Chapter 145: Be the Queen Mother or the Princess?

The officials in Daqing were strong but the ruler was weak. Prime Minister Zhang Taozhi was ambitious and ready to rebel at any time.

The original owner was the prime minister's legitimate daughter. She married the fourteen-year-old emperor at the age of seventeen and became the queen mother. As the daughter of a powerful official, she seemed to be full of glory on the surface, but in fact she was not pleasing to both sides.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor were worried that they would be killed by the Prime Minister one day, and that they would assist the young child to ascend to the throne and use the Emperor to control the princes, so they gave the original owner a sterilizing drug.

The prime minister's father felt that a daughter who was married off was like spilled water, and was worried that the original owner would turn against him, so he did not trust her.

But he also tried to sow discord between the original owner and the emperor, and used the original owner to drug the emperor.

In this era, after getting married, one's husband is the main focus. The original owner also had expectations for the emperor, hoping that the couple could work together. But after learning that the emperor had given her a sterilizing drug, she became disappointed in the emperor and formally participated in the rebellion.

In the end, the original owner succeeded and poisoned the emperor to death.

There was no heir, and the royal family had no suitable heir either. Zhang Tao was able to cover up everything and steal the country.

After Zhang Taozhi ascended the throne, the original owner was changed from queen to princess. She was driven out of Kunning Palace and locked up in the cold palace for two years.

Until the enemy invaded, Zhang Taozhi sent the original owner to the enemy country for marriage, but the original owner died on the way, and the war was provoked again.

As a result, the original owner was forced to bear the blame for bringing disaster to the country and the people.

"Empress, the Emperor has drunk too much. Please bear with me."

A nanny in her forties or fifties brought the emperor back, her face full of apologies. Zhang Shan saw that the emperor was not pretending, so she waved her hand and let her go.

"Miss, isn't the emperor bullying us? You must tell the master about this."

Taohong's face was filled with unhappiness. The master's power was encroaching upon the government and the country. Taohong felt that her young lady didn't need to be afraid of the emperor at all, let alone put herself in a difficult position.

Zhang Shan waved her hands. Her current identity was really awkward. She served as a bridge between the two sides, but neither side trusted her.

"Your Majesty is tired. Go find some eunuchs to help you wash up. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else."

Just as Taohong was about to leave, the emperor's personal eunuch Xiao Fuzi came in and said, "Your Highness, I will take care of this matter. I will not trouble you two sisters."

Taohongliulv subconsciously looked at Zhang Shan. After Zhang Shan nodded, the two handed the emperor over to Xiaofuzi.

After Xiao Fuzi took the emperor downstairs to wash up, Zhang Shan took out a bottle from her sleeve and said, "The emperor drank too much. I'm afraid he won't wake up tonight. Let him sleep peacefully."

The wings haven't even grown yet and she's already been intimidated by others. This little emperor is really impatient.

Taohong took the bottle and walked out.

Zhang Shan sat in front of the dressing table, asked Liu Lu to take off the phoenix crown on her head, and moved her neck.

"The emperor won't be back for a while, so I'll leave this place to you. If the emperor comes back from work, tell him that I'm bathing."

Liu Lu didn't ask Zhang Shan what she was going to do, she was used to being obedient.

Zhang Shan disappeared into the darkness.

Zhang Taozhi was a powerful minister and the most powerful official in the Daqing Dynasty, but there were some areas where he still had no control.

For example, the General Zhenyuan Mansion.

General Zhenyuan was in charge of an army of 200,000 and was guarding the border. No matter how long Zhang Taozhi's hand stretched, it could not reach the border.

However, the Zhenyuan General's Mansion had dwindled in number, and in this generation only the old general who was leading troops outside was left, and the young master Shen Zhiheng who was idle in the capital.

Zhang Shan’s target is Shen Zhiheng.

Zhang Shan chose Shen Zhiheng not because the general's family was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but because the old general had long harbored rebellious intentions. The late emperor had killed so many of his sons and grandsons, and had also crippled his youngest grandson.

The old general, who had dedicated his life to protecting the Daqing Dynasty, could not help but feel resentful.

