"My daughter will never marry. I swear to never marry into the Liyang Palace."

"The prince hasn't even married yet, but his two children have already climbed up the tree. His reputation is extremely bad. Daddy is so cruel."

When I opened my eyes again, it was the spring of the eleventh year of Xuan Zhao.

The eldest sister knelt in front of the hall and cried like a pear blossom in the rain. Fu Guiyun realized that she was also reborn.

Seeing her choked voice and pitiful appearance, if Fu Guiyun didn't know how much she wanted to marry into the Liyang Palace in her previous life, he would have felt that his sister had suffered a great injustice.

And I am the eldest daughter who has always been pampered and favored by the mansion.

In the previous life, Fu Guiyun was chosen by the Prince of Liyang and his wife, who asked to be the Crown Prince's consort. However, her stepmother made trouble and arranged a marriage with the Earl of Changping in advance. Later, she let Fu Yuanshu take her place and marry into the palace in a grand manner.

But being the mistress of the palace is not something that just anyone can do.

Their Fu family was just a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Rites, with no power or influence. If the scandal of the crown prince keeping a mistress and having a pair of children before marriage had not spread to the market, the Liyang Prince and his wife would not have chosen the Fu family even if they were overwhelmed with choices.

The reason why he looked down on the Fu family was simply because he felt that the daughters of the Fu family were gentle, virtuous, and easy to control.

Besides, the old princess has been bedridden for a long time and wants to find a smart and capable daughter-in-law to take care of the household chores.

But Fu Yuanshu is a person who doesn't know what's good for her. She wants to hold power and enjoy the emperor's favor at the same time.

After marrying into the palace, even the personal maids around the prince were forced to have no way to survive. Moreover, she would beat and scold her children at the slightest displeasure, and often bring up their deceased mother from another marriage, causing the young county princess to be unable to bear the humiliation and drown herself in a well.

Because the emperor had arranged the marriage, although the Prince of Liyang and his wife did not divorce their daughter-in-law, they were extremely disappointed. They allowed the prince to take a roomful of concubines and schemed against them all day long.

Fu Yuanshu was so angry at the group of concubines that she vomited blood every day. Eventually she died and became the prince's premature wife.

On the other hand, before Fu Guiyun got married, the news that the son of the Earl of Changping had died in the battlefield reached Yundu. She married into the Earl's Mansion with the spirit tablet in her arms and lived as a widow for three years, but unexpectedly welcomed the son of the Earl's Mansion back home.

Later, the young uncle launched a coup and became emperor. Fu Guiyun also rose to prominence and was named queen. Within two years, she ascended the throne with the young emperor and became the empress dowager with great power. She was truly honored and unparalleled.

Leaning lightly on the sandalwood chair with half-closed eyes, Fu Guiyun was immersed in the past, while his younger sister's crying became more and more violent.

"Daddy, it's not that my daughter is rebellious and ignorant. We are both your daughters, so why are you so partial and always side with my sister?"

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and the bolder she became.

"Before the expedition, the Prince of Changping and my daughter had already secretly decided to spend their lives together, but my father promised the marriage to my sister instead. I don't want to disappoint the young master's love, so today I would rather die with honor than to live up to his reputation of chastity."

"presumptuous."

Fu Ping sat upright in the hall, quite annoyed by his second daughter's words.

However, he has always favored the daughter born to his second wife. Although he was angry, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to his eldest daughter sitting on the side for help.

If he were honest with himself, he would feel that he owed a lot to his eldest daughter.

But now the Fu family has been involved in the vortex of party disputes for no reason, and is at risk of being confiscated and exterminated at any time. If they offend King Liyang again, the Fu family will surely fall into an irretrievable situation.

Looking at the look in his father's eyes, Fu Guiyun smiled faintly.

She knew that her father had always been a soft-tempered person, and as long as her stepmother instigated him with a few words, he would listen to her.

"Cough, cough."

After coughing twice, Fu Guiyun did not expose his younger sister's conspiracy and lies. He slowly stood up and walked to her.

"Is my sister really in love with the young master of the Song family?"

Fu Yuanshu raised her eyes and looked her in the eye.

After thinking for a few seconds, she responded softly, gritting her teeth and said against her will: "This love is unswerving."

Anyway, her mother is there, so she is determined to get married.

Fu Guiyun pretended to be embarrassed, but he was secretly happy in his heart: "Since my sister likes it, then I will fulfill your wish."

If she wants to be the queen mother who rules the country and has all the power in the court, let her be.

