Return of the Phoenix Lady

Darkness, total darkness all around. Strange, wasn't I dead? Was this hell? Yet why did I feel so warm? It felt like I was soaking in a hot spring, so comfortable...

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, the “hot spring” gushed out, and I was also pushed forward by a force. A voice came from outside, “My queen, my queen, push harder! Push harder! The baby is coming out soon…”

It's so uncomfortable! There's no air! I'm suffocating! What the hell is this place?

Just when I was about to suffocate, I was finally pushed out. Phew... I can finally breathe... I almost died again!

"Huan'er, hurry... hurry and take a look, is it... is it a boy or a girl..." a weak female voice came...

"My lady...my lady, it's...it's...it's a girl..." another woman said timidly.

After a moment's silence, a weak female voice rang out again: "Throw...throw it away! Go...bring that boy...here. Remember, I gave birth to a boy today! If...anyone leaks this...I will...destroy his entire family! Remember? Also, tell that midwife who delivered me...to shut up!" With that, she fainted...

Linli listened quietly, a mocking smile on his face. He also realized that he had been reborn, and that he had been reborn with the memories of his past life. As he thought about it, he finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep...

When Linli woke up again, she found herself lying in a woman's arms. The woman said, "Little Princess, please don't blame Huan'er! Huan'er is just a servant. She obeys the master in everything. But don't blame the queen either. She has no choice! In this big melting pot of the palace, if the queen can't protect herself, your life will not be easy. The queen can only do this to protect herself. As for you, I hope you can be found by a good family. That way, you will have a better life. I've seen that you have a heart-shaped birthmark on your chest. One day, if the young master ascends the throne, the queen will definitely come to find you. For now, please bear with it!" With that, she gently put herself on the ground and left...

Linli couldn't help but sneer as she listened to the words of the girl named Huan'er. Haha, convincing her that her heartless mother would come back for her was harder than convincing her that a sow could climb a tree...

Time slipped by, and Linli couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't they let me eat my fill before throwing it away?" Now my stomach was rumbling, and my mind was starting to blur...

"Tick-tick..." He heard the sound of horse hooves in a daze. Someone was coming! Linli was immediately perked up, but he didn't take it lightly. What if it was a bad guy? With his current small body, he would be at the mercy of others. He decided to listen first...

A voice was faintly heard. "Madam, we should be at the mansion in half an hour. Would you like to stop and rest?" "No, let's go home early! Don't worry the master!" a gentle female voice said. "But madam, the master has never cared about you at all! He only has that vixen in his heart. Just like today, the master knew you were about to give birth, but he didn't accompany you, leaving you to come to the temple alone to pray for blessings. You know, if something bad happened, it would be a disaster..." "Okay, stop talking. I know everything you said. Isn't it the same for other ladies? But what can we women do? I can only wait for the master to change his mind." The gentle female voice sobbed...

Linli listened to the conversation between the master and the servant and understood the general situation. In other words, this woman was pregnant but still not favored at home, and her husband was still a man with three wives and four concubines. There shouldn't be any danger. She was the one...

"Wow wow wow... wow wow wow..." Linli began to howl hard...

"Ah! Madam! I think I hear a baby crying..." "Yes! I hear it too. Go check it out!" Hearing footsteps, Linli knew she was saved. "Madam, there's a newborn baby here!" As the woman picked her up and returned to the carriage, a gentle female voice echoed, "Bring it here, let me see it!" Feeling herself being carefully held by a pair of hands, she felt a surge of cherishment.

"Ma'am, tell me, who could be so cruel! They actually abandoned a newborn baby here. How could there be such cruel parents in this world? This child is so pitiful!"

"Yes! Xiaoqing, this child was just born, and it seems that she hasn't had breast milk yet! She is so hungry that her face is a little pale, so pitiful! Why don't we take her back? We are really worried about leaving such a small child here!" said the gentle female voice, the second wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion - Chu Xiang'er.

"Madam, you're right! This child is so young. If he attracts a monster and gets eaten, it would be too pitiful. However, if the other ladies and servants in the mansion see him, it will definitely cause trouble. Why don't we take him back secretly?"

"Well... well! This is the only way! It's getting late, let's go back home quickly!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Xiao Qing replied. After hearing this, Lin Li finally succumbed to the sleepiness and went on a date with Zhou Gong.

"Madam, come and have a look! This child has fainted from hunger! No wonder he didn't cry or make a fuss on the way back. Madam, what do you think?

