After my inner voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 38

"This..." Li Shimin's smile froze instantly, and he felt disappointed. He thought Li Qingge would have some good ideas, but he didn't expect that he would be rejected directly. At this moment, he seemed to hear a distant voice ringing in his ears, which was a little teasing, but full of confidence.

[Ask me? Although I have a mountain of food, I cannot use it easily, so as not to violate the rules of the system.]

[As for manpower, I am the master of several major sects in the martial arts world. They respect me like a god. As long as I give them a little bit of benefits, I can gather a large group of people. ]

[As for those foreign people, as long as there is money to be made, they will flock here. ]

Li Qingge thought about it in her mind and finally said only one sentence: "In this world, there is no problem that cannot be solved by money." Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had already seen the future victory.

When Li Shimin heard this, a ray of hope seemed to shine into the abyss of despair. He was surprised and thought: "This kid actually hid so much food and money? Where did she get all this money?" The idea of ​​damming the river burned in his heart again. "She wants to build a dam and dam the river by herself? No matter where her money comes from, her heart is already rare."

When Li Shimin was thinking about how to find an excuse to hand over the task of river management to Li Qingge, he heard her voice again, which carried a hint of cunning and expectation.

[Although there is enough money and food, there must be a legitimate reason. 】

[Oh right! Mr. Qian, a good man! ]

[He is now the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, and no one would doubt him if he were to invest.]

[How can I hint to Your Majesty that I can use the name of Mr. Qian? ]

Li Qingge frowned, thinking about the national event of river management. If successful, she might be rewarded by the system, and return to the original world to create glory again and compete with Lao Ma. Thinking of this, her heart surged, and her eyes flashed with determination.

"Mr. Qian?" Li Shimin suddenly realized that this guy was really smart! Using a shell company to do charity not only solved the funding problem but also avoided unnecessary trouble. If Mr. Qian could come forward, then food and money would not be a problem.

The emperor and his minister exchanged glances tacitly. Although they appeared calm on the surface, their hearts were already in turmoil. Li Qingge's inadvertent revelation of her inner thoughts made Li Shimin more determined to entrust her with the important task of river management.

"Controlling the Yellow River is not an easy task, but if we retreat, it will be tantamount to abandoning the people downstream. If the Yellow River floods again, the lives of the people will be in danger." "This is absolutely not what we in the Tang Dynasty should do!" "Therefore, my determination to control the Yellow River is as solid as a rock, and no one can shake it!" Li Shimin said seriously, his voice echoing in the empty hall, and all the officials were stunned after hearing it.

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials bowed their heads in agreement, but they felt mixed emotions. Some of them were amazed at Li Qingge's intelligence, while others were worried about the difficulty of the river management task.

"Although the national treasury is empty, we can seek help from wealthy businessmen in the private sector." "General Cheng, you had a pleasant cooperation with Mr. Qian when you were controlling floods in Jiangnan. Can you visit him again and ask him to donate generously to help us control the Yellow River?" Li Shimin looked at Li Qingge with a smile, his eyes full of expectation and trust.

"I will do my best." Li Qingge nodded in agreement, but was secretly delighted in his heart.

[I was just worrying about how to bring out Mr. Qian, and Your Majesty actually brought it up first. That's great! ]

[This would save a lot of trouble. The officials would definitely say that even with the help of wealthy and kind people, it would not necessarily be possible to successfully control the Yellow River.]

[But they don’t know who is the real richest man in the Tang Dynasty. ]

Li Qingge smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, the air of wealth and nobility almost overflowed. Her heart was full of confidence and expectation, as if she had already seen the future victory. She knew that this battle to control the river would be a great opportunity for her to leave a strong mark in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

"Hey, this..."

The scene before them stunned all the civil and military officials in the court. They simply couldn't believe their ears. Is His Majesty going to ask that great philanthropist Qian for help? Inside the hall, the candlelight flickered, reflecting on everyone's face, forming mottled light and shadow, adding a bit of incredible atmosphere.