How can a person change his fate by just stealing a man?

In his previous life, Song Weizhao was defeated in the war and fell into the enemy country. When the emperor heard the news, he did not try to rescue him, but directly executed the entire Earl's family. Although Fu Guiyun survived, he was looked down upon. It took him many twists and turns to reunite with Song Weizhao.

It was because she accompanied Song Weizhao through his wanderings, compromised in every way, worked hard for him, and helped him every step of the way, that he achieved this unprecedented glory.

But she doesn't want to dream about the sadness of that life again.

Without love, there is no heart.

In this life, Fu Guiyun only wants to be a noblewoman living in peace in a corner.

The prince's pair of ready-made children saved her the trouble of continuing the family line.

Don’t get involved in any competition for favor or love.

Looking at Fu Ping calmly, Fu Guiyun closed her eyes and replied, "My daughter is willing to marry into the Liyang Palace."

Hearing this, everyone in the room looked over with joy.

Fu Ping, who originally had a gloomy face, was also shocked and looked at her in disbelief: "Gui Yun, are you...really willing to marry into the Liyang Palace?"

"Ah."

Fu Guiyun nodded slightly and answered straightforwardly.

"The Lu family is the most aristocratic family in Jiangzuo, enjoying eight hundred years of glory. Prince Liyang is the only prince of a different surname in our dynasty, and he is extremely noble. He is humble enough to come to our Fu family three times to propose marriage, which shows how much he values ​​our Fu family. How can I, as a daughter, let my father disappoint Prince Liyang's heart?"

With his eyes slightly lowered, Fu Guiyun looked back at Fu Ping.

"Besides, the family is in great trouble right now. How can I, your daughter, only care about my own honor and put the whole family in danger?"

At the critical moment, the sharp contrast between the two sisters made everyone in the room feel a strong hatred for Fu Yuanshu's crying, and instead they had a better impression of this eldest lady who was usually neglected.

Fu Ping was in tears and stood up with a surging heart and walked directly to Fu Guiyun.

Looking back on the many experiences over the years, although my second wife, Mrs. Pu, was also a virtuous and sensible person, she was inevitably biased occasionally and had to be considerate in every detail.

Fortunately, the eldest daughter has always been a sensible person and is willing to make concessions.

Fu Ping excitedly held his eldest daughter's shoulders, and said loudly with a feeling of distress and guilt:

"Guiyun, you are really a good daughter to your father. It is you who saved the Fu family. Your father will definitely make arrangements for your mother to marry you off to the Liyang Palace with great fanfare. You will never be wronged again."

"Thank you father."

Fu Guiyun smiled indifferently, thinking it was just a joke.

Even in his own home, a father cannot guarantee that his daughter will not be wronged, let alone in a mansion as large as the Liyang Palace.

She has long believed that destiny is in her own hands.

Just at this moment, a bloated middle-aged woman rushed in in a panic and said in a hurry:

"Master, the lady has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for a day and a night, and has not eaten anything so far. I have tried to persuade her for a long time, but she just said that she was not a good parent and wanted to kneel in the ancestral hall to die so that she could apologize to the ancestors. She refused to come out. Master, please go and take a look."

Hearing the voice, Fu Ping's thick eyebrows trembled and he closed his eyes, a trace of pity flashing through his heart.

After sorting out his thoughts, he patted Fu Guiyun's shoulder and said softly, "Let Cuiluo take you back to your room to rest first. Your father and your mother will come to see you later."

After saying this, he led his people away in a hurry.

Watching the crowd of people in the room disappear quickly before his eyes, Fu Guiyun was about to move when a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"I would like to congratulate you on finally getting your wish and marrying into a wealthy family."

Fu Guiyun looked back and saw Fu Yuanshu slowly standing up and staring at him with a forced smile.

The compliment was insincere, and the deep eyes were filled with a sense of ridicule for life after seeing through everything, which made people feel more and more disgusted the more they looked at it.

"Then I also wish my sister's dream will come true soon, and she and Young Master Song will be together for the rest of her life."

Fu Guiyun pretended not to understand, replied in a faint tone, and left with Cuiluo.

Watching her walk away, Fu Yuanshu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth to reveal a sinister smile.

"Does this silly sister really think she has got a very prestigious marriage?"

Although she had earned a reputation of being ignorant in front of her father today, her unhappiness instantly disappeared when she thought about how her elder sister would be irritated by those bitches in the palace in the future, and that she would eventually become the empress dowager with utmost power.
