Quick Wear: My love-brained childhood sweetheart always asks me for a kiss

It’s a pity that Empress Dowager Li and Song Xuanchu thought too simply.

Ever since Chi Tingwan handed the note to Song Shiyan, all the nails in the Regent's Palace have been pulled out. Song Xuanchu has no control over the movements of the palace. The entire Regent's Palace is like an iron barrel, and no news can be transmitted.

He tried several times to arrange for people to go in but failed.

Chi Tingwan didn't like going out when she was in the Prime Minister's Residence, and now that she has entered the Regent's Palace, she is even less willing to move.

After all, there are servants to help you make or buy whatever you want.

And Song Shiyan would often take time to meet her needs.

The Gu had to be put into the body before we could talk about other things. Empress Dowager Li knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. There was no guarantee that Song Shiyan would attack them mother and son at any time. She had to seize the initiative as soon as possible.

Three days later, Empress Dowager Li summoned all the ladies and noble ladies to the palace on the pretext of admiring flowers. The invitation to the Regent's Palace was personally delivered by the highest-ranking female official of Ci'an Palace. No one else had such treatment and face.

The female official not only brought an invitation to the banquet, but also brought a lot of rewards.

"These are all priceless treasures. The Queen Mother herself was reluctant to use them. She gave them all to the Princess." The female official had a smiling look on her face.

"Then the Queen Mother is really troublesome." Doukou accepted the things with a smile, "But in fact, there are a lot of these things in the palace. The Queen Mother should keep them for herself in the future. These will just gather dust in the warehouse. It's such a waste."

The female official's expression suddenly changed. "After all, it is the Queen Mother's wish. What do you think, Princess?"

"I have spoiled this girl by now, and she is outspoken. Aunt Zhang, please don't take it to heart. I have not been feeling well these days, so I am afraid I will not be able to enter the palace to express my gratitude. This time, I will have to trouble Aunt Zhang to help convey my gratitude."

"Your Highness, you are too polite." Aunt Zhang did not forget the real purpose of her visit. "The Queen Mother knows that Your Highness loves hibiscus. The hibiscus in the Imperial Garden is in full bloom recently..."

"I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would miss me so much. It's a pity that my body is not strong enough. I'm afraid I can't accept the Queen Mother's kindness."

"It will be hard for me to report to the Empress Dowager when I return..." Aunt Zhang couldn't help but tear up. She knew Chi Tingwan was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see servants in the palace being punished for no reason.

She just wanted Chi Tingwan to know. If Chi Tingwan didn't give her a definite answer this time, she would be punished when she returned.

I think Chi Tingwan doesn't want to watch her suffer this unexpected disaster.

Unfortunately, Chi Tingwan said, "Aunt, why do you say that? The Queen Mother is very kind and generous. How could she blame you for such a small matter? What's more, you have served the Queen Mother for many years and are valued by her the most."

"That's right." Doukou smiled again and said, "Besides, our princess just needs to rest because she's not feeling well. She didn't mean to not go. The Queen Mother has always been kind and generous, so how could she blame the princess or even vent her anger on others? Aunt, don't you agree?"

Aunt Zhang forced a smile and said, "Yes... that's the truth."

Aunt Zhang returned to the palace and repeated word for word what Chi Tingwan and his servant had said. After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li was so angry that she smashed everything in the palace to pieces!

She knew that Chi Tingwan had now completely united with Song Shiyan. She also knew that she hated him for casting a spell on her.

She was afraid that Chi Tingwan would not give her face, so she deliberately sent the highest-ranking female official around her out. She also gave many valuable rewards. But she didn't expect that even after she did this, Chi Tingwan still didn't give her any face.

Not feeling well? That's clearly just an excuse for not wanting to attend the banquet.

I think the poisoning really aroused her hatred and defensiveness.

How can you succeed if you can't see the person?

Empress Dowager Li knew that she would have to go to the Regent's Palace in person.

Recently, Song Shiyan's attitude towards Chi Tingwan has become more and more attentive. The relationship between the two has indeed become much closer than before. Every day they eat together, practice calligraphy and painting together, and drink and play chess together.

All that’s left is the consummation of the marriage.

Everyone in the palace was happy about the transformation of the two, especially Qin Che.

Song Shiyan used to be very cold to women, and his mind was focused on national affairs. Even after marrying Chi Tingwan, he still didn't open up. He even wanted to give the princess he married to his own nephew.

