Zhu Lingyi realized that something was off about her role as the beloved concubine's daughter.
The so-called age gap between her parents was unusual: her mother was older than her father, and the favored concubine was none other than Consort Wan.
Only then did she realize she had transmigrated to the Chenghua era of the Ming dynasty, a time of internal and external crises, with the Mongols, Jurchen, and Annam all invading, and floods, droughts, and locust plagues striking one after another.
As for her, she had fallen into the hands of a grandmother who disliked Consort Wan and was determined to produce a great-grandson. It seemed she wasn't destined for an easy life!
Fortunately, the part about being the beloved concubine's daughter was true, and her parents' love for her could withstand any test.
Zhu Lingyi: Then I won't hold back!
Yesterday she asked for money, today she asks for people, and tomorrow she'll ask for a fief...
With her starting funds and golden finger in hand, Zhu Lingyi traveled from the Hetao region to Liaodong, then headed southwest. She reclaimed farmland, set up workshops, and made weapons. While working hard to boost productivity, she also happened to acquire a little power.
According to the historical records: The eldest daughter of Emperor Xianzong was no ordinary person. In her youth, she was fond of martial pursuits, striking north against the Tatars and campaigning south against Annam. She secured the borders, expanded the realm, and won unparalleled honors.
As she grew older, she crossed the Eastern Sea with a fleet and brought back superior crops from Yizhou. Granaries gradually filled, and the people were spared the scourge of famine.
The emperor declared it Heaven's will, made her Crown Princess, and she ascended the throne.
Reader's Guide:
1. The story progresses slowly at first. It's a long novel that will follow the protagonist through her ascension to the throne.
2. The author has done their best to check the historical details. Please point out any mistakes. If something is still wrong, it's down to the author's limitations.
3. There is a male lead, but not until later. (She's still a child!)
Theme: Strive tirelessly and cherish your youth.
Why don't you just give it to Queen Qian? Anyway, your mother still has a son [Sunglasses]
If you don't want to be inferior to others, then bury the Empress Dowager Zhou in the grave of her father-in-law Xuanzong

I have so much to worry about at such a young age🤔