Although the Qian family was rich enough to rival a country, how could they pile up a mountain of grain in the blink of an eye? Even if they could, how could they be willing to donate all of it? The doubts in everyone's hearts grew like weeds. No one could have imagined that Li Shimin, who was so wise, would come up with such an idea.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" An old minister stroked his beard, frowned, and looked puzzled.

"This method is really confusing." Another minister shook his head, looking confused.

"Although Mr. Qian is a good man, he can't give away all his belongings, right? Besides, his assets may not be enough to control the river." A young official whispered, revealing a bit of worry in his words.

"That's right. River management is more difficult and risky than fighting a war." Another general echoed, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" a minister couldn't help but ask, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Normally, when His Majesty makes a decision, everyone will praise him, even if they don't all say good things. But today, it was unusual, and no one dared to agree. Using a great philanthropist's money to repair the river? And sending some unreliable people to do it? This is simply a fantasy!

Everyone turned their eyes to Fang Xuanling and other old ministers, hoping that they would stand up and say something. But Fang Xuanling and his men were also confused and had not yet recovered. Their eyes revealed a bit of confusion and bewilderment, as if they were also shocked by the decision of His Majesty.

At this moment, Wei Zheng seemed to wake up from a dream, took a step forward, and his face was solemn. He knew that the Qian family was rich, but he didn't believe that the great man Qian would be so generous. If this thing went wrong, not only would the river not be rectified, but it might also become a laughing stock for future generations. By then, it would be just a joke in the history books, wouldn't it?
"Your Majesty, please think twice before you act!" Wei Zheng's voice was filled with earnestness and worry.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin interrupted Wei Zheng's words with a wave of his hand, and his face was obviously unhappy. His eyes revealed a bit of firmness and determination, as if he had made up his mind.

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind. Within three days, there will be news from General Cheng. Before that, I have my own arrangements. Within a few days, my plan will surely succeed." There was some confidence and majesty in Li Shimin's voice.

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked towards the inner hall, with a smug smile on his face. That smile revealed a bit of mystery and confidence, as if he had already seen the success in the future.

Li Qingge, who was standing aside, was so excited. Her eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation, as if she had seen her future glory.

[I didn't expect this mission to be so important? If the river is successfully tamed, it will benefit all generations. I will definitely be included in the reward.] Li Qingge thought to herself, her lips curled up, her eyes full of longing.

[When the time comes, I wonder how much honor His Majesty will give me. Wouldn't I really become the chosen one? ] She thought proudly in her heart, as if she had seen herself standing at the pinnacle of glory.

Since crossing over to this world, Li Qingge has relied on the system for help and gained a lot of benefits. But compared with those true chosen ones, he always feels that there is something missing. His greatest achievement is to worship a martial arts master as his teacher. Now, the important task of river control has fallen on his shoulders. If he can succeed, it will be truly earth-shaking.

"We must act quickly and cultivate more good farmland to ensure sufficient food supply." Li Qingge thought to herself, her eyes revealing a bit of determination and resolve.

"We have to find a way to gather the money and manpower." She frowned. Although she was excited, she knew that the task was arduous and she had to do it herself.

Thinking of this, she put her hands behind her back and walked out of the hall slowly. Her steps were calm and confident, as if she had already seen the success in the future.

All the officials followed her out, looking at her with strange eyes, their faces full of confusion and doubt. They didn't understand why His Majesty would entrust such an important task to someone who looked so relaxed. This was simply a joke on the future of the Tang Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, what is going on? How can such a serious matter as river management be treated so lightly?" A minister could not help but mutter, with a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in his voice.

"That guy is a waste, how can he succeed? I'm afraid even the gods can't help him." Another minister echoed, his eyes revealing a bit of contempt and disdain.

"That's right. If we don't have enough money and food, our Tang Dynasty will really become a joke." A young official muttered softly, with a hint of worry and uneasiness in his voice.

"If the foreigners knew about this, wouldn't they be laughing their heads off?" another general snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with anger and dissatisfaction.

