Chapter 1849
The True and False Jinshi
Not long after Liu Xinya married the fourth prince, the emperor appointed the fourth prince as the crown prince.
Neighboring countries sent envoys to offer their congratulations.
The Kingdom of Qianxiang in this world has been destroyed.
It was dragged down by its neighboring countries.
After the imperial court ransomed the Prince of Nan'an, it launched an attack that completely annihilated the neighboring country.
The success thrilled the generals, who then set their sights on the Kingdom of Qianxiang, a country where women were highly respected and which relied entirely on overseas trade with few soldiers.
And so, both countries were destroyed.
Princess Jia Tanchun did not die; she was brought back to the country.
She chose to become a nun and went to keep Xichun company.
The absence of two countries did not affect the busyness of the Court of Colonial Affairs.
They were on high alert to receive the guests from the north.
The Qing Dynasty in the north had always coveted the Central Plains.
In the late Ming Dynasty of this world, the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty killed Li Zicheng, took over Li Zicheng's army, and captured the capital.
He did not take Chen Yuanyuan for himself, and therefore did not lead the Qing army into the pass like Wu Sangui did.
The real reason was that the founding emperor had long been wary of Wu Sangui and had placed people around him.
The Qing army once sent someone to Wu Sangui, offering him the reward of a prince to let the Qing army into the pass.
Wu Sangui was tempted, but when the founding emperor's men discovered this, they immediately took action against him and seized Wu Sangui's military power.
The founding emperor unified the Central Plains and stationed a large number of troops on the northern border to prevent the Qing army from advancing south.
The dream of the Qing army conquering the Central Plains was just a dream; it never came true.
The current emperor of the Qing Dynasty is Kangxi, and the nine princes vying for the throne have all grown up.
This time, the representatives of the Qing Dynasty who came to offer their congratulations were the fourth prince, Yinzhen, and the eighth prince, Yinsi.
Yinzhen walked on the streets of the capital, looking at the bustling scene, and frowned.
As the Great Xia Dynasty grew stronger, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty became addicted to pleasure and lost their former ambition and fighting spirit to roam the Central Plains.
The dream of settling in the Central Plains is probably impossible to realize.
A woman with striking beauty was accompanying Yinzhen.
She was Consort Tongjia, a concubine of Emperor Yinzhen, and his most beloved woman.
Tongjia was a talented and capable woman who helped him a great deal.
Because of his association with the Tongjia clan, he achieved many accomplishments and received praise from his father, the Emperor, which greatly strengthened his chances of seizing the throne.
Yinzhen did not notice the unpleasant look on Tongjia's face.
Tongjia looked at the smooth cement road surface, her expression contorted.
Cement! It's actually cement!
Besides her, there are other time travelers in this world!
How awful! Absolutely awful!
She is no longer unique.
Moreover, what's wrong with this world?
Why was the Qing Dynasty only located in such a small part of the north, while the entire Central Plains was a separate dynasty?
Could it be that the time traveler is related to the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty?
Thinking about it that way, she wasn't so angry anymore.
After all, decades have passed. Even if the time traveler is incredibly long-lived, they should be dead by now.
She remains unique.
Tongjia was a fan of Qing Dynasty time-travel stories.
She read a lot of Qing Dynasty time-travel novels, fantasizing that one day she could travel back to the Qing Dynasty. To this end, she made a lot of preparations, reading the three most popular time-travel novels. Although she only remembered half of the content, it was enough for her to make a great career in ancient times and improve her status.
Unfortunately, Tongjia did all this not to become a strong woman, but to marry a prince and become his woman.
She favored the fourth prince the most, believing that he could become Empress Dowager in the future.
The god of time travel heard her prayers and actually let her travel through time, becoming a girl in the Tongjia family, the niece of the Imperial Concubine Tongjia, and the fourth prince's nominal cousin.
This identity is too good; being close to the source allows her to meet the fourth brother when he was still young, and the two can be said to be childhood sweethearts.
Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia intended to make Tongjia the primary consort of the fourth prince.
Unfortunately, like in history, she died young, passing away before she could arrange a marriage between Tongjia woman and the fourth prince.
When the fourth prince returned to Consort De's side, Consort De naturally did not want Empress Tongjia's niece to become her eldest son's principal wife, so she interfered and made Yinzhen marry Ulanara.
Tongjia Shi time-traveled to be with Yinzhen, how could she possibly give up?
She didn't care whether she was the primary wife or a secondary wife, since Ulanara's sons wouldn't live to adulthood anyway.
As long as she gives birth to several sons for Yinzhen, one of them will eventually become emperor, and then she will be the empress dowager.
Therefore, at her insistence, Lady Tongjia became Yinzhen's concubine.
Lady Tongjia wrote down what she had read in the book about time travel and gave it to Yinzhen.
While the Xia Kingdom was promoting corn and sweet potatoes, the Qing Kingdom also began cultivating them.
Yinzhen commissioned the creation of new spinning machines and agricultural tools, which greatly enhanced the national strength of the Qing Dynasty.
They thought the Qing Dynasty was richer than the Great Xia Dynasty, but the news sent back by the Great Xia spies disappointed everyone.
The Great Xia also had new looms, new agricultural tools, high-yield grain seeds, and cement, a magical tool for building dikes and houses...
The power of the Great Xia Kingdom has consistently surpassed that of the Qing Kingdom.
Comparing the gap between the two countries, Master Kong's youthful ambitions have vanished.
The dream of heading south to roam the Central Plains should be left to my sons.
What frustrated Tongjia even more was that the country's area was no more than the size of the three northeastern provinces in modern times.
Before her time travel, Tongjia was a southerner and found the northern climate very unsuitable, often getting sick as a child.
At that time, she was unaware of the differences in the world she had transmigrated to. She even thought that after becoming the Empress Dowager, she would have a palace built in Jiangnan so that she could retire there.
result……
In any case, Lady Tongjia was very unhappy as she walked the streets of the capital.
Whether or not there were time travelers in the Great Xia Kingdom at that time, she was still unhappy.
The Great Xia Kingdom is preventing her from becoming the most honored woman in the world, so why hasn't the kingdom been destroyed yet?
Liu Xinya was standing on the second floor of the restaurant and looked down, just in time to see Tongjia's muttering.
Tongjia only moved her lips without making a sound, and even Yinzhen, who was beside her, did not know what she said.
But Liu Xinya understood what she was talking about.
Liu Xinya used to be a mercenary and had to learn many skills, one of which was lip reading.
Because she understood what Tongjia was saying, Liu Xinya developed murderous intent towards Tongjia.
It wasn't because she discovered that Tongjia was a time-traveling woman like herself.
Liu Xinya isn't the kind of person who can only have one transmigrator in the world. If the other transmigrator is a good person, she'll even try to become acquainted with them.
If that person's values clash with hers, she won't reveal her identity; she'll simply stay away from that person.
But for the Tongjia clan, it's no longer a matter of differing values.
