After being struck by lightning and being in the world of women

After Zhong Ruhuang’s birthday banquet and the fifth princess Fuyun’s one-year-old celebration banquet, it was getting closer to the end of the year.

Zhong Ruhuang became increasingly busy.

Except for breakfast, when she can take time out to have lunch with Zhong Yaoye, she eats lunch by herself.

As for dinner, it is usually eaten in the palace where the guest is staying.

To be honest, she had not received any imperial education, and the little experience she had was gained while she was guarding Chaotian Pass.

To manage the entire Qinglan Dynasty, she needs to learn more.

So every day, in addition to attending court to review memorials and handle important affairs, she also had to read information that only previous empresses could see.

There are some information that only the Queen can see.

Through these materials, she can better understand the Qinglan Dynasty and learn more secrets.

For example: How many rebellious empresses were there in the Qinglan Dynasty?

For example: How many innate masters are there in the Qinglan Dynasty?

For example: How many innate masters are there in the Pingning Dynasty and the Shengyun Dynasty?

For example: The history before the three dynasties?

A lot of information is only known by the Queen.

There were books piled up in an entire secret room, which was enough for Zhong Ruhuang to read even if she had a photographic memory.

Not only look, but also understand clearly.

Because Emperor Showa did not reveal Zhong Chengfeng's whereabouts before his death, Zhong Ruhuang still doesn't know where Zhong Chengfeng has gone.

It has been several months, almost half a year, and Zhong Chengfeng has not shown up.

Ever since Zhong Ruhuang became the empress of the Qinglan Dynasty, she had too many things to deal with, and basically all the secret guards left for her by Emperor Showa were sent out.

Anyway, her strength is that of a congenital master, so it is somewhat of a waste for these people to protect her.

It would be better to send her away than to keep her with her.

The struggle for the throne of the Qinglan Dynasty has now officially come to an end, and the situation has stabilized.

However, the struggle for the throne between the Pingning Dynasty and the Shengyun Dynasty did not produce any result.

Zhong Ruhuang did not intend to sit and wait for death. After taking control of the secret guards, he began to make plans.

She planned to send someone to stir up the muddy waters between the Pingning Dynasty and the Shengyun Dynasty to make it even more murky.

At the same time, pay attention to the whereabouts of Zhong Chengfeng.

Everything that needs to be laid out has been almost completed, and it’s the end of the year in the blink of an eye.

It's time to hold a grand banquet for all the ministers again.

To be honest, since she became queen, she has held more banquets than before.

She couldn't hold so many banquets in the past, and she also had to save money.

But after becoming the empress, she still had to hold banquets and win the hearts of the people.

On the last day of the twelfth lunar month, a banquet was held in the palace.

Royal relatives, civil and military officials, and aristocratic families all came to the banquet with their families.

Zhong Ruhuang, wearing a bright yellow dress with a phoenix pattern, held Zhong Yaoyi's hand and entered the main hall of Suzaku Palace.

"Long live my emperor."

"Your Majesty is a thousand years old."

"Everyone, I love you."

Zhong Ruhuang and Zhong Yaoye sat down.

"Today is the end-of-year banquet. You have all worked hard. There is no need to be formal. Eat and drink."

Zhong Ruhuang spoke gently and politely, with a gentle and elegant look.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everyone bowed in response, but as to whether they listened or not, only they themselves knew.

There are many songs and dances prepared in the palace today, including operas, and the program is very rich.

Prince Zhao and Zhong Sihuang and the others all came, each with their principal and concubine husbands, and sat on Zhong Ruhuang's left side. They were all very honest.

In the past few months, no matter who caused trouble, they were dealt with by Zhong Ruhuang openly or secretly, and even the Prince of Qing, Zhong Jinhuang, became obedient.

Prince An Zhong Qihuang also became obedient.

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."

Prince Zhao Zhong Sihuang was the first to speak. He stood up and raised his glass to toast Zhong Ruhuang.

Zhong Ruhuang looked at her eldest sister who had been silent for a long time, looked at the half-mask with a phoenix pattern on her face, and sighed in her heart.

