After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!

Since the last banquet, I have not lived at home. I went directly to my grandfather's house and did not stay at home to be a light bulb for Luo Qingqing and Wen Yiheng.

I wanted to go home during the Double Ninth Festival. I should spend this kind of festival with my parents.

But I didn't expect that Concubine Wang would actually summon me to the palace. Wang Chun summoned me to the palace, which was something I had never done in my previous life. I didn't know what Wang Chun was thinking, but I knew I had to go.

If I don't go now, I will be accused of disobeying the emperor's order. Wang Chun is still quite favored in front of the emperor. No one wants to offend the emperor's favorite.

I was in the Prime Minister's Residence when I received the order from Wang Chun to enter the palace. Luo Qingqing was also in the courtyard at that time. When Luo Qingqing saw Wang Chun recruiting me into the palace, she had a gloating expression on her face.

In front of her, I had never had any contact with Wang Chun. Luo Qingqing felt that Wang Chun summoned me to the palace to embarrass me. If he wanted to reward me, he would naturally carry the reward directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why did he need to summon me to the palace again?

After hearing this, Luo Wenqian pointed at me and said, "Qingqing, did you upset Concubine Wang there? Otherwise, why did she summon you to the palace? Did you offend Concubine Wang or her family when you were in Dingwang Mansion?"

I looked at Luo Wenqian, and walked forward step by step and said: "Father, this Concubine Wang has only summoned me to the palace. She didn't say whether she would reward me or punish me. Father, you first accused me of a crime? Father, do you think that I am so ignorant of etiquette that I don't know Concubine Wang's status and would provoke her? Or in your eyes, I, your daughter, have long been useless."

Just as Wang Chun was about to speak, the old nanny beside him walked up to Luo Wenqian and said, "Prime Minister Luo, whether our imperial concubine summoned Miss to receive a reward or a punishment, we, the personal servants, don't know. If the prime minister said so, do you think our imperial concubine is spoiled, spoiled and willful? If others hear it, they will say that our imperial concubine has such a bad character!"

When Luo Wenqian heard what the nanny said, he immediately greeted her with a smile, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean that. It's just that my daughter has no contact with Concubine Wang. Now Concubine Wang suddenly summoned her to the palace. I'm afraid that my rebellious daughter has offended Concubine Wang."

The nanny was not someone who could be easily bullied, so she also bowed to Luo Wenqian. Then she continued, "If you offend me, the imperial concubine will have you go to the palace to be punished. Outsiders will probably think that our imperial concubine is so stingy! I know that the prime minister loves his daughter dearly, but if rumors start to spread before she even enters the palace, I'm afraid that the grace of the prime minister's mansion will be lost."

Wang Yuyuan just watched from the side. She knew that I was not a troublemaker, and Concubine Wang was not such a petty and jealous person. Although she didn't know why Wang Chun summoned me to the palace, she knew it was definitely not to punish me.

Wang Yuyuan immediately came out to smooth things over, saying, "Mammy, you've come all the way here with all the trouble. The Prime Minister loves his daughter very much. I hope you won't mind. I don't know the palace rules, and if I'm impolite in front of the imperial concubine, I hope you'll say a few good words to her!" Then she took out a handful of golden melon seeds from her bag and stuffed them into the mammy's hand.

Mammy looked at the golden melon seeds in her hand and smiled happily. She didn't want to waste any more time here, as Concubine Wang was also waiting to go back and report.

Then the maid said to me: "Miss, please follow me into the palace. Don't delay the time."

I nodded, then got on the sedan chair sent by Concubine Wang and went to Concubine Wang's palace. When we got to the palace, I gave Madam a hairpin, which was also worth a lot of money.

I smiled and said to the maid: "Mammy, thank you for coming to the mansion to pick me up today. This is a token of my appreciation. If I offend the imperial concubine later, please remember to plead for me."

The nanny held the hairpin and said, "Miss, you don't have to be so polite. Our imperial concubine is still waiting in the palace. Go over quickly. It's not a bad thing."

I nodded and walked towards Wang Chun's palace. Wang Chun was a little excited to see me. Just as I was about to salute, Wang Chun immediately pressed my hand and said, "It's a bit abrupt to summon you to the palace today. You don't have to salute me. I just hope I didn't disturb you." Then, Wang Chun dismissed the servants who were serving him.

I stood up and looked at Wang Chun, my eyes misty. I replied to Wang Chun: "Excuse me, Your Majesty. I have nothing to do at home, so there is nothing to disturb you. I just don't know why Your Majesty summoned me to the palace today."

Wang Chun pulled me to sit on a chair, poured me another cup of tea and said, "Nothing happened. It's just that this palace is too boring. There is no one to talk to. At the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I felt that you and I had a good relationship, so I summoned you to the palace to accompany me. You don't have to call me the concubine, you call yourself a minister. Now there is no concubine or young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion. There is only you and me."

I was frightened by Wang Chun's behavior. If ordinary people entered the palace and became imperial concubines, they would naturally show off and put on airs. I didn't expect Wang Chun to be like this, without any intention of putting on airs.

