The heroine's name is Chu Qing. Like Chu Shishi, she is a concubine born to an aunt, but her status is completely different from that of Chu Shishi.
Not only because her mother suffered a hemorrhage and died after giving birth to her, but also because the third aunt deliberately let the so-called fortune teller spread rumors outside.
He said that Chu Qing's life was too tough. First, she killed her mother, and later she would kill other people in the prime minister's house.
Why did the third aunt do this
Because as Chu Qing grew up, she seemed to be carved out of the same mold as her mother, and her appearance far surpassed that of Chu Shishi.
They are both concubines. How could the third aunt let her daughter lose to the motherless Chu Qing.
So on the one hand, Third Yiniang "taught" Master Chu, and on the other hand, she put various obstacles in Chu Qing's way.
The rumors spread quickly to Chu Ao's ears under the deliberate spreading of the third aunt.
Although he reprimanded the servant on the face, he was still slightly worried in his heart.
He is at the height of his power in the court, but he cannot be defeated by Chu Qing's destiny!
As a result, Chu Ao alienated Chu Qing intentionally or unintentionally.
He no longer asked Chu Qing to serve the meal, but asked his servants to bring the food to her yard;
He no longer brings gifts to Chu Qing after returning from a trip, and no longer pays attention to what Chu Qing is wearing.
Chu Ao didn't care, and coupled with Third Yiniang's hints, over time people almost forgot that this girl who wore the same clothes as them and ate food that was worse than theirs was the second lady of the prime minister's house.
Chu Qing also developed a low self-esteem and cowardly character in such a living environment. She did not dare to look up to see people or speak loudly all year round. She had no sense of existence compared to any servant.
Time passed by and came to the day when Chu Ruyu got married. Chu Qing was directly arranged by the third aunt to be a dowry concubine and married to the East Palace together.
Chu Ruyu, who was trained by Fan Minjun to be silly, sweet and without any scheming, was no different from home after arriving at the East Palace.
The prince has no feelings for her either. They are in a political marriage.
The days of raising cases and raising eyebrows are quite comfortable.
There are only two women in the prince's east palace, the prince's concubine Chu Ruyu and his concubine Chu Qing.
The prince has neither feelings nor interest in the silly and sweet Chu Ruyu.
But one time when I passed by Chu Qing's room, I happened to catch a glimpse of her learning to write.
The prince became interested for a moment.
This was the first time he saw a woman writing.
This woman didn't even know how to hold a brush, so she just copied the words on the book.
So, the prince pushed in the door and taught Chu Qing how to read, write and read.
When he first came into contact with Chu Qing, he felt that Chu Qing was timid and timid and dared not speak, and was simply more boring than Chu Ruyu;
As the contact deepened, the prince was pleasantly surprised to find that many of this little woman's ideas were very novel and bold. It was very inspiring for him to transform these ideas into political and military applications!
And Chu Qing also gradually discovered her talents under the prince's guidance, and gradually fell in love with the prince.
The emperor was getting old, and the various young princes also began to have evil thoughts and wanted to compete for the throne.
Chu Ruyu couldn't help the prince, but Chu Qing could.
At the banquet, the charming Chu Qingjiao lay in the arms of the prince. She seemed to be acting coquettishly, but in fact, she used her wide sleeves to replace the glasses of poisonous wine that she and the prince shared, and drank it down in one gulp.
After the banquet, the poison came out. The imperial doctor was sweating profusely while diagnosing the pulse and prescribing medicine. The prince was anxiously wandering beside the bed;
