(Daily life + personal growth + political intrigue + governing the country + expanding the realm + raising children + one woman with multiple partners)
In the second year of her reign, Empress Lin Yuting was trying for a child and became pregnant by her secondary consort, Li Yucheng. The baby would be her first legitimate son.
Her husband, Li Yucheng, became the first top scholar of the dynasty under the empress’s reign. It was his moment to shine.
As a rare female emperor, Lin Yuting had no intention of being content with merely preserving the status quo. Besides, countless small kingdoms surrounded her realm. If she didn’t teach a harsh lesson to the neighboring states that repeatedly harassed the borders of the Feng Dynasty, she’d only give other restless little kingdoms more chances to cause endless trouble. She’d learned the hard way that such a losing proposition was one experience too many.
As generals, An Xinyang, Zhou Moxian, Zhao Qingguang, and the others loved nothing more than expanding the realm, securing the nation, and bringing peace to its people…
As civil officials, Qi Zheng, Liu Yuchen, and their fellow ministers excelled at governing and managing the realm…
As teachers, Li Yucheng, Liu Yuchen, Wang Boxian, and the others were skilled at educating students and passing on knowledge and practical abilities…
As the officials in charge of the imperial harem, Zhao Qingxuan and Shangguan Nanyi were determined to manage its affairs well, honor their elders, and do everything possible to spare Their Majesty any worries…
The other secondary consorts excelled at following orders and upholding the virtues expected of husbands.
The officials throughout the realm were skilled at making proposals, taking advice, and carrying out policies to the letter.
Under the empress’s leadership, the people stood united. With such solidarity, how could the nation fail to grow rich and strong, its people live in peace and contentment, and the land enjoy tranquility? Together, they would welcome an age of peace and prosperity, with all nations coming to pay tribute.
See how the empress, through her own efforts, creates a glorious age of national prosperity and strength, bringing her reign to its very peak.