I tried hard to search for memories of her past life in my mind, but it seemed that there were no significant memories.

She only vaguely remembered that after Wen Yiheng became emperor, she had basically nothing to do and had been staying in this palace with the green lamps and the ancient Buddhas.

When I looked at Wang Chun, I felt that even though she was a royal concubine, she was still a very simple girl.

I nodded stiffly, and then stiffly held the teacup and drank tea. Wang Chun asked me: "Your cousin is not a good person. Did she cause you trouble after you returned home?"

I shook my head and said, "No. After I returned, I went to Prince Ding's Mansion, where my grandfather taught me martial arts. So she couldn't find fault with me."

Wang Chun also nodded and said: "It seems that you are quite smart. You know to stay away from her. It is definitely not good to get close to her. Her eyes are full of desire for power, and you can tell that she is a ruthless character."

I didn't want to say bad things about others behind their backs, so I changed the subject and asked, "How do you feel about staying in this palace?"

Hearing this, Wang Chun immediately smiled bitterly, then tugged at his clothes and said: "I am just a substitute for someone else in this palace. I can't be myself. I am favored because I look like the late queen, but at the same time, I must also learn the late queen's etiquette. The emperor wants me to walk and eat like the late queen. I am just a substitute!"

I felt very sympathetic towards Wang Chun when I heard this. In my previous life, I thought Luo Qingqing was my substitute, but I never thought that I was actually Luo Qingqing's substitute. Thinking about how after I married Wen Yiheng, he always forced me to eat dishes I didn't like, calling them nutritious, just to get used to the life with Luo Qingqing as soon as possible.

My father asked me to learn poetry and songs, and to put on makeup that didn't suit me, all just to make me become Luo Qingqing. When Luo Qingqing felt the time was right, it was time for me, the stand-in, to leave.

I know how bitter this feeling is, but the only thing that makes Wang Chun better than me is that the real owner is not around. As long as she is willing, there will be a day when she can get through it.

I comforted Wang Chun and said, "Be a substitute. As long as the real master appears, the substitute will leave. Although you are a substitute now, you still have a chance. You can live without love, but without power in this deep palace, you will really die."

Wang Chun said with tears in his eyes: "I know all this. I now represent not only myself, but also the glory of the Wang family. But I am so scared, I am so scared that one day I will brainwash myself. I will really become her as I learn.

The emperor gave me the love he had for the late queen, and that love was really good. He let me play with whoever I wanted in this palace, and gave me all the rare treasures. Sometimes I would fall in love with this love that did not belong to me. I summoned you to the palace just to keep you company. I think if I had a friend, maybe it would remind me all the time that I am Wang Chun. "

Everyone can see how much the emperor loves the late queen. He has left the throne vacant for so many years, so he must love her deeply. Love means always wanting to give her the best things. Wang Chun is still a little girl, and her husband dotes on her so much, who wouldn't be moved?

But who knows if there will be another substitute who appears? If another substitute who is more similar appears, then what should she do?

I hugged Wang Chun and let her cry on my shoulder. When she was tired of crying, I slowly said: "You are addicted to the emperor's love, it's not your fault. As the master of the world, he is willing to do something for you. In the eyes of many little girls, they will fall. It's just that the foundation of this love is not on you, but on you as a substitute.

This love is wrong. If you meet someone who looks more like the previous queen in the future, what will you do? Not to mention the royal honor you carry. Take yourself for example. The servants in the harem are all opportunists. If you lose power in the future, then your food, clothing and expenses may all be reduced.

How can you survive in the palace? Other concubines have children to rely on. Now you don't have any children. If you can have a child, maybe it will be better. "

When Wang Chun heard about giving birth, she immediately shook her head and said, "The children of the royal family have no freedom. The marriage of the nobles is beyond their control. If they become the heirs of the royal family, their world will only be useful and without emotions. Boys will fight for the power to rule the world, and girls will only be sent to marry."

Indeed, the foundation of the Dayun Dynasty was unstable, and there were several neighboring small countries that were ready to make a move. The peace of the Dayun Dynasty depended half on the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, and the other half on the royal princesses going out to marry.

The people of those small countries were already dissatisfied with Dayun Dynasty, and the princess' marriage was a tool for them to vent their anger. Those people had no sympathy for women. Whenever a princess from Dayun Dynasty came, they would make her do all kinds of dirty and tiring work. They would even replace the princess's personal maids, and no one would go to see them.

The princesses were married far away. They had no time to return to Dayun Dynasty, so they had no chance to tell their sufferings. Some princesses even died two or three years after they were married.

Every time the emperor asked, the messengers would only say that they provided them with good food and drink, but the princesses were fragile and could not adapt to their life, which was why they died so young.

I looked at Wang Chun, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment. What Wang Chun said was a fact. It was just that the time in the deep palace was too long. If I didn't have a belief to support myself to live, I would definitely die very early.

