🌾① Being chased by a poisonous woman, he faked his death and escaped. He abandoned his son from the Hou Mansion and embarked on the most crazy counterattack. He was called a child prodigy for solving strange cases at the age of six. He passed the exam with six yuan at the age of sixteen, and he was able to wipe out his past revenge in front of the emperor! At the age of twenty, he wore a purple robe, built a warrior, and captured eight barbarian kings to expand the territory; at the age of twenty-eight, he had already regent the world, and three generations of emperors had bowed their heads - even the new emperor said frankly: If the prince is not like a human king, you can take it for yourself! 🌾②Su Chen'an, a master of traditional Chinese painting, was sent away by a pot of sunflowers. When he opened his eyes, he rolled up into a fetus and staged "A Hungry Wolf's Story of Survival" in his mother's womb - taking one more breath of mother's health and one less breath of cold. He went straight to college after he was born, and he quickly revised the "Humble Chamber Inscription" with ink. Before he started the imperial examination, he first gave the whole family a cultural shock! 🌾③ Dressed as the concubine of the Duke of Wei, with fine clothes and fine food, but he also received cold looks. Everyone in the capital laughed at him for being mediocre, but he bowed his head and buried himself in the cold window. There is no system around me, only a book, a stroke of ink, and a proud body. Look at the steps on the imperial examination road, and the secret chess pieces quietly falling in the court - the name of the concubine will eventually be carved into thunder in this power scheming situation. 🌾④ Dressed as a concubine of the Hou family, he opened his eyes and was slapped! My butt was burning, and I was crying loudly in my ears - luckily, I had three little unlucky guys accompanying me in my humiliation. Lie down and have a broken dream? No, no, this Houfu has good food and drink, and no one makes things difficult for them. I originally planned to eat and wait for death... Until the troubled times were approaching, and the lazy people were forced to open their businesses. Fighting my way out of the dandy's den, this time I want to break the game by myself!
