Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Once you enter the emperor's study, even though the room is filled with palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, it is very quiet.

Even the rustling of pages can be heard.

From a distance, Jiang Jiu stared at the emperor curiously.

Nanny Qian couldn't help but remind her: "When you see the emperor, you must bow your head..."

Jiang Jiu curled his lips: "So what if he's the emperor? A face is meant to be seen. Besides, how can you tell if it's good-looking if you don't see it..."

In order to adapt to local customs, Jiang Jiu lowered his head obediently.

"Princess Ronghua has arrived."

Jiang Jiu knelt down reluctantly and kowtowed: "Your servant Yao Qin pays homage to the Emperor..."

As she spoke, she quietly looked up and heard Nanny Qian shouting loudly.

"Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Jiang Jiu could only continue to shout: "Long live the emperor."

Zhao Zhuoxi was reviewing memorials, and in his hand was a memorial from a minister asking him to spare Princess Zhaoyang.

Princess Zhaoyang almost caused his death, so Zhao Zhuoxi had her locked up, and the other people in the princess's mansion were either killed or exiled.

Only Princess Zhaoyang was left. As she was older and the elder, someone pleaded for her.

Moreover, when the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty, Zhao Zhuoxi demoted Princess Zhaoyang to a commoner, drove her out of the capital, and never allowed her to enter the capital again.

When he heard the people shouting below, he waved his hand without even raising his head.

"Okay, go make the arrangements."

Now that his beloved woman is gone, he has no time to care about other women.

Jiang Jiu didn't care about him anyway, so he stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a triangular golden toad on the emperor's desk.

"How strange! Why doesn't this golden toad have any copper coins in its mouth?"

Zhao Zhuoxi was suddenly startled and raised his head.

"Do you know this golden toad?"

Jiang Jiu blinked, and blinked again. Could it be that she was exposed?

That’s not right. People in ancient times also worshipped the God of Wealth.

Besides, the three-legged golden toad is a mythical beast that has been passed down since ancient times.

"Yes, I know you, what's wrong?"

What Jiang Jiu didn't know was that this kind of mythical beast was not common at all in Daning.

Usually merchants in Daning worship the God of Wealth and the Five Gods of Wealth.

There was only a small boat belonging to Jiang Jiu's family, and the shop was filled with three-legged golden toads with a copper coin in their mouths.

More importantly, only the small boat in Suzhou City releases the three-legged golden toad, while people in the capital still worship the God of Wealth.

There was deep sadness in Zhao Zhuoxi's eyes when he looked at Jiang Jiu.

"How did you recognize it? Do you know its purpose?"

Jiang Jiu thought that many modern shops displayed this, but how did she recognize it here?

"I saw a painting in which someone was playing with a golden toad. The toad was spitting out gold, symbolizing great wealth..."

It’s just that an emperor puts a golden toad on the table, but the world doesn’t belong to him. He must love money very much to want it to increase in number.

Zhao Zhuoxi wanted to say something, but looking at the familiar face, he pursed his thin lips.

"Are you cold? Would you like some hot tea?"

This was the code he and she agreed upon.

She said that if they lost each other in the future, they would say this.

But at this moment, Jiang Jiu was poisoned by the hatred of separation and had completely forgotten his last time traveling.

I thought this was just my first time traveling through time.

When she heard the emperor's question, she opened her eyes wide in horror.

The emperor's tea doesn't taste good, it might be poison.

"Oh, no, no, I'm not thirsty..."

The secret code didn't match, and the fire in Zhao Zhuoxi's eyes instantly went out. He stared at her blankly for a long time before waving his hand in disappointment.

"Go down."

Jiang Jiu cursed in his heart, wondering if the emperor was sick.

As soon as he left the imperial study, Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking.

"Madam Qian? Is the Emperor really short of money? Why is there a golden toad on the table?"

Nanny Qian felt miserable and her throat ached, but she didn't want to tell him why.

That three-legged golden toad was made by her out of pure gold to protect her house.

Now that the person is gone, only these items are left. His Majesty keeps them like treasures and does not allow anyone to touch them. He even wipes them himself.

"The national treasury is short of silver, and Your Majesty also wants money."

Nanny Qian made up an excuse.

Jiang Jiu curled her lips. It seemed that she was right. The emperor really loved money.

It's a pity that she can't share the emperor's worries. She is trapped in the palace and has no way to make money.

After coming out of the imperial study, Jiang Jiu's residence was assigned to the eastern palace, which was closer to the emperor's bedroom.

But no matter which way you go, you have to pass by the queen's bedroom.

Jiang Jiuyi saw that the queen's bedroom was blown to pieces and the workers were still repairing it, so he stood there and watched for a while.

"Didn't they say the palace was safe? The Queen's bedroom was bombed like this..."

If she were to live there in the future, would she still be able to survive?

Even though the queen's monthly salary was high and her status was noble.

But you have to save your life.

It’s bad enough that the emperor is unlucky with his wife, but even the queen can be blown up in the palace. So what if she becomes the queen?

As soon as Nanny Qian saw the back hall, she thought of her and her heart ached.

"This was done by the former empress, who intended to harm the late emperor. The late emperor did this to protect himself."

Jiang Jiu smacked his lips and said, "How many tons of gunpowder would it take to blow up the palace like this..."

Wait, was the technology in ancient times so advanced that they even had gunpowder?

Yes, gunpowder is one of the four great inventions.

Okay, she admitted it.

The group returned to her palace, and Jiang Jiu could finally rest for a while.

He collapsed onto the couch, not wanting to stand up.

"The palace is so huge, I'm exhausted..."

Nanny Qian coughed gently, "Princess, please pay attention to your appearance and demeanor. Be dignified in front of so many servants."

Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes and sat up straight.

Looking back at where I live, I’m shocked to see people everywhere.

"Madam Qian, I have hands and feet, I don't need so many people to serve me. Let them all go. Everyone is equal. How can we enslave others?"

Nanny Qian was stunned for a moment and her heart trembled.

She also often said that she had hands and feet and did not need anyone to serve her.

It is often said that everyone is equal, and being served is enslaving others, which she is not used to.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand.

"According to the Queen's regulations, there are sixty-four palace maids, thirty-two eunuchs, and twenty-eight guards."

Ah, with so many people following, no wonder travel was so grand in ancient times.

"However, the princess is not yet the queen, so I will leave six people to serve her."

Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Six people, that’s all.

There were two people left in the room, a palace maid and Taohua.

Two palace maids were left outside the room to sweep and do the rough work.

Two eunuchs were also left behind to run errands.

After giving her instructions, Nanny Qian left with her men one after another.

As soon as she left, Jiang Jiu collapsed on the couch again.

"Finally, we're leaving. There are so many rules. I'm exhausted. Taohua, give me a leg massage."

Taohua quickly gave her a leg massage, and another palace maid was named Yunshu.

He tactfully poured a cup of tea for Jiang Jiu.

"Princess, have some tea to moisten your throat."
