Fat jade is the skin, autumn water is the bones; the body is plump and the charm is extraordinary.
These were the words that came to Sheng Ting's mind when Sheng Yuan appeared in front of her.
She never imagined that the cute and round dumpling in the past would turn out to be so charming. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had "bright eyes and starry eyes".
Under the sun, her watery eyes sparkled, and the movement in her eyes could tell a thousand words.
In the crowd, the corners of her eyes were raised with deep affection, and she stared for thousands of years.
Sheng Ting vaguely remembered that after the royal banquet, the appearance of Shengyuan became famous in the capital. Xie, the most favored imperial concubine, once praised her: looking at her from a distance, the moonlight is surrounding her; looking up close, her skin is hazy.
Concubine An also praised her: She has the splendor of peony, the beauty of peony, and the gracefulness of camellia.
What Sheng Ting remembers the most is how the successor emperor described her in the Yuanzhou Pavilion, which was built after Tang Lingyan Pavilion:
Looking back at the flowers, she looked up in amazement, her beautiful face showed off a thousand reds and was ashamed; the pleated palace dress showed her beauty, and the silver armor added to the majesty.
Thinking that the second person in the portrait displayed in Yuanzhou Pavilion was this cousin, Sheng Ting felt extremely complicated, and the scene of her ordering one hundred thousand elite soldiers could not help but appear in her mind.
She thought: Sheng Han did not lose unfairly.
With a sigh, Sheng Ting continued to remember.
The turmoil seems to have started when the Chu King's concubine disappeared.
The concubine is someone whom the King of Chu cares about, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a helping hand.
She disappeared without any reason. The King of Chu was frightened and sent people to search for her. After searching for her for a long time, he discovered that the concubine might have been robbed and taken to King Jing's palace in the capital.
Although the King of Chu was powerful, King Jing was his uncle. Out of caution, he did not dare to act rashly, so he could only go to the palace at night to request an order. However, before Emperor Chengyuan could say anything, King Jing died suddenly.
Almost instantly, various rumors appeared among the people in Beijing.
Some say it originated from the competition between uncle and nephew for beauty; some say that the concubine was a chess piece arranged by the emperor; and even more exaggeratedly said that the late emperor had long been dissatisfied with the prince, so he arranged for King Jing to control the emperor. It was also said that King Jing had the late emperor's edict in his hand, so he could The emperor was deposed and re-established. This time King Jing was killed because the current emperor and his son teamed up.
Sheng Ting had heard many of these rumors at that time. Although she and her husband disagreed with them, the king of the vassal in Beijing felt very cold and wrote letters one after another wanting to return to the vassal.
How could Emperor Chengyuan just let his brothers leave like this? If he didn't find out the whole story and give an explanation, the moment the vassal king returned to the vassal was the day the kings left.
Sheng Ting thought about her husband's later evaluation of this period of time, and she was convinced: Emperor Chengyuan's idea was right, but there were too many forces stirring up the situation in the capital, so it would be a mistake to stay longer.
Emperor Chengyuan sent multiple departments to jointly investigate and investigate. Unexpectedly, the evidence vaguely pointed to Princess Sheng Han of Chu who was far away in the suburbs of Beijing.
If Sheng Ting hadn't known the truth later, she would have thought it was Sheng Han's handiwork. After all, who she hated and feared, it was naturally the concubine of King Chu and the current Princess Jing, Sheng An.
Emperor Chengyuan probably thought so too. After sending people to search Prince Jing's Mansion and interviewing Princess Jing and the other female relatives in the mansion, he escorted Princess Chu back to the capital.
But no one expected that before the escort arrived, the courtyard where Princess Chu lived on the outskirts of Beijing was actually burned down.
Emperor Chengyuan almost relapsed upon hearing this, but before he could catch his breath, several vassal princes in Beijing were assassinated one after another, and they were all damaged in the blink of an eye.
Such a situation made the rumors in Beijing intensify, and even the common people believed that it was the result of the emperor's manipulation.
Emperor Chengyuan, who was so angry that he fainted after being inexplicably put a pot on his head, didn't know that this was just the beginning.
In the following ten years, all his grown-up sons came on stage and began their career of fighting for the right to inherit the throne.
Until King Chu became the only remaining son of the emperor, Emperor Chengyuan suddenly realized that he seemed to have no choice but to grit his teeth and entrust the country to him.
However, Emperor Chengyuan did not expect that once again, he was just about to announce the news of establishing the crown prince to the world. Queen Lu, who had been staying at home since he became the crown prince, sent their father and son off.
This move not only left the throne empty, but also left the late emperor with no heirs to inherit. The princes in the court discussed the candidates for succession all night long, and even invited the Queen Mother Qin to discuss it together.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother proposed that Princess Yongping become the future king!
