imperial concubine

Chapter 2 Rebirth of the New Dynasty
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the yard in the morning, a woman dressed as a maid wiped her tears and walked into the lady's boudoir. She went straight to the bed and probed the woman's forehead. She found that the fever was still high, and the tears fell again involuntarily.

"Miss, what should I do? The eldest lady said that the imperial physicians have all gone to the palace to treat the princess, so they can't be invited." The servant girl knelt by the side of the bed, holding the young lady's hand, crying and murmuring.Tears fell on the woman's hands.

"Miss, Zhuru is really ashamed of Madam for not taking good care of you."

The maid's cry seemed to have awakened the woman, and the eyelids of the person on the bed trembled slightly, but his body was weak after all, and it took him a long time to open his eyes.

Chen Jinghuang looked at the top of the bed very blankly. Originally, she was burned by the flames, and the scorching pain of being swallowed by the flames made her wish to die soon, but gradually, it seemed that water dripped on her body, and the pain on her body gradually faded away. up.Could it be... She was rescued?

Staring at the top of the bed for a long while, she realized that the bed curtain was just ordinary Suzhou embroidery, and the hanging ornaments beside the bed were not expensive. She slowly narrowed her eyes. This was neither the decoration of the imperial palace nor the decoration of the princess mansion.

She raised her hand to support herself and sat up, but when she moved her hand, she woke up the maid who was crying very seriously. She suddenly looked up at Chen Jinghuang and said in surprise, "Miss, are you awake?"

Chen Jinghuang nodded subconsciously, but froze again.She looked up at the servant girl, carefully concealing her surprise.Is there such a maid by her side?Moreover, when was she ever called Miss?
The girl seemed to be overjoyed, and didn't pay attention so much. At this moment, the tears were still hanging on her face, her eyes were full of surprises, and she was very happy to watch.She carefully supported Chen Jinghuang to do it, wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Miss finally woke up, Da Furen has been embarrassing me not to ask the imperial physician for Miss, this servant is really afraid that Miss will get burned."

Chen Jinghuang carefully savored the maid's words, and then looked at everything in the room calmly. She looked at her hand, which was obviously the size of a child's palm, and the skin on the hand was not delicate, but rather rough.It was not her own hand, Chen Jinghuang was startled, not knowing what was going on.

"I want to drink water." Chen Jinghuang covered the shock in his eyes and said.However, the voice was clear and tender, and it was obviously not his own.

The maid nodded, "Miss has been in a coma for a long time due to high fever, she must be thirsty." Then she turned and poured tea.

But the teapot was already empty, and the servant girl couldn't help being resentful. This group of servants who are overbearing and demeaning, but she was afraid that the lady would be spoiled, so she still smiled and replied: "Zhuru forgot to refill the tea, miss, please wait."

Chen Jinghuang didn't miss the resentment in Zhuru's eyes, she thought about it in her heart, this Zhuru looks like a personal servant girl, do you need her to refill tea in person?

After Zhuru went out, Chen Jinghuang tried her best to get down and looked in the mirror, even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked, the person in the mirror was indeed not her.

The girl in the mirror is not tall, but looks about twelve or thirteen years old, her eyebrows are much more elegant than her original self, but her eyes are similar, the same phoenix eyes, the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, very agile.

Chen Jinghuang supported his forehead and sat back on the bed. What was going on? He was clearly in the palace, so he should have died on the banquet table. How could he wake up on another girl?
When Zhuru walked in with a teacup, another middle-aged woman who was well-dressed also came in with a smile, "Greetings to Second Miss, madam heard that Second Miss is awake, so I specially asked my servant to come and see."

"Mother Lin is here." Zhuru handed the tea to Chen Jinghuang, and looked at Mother Lin calmly. "My mother came when Miss woke up. Why didn't Miss Lin come to visit before Miss woke up?"

Chen Jinghuang shook her head secretly, this girl is too impatient, this kind of housewife mother who is old and self-reliant is the last thing to offend.

Being robbed by Zhuru, Mother Lin was naturally unhappy, especially when she saw that the young lady was drinking tea and ignoring her, she felt even more uncomfortable.She ignored Zhuru and explained to Chen Jinghuang with a smile on her face: "Second Miss and Third Miss were fighting against each other, which caused Second Miss to fall into the pond. But Third Miss also caught a cold in order to save you. Madame can't get away to see you now, but Madam knows about your situation."

As soon as I woke up, someone got the news, and it seemed that they were indeed well-informed.Chen Jinghuang put down the teacup, and glanced at Mama Lin indifferently, "Is it also Madam who let Mama Lin enter my boudoir without notification?"

Mother Lin paused, except for Zhuru, all the people in this yard were arranged by the eldest lady, not to mention they didn't have much respect for the second young lady, seeing her coming, it was too late to flatter her, so how could she remember to report it. "It's all because those little hoofs don't know what to do, and the servants forgot to enter in a hurry. Please don't blame the second lady."

He pleaded guilty one by one, but without much sincerity, Chen Jinghuang glanced at Zhuru, motioned her to shut up, and then said slowly, "It's okay, I'm fine, you can go back to Da Furen."

