Chapter 1
After the prince of the enemy country named me for marriage.
Empress Huang, who has always trampled on me, is indignant.
On the day of my wedding, she locked me up in the warehouse in the backyard and married me as a queen.
I didn't expect her to stay alone in an empty room for a lifetime. As Shao Yan grew old, she could only show off to the mirror.
And I took over her identity, living a lively and joyful life.
Reviving my life, Empress Huang decided to exchange lives with me.
"It's your turn to be an old woman that no one will ever see in your life!"
She didn't know that the enemy prince was my boyfriend.
This is not an exchange life.
It's releasing tigers back to the mountains.
"Princess, absolutely not Princess!"
"You scratched this person's arm last time, and the emperor ordered you to stay grounded for two whole days!"
"And... this person is going to marry far away tomorrow. The wedding date has been set, so there shouldn't be any more accidents!"
I slowly woke up from chaos, feeling pain in every part of my body.
Not far away, several eunuchs and palace maids surrounded a goose yellow butterfly like figure to persuade.
"This princess is the only legitimate daughter of the empress, and she can be compared to anything else. She..." Xiao Wu pointed her hand at me in the distance, but inadvertently met my gaze.
In that moment, the face as beautiful as a flower began to collapse.
A sense of aging and fatigue emanates from the soul.
Xiao Wu tilted her head and walked towards me, excluding the servants.
She patted my face and pressed my hand hard with the soles of her feet, saying, "Xiao Shen, you treat me so well that you made me live again. You little slut really don't have that good luck."
Ten fingers connected to my heart, my whole body trembled with pain, and I couldn't help but scream.
Xiao Wu then withdrew her foot with satisfaction and looked at me coldly, "Someone, please give me her other hand."
The eunuch following behind her came up and gave her a expectant glance.
"What are you looking at me for? Will Father still punish me for this?" She muttered, "Forget it, I don't want to see her today."
Xiao Wu's mood was good, her footsteps were light, and she walked away.
I lay on the ground, my throat dry, and I chuckled softly twice.
It seems that both of us have been reborn.
Xiao Wu and I are the only two princesses of the Qiang Kingdom.
Just before we were born, Qiang was still the largest country in the four seas of Kyushu.
At that time, when my father had just ascended to the throne, the Qiang Kingdom was strong in arms, strong in horses, and had a long and prosperous life, presenting a scene of singing, dancing, and leveling up.
Known as the 'number one port in the world', Lihai Port has supported trade exchanges between half of the Qiang countries, and people from neighboring countries who visit are all amazed by China's wealth and stability.
According to my older brother's words.
The decline of the Qiang Kingdom began after I was born.
That year, Xiao Wu was two years old.
The emperor who drank too much at the Yuanri Palace banquet was fortunate to have a woman outside the palace.
After giving birth, the woman committed suicide.
My background is well-known and everyone is not ashamed. Fortunately, the emperor's lineage is rare, and because I have been obedient and sensible since I was young, the emperor occasionally remembers me, so as not to be bullied to death.
It was also that year.
The Jiang Kingdom, which is not far from us, is in turmoil. The old emperor is still alive, but the situation of the five sons seizing the throne has already emerged.
The joining of multiple forces has turned the entire situation into a muddy water, even involving neighboring countries.
It will be eight years since the war situation stabilizes.
This war ended with the Qiang Empire ceding a small portion of its territory with the Li Hai Port as the dividing line.
At this point, Jiang Guocheng became the largest country.
The Qiang Kingdom became the largest vassal state of the Jiang Kingdom, and each year it had to pay tribute to the other with countless cows, sheep, silver taels, and treasures.
Chapter 2
It's night.
Father, I don't know where I heard about what happened during the day, so I and Xiao Wu went to the imperial study.
When I hurried there, Xiao Wu was already lying on her father's lap crying.
At a glance, I was almost dazzled by her.
Xiao Wu's head was covered in emerald pearls, like a decorated flower basket, with just a few dozen hairpins swaying and roughly counting.
When I last saw the emerald red golden phoenix thread pearl step and the burnt blue hollow golden wing step, they were still in the treasury.
As for what others wear, it is even more magnificent.
Father, it was difficult for him to find comfort in this beautiful flower cluster for a while.
Seeing me coming, he seemed to have found a gap and shouted loudly, "Kneel down!"
