   The female author's proudest pure ancient romance novel‼️ Two forms of portrayal of the young emperor and empress, completed, please enjoy! It's exceptionally good, intelligent and logical, with a very positive outlook, stunning to the core🔥 Very charming and novel, clear-headed and rational, several truly great female protagonists who are not saints, and in the end all achieve fame and fortune, possessing immense power✌️❤️ 1: Domestic intrigue + palace intrigue🩷 A bit tear-jerking, similar to the melancholy of an unfulfilled love😭 My beloved female supporting character who is so unforgettable! The daughter of a jade merchant meets a down-on-his-luck prince who has fallen into poverty, but there is no spark of affection between them until they fight assassins in a dilapidated temple. She falls in love with him, but he falls in love with another extremely weak woman. By chance, he is helped to the throne by a powerful minister. 👑🍅 He didn't love her, but respected her and needed her wisdom to help him navigate the power struggles between officials and the emperor. She, in turn, coexisted peacefully with his lover. She loved him, and therefore loved him in a way that pleased the male lead. 😍🍅 In the end, it was that seemingly fragile woman who ultimately protected the female lead with her own life. 😊 The story leaves one with a sense of melancholy; it's rare to find a male and female lead who don't fall in love, yet mutually utilize each other without competition. The impact is profound. 2: Palace Intrigue and Power ❤️ The seemingly innocent but actually cunning female lead is born a slave girl, yet possesses the face of a phoenix. The matriarch, instead of killing her, invests heavily in her upbringing and influence, successfully sending her into the palace. The young emperor falls instantly in love with her 💘 and immediately makes her empress 👑 To protect her secret and power, she schemes to use external forces to overthrow her enemies, nearly destroying the harem. However, the emperor, deeply in love with her, cannot bring himself to punish her, not even to the point of neglecting her. 😍 The most poignant moment is her final, deathbed confession. The emperor knew all along that she was a slave girl and that she was ruthless and merciless, but he was only grateful to be emperor and able to help her. He also longed to be protected by her unconditionally 😭 It's incredibly moving and makes you cry.

    (Shuang Jie Shuang Jie!!) Mu Yinnian's eyes curved slightly, as if responding to her inner doubts, and he casually asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Jiang Zhiyu feigned composure, speaking without thinking, "No, I just think Your Majesty looks very handsome today." "Then does the Empress like it?" "Hmm... Like, like?" "Hmm?" "Yes! I like it very much!" Especially after she said "I like it very much," when Mu Yinnian looked at her and smiled, she could clearly feel the sound of his chest beating. Jiang Zhiyu blinked, leaned forward slightly, watching Mu Yinnian's reaction while tentatively reaching out her hand. "Then, shall I coax you?" Under Mu Yinnian's gaze, she placed her hand on the top of his head and lightly patted it twice. Mu Yinnian felt the barely perceptible movement on his head, and in that instant, his heart felt as if it had been hit by a feather. She quickly withdrew her hand, sat up straight, and avoided his gaze. "Is Your Majesty in a better mood now?" A few scattered smiles appeared in Mu Yinnian's eyes, his voice gentle and warm. "Yes, I am." After thinking for a moment, looking at Jiang Zhiyu's flushed cheeks, he added almost unconsciously, "My little Empress has soothed me." Mu Yinnian stood there, watching the woman smiling radiantly in the sunlight. At that moment, something seemed to pierce his heart, causing his heart to race. Jiang Zhiyu was smiling when she caught a glimpse of a dark figure out of the corner of her eye. Her smile faltered slightly as she turned her head. Upon seeing that it was Mu Yinnian, her smile deepened. Jiang Zhiyu chuckled softly at his words, then beckoned to Mu Yinnian, signaling him to lower his head. Mu Yinnian naturally bent down, adjusting to Jiang Zhiyu's height, even moving closer to her. "Luckily, we met the Emperor yesterday, otherwise he would have been in danger too." "Yes, thankfully, we met you." Mu Yinnian leaned forward slightly, his dark eyes clearly reflecting Jiang Zhiyu's figure. Jiang Zhiyu's mischievous smile faded slightly, and her heart suddenly raced. The moment her face was pinched, Jiang Zhiyu was startled. Mu Yinnian, acting on her impulse, saw her stunned expression, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards even wider. [These hands, they look perfect for holding hands.] [Oh, you held my hand before~~~] Jiang Zhiyu's eyes crinkled with delight. Mu Yinnian listened quietly, naturally taking Jiang Zhiyu's hand and leading her to sit on the dragon throne. Mu Yinnian: "Alright, but there's one thing the Empress must remember." Jiang Zhiyu: "What?" Mu Yinnian's expression was serious, "No matter what you do, protect yourself first, understand?" "Your Majesty~ which side are you on?" She's quite cute. Mu Yinnian couldn't resist pinching Jiang Zhiyu's cheek again, meeting her frustrated