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?

"Brother——" the lady from the Wen Family called out again, clinging tightly to her own brother's sleeve.


At this moment, the other ladies from prominent families also glared at Zheng Nianru, their enmity deepening further because of the dazzling appearance of the girl standing before them.


Two of the ladies from prominent families suddenly realized who the girl standing before them was and guiltily glanced around. Just now, it seemed that they had been discussing Princess Chao Ren, which had caused the plate to be thrown.


"Why are you still standing there, seize her——" the lady from the Wen Family urged anxiously. She wasn't afraid; her brother was now with the Imperial Forest Guard, and who didn't give face to the Wen Family.
