The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

The queen made up her mind and decided to go to the emperor immediately to ask him why he made such an absurd decision. She quickly put on her clothes and walked towards the emperor's bedroom with anger in her heart.

The Empress, with a gloomy expression and a face full of anger, stormed into Emperor Qianlong's bedroom. She angrily demanded, "Why did the Emperor pass the throne to Qing'er? She's just a woman, a daughter of the imperial family. Why should she inherit the throne?"

The emperor's expression was as calm as water, and he replied calmly, "This is God's will, not something I can decide."

The Queen stared at the Emperor with eyes wide open in disbelief, and angrily demanded, "I don't believe it! There is no such thing as providence in this world! That woman must have used some kind of sorcery to deceive the Emperor!"

The emperor frowned and scolded, "Queen, don't talk nonsense."

The Queen sneered, "Your Majesty, do not be deceived by that woman's appearance. Our son is the true bloodline and should inherit the throne!"

The emperor sighed helplessly and said, "Queen, I have made up my mind. There is no need to say more." After that, the emperor turned and left, leaving the queen standing there, shaking with anger.

As for the Empress Dowager, Emperor Qianlong told her about the previous dream the fairy had given her and what he had dreamed about this time. Although she was shocked by it, she accepted it quickly and even thought that the last dream was to pave the way for their princess.

Upon learning this, the Fifth Prince, Yongqi, felt a mixture of emotions. He had always considered himself the invisible crown prince, harboring a secret desire and expectation for the throne. However, now that the Emperor had unexpectedly passed the throne to Qing'er, even though Qing'er was very capable, he still felt puzzled and indignant.

He was puzzled by the fact that he had always strived hard to excel, whether in literature, martial arts, or governing the country, and that the Emperor had been very pleased with him, but why hadn't the Emperor chosen him? Furthermore, why would the Emperor, now in his prime, abdicate? He was also indignant that Qing'er was a woman, not the Emperor's child, so how could she inherit the throne?

Yet, amidst this confusion and resentment, Yongqi felt a sense of relief. For years, to please his father, he had endured immense pressure, constantly vigilant and striving for excellence, fearing even the slightest error. Now that the throne was no longer his, he seemed able to finally lay down those heavy burdens and return to being a free man.

Perhaps this, too, was a kind of liberation. He could no longer be bound by power, pursuing the life he truly desired. He could also pursue the people he loved with peace of mind, without fear that his status would become an obstacle between them. However, beneath this sense of ease, a subtle sense of loss and resentment still lingered.

Regardless of the previous dynasty and harem, the day when the new emperor ascended the throne arrived as scheduled.

The sun shone on the magnificent palace, casting a golden and magnificent light. Qing'er, dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe and wearing a dazzling crown, walked step by step towards the throne that symbolized supreme power.

Inside and outside the palace, courtiers knelt respectfully, chanting "Long live the emperor!" Musicians struck up stirring music, drums and music blaring in unison, a deafening roar. Qing'er's eyes were firm and confident, her steps steady and powerful, as if declaring her resolve and commitment to the world.

When Qing'er finally sat upon the throne, the entire palace was engulfed in solemnity. Looking down at the courtiers below, she felt a surge of responsibility and mission. She knew that from this moment on, she would shoulder the fate and future of the entire nation.

Qing'er stood up and delivered her coronation speech to the court in a resounding voice. She pledged to govern the country with wisdom and courage, to work for the well-being of the people, and for the prosperity of the nation. The courtiers once again shouted "Long live the new empress," expressing their loyalty and respect for the new empress.

After the coronation ceremony, Qing'er, surrounded by her maids and guards, emerged from the palace to receive the cheers and blessings of the people. She smiled and waved, her eyes gleaming with hope. At this moment, Qing'er became the center of attention, poised to lead the nation to new heights of glory.

After ascending the throne, Qing'er, like a wise helmsman, resolved to begin with political reform. She understood the crucial importance of a stable political environment, the cornerstone of national development. She recruited a diverse group of talented and intelligent individuals to form a think tank, which worked together to develop fairer and more equitable laws and regulations to protect the rights of those at the bottom of society.

At the same time, Qing'er also understood the importance of building up military strength. She understood that only a strong army could protect the nation like a sturdy shield. Therefore, she modernized the military, drawing on the valuable information Mianmian had brought back. She delved deeply into military strategy, meticulously developed advanced weaponry, and strengthened its research, development, and manufacturing. Some weapons, such as nuclear weapons, could be as sharp as swords even against future cultivators. However, their destructive power was so great that they were best avoided unless absolutely necessary.

On the economic front, Qing'er vigorously promoted economic reforms and developed commerce and industry. She skillfully utilized modern data and introduced modern business models, encouraging entrepreneurship and innovation, fostering trade and economic prosperity. At the same time, she focused on strengthening infrastructure and improving transportation and communications, paving the way for national prosperity.

In the field of education, she also carried out drastic institutional reforms and devoted herself to cultivating practical talents. The science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses she offered were like opening doors to the palace of wisdom for students, carefully cultivating innovative thinking and practical skills.

She treasured the development of science and technology, paying close attention to it. She skillfully applied modern scientific knowledge and technology, placing particular emphasis on agricultural improvement, industrial manufacturing, and medical advancement. To this end, she established research institutions, carefully cultivated talent, and vigorously promoted the development and application of science and technology.

Finally, speaking of social reform, this is undoubtedly a focus issue that all emperors pay close attention to. She implemented a series of inspiring policies, such as improving people's livelihood, eliminating poverty, and promoting social equity, aiming to improve people's living standards and enhance national cohesion and stability.

After years of unremitting efforts, the country was reborn and the people's living standards were significantly improved. Qing'er's reputation was also at its peak, and she became a wise ruler in the eyes of the people. At that time, people no longer had the idea of ​​male superiority over female, and the status of women was greatly improved.
