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

Zheng Nianru had already stood up from the chair. In her previous life, why hadn't she thought of playing this way?


"Cousin, these two wild beasts were just captured two days ago. Their wild nature is still intact, and they've been starved for two days. This should be quite a spectacle," Zheng Haoyuan took the opportunity to explain, and then noticing the silk handkerchief that had fallen to the ground, he intended to call Xing Yu to pick it up, but Xing Yu, busy as he was, couldn't pick it up, so Zheng Haoyuan had to bend down and pick it up himself.


As soon as he picked up the silk handkerchief, it emitted a faint fragrance, nicer than any other he had smelled, and he was momentarily reluctant to give it back. Looking again at Zheng Nianru, her bright eyes were fixed on the hunting ground in front of her, her expression serious and thoughtful. Sunlight spilled down, coating the fluff on her face with a layer of gold.
