Uncle (1)
The emperor's uncle, as the name implies, is the uncle of the emperor.
It stands to reason that the status of such an emperor's uncle is generally quite good. After all, in ancient times, the emperor always respected the elders, and the emperor would naturally be able to walk sideways.
But the plot that Duan Qingen saw was not like this.
Because the original owner's emperor's uncle was the prince at the beginning.
Yes, the prince.
He was the former prince who competed with the father of the emperor of this dynasty for the throne.
To put it simply, the original owner was born to the queen. He was smart since childhood and was highly valued by the previous emperor. He was named the prince at the age of eight and has been the prince for ten years.
In these ten years, he can be called a very good prince. Whether it is the emperor, the court or the people, he has received high praise.
Originally, he could have succeeded to the throne smoothly, but the previous emperor, that is, his second brother, wanted to ascend the throne, so the original owner's prince naturally became a stumbling block on his way to the throne.
If you want to destroy a prince, the method is very simple.
Just make him disabled.
After all, these were very taboo in ancient times. The feudal dynasty believed that a person with a physical defect could not sit on the throne, and the emperor must be perfect.
So, the original owner suffered a severe blow to his leg in an "accident". Even though he could walk by himself, he looked limping.
So the original owner became a deposed prince from a prince who was admired by thousands of people. Although everyone knew that he had no fault and was deposed only because of an "accident", the previous emperor still loved his favorite son as before, and even felt pity for his lameness, and loved this son more than before.
But the love from his father not only did not make the original owner feel better, but also made him more hated by his brother.
Afterwards, the previous emperor died and the previous emperor ascended the throne.
His attitude determined the attitude of other people in the capital. The original owner, the prince who was originally loved and sought after, gradually became a cold stove in the capital.
Fortunately, the previous emperor did not live too long. He died less than three years after ascending the throne.
The successor became his son, the current emperor. The original owner's originally difficult life was a little better. Although people in the capital were still indifferent to him, and his nephew always looked contemptuous at every New Year's family dinner, at least he no longer had to worry about his brother killing him one day.
After all, although the current emperor also disliked him, he was a junior. If he really took action against the original owner, it would be fine if it was not exposed. Once it was exposed, it would definitely be enough for him to be cursed by people all over the world.
With his life saved, the original owner could finally worry about marriage.
Before, he had a leg disability, and his father was full of pity for him. He also mentioned that it would be better for him to get married early, give birth to a child and teach him well, and it would not be impossible for him to replace him as the grandson in the future.
For the previous emperor, this was just a way for him to comfort his son, and it might not really make the original owner's bloodline become the grandson, but the original owner's second brother remembered it in his heart, and then made some arrangements, so that the original owner had a reputation of not getting married too early, otherwise he would be unlucky.
Even if the previous emperor did not believe it, as an emperor, he could not ignore the life of the minister's daughter and directly grant the marriage.
If nothing went wrong, it would be fine. Once something went wrong, it would be telling others that he ignored the life of other people's daughters for his son.
So, the original owner's marriage could only be delayed like this.
Once delayed, it's now, he is almost 30 years old. Although he doesn't look old because of his appearance, in modern times, such a handsome guy who is good-looking and good at calligraphy and painting will definitely not have trouble finding a partner.
But in ancient times, a 30-year-old man who has not yet married is really too old.
And most importantly, he is an almost transparent prince. Almost the entire capital knows that although he is the emperor's uncle, he has no real power and no position. He just bears the reputation of a prince and lives a life that is almost poor (compared to other princes).
Such an old, unpopular, poor, and life-long person who can see through his life at a glance is naturally not among the "son-in-law candidates" of many good families in the capital.
And the emperor's nephew didn't like this uncle very much because of his father's instructions, so it was normal for the original owner to not find a marriage partner.
But the original owner, who had suffered from the warmth and coldness of human feelings, didn't want to be alone all his life. He wanted a wife to accompany him, even if she was not a rich girl, even if her father's official position was not high, or she was as old as himself, as long as someone could accompany him.
After all, all the relatives who loved him were gone, and now in this world, he can be said to have no one who cares about him.
Because the original owner lowered his requirements, he really found a candidate for marriage very quickly.
The girl's father was an official, but his official position was not very high, only the fifth rank.
The daughter of a fifth rank official would not be qualified to be the prince's wife, let alone a concubine.
But the original owner didn't care about these things. He just wanted to get married and have a family as soon as possible. Moreover, he and his future wife had met before, and they were in love with each other, which made this marriage more anticipated.
