* Palace intrigue and political scheming
The Xia family patriarch spent his entire life as a minor official, coasting along in the bureaucracy for decades.
Only thanks to the emperor's favor toward old officials did he finally reach the threshold of a fifth-rank post.
He had a daughter named Qingyuan.
Beautiful as a peach blossom in spring, pure as a chrysanthemum in autumn.
The old man Xia feared that his daughter's humble family background would leave her mistreated if she married into a powerful household.
Day and night, he hoped to retire and return to his hometown, where he could find an honorable scholar for her to marry.
But people make plans, and fate laughs.
The new emperor began selecting consorts, and the daughters of all officials ranked fifth or higher in the capital were eligible.
With her father's good fortune, Xia Qingyuan's name ended up on the roster of candidates.
Her father was worried sick! The imperial household was merciless!
His daughter was as exquisite as a jade figurine.
How could she survive in such a filthy place?
As he fretted...
The Xia family climbed, step by step, to the very foot of the imperial city.
He had spent his whole life making no impression in the bureaucracy. In the end, he became the empress's own father and the head of the most prestigious clan in the empire!
Theme: Strive to claim a better life for yourself!
It felt like it ended a little suddenly. . .
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, but this is not what Qingyuan wants.
I have no idea, I started to use the update date to guess when it will be updated 😳 The male protagonist is very rational and suddenly can't control himself.. Although I kind of forget why he suddenly likes the female protagonist, I have to review it, but it is also common to like the new and dislike the old... Em indeed. I'm a little curious about what he thinks of the queen. I thought the queen was very rational when she appeared, but she suddenly started to flirt with children. How could this happen 🤦 Although it is very reasonable. But now he started to be suspicious of the heroine again. Suddenly, I felt that he was panicking at a slow and steady pace. It reminded me that to be honest, although I am a girl, I am relatively indifferent and don't like children very much. But suddenly I saw a person who is anti-ordinary men (that is, generally speaking, I don't even care about the grade of the child), so I was a little confused about the male protagonist's anger. I thought he would think that having another child would be enough. Children are consumables, after all, royal tradition. Don't mind if you say something here or there. However, all logic makes sense. One is that human nature is indeed complex and intertwined, with no absolutes. I'm wondering how long I want to write it. Compared with the previous one, it should be in the middle now. Looking forward to it. I like the character design of this article and the rational sense of confrontation. Although people yearn for happy ending, confrontation has always been a reality. I still prefer this feeling. I am still speculating that the prince is not dead. If the female protagonist cooperates well in the later stage, the male protagonist is willing to support her and make her the stepmother of the prince. No matter how smart her own son is, he can only become a prince and support the prince to become the emperor. But here you will be curious about the male protagonist's attitude towards the prince, because 1 he doesn't have that much affection for the queen and 2 the political party does not need checks and balances, so why on earth, and the prince's nature is not OK, although a child should not ask for too much. I feel that the main thing the male protagonist has about the female protagonist's family is his distrust. Even if the teacher outside says that they are OK, he still doesn't believe it. It's better to delegate power to their family little by little. If they do something wrong, just give them a beating. It might be better... I don't know, hahaha, don't mind if I'm wrong.
It ended suddenly. I feel like there are still many places to expand. People in this book are very tired of living. The rhythm is too tight and there is no time to relax, so I am very tired of watching it. It might as well end like this.
Sixia😭 burst into tears all of a sudden
The wind is gentle and the clouds are light, and the clouds are soft and happy, right?
I can't bear to part with you, but I'll see you next time
Your Majesty, Shen Jingbing, if you raise voodoos in the harem and front court, you are not afraid of raising voodoo kings to backfire on you.
Waiting for the next chapter
Pretending to be crazy and acting stupid is indeed a clever plan for the cold palace