She already knew the inside story of the second princess' rebellion.

Who could have thought that the Fourth Princess would dare to deceive the Eldest Princess and ruin her chance to compete for the throne? She was quite vicious.

"Big sister, I respect you."

Now that she has become the empress, she will treat her elder sister with courtesy, but she will not be a saint.

Things are different now.

She is already the queen, there is no way she would say anything hypocritical or stupid like giving up the throne.

If she really did that, all her family members would be killed.

Prince Zhao Zhong Sihuang drank the wine in the glass quickly and sat down.

Since the eldest imperial sister Zhong Sihuang had spoken, Prince of Qing Zhong Jinhuang quickly followed suit.

Although she was very dissatisfied and resentful, she was very filial to her father, Mr. Zhang.

She was also looking forward to the day when she could bring Mr. Zhang Taixian to her Qing Palace to take care of him.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Okay, Third Sister, drink."

Zhong Jinhuang was respectful, so Zhong Ruhuang was naturally gentle and polite as well.

As long as there is no secret trick, Zhong Ruhuang will not be petty and hold a grudge against the past.

Prince An Zhong Qihuang also followed suit and toasted.

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."

"Okay, Sixth Princess, drink."

Zhong Ruhuang drank it out of respect.

Prince Hao Zhong Feihuang is probably the imperial sister who has the best relationship with Zhong Ruhuang.

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."

"Okay, Seventh Princess, drink."

Zhong Ruhuang drank it with a smile.

Zhong Zhenhuang is the eighth child and is the treasure king.

She originally wanted to make some small moves, but unfortunately, her father Yan Shijun's adopted relatives, the Yan family of the Imperial Household Department, had already been dealt with by Zhong Ruhuang on charges of embezzling tribute and misappropriating money.

The head of the Yan family was beheaded by Zhong Ruhuang a long time ago, and the adult female members of the family were also beheaded, and the male relatives were all sent to the Jiaofang Bureau. Now no one knows where they are working as prostitutes.

Once the Yan family fell, Zhong Zhenhuang was intimidated. She was so scared that she became obedient and didn't dare to do anything tricky.

One emperor and one courtier.

It is no longer the time when the Queen Mother is around.

The fifth princess is the empress now, and she doesn’t look like someone who is easy to mess with. They were just shortsighted in the past.

This guy is not an honest man at all; he is clearly a murderous tiger.

Zhong Zhenhuang stood up and raised his glass.

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."

She was somewhat cautious in what she said.

She was afraid that Zhong Ruhuang would settle accounts with her.

Zhong Ruhuang glanced at Zhong Zhenhuang and said, "Eighth Princess, drink."

It was such a good day, and Zhong Ruhuang didn't want to spoil the fun, so she also had a drink with Zhong Zhenhuang.

The Yan family offended Zhong Ruhuang purely because they were blind and touched Zhong Ruhuang's bottom line. They dared to secretly attack her children, so they must be tired of living. Then she could only send them to the underworld.

As for Zhong Zhenhuang, if she had not been involved, her position as the King of Treasures would have been that of a Prince of a County long ago.

Zhong Wenhuang is the youngest imperial sister of Zhong Ruhuang. She is only ten years old in age and it is not yet time for her to be crowned a queen, so she still lives in the palace, in the imperial daughter's residence, and goes to the study room to study every day.

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."

Zhong Wenhuang stood up with a wine glass in hand.

Although Zhong Wenhuang's grandmother, Grand Tutor Xiao Jin, was ambitious, Zhong Wenhuang became obedient due to Emperor Zhaohe's instructions.

Zhong Ruhuang wouldn't bother with a child.

"Drinking alcohol is harmful to children's health. Fan Yu, go and change tea for the Ninth Princess."

Fan Yu went over and replaced the wine in Zhong Wenhuang's hand with tea.

"You are still young, so just offer me a glass of tea instead of wine."

Zhong Ruhuang's tone was exceptionally gentle when facing Zhong Wenhuang.
