My name is Li Sigu, I am 19 years old and I am the empress of this country.
If you want to talk about how I succeeded to the throne, it is really because I was reincarnated well. My father wanted me to inherit the throne.
My father was a man of long-term love. My mother was the only one in his harem. After my mother died, he did not take any more concubines. I'm over 40 years old, and I have only one daughter.
I am his only child, and since I am good-looking, he will bring me out to show my respect, so he will just pamper me.
When he learned that he only had a few years to live, he decreed that I should be the crown princess, but those old stubborns refused to agree. But, who gave my father the power? The kneecaps of three generations of elders were almost turned into powder, but they still did not change my father's mind.
It stands to reason that the throne should be chosen by one of the descendants of the collateral line to inherit the throne. However, the competition for the throne among my father, my grandfather, and my grandfather was so fierce that there was no one else in the collateral line except an old lady in her sixties.
Under this premise (I think they mainly suffered from knee bone pain), the ministers had no choice but to agree, and I naturally became the empress of Dayong, which is unprecedented.
I heard from others that in the past few years, I have been adhering to the concept of "life is short, enjoy yourself while you can", and I have spent all my time living and drinking.
As for why I heard others say it... It's probably because I have lost my memory.
Well, that's right, I only remember the memories before I was fourteen years old.
I heard from Fuxi, the chief eunuch left behind by my father, that after my father died, the ministers looked at me all the time and scolded me. Fortunately, Shen Yu was still here, so I could go about my life blatantly. ——Excerpt from "Diary of the Empress", edited by Zhang Yu
