Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Ye Zhiqiu was still playing with his phone one second, and the next second he opened his eyes and saw antique furniture all around him. He lowered his head to look at his clothes, a plain Taoist robe, and then looked at the decorations in the house, mahogany furniture, exquisite screens, expensive spices, and all the details showed that the original owner was born rich.

It's good to be rich. It's unfortunate that the system sent her to ancient times. If she was born in a poor family, she might become a two-legged sheep at any minute. At least she won't starve or be sold if she has money. As for other inconveniences in life, she has to endure them for now.

The system felt very guilty when it was called out, and advised Ye Zhiqiu to think positively: "How many time-traveling women dream of becoming a queen mother? You are a queen mother when you first arrive. You were born in Rome. Your starting point is where others end. Isn't that very happy?"

"hehe!"

Ye Zhiqiu gave the system a cold smile and let it figure it out for itself. She didn't want this kind of good thing, so who would give it to? So what if it was the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother had no real power, and whose Queen Mother didn't even have a piece of valuable jewelry on her body? They were treating her like a fool.

No matter how bad her history was, I had never heard of such an empress dowager in history. Even queens were banished to the cold palace, but they were not so poor that they didn't even have jewelry. Her situation was not good.

The system is useless and can't help at all. It can only convey the original owner's requirements.

"What are your requests?" Ye Zhiqiu secretly decided that if the original owner's task was too difficult, she would just give up. Whoever was willing to complete this crappy task could do it. Even the Olympic champion was in a hurry to get off work, so she didn't want to take this crappy task.

At worst, she would just lose points and change her assignment, just like changing jobs. If she took a chance, she might be able to turn her bicycle into a motorcycle. If she didn't, she would only endure a lot of diseases. There was no Western medicine in her time, and she didn't want to have nodules and breast hyperplasia all over her body.

"Don't worry, the original owner didn't have too many requests. Her request was very simple, just to make sure the emperor didn't have an easy life. Her mother's family could be saved if possible, but if not, it depends on the family's luck." The original owner had died once, and she didn't even care about her own life, so how could she care about her mother's family.

Ye Zhiqiu really liked the original owner's attitude. It was rare to meet such a transparent person, but unfortunately she was unlucky. It was not for her, a queen mother, how could she fall to this point, but it didn't matter. She would find a way to change her fate, starting with gaining freedom.

"Someone, I'm hungry."

The old maid outside the door replied in a disrespectful tone: "Empress Dowager, it's not time for dinner yet. Please wait a moment. There are snacks in the room. If you are too hungry, you can eat some snacks to fill your stomach first."

Ye Zhiqiu then noticed the pastries on the table. They were similar to lotus cakes. They looked good, but when she tasted them, she found that they were all oily. She didn't know how long they had been there. In addition to the fruits, there was a plate of pears on the table. She picked one up and took a bite. It was very sour. It was the worst pear she had ever eaten in her life.

She made her request again, this time she didn't want food, but wanted people, jewelry and clothes.

This time, the old maid outside the door did not refuse. She tried to persuade her implicitly, "Empress Dowager, I, as a servant, have something to advise you. As long as you stand up and support His Majesty, you can immediately restore your status as Empress Dowager. Why do you have to punish yourself?"

Ye Zhiqiu didn't say anything. He had just arrived and didn't know the situation clearly. He didn't know what was going on outside. The more he said, the more mistakes he made. He would wait and see. Fortunately, she was the queen mother. Even if she was at odds with the emperor, he would not use the three-meter white silk to send her to the battlefield. As for the poison that would kill her if she drank it, she probably didn't have it. For the time being, her life was not in danger.

"My queen, you have suffered." Shannai could only feel his own incompetence. He could not suffer for his master, nor could he save his master.

"Okay, don't cry."

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the loyal servants left behind by the original body. Only one of the four maids came. Where were the other three? When mentioning the other three sisters, Shannai was very angry, but the expression on her face did not change at all, and she still complained in a calm tone.

Muxiang had been guarding Renshou Palace, Banxia went out of the palace to find the head of the family, and the last one, Baizhi, was caught by the Holy Mother Empress Dowager because of her impulsive behavior and was beaten with a stick, saying that she was guilty of the crime. Fortunately, the girl was good at fighting, and the eunuchs who were executing the execution did not dare to offend Renshou Palace to death, so they let her go and saved her life.

Ye Zhiqiu felt pain when she heard this. She grabbed the system and said, "Look, what's so good about the ancient times that they fooled me here. You should let those who dream of traveling through time and space to the palace try it. Do they really think that the emperor is an NPC and that they can become a concubine or empress dowager by just cooking a few dishes and reciting a few poems and saying some concepts that didn't exist in the ancient times? They don't even dream of doing this."

So what if she is the Queen Mother? Even mother and son can become enemies for the throne. She will remember the grudge against anyone who dares to hit her. Let's get out first. Whoever wants to live in this broken place can live there. It's worse than the cold palace. Fortunately, it's autumn now. If it's winter, you will be frozen to death or get sick.

She wanted to go out, but the people outside didn't dare to stop her. It was useless to stop her. Ye Zhiqiu's skills were not to be trifled with. The talent of this body was also amazing. It was effortless for him to deal with several palace maids and eunuchs in the harem.

No one doubted that the empress dowager, who was of noble status, was good at martial arts. She came from a family of military generals, so it was not strange for her to be good at martial arts. A hundred years ago, the Ye family had produced a female general. It was a pity that this female general eventually entered the emperor's harem.

At this time, Ye Zhiqiu had already figured out that the dynasty she was in was not any dynasty in history, but a palace dynasty. To be more precise, it was like she had traveled into a book.

In the book, the emperor is a young emperor who succeeded to the throne at the age of six. The previous emperor left behind two ministers of state and a powerful uncle, as well as two empress dowagers. Together, the five forces of the previous dynasty and the harem held the political power of Qing Kingdom before the emperor took power.

According to convention, the emperor should rule the country after his marriage, but the candidate for empress has not yet been announced. All parties hope that their candidate can become empress and give birth to a legitimate son, and no one has considered who the emperor likes.

After all the arguing, no one expected that the Emperor would fall in love with the niece of Concubine Liu, and insisted on making Miss Liu the Queen. Anyone else who had to enter the palace could only be concubines.

The candidates put forward by several families are all legitimate daughters who have been carefully trained for many years in their families. Who would be willing to be inferior to others and become a concubine? Even the imperial concubine is a concubine, and the child she gives birth to is not a legitimate son, so she is naturally one step behind.

That would be fine, the Liu family was just a ruined family. Before Concubine Liu entered the palace, the highest official in the family was only the seventh rank. Concubine Liu's father was promoted to the fifth rank only after she entered the palace and was favored. Because of his lack of ability, he died at the fifth rank.

After the death of Concubine Liu's father, there was no more talent in the family. Not only the side branches, but also the brothers, none of them even passed the imperial examination. The best one passed the imperial examination and became a juren. Juren could also be appointed as an official. With the care of Concubine Liu, he became a minor official in a county not far from the capital.
