The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

At the end of August, on the 30th, the Queen Mother officially announced the news that Xu Xiaoyi had changed her name and surname, and all kinds of information in the palace had been completely changed.

In addition, the queen reiterated to everyone what crimes the former Marquis of Jingjun, now the Earl of Shunyi, and his family had committed and what punishments they had received. She used this incident to warn all the concubines in the harem to strictly discipline their maternal family members.

The incident happened so long ago that the concubines whose families had some influence in the capital have more or less figured out the whole story. Even the families of several concubines were involved in the Shuiyue Temple case and their families have been reprimanded.

In Kunning Palace.

Xu Xiaoyi sat in her seat obediently. The white gauze wrapped around her forehead made her look even more sickly and pitiful.

Shen Xiaoyi happened to be sitting on her left, looking over there unconcealedly - she hadn't been able to see Xu Xiaoyi in the past ten days, because the incident of being reprimanded by the emperor in the bamboo forest was spread by Meng Ronghua, and her contact with Wang Xuanshi was not smooth.

Go round and round.

Shen Xiaoyi had no choice but to come back to find Xu Xiaoyi.

[Although she suddenly distanced herself from me for some unknown reason, she is probably the only one in the palace who has the best impression of me, except for that bitch Shen Huiwan.]

The favorability detection function of the Crow's Mouth system is broken.

Its most important function was well preserved, but it consumed too much energy each time it was used. Its condition was very poor, and it was already stretched to the limit just to keep the program running every day. If it weren't for the constant influx of energy, it would have been forced to shut down now...

[Ding——It’s up to the host to decide. 】

The Crow's Mouth System is just a system. It does not really understand the twists and turns in people's minds. When the Lord God created it, he did not give it too many computing programs to simulate human emotions. All it wants now is to do tasks, complete tasks, and then go back to report.

But...it's been a long time since I've been able to contact the Lord God.

The Crow's Mouth System felt that it should be sad now, but it didn't understand what sadness was.

[Ding——The system reminds the host that the system energy is limited. Please carefully select the target of the curse. Please rescue the target in time after an accident in order to gain favorability. ]

[Ding——The system strongly disapproves of the host's behavior of wasting opportunities last time. According to the system's calculations, given the host's current situation, gaining the favor of the human female will bring the greatest long-term benefits compared to the human male.]

[I didn’t…not expect that.] Shen Xiaoyi was a little upset.

She didn't expect that although she succeeded in sleeping with the emperor early, the emperor did not fall in love with her.

Do I have to endure several years like in my previous life before I can gain the favor of His Majesty?

But it was obvious that when she was getting along with the emperor in this life, the situation was no different from that in her previous life. His Majesty was still as gentle and taciturn. He didn't like to talk to her, and she also enjoyed the quiet time together.

Shen Xiaoyi couldn't figure out what was wrong. She stared at Xu Xiaoyi and asked the system in her mind: [Am I really the woman His Majesty loves the most? ]

She doesn't even dare to say it's true love.

If Shen Xiaoyi still had some violent impulse in her heart when she was reborn, then after suffering setbacks one after another, her innate inferiority complex came flooding back and made it impossible for her to remain so firm.

[Drip - According to historical materials, novels, operas, and various film and television contents compiled by later generations, the host is indeed the true love of Emperor Qiyuan that he loves in his heart but cannot express. ]

Hearing the system say this, Shen Xiaoyi's shaky confidence became more stable. Although she didn't quite understand what the system said, there was only one thing she truly understood - people in later generations greatly affirmed the emperor's love for her, and even wrote a drama script for it, which will be passed down through the ages.

When Shen Xiaoyi saw Xu Xiaoyi being called forward by the Queen, her serious face became gentle, and she was rewarded with many jewelry and brocades, Shen Xiaoyi's jealousy rose again: [What about Xu? How did later generations record her? ]

Xu... Although I don't know why this life is different from the previous one, she is a vicious woman who is good at stepping on others to get to the top and dares to poison her eldest sister. Although she burned herself in the cold palace, it was a strong act that proved her nobleness, and it was much more decent than her death.

Presumably, future generations will record the emperor's true love while also giving her some criticism of the vicious woman.

Shen Xiaoyi kept telling herself that she was the emperor's true love...she must be the emperor's true love!

[Drip——According to records, the Emperor's Consort Xu, whose name was Yueyuan, died in the 17th year of Qiyuan at the age of 19. She was given the title of Consort De and buried in Yuanling.]

[According to the Records of the Great Sheng Dynasty, the death of Concubine Xu De was related to the impersonation case of the Marquis of Jing County. She poisoned Liu Shuyi to avenge her biological mother, and then committed suicide by drinking poison. When Emperor Qiyuan heard about it, he was furious. When he searched the Marquis of Jing County, he also discovered various evil deeds of the nobles in the capital. This was called the Great Purge in the 17th Year of Qiyuan.]

【Emperor Qiyuan was impressed by Xu's filial piety and loyalty, and posthumously awarded her the title of Defei, and ordered her to change back to her original name.】

[It is said among the people that Concubine Xu De was delicate in appearance but strong in character, and was extremely filial to her mother. People also lamented that Concubine Xu died at the age of only nineteen, so some scholars wrote books and biographies about her, calling her Lady Dexiao.]

Shen Xiaoyi was stunned after hearing this.

[But didn’t you say that I was the emperor’s true love? Why didn’t I receive a posthumous title? Why didn’t they write a book about me?]

[Ding——The emperor deliberately concealed your name in order to protect you and prevent you from being disturbed by the world after your death. After the Great Prosperity, many writers wrote biographical novels based on you.]

[The host is the true love that Emperor Qiyuan loves in his heart but cannot express, and Concubine Xu De is the most stunning meteor-like true love in Emperor Qiyuan's life.]

Shen Xiaoyi was completely stunned.

The Crow Mouth System could not understand the various entanglements in her heart: [However, history has changed. As long as the host makes good use of the functions of this system and obtains the recognition of others, you can also change your fate of early death and become the only and true lover of Emperor Qiyuan! ]

Listening to the strange yet calm voice of the system, Shen Xiaoyi, after her initial surprise and disbelief, gradually forced herself to calm down, and she began to comfort herself again.

The emperor is rich and powerful; he is the Son of Heaven. Of course he can have several true loves in his heart at the same time.

Although she kept repeating this in her mind in an attempt to convince herself, Shen Xiaoyi still wanted to know how many true loves the emperor had, and how many women she would have to fight with before she could achieve the final victory... She took several deep breaths before she calmed herself down completely.

[Of course I will be your Majesty's only true love! ]

If she was not the emperor's true love from the beginning, then all the suffering she had endured in the cold palace, the oppression by Shen Huiwan and the Yuyang Marquis' Mansion, and the aborted child... all these sources of her resentment would become an untenable joke!
