Chapter 1 — Five Lives of Changing Mothers

I have accumulated merit for ten lifetimes and can finally become an adult princess. As a result, as soon as I put my penis into my mother's belly, she killed me every time. The first time, she fell on the steps of the palace and slandered An Thuong Tat, and was promoted to Tiep Du. The second time, she drank rose flowers and slandered noble Uyen, and was promoted to Dung Hoa. The third time, she rushed into the rocks of the mountain and bit back Concubine Qi, and was promoted to the throne. The fourth time, she swallowed the food coldly, cursed the Internal Affairs Office, and sat on the throne. Before each time her soul flew away, she would rub her belly and say softly:
“Next time, mother will definitely treat me well.”
This is the fifth time. Just as I calmed down, I heard her whisper to her confidant:
"If I wait three months, I will fall in front of Concubine Hoa. As long as I can overthrow her, no one will be able to compete with me in the future."
I burst out laughing. Four times I couldn't wait to be born, so I could change my mother. No matter who is my mother, that person is the queen. I turned around and put my head into the belly of the most favored Hoa concubine in the six palaces but did not have the other child.

I slowly open my consciousness in the warm breeze. Tham Nhuoc Vi's unique bloodline lingers around, like a net that has entangled me for five lifetimes. This is the fifth time. Unlike the previous four times, I was eager to approach her heart as soon as I arrived. I just quietly collected all my soul, quietly listening to the whispers in the temple. In the interior, the female confidant lowered her voice, each word clearly falling into my soul.
"My lady, I have carefully checked the pulse, this baby is still a female fetus."
Tham Nhuoc Vi's fingertips caressed her flat lower abdomen, her tone was calm, she couldn't hear half of the joy.
"Since it's a female fetus, let it obediently give this palace some of its strength."
"Don't worry, ma'am. I have prepared pigeon blood, and there is also a secret drug that destroys the drug. At that time, the statue will not see any loopholes."
Tham Nhuoc Vi smiled softly, unable to hide her coldness.
"Very good. This person must definitely pull Concubine Hoa down. Overthrow her, and no one will be able to compete with me in the future."
Every word and every sentence seems to go straight into my soul. I unconsciously curled up my incomplete soul, the bottom of my heart felt cold. Not surprised, not even half surprised. I should have known a long time ago, there has never been a single birth, she truly wanted me to be born. Memories covered in dust rose up, bone-deep pain spread through my soul. In my first pregnancy, I had just condensed my complete soul, my heart filled with joy and I pressed close to her heart, lingering on the warmth of this bloodline. But she brought a bowl of black medicine and drank it all without missing a drop. Intense pain swept through my soul, I was broken inch by inch. She falsely accused An Thuong At, and was duly awarded the title Tiep Du. In her second pregnancy, she proactively drank rose water to abort the fetus, framed noble Uyen, and steadily rose to Dung Hoa. In her third pregnancy, she rushed into the jagged rock face of the fake mountain, her whole body was covered in blood, and then bit back Concubine Qi, as if she wished to be granted the position of concubine. During the fourth pregnancy, she ate cold foods every day, slowly eroding my soul. After that, he blamed the Internal Affairs Department for not taking care of him properly Completely, sit directly on the non-seat. Before each time her soul disappeared, she gently rubbed her belly and repeated the lie: Next time, mother will definitely treat me well. I slowly retracted the shadow of my soul that was trying to press towards her heart. No more pressure, no more reliance. I don't want this little bit of false gentleness anymore. Tham Nhuoc Vi's fingertips gently covered her belly, her voice was so gentle that it seemed like water could drip out.
"Be good, when mother overthrows Concubine Hoa and sits on the throne, the next time you are reincarnated, you will be the most noble princess in the world, enjoying endless glory and wealth."
Noble. I was in her belly, laughing coldly without making a sound. Honor must be exchanged for five times my soul being scattered, enduring all my pain and tearing. To me, it's not worth a penny. I calmed down and carefully rearranged the concubines in the harem. Duc Phi has a prince and a solid foundation. The remaining nobles and nobles either had children or were full of plans, all of them were the same type of person as Tham Nhuoc Vi. Only one person caught my eye. African flower. The biological sister and mother of Phu Vien general Nien Canh Nghieu, the whole family has forever guarded the Northwest, holding more than half of the military power on the border. She had been in a non-status position for eleven years, but her belly was empty and she had never given birth to a child. Tham Nhuoc Vi only wanted to use the flesh and blood in her stomach as a stepping stone for the battle in the harem. But Concubine Hoa, she really wanted a child that belonged to her. We have decided in our hearts. Tham Nhuoc Vi is still working with the female doctor to determine the details of the crime. Every sentence never leaves the question of how to take my life and pave a smooth path to her afterlife. I closed my consciousness tightly, refusing to listen to any more of her hypocrisy.

