As soon as Gu Jing opened her eyes, she found herself in a magnificent room.
This time, Tongzi relayed the plot without Gu Jing opening her mouth.
The goal of saving this world is Lin Sui, the Pearl Princess of the Southern Kingdom.
The original owner is the youngest son of an imperial merchant from the Southern Kingdom. He has a brother and a sister in the family. The brother is five years older than him and has now begun to take over part of the family's business. The sister is older and has a daughter who is just five years old now.
His original intention was to have an official career. He was talented. He was a scholar at the age of twelve, a civil servant at the age of fifteen. At the age of eighteen, he was ready to pass the Jinshi examination and enter the court as an official. Everyone in the Gu family thought that having an official in the family would provide them with protection in the future. , after all, it will be much better if there are scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants at home in the court.
As a result, one month before the imperial examination, an imperial edict broke the Gu family's plan.
The emperor actually granted marriage to Princess Mingzhu and the original owner.
On the day the imperial edict arrived, the original owner stiffly received it.
This imperial edict completely cut off the original owner's opportunity to enter the official career, because the prince consort was not allowed to enter the imperial court. Even if the emperor favored Princess Mingzhu and granted him permission to enter the imperial court, he could only get an idle official position.
The passion of the original owner was cut off like this. At this time, the father-in-law who read out the imperial edict revealed that the imperial edict was specially requested by Princess Mingzhu from the emperor.
It turns out that when Princess Pearl secretly ran out of the palace to play, she met the original owner who was accompanying her little sister to the street to buy things.
The innocent little princess had never seen such a handsome man, and she fell in love with him at first sight. When the little princess who had been spoiled since childhood saw someone or something she liked, her first thought was to get it immediately.
In this way, after the young princess found out the identity of the original owner, she went back to the palace to ask the emperor for marriage.
Hearing the princess's request, the emperor was furious. The little princess was only fifteen years old this year, and many children from aristocratic families were eager to win the position of consort.
But the emperor loved this little daughter the most, and naturally he was reluctant to let her get married so early. He originally wanted to keep his daughter until she was eighteen years old, but in the end, the little daughter sneaked out of the palace to play, and asked him to marry her as soon as she came back.
At that moment, the emperor wanted to issue a death edict to Huang Shang's youngest son.
But thinking that the Gu family had contributed a lot to the national treasury, he had no choice but to suppress his anger, rejected the little princess, and punished her not to leave Fengyi Palace for a month.
The little princess who has wanted everything since she was a child naturally refuses to give up.
As soon as she returned to Fengyi Palace, she cried to the queen. The queen, like the emperor, rejected her immediately.
But the little princess cried, made trouble, and went on a hunger strike for half a month. The emperor and the queen had no choice but to agree to her.
However, the reason why the emperor was able to relent was because he had someone investigate the original owner. The result of the investigation was that the original owner was upright and talented. He was elected as a civil servant at the age of fifteen.
Moreover, according to the rules of the Gu family, only those who have no children after thirty years can take concubines. The Gu family has an upright family tradition. Both Gu's father and Gu Da have no concubines or concubines, and the backyard is peaceful.
Although a prince-in-law cannot take concubines, it is naturally better if the prince-in-law comes from a family with a good family tradition.
Moreover, the Gu family is an imperial businessman, and no one in the family has entered the court. Choosing the original owner as the consort will end the original owner's official career. The imperial businessman is just an imperial businessman and will not mess with the court. This is the best thing for the emperor.
So after seeing the results of the investigation, the emperor's attitude relaxed somewhat. Coupled with the crying of his beloved little princess, the emperor completely relaxed, and the imperial edict of marriage was issued.
After hearing what the father-in-law said, the original owner's hatred for Princess Pearl was quietly buried in his heart at that moment.
Later, at a gathering with his former classmates, he saw that all of them had become officials in the court, and the conversation was full of things that he could not touch. The original owner, who was unable to interrupt, felt his hatred for the princess even stronger.
After drinking that day, the princess complained about drinking when she returned home. The original owner was concerned about the royal family and could only swallow her anger.
Later, in order to escape from the princess, the original owner wandered outside during the day and drank until he was unconscious.
The princess, who was neglected by her husband, went to the palace to cry to the queen.
The next day, the original owner was sent to the palace by the emperor and scolded.
After that, the original owner carefully created the appearance of loving the miserable princess, making both outsiders and the emperor convinced.
Due to the oppression of the royal family and the intentional actions of his malicious classmates, the original owner began to secretly raise his wife outside.
At first, the original owner was very worried, fearing that the princess would find out, but the princess happened to be pregnant at this time, and the princess, who suffered from severe morning sickness, had no time to care about the original owner.
This also led to the original owner becoming more and more extravagant. When the princess was five months pregnant, she had three outhouses.
So far, the original owner spent less time in the princess's mansion. Every time the princess asked about it, he used the excuse of helping the Gu family manage the business.
Pregnancy is hard work, and the princess is young, so the queen can only occasionally ask her close relatives to come over to express condolences in the palace.
Without the company of her consort, she stayed alone in the huge princess mansion all day long, and the little princess gradually became depressed.
At this time, the princess took the tonic soup to the study to find the original owner. The boy guarding the door went to the latrine because he had a bad stomach.
So the princess heard the conversation between the original owner and his confidants.
During the conversation, the original owner asked his confidant to find a midwife. When the princess gave birth, he asked the midwife to secretly transfer the child. It turned out that one of the original owner's concubines was pregnant behind the princess. As expected, the two gave birth at about the same time.
The original owner planned to swap the baby first, and then switch the baby from the outside room to the outside room after the baby was born. The baby was almost the same when he was born. As long as he found a few strict nannies, he could get through the matter.
After hearing the ruthless words of the original owner, the tray in the princess's hand fell to the ground.
Hearing the sound outside the door, the original owner immediately opened the study door and saw the princess standing at the door with tears streaming down her face. The maid next to her supported her worriedly and stared at him with anger in her eyes.
When the original owner saw this situation, he knew that the princess had heard all his plans. The original owner took the princess's hand and tried to explain.
But the princess waved him away and raised her hand, ready to slap him.
The original owner hid in a hurry and accidentally pushed the princess to the ground.
The princess clutched her stomach and cried out that it hurt, and soon her body became scarlet red.
The maid was so frightened that she quickly called for someone, and soon someone came over. The princess was carried back to the room. The doctor and midwife were in the room, and basins of blood and water were brought out from the room.
The original owner stood in front of the door, his hands trembling and his whole body cold.
With blank eyes, when the maid came out with the blood, he suddenly remembered that this maid had also heard it.
The original owner quickly signaled his henchmen to kill the maid. After receiving the instructions, the henchmen followed the maid and killed her quietly.
The princess's fetal condition was unstable because she was depressed all day long. This stimulation killed two people.
After the original owner learned that the princess was dead, he felt relieved.
He immediately looked heartbroken.
When the palace received the news that the princess had died one and two, the queen fainted on the spot. The emperor was furious and immediately left the palace and went to the princess's mansion to question the original owner.
