Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

Chapter 52 I never expected the clown to be me.

Wang Xianrong's hand trembled, and she glared angrily at Wang Yurong: "What I am is none of your business, and your mother's business. Get out!"

Although Wang Xianrong and Wang Yurong are biological sisters, they have different mothers. Wang Xianrong's mother was the first wife, who passed away a long time ago, while Wang Yurong's mother was the second wife.

Although the two sisters maintain a respectable facade on the surface, they are not on good terms in private.

"Why are you angry, elder sister?" Wang Yurong smiled. "What I said may be harsh, but it is the truth."

"If you give birth to the Marquis's eldest son, you'll have a chance after I enter the palace. Otherwise, you'll be a concubine for life. Are you willing to accept that?"

Wang Xianrong was so angry that her breathing became labored, and her gaze towards Wang Yurong was filled with hatred.

After a long silence, she gave a soft "heh": "I'm afraid my sister thinks that if I give birth to the Marquis's eldest son, it will be more beneficial for my sister to enter the palace in the future. Then my sister will also have a chance to compete for the Empress's throne."

“Sister, you have a discerning eye. We are sisters, and we share the same fate. If I recover, you will naturally be blessed as well. One day, even if I become the princess, you will not have to bow down to her.”

Wang Yurong's ambition was much greater than Wang Xianrong's, or rather, the Wang family's ambition had never been small.

When Xie Qu left Qindu, Wang Xianrong chased after Cheng Yan. In the beginning, there was no sincerity between them.

However, all of these were due to weighing the pros and cons and being forced by family pressure.

Moreover, at that time, in order to consolidate the court and win over the Wang family, Wang Xianrong had a high chance of marrying Cheng Yan.

However, no one expected that Empress Dowager Cheng would do something like marrying her adopted daughter to her own brother, catching the Wang family completely off guard.

In the end, Wang Xianrong had no choice but to settle for second best and become a concubine.

Originally, the Wang family thought that Princess Yizhen was too young to share a room with Cheng Yan. Even if Wang Xianrong became a concubine, she could still have a chance to compete by giving birth to the eldest son before the princess.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xianrong has been dragging it out for more than two years. She is already twenty years old this year and still hasn't had the chance to share a room with Cheng Yan. In addition, Qin Yizhen and Cheng Yan seem to be getting back together, so the Wang family is getting anxious.

If Qin Yizhen and Cheng Yan are a loving couple and have a legitimate eldest son in the future, what chance will Wang Xianrong have? Wang Xianrong, the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, will be completely ruined.

"Sister, are you still thinking about Xie Qu? He's about to die, how could you still be unable to let him go? What if the Marquis finds out..."

"Shut up!" Wang Xianrong's expression changed drastically. She grabbed a soft pillow from the side and threw it on the ground. "Get out! My affairs are none of your business. Get out!"

"you......"

"roll!"

This was the first time Wang Yurong had been repeatedly told to "get lost" by someone pointing their finger at her, and she felt a surge of anger.

"Alright, since you don't want to see me, I'll leave. But please remember, if you give birth to the eldest son before the princess, you'll never have a chance to turn your life around."

After saying this, Wang Yurong turned and left.

Wang Xianrong sat on the bed, her face deathly pale as she looked at the golden bed curtains.

Sometimes she couldn't understand why she, a legitimate daughter of the Wang family, had gradually fallen into this desperate situation, having to rely on vying for favor and bearing children to secure a place for herself.

When she and Xie Qu fell in love, the Wang and Xie families forcibly separated them. She felt pain, hatred, and despair, but she knew in her heart that the royal family would never allow the Wang and Xie families to marry.

So she compromised and, after weighing the power struggles with Wang Jiaheng, chose to fall in love with Cheng Yan, the favored concubine's younger brother.

Later, Emperor Taizong fell seriously ill and passed away, and his favorite concubine became Empress Dowager.

She was overjoyed, feeling that her choice was right this time, and that she would eventually marry him and become his wife.

But she never expected that Empress Dowager Cheng would marry Qin Yizhen to Cheng Yan.

Her marriage prospects ended once again.

She was truly unwilling to accept it; why hadn't either of her two relationships with the same man ended in anything?

Does that mean she doesn't deserve it?

The Wang family analyzed the pros and cons and gave her a choice between replacing the person or becoming Cheng Yan's concubine. She chose the latter.

Perhaps she was truly tired and didn't want to fall in love with someone else, or perhaps she was confident that Cheng Yan could be devoted to her.

Or perhaps they felt that the princess was too young and was merely occupying a position; as Wang Yurong said, if Wang Yurong were to become the empress one day, she might not be unable to turn the tables.

But what she never expected was that Cheng Yan was actually crazy; he actually liked Qin Yizhen, who was young, naive, and still a little girl.

You know, Qin Yizhen used to call him "little uncle" all the time, how could he have such a shameless thought?

The Empress Dowager's bestowal of marriage, the promise of peace and tranquility—it was all something he begged for himself, just to seize her for himself and prevent anyone else from competing with him.

She thought Princess Qin Yizhen was an outsider in her relationship with Cheng Yan, but she never expected that she herself would be the clown.

Thinking of this, Wang Xianrong suddenly coughed violently. She covered her mouth with her handkerchief, and as she coughed, she coughed up a mouthful of blood. She looked at the glaring red on the handkerchief, then her eyes rolled back, and she fainted weakly.

Before she fainted, she seemed to hear the maid's panicked screams.

......

Qin Yizhen and Cheng Yan spent the morning in the palace. They had lunch with Emperor Jing'an at noon before leaving. Cheng Yan went directly to the Ministry of War, while Qin Yizhen returned home alone.

She had just returned to Chunxie Courtyard when she heard from a maid that Wang Xianrong had vomited blood and fainted.

Qin Yizhen's expression changed slightly: "Why would you vomit blood and faint?"

"It seems that the Wang family came and said something to Aunt Wang. After the Wang family left, Aunt Wang vomited blood and fainted."

"Have you had the royal physician examine you?"

"Yes, the royal physician went to examine Consort Wang and said that she had been holding a grudge for a long time. In a fit of anger, she suffered a heart attack and vomited blood. She will need to rest and recuperate for a while afterward."

Qin Yizhen nodded, wanting to send someone to check on them, but Granny Jin and Granny Gui were still bedridden, and although Lü Qiao could get out of bed, she walked awkwardly and inconveniently.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Go and invite Aunt Song over."

It would be appropriate to send Song Pingping on this trip.

"Yes."

Before long, the maid invited Song Pingping to Chunxie Courtyard and had someone select some tonics from the mansion's storeroom to be delivered to her.

"She probably doesn't want to see me, and I'm too lazy to make the trip. Just tell her that she is a member of the Cheng family after all, and if the Wang family dares to bully her, she doesn't have to put up with it."

Wang Xianrong was proud by nature, and being someone's concubine was always a thorn in her side. Since she was ill, it was best for her to stay away from people.

Although Song Pingping and Wang Xianrong didn't get along well, she was worried when she learned that Wang Xianrong had vomited blood, so she immediately agreed to help.

"Princess, rest assured, Pingping will go and take a look right away."