After Lin's mother left, Zhuru still looked aggrieved, but Chen Jinghuang smiled, "You are too restless, offending people for nothing."

"Miss, even if you don't offend her, you are still a thorn in the lady's side and a thorn in the flesh. It's better to offend her and get angry." Zhuru said bitterly, "Your servant only left for a while, and you were pushed into the water by the third lady. The eldest lady actually explained to Lord Hou that it was sisters fighting against each other, and that the third lady went into the water to save you. Pooh, it is impossible for the person who saved you to be the third lady. It is a pity that you were in a coma and you don’t remember who it is, otherwise you must Debunk her in front of Lord Hou."

When Chen Jinghuang heard the word Hou Ye, his eyes flashed, "Father, as Hou Ye, is so partial." His tone was full of sighs.

At this time, Zhuru explained: "Master Hou is a mighty Marquis who is in charge of the capital camp, unlike those noble masters in the imperial capital, he is busy with business, so it is inevitable that he will be looser in managing the back house."

Chen Jinghuang raised her eyebrows slightly, mighty Marquis Su Huaiyuan?She was thinking about it, but her face was calm and she looked out the window, and saw that although there was sunshine, the air was cold. After observing for a long time, she sighed and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year. It's really bad to have typhoid fever at this time." not good."

"Yeah, it's been almost three years since Yong'an, how time flies." Seeing that the young lady was thinking about talking, Zhuru replied with a smile. "But miss typhoid will recover soon, don't worry."

In other words, it has been almost three years since King Ruyang ascended the throne.Chen Jinghuang's eyes became more and more bewildered. Could it be that three years later when he woke up?
Suppressing the confusion in her heart, Chen Jinghuang gradually understood the current situation from Zhuru. The owner of her body was Su Wan, the daughter-in-law of the original wife of the Weiwuhou Mansion, but the original wife passed away four years ago. Yes, today's eldest lady was brought up by a noble concubine.

In Zhuru's description, the eldest lady is a smiling tiger with a sweet mouth and a sword. On the surface, she loves Su Wan very much, but in fact she has been suppressing Su Wan. Appeared at society banquets.

As the eldest princess of a country, Chen Jinghuang naturally has a basic impression of the noble daughters of various families, but she did meet the former mighty Mrs. Wuhou a few times, but Su Wan was still young at that time.Later... After the death of Mrs. Wei Wuhou, it is true that she never saw Su Wan again, but she did meet Su Yue at several banquets.Su Yue, that third young lady, is also the daughter of the eldest lady.

Since Chen Jinghuang woke up, the eldest lady sent a lot of things, but no one with status in the mansion has ever visited her.Zhuru kept wiping away tears secretly, lamenting that if the wife was still there, how could the young lady be ignored to such an extent.

Chen Jinghuang didn't care, instead she planned to take the maidservant to Puji Temple.

Zhuru was worried that the eldest lady would not let her go out. Over the years, the eldest lady has been trapping her in this mighty Marquis Mansion on the grounds that a noble daughter of a family can't show her face.But Chen Jinghuang pursed her lips and smiled, Zhuru didn't know what the young lady said to the mother-in-law who was sent to pass on the message, the eldest lady agreed quickly, but only asked her to bring more guards to avoid accidents.

Since getting into the carriage, Zhuru has been tormenting her, wanting to know what the young lady said.

Chen Jinghuang smiled nonchalantly, Ruyu took a cup of tea with her fingers, but didn't drink it, the mist rose up, her eyebrows and eyes seemed a little ethereal in the mist, and said lightly: "Just tell her, I wake up I can’t remember some things in the end, the person who rescued me in a daze was not Sanmei, and it’s better to go to Puji Temple to pay homage to get rid of bad luck.”

The two ladies in the mansion fought so fiercely that one fell into the water and almost lost his life. The eldest lady told the whole family that the man was rescued by the third lady, so it was evened out.But what if the person wasn't rescued by Miss San?

Zhuru was taken aback, "Miss, do you remember that Miss San saved you?"

Chen Jinghuang shook her head, "I don't remember, I just said it casually." But the Da Furen's reaction told her that the person who rescued Su Wan was definitely not Su Yue.

Puji Temple is the most incense-filled temple in the imperial capital, and Chen Jinghuang also visited it before.After she got out of the carriage, she went straight to the main hall familiarly, leaving all the servants outside the hall. She looked seriously at the golden Buddha statue enshrined in the hall, and the ever-burning lamps were not extinguished. Everything was a familiar scene .

There was no one in the hall, and Chen Jinghuang didn't bow down, but just looked at the Buddha with blurred eyes.After all, she is living in another body now, three years later, is it really unreal?
"Young lady has been standing here for a long time. Could it be that she is not here to worship Buddha, but to meet Buddha?"

A cool voice interrupted Chen Jinghuang's thoughts, Chen Jinghuang turned his head suddenly, and saw a man in black clothes, who seemed to appear out of thin air.

Being disturbed, she narrowed her eyes slightly, obviously displeased.

The man was taken aback by her eyes, but he smiled, "The girl's eyes on the savior are really impolite."
