Chapter 299 Extra Chapter: Chen Song 1
Chen Songyi has always believed that when you meet a lucky person, you must first become friends with them.
If your luck turns bad, stay away from it immediately; if your luck turns good, stick to it like glue and never let go.
Princess Yizhen, the princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, is hailed as the most blessed woman in history.
She was born a noble princess. Her mother died early, and she met her stepmother who treated her like her own daughter. She protected her in that cannibalistic palace and remained kind and beautiful.
She lived a life of honor, respected by two generations of emperors, including her younger brother and nephews, and was known as the eldest princess.
She married a good man who stayed with her for life, until they grew old together and died peacefully in their sleep.
Her children are filial, and she has many descendants.
A person's life, like hers, can be described as 80% fulfilling. The remaining 20% was unsatisfactory because her parents died young and left her at an early age.
Throughout history, this loving couple has been celebrated and admired. Some people envy her, some are jealous of her, and some want to be like her.
Because of the taboo nature of their relationship, the history after the Qin Dynasty has been rewritten countless times by both official and unofficial historians.
Even in the present day, many people still write about it.
Fang Shixin was one of them.
No one knows what's wrong with her, but she seems to have some kind of obsession with Cheng Yan. Chen Songyi, her neighbor, has read six of her books, and in every one of them, the male lead is Cheng Yan, while the female lead is herself.
There are titles like "My Sweet Daily Life with Prince Pingxi After Transmigrating as a Princess," "Transmigrated as a Concubine? No Problem, My Love with the Prince is True Love," "I'm a Maid, But I'm Also Prince Pingxi's Darling," and "Prince Pingxi Loves Me to the Bone," and so on...
The first book is about taking over, the second and third books are about vying for favor, and by the fourth book, he directly kills the princess and marries her to become her principal wife.
In short, it's absolutely outrageous.
Chen Songyi had said that Fang Shixin's behavior was not quite right, but Fang Shixin acted as if she had taken a gunpowder, repeatedly saying that Cheng Yan should belong to her, and that Qin Yizhen was nothing but a stain on Cheng Yan's life and was not worthy of him at all.
As Fang Shixin wrote in the book about how she used modern knowledge to cause a lot of trouble, things like velvet flowers, soap, and flower dew were nothing special, cement and glass were commonplace, and she even brought out gunpowder and firearms.
It was truly terrifying. You have to understand that this was the era of cold weapons. The Qin Dynasty swept through the Three Kingdoms and unified the world with its military might. Cheng Yan made outstanding contributions to the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world and was an unparalleled hero in history.
If gunpowder and firearms fall into the hands of other countries, the future of Qin will be uncertain.
Chen Songyi secretly rejoiced, thankfully Fang Shixin couldn't actually travel to the Qin Dynasty.
But she was relieved not long after, Fang Shixin suddenly fainted in front of the computer and became a vegetable, while she herself died young due to illness.
When Chen Song woke up again, she found herself in an era when the Qin Dynasty had not yet unified China and was still divided into four kingdoms. She was secretly delighted, thinking that it must have been Princess Fufu who had blessed her and given her a new life.
However, when she learned that there was a person named Fang Shixin who had written many poems that were widely sung and who had come up with many things that had never been seen in this era, she felt like the sky was about to fall.
If Fang Shixin really traveled to this place, wouldn't he turn history upside down?
Chen Songyi felt that since Heaven had brought her here, it was probably so that she could clean up Fang Shixin's mess and prevent the Qin Dynasty from collapsing.
However, before she could do anything, Fang Shixin suddenly died, supposedly from poisoning while dining with the Empress Dowager, and was posthumously granted the title of princess.
Chen Songyi didn't believe this explanation at all. She thought it was because Fang Shixin's creation was too grand, and she was preoccupied with Cheng Yan and not very loyal to Dong Qin at the time. Empress Dowager Cheng felt that she would be a threat to Dong Qin, so she wanted to get rid of her.
Therefore, Chen Songyi wished he could cling to Princess Yizhen's leg so tightly that he couldn't be pulled away.
Fang Shixin might have a chance to come back to life in the modern world after she died, and a person in a vegetative state might have a chance to wake up, but she died of illness, and once she's dead, she's truly dead. Perhaps even her body was cremated.
Fortunately, the princess was indeed as kind as the legends said. As long as she didn't cause trouble, the princess would occasionally ask her some questions or ask her to do some things for her, and she would really protect her.
Relying on the princess as her backer, and bearing the reputation of "I am the real heiress, but when I returned, the fake heiress was already dead, and everyone loves her and hates me," she not only avoided misfortune but also turned the Chen family upside down, making life miserable for everyone.
Later, she married Xie Zhan, but she still went to the Prince of Pingxi's mansion every day.
This left Xie Zhan quite helpless, and he almost got into an argument with her once.
"Am I your husband or is the princess your husband? You went to the Prince of Pingxi's mansion the day before yesterday, and you went again yesterday. Do you want to go again today? Do you want to go again tomorrow?"
Xie Zhan couldn't figure out whether the princess was someone he had liked, or someone Chen Songyi had liked.
On one occasion, he even asked her, "Knowing that I once had feelings for a princess, are you really not jealous?"
Chen Song smiled broadly: "Why are you jealous? What's wrong with liking the princess? The princess is beautiful and kind, what's wrong with that? It just proves that you have good taste."
Xie Zhan was stunned.
However, she added at the end, "But that's all in the past. Now that you've married me, you should have let go of your feelings for the princess long ago and shouldn't be thinking about her anymore..."
Although Chen Songyi felt a little regretful that Xie Zhan's first love wasn't her, and perhaps even after they became husband and wife, he might not have much romantic feeling for her, she didn't care. As long as he didn't always think about other people and was responsible to his wife and family, they could get by.
Anyway, she and Xie Zhan were husband and wife for decades. Xie Zhan's official position rose higher and higher, but her attitude remained unchanged. They had several children, who grew up, married, and became grandparents, or even great-grandparents.
Chen Songyi thought to herself that she was actually no worse off than Qin Yizhen in this life.
When she reached middle age, the Chen family members who were still thinking about the supposedly deceased fake heiress suddenly realized something, apologized to her, and asked for her forgiveness.
Chen Songyi found it amusing. At that time, Xie Zhan had already risen to the rank of Minister, and she had long been bestowed the title of Princess of Chang'an by Empress Dowager Cheng, and was also close to the noble Princess Qin Yizhen.
Minister Chen is already old, and the Chen family has no outstanding descendants. Once Minister Chen retires or passes away, the family will likely decline slowly.
Whether the Chen family was doing it for the future or genuinely repenting and seeking her forgiveness, she didn't want to discuss it anymore.
A broken mirror cannot be mended, and she cannot pretend that those people did not ostracize and insult her, and that she was the one who wished them dead.
Life is a long journey, and she clung tightly to the leg of this most fortunate princess, continuing to move forward.
Oh, it's the kind that you can't even peel off!