All the officials were disheartened. They could not understand why His Majesty made such a decision. Was it true that one wrong step led to all the wrong steps? They were filled with doubts and uneasiness, as if they saw the bleak future of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Qingge ignored these doubts and dissatisfactions. She just had a scornful smile on her lips, and her eyes flashed with a bit of confidence. She knew that excellent people are always prone to jealousy and resentment, which is normal. She didn't care about the opinions of these officials, because she knew that she had the golden finger of the system, and as long as she worked hard, she would be able to succeed.

Li Qingge's figure gradually faded away, leaving behind sighs and confusion in the court. But her heart was already filled with longing and expectation for the future. She knew that this would be a difficult battle, but she also believed that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to create a glorious era of her own.

Speaking of this guy Li Qingge, what is his background? Hey, many people whispered in private that he was just a young man with no real skills! If it weren't for his father Cheng Yaojin's famous name, I'm afraid he would never step into the court in his life. People didn't say him directly, but it was for the sake of General Cheng. After all, Cheng Yaojin fought on the battlefield all his life and made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty. Who wouldn't respect him? Who wouldn't be afraid of him?
But it's strange, how come our Majesty is fascinated by him? This matter is really confusing. Could it be that the recent rumors are true? It is said that there is something unclear between Li Qingge and His Majesty? Oh, if this is true, the hat on General Cheng's head will be green! As soon as these words came out, everyone's thoughts became more firm, and they cast doubtful eyes, but they did not dare to discuss it openly.

As they were discussing, a loud voice suddenly came, shocking everyone. "Don't underestimate him, who said Li Qingge is useless? Think about it, why does the great man Qian always donate food generously? It's because of General Cheng's face!" When everyone heard it, they turned their heads and saw Fang Xuanling walking towards them with big strides, his face full of righteousness.

"Master Fang, what do you mean?" Everyone frowned upon hearing this, and looked at Fang Xuanling in unison, their hearts full of curiosity and confusion. Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, smiled, his eyes sparkling, and said slowly: "Don't forget, Mr. Qian's good deeds started after General Cheng's visit. Since then, the grain donations have never stopped. I don't believe that this matter was not done by General Cheng!" After saying that, he smiled bitterly, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the palace gate leisurely, leaving a group of officials looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, everyone started to murmur. "Master Fang, is it possible that General Cheng has some secrets that we don't know about?" "Well, that makes sense." "It seems that Li Qingge is not a simple guy!" At this moment, the image of Li Qingge in everyone's mind has completely changed, and suspicions are everywhere.

As for our Li Qingge, she had already left the palace, rode a fast horse, and returned to Cheng Mansion in a flash. She was wearing an elegant dress with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy descending to the earth. After returning to Cheng Mansion, she first lay down on the brocade couch, rested for a while, and enjoyed the tranquility and serenity of the mansion. Then, as usual, she strolled to the back garden, fiddled with the flowers and plants, and went to see the thousand acres of fertile land. She thought to herself that if she could find a way to reclaim this wasteland to grow food, then there would be no worries about food and grass for river management.

[Alas, I wish the system could open a backdoor, otherwise I would have to ask that kid Li Shimin to give me a piece of land.] Li Qingge muttered to herself, [Although this wilderness is very large, it’s hard to ask him to give me land!] She sighed and decided to give her Tiangong Lao Niu a try. If Lao Niu can do it, wouldn’t the land naturally become hers?
"Old Bull of the Heavenly Palace, come out!" Li Qingge looked around and confirmed that no one was peeping, then released Old Bull from the system. The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if the whole world was shocked. With a flash of golden light, Old Bull turned into a dragon-shaped phantom, appearing majestically in the air, like an invincible god of war.

"Roar!" The old cow roared, mixed with the thunder, shaking the entire city of Chang'an three times. The livestock and poultry were frightened and ran around. The common people looked up and were in awe. They all started discussing, "What on earth is going on?"

