The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Because I felt that the logic seemed to have some problems, I made some changes to the content of the previous two chapters. I changed the story that Lin Qiao's mother died of childbirth complications to that she died of illness when Lin Qiao was young. I also made some changes to the age of Lin's father.

————————————————The following is the main text——————————————————

【and.】

Xie Yuzhen curled up his toes uncomfortably: [Is it not the right time for this person to come to this world? ]

According to the description in this "copy", when Fu Qingsu became Lin's father's concubine, Lin Qiao was still very young, but now Lin Qiao is already eighteen years old!

[Besides, what's the point of marrying a prince to become the queen? Even if it's the eldest prince, he's only nine years old this year! ]

[I don’t think it’s wrong for the woman to be twice as old as the man in a marriage, but given the emperor’s temper, he would never be willing to marry his son to a wife who is nine years older than him…]

[Forget it, it's just a made-up storybook, I shouldn't have been so stubborn.] Xie Yuzhen struggled for a while and then figured it out, [The "plot" that comes with her will gradually assimilate everyone around her into the "plot". My good "brother" must not be turned into a child by her, otherwise all the hard work of studying for more than ten years will be in vain?]

The more Xie Yuzhen thought about it, the more restless he became.

Although Lin Qiao is very capable, it is obvious that the Lin family cannot give her any help.

As for his family, it was the Lin family that had a previous relationship with Lin Qiao. As they were both relatively few relatives to each other, Xie Yuzhen felt that there was still a great possibility that he could win over Lin Qiao.

According to the dream description, Lin Qiao was the first female minister in history to stand openly in the court.

And his daughter was also the first female emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty, unprecedented and inspiring others to come.

They should have a relationship between a monarch and his subjects.

What's more, he is the only person the Xie family can rely on now. His maternal family has long disappeared. It's not easy for Lin's mother's family to have a promising person. How can Xie Yu really be willing to let him go?

Just when Xie Yuzhen was thinking about how to legitimately intervene in the Lin family affairs, Zaomeng spoke again: [Master, you don’t know that in those later fan fictions, no, storybooks, in order to make the existence and emotional experience of the protagonist more reasonable, it is very common to modify the target character’s age. ]

[Although Lin Qiao's father is only a minor official now, his work "Bone Examination Records" has been passed down to later generations and has become an indispensable book in the history of forensic medicine. So for some people, although Father Lin is not as good as his daughter in many aspects, he still has some charm... um, he is still quite attractive. ]

[But Lin Qiao was born late. When her mother passed away, her father was already in his thirties. This age is a bit... old in the eyes of some people in later generations, so many fan fictions, ahem, storybooks will manually reduce his age...]

[And according to what I just detected, although this time traveler carries the "plot", the time she came is not right, and Lin Qiao's position in history is quite special, so she cannot be affected by the "plot" in a short period of time.]

Dreaming stretched out several small claws from his chubby body and gestured towards Xie Yuzhen: [In this way, the "plot" will be impacted by the reality that has become an established fact. In order to make sense, the "plot" will become chaotic and produce uncontrollable logical errors. ]

Linjiazhuang.

Sitting in the bridal chamber, Fu Qingsu compared the plot with the novel she knew, and looked at the bright red and gold wedding dress with black lining with some helplessness. She didn't understand why she, who was obviously a concubine brought here for good fortune, wore such a grand wedding dress that was so inconsistent with her understanding of ancient times, and she didn't even cover her head with a veil. The servants who came and went also acted as if they were very familiar with her, calling her Madam.

But when she looked at her face in the mirror again, she was clearly still a young girl of 29, the age when she was just sent to be a concubine. How come the plot development was like the time when the original heroine was made the legal wife by Lin's father because she was pregnant?

Oh my god.

Could it be that I have to become a mother at the age of eighteen?

She covered her stomach in panic but found no signs of bulge.

Just when Fu Qingsu felt strange, a little maid lifted the door curtain and came in, her face full of joy: "Madam, the young master is back, the master is calling you to the front yard!"

"This... isn't good?" Fu Qingsu couldn't figure out the situation. Her memory before today was still stuck on the time when her family after traveling through time sent her, who was born with good fortune, to be Lin Qiao's father's concubine at the request of Lin Qiao.

Fu Qingsu, who didn't understand why the plot changed from a wedding to a marriage in the blink of an eye, was nervous and asked the maid tentatively: "I... although I can't be considered a new bride, how can I show my face in front of the men..."

The little maid was stunned for a moment: "Madam... everyone is in the front. The master said that we are all from the same village and don't care about those rules. Although men and women don't sit at the same table, the seats are not separated. They are all in the front."

The customs in Dasheng are open-minded. The bride does not wear a veil when she gets married. She only uses a wedding fan to cover half of her face. After completing the ceremony with the groom, she is not allowed to run into the house and squat alone, but has to help others greet the guests.

Except for some pedantic old families who have the rule that newlyweds must be respectful and not show their faces casually, most other families do not pay attention to this. At most, they set up separate banquets for men and women, one in the front yard and the other in the back yard. The groom goes to the front yard to toast, while the bride goes to the backyard with her mother-in-law to recognize people and entertain the female relatives who come to watch the ceremony.

Fu Qingsu only remembered the "plot in the book". Although she liked "Lim Guan Eng" in various works very much, sympathized with her hard work as a pioneer, and felt distressed for her loss of her mother in childhood and her father in adulthood, but to ask how much Fu Qingsu knew about the dynasty in which "Lim Guan Eng" really existed... that would be a bit too difficult for her.

Fu Qingsu, who had only a vague understanding of this era, did not notice the flaws in her memory - if she had really traveled through time and space and lived here for eighteen years, how could she be so ignorant of the local customs and habits?

Feeling uneasy, Fu Qingsu said nothing more and followed the maid out of the bedroom.

As she walked, she was thinking, although she didn't know why she jumped directly to the plot of promotion, but her age was correct, so the age of Lin the coroner should be the same as what was written in the book, right?

Historical records show that "Lin Guan Eng" was a woman of outstanding beauty. Although his father's appearance was not recorded, most of the fans who married him as his second wife said that he was very handsome. The story in Fu Qingsu's memory was naturally the same. In addition, the age of Lin Guan Eng was deliberately lowered to avoid the difference between the old man and the young wife being too big, and the man being too old and not cool enough...

Fu Qingsu came out of the bedroom and looked up to see a man standing in the crowd. He was a little thin but tall and straight.

The man's profile when he turned around was very handsome and youthful, with a straight but not sharp nose. Even the edges of his face from the side to the jaw revealed an indescribable gentleness.

Fu Qingsu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that she hadn't seen the child today, she asked the little maid next to her, "Where's the young master?"
