Deer Sixteen

Zheng Nianru went from being a Commandery Princess who could be killed at any moment to the position of the Empress Dowager, wielding power over the world. What she couldn't accept was that she didn't end up with a good fate. However, Zheng Nianru thought that no one would have been able to save Nanzheng State.
Yet, she was reborn and, having deeply reflected upon her pain, also considered several past mistakes. Firstly, she should not have married down into the family of Ju Nanyi, a man with a narrow mind who came from a minor house, who only thought about romantic affairs and entangled with her in desperate affection, incapable of assisting Nanzheng. Secondly, she should not have killed everyone in Qiandao Temple, which was the spiritual pillar of the people of Nanzheng State. After all, there were better ways, weren't there, like seduction? Thirdly, she should not have been so confident that the monarch of the neighboring country would fall at her feet, nor should she have trusted the promise of that fickle neighboring monarch, which led to years of drawn-out conflict between the two states.
Um, Zheng Nianru felt she was not wrong. She just wanted to live well and to be a good Empress Dowager. Since she had the chance to live again, why did she have this chance? Could it be that she was expected to once again turn Nanzheng State upside down?

Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved

"Heir Zong, given the special circumstances today, I shall visit to express my gratitude another day." Prince Duan bowed, indisputably ushering Zheng Nianru into the carriage first before turning to Zong Yunqian to speak.


Zong Yunqian hurriedly clasped his fists in response; he certainly did not deserve such a gesture from Prince Duan.


"Prince Duan overstates the matter. We haven't been of any real assistance," Zong Yunqian said solemnly.


"Yes, yes, we merely happened upon the Commandery Princess in a patch of reeds and the Princely Heir tasked us with delivering a message..." Gu Dao hastily interjected, some things only he could express.


Prince Duan was startled, the surprise was entirely unexpected, so that meant—?


"Oh, I see, even so, I thank the Princely Heir for the small effort." Prince Duan immediately had even less desire to linger, "Qi Zhu, let's go."


The carriage quickly turned around to leave, leaving Zong Yunqian and his servant standing there.
