Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 343 Memories
Butterfly Princess was once a legendary woman. This legend has been passed down to this day and is still a topic on everyone's lips in a place full of feasting and entertainment.

It is said that she appeared in the Zuihonglou in the capital when she was thirteen years old, and then participated in the geisha competition that year and became the oiran.

Because of her outstanding talents, beautiful appearance, enchanting figure, and quite mysterious and alluring personality, she has become the number one person sought after by everyone.

At that time, Butterfly Princess, anyone who could listen to her playing the piano was either rich or noble, and even those who didn't have a scary status could not get a date.

Later, when she was twenty years old, she suddenly disappeared, as mysteriously as her arrival in the capital.

If the beauty was in her old age and was replaced by a newcomer, probably Butterfly Princess's name would not be remembered until today, decades later.

However, when she was blushing and turning purple, there was suddenly no news. How many people in the capital sighed because they could no longer hear the sound of nature, and how many people in the capital were tossing and turning and unable to sleep because they could no longer see the beauty?
In the previous life, in the Zuihonglou and other brothels where Qin Xian lived, the girls often added Ji at the end of their names, probably because they wanted to get the good fortune of Die Ji. However, everyone dared not follow the established rules. Take the word "butterfly".

At that time, Qin Xiang was named Yuji in Zuihonglou. She often wears plain white clothes with a soft white gauze hanging on her face. Due to her bad mood and loss of appetite, her body is weak and thin, but she has more of a floating appearance, like a jade or a fairy.

Ever since Butterfly Princess suddenly disappeared, there have been countless prostitutes imitating Butterfly Princess. They all want to recreate Butterfly Princess's former glory, but unfortunately, they are all trying to imitate her and miss the point.

If there is anyone who is the closest, it is Qin Xiang. And Qin Xiang was only slightly successful, far from Die Ji.

Of course, there are reasons for Qin Xiang's resemblance. First, she is somewhat similar to Die Ji. According to an old man who has seen Die Ji, Qin Xiang's eyes are especially similar after she wears a veil.

Second, Qin Xiang's piano skills are of course so superior that everyone who listens to her playing the piano can't help but become quiet, and Qin Xiang has a cold and arrogant personality that refuses to be ignored by people thousands of miles away, but those men just like this, just like in a place like this. An extraordinary woman emerged, and what a wonderful person she is.

She is a young lady from a wealthy family, a wife of a high-ranking official, and is proficient in everything, including poetry and song. This is indeed better than many other women.

However, in Qin Xiang's current view, her superb piano skills are probably because she has the blood of Die Ji in her bones. Their eyes are similar, which is because they are related to Butterfly Princess.

Qin Xiang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. Repeatedly, she suppressed or exhaled all the throbbing and dryness in her heart.

Dieji, a woman from a valley full of butterflies, caused a stir in the capital for seven years, and then disappeared.

What kind of woman is she? And why would you send your biological daughter to a farmer's home like that? And why did he die in Qijiang County?
Qin Xiang glanced at the somewhat old prince in front of her again, and her doubts suddenly appeared in her heart: Since he is the prince, why can't he protect a woman with fireworks?
"I wonder if the prince knows who my maternal grandfather is?" Qin Xi suddenly asked the ninth prince.

"Her only man is me, and the child itself is mine." Regarding this, the old prince was not modest, and even a little proud.

Qin Xiang asked about his maternal grandfather, but the Ninth Prince only said that the child was his.

What's the difference? Qin Xiang frowned and thought for a moment, unable to think of any answer. The only answer was that the Ninth Prince was unwilling to truly recognize Qin Xiang's mother and daughter.

"I once heard some news about my grandmother. It is said that she died in the hands of the sphenoid bone. I wonder if the sphenoid bone has anything to do with my grandmother?" Qin Xiang changed the subject.

Butterfly Valley, Sphenoid Bone, and Butterfly Princess seem to be connected in series. Qin Xiang wants a definite answer, not his own guess.

