Beginning:
Volume 1 1.Wedge
Large red tents quietly hanging down, the line of sight through, can vaguely see the tent outside the other furnishings, just as if laying a layer of red mist. Golden tassels, delicate and graceful. And the bed was made of near-perfect rosewood carvings, lavish and ornate.
Everything here was so, so beautiful, yet silent as death.
I glanced at the other end of the large bed, Yang Chenyu seemed to be sleeping extremely well, the change in environment didn't seem to affect him in the slightest.
I looked around again, although everything was still hidden, and the only thing I could see clearly was the red mantle, a certain feeling in my heart sank by the minute, slowly leaving only the despair of falling into the abyss.
I finally knocked myself completely out of my wits and pulled myself out of the remnants of my extravagance, and then faced the so-called cruel truth.
Crossing!
When the cliff that suddenly broke off, rushed to the bottom of the cliff with lightning speed, and I fell sharply with the broken stone without warning.
The cries of alarm were all but dispersed, and the only sound in my ears was the howling wind, which continued unabated.
Is that what it takes to cross over?
Of course not, this is just death, a death without bones.
In the moment of death, I had fear, I had grief, I had helplessness, but I also had a kind of unnecessary self-destruction.
What fear of life and death!
This is not a great realization, not contempt for life, only, is the despair of self-masturbation.
Then, the mind was muddled, unable to think, feeling only this heart-breaking pain, as if to pull the soul out of the body alive. After the sudden flash of white light, all the discomfort was instantly gone.
I stopped my head with both hands, wanting to clear all these memories away. But it was in vain, what had just happened was like a pervasive wind, drilling into my brain in every way possible.
The floating clouds and mists, a chaotic surrounding, like the world before Pangu opened the world. I was like a wandering soul, as light as a swallow, drifting forward without a goal. The same drifter, and the soul next to him, he.
Thinking of this, I hung my hands helplessly, but still could not control my thoughts, letting everything come overwhelmingly.
Just with a few friends to visit the mountains, when I stood on the edge of the cliff with Yang Chenyu, the stone suddenly disconnected, and then just fell off the cliff, consciousness gradually lax.
The place where the fog lingers, two clouds stand out in a different way. Black, like extremely thick ink, and white, like extremely pure snow. The black and white intersected without any intersection, and stood side by side, as if they were guiding us.
Those were not two clouds, they were the incarnations of two gods.
They ......
I drew in a deep breath, my body shivering a little with suppressed emotion.
The bed moved slightly and he rolled over, continuing his slumber.
Emotions loosened away, any resentment was helpless.
I woke up, my soul already existing in another body, and then I knew what I was in for, crossing over, and knowing that from then on, I said goodbye to everything I had been, and had to live again, as another person.
How many years ago was this? After a thousand sails, whenever I recall the origin of all this, it is always complicated. Crossing over has given me a never-before-seen uncertainty and helplessness, a never-before-seen experience of pain, but also a never-before-seen new life, with the final happiness.
I suddenly forgave them, the two immortals who had taken my soul. Even though these experiences had been painful and heartbreaking, and there had been partings in life and death, there was still something worth remembering and perpetuating in my heart. That is love - friendship and love.
The years have passed, everything is finally in the past, to be old enough to remember, the grief dispersed, once those youthful happiness and experience, little by little up to the surface, that belongs to my wonderful, when I was young, the youthful afterglow and life's blood, in the heart of the return to the quiet, but also today's bright moon and mountains and streams to accompany me, of course, there is also this accompanied me for a long time, and will always accompany me! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it.
The story begins with the crossing, the restless years, simple and simple girl, has not yet been involved in the world on the life of the fall, came to the inexplicable dynasty, waiting for her, is the unknown future ......
Another excerpt:
Having just graduated from high school back to this inexplicable ancient times, actually still a noble princess! Although, my food problem, accommodation problem, are thus solved, but to survive in this feudal monarchy's era of the harem, but also very difficult! From a young age, everything was arranged by my parents, and now, is no longer able to see my parents, from now on, there is no one to worry about me, no one to nag in my ears, those things that were once so familiar that they were troublesome are now no longer available.
What about being a noble princess, okay? You can't get high up, and you might get targeted! How in the world am I supposed to survive, someone like me who has only read travel novels and court novels without any practice?
I actually became Yang Chen Yu's concubine? Yet the feeling in my heart when I think of this, is already indescribable.
Wait, let's put these questions down first. I am missing two months of memory, how on earth did I enter the palace, how long have I been in the palace. I don't even know anything about everything in the palace, damn the 'Black and White Irregulars'!
Serious Empress Dowager, scheming consorts, this is my first impression of the harem. All that hooking and scheming, just the thought of it gives one a headache!
