On the day Wang Zhengjun escaped from the wedding, an old woman touched her face and said, "With your face, you will be the mother of dragons in the future."
She believed it.
As a result, he was knocked unconscious with a sap and sold to Yeting. The lowest-ranking family members wash toilets, stand on canes, and kneel in the rain to sing the final song to the dying palace maid. Everyone said that at this age, I still want to climb high and dream.
Until that day, the old eunuch beside the prince passed by and heard the river folk song sung by Wang Zhengjun.
"Put her on the shortlist."
On the day when the prince chose his concubine, the prince pointed his finger at the girl sitting farthest away. On the wedding night, the prince had a cold face the whole time. He stood up and said, "Mother's destiny is inevitable," and never set foot on her threshold again.
Wang Zhengjun thought this was the worst day.
Later she found out that it was just an appetizer.
Of the dozen or so women in the harem, only two did not want her life. Some people poisoned her with a silver comb, some mixed safflower in her anti-fetal medicine, some forged her private correspondence, and some tried to kill her son.
Wang Zhengjun all remembered it. Record it in the account book one by one.
From the maid who washed the toilet in Yeting to the Empress Dowager who has been in charge of the world for sixty-one years, what she relies on is not her beauty or favor, but her account book and her brain that always looks one step ahead of her opponents.
When his nephew Wang Mang usurped the throne and sent someone to ask for the imperial seal, Wang Zhengjun raised the seal and smashed a corner.
"Even if the Han family's things are broken, they won't be given to him."
She spent her life proving one thing: women who don't cry are the cruelest.
