After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

After the grand and solemn coronation ceremony, Tang Wenshu felt as if all her strength had been drained from her. She collapsed onto the bed like a puddle of mud. The magnificent yet weighty crown, weighing dozens of kilograms, pressed down on her neck, and the heavy clothing she wore felt like a thousand-pound burden, making it difficult to breathe. This went on for several hours, and Tang Wenshu felt as if her bones were about to fall apart.

"Shushu, you should rest for a while. I need to go to the imperial study to handle some government affairs." Zhao Rui said softly, a hint of fatigue in her voice. In fact, Zhao Rui was also exhausted physically and mentally at this moment, not only because of the physical fatigue brought by the long ceremony, but more importantly, it came from the huge pressure deep in her heart.

Zhao Rui had been disguising herself as a man for over twenty years, carefully concealing her true identity. As the Crown Prince, she had her father, the Emperor, to protect her from the elements. But now, as the Emperor, the burden on her shoulders had suddenly become immensely heavier. Not to mention the power-hungry Empress Dowager, the mere presence of General Zhao, who commanded a significant military presence at court, was a constant source of anxiety. Add to that the near absence of any true confidants within the imperial court and harem, and she was in a precarious situation, surrounded on all sides by danger.

After Zhao Rui left the palace, Tang Wenshu tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Though her body was exhausted, her mind was remarkably clear, her thoughts racing like a wild horse. After much deliberation, Tang Wenshu felt uneasy about Zhao Rui facing such a difficult situation alone. Gritting her teeth, she struggled out of bed, determined to head to the imperial study to see if there was anything she could do to help.

Tang Wenshu, dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, walked gracefully, flanked by several palace maids and the ever-present Kuang Tie. These maids were all assigned by the palace, and the reason Tang Wenshu brought Kuang Tie with him even though he was in the palace was because, as an outsider, his unusual body didn't require the same castration and eunuchhood as other men.

The group had just passed a corner of the Imperial Garden when suddenly, a burst of clear, melodious laughter reached them from afar. Before they could even leave, the sounds of chasing and playing grew closer, as if to break through any obstacle. They were about to collide with Tang Wenshu, but she was followed closely by a group of palace maids, leaving no room for escape.

At the critical moment, Tang Wenshu swiftly dodged to the side, but the rioters followed her movements as if by telepathy, rushing in the same direction. Finally, with a few screams, they fell to the ground, making close contact with the cold, hard ground, and even their once clean and pristine clothes were instantly covered in dust.

Tang Wenshu took a deep breath, trying to calm his chaotic mind. Then he opened his eyes wide and looked ahead carefully. It was truly shocking! The four beautiful, charming women lying on the ground in such a state of disarray were actually beautiful women.

The four women frantically struggled to their feet, not even bothering to comb their tangled silken hair or wipe the stains off their skirts. They hurriedly knelt on their knees, heads bowed, and said in unison, "Your Majesty, your ...

After hearing these words, Tang Wenshu couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart, and she once again looked at the four people intently. Oh my! She suddenly realized that these people were the same group she had seen in the Crown Prince's Palace before! But it was very strange. Zhao Rui had clearly not yet officially held the canonization ceremony for them, so how could they appear here so soon? Tang Wenshu pondered inwardly, thinking over it over and over again, she felt that this matter was most likely orchestrated by the Queen Mother.

Thinking of this, Tang Wenshu couldn't help but snort coldly, and said seriously, "Hmph! Since you all know that your behavior just now has violated the rules of etiquette, yet you still act so recklessly and recklessly, playing around and frolicking, aren't you knowingly breaking the law? Such reckless behavior truly deserves punishment! I think that each of you will be punished after returning home to copy the Buddhist scriptures ten times, and to pray wholeheartedly and sincerely for His Majesty's blessings and to eliminate disasters. I hope that through this small punishment, you will remember not to be so presumptuous and disrespectful in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the four people's eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with disbelief, their hearts filled with indignation and hatred, gritting their teeth. They had believed the young lady from the Duke of Tang's mansion, who had said that the newly appointed empress was a coward and easily bullied. But now it seemed that they had been completely deceived!

"What's the matter? Are you feeling dissatisfied?" Tang Wenshu stared intently at the concubines who usually pretended to be virtuous. Then he slowly leaned close to their ears and whispered softly, "If you truly feel wronged, then I will impose another ban - house arrest for a month! I will let you reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."

As soon as the words fell, those people clenched their teeth tightly, suppressing the anger in their hearts, and squeezed out a few words from between their teeth: "We will obey the Queen's order..." However, anyone could see that although they were obedient on the surface at this moment, their resentment towards Tang Wenshu was getting deeper and deeper in their hearts.

Tang Wenshu then slowly spoke, "From your tone, it's obvious that you are filled with resentment and dissatisfaction! Well, in that case, just copy it 20 more times. In addition, you will be confined to your room for another month, copying it once a day. I think this will allow you to calm down and recuperate." After saying that, she raised her chin slightly, with a hint of majesty in her eyes.

At this moment, the four concubines, known for their virtuous character, though filled with anger, could only force themselves to suppress their anger and bowed to Tang Wenshu in gratitude. They knelt respectfully, their eyes following Tang Wenshu's receding figure, and only dared to slowly stand up after he completely disappeared.

One of the concubines gnashed her teeth and cursed in a low voice, "Hmph! None of the people in Duke Tang's Mansion are good! We heard that they have a bad relationship with her, but they still helped to deceive us! How despicable!" The other three also nodded in agreement, full of resentment towards Tang Wen and the Duke's Mansion.