Then, it turned to the original plot of the book.
That's right, the wife is the heroine.
And the prince who married her in the original owner's marriage was not the hero, but just a supporting actor.
The heroine did not travel through time, but she was reborn. In her previous life, she followed the original owner, a male partner. As a result, the original owner was mediocre all his life, had no ambition, and was always cautious in everything he did. As a result, she was a princess, but her life was even worse than that of the wife of a third-rank official in the capital.
As a princess, she thought she could spend money like water, but the original owner, the prince, had been suppressed for so many years. Even if there was a salary every year, it would cost a lot to maintain the palace. How could it support the princess's extravagance?
The heroine lived a very depressed life in her previous life. Later, she relied on the original owner's good temper and spoiled her husband and did not let her sleep with her. As a result, the original owner died early, and she did not even have children. Her later years were miserable.
When she was reborn in this life, her first thought was that she would never live the same life as in her previous life again.
But at that time, she had already agreed with the original owner to ask the original owner to come and propose marriage after a while. Although she thought it was nothing to break the engagement, in this life, she was now just the daughter of a fifth-rank official. Even if the original owner, the prince, had no power, she could not break the engagement just because she wanted to.
Unexpectedly, God had a good eye. She actually met the current emperor when she pretended to be a man and went shopping.
The heroine of this time period in the previous life naturally did not know him, but who made her become a princess in the previous life and once followed her husband to attend the family banquet.
The emperor looked very good, but unfortunately, because her husband was the original owner in the previous life, the emperor's attitude towards her was also lukewarm.
But in this life, she is now an innocent unmarried daughter.
So, the heroine pretended not to know that this person was the emperor, and had a "folk love" with him. After the emperor fell in love with her, he asked where her home was. On the second day of their being together, he issued an edict to let the heroine enter the palace as a concubine.
After getting rid of the original owner easily, the heroine gradually became the favorite concubine in the palace, but she had not forgotten that she had discussed marriage with the original owner. She was afraid that "the current favorite concubine almost married the emperor's uncle before" would become her black spot, so she pushed the youngest sister in the second room to the original owner.
The second room was not favored to begin with, and this sister was almost an orphan, relying on their first room to come, not to mention that now she has become an imperial concubine, how dare this sister not accept what she said.
So, the younger sister married the original owner smoothly, but the heroine was not the only favorite in the palace, and there were several concubines sharing the favor with her. Since she experienced the bleak old age in her previous life, she was eager to seize power and want to have a seat in the palace.
But how could she, the daughter of a fifth-rank official, have any connections? Even if it was money, her family could not bring her much.
So the heroine set her sights on the unlucky male partner, that is, the original owner.
The original owner was a prince after all. Although she had always despised his family for not having much money in her previous life, she had to say that the money was actually quite a lot, especially in the palace. If she had that money, she would definitely be able to go smoothly.
She set her sights on the money, but they were not related, and she had regretted her marriage before. Even if she married her sister to him, how could the original owner still help her?
After thinking about it, the heroine came up with another good idea.
She took advantage of the palace family banquet to secretly hand over a letter to the original owner and asked him to come out for a meeting.
The original owner really came out, and she cried again, saying that she was full of him in her heart and eyes, but the emperor was attracted by her beauty and ordered her to enter the palace. She certainly didn't dare to disobey the order, after all, the lives of her whole family were put here.
Now, although she married the emperor as a concubine, her heart and eyes were full of the original owner. Now she is not living a good life in the palace, and she hopes that the original owner can help her.
The original owner was still thinking about this first love in his heart. After hearing her crying, he immediately believed it and really gave her his savings accumulated over the years.
Later, he also stepped forward to help the heroine in several events and helped her many times.
After that, the heroine finally gave birth to a dragon son and her position was firmly established. Now, the most important thing is to clear up the black history.
She didn't do much else, just hinted that the male protagonist, the emperor's uncle, had a rebellious heart towards a concubine in the palace. The emperor, who had already disliked the original owner, was furious. He didn't care about anything else and directly ordered the original owner to be killed.
When he died, he had just put down the heroine and was with his wife.
His wife was still pregnant and died of dystocia soon after.
The miserable life of the male supporting role ended here.
Duan Qingen, who finished reading the original plot: "..."
[System, how is the performance of this book? ]
[Very bad, a lot of scolding. ]
Duan Qingen was relieved.
Fortunately, his appreciation ability is still alive.
