Concubine Shang Yunxiao

Chapter 1 Unknown

On the day of Yuanxi's birth, Yuan Yuesheng was demoted from prefect to county magistrate, feeling very frustrated.In a fit of rage, he blamed his misfortune in his official career on a crying child.

"She is an unknown person, and I don't want to see her again in my life." Yuan Yuesheng said heartlessly to his wife Qi Wanzhen who was holding her baby.

"Master, you should choose a name for the child anyway." Qi Wanzhen's face was full of tears.

"What nice name do you expect me to give an unknown person? A kitten or a puppy?" Yuan Yuesheng left angrily.

Qi Wanzhen hugged the baby and wept together.

In the end, she named her daughter "Ji".Jubilee means happiness and auspiciousness.Who said her daughter was an unknown person?She wants her daughter to live a happy and auspicious life.

Five years later, Yuan Yuesheng entrusted his relationship and found a job in the capital. He brought his concubine Sun Yuzhu, his two-year-old daughter Wanwei, and Qi Wanzhen and his eldest son Yuan Haoxiang to Beijing to take up the post.

He would never take Qi Wanzhen and Yuanxi away, and he would never let Yuanxi affect his official career.When the old lady was alive, Yuan Yuesheng came to visit them once a year.But every time he came, Yuanxi was not allowed to see him, lest he be infected with bad luck.

Once Yuan Xi was curious, and secretly hid outside the old lady's door, peeking through the gap of the thin back of Yuan Yuesheng in a blue-gray robe.He was saying to the old lady: "Mother, I will not bring this unlucky person back to Beijing. On the day she was born, I was demoted from a prefect to a county magistrate. Now I have finally come to Beijing to be an official. I will not let She will influence my career again."

That was her father, but he called her an unknown person in disgust and indifference.From then on, when Yuan Yuesheng came again, Yuan Xi would hide in the room until Yuan Yuesheng left.The gray-blue figure peeking through the crack of the door was deeply imprinted in her mind.Whenever he recalled it, Yuan Xi couldn't help but shudder coldly.

Although living on a tight budget, Yuanxi is content and happy.She never thought that she would have anything to do with Yuan Yuesheng, who was an official in the capital.

Until one day, when it was snowing heavily, Yuan Yuesheng suddenly arrived, changing the fate of Yuan Xi's life.

At that time, Yuanxi was less than 16 years old.

On that day, Yuan Xi stood under the eaves of the corridor, playing all kinds of boring games in the snow.She stretched out her pocket hand from the old red padded jacket and stretched it into the air, letting the soft snowflakes lie gently in her palm.Each piece was clean, clear and free from dust, but it melted into water in her palm just for a moment.Yuan Xi listened quietly to the sound of snow falling all around, the path leading to the mansion gate in the courtyard seemed extraordinarily quiet and far-reaching.
