Time travel is risky, and love requires caution
Chapter 19: Rich people have short ambitions and money makes them lose their minds
Recently, Ling Qiqi has been listless and sad.
Although she had received many rewards from the emperor, and other concubines in the palace had also given her gifts to curry favor with her, silks, satins, and ornaments filled up the entire room, but she felt that none of them were as practical as gold.
She spent all day thinking about how to cash in.
But the biggest problem was that she couldn't leave the palace, and even if she made cash, she had no place to spend it.
People are so unsatisfied. They no longer worry about the present and begin to yearn for poetry and distant places.
Ling Qiqi is not that elegant and refined, she is just vulgar. She simply wants to have a funded travel or business trip or something.
After all, in the real world, poetry and distant places are too expensive, and the stars and the sea charge a fee.
So, when she went to the martial arts arena, she always pulled Lu Cheng to ask about what was happening outside the palace.
But Lu Cheng always discouraged her, telling her not to ask questions unless necessary, to stay quietly in the palace and not to cause trouble outside.
Tsk, people can’t even have dreams anymore.
Ling Qiqi felt that Lu Cheng was doing a pretty good job as a hostage, so good that he dared to act disrespectfully with her, the popular Seventh Princess.
She felt it was necessary to remind Lu Cheng of his current status. Don't forget that he was sent here as a hostage because his horoscope was bad for his parents and it was not suitable for them to be kept by their side.
A hostage is actually an abandoned child who has lost the right to inherit the throne. The most he can stay here is to be a royal consort.
Her princess sisters either have bad personalities, bad looks, or both. Humph, any of them are enough to disgust him for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, after listening to her, Lu Cheng was not angry at all, but kindly reminded her that at least he knew where her second half of life would go, while she was destined to get married and she didn't know where she would be disgusted by whom in the second half of her life.
Ling Qiqi was very unhappy with Lu Cheng's criticism because she felt he was right.
Lu Cheng's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Ling Qiqi's head, chilling her to the core.
She felt that the life she traveled through was bright a few days ago, but now she suddenly feels uncertain about the future and is worried.
Therefore, Ling Qiqi conducted a deep self-examination on her previous life of being short-sighted and blinded by money.
She only saw the thief eating the meat, but didn't see the thief being beaten. So she must always remember in the future: sooner or later, you will have to pay for your misdeeds. She can't just think about eating the meat, but also be highly vigilant about getting beaten.
You should work as much as you are paid. In the HR circle, this is called the "pay according to work" principle, and in the legal circle, this is called the "rights and obligations are consistent" principle.
Ling Qiqi had read somewhere that the so-called "princess" could not make decisions on important life events such as wedding ceremonies, and the decisions had to be made by the "lords".
To put it bluntly, the princess is the bond of international political marriages. But since it is a bond, if it is tied well, both ends will be happy. If it is not tied well, it will break at any time and she will become a rotten rope that is discarded.
Ling Qiqi was open-minded about this. A woman could be abandoned at any time, but as long as she was not financially dependent and spiritually independent, she could be the one who abandoned others.
So, she wasn't afraid of getting married. It was just a matter of getting married with the parents' permission, with equal status and mutual needs. It wasn't a big deal. As long as she didn't have too many expectations for marriage and didn't have too many fantasies about men, it would be fine.
In comparison, Ling Qiqi feels that marrying for the development of the ethnic group may be more noble and pragmatic than marrying for personal love.
What's more, in modern society, there are many people who have free love and autonomous marriage, but their lives are still a mess.
What makes Ling Qiqi unable to overcome her psychological barriers is that she has been influenced by modern views on marriage for many years and cannot accept and even wants to maintain such a disgusting polygamous marriage relationship.
She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and castrate the scumbag. Just thinking about that scene made her feel sorry for the scumbag.
What's more, she is obsessed with looks, and her values are determined by her appearance. What if she is asked to marry someone who is old and ugly?
No, no, if that's the case, she'd rather not be a princess.
So for the sake of her own physical and mental health, as well as the scumbag's physical health, she came up with a new goal in life: to leave the palace, not to travel at public expense, but to escape at her own expense.
So she had to start working hard to save money. A poor family can make a fortune on the road, especially when on the run, the more money the better.
In her studies, she must start to work hard and strive for excellence.
She had to study hard, especially about geography and humanities, so as to plan the best escape route and place to hide.
She also wants to study acupuncture seriously and acquire a skill to lay a good professional foundation for opening an acupuncture clinic under a pseudonym.
She also needs to learn horse riding seriously and ride fast.
Fortunately, she is six years old now, and it is less than ten years before she reaches the age of 15. It is not too late and she still has time to prepare.
When she successfully left the palace, she traveled around, and when she was tired of playing, she bought a house and land and hired eight servants to serve her.
Hahahaha...just thinking about it made her feel hopeful again.
She told Lu Cheng about her plan, but unexpectedly Lu Cheng poured cold water on her:
Do you know what the world is like outside? Do you know what the prices are like outside? With your IQ, instead of wasting your energy on it, you might as well think about who you can marry. It would be best if the groom dies that night after you get married, so that you can become a widow and inherit the estate.
Ling Qiqi was a little depressed. Why didn't she think of such a shortcut?
Ling Qiqi absorbed Lu Cheng's valuable advice and decided to make preparations for both scenarios.
So Ling Qiqi began to implement her plan of studying seriously. She no longer dozed off during cultural classes, and did not skip acupuncture classes. This moved Imperial Tutor Feng and Imperial Physician Du to tears. Only Du Jingshan remained unmoved, as he felt that the Seventh Princess might be up to something bad again.
Time suddenly flew by quickly again. Three years passed and another three years passed. In the blink of an eye, Ling Qiqi was nine years old.
During these three years, a new group of beautiful girls were brought in, two of them became pregnant, and then gave birth to princes one after another.
Ling Qiqi thought it was quite interesting. Before, there was not a single prince who could play mahjong, but now there are enough princes to play mahjong for a whole table.
The Empress Dowager has aged a lot in the past two years and her health is not as good as before.
Ling Qiqi still had a lot of feelings for the Grand Empress Dowager. She had always doted on her and never let Ling Qiqi suffer any grievances. It is said that the love between generations is shared by the people. She and the Grand Empress Dowager were two generations apart, so the love she received was twice as much. She had what other princesses had, and she also had what other princesses didn't have.
Ling Qiqi was also truly filial to the Grand Empress Dowager. She hoped that she would be healthy and stay with her for a few more years. She actually regarded the Grand Empress Dowager as her own grandmother. Her grandmother died suddenly of a heart attack. Although her grandmother did not experience any pain when she left, such a sudden departure left Ling Qiqi with many regrets, so she made up for these regrets on the Grand Empress Dowager.
The eldest princess and the second princess have both passed the age of coming of age and have been granted marriages by their father, the emperor. They will be going to marry in neighboring countries in a while.
After the Northern Wei Dynasty settled down, in order to stop the war and let the people rest and recuperate, it always adopted the policy of making friends with distant countries and defending nearby countries, and separating from the strong and uniting with the weak in diplomacy, so the princesses' fate was to marry. However, the foreign countries where the eldest and second princesses married were not only weak, but also thousands of miles away. I am afraid that they will never meet again.