I stood still, but didn't kneel.
"I dare to ask my father, what mistake did my courtiers make to kneel down?"
The father became angry, and the figure in a yellow robe gasped heavily. His left hand shook the table and a pile of things fell down: "Unfair daughter! You've made your sister so sad, how dare you even confront your elders!"
I shook my arms, revealing bruises all over my hands. "Today, my sister caused trouble in the imperial garden for no reason, causing the eunuch to step on my finger and break it. I dare to ask why my sister is sad?"
Father Emperor coughed twice in front of Xiao Wu's guilty gaze.
"Alright, your sister didn't mean to. Now that your hand is injured, isn't she crying so sadly? Let her stay in her palace for two days, and let this matter go."
I sneered and didn't speak.
As soon as I left the study, I heard Xiao Wu coquettishly say, "Father, my younger sister is so angry that she won't take action against me after marrying into the Jiang Parliament. Otherwise, tomorrow we will get married together and I will marry the Grand Tutor..."
I don't know what my father said, but the two of them laughed.
On the way back, I couldn't help but think of Xiang Weixing.
That was something from a previous life.
Xiao Wu, like me, has only heard about the past prosperity and prosperity of the Qiang Kingdom from her mother and elder brother since I remember it.
What is the joy of peace and tranquility in the court and the fields, what is the misty rain of a thousand families with golden powder, what is the way of Emperor Fu, and what is the degree of the King of Gold and Jade.
She has only heard of it in the mouths of her mother and older brother.
I've heard that Xiao Wu has no concept.
Because she has no concept, she cannot truly identify with the past from the bottom of her heart.
So when the envoy from the state of Jiang came to court and said that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to marry me as the Empress Dowager.
The courtiers felt it was a humiliation.
Xiao Wu felt that she was climbing high.
She thinks I don't deserve it.
So Xiao Wu locked me up in the warehouse and married Jiang Guo on my behalf.
I have become the only princess of the Qiang Kingdom.
Her former fianc é naturally belongs to me.
Xiangwei Xing is a gentle and courteous person.
Yushu Zhilan is like precious gold and beautiful jade.
In the previous life, after being engaged, Xiao Wu repeatedly said in front of others that he was too uninteresting and not the kind person in her heart.
She was indeed not wrong.
Xiangwei Xing has been immersed in the study since childhood, almost every inch of his body adhering to the words of the sage, without any excessive indulgence.
But he is not a pedant.
The second year of marriage.
I am tired of the days of managing accounts in the backyard, and in front of his good temper day after day, I propose to study and open a folk women's school.
The flickering shadows of the lights at night reflect his tall and upright body like a green pine.
Xiang Weixing put down his pen and looked at me, saying, "Qing Qing, if you want to open it, then open it."
Afterwards, he became my companion.
In the fifth year of our marriage, the women's school achieved initial results, and together with me, Xiang Weixing advised my father to establish a female education system.
In the seventh year of marriage, the first woman of the fifth rank to be officially worshipped appeared in the court of the Qiang state.
As the path of women's imperial examinations became wider, the other half of the population gradually joined in more effective labor production. The economic development of Qiang country is thriving, and there is already a sign of prosperity.
In the ninth year of his marriage, the father received a letter from Jiang Guolai.
The letter states.
Xiao Wu arrived at the Palace of the Kingdom of Jiang and happily got off the car.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince let out a long sigh and said many things that she didn't understand at first sight.
Just like dealing with the exotic beasts presented, she was placed in a beautiful courtyard and couldn't step out for nine years.
She received no news, nor did she see anyone, only a few silent female slaves who came and went in the courtyard every day.
Nervousness, unease, suspicion, and fear are constantly tormenting her.
Before she ran out of oil and ran out of lights, she exhausted all means to write a secret letter and sent it to the Qiang Kingdom.
I was beheaded in public under the pretext of harming my fellow countrymen.
Before the execution, Xiangwei Xing came to see me in prison and said he should have stopped me from starting a girls' school nine years ago.
I said after you leave, it's nothing more than not avoiding it.
Xiangwei Xing reads more books than I do.
He has been immersed in books since he could read, with ink starting from his hair and soaking into his bones and blood.
He understands these principles better than I do.
But when he left, his head was still disheveled and he looked crazy.