gaze with a soft laugh. "Of course, it's on your side." Looking at the back of her head, the subtle smile in Mu Yinnian's eyes gradually gathered, finally settling into a pool of clear water. "Empress, don't worry, I will definitely stay far away from Xiang Xiuyuan and resolutely prevent her from getting close!" So, you can forget about leaving me! Jiang Zhiyu scrambled to her feet, acting without thinking, and gave Mu Yinnian a quick kiss on the cheek. "My little fish, what do you think I should do?" Mu Yinnian pursed his lips, took her hand in his, and whispered under her gaze, "Will Little Fish think I'm cruel?" Jiang Zhiyu's smile grew even gentler. She bent down and placed a kiss on Mu Yinnian's unconsciously furrowed brow. "No, I think you did a great job." "Little Fish, it's so good to have you." Jiang Zhiyu forgot the pain in her foot in her happiness, bent down and kissed Mu Yinnian's handsome face haphazardly. "Your Majesty, you're so good, I love you to death." Mu Yinnian's ears turned red, and he replied softly, "I, I love you too." "Little Fish, will you always be by my side?" Mu Yinnian leaned on Jiang Zhiyu's shoulder and suddenly asked in a muffled voice. "Yes, can A-Nian always be with me?" Jiang Zhiyu asked slowly in return. "Alright, alright, it's my fault. Kisses, kisses will make it stop hurting." "Little Fish, I'm serious about disbanding the harem." "I have you in this life, that's enough. As for the others, they were forced into the palace, which is already unfortunate. I didn't have the ability to make them leave before, but now that I can, why let them continue to waste their youth in the palace?" Mu Yinnian hugged her and happily spun her around before saying, "Little Fish, from now on, I'm only yours! Are you happy?" "Happy, happy, put me down quickly!" Jiang Zhiyu laughed and patted Mu Yinnian's arm, afraid that he would drop her. She was both amused and exasperated, cupped Mu Yinnian's face, and kissed his lips as she wished. "A-Nian is so great, so amazing." "Little Fish, one more kiss." "I shouldn't call you Little Fish, I should call you Little Cat." He stumbled to the bedside, and as soon as he reached Jiang Zhiyu, his legs gave way and he knelt down. His knees slammed hard against the bed, but Mu Yinnian didn't care. Or rather, he didn't even feel the pain. His face ashen, he grasped Jiang Zhiyu's cold hand, his voice trembling as he carefully called her name. "Little Yu'er, don't you want me anymore?" "I don't want the child anymore. It's my fault. From now on, you can look at whoever you want. Even if you use my money to support other men, it doesn't matter. I just want you to be alright!" "Little Yu'er, please open your eyes and look at me, please!" The hand held in Mu Yinnian's palm suddenly tightened. Under Mu Yinnian's surprised gaze, the person with tightly closed eyes slowly opened them. "... Little Niannian, how did you know I wanted to use your money to support men..." Madam Jiang looked gently at the swaddled infant in her arms, her expression tender: "Your Majesty and Little Yu are both blessed people. From today onwards, everything will surely go smoothly for you." Mu Yinnian placed the child on the bed, turned, and knelt before Shangguan Qian. "Thank you, Master, for saving Xiaoyuer's life!" He kowtowed solemnly. Feeling his trembling disciple, Shangguan Qian sighed, his rough palm gently resting on the back of his head. "Xiaonian, don't be afraid, it's alright now, Xiaoyuer is still alive." "Mmm..." Mu Yinnian responded softly, crystal tears silently falling. He didn't verbally comfort him, but looking at the child's unconsciously softened expression, he could still see the love for him. Mu Yinnian did indeed feel some resentment towards them. Because of them, his Xiaoyuer had almost lost his life. But compared to resentment, love was even stronger. This was his and Xiaoyuer's child, the child Xiaoyuer had risked her life to give birth to, their child. When Jiang Zhiyu woke up, the first thing she saw was Xiaonian, her face streaked with tears. "Yes, I've thought it all through. If you leave me, I'll go with you." She laughed and scolded, "Aren't you silly? You can't possibly abandon your country like that!" "Although I can't, I will follow you after I've arranged everything." Jiang Zhiyu was speechless, only hugging Mu Yinnian with red eyes. "Having such a husband is my good fortune." "No, meeting you is my good fortune." Mu Yinnian smiled and protected her, his warm palm resting on her waist. "Because of you, I am also very content." Meeting Xiaoyuer was truly the greatest fortune of his life. Time flies, and happy life is like water flowing through fingers. In the blink of an eye, fifty-eight years have passed. The ninety-seven-year-old Mu Yinnian supported the equally white-haired Jiang Zhiyu beside him, his wrinkled face still full of tenderness when he looked at the little old woman beside him. "Be careful, don't fall again." The old woman, whose eyesight wasn't very good, raised her face. "I won't, I'm in great shape today!" When Mu Yinnian was ninety, he suffered a serious illness. Everyone thought he wouldn't make it, but he survived, even persevering for seven more years. Mu Yinnian slowly shook his head: "It's not stubbornness, it's