Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

When she regained consciousness, she was struggling with a confused mind, and she could hear:

"Princess Di, wake up..."

"Hanhuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister, wake up."

"Roufu, please don't be in any trouble..."

In an instant, it was as if hundreds of voices drilled into her ears, and Ting He had a splitting headache as she accepted the original owner's memories.

Her original name was Zhao Duofu. She was the 20th daughter of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and was given the title of Princess Roufu.

Being born into a royal family was a rare blessing for a princess, but as soon as it was said that the emperor's name was Zhao Ji, everything became different.

Being the daughter of Zhao Ji is simply unlucky for eight lifetimes, and marrying into the Song family and becoming a wife of the Song family is even more unlucky for eighteen lifetimes.

Zhao Ji, originally a carefree prince, was suddenly helped to ascend the throne. He wanted to develop the Song Dynasty well, but was constantly held back. He had the ability, but he had no ability at all. He could only watch the Liao people bully him, and watch the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun being unable to be taken back no matter what. He also watched the Song Dynasty being wantonly bullied by the Jin soldiers under his hands. All this was not only due to the incompetence of the Song Dynasty in its early period, but also due to Zhao Ji's weakness and gullibility.

Zhao Ji was good at calligraphy and painting, and he created the Slender Gold style. The calligraphy and paintings he created have high research value in later generations.

But his ability as an emperor was far less impressive than his cultural accomplishment. His talent and learning were highly respected at the time, but his thoughts and opinions never transcended the limitations of the times.

Unfortunately, he failed to fully utilize his strengths in the role of emperor. He often felt overwhelmed when faced with complex political situations and state affairs. If his cultural attainments were like bright stars, then his path to becoming emperor was full of ups and downs.

This man was obviously only good at writing, but he insisted on boasting that he could be a good emperor who defended the city. He liked to play power games, causing treacherous people to run rampant in the court.

Since Shi Jingtang of the Later Tang Dynasty offered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, no one has been able to take them back. The Song Dynasty, which had lost half of its territory, was like a broken barrier with its doors wide open. It was first bullied by the Liao Kingdom, and then cooperated with the Jin people to destroy the Liao Kingdom. Then it was invaded by the Jin people again. Even the surrounding nomadic peoples would send troops to invade from time to time.

The Song Dynasty was surrounded by enemies all over the world and struggled to survive.

In the first year of the Jing Kang period, the Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang for the second time. The Jin soldiers attacked the city fiercely, and Bianliang fell into war. The people suffered from the war.

When the Jin army was at the gates of the city and the situation was critical, Song Huizong was forced to abdicate the throne to Song Qinzong.

At that time, Bianliang was facing tremendous pressure from the Jin soldiers. In order to shirk responsibility and ease the crisis, Song Huizong chose to abdicate, hoping that Song Qinzong could lead the Song Dynasty to deal with the difficulties. However, this abdication did not change the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the second year of the Jing Kang period, the Jin army broke into Bian Jing like hungry wolves, and this once prosperous city was instantly reduced to ruins.

During this time of war and chaos, Emperors Huizong and Qinzong, their graceful concubines, innocent and lovely princes and princesses, as well as numerous royal relatives, ministers and their families, about 3,000 people, were forcibly escorted like prisoners to the distant and cold Jin land in the north.

During this chaotic time, the Jin soldiers took hundreds of thousands of Song Dynasty civilians and all the gold, silver and treasures in the city with them and marched northward in a mighty force. In a short time, the Song Dynasty city was broken and all the property in Bianjing was looted.

The women in the Song Dynasty were extremely pitiful. Nine out of ten of them became prostitutes. Not only did they lose their reputation, but they also lost their lives.

In the second year of the Jing Kang reign (1127), the Jin army demanded from the Song Dynasty million taels of gold, million taels of silver, cattle and horses, million rolls of silk, etc., and required Emperors Hui and Qin to collect the sum within ten days.

If this could not be done, they would demand that the Song Dynasty pay with human lives. They even produced a list of all royal family members, which included names, ages, titles and official positions, and demanded that if the Song Dynasty could not pay with money and property, it would pay with human lives.

Emperors Huizong and Qinzong were unable to produce any valuables, so they had to lead their concubines, princesses, princes, palace maids, and royal ladies out of the city to the camp set up by the Jin army.

The former princesses and empresses had now become prostitutes as their country was destroyed and their families were ruined. They were distributed among the Jin army generals like goods and were tortured and ravaged. After just over ten days, many concubines and princesses died tragically.

Princess Roufu, the 20th daughter of Emperor Huizong, was originally named Zhao Duofu. She luckily survived the catastrophe and then followed the Jin army northward. After suffering hardships, she arrived in the Jin Kingdom. However, she was not chosen by Emperor Taizong of Jin, Wanyan Wuqimai, and was assigned to the laundry house.

During the day, they soaked in cold water to wash clothes and quilts for the Jin people, but late at night they had to endure the humiliating torture of the Jin people.

The laundry house was actually not just a place for washing clothes, but a unique place of entertainment in the Jin Dynasty, similar to a brothel.

Being tortured in the laundry house every day made Zhao Duofu want to commit suicide several times, but he was worried about his mother and sister, so he had to live in humiliation.

The Jin army was unkind to these princesses of the Song Dynasty. After death, the concubines and princesses who committed suicide would be hung at the door of the laundry house with their clothes stripped off and watched by the crowd. The family members of the dead women would also be bullied even more severely.

Zhao Duofu almost tried to commit suicide but was stopped. In order to save the princess's dignity and her family, she had no choice but to compromise and live in this cannibalistic laundry house.

One day, King Gaitian Wanyan Zongxian came and saw the tenacious Roufu, so he decided to marry her and let her live a good life for a few days. Roufu did not flatter Wanyan Zongxian because of the change in her living environment. Soon Wanyan Zongxian felt that Roufu was boring, so he raised his hand and gave Roufu to Xu Huan, a Han Chinese from Wuguo City.

Two years after the marriage, the Han Chinese Xu Huandu gave Princess Roufu due respect, knowing that she was devoted to the Song Dynasty. When the city was broken, the Northern Song regime collapsed. Deji, the ninth son of Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture, changed the era name to Jianyan, and established the Southern Song Dynasty.

Xu also kept it a secret from everyone in Wuguo City and the Jin Dynasty's rulers, and resolutely let Princess Roufu escape. He also sent his servant to protect her, and finally in the fifth year of Jing Kang (the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, 1130), he successfully sent Princess Roufu out of the Jin Dynasty.

On the way, Princess Roufu encountered robbers and was captured and taken to the bandit's lair. Her servant was killed. She met Li Jingshan, who was captured from the nunnery and became the wife of the mountain stronghold. The two became secret friends because of their similar appearance and personality.

After learning about the identity of Princess Roufu and everything about her, Li Jingshan became good friends with her. Later, when the Southern Song army was suppressing bandits, the bandits' families were considered to be equally guilty.

In order to escape punishment, Li Jingshan persuaded Princess Roufu to reveal her identity, and wanted to go to Lin'an with her.

Unexpectedly, on the way, some Jin soldiers discovered the truth about Princess Roufu's escape, and sent people to capture her. In order to repay Princess Roufu for rescuing her from the bandits' lair, Li Jingshan was abducted again by the Jin soldiers in the identity of Princess Roufu, and was humiliated to death by the Jin soldiers on the way.

Princess Roufu was grateful for Li Jingshan's great kindness, so she kept the matter in mind. Accompanied by the Song government army, she came to Lin'an to meet her half-brother, Zhao Gou.