Since the little emperor didn't want children, she didn't force him.

After all, he is not the only man in the world who can have children.

Shen Zhiheng was in the brothel, listening to music and drinking wine, looking very contented.

Suddenly, the lights in the private room went out. Shen Zhiheng only felt a cold wind blowing. Before he could even scream, he was abducted.

Half an incense stick of time later, Shen Zhiheng was brought into a small courtyard and thrown to the ground.

Under the moonlight, a female ghost in red tilted her head and looked at him, "Ghost... Fairy Sister, let's talk nicely. I have never hurt anyone, nor bullied girls. Sister, please understand~"

Zhang Shan reached out again and threw the man into the water.

There is a hot spring here. Shen Zhiheng soaked in the water without daring to make a sound.

"Wash clean!"

Under the gaze of the "female ghost", Shen Zhiheng undressed and sank into the water. The water was hazy but he was so scared that he dared not make a sound.

Should it be served after being washed?

He doesn't want to die, so if he washes slowly, he will die slowly.

Shen Zhiheng was moving very slowly. Zhang Shan looked at the time and was worried that the little emperor had returned to his bedroom, so she didn't want to waste any more time with Shen Zhiheng.

Shen Zhiheng was in the water with only his head exposed. When he saw the female ghost taking off her clothes on the shore, he was so frightened that he dared not move.

Could it be that the female ghost wanted to take a bath with him?

As soon as Zhang Shan entered the water, she saw Shen Zhiheng trying to climb ashore, so she reached out and pulled him back.

"You you you...what are you going to do?"

“Take the Yang and replenish the Yin!”

Shen Zhiheng: “!!!”

The air was filled with steam and the white waves were rolling...

After completing the sexual intercourse, Zhang Shan put on her clothes and left the courtyard. When she returned to Kunning Palace, the little emperor was already lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

"Miss..." Taohong came forward and helped Zhang Shan untie her cloak.

"Light this incense."

Taohong didn't ask any further questions and lit the incense obediently.

Taohong and Liulv were the maids that Zhang Taozhi prepared for her as a dowry, but after Zhang Shan came, they became her loyal servants.

"From now on, you can all call me Your Highness. I can still tell the difference between the Queen and the Princess."

After the psychedelic incense was lit, Zhang Shan and her two servants saw the little emperor twisting his hair on the bed. Half an hour later, Zhang Shan asked Tao Hong to water the plants.

When Xiao Fuzi heard the sound of the call for water in the bedroom, she felt something bad was going to happen.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why can't you help it?

How am I going to explain this to the Empress Dowager tomorrow?

Although she had some thoughts about it, Xiao Fuzi still accepted her fate and asked the eunuchs to carry water.

Zhang Shan took another bath. When she came out, the wedding bed had been replaced with a new set of bedding. The little emperor had also changed his underwear and was sleeping soundly on the bed.

the next morning.

When Zhang Shan woke up, she saw the little emperor with a dark face and his hands stretched out as if trying to strangle her to death.

"Your Majesty is up so early? Are you going to court?"

The Emperor had half a month's wedding leave for the Emperor's wedding, and he had nothing to do in court, so everything was handled by the original owner's father, the Prime Minister.

The little emperor withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, "Now that the queen has woken up, it's time to go and pay respects to the queen mother."

"Yes, I will get up right away."

Taohong and Liulu came to help Zhang Shan wash up. On the second day of her wedding, she still wore the wedding clothes and went to the Cining Palace together.

Because the emperor and empress arrived together, the empress dowager was waiting in the hall early. When Zhang Shan went in, she saw a woman in her thirties sitting at the top, with a young girl of about fourteen or fifteen sitting next to her.

"My son has met his mother."

The little emperor bowed respectfully and the empress dowager hurriedly asked him to stand up.

On the contrary, Zhang Shan did not move at all.

"Queen, why don't you bow to your mother? What's your etiquette?"

The little emperor looked displeased and glared.

"Your Majesty, I want to pay my respects to my mother, but I don't know who the girl at the top is. When Your Majesty paid his respects, she accepted it without any deviation."

