When Shen Zhaoning was five years old, the fortune teller said, "Fate is tough, family should be restrained, and wealth should be restrained." So he was sent to the countryside by his father, General Zhenguo, and was ignored for ten years. When she was in her late teens, her grandmother was seriously ill and urged her to return to Beijing. A small green cloth sedan was carried back to the general's mansion. What greeted her was the cold eyes of her stepmother and the dagger-hidden smile of her concubine.
Less than half a month after returning to Beijing, she caught the eye of Prince Regent Pei Changyuan at a palace banquet.
The man who held all the troops in the world and even wanted to give her three points to the emperor, did not check her details, regardless of her origins, and directly asked for a marriage. As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the whole court was in an uproar. The queen was so angry that she dropped the tea cup - she had already planned for the prince to marry Shen Zhaoning, using the military power of the general's palace to pave the way for the crown prince, but now the plan was shattered by the regent's marriage letter.
So open and secret arrows followed one after another. The concubine Shen Zhaorou relied on her delicate face to seduce the prince and step on Shen Zhaoning in the circle of noble ladies. The queen took advantage of the harem to set up a trap, alienate the father and daughter, and instigate courtiers to submit letters. Shen Zhaoning wanted to live a low-key life, but he was framed one after another and forced to the front.
But she is not a country girl who can be manipulated by others. Ten years of rural life taught her how to read people's hearts and cut off medicinal herbs, and she also acquired the tact and toughness honed in the market. For every hidden arrow stabbed by the knife, she would return it the same way, and she would also give 30% interest.
And Pei Changyuan always comes at the right time - not to save her, but to deal with the aftermath for her. She slapped Erpin Gaoming in the face, and he handed her a handkerchief to wipe her hands; she burned the prince's courtyard, and he sent someone to add another fire.
"This king is asking for a marriage, not to make you feel wronged."
"Whoever dares to touch you, I will touch his nine clans."
