The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Generally speaking, in the Dasheng Dynasty, from the royal family to the common people, they would wait until their children were three years old and not die before giving them a name, determining their age sequence, and entering them into the family tree.

Children under the age of three usually only have a nickname for their elders, relatives and friends to call them. If a child dies before the age of three, according to the current public opinion, the child is here to collect debts. In order to avoid being reincarnated by a debt collector ghost, and to warn this kind of ghost that only makes parents suffer but is not filial, not to be reincarnated in their own family, those children who died at the age of three can basically only be put in a small box and buried in a random piece of land, as if they had never been born, and they cannot receive incense from future generations.

The fourth prince died at the age of three, before he could even be named. Although no royal heir had ever fallen to the point of being put in a small box and buried anywhere, the fourth prince was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, nor was he worshipped by the royal family. And it was for this reason that Concubine Chen became more and more convinced of the Buddhist theory of merit and reincarnation. She only hoped that as a mother, she would serve the Buddha devoutly enough so that the fourth prince would not become a wandering ghost, but would be reincarnated as soon as possible and have a good rebirth in the next life.

There are exceptions to everything.

There are also parents who value their children so much that they will give them a name before they are born and add them to the family tree as soon as the child is born. Even if the child unfortunately dies young, they will still think about adopting descendants for the child to enjoy incense and offerings.

Xie Yuzhen asked Li Zong to put the tray on the low table in front of him. On one side of the tray were several Chinese characters for "Fu" neatly arranged, and on the other side were two-character names of people carefully selected by the emperor.

"Daoxuan." Xie Yuzhen picked up the first piece of red paper.

Li Zong immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty said that in the Tao Te Ching, the Valley Spirit is immortal, and is the Mysterious Female. The gate of the Mysterious Female is the root of heaven and earth. The Valley Spirit is the Tao, and the Tao is the mother of the world. Your Highness is the reincarnation of the Mysterious Female, and you are also the daughter of an emperor born on golden branches and jade leaves. This name is appropriate for both of them, and it also contains the true nature... I don't really understand these things, I just think this name is grand."

Xie Yuzhen smiled and didn't comment. Instead, he put this one down, looked at it carefully for a few times, and picked out another one: "Then what does this one mean?"

The emperor had thought carefully about each and every name. Before Li Zong came to Shouning Palace, he was tested by the emperor to make sure that he could repeat it word for word before sending him over.

Li Zong raised his eyes slightly and saw the word "Yuan Jun". He immediately smiled more flatteringly: "This one, His Majesty told me to tell you that most of the Taoist temples in Dasheng now worship the goddess Xuan Nu and praise her as the great emperor of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Yuan Nu. But in the royal family, there is another name for the Great Heavenly Lord of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Ancestor Yuan Jun. This name was passed down by the ancestors of the Lu family before they got the throne. I don't know the reason why."

The monarchs of every dynasty were more or less associated with some mysterious gods and goddesses. Xie Yuzhen just thought that there was some secret related to Xuannv passed down within the Lu family and did not think much about it. Instead, he felt that he was indeed a person favored by destiny. The emperor chose such a good background for his daughter. No wonder he was so happy when he knew it.

Let go of the word "Yuan Jun".

Xie Yuzhen glanced over and pointed at one of them with a raised eyebrow: "These two words are very rare."

"Yanci, why do you look familiar?"

She looked at Li Zong, waiting for his explanation.

"To answer your question, these two characters refer to the Xuan Emperor Su Nu, the mother of Emperor Sui, Yan Zishi, in ancient times. There is also a legend that Yan Zishi is the reincarnation of the Xuan Nu Niangniang. Your Majesty also said that if there is no accident, the Niangniang will give birth in January or February. Sui Renshi is also the flower god of the apricot blossoms in February. Naming the little prince Yan Zi is not an offense to the immortals and gods."

Xie Yuzhen had not read this part of the book yet, and only had a slight impression of it. When he heard what Li Zong said, he suddenly realized it, so he pointed to another name and asked, "Then the word 'Weiyuan (pronounced: Yuan)' is taken from Ziweiyuan?"

Ziweiyuan is the North Star, also known as the Purple Palace and Yinde Star. According to legend, it was designed by Yanzi Xuannv herself and hung in the center of the north sky of the divine realm, on par with Taiweiyuan and Tianshiyuan. It is extremely precious.

These are all good names with meaningful meanings. Xie Yuzhen really can't pick out which one is the best.

She even secretly wondered if the emperor also found it difficult to choose a name, so he chose one and threw them all to her while the emperor went away to have some free time.

【system. 】

Xie Yuzhen's long-awaited call made the dream-making system startled: [Woof! Master, I'm here! ]

[You...] Xie Yuzhen originally wanted to ask the system what his daughter's name was according to the records of later generations. But then he remembered what Tiandao said that day, that the fate of this world had been disrupted. Suddenly, he felt that there was no need for him to ask this time. How future generations would record it was their business. If everything had to be compared with the records of future generations, there would inevitably be the danger of going astray. It was better to let nature take its course.

Anyway.

Destiny is on the side of mother and daughter.

Xie Wei really only thought about it for a few breaths, and gave up the idea of ​​letting the dream system reveal the future to him: [Forget it, have you digested your dark accomplice? ]

The dream-making system felt strange, but it didn't dare to say anything more, and only replied obediently: [Just a little bit more. ]

The main reason is that this Crow Mouth System is too unethical, its functions are quite unique and sinister, and it is not very compatible with the dream system program.

[Its functions are not easy to disassemble or install, but Tongzi will try his best! ] The dream-making system straightened its nonexistent chest, [Master, rest assured, Tongzi guarantees that it will be taken down in three days! ]

[Just know how to work hard.] Xie Yuzhen praised her in a half-hearted way.

The dream-making system was so moved that it was about to shed non-existent tears - after seeing two of its colleagues being killed easily in succession, it almost frightened itself to death without Xie Yuzhen having to do it himself.

Fortunately.

The dream-making system once again thanked its own emotional intelligence module that surpassed other systems.

He said excitedly: [Although it has not been fully loaded yet, according to Tongzi's speculation, after this evil thing's ability is devoured by Tongzi, it will change from a curse to bad luck. Although it can no longer specify a person's bad luck, it can make a person continue to be unlucky.]

[Hmm?] Xie Yu was really interested, [Then when you are better, let me know.]

[Yes! Master!] The dream-making system usually kept its chatterbox mouth shut for fear of disturbing Xie Yuzhen if it spoke, and would never speak unless Xie Yuzhen called out to it.

at last!

The master finally allowed Tongzi to call her on his own initiative!

The small ball of light happily floated out in the shape of an "M". Xie Yuzhen shook her head and ignored it, continuing to stare at the names on the tray with a headache. Finally, she picked out the ones she liked and burned the rest directly, not caring how precious the emperor's calligraphy was. She put the ones that were not burned back on the tray and asked Li Zong to send them back.

"Tell your majesty, I am not very knowledgeable and I think they are all good. I really can't pick one."