I raised my hand to wipe the tears from Wang Chun's face and said, "The emperor is not young anymore. You are still young. What we need to do now is to take good care of our bodies. The fight between the princes will probably start soon. There will definitely be many princes who will come to you. Although they all have biological mothers, they also need your help. Stand in line when the time comes, and you will still have a chance to fight!"

Wang Chun himself knew that the emperor was in poor health and might not live for many more years. The solution I was thinking of was indeed a good one.

Wang Chun also knew my title of lucky star, so he said: "I have been studying the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child, so I naturally don't understand how to stand in line. I'm afraid I still need you to help me. I know you are very talented, you are different from women like me. I can only stay in this deep palace, but you, I think you can create a great achievement!"

I felt bad when I heard this, so I comforted her: "You are not bad in this deep palace. Not everyone is suitable for the battlefield, and not everyone is suitable for the deep palace. Each one is suitable, and each one can shine. The princesses who married into the royal family exchanged their lifelong happiness for the stability of the Dayun Dynasty. We can't deny their efforts just because they can only marry. Just be yourself."

After my advice, Wang Chun felt much better. The pressure in the palace was no less than that in the battlefield. They were role models for women all over the world. What they wore, what they ate, and what they used. Once they used it, everyone in the world began to imitate them.

Not only that, if they do something that is not in line with etiquette, they will be criticized, and their words and deeds will be magnified infinitely. So they can only force themselves to do more and more perfect.

After Wang Chun's mood improved, he asked the servants to bring the small cakes made by the imperial kitchen. I have to say they were really delicious. I ate many of them in one go.

Wang Chun watched me eat and tried to persuade me not to choke. I asked her if she wanted to eat anything so I could bring her some the next time I went to the palace.

Sometimes when you eat too much delicious food, you will miss the street snacks.

Wang Chun was delighted when he heard me say this. He listed a bunch of things I wanted to eat and gave me a palace card, telling me to come to the palace anytime I wanted.

After I went back, Wang Chun sent people to reward me with many good things. Luo Qingqing looked at me with astonishment on her face. She thought I was going to be punished. But she didn't expect that I was going to receive the reward.

Luo Wenqian's expression also changed at this time. When he saw me coming home, he immediately asked me to sit down.

She began to praise me, "I didn't expect my daughter to be so outstanding. I thought you were going to be punished. I didn't expect you to bring back so many good things."

I know what Luo Wenqian is thinking. He wants what Wang Chun gave me, and he also wants to use me to get close to Wang Chun. In this way, his power will grow.

But how could I let him have his way? I immediately said, "I don't quite understand the rewards given by Concubine Wang. But when I left, Concubine Wang specifically told me to keep these things myself. Concubine Wang is now a favorite of the emperor, but it's a pity that the emperor doesn't allow Concubine Wang to get involved in political matters. But the Wang family has gained a lot of benefits because of Concubine Wang."

Luo Wenqian naturally understood what I meant, and seeing that he could not get any benefit from me, he left with the excuse that he had something to do.

I asked Xiaotao to move all the gifts given by Concubine Wang back to the warehouse, and also asked Xiaotao to buy a big lock to lock it up.

I'm not at home often, so who knows if Luo Wenqian and the other woman would secretly open the warehouse and take my things as a favor.

However, I moved all the good things to the darkroom in my warehouse, and these things were moved by my personal maid.

After they finished moving, I gave them a bunch of gold melon seeds and hairpins. I don't use those things now because the hairpins affect my practice, so I keep most of them at home.

Now it has all been given to them. There are still people at home, and they rely on the money they send back home every month for support.

After giving them this, they can be a little more well-off.

When Luo Qingqing saw me, she taunted me, "It seems that this young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion is not only liked by the Emperor, but also by the Imperial Concubine. I don't know what seductive tricks she used."

I didn't indulge her, and said: "Some people are not liked. Don't you think it's their own fault? Oh, right. Some things are looked down upon by others, but there are always some people who treasure them. Don't find out that they are trash in the end."

After I said that, I didn’t even look at Luo Qingqing and went straight back to my room.

Luo Qingqing suffered a setback from me, so naturally she would go and complain to Wen Yiheng.

After that, I often went to visit Wang Chun, and every time I would bring some street snacks or interesting things to the palace. Every time I saw her, I found that the light in her eyes became more and more obvious. We communicated more and more, and I really found that we got along well.

The emperor was very pleased to see that Wang Chun and I had a good relationship. She looked at Wang Chun as if she saw the late queen, and she saw me and Wang Chun standing together.

The emperor seemed to see the scene of the late queen and his daughter walking together. Sometimes he would feel sad, but more often he treated me as his own daughter. He gave me more and more gifts.

But every time I would exchange the gifts from Concubine Wang and the Emperor for money, buy food, and then bring along the noble ladies in the capital to distribute porridge together.

And they would tell the refugees that these were bought with money given by the Emperor and Concubine Wang, so if they wanted to express gratitude, they could go and thank them.

After hearing this, the emperor was very pleased and rewarded me and the other noble ladies who helped distribute porridge.
