Chapter 9 A Pair of Worthless Mother and Daughter
Qin Mengxi looked Ye Qichi over and nodded approvingly, "As long as you and Prince Chen are doing well, I can rest assured. Even though Prince Chen is not favored by the Emperor and has little say in the court, at least the Empress Dowager has always been supportive of him. The Empress also has to show the Empress Dowager respect, and on the surface, she treats Prince Chen quite well. As long as you and Prince Chen lead a good life, you can also live in wealth and splendor."
Ye Qichi listened to Qin Mengxi with a smile and silently contemplated the storyline.
Originally in the text, Xiao Jinxing's birth was not fortunate; he was born from a palace maid Liu Yanxi, whom the Emperor doted on when he was drunk.
Liu Yanxi, benefiting from her son's privileged status, was granted the title of concubine. With her ability to sing and dance, her beautiful appearance, and the young Xiao Jinxing's exceptional talents, excelling in his studies effortlessly, he stood out among the imperial offspring, making the Emperor very fond of her.
In the harem, being too prominent naturally makes one the target of envy. Liu Yanxi was drugged when she was off guard and engaged in a frivolous act with the Imperial Physician who came to treat her, and was caught in the act by the Emperor.
The Emperor would naturally not tolerate being cuckolded. Liu Yanxi was then granted the white silk on the spot, and Xiao Jinxing became a thorn in the Emperor's side as a result.
Xiao Jinxing watched his mother die before him, unwilling to accept her fate.
Before her death, she made Xiao Jinxing vow to avenge her!
However, not long after, Xiao Jinxing encountered an assassination attempt in the Imperial Palace, and though his life was saved, he was left with a permanent disability in his legs.
At just ten years old, Xiao Jinxing, in that one year, lost his loved ones, his prestige, and his health!
He fell from heaven into hell.
