In the third year of Jinghe, the 16-year-old female general Su Qingyan triumphed. Her father is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, her eldest uncle is the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, and her second uncle is the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu - her family occupies three seats among the six bureaus. The court said she was "a girl fighting a war," but she didn't care. She just felt that it was best when the war was over and her brothers were back.
But after entering the palace and becoming the eldest princess's companion, I realized that the court was more difficult than the battlefield. The prince who taught her, Lu Shiheng, was frail and sick, had a sharp tongue, and stayed in court every day to make things difficult for her. The Queen Mother's beloved son, Prince Huan, suddenly returned to Beijing from Lingnan and was particularly close to her; the eldest princess's marriage contract involved a large family in the south; and no one dared to mention the old case of Prince Jing nine years ago.
Su Qingyan was drawn into the center of the whirlpool step by step, only to realize that the Taifu's harshness was all to keep her alive in the court, the Empress Dowager's favoritism was an undercurrent of seizing the legitimate son, and King Huan's closeness hid temptation and unwillingness. And her closest second uncle had already planted a chess piece that could shake the entire court in that old case nine years ago.
She doesn't take sides or fight for power, she just comes back from the war and wants to live a good life. But someone wouldn't let her live in peace.
Then she dug out the old accounts from nine years ago one by one, and calculated all the principal and interest.
"You guard the mountains and rivers, and I guard the court. Any criticism caused by you, I will bear alone."
Intention: The most hurtful thing in the world is not the open gun, but the idly watching under the banner of "acting according to the rules".