that I can't bear to." He couldn't bear to leave before Xiaoyuer, and he couldn't bear to see Xiaoyuer lonely in her old age. Tears welled up in Jiang Zhiyu's eyes. She leaned shakily on Mu Yinnian's shoulder, her voice hoarse: "You, you're always like this." The two sat quietly. Suddenly, Mu Yinnian heard his wife's voice beside him. "It's so good to have met you in this life." [Little chick, will we meet again in the next life?] The little chick didn't respond, and the hand that was tightly holding his suddenly lost its strength. Mu Yinnian's heart trembled slightly, but he simply hugged the old woman in his arms and leaned back. Feeling the lingering warmth of her body in his arms, he slowly closed his eyes. In the moment before losing consciousness, he vaguely heard a voice: "[... Congratulations, you have successfully rekindled your love.]" For a few seconds, Mu Yinnian's consciousness cleared. He slowly smiled. "Little Fish, did you hear that?" A gentle breeze caressed his face, as if responding on behalf of his departed lover. Mu Yinnian finally felt at ease following his lover. Little Fish, please go slowly. In the next life, I will definitely meet you sooner. How wonderful, Little Fish. In the next life, it seems I can be with you again. "Do you think we can be their child again in the next life?" Mu Yinyan looked at Buddha. "Perhaps yes, perhaps no." "But, as long as Father and Mother are reunited, our family will surely meet again." Mu Yinchuan smiled, then devoutly bowed in prayer. "In that case, I pray to Heaven that our family can be together again in our next life." "If Heaven grants my wish, I am willing to remain single for 30 years! Starting from birth." Mu Yinyan almost laughed. He also bowed in prayer. "It will, it definitely will."

    Yu Sheng blew on the porridge to cool it down before feeding it to Xiao Chuci. Xiao Chuci tried to take it herself, "Your Majesty, I can do it myself." Yu Sheng simply held the spoon gently to her lips, "Drink it. There is no Your Majesty here, only a groom who eloped with a rich girl." "What?" Xiao Chuci asked, confused. Yu Sheng smiled but remained silent, first urging Xiao Chuci to drink her porridge. Once she had finished, Yu Sheng explained, "That day, we fell into the water and were rescued by an old fisherman in this village, who brought us to Doctor Shen for treatment." "Although our clothes were simple, the fabric clearly indicated we were from a wealthy family. Given our serious injuries, it was inevitable that people would speculate, and I worried that gossip would expose our whereabouts." "So I told the villagers that you were the daughter of a wealthy man, who was bewitched and wanted to marry you to a half-dead official for good luck, and that I was the stableman who loved you. We were mutually in love, and seeing you weeping every day, unwilling to marry the official, I decided to elope with you." "We lived a secluded life in the mountains, enjoying a carefree existence, but unexpectedly, our families found us. Surprisingly, the official, though critically ill, still had the strength to hunt us down. During our escape, we fell off a cliff but were rescued by the old man." Xiao Chuci nearly choked. "I never imagined you, Jiulang, could make up such a story." "People always naturally pity those who are kind and righteous but meet a tragic end. The villagers, hearing our love story, willingly covered for us." Yu Sheng gently grasped Xiao Chuci's cold hand, his eyes filled with tenderness. "We are husband and wife; why don't we rest here?" Yu Sheng softly asked, "Madam, would you be willing to accompany me through these miserable days?" Yu Sheng's words carried a hint of ambiguity, leaving Xiao Chuci momentarily speechless. Husband and wife? A tingling pain welled up in Xiao Chuci's heart. Wasn't she chosen for the palace, thrust into the public eye, all for the sake of clearing the Xiao family's name? Wasn't she and Yu Sheng mutually exploiting each other? Were they even husband and wife? Xiao Chuci withdrew her hand, awkwardly lowering her head to drink the remaining thin porridge. Yu Sheng's hand was now empty, but he only looked at Xiao Chuci's expression, noticing she seemed somewhat forlorn. Yu Sheng was puzzled, but seeing that Xiao Chuci was unwilling to speak, he didn't continue the topic. He simply took the bowl from Xiao Chuci's hand, saying, "You've only been awake for a short time, your spleen and stomach are still weak, don't overindulge." Xiao Chuci responded in a muffled voice and continued lying on the bed. Yu Sheng was still watching her beside her, his gaze somewhat burning to her. She turned over and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep. After a while, Xiao Chuci heard Yu Sheng leave, and she opened her eyes again. Yu Sheng's eyes didn't seem calculating; perhaps his words were a genuine test. Undeniably, he treated her well, and she gradually began to crave it. But Yu Sheng was the emperor, the king. Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. When he loved her, he treated her like husband and wife; but if he disliked her, would the Xiao family have to endure another confiscation of property and exile? Xiao Chuci pressed her hand to her chest, suppressing her palpitations and unease.
