Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Extra VII: Tang Shishi's Previous Life Part 5

The eldest young lady fell into a nightmare while she was sleeping, and this incident was concealed in the rear courtyard of the Tang family without even causing ripples. Tang Mingzhe was still busy with business, and concubine Su was still striving for favor conscientiously. No one paid attention to Tang Shishi who had a nightmare.

However, only Lin Wanxi was scared to death. Lin Wanxi hugged Tang Shishi, questioned her for several days, and guarded her every night. Fortunately, everything was normal and there were no more nightmares again.

Tang Shishi sometimes did not know whether she fell into the dream too deeply that confused the reality, or whether those things really happened in reality. She remembered her previous life experience, how she died, how she became a wandering ghost and wandered in Chonghua Palace for a while, and somehow saw people and things from more than ten years ago.

She saw Jing Wang, Guo Guifei, and Empress Dowager Yao. At that time, Empress Dowager Yao was still an unpopular Empress and made every effort to be careful everywhere. She did not have the impressive appearance of governing the politics behind the curtain in the future.

For a while, Tang Shishi almost believed that she was just dreaming. However, a few days later, Tang Yanyan deliberately broke Tang Shishi’s jade bracelet and even fell to the ground, whining that Tang Shishi pushed her. Concubine Su naturally had a good bash on Tang Shishi and Tang Shishi’s heart gradually became cold. Only then did she know that she was not dreaming at all.

These incidents have also happened in her previous life.

That was true.

Tang Shishi was a person who had been schooled in the prince’s mansion and harem, would not be easily calculated by a child such as Tang Yanyan. However, when she looked at Tang Yanyan and concubine Su, she no longer had the enthusiasm that she once had to fight for.

She had enjoyed the best riches and honor and had entered the most beautiful places, but what about it? She still made a big mess and left the place sloppily. Even after her death, she could not even go home to have a look.

She got tired after fighting with Zhou Shunhua, Shizifei, and others for five or six years. In this life, she just wants to stay by her mother’s side, marry an ordinary husband, have a few ordinary children, and lived a peaceful and ordinary life.

The only regret was that she still did not see the Lantern Festival in Jinling in the end. She assumed she would never see it again in this life.

She would not enter the palace, nor would she go to Jinling. She would find a family of similar family in Linqing and stay in her hometown for the rest of her life. She left the Jinling to those younger, smarter, and more ambitious beauties.

Lin Wanxi only felt that after her daughter had a nightmare, she became depressed for several days and seemed to have completely changed herself with a much calmer nature. Lin Wanxi felt worried and observed secretly for several days. She found that her daughter was nothing different except for being very calm and staring at one place frequently. Lin Wanxi was relieved. She just thought that her daughter grew up and became chaste and quiet, and did not think in other directions.

In the evening, Tang Shishi accompanied her mother and watched her do embroidery. She suddenly asked, “Mother, do you know where Jing Wang is now?”

Lin Wanxi was taken aback when she heard, “Who are you talking about?”

“Jing Wang,” Tang Shishi added, “His Majesty, that’s not right. The fourth son of the former Emperor titled Jing Wang.”

Lin Wanxi laughed helplessly, continued to embroider the handkerchief in her hand, and said, “You ah, don’t listen to that storytelling. Those imperial families and Empress Dowagers that were sung in the play are all made up by the storytellers themselves. They are all ordinary people. Who has seen what the Emperor and Empress look like? You are still young, don’t understand what is right and wrong. Don’t take the play seriously.”
