."

Although she used to be a system, it doesn't mean that she has a good memory. She can only read the information in the system database at any time, but she can't remember who is who immediately. But it's very troublesome to find information from the original owner's memory every time. The best way is to sort out a character relationship table first, and then just look at this table.

"Come here, prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me." Lu Xiaoqi called out, and touched the Shu brocade dress with a fiery color and exquisite embroidery. Lu Xiaoqi couldn't help but sigh, "Ancient clothes are beautiful, but a little troublesome. Well, I still prefer modern ones..." There are a lot of desserts to eat!

While Lu Xiaoqi was digesting the plot and the original owner's memory, Xuanyuan also woke up in Sheng Tinghong's study. He was sitting on the large carved mahogany chair behind the desk, with several documents in front of him. It seems that the original owner was a little tired in the afternoon, and he leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

However, in just a short while, Sheng Tinghong was replaced by Xuanyuan-of course, when Xuanyuan left, he would return his body to him.

While checking the original owner's memory, the attendant's low voice came from the door of the study: "Master, Aunt An sent the tonic soup, do you want to bring it in?"
