Li Yuanzhao... was originally born into a local noble family in the south of the Yangtze River. From the moment he landed, he was destined to have a life of food and clothing and a worry-free life...
But Li Yuanzhao's childhood was not happy...
Because his rights... are limited to food and clothing... his status is not much higher than that of a servant at home.
They often have to endure arbitrary beatings and insults from others, but they cannot resist and can only bear it silently.
As for areas such as books, private schools, and teachers, which are equivalent to "luxury goods" for ordinary nobles, what he got was almost zero...
And all this is just because...
He is a concubine......www.81zw.????m
…………
"Did you know? The seventh lady from the Purple Gold Sect who married in, she is actually 'Wu Hai'!!"
"No sea? What is no sea??"
"Tsk, doesn't Wu Hai know that? It means a person who is born without Qi Hai! Not only will she have no chance of practicing martial arts in this life! Even the children she gives birth to will be Wu Hai!"
"Ah? Then isn't she just like a useless person in Zijinmen? No wonder she married into our family as a concubine..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down..."

………………
Overhearing the chatter of several servants, Li Yuanzhao's martial arts dream was shattered... That year, he was only seven years old...
But he did not sink or bow to fate, but resolutely embarked on another path...
Fame...and career path...
Unable to go to the private school, he would lie down in the alley where his legitimate sons were attending class and eavesdrop.
Unable to afford books, he acted as a bookboy for his legitimate children, studying ink while standing beside them and peeking.
Without pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he took the initiative to complete the homework assigned by his husband for these legitimate sons...
Day after day, year after year.
Although God did not give him the talent to practice martial arts, it gave him a persevering will and an extremely smart mind.
I want to become stronger!! Become stronger than anyone else!! I want everyone to never dare to bully me and my mother again!!
This oath buried deep in his heart is the only motivation to urge him to grow up quickly and study hard!
From the triennial provincial examination, where he passed the exam to get the first prize, to the triennial triennial exam, where he passed the exam, and finally, in the palace exam, he was selected as the number one scholar by Emperor Jiawei!
In this way, Li Yuanzhao relied on his talent, diligence, intelligence and hard work, and became the fifteenth genius to win three yuan in a row since the beginning of the imperial examination!
Named on the gold list! Returning home in glory!
Red silk horse! Guard of honor clears the way!
The reputable elders in the family came out to greet him in person. A prodigy from the Li family who won three yuan in a row became a household name. Even the servants in the family became extremely humble towards the four of them, mother and son, as if everything was going as Li Yuanzhao envisioned.
developing...
But...it's just as if...
Once he succeeds, he is surrounded by guests and friends, but he has not been in office for three years and only talks coldly...
Li Yuanzhao, who won three consecutive prizes, only got a position as a Hanlin editor...an official position, starting from the sixth rank...
This is not because the court does not pay enough attention to him, but on the contrary, Li Yuanzhao can sit in an official position within two years, which is much luckier than most students...
Because in ancient times, even if you were ranked first in high school, if you wanted to be an official... you still had to queue up...
After all, there are only a few hundred official positions in the imperial court, and more than 300 Jinshi are admitted each time...
Just endure it... When will you wait until your official position is taken up, retire and go home, or your life span is over, you will be able to take up his position...
As for before that, you can only compete with him to see who has a longer life...
Just in case you want to go back, and you meet an "old birthday boy" with an extremely strong body and big earlobes that hang over his shoulders, he will be your successor!
Then you cry, at least ten years to start...
Although Li Yuanzhao was extremely excited when he received the imperial commission, those tribesmen who learned that he had only been a sixth-grade official were a little cold towards him. After all, in their eyes, he was like a Hanlin cultivator.
If no one pays for a position with no future and no pay, it will be like this for the rest of my life.
As for Li Yuanzhao, obviously he couldn't pay for it himself, so who would pay for it?
"Whoever wants to pay can pay, but I won't pay anyway."
Soon, most of the clan members reached this consensus, and naturally there were also a large number of his legitimate sons who were jealous of his achievements.
So, Li Yuanzhao went to Beijing to work in poverty...
And his main responsibility is to record the emperor's daily necessities...
Although this job is very boring, and his colleagues here are basically sour and rotten scholars in their seventies and eighties, Li Yuanzhao is still very diligent and takes the initiative to get closer to these seniors. From time to time, he makes a cup of tea for this person and
The man who beat his shoulders quickly established himself in the Imperial Academy and was deeply loved by several seniors.
Naturally, these seniors began to reciprocate the favor and gave this outstanding young man some opportunities to make a difference. One senior even wanted to betroth his granddaughter to him...
It was at this time that Li Yuanzhao met the love of his life, Wan Ningshuang...
But the beginning of the story is not as romantic as imagined.
Li Yuanzhao reluctantly agreed because he couldn't resist Wan Lao's insistence on trying to match him up.
So with three letters and six betrothals, ten miles of red makeup, he just brought the bride home in a daze...
During this period, he didn't even know what his wife looked like.
It wasn't until the moment he lifted the bride's hijab that Li Yuanzhao's eyes widened, and he was convinced that Wan Lao was not exaggerating... His granddaughter really has an appearance that will make a country beautiful...
Her beauty even made Li Yuanzhao, a young and promising scholar with a decent appearance, feel a little ashamed of himself and felt that he was not worthy of her...
But Wan Ningshuang obviously doesn’t think so.
This was evident from the moment she entered the door...
At that time, Li Yuanzhao was only nineteen years old. He was a sixth-grade official. He only had a house with a single door, three tile-roofed houses, a surrounding wall, blue bricks and green tiles. The walls were desolate, and there were only a few decent furniture in the house.
The furnishings were brought in by the woman when she was dowry. As for the servants and maids, he couldn't even think about it. With his meager salary, he might not even be able to support a few more children...
But even so, Wan Ningshuang never complained at all. During the day, she went out to buy groceries and cook, and at night she helped him sew his official clothes at home. She worked hard and enjoyed it without complaining. Even her delicate and white hands gradually became rough...
"Why... why did you marry me... My incompetence... made you suffer the consequences of being older..."
"The slave family is happy... The day I saw the husband wearing red flowers on his chest and riding a tall horse, the slave family has made up his mind that he will not marry unless he is a husband in this life. The husband... is definitely not an incompetent person. The husband is in the slave family's heart.
, he will always be the number one scholar in the world..."
That night... Li Yuanzhao cried like a child...
Those years... were also the happiest time in Li Yuanzhao's life...
