Chapter 271 You Are My God (2)
Ning Shu saw that everything around her was very exquisite. The original owner was wearing a satin woven flowered double-breasted outer garment with fine stitching without any hair. It seemed that the original owner must be either rich or noble.
Ning Shu closed her eyes and began to end the story.
The original owner was called Wei Lingxian. She was the first wife of General An You, the first rank Zhenwei. She had a son and a daughter. She respected her mother-in-law and treated her servants well. The couple loved each other and did not have a concubine in the backyard. This was so rare in the ancient times when people had three wives and four concubines.
There was a civil riot in Yunzhou. General Zhenwei An You was ordered to go to Yunzhou to rebel. Yunzhou was the fief of the current emperor's half-brother. After the emperor got the news, he quickly sent An You to suppress the rioters.
An You hurried to Yunzhou and found that the Yan Wang family had all died in the war. On the way back, An You met the Yan Wang's orphans, one was Yan Wang's daughter Princess Mingzhu, and the other was Yan Wang's youngest son.
In order to save the young prince, the only blood of the Yan King, he ordered his beloved daughter, Princess Mingzhu, to protect the young prince and escape from the palace that was about to be captured by the mob.
Princess Mingzhu would have lost her relatives overnight. If it were not for her father's wish, Princess Mingzhu would have wanted to follow her relatives. She
disguised herself with her maid and encountered bandits. She was rescued by An You when she was in danger.
An You appeared in front of Princess Mingzhu like a god, making Princess Mingzhu, who had lost everything, feel safe and warm. When she was desperate, she saw a glimmer of hope and gave Princess Mingzhu a new life like a god, allowing her to feel warm again.
An You thought that he had failed to save the Yan King's family and had the responsibility to protect the Yan King's orphans, so he escorted them all the way to the capital.
Seeing Princess Mingzhu's pain because of the loss of her family, An You often comforted her. Princess Mingzhu was about the same age as his daughter. Seeing this sixteen-year-old woman suffer such a thing, he patiently comforted her.
An You's care and love made Princess Mingzhu develop from admiration to love, and she developed feelings for An You, but due to her status, she could only suppress her feelings.
When they arrived in the capital, An You took Princess Mingzhu and the young prince to the general's mansion to take care of them. An You felt that he had a responsibility to Princess Mingzhu.
The general's mansion welcomed Princess Mingzhu very much. An You even built a courtyard for Princess Mingzhu to live alone, saying that he must let Princess Mingzhu feel the warmth of home.
Princess Mingzhu and An Lingyun, who was the same age, became good friends. Everyone in the general's mansion liked this weak but strong woman.
An Yu, the son of Wei Lingxian, who was responsible for revitalizing the Prince of Yan's Mansion, was seventeen years old and in the prime of his youth. He admired the tender Princess Mingzhu in his heart. Encouraged by his sister An Lingyun, he confessed to Princess Mingzhu, but Princess Mingzhu loved An Yu's father An You in her heart.
Wei Lingxian discovered the affair between her husband and Princess Mingzhu. She was dissatisfied with Princess Mingzhu and even did some things to hinder the affair between Anyou and Princess Mingzhu. She went to the palace to persuade the Queen Mother to grant Princess Mingzhu a marriage. The Queen Mother promised a good marriage for Princess Mingzhu, who was a child of a noble family in the capital.
But Princess Mingzhu almost collapsed when she heard the news. She knelt in front of the Queen Mother and begged her to withdraw the arranged marriage. She also told the Queen Mother that she liked Anyou and had to be with Anyou in this life.
The Queen Mother was extremely angry. The royal princess actually wanted to be a concubine, and to a man who was about the same age as her father. It hurt the entire social order of the court. The Queen Mother naturally did not allow it.
But Princess Mingzhu said that she and Anyou were in love with each other, it was true love, and there was nothing wrong with true love.
Princess Mingzhu compromised and knelt in front of Wei Lingxian, confessing that she loved Anyou and would rather be a concubine and stay by Anyou's side like a cat or a dog, just asking Wei Lingxian to forgive her.
Wei Lingxian was so angry that she was shaking all over. An Yu, who loved Mingzhu, disagreed. The old lady didn't dare to let a princess be a concubine and refused to agree. An Lingyun blamed her good friend for betraying her brother and stealing her father. Seeing that everyone disapproved of his relationship with Princess Mingzhu, and that everyone was suffering because of it, An You volunteered to go to the battlefield with a sad heart.
Princess Mingzhu secretly ran out of the capital and went to the battlefield alone to find An You who was going to the battlefield. An You was depressed because of love. After losing the battle, An You decided to commit suicide, and at this time Princess Mingzhu appeared in front of An You.
When the two met, it seemed like a lifetime ago. The affection in their hearts could no longer be restrained, and they were determined not to separate. The
two survived together, but they were still greeted by overwhelming opposition. Princess Mingzhu became the target of public criticism. Princess Mingzhu did not care about her status and was wronged in every way. She only hoped to resolve the knot in everyone's heart with sincerity, and finally moved the most opposed old lady. Princess Mingzhu
became An You's concubine. Everyone was shocked by Princess Mingzhu's brave and fearless spirit of accompanying her through life and death, and even the queen mother supported her.
Wei Lingxian humiliated and embarrassed Princess Mingzhu when she came in. This woman who had almost lost everything tortured Princess Mingzhu even more. Princess Mingzhu endured it silently, hoping to move Wei Lingxian with her true feelings.
An Yu, who liked Princess Mingzhu, was very disheartened and got married in anger. He left his newly married wife alone and went to the battlefield.
An You knew his son's mind. In order to protect his son, he went to the battlefield with Princess Mingzhu. In order to save An Yu in the chaos, he was unfortunately shot and died. Only then did An Yu forgive his father.
Seeing that An You was dead, Princess Mingzhu wanted to die on the same day and month as An You. She entrusted her younger brother, the youngest son, to An Yu's care, and then she committed suicide sadly.
After Princess Mingzhu died, the Queen Mother learned about this and felt that Princess Mingzhu was loyal and infatuated. She even let Princess Mingzhu and An You be buried in the same tomb, while Wei Lingxian, the principal wife, was extremely embarrassed.
Princess Mingzhu, who ran away to the battlefield and had sex with a man during the mourning period, was praised for her loyalty, bravery and strength after her death.
This tragic love story that disregards human ethics is extremely hypocritical. An old man and a simple and beautiful woman hurt everyone's love.
Wei Lingxian's husband didn't love her, her children were unfilial, and she was jealous. She couldn't be buried with her husband after her death because there was already a woman next to her.
Even if these two people died, Wei Lingxian still looked like a joke and lived in misery. A woman with nothing, how enviable Wei Lingxian was in the past, how pitiful Wei Lingxian is now.
Daughters and sons all sided with the concubine, and even the daughter-in-law who had just married her son had a brain pit to help Princess Mingzhu, asking her not to be so cruel to Mingzhu.
Ning Shu: ...
Well, this story can be briefly summarized as follows: I kindly took in my daughter's helpless good friend, but my daughter's good friend stole my man and also stole my son's heart, causing my family to fall apart.
I recommend my good friend Qingyan's article, "Kingsman: The Beloved Princess", which is a strong and exciting story about a strong woman. You can go and read it. Muah.