Qin Che saw it all and was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

This is finally a sign of progress.

Their Regent's Palace really needs a mistress.

Chi Mingyu had already arrived in Hezhou. The affairs of the Xiangfu still needed Aunt Mei to take care of, so he didn't bring her with him this time. But it was impossible for him to stay plain for several months.

So he brought several beautiful and capable concubines with him.

Hezhou is famous for its beauties. He also thought that he could meet a beautiful woman and create a good story by coming here.

Although Song Shiyan wanted Chi Mingyu to suffer, the flood in Hezhou was a big deal. He couldn't really let anything happen to his roommate, so he arranged his people to be next to Chi Mingyu early in the morning.

The person who accompanied him this time was also the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household Department. Although he was young, he was quite resourceful and courageous. He was a good candidate for an official post. Being in the Imperial Household Department was actually a bit of a waste of talent. Song Shiyan admired him very much.

The reason for sending him to Hezhou this time was that it was hoped that he could make great contributions in treating the flood in Hezhou and use this as an excuse to promote him.

Chi Mingyu also knew that Gu Shaoqing was the Regent's man, so he didn't dare to get too close to him.

Gu Jingxuan was happy and at ease. What he looked down on the most was people like Chi Mingyu. It is said that if you eat the salary of the emperor, you should worry about the emperor. But Chi Mingyu occupied the position of prime minister, but he did nothing and didn't care about people's livelihood at all.

Of course, the king sitting on the dragon throne now is not the king recognized by Gu Jingxuan. In his heart, Song Shiyan should be the master of the world. Because he is wholeheartedly for the country and the people. Compared with Song Xuanchu, who has a narrow vision and always cares about trivial matters.

Song Shiyan is a leader who truly has a vision and is capable of making decisions.

But Gu Jingxuan knew that the regent was not the kind of person who would seek power and usurp the throne. He only hoped that the man in the Golden Palace could recognize his mediocrity. He could learn the way of governing the country from the regent wholeheartedly. He could focus all his attention on the people instead of being suspicious and focusing all his energy on eliminating loyal ministers and good generals.

Li Taifu's family bullies people by taking advantage of their power, plundering the people's wealth everywhere, and even robbing women and killing people. They should be eradicated.

The Yun family is affiliated with the Ministry of Revenue. They should be grateful for being able to hold the position of Shangshu and do their best to serve the country. However, they abused their power for personal gain and embezzled the court's money for their own use. This parasite should also be eliminated.

Chi Xiang was able to sit on the position of prime minister not because of his own talents, but he could not learn to be humble or low-key. He was obsessed with women all day long and even helped the emperor do some things that went against his conscience.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to have a daughter who became the regent princess, he would have been beheaded long ago.

He himself was a mediocre person, yet he still promoted a group of mediocre people and even allowed them to affect the interests of the people.

How can this person be a king?

Gu Jingxuan hoped that the man could go a little further, and preferably violate the bottom line of the Regent. Only in this way could the Regent make up his mind to replace him.

If Nanyue were really handed over to such a person to govern, the consequences would certainly be disastrous.

In the first few days, Chi Mingyu was more concerned about the flood situation, but after discovering Gu Jingxuan's talent, he decisively gave up the task. He was the highest-ranking official in Hezhou, and even if he did nothing, he would still be rewarded.

He found the beauty he dreamed of in Hezhou as he wished, and they fell into bed within two days.

Someone wrote a letter to report all these things to Song Shiyan.

After reading the letter, Song Shiyan gave it to Chi Tingwan.

Chi Tingwan glanced at them calmly and said, "I'm not surprised at all. Since it was Gu Shaoqing who worked so hard, the credit should naturally belong to him. When the flood is completely resolved, the good things he did should be made known to the world."

"Okay, I know what to do." Song Shiyan was also very dissatisfied with Chi Mingyu's behavior, but he was Chi Tingwan's biological father after all, and he couldn't ignore his wife's thoughts.

But since Chi Tingwan said so, there was no need for him to continue to go against his conscience and let Chi Mingyu go free.

Ning Momo had a hard time recently. Although she was born in the Ningguo Mansion, she was only a concubine's daughter after all. And she was the ugliest among all the sisters.

The stepmother was relatively kind to the other concubines' daughters. After all, if they married well, it would be beneficial to her and her legitimate sons and daughters.

