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?

Yin He slept atop Prince Duan's suburban estate, where the only two rooms were now tidied up neatly, with Song Gao and Song Yuan still busily loading the carriage under the cover of night.


Suddenly, an exotic way of dining had become fashionable in the city—roasting whole sheep, a method hailing from the Northwest Border. Unable to indulge in such roasted lamb, the Shiping Aristocratic Clan hired cooks from Riverfood Restaurant to prepare it at their residence. The clever cooks from Riverfood Restaurant, having done the job, added flavors popular in the Zheng Capital. Once Riverfood Restaurant's roasted lamb hit the market, it immediately swept through Zheng Capital. However, the major Aristocratic Families still preferred to invite cooks from Riverfood Restaurant to their homes.
