Long afterward, when Empress Jiang stands in the Golden Hall, surrounded by armored soldiers and facing axes and halberds, she will remember Jiangnan in early spring, the stone alley washed in moonlight, and the handsome young man who smiled as he called to her through the window: "Luqing!"
Back then, she had entered the vermilion walls of the deep palace in fear and trembling.
Everyone in the palace knew:
His Majesty doted on his new empress. He had made an exception to raise her from a humble street painter in Jiangnan to empress, and his favor for her had only grown stronger.
His Majesty also kept faith with his former love. Since the late empress's death, the Jiaofang Palace had remained sealed. On the desk lay a lament for the dead, every word written in blood: "The same arched brows, but the waning moon is not as lovely as the waxing moon."
In the Golden Hall, weapons stood in rows and sharp blades were drawn. Empress Jiang faced the sword's edge.
She said, "His Majesty has entrusted this empire and its people to me. The imperial seal is here. How dare you, you vermin?!"

They are all moths. Fortunately, there are still people with conscience.
Will the old slicker sneak away again and rake the trouble eastward to Lu Qing?
I suspect that Mi Duoduo's crown is for the eldest princess. Believe it or not, I will sue you to my factory supervisor and he will make dumplings for you in no time [angry] I suspect that Mi Duoduo slapped the king and wore a fancy dress to seduce Xiao Jiang. Believe it or not, my second jade will flatten your little country in a matter of minutes [angry] Eryu: I'm happy to see my wife; there are insects around my wife, they're chirping
Xiao Jiang, who found that there was no one else working but himself, coaxed himself to drink some sweet water, don't be cute! 🐰🐰🐰 The name Midoro sounds like a delicious fruit-flavored snack (bushi). The beautiful big red fluttering moth is really suitable for dancing for Juan Juan. I really want to see the red robe reflected in Juan Juan's beautiful blue eyes (although there is a high probability that Juan Juan only sees the eldest princess mommy hehe)
Woo woo woo, the folk girl would like to have meat and vegetables paired with dessert, fruit milk tea and spicy strips in exchange for the opportunity to have a pajama party with Wen'an Xiaojiangjuan. Thank you [cat head] [cat head] [cat head]
Eryu: I don't want my wife to suffer, but I hope my wife can get better. (Bushi) General Shen: Shaoyang, are you too drunk? General Gu: Ha... Haha...
Woooooooooooooooo scared me to death. Fortunately, I bumped into Xiao Tianjiang. Woooooooo, Lao Luotou appeared like an old general on the stage, wearing a flag, big brother. I hope that the whole family will be reunited and in good health, and that the family will be harmonious and have plenty of food for the rest of the year. Chunlang, who went to the battlefield, returned home gloriously and married the little girl who was waiting for him back home.
Here we go, I kind of forgot about the previous plot 🐶
When will the next update be? [Let me be healthy]