"Did Your Majesty's river management work anger God?" Everyone was so panicked that no one dared to guess.

Looking at the wilderness again, dark clouds were pressing down like fog. Li Qingge stood in the wind, her clothes fluttering, but she was not panicked at all. She looked at the roars of dragons and tigers in the sky with a smile, feeling very proud. She thought to herself: "The old bull in the Heavenly Palace is different. He can even split the sky, so isn't it a piece of cake to reclaim wasteland? As long as the old bull is out, this land will be as soft as tofu. By then, this land will be mine! Hehe, my green territory can be expanded again!"

Although Li Qingge was confident, her palms were still sweating. She took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Old Bull of Heavenly Palace! It's time to act!" As soon as she finished speaking, a thunderbolt struck down. The old bull rushed down with the thunder, as if it was going to tear the earth apart. But just as it was about to enter the earth, it seemed to hit a barrier, twisted its body a few times, and soared into the sky again, wandering in the dark clouds, not daring to come down again.

"Oh no! Wrong decision!" Li Qingge's face darkened when she saw this. Her heart felt cold, as if she had eaten a popsicle. She stared at the old cow in the sky with wide eyes, her heart full of doubts and unwillingness. She thought to herself: "What's going on? Is there something special about this wasteland? Why can't the old cow cultivate it?" She frowned and began to think carefully.

[It seems that it is not feasible to exploit the loopholes in the system to open up this wilderness.] Li Qingge stood in front of the window, looking at the vast uncultivated land outside the window, thinking secretly in her heart. The sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on her face, coating her slightly resolute outline with a layer of soft gold. Her eyes were deep, as if she could see through the essence of all things in the world, but at this moment, she was carrying a trace of imperceptible worry.

[That is to say, just as I thought in my heart, if I want to get this so-called wilderness, I must ask Li Shimin to give it to me.] She sighed softly, turned back to the desk, and gently ran her fingertips across the map on the desk. The wasteland was like an unsolved mystery, lying quietly in her plan. She frowned slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.

[It's easy to make achievements, but it's inevitable that you will become famous, which will...] ​​Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden inspiration, and a sly light flashed in her eyes. Li Qingge stood up, walked to the window, looked at the prosperous Chang'an City in the distance, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face, as if she had a flash of inspiration and found the key to solving the problem. "No, I don't have to let him give me this land. If I pay for it..." She whispered to herself, with a confident light in her eyes.

Li Qingge's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a naughty smile, a smile that was a mixture of wisdom and cunning, making people curious about how she would plan next. At this moment, a bold idea came to her mind, like a bud breaking through the ground in spring, full of vitality and hope.

Tongbao Money House was bustling with people. The collision of copper coins, silver and gold ingots echoed in the money house like a pleasant movement, forming the most beautiful sound in the world. This is the intersection of wealth and dreams, attracting the attention of countless people.

In a shady spot in the backyard, Qian Fengtian was lying on a rocking chair, enjoying a moment of peace. He opened his eyes slightly, with a satisfied look on his face, as if all the prosperity in the world was within his control.

"Listening to the sound just now, it should be the sound of Bai Liang Gold. If I'm not mistaken, it is another wealthy businessman from outside the area who comes here to deposit money." He muttered to himself, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"My Tongbao Money House's business is getting better and better, and the money is coming in! All this is thanks to big brother." He was filled with emotion, and the heroic figure of Li Qingge emerged in his mind. He felt both awe and gratitude in his heart.

However, the next second, his brows slightly frowned, and a trace of uneasiness surged in his heart. Although the boy was a god of wealth, life is full of fortune and misfortune. It is difficult to guess what kind of huge power is behind him, but he is obviously tied to him. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster depends entirely on God's will. However, Qian Toyota did not care much at the moment. Even if the final disaster came, he had been glorious and had the name of "Qian Da Shanren", which even shocked the entire Chang'an City. Thinking of this, he felt that he had no regrets in his life.

The hall was filled with noise and exclamations could be heard from time to time, which were praises and admiration for Mr. Qian and his bank.

