System requirement: Make the emperor die of anger!
Song Heqing expects the difficulty to be extremely high, but it turns out her target is a foolish, thin-skinned old emperor.
One impassioned speech later, the foolish emperor dies on the spot.
Next mission!
Song Heqing turns around with a flourish, closes her eyes, then opens them to find herself back in this world. Her new target is the newly enthroned emperor.
The new emperor had already earned a reputation for virtue as crown prince: a humble gentleman, gentle as jade. Song Heqing provokes him in every way she can, but he always takes it in stride and smiles.
He even specially commends her for speaking frankly and daring to remonstrate: "People use bronze mirrors to straighten their clothes. I have Heqing to show me my faults."
Song Heqing: "..."
With her own efforts, she successfully saves the State of Yan from the brink of collapse. The new emperor's achievements are outstanding, so Song Heqing has to nitpick.
Song Heqing: "Your Majesty's harem is empty, and you have no children. There will surely be trouble a century from now!"
"That Song Heqing is really trouble."
The new emperor presses the jade seal hard onto the decree appointing her empress, unable to keep the corners of his mouth from turning up.
If he hadn't admired her since his days as crown prince, how could he have held back for so long?
#I want to anger you to death, but you want to make me empress? #
