Along the way, Liu Qiaoer had never seen such a harmonious scene.
In the past, in the Lu family, the class hierarchy was clear, and she was a maid. Even if she had abilities and could make money, she could never gain the trust of Mrs. Lu.
Later in the Marquis' Mansion, even if the Crown Prince liked her, the Marquis and his wife never included her in the blind dates they arranged for him.
Not to mention the imperial palace, identity, status, and rank have always been determined by family background.
Even if they have the same family background, the one who can have the last laugh in the harem also depends on their own IQ.
But these thirty or so people in front of me are very harmonious.
Why is it so harmonious
Liu Qiaoer felt that, first, there were few people, and second, they were all at the same level, illiterate, uneducated, and did things based on their conscience.
The last point is that what is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth.
At midnight, New Year's Eve, according to the rules, everyone has to stay up all night.
The bonfire in the yard was still burning, and no one slept except the children who couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep.
Even if you eat a lot of dumplings, you will still feel hungry in the middle of the night. There is barbecue by the campfire, and anyone who is hungry can go and have a bite.
Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao sat on the steps of the main hall, looking at the people in and outside the courtyard. They were talking and laughing, and some were even singing. It was really beautiful.
Cui Boxiao: "What are you thinking about?"
Liu Qiaoer: "I miss home. Every festive season makes me miss my family even more. When I was a child, when my parents were still alive, I lived with my grandmother, and we celebrated the New Year like this as well."
But it's all gone.
Cui Boxiao: "This is the meaning of you becoming a test subject, what if you can go back to the past and live in a peaceful era, like when I was a child."
When Liu Qiaoer was a child, the world had reached the end of the world. Zombies were rampant, and the underground city didn't allow people like her to enter.
Full of fear, injustice and poverty.
Even so, her parents have given her the best things, teaching her to read and write, and teaching her various survival skills.
She thought she would be happy if she lived in an environment without zombies and doomsday.
Liu Qiaoer: "Yes, to find a hero who can save the world, let him live longer, and make the world a better place. This is why I volunteered to be a test subject."
Cui Boxiao looked at Liu Qiaoer deeply. He lived in a good environment and had no way of sympathizing with her. The reason why he had always been with her was because of love.
He didn't want his beloved woman to be unhappy.
"The current dynasty is not good either."
The last feudal dynasty. Although the current emperor works very hard, the social system is destined to make the lower-class people suffer.
In comparison, Cui Boxiao and his colleagues' era was actually the best.
Because, no matter what, Liu Qiaoer is just an ordinary citizen when she returns to herself, and she does not have that much luck.
"Then let's work hard to make life better for those around us."
Yes, now Liu Qiaoer doesn’t know what to do. She can only wait, and while waiting, make the people around her live a better life.
“The New Year’s atmosphere is pretty good, but there are no fireworks…”
As she was speaking, Liu Qiaoer heard a "thunderbolt" sound coming from the yard.
Liu Qiaoer opened her eyes wide and took a closer look. It turned out that Grandpa Pei had cut some bamboos at some point and threw them into the fire at midnight.
Firecrackers, firecrackers, these are really firecrackers.
As soon as the sound was sounded, the atmosphere of the New Year was immediately created and everyone started eating, drinking and singing again.
It was as if last year's disaster had never happened and everyone began to welcome the new year.
The same time in Beijing.
The first shot of Prince Xiang's rebellion was fired.
Just after the New Year arrived, a coup d'état took place in the palace. Prince Xiang, taking advantage of his drunkenness, rushed in front of the emperor. If it were not for the close protection of his guards, the emperor would have been stabbed to death, and Prince Xiang would have become the emperor of the Dayuan Dynasty.
Prince Xiang attempted to assassinate the Emperor, but was instead controlled by the Emperor. Prince Xiang had no choice but to flee from the capital overnight. He was only able to escape with the help of two hundred guards in the capital who desperately protected him.
When King Xiang returned to his fiefdom of Liangzhou, he had only five men left under his command.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar year, King Xiang rebelled.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Qiaoer received news from Zhang Lingzhi in the capital that her pigeon had flown back.
The information Zhang Lingzhi gave Liu Qiaoer was more detailed and confidential.
The emperor was dying, and the rumor that Prince Xiang's assassination attempt had failed was actually false. He had stabbed the emperor's heart, but the stab was a little off. Even so, the elderly emperor could not bear it.
The queen did not allow the imperial physician to enter the palace for treatment, but secretly summoned Zhang Lingzhi and his father to the palace.
Zhang Lingzhi stopped the emperor's bleeding in time, as the emperor was in a coma.
The Marquis of Zhennan and the Queen have already begun plotting in the Emperor's bedroom.
The queen was holding a few-month-old baby in her arms, her eyes full of tears. She had been very calm at first, but after seeing the Marquis of Zhennan, she had completely lost her opinion.
"Father, the emperor is dying. What should we do now?"
Marquis Zhennan looked at his young daughter, the baby in the cradle, and took a deep breath.
"You must save the emperor's life first. Prince Xiang has escaped. It won't be long before he rebels. Don't announce the emperor's affairs to the public. When I capture Prince Xiang, I will definitely let you and your child sit firmly in this position."
The meaning of Marquis Zhennan was very clear. As long as the emperor was still alive, he would still be the emperor. After Marquis Zhennan returned from suppressing the rebellion, he would announce the emperor's death. At that time, he would push the child in his arms to sit on the throne, and the empress would rule the country from behind the curtain.
The Queen disagreed and shook her head desperately: "No, father, I can't. You can't leave the capital. Once you leave the capital, what should I do? They will kill us mother and daughter."
In addition to Prince Xiang, there are other forces in the capital. Although they are not as powerful as Marquis Zhennan for the time being, once Marquis Zhennan comes out of the capital, the Queen is worried that they will not listen to her.
At this time, the queen was very panicked: "If there is a magic medicine that can make the emperor not die so quickly, as long as he can speak, it will be fine."
Zhang Lingzhi suddenly thought of Liu Qiao'er: "Madam, if Miss Liu was in the palace, her medical skills might be able to help the emperor survive."
The queen was anxious: "Where is Qiao'er? Where is she?"
Zhang Lingzhi held back and said, "She is in a mountain, which is the territory of King Xiang. She is trapped there. She has no money, nothing, and she may not be able to come back."
The queen narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If you can contact her, please ask her to come back quickly. I need her. If you really can't contact her, I won't blame you. You must use your best medical skills to make the emperor sober."
Zhang Lingzhi nodded: "I have already informed father and Qiao'er and asked them to come back to help."
After receiving the message from Zhang Lingzhi, Liu Qiaoer glanced at the people working on building their houses and passed the message to Cui Boxiao.
"Beijing, are you going back?"
Cui Boxiao frowned and said, "Go back. The rebellion of King Xiang will eventually be suppressed, but it will take a long time. The people are suffering because of this war. They are living in misery."
"It would be best if we could stop it."
Liu Qiaoer: "But if this is the case, we won't be able to find the savior hero."
Cui Boyao suddenly said: "Qiao'er, since we know the latest system, equality, and civilized Marxism-Leninism is suitable for the new country, why can't we overthrow the system and build a new country ourselves?"