"She comes from Butterfly Valley. Outside, outsiders are used to calling people who come from Butterfly Valley sphenoid bones." The Ninth Prince used the water in the teacup to write "Valley" and "Gu" on the table.

Qin Xiang's hand suddenly tightened. She had heard about the sphenoid bone before and even inquired about the sphenoid bone, but she never expected that her grandmother was actually from the sphenoid bone.

The Ninth Prince looked out the window and remained silent for a long time, lost in memories.
Sphenoid is an intelligence organization and also a killer organization.

Butterfly Princess has lived in this place where flowers bloom for as long as she can remember. It is beautiful but full of murderous intent. Many times, Die Ji thought that the reason why those flowers were so gorgeous was probably because they were buried with too much human blood and flesh and blood.

Die Ji is a smart and beautiful woman. After knowing that the only way to die is to die, she becomes a murderous puppet.

At the age of thirteen, she stood out and was sent to the Zuihonglou in the capital to become a world-famous geisha.

When she was sixteen, she met the newly grown Ninth Prince.

The ninth prince's uncle brought him to Zuihonglou, asked Die Ji to serve him, and told Die Ji that this was her master behind the scenes.

The sphenoid bone was secretly prepared for the Ninth Prince by his uncle, including the Zuihong Mansion. It was also a place prepared for the Ninth Prince to gather intelligence and collect money.

The same is true for Die Ji. She was able to maintain her virginity just to present it to the Ninth Prince, as a coming-of-age gift to the Ninth Prince.

Die Ji was the Ninth Prince's first woman, and she was so ecstasy that the young Ninth Prince fell deeply into it.

The Ninth Prince was still too young at that time, and he thought he could be with Die Ji for the rest of his life, tender and affectionate forever.

But his mother and uncle's family would not tolerate him doing this. What they wanted was higher power and wealth.

As a result, the Ninth Prince slowly began to use Die Ji to inquire about information, and even allowed her to accompany other guests to drink and play the piano and have fun.

But then, because of jealousy, he would indulge crazily on Die Ji in order to find some lost things.

Later, when Die Ji faced him, her smile became less and less. Until one day, Die Ji disappeared. The Ninth Prince was so worried that he ordered the people of Sphenoid Bone to search around and be sure to find her.

But in the end, Die Ji died, and she was hung at the city gate in public for several days after her death.

The Ninth Prince then realized that this was a show of force from his uncle's family and a warning from his mother.

He finally knew that as a prince, he was actually nothing. This Zuihonglou was said to be prepared for him, but in fact, it was his uncle who controlled it.

He, a dignified prince, lived such a useless life that he couldn't even keep a woman.

The Ninth Prince built the Jiufeng Mountain Villa with the money handed over by his uncle, and began to live a life of drunkenness and dreams.

Later, a sick prostitute in Zuihong Mansion risked her life to tell the Ninth Prince before she died: Die Ji left that year because she was pregnant, and she did not want her child to suffer the same fate as her. She even didn't believe that the Ninth Prince's mother and uncle could tolerate her, a woman of low status, being pregnant with the Ninth Prince's child.

In other words, Die Ji would rather escape than believe that the Ninth Prince could keep her and their child. Of course, she might not believe that the Ninth Prince would allow her to give birth to this child.

Because of her distrust, she would rather run away, but she also knew that the people of Sphenoid Bone could only die and there was no way to escape.

But the Ninth Prince didn't understand. There were too many things he didn't understand. But he could only live according to the wishes of his mother and uncle, get married and have children, and once reached the pinnacle of power, just a hair away from that position.

But he lost, and his mother and uncle were so angry that they vomited blood, but he didn't care. Jiufeng Mountain was still prosperous, but he suddenly felt that it was meaningless. He has long since lost his mood to fight for power.

The Nine Princes' Mansion, which was once very prosperous, gradually faded out of public sight.