My name is He Tianqing, my father is the left prime minister of the dynasty, and I am a pure girl, usually seldom go out, the court has always been not very interested in the matter. But I also heard my father said the emperor's most favored is the right prime minister's daughter Zhao Qinlan, Lanfei, and the university scholar Ouyang Bo's daughter Ouyang Yuel, Yufei. Only all side consorts.
Mentioning these, I can not help but laugh bitterly, the harem women how much, so what do I count him? I am not a couple with him, and now I am staying beside him in such an awkward position, what do I really count?
My father is quite close to the Empress Dowager, of course this is only known to insiders, probably that's why I can be a Noble Consort!
The Emperor of Daxia has not yet appointed a queen, the former Crown Princess died of illness before he ascended to the throne, and the appointment of a queen will have to be made in the second year of his ascension to the throne to offer sacrifices to heaven, but the Emperor ascended to the throne in less than half a year. Under the Empress are the four main consorts. In order of rank is the noble consort, Shufei, Defei, Xianfei, and then there are side consorts, nobles, showgirls.
When I realized I could move again, I slowly sat up, feeling still a little dizzy.
"Hey!" He tapped me.
"Something wrong?" I replied a little weakly.
He had a strange look on his face, followed by an exaggerated grin, "I kind of didn't recognize you."
"Really?" I ran a hand over my face.
"I didn't realize...we'd be like this!" He laughed a little bitterly, and the laugh was distinctly not bitter.
"Yeah, didn't expect that! By the way, I'm missing two months of memory, how on earth did I enter the palace . How long have I been in the palace? I have no idea at all!" That was indeed a question.
"I just entered the palace today!"
"Oh! That's okay!" I secretly breathed a sigh of relief that I hadn't been taken advantage of by him yet!
He suddenly said with a wicked grin on his face, "But we haven't caved in yet, should we continue?"
I grabbed something to hit him with, but took the pillow that didn't do much damage.
"Fuck you! Don't even think about touching me!"
"Fine! Don't touch me, don't touch me. I've got a harem of 3,000 beauties!" He said laying down!
"I really want to hit you with something more. Can't you just tell me about this place in more detail?" A slight sour feeling flooded his heart and he only pulled away from the conversation.
"It's the Empress Dowager who insisted on naming you the head of the rightful consorts, and I guess she's going to help you become the queen. The Empress Dowager is not the Emperor's...the Emperor is also my own mother, the Fourth Prince's own mother. I used to always go against the Empress Dowager, and favored Consort Lan, Consort Yuk, Consort Rong and the others, Consort Lan was made Shufei a few days ago, and that's the condition for me to agree for you to enter the palace and become a noble consort." He half reclined and lazily said.
"So it's like this, no wonder! She dried up and had to make me a noble consort, people in the palace like to mess with that as much as they can, I don't see the point."
"You don't know much about the situation in the palace, of course she has to find a backstage hard to get close to, or else she is the empress dowager is a display, and then gradually forgotten. It is not possible to say that someday also be pulled a reason to death!"
So troublesome? "Forget it, I'm so tired, I'll sleep first! And no, you're not allowed to sleep on the bed!"
"This ...... Then where do I sleep? What kind of Spanish joke are you making?" He cried a little.
I faked an apologetic smile, "That's none of my business. The floor, the bench, the table, so many choices and you don't have enough!"
"Don't do that, if the palace maid or eunuchs see it, it's too embarrassing!"
"The so-called male and female are not close," I pretended.
"It doesn't matter, you're my wife." He quickly took over.
"Doesn't count!" I said flatly.
He laughed wickedly, "It's your first day in the palace, if you don't get a full house, then isn't it, hey, I'll bend over backwards to do you this favor, lest you be passed around the harem as a laughing stock!"
"Good! This is what you said you'd do for me, no backtracking?"
He was dumbfounded for a moment and nodded vigorously. A sudden pang of heartache welled up in me!
I said coldly, "Cut your hand, drip some blood on the bed and you're almost done, they do it all the time on TV! That's it, if you're willing to do this favor, I'll let you sleep on the bed, but you have to stay away from me!" With that said I laid back down, I couldn't be cruel to him after all.
"No problem!" That said. He couldn't help but mutter, "We're all new age people, how feudal!" When he was done with that, he should have slept as well.
In truth, I wasn't asleep, just trying to organize my thoughts. In my current memory, two months ago, I was locked up by my father. The reason was, when I went out once, I met a man from the jianghu, Mu Qiuchan, who was the second son of the Extermination Villa. But my father was bent on sending me to the palace, and I was caught when I was about to elope with him. I had thoughts of courting death at the time, but why did I agree to go to the palace again? And where is Mu Qiuhan? He didn't come to me? It is really mind-boggling!
That Mu Qiuhan is handsome and gentle. It's a pity that I don't have that fate, although it's one thing if I love him or not, but even if I love him what can I do? To be a substitute for He Tianqing? How can I do that? I will never do something so unpromising!
Gradually, I also got sleepy and slowly fell asleep!
