4. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, a silly lady (3)
I pried out a book from the whole pile of old books. There was a crease mark on a certain page in the middle, so I opened it as soon as I opened it, and it turned out to be the entire map!
Due to the limitations of the rendering technology, the outlines of mountains and lakes are not accurate and detailed. However, each country and each piece of land can still be roughly seen clearly.
There is no Central Plains, no Xiongnu, no Uighurs, Khitans, Liao and Xixia on the yellowed pages. Four areas occupy three-quarters of the map, respectively using traditional block letters: Dongling, Xiwu, Beichuan and Nanzhao. The rest are
A quarter of the vacant space was filled by dotted counties and territories.
The shiny white fingers moved slowly, and finally stopped at a certain point: the capital city. The location where she is now, the imperial capital of Dongling Kingdom, where the emperor and I live.
On the next page, there is a basic introduction to each country. Dongling's imperial surname is Ximen, and it just so happens that the body she was reborn in is also named Xiang Xue, with a surname of Ximen.[
Ximen Xuan, the third younger brother of the current Ninth Five-year-old Prince, is the powerful King of Jingxi. People often call him "Prince Xuan". As for another identity that is not common to outsiders, he is her father in this life.
Wan Xiang did not hide some things, maybe because she felt that the identity of the prince's daughter was very honorable. The biggest mystery lay in her mother, who knew nothing about her except that she was a woman.
"Weak body" and "Still recuperating" are all excuses that Wanxiang used to deal with her after talking to the people in the yard. It seems that she acted a very realistic lolita, or maybe everyone has not changed from the original idiot.
freed from the memory.
Who has ever heard of a mother not allowing her daughter to visit her when she is sick? It is not a source of infection. What’s more, a dignified lady from the royal family actually lives in the courtyard where the servants stay. This is not professional discrimination on her part. This is too much in a feudal hierarchical society.
It's not normal anymore.
That day, she tried to lure Wan Xiang to tell the truth, but was unfortunately interrupted by Aunt Zhao. Then the two of them went out and muttered for a while, which directly led to side effects: everyone in the yard, old and young, united to pretend to be stupid for her.
, he just takes things for granted. His plan to make Xiang Xue work hard to help this group of people in the hope of making a good impression and making excuses was completely aborted.
These aunts and uncles didn't mean any harm. On the contrary, I could intuitively feel that they were protecting themselves. But why didn't they let her out? Was it because they were afraid of knocking someone down, or something happened...
"Oh, it's so annoying!" Xiang Xue was even more tired than when he was negotiating with a group of Yakuza bosses to divide the territory. He rolled his eyes and simply climbed onto the bed with the book in his arms and started reading slowly.
The book was a bit old, but it was quite useful. At least it kept her from being blind and not even understanding the world she lived in.
The sun gradually rose and shone into the room through the gauze curtains. It was warm and the weather in early summer was very suitable for sleeping. I squinted my eyes and the words on the book began to appear as ghosts. I rubbed my hands on the comfortable and soft thin quilt.
Damn, my eyelids drooped and closed...

21st century:
Under the dark night, Hongqiao was completely silent, not because there were no pedestrians, but because the front and rear were blocked by rows of people in black suits.
Their cold faces, cold sunglasses, and evil aura all around them have declared that they are definitely not good people. Each of them stands upright, and they don't dare to make any rash move before receiving orders. They are all members of the Yu family, the boss of the Ji Dao.
Beside the high stone railing, a short girl stood quietly, with no trace of emotion on her delicate and beautiful face. The black snow silk group was blown by the night wind and spread out in a flamboyant manner.
"Miss, we have been searching for three days and three nights, but we still haven't found the body of the eldest lady. I'm afraid..."
"Shut up! My sister is still alive, and you dare to say the word death again..."
There was an unconcealed murderous intent in the slightly childish voice, which shocked the subordinates beside him. They quickly bent down and apologized: "Yes! This subordinate is reckless!"
"Keep searching! If I can't find my sister, you will all be buried with me!"
As soon as he closed his hand, his face showed panic and endless sadness. Sister, Xiang Yun didn't really want to kill you... I know that the Yu family is your bondage. You yearn for freedom so much, and you hate these ugliness and darkness.
things, so I’m afraid that after you have enough ability, you will leave the Yu family and leave me...[
I don't allow it, sister!
"Ah!" I suddenly woke up, touched my neck, and broke out in a cold sweat. I looked at my hands that were still trembling slightly uncertainly. Did I have a nightmare? The person in the dream looked similar to Xiang Yun, no.
, they are exactly the same...
But the tone of her voice and her demeanor, how could she be her weak and innocent sister... She must have missed Xiang Yun so much that she would dream of such strange things.
"I really want to go back quickly, but I don't know what's going on with Xiang Yun alone." Xiang Xue sleeps very lightly and hardly sleeps at night, so he feels ridiculous about what he dreamed about today.
I wiped my sweat casually, jumped out of bed and walked out the door. I found that the sun had already risen to the middle of the sky, and it turned out to be noon. The yard was so quiet that no one knew where they were running.
She shrugged, walked to the well, fetched water, and washed her red face directly. She shivered, and the cold well water completely activated her nerves, which were still a little sluggish because she had just woken up.