What can we do? "

Suddenly, I heard someone's voice in my sleep. Damn it, who's making noise? Don't you know that I hate it most when others disturb my sleep? Are you asking for a beating? "If you make any more noise, I will be rude to you!" "Wow wow wow..." Linli was stunned. That's right! I've died and been reborn, ha!

"Oh! Madam! The child has woken up again. Madam, please feed her some milk! Otherwise, she will starve to death!"

After a while, a soft object with a faint fragrance came over and was placed at Linli's mouth. With Linli's knowledge from her past life, she naturally understood that she wanted to feed her milk. However, her soul had lived for more than ten years after all, so she naturally felt a little resistant. Well, okay! When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head! In order to survive, to live well, I accept it! After figuring it out, she opened her little mouth and gulped down the milk... Anyway, this human milk is really not good! It's not as good as cow's milk! Hmm!

The maid named Xiaoqing cried out again, "Ah! Madam! It seems that this child is really hungry! He sucks so hard!"

I covered my ears with my hands speechlessly. Alas...it seems that my ears will be poisoned in the future...

Chu Xiang'er listened to the maid's words and smiled gently. She looked at the baby in her arms with gentle eyes and said carefully, "Child! Don't be anxious! Take your time. No one will snatch it from you. Don't worry! Be good..."

Listening to the gentle words, my heart was filled with warmth. It had been a long time since I felt the motherly love. My mother’s love for me before was not pure. I only thought about getting my father’s love all day long. Now I must cherish this love!

It has been several days since he traveled through time. From the words of the people around him, Linli finally knew what world he had traveled to. This place is called "Tianxing Continent". This continent is composed of five countries, namely: Gold Kingdom, Wood Kingdom, Water Kingdom, Fire Kingdom, and Ice Kingdom. In fact, there were some small countries around it, but they were all annexed by these five countries. Now the situation is that there are five countries in a tripartite relationship. Among them, Wood Kingdom has the stronger national strength, followed by Fire Kingdom, Gold Kingdom, Water Kingdom, Ice Kingdom, and Water Kingdom is a female-dominated country. For this, Linli admires the Queen of Water Kingdom very much. She has such courage and ability to compete with men in such a feudal dynasty.

Now, let's talk about the martial arts of this world. They're actually magic and fighting spirit. It seems like I've been transported to a fantasy world. If I were in modern times, I'd never believe in magic, but now I'm forced to believe it's real. It's said that both magic and fighting spirit have many levels, but I don't know much about them right now. I'll secretly read about them when I can leave. Xiao Qing said that the most powerful people on the mainland right now are those who practice both magic and martial arts. Such people are extremely rare, with only about a dozen or so on the mainland. Those who can cultivate into magicians or fighting spirit masters on this continent are extremely gifted; ordinary people can't cultivate. Xiao Qing and Chu Xiang'er are just like ordinary people. Magicians and fighting spirit masters are far more noble than ordinary people. Xiao Qing also said that there are magical beasts here, but they mostly live in the forests and rarely appear among people. Magicians and fighting spirit masters capture magical beasts in the forests and either sell them or contract them to become their guardian beasts. Xiao Qing didn't elaborate on the details, so I'll have to wait and verify it.

还有就是这里的人用的钱都是铜币、银币、金币、拉丝。100铜币=1银币，100银币=1金币，金币=1拉丝，1银币就足够一家三口生活一个月了。

And now he was staying in Mu country, in the residence of the prime minister of the court, Liu Hexian. Liu Hexian had four wives and several concubines. The first wife, He Shuhui, was the daughter of General He Feilong, and had a five-year-old son; the second wife, Chu Xiang'er, was the daughter of the wealthy businessman Chu Ziyi, and was pregnant with a child of unknown gender; the third wife, Meiruo, was the most popular courtesan in the number one brothel, Xiouhunlou, and was the vixen that Xiaoqing mentioned. She was also pregnant with a child of unknown gender; the fourth wife, Sihe, was a former maid in the mansion. Liu Hexian forced himself on her when he was drunk, and she also had a three-year-old son.

Chu Xiang'er is Chu Ziyi's third daughter, born out of wedlock. Her mother died shortly after giving birth to her, so she is not favored. Her marriage is a political marriage. To put it bluntly, she was sold by her father. Poor Chu Xiang'er accepted her fate and married. Although her married life is not satisfactory, they now have a child, and she only hopes to live the rest of her life in peace.
