Yan Qing did not like the position of Crown Princess that others envied. From her point of view, Crown Princess was just an empty title, a burden. There were no benefits but it made her life so tiring.
She was just a little girl. Children of her age would act spoiled in front of their parents and play games happily. But she had to learn those messy things.
Every time she didn't want to study, Madam Yan would exhort her that she was the future Crown Princess and the future Empress. She was destined to be the mother of the world. She represented not only herself, but also the General's Estate and the dignity of the future imperial family.
The greater the responsibility, the more effort one had to put in.
So, she had to work very hard.
Every time Yan Qing wanted to give up, Madam Yan would persuade her like this. Over time, Yan Qing was tired of this speech and even hated the title of Crown Princess.
Whenever it was late at night and she was alone, Yan Qing would think that if the Emperor did not say those words, would she not have to work so hard and live such a hard life?
But what the world lacked the most were ifs.
Yan Qing thought and thought, but the reality was so cruel. She was the future Crown Princess. She had to put in hundreds and thousands of times more effort than others for the title of Crown Princess.
Yan Qing studied very hard and worked hard to become a qualified Crown Princess. She even worked hard to become a qualified Empress.
Not long after Yan Qing reached marriageable age, she married the Crown Prince.
Even though Yan Qing's looks were light, she was still young and beautiful. Because she had learned a lot, she looked more mature. Even though Yan Qing's new face made the Crown Prince feel fresh, it was more because of Yan Qing's identity and the fact that she was from the General's residence. The Crown Prince had to give her enough respect.
Although the two were engaged when they were young, but it was ancient times. They only met once or twice when they were young. The impression was already blurred, so the two's relationship was very distant.
Although the Crown Prince gave Yan Qing respect, he did not give Yan Qing enough love.
The Crown Prince liked his first woman, Concubine Su Wan.
Su Wan was Su Qi's only daughter. She entered the Crown Prince Fu a year earlier. Because she was a Ce Fei, there wasn't even a decent ceremony, but she couldn't resist the Crown Prince's special fondness.
As for Su Wan, she did not rely on the Crown Prince's liking to give Yan Qing a hard time. Instead, she was even more humble. But because of her humility, she obtained the Crown Prince's favor.
When Yan Qing was young, she was forced to learn things that she did not believe in learning at all. When she grew up, she married the Crown Prince. However, even though their married life looked harmonious, it was like stagnant water. The Crown Prince respected her but did not love her at all. The Crown Prince gave her everything, but did not give her the love that she wanted.
Although Yan Qing was leading a good life in the Crown Prince's residence, and her material needs were satisfied, but Yan Qing's heart was exceptionally empty, and even a little lost.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
The Emperor abdicated and the Crown Prince ascended the throne. Yan Qing naturally became the Empress, and Su Wan became the Imperial Noble Concubine.
At the ascension ceremony, Yan Qing encountered her lifetime's calamity, the Ninth Prince, He Yanshuo.
He Yanshuo's mother was Concubine Lan, who was originally a palace maid. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was favored by the Emperor by chance. Who would have thought that Concubine Lan would get a man at one go, and from then on, she began to rise up the ranks.
However, no matter how good Concubine Lan was, her birth was too low. He Yanshuo understood that he had no hope at all, so he left the capital early and waited until the Crown Prince ascended the throne before returning.
Concubine Lan was able to rise through the ranks as a palace maid to become an imperial concubine. In addition to her extraordinary skills, she was exceptionally beautiful. He Yanshuo had inherited Concubine Lan's beauty and combined it with the Emperor's resolute facial features. He looked less feminine and more masculine, which made him look particularly charming.
If He Yanshuo stood together with the Crown Prince, the first person that women would notice would definitely be He Yanshuo.
He Yanshuo was the Crown Prince's younger brother, and because he had always shown a state of being without desires, the Crown Prince was very assured of him.
However, who would have thought that this seemingly gentle and without desires, He Yanshuo was the dog that did not know how to bark? Not only was his bite painful, but it was also fatal.
Although He Yanshuo was outside, he knew everything in the capital like the back of his hand. He even understood the bitterness in Yan Qing's heart. Furthermore.
Even Su Wan was on He Yanshuo's side, so how could the Crown Prince win against him?
He Yanshuo seduced Yan Qing, and then asked Su Wan to poison the Crown Prince's food.
When the Crown Prince was about to be poisoned, he created an illusion that Yan Qing had poisoned him.
The Crown Prince naturally asked for a search, but because of the seriousness of the matter, the Crown Prince used another excuse.
Yan Qing's palace had letters between her and He Yanshuo. If they were found, He Yanshuo would definitely be in big trouble.
For He Yanshuo, Yan Qing naturally rejected the Crown Prince's request to search.
Yan Qing's rejection made her feel even more guilty. The Crown Prince did not care about Yan Qing's rejection and forcefully searched. Then, he found not only the letters between her and another man, but also the poison.
The Crown Prince was furious and threw Yan Qing out of the Cold Palace, implicating the Great General's Mansion.
The Crown Prince was deeply poisoned and had no children, so in the end, he could only pass the throne to the seemingly gentle He Yanshuo.
The first thing He Yanshuo did when he ascended the throne was to make Su Wan's sister, Su Yu, the Empress.
But in reality, he had stolen the dragon and turned the phoenix around to bring Su Wan back to the Imperial Palace openly.
When she heard the news of He Yanshuo ascending the throne and that He Yanshuo made Su Yu the Empress, Yan Qing only felt that her heart was broken.
However, she still secretly hoped that she would be lucky, waiting for the day He Yanshuo let her out.
Yan Qing waited and waited, but He Yanshuo did not come. Instead, she met Su Wan.
Su Wan used a sarcastic and disdainful tone to express her disdain for Yan Qing. She even said that she and He Yanshuo had long planned to use Yan Qing as a scapegoat.
The Great General's Mansion was angered by the Crown Prince because of Yan Qing, and now it was in dire straits.
Yan Kui felt ashamed because of Yan Qing's matter, so he cut his own throat with a sword. Madam Yan died of depression because of Yan Qing and Yan Kui's matter, and Yan Qing's three brothers disappeared from the capital overnight.
Su Wan smiled particularly proudly, looking in front of her as she spoke.
Even if you were extraordinary since you were young, so what? Your husband, the Crown Prince, respected you, but he would not love you. The He Yanshuo you liked was only using you.
You were a joke as long as you were alive.
Hearing the news of her family and knowing that she was being used by the person she liked, Yan Qing could not take it anymore. That night, she hanged herself.
Yan Qing did not understand. She was not chosen as the Crown Prince's concubine out of her own accord. He Yanshuo was the one who took the initiative between her and He Yanshuo. Why did he only use her and even harm her family?