How is this possible? Not to mention that Princess Yongping is not a man, even if the ministers agree to the queen's ascension to the throne, it will not be her turn. The late emperor had several princesses!
It is a pity that the Queen Mother Qin insisted on her opinion and her mind was made up, and the ministers had no choice but to suddenly remember that Princess Yongping was the only daughter of Princess Hong'an, the daughter of Emperor Chen Mo, and the eldest son of the Queen Mother Qin, Prince Huaiyan!
It seems inevitable that she will inherit the throne?
The ministers were shaken, but the decision was still undecided. The news was heard both inside and outside the palace, and in an instant, many forces launched an assassination attempt on Princess Yongping.
It was also at this time that everyone in the capital suddenly discovered that at some point, all patrols in the capital were in the hands of Princess Yongping! Outside the capital, Sheng Yuan, the daughter of Marquis Yongning, led 100,000 elite troops, waiting for orders!
Princess Jing, Sheng Ran, and the widows of other princes presented the vassal seal to Princess Yongping. The ministers found that the stalemate was meaningless, so they could only read the classics to find the theoretical basis for the Queen's enthronement, and then held a grand enthronement ceremony.
Sheng Ting was extremely exhausted after recalling this point. She no longer recalled how grand the coronation ceremony was that shocked the world. She only had the last scene of seeing Sheng Yuan in her mind.
It was a cave, and she and the Sheng family were blindfolded and "invited" there.
"This can be regarded as the reunion of the Duke Sheng's family." Sheng Yuan's voice was gentle but cold, and Sheng Ting can't forget it to this day.
At that time, she had just taken off her blindfold, and she felt her eyes were painful from the many torches in the cave. It took her a while to adjust to the light inside.
Of course, all five members of the Sheng family were "invited". Not everyone was as good-tempered as her, and a few of them had the guts to reprimand her loudly.
She was terrified when she saw it, fearing that Sheng Yuan would be angry and just wipe them away. She and Lang Jun hadn't had enough of their good life yet!
Fortunately, Sheng Yuan was still tolerant. He just ordered his men to draw out the cold-gleaming broad sword and frightened them so much that they trembled.
Then, Sheng Yuan asked his subordinates to bring someone over - it was Sheng Han, the former Princess of Chu whom Emperor Chengyuan had not been able to find for a long time.
Sheng Ting looked at Sheng Han acting crazy when she saw Sheng Yuan, and then listened to Sheng Yuan's people making all of Sheng Han's deeds public.
That was the first time she heard about rebirth, and it was also the first time she knew that her once-good cousin was reborn. Because she was dissatisfied, she actually got involved in the marriage between Sheng Ran and the King of Chu. Many more twists and turns.
What frightened her even more was that Sheng Yuan actually told them that the concubine of King Chu was theirs!
Sheng Ting was confused at the time. No matter how Sheng Han screamed and reprimanded when she found out, there was only one sentence in her mind: It's over! Sheng Yuan had already told such important things, how could he let them go back? Are you afraid that the entire family of Duke Sheng's family will be sent to meet their ancestors?
"Rebirth?" Sheng Yuan's cold laughter woke Sheng Ting from her panic.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Sheng Yuan who was sitting on the high steps, watching her delicate skin as delicate as jade and porcelain becoming more and more exquisite in the halo, and listening to her contemptuous and domineering words:
"If you have the ability to be reborn, just do it! If you want to seize the opportunity, just come! You know the origin of Sheng Han, and you also know the direction of the two lives! If you are unwilling, just come over, so that you can understand , some people’s opportunities are endless, and some people’s achievements... you can’t reach them!”
The fire and sneer in Sheng Yuan's eyes were all reflected in Sheng Ting's eyes, but she was extremely pleasantly surprised. While she was saying "dare not, don't want to, can't" in her heart, she was glad that she could go back alive and live a good life with her husband.
...Put it up first and modify it later.
【(small theater)
Sheng Yuan: What I’m saying is, when you’re proud, you can make threats and increase your momentum. I don’t really want you to be reborn. Why do you guys take it so seriously?
Sheng Ting: Let’s just say, I am a salted fish and I am happy, and you threaten me to show weakness. If you don’t believe me, go back and ask, did I just say “dare not, don’t want, can’t” repeatedly?
Rebirth is not what I thought, why do you still drag me into the whirlpool? He picks out the soft persimmons and wants to see if I cooperate!
I lie flat on my back and expose my belly for you to poke at me. If I toss you around for a while, you will consider me clumsy!
Sheng Han: Let’s just say, if you threaten me, I will respond, if you let me be reborn, I will cooperate, and then you will come back to show off your skills, and I will secretly enjoy myself when I am full of emotions;
But the question is, why did the memory go wrong? After being reborn twice, the memory is still the same as before?
If you have the ability, return your memory to me, and I promise to cause trouble. I promise to make your legend come true again! 】