The little emperor looked up and saw his cousin sitting next to the empress dowager. She didn't even stand up or move away.

So……

He is an emperor, and he just bowed to a subject?

The little emperor's face darkened. Wang Ruoxue panicked and stood up quickly. "No, cousin, don't listen to her nonsense. I..."

The Queen Mother also chimed in, "My son, don't listen to Zhang's instigation. She wants us to become enemies. Don't let the relatives be sad and the enemies be happy!"

The little emperor then forced a smile, "I know, but mother, please don't indulge my cousin too much."

Obviously, the little emperor was still upset about what had just happened.

After seeing Wang Ruoxue walk away, Zhang Shan bowed to the empress dowager and stood up on her own without waiting for the empress dowager to call her.

"You still need to learn more about the rules of being a queen. If you don't serve me tea, you are not my daughter-in-law."

I originally wanted to embarrass Zhang Shan, but I didn't expect Zhang Shan to ignore it. She just stood up and didn't even offer her tea.

"You are joking, mother. This cup of daughter-in-law tea is a popular saying. I am a descendant of the emperor. My identity has long been recorded in the royal jade book. Even if mother does not recognize me, I am still the queen of the Daqing Dynasty. Everyone in the world will recognize me!"

This tea is not something she can drink if she wants.

The little emperor's face turned even darker.

Wang Ruoxue looked sympathetic and advised, "Sister-in-law, you are unfilial and lack moral integrity. You can't sit firmly on the position of queen. You should apologize to your aunt as soon as possible."

It's enough to just sit firmly on the position of empress dowager, what's the point of sitting firmly on the position of queen?

But Zhang Shan didn't want Wang Ruoxue to be proud. "Miss Wang just received such a great gift from the emperor. I'm sure you must be very happy. Look, your smile is so big that it's almost reaching your ears."

Before he could put away his gloating smile, the little emperor saw it clearly. How could he still care about the empress dowager's face at this time?

"Cousin, I didn't. You have to trust your cousin. Don't listen to Zhang Shan. She is trying to sow discord between us."

The Queen Mother's face had already turned dark.

"That's enough, my prince. Ruoxue didn't mean that. She just didn't react for a moment."

The Queen Mother tried to find a way out for Wang Ruoxue and pulled her out. "The Emperor's harem only has the Queen. How disgraceful is this? Today, the Queen Mother will make the decision to marry Ruoxue to my son. What do you think of giving her the title of Imperial Concubine?"

This had already been agreed upon, but the little emperor still couldn't swallow it and still felt a little uncomfortable.

"I just got married not long ago, so it is not appropriate to confer a high title on me. I will just confer the title of Concubine."

The Queen Mother wanted to say something, but Wang Ruoxue shook her head, and the matter was settled.

The palace maid brought the tea, and Wang Ruoxue handed it to Zhang Shan with a humiliated look, "Queen sister, please have some tea!"

Zhang Shan didn't answer. "I've already said that the royal family is not like ordinary people. They don't need to offer tea to acknowledge their status. Concubine Wang should get up quickly."

Wang Ruoxue hadn’t finished her task yet and she naturally wouldn’t get up.

"Your Majesty, do you hate me and refuse to drink my concubine's tea?"

"Queen, please don't make things difficult for my cousin."

"Queen, please take the tea."

Zhang Shan looked at these three people and it seemed that they would not be allowed to leave unless they drank the tea.

"In this case, I can only follow the custom and serve tea to the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Putting aside the question of whether or not to offer tea to the emperor, the three of them didn't think much about it. The empress dowager and the little emperor's minds were on the cup of tea in Wang Ruoxue's hand. They took the tea handed to them by Zhang Shan without any precautions and took a sip.

Zhang Shan was satisfied with this, so she took the tea bowl from Wang Ruoxue and took a sip.

All four were satisfied.

When I returned to Kunning Palace, I saw Aunt Zhang, "Madam, this is the letter from the master."

Zhang Shan saw that the content was nothing more than a few words of concern, and then it was just for her to cultivate feelings with the little emperor and gain his trust.
