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?

"Lord Ju," Zong Yunqian gave a slight nod, carrying rice cakes from Riverfood Restaurant of the season, followed by Gu Dao and Xi Feng who also carried bundles of items large and small.


Seeing this, Ju Nanyi and Luh Xingze stepped aside to make way.


Ju Nanyi's mind was calm as a mirror, but he couldn't stop the rumors from flooding into his mind over and over again.


"You don't know, this Heir Zong, he had just arrived in Zheng Capital when he stirred up a tremendous incident. He personally brought gifts to Prince Duan's Mansion to ask for a marriage alliance, but was driven out by Prince Duan."


"It is said that the Commandery Princess nurtured in the palace is more revered than the average Princess…"
