Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne
Chapter 1 Rebirth and Exchange of Marriage
When the elder sister woke up from the water, she begged her mother to let Shen Zhinian take her place in the imperial palace selection, and she would marry her father's poor student. Shen Zhinian then knew that the elder sister had also been reborn.
In their previous life, Shen Zhinian and Shen Nanqiao were both of marriageable age, which coincided with the emperor's triennial beauty contest.
Only the daughters of officials of the fifth rank and above were eligible for the selection. The Shen family was only a sixth rank official in the Ministry of Justice and was originally not eligible to participate.
However, the Ministry of Justice had just solved a shocking case in the capital, and Shen's father had made great contributions, so the emperor rewarded him generously, and the Shen family was given a spot as an exception.
Such enormous wealth would certainly not fall into the hands of a concubine's daughter like Shen Zhinian. The one who entered the palace to participate in the selection was her elder sister Shen Nanqiao.
Shen Zhinian was married off by her father to his poor student.
Shen Nanqiao successfully passed the audition, and because she accidentally wore the emperor's favorite color, she was made an exception and was promoted to a fifth-rank noble lady without even having to sleep with the emperor.
For a time, Shen Nanqiao was in high spirits and became the glory of the entire Shen family!
But who knows...
Shen Nanqiao boasted of her noble character and her indifference to the emperor. When other concubines competed for his favor, she said, "Women in the harem will do anything to climb up the social ladder. Even if you tell me their schemes, I will not do them."
When someone wrongly accused her of pushing a concubine down the stairs, she did not open her mouth to explain, but only said: "The innocent are innocent, and I, a concubine, have no right to defend myself."
The emperor was fed up with her false nobleness. She did not know how to win back his heart, but pouted: "This noble lady is not what I want to be. I am only disappointed in Your Majesty."
The emperor, who was high and mighty, had always been flattered by his concubines. How could he condescend to please her? Shen Nanqiao completely fell out of favor.
Those who she had offended in the past began to add insult to injury. Shen Nanqiao's life became more and more miserable, and in the end, the imperial concubine found an excuse and framed her to death.
After Shen Zhinian married her father's poor disciple, Lu Jianglin worked harder and finally won the top three places in the imperial examinations, becoming the new top scholar. He was valued by the emperor and entered the Hanlin Academy as a compiler.
Only Jinshi can enter the Hanlin Academy, and only Hanlin can enter the Cabinet.
Since ancient times, all the senior officials and frontier governors came from the Hanlin Academy. This place is known as the "place for prime ministers", and its value can be imagined!
As expected, after being gilded in the Hanlin Academy, Lu Jianglin's career was prosperous and he rose rapidly. He was first appointed as an editor of the Hanlin Academy, then became a university scholar, and finally became a marquis and prime minister, becoming the head of all officials!
He loved his first wife deeply, and every time he was promoted, the first thing he did was to ask for an imperial decree for Shen Zhinian.
She followed him all the way and became the youngest first-rank lady of the dynasty, enjoying great glory and honor!
Shen Nanqiao had been sent to the cold palace because of the imperial concubine's frame-up, and could only survive by snatching rotten food from the lunatics in the palace. But every day she heard the guards in the palace say that her concubine's sister was loved by her husband and enjoyed all the glory!
Shen Nanqiao suffered a great blow, his health deteriorated and he died tragically not long after.
Shen Zhinian thought of the sisterhood and wanted to use her current status to rescue her elder sister. But before she could act, she heard the news and she was exhausted.
When Shen Zhinian opened his eyes again, he was still stunned by his rebirth, and saw Shen Nanqiao kneeling in the middle of the flower hall, saying righteously: "Dad, Mom, I don't want to be greedy for fame and fortune. I'd better give such a good opportunity in the talent show to my sister, and let me marry Lu Jianglin!"
Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Shen were so angry that they scolded her for making trouble!
Shen Zhinian, who was sitting below, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that his elder sister was also reborn.
Nanny Lin stood behind Shen Zhinian, not caring about hierarchy, wiping her tears and whispering to herself that she was injustice for her.
"Second Miss, although the Lu family is poor, Mr. Lu is talented and has already obtained the title of scholar. He is the most outstanding student of the master and has unlimited potential. The most important thing is that the family is simple, with only a widowed mother and a young sister. Once you marry him, you will be the head of the family and your future life will be comfortable and happy."
"But the palace is a place where people are taken advantage of. There are so many concubines with prominent family backgrounds. The daughter of the Shen family has no one to rely on. How can she fight against them after entering the palace?"
"The eldest daughter is a legitimate daughter, and all the good things in the mansion are hers. Why is she trying to take away your only way out?"
Shen Zhinian took in Shen Nanqiao's determined look and gave Nanny Lin a reassuring smile.
"It doesn't matter."
Since the eldest elder sister has no regard for sisterly love, the first thing she does after her rebirth is to snatch away her glorious life, then let her do it.
She gave it to her.
Shen Nanqiao will know in the future that the Lu family is the real den of tigers and wolves!
In her previous life, she was able to become a first-rank lady not because of Lu Jianglin’s help, but because she always kept her destiny in her own hands!
Although Lu Jianglin had some talent, he was ambitious. It was only because of her hard work and running around for him that he was able to reach the highest position in the country and be granted the title of nobility and appointed as prime minister.
The so-called simple population actually refers to a mean mother-in-law and a difficult sister-in-law.
What's more, the mother-in-law...
After Shen Nanqiao gets married and discovers the secret, I wonder if she will still think that this is the best marriage?
The wet nurse said that entering the palace was not a good idea, but Shen Zhinian felt that it was the real good way out!
Her aunt was a commoner woman, but she was very beautiful, so she was favored by her father.
Originally, even though the aunt was born in a humble family, she did not want to be a concubine and have to look at the mistress's face every day. It was only because of her father's sweet talk and promise that he would never let her down that the aunt was willing to be carried into the Shen family in a sedan chair.
Who would have thought that after my aunt survived many dangerous situations and gave birth to a child for my father, my father disliked her because of her out of shape figure due to pregnancy, and soon took a new concubine and forgot about her.
My aunt was devastated by this and eventually died of depression.
Shen Zhinian has understood since childhood that a man’s promise and love are the most unreliable. Only the wealth and power in one’s hands are real!
The most magnificent treasures in the world are all in the palace.
Which man can be more glorious to marry than marrying the emperor?
In the previous life, the queen died of illness in the second year after Shen Nanqiao entered the palace. In order to fight for the position of queen, the harem was in a bloody storm!
In this life, although Shen Zhinian was born in a humble family, with her beauty and means, she might be able to compete for the throne!
All she wanted in her life was wealth and glory, not a trace of true love. Wasn't it better to be a glorious and honorable concubine than to marry that loser Lu Jianglin?
A dark light flashed in Zhou's eyes, and she kept observing Shen Zhinian's reaction.
This concubine's daughter has been well-behaved since she was young, but who knows if she would covet the wealth that belongs to Nan Qiao for the opportunity to enter the palace as a concubine!
If Shen Zhinian dares to show any joy, she will make the other party recognize her identity!
Shen Zhinian certainly understood that Shen Nanqiao could say in a high-sounding manner that he wanted to marry her in exchange for marriage, but she could not readily agree.
Otherwise, in the eyes of my stepmother and father, I would be considered as being ambitious and coveting things that do not belong to me. How could I have a good ending?
So, Shen Zhinian stayed huddled in the chair, listening to Shen Nanqiao's crying and the scolding from his father and stepmother, with a look of panic on his face.
She is afraid.
Hehehehe...she is pretending.
