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

"I only saw the Eldest Madam had asked the ladies from the Wuxing Aristocratic Family and the Nanan Aristocratic Family over for tea." You probably want to go yourself, Xi Feng picked up the shoes thrown on the ground.


Yunqian slightly frowned, do the Wuxing Aristocratic Family and the Nanan Aristocratic Family just so happen to have daughters ready for marriage?


"Isn't it said that this visit to the capital is to decide on the Crown Princess Consort's candidate?" Even if there are, with the Crown Prince right there, why would these aristocratic families overlook Zheng Congyuan, a perfectly good choice, and pick him instead?


Gu Dao brought over the meal, and just as Yunqian had taken a few bites, Lin Xiang, the maid from the Eldest Madam Zong's side, had already arrived.


"Tell her I've gone to sleep." Yunqian immediately stuffed his chopsticks into Gu Dao's hand and dashed to hide in the inner room.


Xi Feng couldn't stop her, and Lin Xiang had already entered.