"Is this the bank of Mr. Qian the Great?" a wealthy businessman from another place exclaimed, his eyes full of awe.

"I heard that the owner of this place is a very kind-hearted person! He even donated all his food to the Jiangnan flood." Another wealthy businessman interjected, his tone full of admiration.

"All the grain? Don't you underestimate the great man Qian? He just took out a portion of the grain in his warehouse and solved the flood problem in the south of the Yangtze River." The person next to him corrected him, his eyes flashing with endless admiration for Qian Toyota.

"Only part of it?"

"Of course! I heard that he has an inexhaustible granary. If you take out a bag of grain from it, the granary will automatically replenish two bags of grain. It's simply amazing."

"So, he is the richest man in the Tang Dynasty?"

"of course?"

Although these words were exaggerated and legendary, they were undoubtedly praising Qian Toyota's generosity and wealth. Whenever Qian Toyota heard such voices, he couldn't help but sneer and secretly laugh at the ignorance and naivety of the world.

An inexhaustible granary? What a joke! How could such a thing exist in this world? The reason why the food was able to appear smoothly was because of General Cheng? Moreover, the food came from unknown sources, and he could only donate it with his own hands. This shows how meticulous General Cheng's mind is. On the surface, he looks like a complete waste, and his reputation in Chang'an City is very bad. However, only Qian Toyota knows how deep his scheming is.

Whenever he thought of this, Qian Toyota couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt a chill down his spine. He always felt that the water in Chang'an was too deep, and behind Li Qingge was an unimaginable huge force.

"Master, someone wants to see you." Just then, a waiter walked in quickly and interrupted Qian Toyota's thoughts.

Qian Toyota frowned and rolled his eyes: "No! Can't you see I'm lying here resting?" He suddenly felt anxious. Ever since he became famous, there was an endless stream of wealthy businessmen who came to him because of his fame, which made him very annoyed.

However, the guy did not retreat, but said hesitantly: "But..."

"There's nothing to worry about. Just tell those who want to see me that I'm not feeling well today and ask them to go as far away as possible." Qian Toyota interrupted impatiently.

"Really? Mr. Qian rejected my call so quickly?" At this moment, a slow voice suddenly sounded behind the guy, with a bit of teasing and ridicule.

Qian Toyota's face changed, and he quickly turned over and sat up, but fell directly off the recliner. The moment he got up, his face was already full of smiles, as if he had seen a long-lost relative.

"It's you, big brother! Where are you from? Just tell me what you want me to do and I will do my best to do it." He said respectfully, his back slumped and his face full of flattering look.

Seeing this scene, the guy was confused. What was going on? This young man looked very ordinary, why would the boss call him big brother? And he looked like he had seen his real big brother.

"Why don't you go and make some tea? What are you doing here?" Qian Toyota kicked the guy on the butt and urged him.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The waiter suddenly came to his senses and hurried to make the best tea.

"Business has been good recently." Li Qingge said casually with a faint smile, and then sat casually on the recliner, as if this was her home.

"It's all thanks to big brother. Without big brother, my Tongbao Money House would never have reached its current size, and would definitely not have such good business." Qian Toyota nodded and bowed, naturally not daring to take all the credit on himself.

"I came here today because I want you to do something important." Li Qingge said lightly, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

"I heard... I heard something. Could it be that this matter is related to Big Brother?" Qian Fengtian's face changed, and he was shocked. Why would Big Brother suddenly bring up this matter? Could it be...

Sure enough, at this moment, Li Qingge said calmly: "Although it has nothing to do with me, it has something to do with you. You have to do something for me today."

"No matter what it is, just tell me, I will do my best." Qian Toyota straightened his back, looking like he had no choice but to do it.

"You will meet the emperor in person today and buy that piece of wasteland in the north of the city. No matter how much it costs, you must get it!" Li Qingge's words were concise and clear, but revealed his unquestionable determination.

