After They Read My Mind, I Became the Empress's Favorite

Tang Shi looks frail and timid on the outside, and is not good with words, but inside her head there is a constant whirlwind of thoughts. After transmigrating into the body of an unfavored consort, she has no idea how to fight with the other women in the palace, so she can only slack off and watch the drama unfold alongside the System. What she doesn't know is that everyone can hear her complaints. -- The emperor and his consorts are touring the imperial gardens. Consort Shu shows off the kingfisher-feather hairpin she was given after attending the emperor last night. [Wow, Consort Shu looks completely drained. Her eyes are dark, she looks weak all over, and her wrists are red. Could it be what I think it is?] [Oh, I got excited for nothing. Consort Shu spent last night grinding ink in the little side room outside the study while attending the emperor.] Consort Shu's face turns black as a pot when her boasting is exposed. [The Empress Dowager's favorite niece tried to climb into the emperor's bed and got slashed three times by him. She was disfigured. How terrifying. He was drugged, but even in front of a beauty like that, he didn't react at all. Is the dog emperor not up to the task?] Emperor Tianheng's dark eyes deepen at the suggestion that he is incapable. With an air of indifference, he turns over Tang Shi's nameplate. -- Envoys from Beiyi arrive, making one aggressive demand after another. [The First Prince went to a brothel last night and picked the great general, who's into cross-dressing. Hahaha, so that's his type.] Everyone looks at the great general, who's broad-backed, burly, bearded, and built like an ox, and doesn't know what to say. [His younger brother picked the great general too the night before. Both brothers were so pleased when they left that they tipped him several dozen taels of silver. What if they fight over the great general and turn against each other?] The ministers' eyes light up. Great General, hurry and use the beauty trap to drive a wedge between the brothers. We can count on you to defeat Beiyi without sending a single soldier into battle. -- Later, Tang Shi realizes that people can hear all her complaints. She quickly empties her mind, thinks about nothing at all, and keeps her head down. But the ministers won't have it. The Minister of Justice: The silver in the Baizhou treasury has vanished. Your Majesty, just go and coax Her Highness. The Minister of Revenue: The national treasury is short on silver lately, and Her Highness knows the entrances to so many ancient tombs. Your Majesty, just humor Her Highness. The Minister of Works: How did we make cannons again? I only heard half of it last time. Your Majesty, please don't make Her Highness angry. The Minister of Rites: What courses did Her Highness say a technical school should offer last time? Your Majesty, Her Highness is both virtuous and talented, of noble character and exceptional intelligence. She is truly a model for the imperial harem and should be made empress. The consorts: Her Highness the Noble Consort never leaves her rooms. It's so boring. How about we tie up the emperor tonight and send him to her palace to cheer her up? Emperor Tianheng: I think you're all planning a rebellion! The ministers and consorts: Your Majesty, stop pretending. Who doesn't know that you sneak into Her Highness's palace every night in the clothes of a little eunuch? My new novel, The Days of Being a Government Official in Ancient Times, is now underway. Please add it to your collection. Chen Yunzhou transmigrated. The good news: He has become a famous genius who came first in all three imperial examinations. The bad news: The genius was convicted for his words and banished thousands of miles away. His wonderful marriage prospects have also gone up in smoke. Standing before the county office, which leaks from every side and has paint peeling off its signboard, Chen Yunzhou rubs his forehead. He has gone right back to square one. Several years later, Luyang County has become a large, renowned county. The people live and work in peace, and no one locks their doors at night. Chen Yunzhou is smoothly promoted to prefect of Qingchuan. Just then, he suddenly receives a letter: Big Brother, you've worked hard all these years. Tonight, move the constables guarding the treasury out of the way. After we pull off this big job, we'll retire for good! Chen Yunzhou: ???? #I thought I'd transmigrated into a county magistrate, but I'm actually the bandit chief? # #Everyone knows I'm an impostor except me# #Brothers, if you don't come soon, I'll get promoted again!# Theme: You should always have a dream. You never know, it might come true.
