The Qin family's daughter from Suzhou had skin like jade and a graceful figure. She was famous for her beauty for a hundred li around, and countless people coveted her. Forced into marriage at fifteen, she saw her husband fall ill and die on their wedding day.
The Su family spread rumors that she was a husband-killing seductress, while the Qin family called her unfilial and vicious.
To earn a living, Qin Qing, kicked out by the Qin family, struck up a relationship with the refined, jade-like young gentleman who had moved in next door.
The young gentleman was graceful and charming. When he accidentally met Qin Qing's gaze, his fair, handsome face would turn bright red...
More importantly, with him around, nobody dared cause trouble at Qin Qing's restaurant.
At last, after earning enough silver, Qin Qing left Suzhou in the dead of night with her frail mother and little brother.

The little prince, sick of the power struggles at court, went to Suzhou incognito to clear his head.
He met the one he loved. Just as he was discovering love for the first time, she deceived him, body and soul, and then vanished without a trace.
Years later, the young emperor ascended the throne.
He heard that a beautiful, otherworldly woman had moved to Chang'an with her family and opened a little restaurant.
That night,
his attendants watched the unpredictable emperor smash a whole roomful of exquisite porcelain vases. Then he chose his clothes for half the night, his face dark.
"..."

Qin Qing never thought they would meet again.
Even less did she expect that the pure, easily flustered youth from their first meeting would return as the awe-inspiring Son of Heaven.
He stared at her with a sinister, terrifying gaze. "Qingqing, such pretty legs, and yet they can run away... Tell me, should I break them, or break them?"
Qin Qing: I'll do it myself... Can you at least not cut them off? I'll tie them up, okay? QAQ
#Qin Qing promptly tied herself up with a bow
#Attendant: Hilarious. His Majesty would never have the heart to cut them off
#One-on-one
Pre-release: My Empress Is Gentle and Virtuous
In the Yonghe era, Empress Wei passed away.
Rumor had it that before she died, the empress held the emperor's hand and said tenderly, "Having met you and shared a life with you, I have no regrets."
The whole nation mourned,
grief-stricken at the emperor and empress's devoted love.
*
As the founding emperor's only empress, she had to bear all his affection alone. She also had the entire harem to herself, with no palace schemes at all, and nobody to snack on melon seeds with.
Empress: A life even dogs wouldn't put up with! If I get another chance, there's no way I'll live like this again!
Then the empress really did get another chance. She opened her eyes and found herself back at fifteen, before the late emperor had arranged her marriage, before her parents had fallen into a trap, at the perfect age to be the marquis's legitimate daughter.
The empress threw her head back and laughed.
She could go see a play today and ride a horse tomorrow. Flirt, have fun, and live it up.
Then the late emperor's marriage decree arrived.
Relying on the memories of her previous life, the empress not only foisted the match onto her sweet younger sister, but even found herself a lover to escape the arranged marriage.
"Young Master Jiang and I are in love. I've chosen him for life. I won't marry anyone else."
Little did she know, the emperor's face had already darkened.
*
The history books say that in the Yonghe era, Emperor Wei worked himself to death and fell ill from longing for the empress. He soon passed away, and was buried with her.
The emperor had been reborn too.
Theme: Learn to face life independently
Susu: Hum hum, you are looking at other men outside again Susu: But she said she loves me :) You are so worthless ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Let's take a bold guess: King Huai knew that he was demoted because of the Queen Mother, and then he wanted to take revenge, so he pretended to reconcile with his brother, poisoned the Queen Mother and blamed Qin Qing, and then pretended to be on good terms with Princess Ruan to gain the support of the Ruan family, which made it easier for him to seek power and usurp the throne. Moreover, the corruption may have been arranged to install his own people!
I hope Susu and Qingqing can make it through (555
Will it be written about having a baby later?
It's my birthday week, I wish you a happy birthday!
He also took away valuable things from the palace hahahaha
A certain man from Chang'an: ... The punishments are quite punishing.

Is the princess still in love?
I like it very much. It's an innocent story without twists and turns.