"What?" Qian Toyota was shocked, his eyes widened suddenly, he couldn't believe his ears. He never thought that Li Qingge would ask him to do such a thing. However, looking at Li Qingge's determined eyes, he knew that he had to go all out for this matter.

Qian Toyota was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, his face regaining its usual calmness and shrewdness. "Don't worry, big brother. I will do my best in this matter, but..." He paused slightly, as if he had some concerns, "Although the wasteland seems useless, if the emperor knows our intentions, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

Li Qingge smiled lightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "Price is not the problem, the key lies in speed and secrecy. You must complete the transaction as quickly as possible, and do not let outsiders know that this matter has anything to do with us. As for the silver, I will arrange it myself."

Qian Fengtian had some doubts when he heard this, but he was more trusting and respectful of Li Qingge. He nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, big brother, I know what to do. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to see the emperor and will live up to your trust."

The next day, Qian Fengtian, dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding a name card, stepped into the gate of the palace. After some negotiations, he finally got the opportunity to meet Li Shimin. In the imperial study, Qian Fengtian spoke eloquently, asking the emperor to grant him the wasteland north of the city for reclamation on the grounds of developing agriculture and benefiting the people, and promised to invest a lot of money to turn it into fertile land.

Li Shimin was very moved after hearing this. In addition, Qian Fengtian had a good reputation among the people, so he readily agreed and sold the wasteland to Qian Fengtian at a symbolic price. The transaction was completed quickly and low-key, just as Li Qingge wished.

When the news came back, Li Qingge felt relieved. She knew that this was only the first step of the plan. In the following days, she secretly arranged and used Qian Fengtian's bank as a cover to quietly inject funds into the development of the wasteland. At the same time, she recruited skilled craftsmen to design and build a series of water conservancy facilities, which gradually brought life to the originally barren land.

A few months later, when the scene of lush greenery and abundant harvests appeared before the world, everyone was shocked. Li Qingge, standing on a high place, looked at the land that she had planned to transform, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.

She has not forgotten her original intention. This piece of land is not only her wealth, but also the cornerstone of her ideal. She decided to build this place into a comprehensive community integrating agriculture, handicrafts and education, so that more people can benefit and truly realize her "paradise".

Qian Fengtian also gained unprecedented prestige and benefits in this cooperation. He was more convinced that following Li Qingge was the wisest choice in his life. The cooperation between the two not only changed the fate of the wasteland, but also quietly rewritten the future of Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty.

In the 22nd year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, the capital was prosperous as a dream, but it also had hidden mysteries. The spring breeze blew through the winding alleys of the Eight Great Hutongs, and they all seemed to carry some unknown secrets. Deep in this hutong, Baixiang Tower was like an enchanting flower in the dark night, quietly blooming its temptation and danger. Behind this building, there was an inconspicuous courtyard hidden. In the courtyard, a shabby woodshed was tightly closed, as if it was a microcosm of all the sufferings in the world.

"Wow, I'm so scared. I want to go home so much!" The faint cry was like the faintest starlight in the night sky, trying hard to penetrate the darkness but being swallowed up mercilessly in the end.

"Dad, Mom, where are you? Please take me home." The girl's voice was filled with endless longing and despair. Every one of her calls was like a heavy hammer, hitting the heart of Li Qingge who was also trapped here.

"I really don't want to entertain those guests. The people here all have hideous faces. Who can save me from this sea of ​​suffering?" This helpless plea is like the last fallen leaf in winter, drifting down alone, but no one cares.

Li Qingge barely opened her heavy eyelids, and the world in front of her was blurry and dim. She struggled to see everything around her, and saw that this small space was crowded with a dozen young girls. Their faces looked particularly tender under the dim light, but their eyes were full of fear and pain. They were wearing tattered long-sleeved clothes, and their hands and feet were tightly bound by thick hemp ropes, as if they were birds imprisoned by fate, losing the freedom to fly.

"Where is this? Have I traveled through time again?" Li Qingge was confused. She tried to recall why she was here, but her mind was blank. Only a severe headache came like a tide.