But Ning Momo's reputation is not so good. She is known as the ugliest woman in Kyoto and has been acting weird lately. Lady Ningguo is now annoyed by hearing her name, not to mention making plans for her.

Ning Momo's biological mother was just a concubine of Duke Ning. This concubine was originally just a maid in Duke Ning's mansion. The reason why she had that night with Duke Ning was because Duke Ning was drugged and went to the wrong room.

Men are visual animals. When Duke Ning woke up and found that he had spent the night with the ugliest maid in the mansion, he was furious. He was unwilling to give her a status and even asked her to work in the clean room.

No one in the mansion looked down on this maid, thinking that she was ugly, but she was actually beautiful. She dared to seduce the Duke with that appearance. The maid had no way to defend herself and could only swallow her grievances.

Later, she was found to be pregnant, and Duke Ningguo could only take her as a concubine for the sake of the child. He also promised that if she could give birth to a son, he would make her his concubine. Unfortunately, she died of a difficult labor and heavy bleeding on the day of delivery.

After Ningguogong calmed down, he actually understood that what happened that night was his fault. Now that the person was dead, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so even though he gave birth to a daughter, he still gave her the status of concubine and let her be buried with honor.

Without a concubine and with a poor birth, it was difficult for him to make a living in the mansion.

Ning Momo felt that she could no longer live. [When can I change my body? Haven't there been any beautiful women who died recently?]

[Changing your body also requires opportunity, you can't just change it whenever you want. 】

[So can Ye Shuyi still die? Can this mission still be completed?] Ning Momo was very anxious. She couldn't even use hot water to take a shower, and the food she ate was just leftovers.

Now that autumn is approaching, the situation is better. The food sent from the kitchen a few days ago was all rotten. She had to sneak into the kitchen to eat every day.

She really couldn't get through the day.

No wonder Ning Momo was so depressed that she wanted to commit suicide. This is not a life for a human being!

[Your system has been offline——]

Ning Momo was so angry that her eyes were about to spit fire. Since she was chosen as the tasker, it meant that she should be the chosen one. She should be the heroine of this world.

But what kind of life is this? How can the heroine be so frustrated?

Since the system won't help her, she can only help herself.

The best plan now is to get close to Ye Shuyi first. It would be best if I could successfully gain her trust.

This is not difficult. After all, she knows a lot about Ye Shuyi.

After Ye Shuyi heard what Ning Momo said, she was stunned. She felt it was ridiculous, very ridiculous.

"Ms. Ning, although I don't know how you know these things, I advise you not to spread them around, lest you bring about a fatal disaster."

Ning Momo couldn't help but frown, "Why is your reaction so calm? Aren't you angry? You should have been the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It should have been you who married the Regent. She robbed your life, how can you be so calm?" Ning Momo looked puzzled.

Ye Shuyi smiled, "I don't deny that I should have been the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. But I don't agree that I should have been the one to marry the Regent. As everyone knows, although Miss Chi of the Prime Minister's Mansion is of noble birth, she is born with a kind heart. She dared to lend a helping hand when the Regent was still in the cold palace. Not everyone can do it. Even if I was in her position at the time, I might not be able to do it."

Ning Momo was a little dumbfounded, "You..."

"Besides, she and I were both infants at the time, so it wasn't her fault. What's more, she had helped me before."

"So what? You just accept your fate? If you weren't a merchant girl, how could the Beijun Palace look down on you? If they knew that you are the eldest princess's bloodline, they would definitely regret it." Ning Momo couldn't help but start with An Fengjun.

"I will go to my father to verify this matter. But the opinions of the Northern Prince's Mansion have nothing to do with me. I never think that the identity of a merchant's daughter is shameful. Similarly, I don't think Miss Chi is very happy to be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Ye Shuyi had heard about everything Chi Mingyu had done to Chi Tingwan before. She felt that she was better off than Chi Tingwan. Although she was not born into a wealthy family and her mother died early, she still had a father who loved her.

Although she almost trusted the wrong person before, she stopped the loss in time and avoided misfortune in the second half of her life.

She felt that she was lucky, much luckier than most girls.

Ning Momo was shocked. She had never expected Ye Shuyi to react like this. She was just an ordinary merchant girl. If the Ye family existed in modern times, they would be the envy of the wealthy.

But this was the ancient time when people looked down upon merchants.

But Ye Shuyi actually lived so clearly...