We cannot escape this cell immediately. The soul has the chains of heaven, only in the moment Tham Nhuoc Vi and Concubine Hoa touch each other's skin can I change to another soul. For the next few days, I could only be forced to stay in Tham Nhuoc Vi's body, temporarily hiding. Every day she pretended to take birth control pills, her fingertips caressing her lower abdomen over and over again.
“Be good, hold on a little longer, this time I'll let you feel sorry for yourself.”
But turning around, she immediately called her confidant female doctor to come over and repeatedly check the abortion procedure, calculating how to push all the blame onto Concubine Hoa. I borrowed small words from the palace maids and doctors in the palace, little by little, piecing together the whole picture of Concubine Hoa. She came from a family background, from a young age she studied martial arts with her parents. She had a proud and hot-tempered personality but was straightforward. She had never used malicious tricks or slandered her in the harem. The Nien family holds military power and immense power. In his heart, the emperor always feared the Nien family. Even though Concubine Hoa had monopolized the saint's favor for eleven years, her position was so high that she had no position, that vast palace had never welcomed a son or daughter. Everyone in the palace said that the emperor secretly acted, cutting off her chance to have children. Compare the two people, their height and lowness are immediately clear. When Tham Nhuoc Vi became pregnant, she considered her flesh and blood as a sacrifice to climb higher. If Concubine Hoa could get pregnant, she would just be overjoyed and give her all everything to protect the child. Following Tham Nhuoc Vi, what awaits me is only my scattered soul. Only when we reach Concubine Hoa's belly can we truly be born safely. At dusk on Saturday, Tham Nhuoc Vi sat in front of the dressing table, meticulously pasting gilded field flowers in front of the flower mirror. The close palace maid Thuy Nhi looked panicked, suddenly lifted the curtain and rushed into the inner palace.
"Niang Niang, the Queen Mother passed on the decree! Tomorrow at Dragon time, all the concubines of the harem will gather at Tu Ninh palace to discuss the list of gifts for His Majesty's longevity."
Tham Nhuoc Vi's hand holding the jade comb paused, and her eyes immediately flashed with a calculating light. She put down the comb, lowered her head to look at her lower abdomen, the corner of her mouth curled up into a calculating smile.
"Really?"
"Thousands of corpses, the queen mother's mother personally came to pass on the edict."
I curled up in the warm breath, seeing through her thoughts. In her heart, she only calculated, taking advantage of the opportunity of the concubines gathering at Tu Ninh palace to defend the crime of Hoa Concubine's jealousy and harming the fetus. She raised her hand to gently rub her belly, her tone was relieved.
"It's truly a God-given opportunity. Before and after the season, this palace must definitely perform this play with dignity."
In her mind, the only thing in her mind was how to borrow this knowledge of mine to destroy Concubine Hoa and wipe out the hindrances. But in our hearts we are only calculating something else. Tomorrow at Tu Ninh palace, all the concubines will be present, Concubine Hoa will definitely come. Tham Nhuoc Vi will definitely take the initiative to get closer and create an opportunity for physical contact. That is the only gap through which we can escape. Tham Nhuoc Vi was still looking into the bronze mirror, repeatedly practicing the look of weakness and fear on her face, her small voice rehearsing the words of crying as she fell down. She smiled complacently, her eyes hiding her ambition to win. I was quiet in the dark depths of my stomach, and my soul was quietly curled up. She hopes to overthrow Concubine Hoa once. And I hope to borrow this carefully arranged chess game by her to completely escape her control. This time, I will absolutely not let her oppress me and become a sacrifice in the struggle for power and gain.

The next day at Dragon time, Tu Ninh Palace's main hall was warm and comfortable. The Queen Mother sat upright on the throne, her eyes and eyebrows gentle. Below, the concubines stood in order of rank, taking turns coming forward to announce the offerings for the longevity feast. Duc Phi was the first to step up, her voice softening and saying that she wanted to perform a dance to pray for good fortune and longevity. The concubine prepared a hand-embroidered painting of a hundred years old. Low-ranking nobles competed for advancement, either composing music or painting, each showing off their talents to please the cross and the queen mother. Tham Nhuoc Vi stood in the middle of the team. From the moment she entered the temple, her hand never left her lower abdomen for even a moment. Her movements were deliberately slow, occasionally frowning, pretending that her impression was not right. Every gesture reminded everyone, causing the surrounding concubines to constantly glance at her. I stood there coldly watching, with only sarcasm in my heart. No one knew that this child in her womb had already been marked by her as the price of sacrifice. The Queen Mother glanced around, her eyes fell on Concubine Hoa standing at the end of the line, and faintly opened her mouth.
"Concubine Hoa, this year the saint's longevity is high, what are your thoughts?"
The concubine wears a palace outfit The color is crimson, the eyebrows and eyes carry the pride of a female minister. Hearing that, she did not panic and quickly stood up, knelt down and bowed. Steady, straightforward voice:
"During the time of the Queen Mother, my concubine personally copied a volume of the Diamond Sutra, burned incense and recited it every day, only praying for the saint's blessings."
Hearing that, the Queen Mother smiled and nodded.
"Having a good heart is good. Compared to vanity and jewels, this kind of sincerity is very rare."
Tham Nhuoc Vi tilted her head and glanced at Concubine Hoa, her eyes quickly flashed a trace of contempt and jealousy. I relied on her bloodline and felt the malice rolling in her heart. She despised Concubine Hoa's straightforward appearance and hated Concubine Hoa's mother's family even more, monopolizing the saint's favor, blocking her path to the throne. Not long after, the Queen Mother looked tired, waved her hand, and signaled the concubines to retreat first. The concubines lined up in an orderly manner, one by one, going out of the main hall of Tu Ninh palace, arriving at the white jade threshold outside the palace. The time has come. Tham Nhuoc Vi's footsteps suddenly deviated sharply, her whole body intentionally leaned forward, crashing straight into Concubine Hoa's body. She let out an "oh my" sound, showing off in a fake manner. Anyone who saw it would have assumed that Concubine Hoa reached out and pushed the pregnant woman. But she calculated everything, but missed the most important point. Concubine Hoa learned martial arts from a young age, and her reactions were far beyond those of ordinary women in the womb.