Suddenly, a strong memory flashed through the night sky like lightning, illuminating her thoughts.

crossed!
I actually traveled through time again!

This time, she actually traveled back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!

The original owner of this body was also called Li Qingge, an orphan girl who was adopted by a farming couple named Jin. She should have lived an ordinary and happy life, but due to an accident, her parents died and she was sold to a brothel by her vicious uncle.

Li Qingge's heart sank to the bottom. She looked around and felt the same way as the girls. Some of them were kidnapped, some were robbed, and some were sold by their relatives. Each of them had an unknown tragic story. And she, a soul that originally traveled to the Tang Dynasty, unexpectedly became one of them. This trick of fate made her feel extremely desperate.

"Alas!" Li Qingge sighed bitterly. She thought of the heroines in those time-travel novels, who were either princesses or concubines of princes, enjoying wealth and love. But she herself became a village girl in the dust, facing unknown fear and humiliation.

Just when she was feeling discouraged, a soft and cute voice suddenly sounded in her mind, like a ray of warm sunshine in spring, penetrating the cold and darkness.

[Ding! The host has been detected to have traveled through time, the system is activating...]

System? Li Qingge was stunned, and then she felt an indescribable joy in her heart. The golden finger is here! As an old reader of time-travel and rebirth novels, she knows the power and magic of the system. With the system, she may be able to change her own destiny, and even change the tragedy of this era.

Just as she was immersed in joy, the system's voice sounded again, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

[The system has been activated, please select a life template! ]

[One, the royal princess, recognizes her ancestry, helps her mother defeat the concubine, supports her brother to succeed to the throne, finds a talented and handsome husband, and lives a happy life! ]

[Second, rebel and claim the throne, sweep the feudal dregs into the dust of history, build a new society with equality between men and women, and become a heroine who will go down in history! ]

Li Qingge was stunned. Royal princess? She was full of doubts. Wasn't Li Qingge an orphan? How did she suddenly become a royal princess?
[Answer host, your true identity is actually the fifth daughter of Emperor Qianlong and Empress Nara, a legitimate daughter of the Gulun Princess, a genuine royal branch and jade leaf.] The system's voice was calm and firm, as if revealing a fate that had already been predetermined.

Li Qingge felt mixed emotions, she was surprised and confused. It turned out that she was the most noble daughter of this era, the flesh and blood of Emperor Qianlong. But why did she end up here and become a poor woman in a brothel? What secrets and conspiracies were hidden in this?

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her heart. No matter what happened in the past, now that she had the system, she had the opportunity to change her fate. She must seize this opportunity and find a bright way out for herself and for these girls who were also imprisoned.

So, she made a firm choice: "I choose... to rebel and become king!" Her voice was small, but full of determination and strength. She knew that this was a road full of thorns, but she was willing to challenge this unfair world for freedom and equality, for those who suffered like her.

The system's voice sounded again, with a hint of approval: [Host's choice is successful, the rebellion template has been loaded. Please prepare yourself to meet the upcoming challenge. ]

Li Qingge closed her eyes and felt the power surging in her body. She knew that from this moment on, her fate would change completely. She was no longer the weak village girl, but a princess who was about to stir up a storm. She would use her wisdom and courage to bring an unprecedented change to this era.

In this transformation, she not only fights for her own freedom, but also creates a better future for those who are teased by fate like her. She believes that as long as there is light in one's heart, hope will never go out.

So, in that dim and dilapidated woodshed, Li Qingge began her road to rebellion. With the help of the system, she gradually uncovered the secrets of her life experience and also exposed the darkness and injustice behind this era. She united with those girls who also longed for freedom to resist oppression and fight for their own rights and dignity.

In this long struggle, she experienced countless difficulties and challenges, but she never gave up. She proved with her actions that even the most humble life has the power to change the world. In the end, she successfully overthrew the feudal shackles, established a new society of equality between men and women, and became a great heroine who left her name in history.

And those girls who once struggled with her will also find their own happiness and destination.
