Not convinced? My princess has explosives
Chapter 5 What a Bullshit Engagement
No longer paying attention to Xiao Miaoyin, Xiao Shuyao recalled the original owner's memory.
Well... yes, that's what happened. Before the original owner was born, his mother was with Concubine Xian.
That is to say, the third prince's mother was engaged.
The virtuous concubine is the emperor's most beloved concubine, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, Sun Yanran.
Rumor has it that this legitimate daughter secretly left home for a trip without telling her family and met Zeng Yelin, who was a prince at the time.
She was attracted by the handsome and elegant Zeng Yelin and would not marry anyone else.
Zeng Yelin did not initially participate in the fight for the throne.
But he was extremely intelligent even when he was young, and he knew when to act and when to retreat in everything, so the late emperor thought highly of him.
This also led to him becoming a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many people.
The late emperor had four princes in total, and Zeng Yelin was the second prince. When he grew up, he was conferred the title of Prince Duan, granted a prince's palace, and married the girl he loved as his principal wife.
She was the daughter of Marquis Dingwu and the most talented woman in Xuanwu State at that time, Liu Shanshan, who was both beautiful and intelligent.
After they got married, they loved each other very much and became a legend in Xuanwu Kingdom.
Liu Shanshan is also a remarkable woman. Influenced by Marquis Dingwu, she is proficient in both civil and military affairs, and is very lively and kind.
The late emperor had no intention of hiding his love for the two. So the eldest prince Zeng Yehao and the third prince Zeng Yeyu tried every means to get rid of Zeng Yelin.
The fourth prince Zeng Yexuan at the time supported Zeng Yelin in seizing the throne and fully supported Zeng Yelin.
The two have always supported each other. Zeng Yexuan's biological mother was a maid in the harem. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was favored by the late emperor and gave birth to Zeng Yexuan.
Later, news spread that the palace maid was in poor health and she died soon after.
Everyone in the palace looked down on Zeng Yexuan, so no matter whether they were the masters or the palace maids and eunuchs, they always bullied him.
Then, Zeng Yelin, who was only four years old, saw him being bullied and protected him. He also brought him to his mother to grow up together.
So their relationship was very deep. Later, Zeng Yehao was assassinated on his way to provide disaster relief. Zeng Yeyu failed in his attempt to usurp the throne and was stabbed to death. Zeng Yelin succeeded to the throne.
During Zeng Yelin's planning, the Minister of State Sun Quan approached Zeng Yelin and asked him to marry Sun Yanran as his concubine on the condition that he would take sides and assist him in ascending the throne.
Afterwards, Sun Yanran successfully married into Prince Duan's mansion and became Prince Duan's concubine.
This concubine was very capable and soon became the only favorite, sidelining Princess Duan Liu Shanshan.
Later, it was reported that Princess Duan's health was getting worse day by day and she had to stay in bed all day.
After Zeng Yelin ascended the throne, he named Liu Shanshan the queen and Sun Yanran the virtuous concubine. Xiao Shuyao's mother had saved the virtuous concubine once, so she decided on this marriage.
When Zeng Yelin was a prince, the princess gave birth to Zeng Chengze, the eldest son. After Zeng Yelin became the emperor, there were more and more concubines in the harem.
Zhang Shu, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had a gentle personality. She did not fight or compete, and did not like to show off. She was named Wanpin after entering the harem, but gave birth to the second prince Zeng Chengxiang before Concubine Xian.
The virtuous concubine gave birth to the third prince, Zeng Yuanhang, when the second prince was three years old.
After Zeng Yuanhang came of age, he had countless maids in the mansion, and all major matters were decided by Concubine Xian behind the scenes.
In Xiao Shuyao's opinion, this is a brainless and lustful person~
In fact, the original owner had never really met the third prince. The original owner was bullied for many years, had an introverted personality and didn't like to go out, so she had no chance to meet the third prince.
So when she traveled through time, the original owner did not regard this engagement as too important.
But the original owner still had hope in her heart. Every time she couldn't hold on any longer, she hoped that the Third Prince could save her. She was really in so much pain.
But no one could be her salvation despite her hope. The original owner no longer placed her hope on others.
However, the Third Prince had seen Xiao Shuyao, and when Xiao Miaoyin intentionally or unintentionally told him about Xiao Shuyao's appearance and her own cowardly character, the Third Prince hated his fiancée very much.
Once, the Third Prince was so curious that he secretly came to Xiao Shuyao's yard. After seeing Xiao Shuyao, who had dull eyes, dark skin, and was extremely skinny.
It made me more determined to cancel the engagement. So even though Xiao Shuyao never left the house, Kyoto was still full of negative information about her.
He was as black as coal, and he was not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting. He had an abnormal temper and beat his servants. He was also mentally abnormal.
Hehe~ Zeng Yuanhang wants to cancel the engagement~
Okay, I'll help you. I don't want this shitty engagement~ It will affect my career.
After Xiao Shuyao thought about it, she turned around and prepared to go back to her room. As soon as she turned around, she saw Xiao Cui staring at her with a surprised expression.
Xiao Shuyao waved her hand in front of Xiao Cui's eyes, "Xiao Cui, come back to your senses, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Cui came back to her senses instantly, her eyes smiling into crescents, and said to Xiao Shuyao, "Miss, you were so amazing just now. You scared the second young lady away with just one look."
"Miss, you are completely different after you fell into the water."
When Xiao Shuyao heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat, but when she thought about her own space and the things she had to do in the future, she still had to find a reason to tell Xiao Cui that she still had a great career to accomplish.
Xiao Shuyao thought about it and decided to use the theory of ghosts and gods. In ancient times, people generally believed in gods very much.
After thinking it over, Xiao Shuyao said, "Xiao Cui, go and close the door."
Xiao Cui didn't understand why the young lady had to close the door in broad daylight, but she still obediently closed the door and stood beside the young lady.
"Xiao Cui, Miss, I have a very, very big secret to tell you, Xiao Cui, can you promise not to tell anyone?
Because if you betray me and tell others, I will lose my life at any time."
After hearing this, Xiao Cui knelt down on the ground without thinking and kowtowed to Xiao Shuyao.
And promised, "Miss, even if I die, I will never betray you, and I swear to protect you till my death."
After hearing what Xiao Cui said, Xiao Shuyao would be lying if she said she wasn't moved, no matter if it was the original owner or her who traveled through time.
Xiao Cui always spares no effort to be nice to Xiao Shuyao, which is why Xiao Shuyao chooses to trust her.
"When I fell into the water and passed out, a gray-haired old man came into my dream.
He told me that he was a god, and because he saw how miserable my life was, he gave me a bracelet, saying that with this bracelet, I would have no worries about food and clothing, and would also become more powerful."
Xiao Shuyao raised her wrist to show Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui was surprised to see the bracelet and said, "Miss, it's real. I didn't have this bracelet before."
Then her eyes turned red again, "Miss, God has really opened my eyes. Miss finally doesn't have to suffer anymore. Miss has finally made it through all these years."
Xiao Shuyao rubbed Xiao Cui's head and comforted her, "Don't cry, silly girl. I'll be here with you from now on. I will definitely take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Xiao Cui was successfully amused by the young lady's words. Then she saw Xiao Shuyao took out a lot of things that she had never seen before.
