"Your Majesty is so lucky! She entered the palace as a noble concubine. If she gives birth to a little prince in the future, she will be the queen!"

"In order to welcome the Imperial Concubine, His Majesty began renovating Chengqian Palace several months ago. He brought in everything from gold, jade, night-shining pearls, tribute silks and satins—everything valuable was brought into the palace. I heard he even emptied out most of His Majesty's private vaults!"

"I heard that the Empress's wedding dress is made of Yunjin Su embroidery, specially supplied from Jiangnan, and sewn with gold thread!"

"How enviable! If I were..."

"Don't let your wishful thinking foolishly lead you on! The Queen is the daughter of a first-rank general, and her family is distinguished. How can a small weed like you compare to the graceful and elegant peony of the Queen? Let's serve the Queen well, and we will surely rise to prominence in the future."

It was bustling outside the hall, but it was silent inside.

Beside the exquisite bed, sat a woman in a red wedding gown. Beneath the red veil, An Yan stared at the apple in her hand with a bewildered expression.

Didn’t she… turn to ashes?

The rumbling sounds of several thunder tribulations are still ringing in my ears, and the powerlessness and unwillingness of losing strength and dissipating soul are still deeply engraved in my heart.

But where is this place? She squeezed the apple in her hand and took a bite.

The teeth marks are clearly visible.

"It's real gold!" a soft and cute voice tinged with surprise came.

"Duango?"

"Yes, it's your precious dumpling, mother!"

An Yan threw off her veil and looked around, "Tuanzi, where are you? Where are we?"

A soft voice sighed.

"You didn't survive the last thunder tribulation, and it was Daddy who expended his entire life's cultivation to protect your soul."

"The Immortal Lord..." An Yan felt a pain in her heart.

"It was because of that thunder tribulation that I broke through the seal and became the carrier of the system. Therefore, I bound myself to Mother and allowed you to come to the small world. As long as you can fulfill the original owner's wish and gain the power of the wish, once you have enough energy, you can be resurrected and return to see Father!"

An Yan nodded with a heavy expression.

"I don't have enough energy right now to transform into a human, but I will always be by my mother's side."

An Yan caressed the small meteorite on the bracelet and said, "Thank you, little dumpling."

Tuanzi smiled shyly.

"If Daddy and Mom hadn't picked me up, I would still be just a little stone that no one wanted. I'm glad I could help."

"Okay! Then let's fulfill her wish as soon as possible and try to go home as soon as possible!"

Tuanzi coughed lightly.

"Let me introduce my identity to you, mother. The original owner was also a great beauty, but not as beautiful as you~"

An Yan picked up the bronze mirror and examined it carefully, nodding as she admired it. "She has delicate features, pure and elegant, a true beauty. It's wonderful to be young, with the youth and tenderness of a teenager, but I just can't feel any magical power. Ah, my thousand-year-old body... won't be scorched by the cracks, will it?"

“…” Tuanzi was speechless for a moment and spoke hesitantly.

"Mother, your body is already... uh, but it doesn't matter! We can reshape it, and then you can be as beautiful as you want!"

An Yan sighed, "Okay, let's accept my identity and background first."

The original owner, Qiao Anyan, was the legitimate daughter of a great general. She came from a distinguished family and held a distinguished status. Her first half of life was smooth sailing, but just as she was about to reach adulthood, her beloved betrayed her. An imperial decree summoned her to the palace.

The emperor's unwavering love rekindled her disillusioned heart, leading her to gradually fall for him. Overwhelmed by the countless shady schemes within the palace, she was caught unawares and faced the consequences of a failed pregnancy. After exhausting her resources, she finally became pregnant, only to learn her father had been framed for treason.

At this time, the emperor changed his attitude. She knelt outside the palace and asked for a thorough investigation. She did not see the emperor until she fainted due to miscarriage. When she woke up, she was told that she could no longer have children.

The day she was banished to the cold palace was the day the emperor appointed his beloved concubine, Concubine Shu, as his empress. Later, Concubine Shu came to the cold palace to show off, telling her that everything was the emperor's plan. She was merely a shield to protect Concubine Shu, a pawn to eliminate the general who was so powerful that he outshone the emperor. She also told her that the general's entire clan had been executed, including her two-month-old nephew.

She went completely mad. After stealing the guard's knife and killing Concubine Shu, she wanted to seek revenge on the emperor, but was eventually shot to death outside the cold palace, ending her life.

"Oh, what a poor woman!" Tuanzi sighed.

"Her wish is to protect her family and avenge the adulterous couple. Now is the day when the original owner was first taken into the palace."

"Well, Tuanzi, how do you think the Dog Emperor would die that would satisfy the original owner? How about being struck by lightning?"

"It hurts, but I can give him this! Feed him one more drop of my mother's blood. The demonic poison is incurable, and he'll die of festering all over his body."

An Yan nodded with satisfaction, "As expected of you!"

Tuanzi was proud. "It's all thanks to my mother's good teaching!"

As they were talking, footsteps were heard at the door, and someone knocked gently. "Your Majesty, His Majesty has specially ordered lotus seed soup to be brought here."

"Enter!"

Nanny Zhou led the maid in, "Hail, Your Majesty!" The maid performed the ceremony and placed the soup on the table.

"Your Majesty knows that the Queen has not had her meal today. He originally wanted to come earlier, but was held back by the busy government affairs. He was also worried that the Queen would starve, so he specially ordered someone to stew some lotus seed soup and send it over so that the Queen can have some first." Nanny Zhou smiled with wrinkles on her face.

"Well, step back." An Yan said coldly without moving.

Nanny Zhou paused and said in a condescending and instructive tone, "Your Majesty, this is a gift from His Majesty. You should express your gratitude and enjoy it."

"who are you?"

Seeing An Yan looking at her, Nanny Zhou puffed out her chest and said, "This servant is..."

"Since you are a slave, how dare you act like an elder in front of me!" An Yan said sternly.

Nanny Zhou was stunned, her face flushed. Since the Emperor ascended the throne, her status had risen sharply, and everyone treated her with respect. "Although I am a servant, I am also the current Emperor's wet nurse. The Emperor was raised on my breast milk since childhood..."

"Oh, just because he drank a few sips of your milk, you're considered an elder? The Emperor has drunk so much milk from cows and goats since he was a child. Shouldn't he also keep cows and goats in the palace and respect them as old ladies? The Emperor's elders are only the Empress Dowager now, and you, a lowly slave, actually covet the position of Empress Dowager!"

This crime was so serious that Nanny Zhou fell to her knees in fear and said, "I dare not!"

"What are you afraid of? Don't you dare to show off in front of me?"

"My words were inappropriate. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Nanny Zhou gritted her teeth. She muttered to herself, "They say the general's daughter is gentle, demure, and kind. How could she be so sharp-tongued and arrogant today? It seems the rumors are wrong. I've hit a wall." "So what? I'll complain to the emperor later."

"Oh, if apologizing is useful, then what's the point of palace rules and regulations?" An Yan looked at her nails calmly. The color was a little faded. She would dye them with Impatiens juice another day.

Seeing that she was serious, Nanny Zhou was frightened. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Today is Your Majesty's big day. It's okay to punish me, but I'm afraid it would be bad if I saw blood."

Seeing that she still didn't speak, Nanny Zhou hardened her heart and raised her hand to hit herself in the face.

The old man's face trembled as a palm strike left a red mark on his face, causing her to grimace in pain. But she didn't dare to stop and continued to hit him one after another.

"What are you doing?"
