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?

Song Gao and Song Yuan had brought Prince Duan to a secluded part of the Prince's Mansion. Prince Duan was already impatient and glanced at the walls of his own home. How could anything magical happen just by coming here?


The following Housekeeper He and two attendants stood in the darkness, unable to resist looking around.


If he remembered correctly, Housekeeper He thought, here was a shared wall with the courtyard of the Zong Sheng Aristocratic Family next door. Because the terrain was flat and the continuous ancient trees created a communal feel, it was the most beautifully scenic area of the compound. In order not to spoil the overall sense of simplicity and agelessness, both families had agreed to share one wall.


Song Gao looked around; the lush trees obscured all light, which should suffice.
