In the Southern Dynasty, at the Weiyang Palace!

The gorgeous golden palace, the glazed tile, the pearl red lacquer, and the carved pillars. The palace was tall and majestic, gorgeous and dignified.

Suddenly, a chilly scream came from the originally peaceful palace: “Ah! Help! Empress Dowager, please spare my life!”

The imperial guards at the door heard this and shivered in their hearts. However, they were stunned and did not move at all. They just stood guard at their original positions like a block of wood until a man wearing bright golden clothes hurriedly rushed in. Everyone then kneeled and bowed: “Greetings to the emperor!”

The emperor didn’t even look at them, and hurriedly ran into the palace. Soon after, a howl could be heard, followed by a very loud slap.

“Pa!” (ED: Sound of a slap)

“Your highness!”

The Weiyang Palace’s inner palace servants kneeled all over the palace.

The tall and handsome emperor embraced a pitiful woman (Court lady Li), and coldly stared at the woman that he had slapped to the ground. Her gorgeous palace gown laid on the ground. That person did not move since she fell to the ground.

The furious emperor thought that she was pretending, and the disdain in his eyes increased: “Leng Jiu! Doing this will only make me hate you more! I advise you to restrain yourself, otherwise I will no longer be merciful to you!”

“Your Majesty…” The woman (Concubine Li) who was in his arms was so afraid that she pulled on the corner of his robes. She looked like a frightened baby deer, immediately causing the emperor feel incomparably distressed. He coldly swept his eyes at that person on the ground and left with the women in his embrace!

“Empress Dowager”

“Niang Niang!”

As soon as the emperor left, the old eunuch who was kneeling at the side quickly rushed over. He kneeled and helped the woman on the ground to get up. Only then did he see a pool of blood on the ground, and a side of her face was already smeared with blood. His originally pale face instantly became paler: “Someone! Call the imperial doctor. Quickly call the Imperial doctor!”

Immediately, someone quickly dashed out. The old eunuch, looked at the unconscious Empress Dowager, and his heart kept thumping. He shakily reached out his hands to test for her breath at her nose. In an instant, his whole body stiffened, he could not believe it as he looked at the person in his embrace. He muttered: “The Empress Dowager…has died…”

“What?” A group of panicking maids turned around in fright. They saw that he was not pretending and they immediately kneeled down in panic. The sound of crying and mourning rang out from the palace!

Leng Jiu finally regained a bit of consciousness and heard this ghostly wailing and wolf-like howling sound. She sneered in her heart, could it be that she really arrived at Yanwang’s court? (ED: Yanwang’s court is where the dead go to be judged according to some Chinese beliefs.) However, the pain at her forehead and her cheek told her very clearly that she was still alive. She opened her eyes, and unhappily roared: “Cry for what? I still haven’t died yet?”

This angry roar made the palace silent immediately. Looking at the Empress Dowager that has woken up, everyone immediately broke into smiles. They were so excited that they used both their hands and legs to crawl over and said, “That’s great! The Empress Dowager is fine!”

“Sobs! Niang Niang is fine!”

Empress Dowager? Niang Niang? Also these clothes on her body. Leng Jiu’s eyes twitched, is this a palace themed costume ball?

She wanted to ask, but suddenly a face as pale as a ghost appeared 1 foot in front of her. A pale white face, with scarlet lips, and two tear marks on his face. The smell of his thick powder instantly entered her nostrils: “Empress Dowager!”

When those scarlet lips opened, Leng Jiu suddenly felt dizzy, and then she elegantly fainted. She did not know if it was because she was too disgusted or because of excessive blood loss!

On an extraordinarily large bed, Leng Jiu was still pale as she laid in bed. Her eyes sharply swept over the rows of palace maids and eunuchs in front of the bed.

“Do you know who I am?”

“The Empress Dowager!”

“Where is this place?”

“Weiyang Palace!”

“Which dynasty?”

“Feng Yu Dynasty!”

Feng Yu Dynasty? Leng Jiu almost bit her tongue. Although she did not study history, but it seems that there was no such dynasty in history?

She clearly remembered that she was plotted against on a cruise ship. The entire ship exploded, her whole body was destroyed and buried in the ocean.

This means that she had indeed died. At the moment, she has transmigrated. When the phoenix eyes are raised, unlimited style and passion. She has always been someone who is only at ease when she calls the shots. Since she was reborn here, then she will live out her own paradise here!

There are hundreds of flowers garden behind Weiyang Palace. It is filled with countless precious flowers and plants, and there are experts to cultivate them. All the year round, hundreds of flowers bloom together. Their beauty is incomparable. Leng Jiu liked this place the moment she saw it.

From that moment, a luxurious noble concubine chair was placed in the originally empty courtyard in the garden. A bright red figure leaned on it and one of her hands supported her head as she slept. She has a face that is gentle like a moon flower, and enchanting like a rose. Her skin is white and rosy, and her facial features are exquisite and elegant. However, her slanted phoenix eyes and red lips that seem like they are smiling, cause her to have an additional bewitching aura!

Her hair is like high grade satin, freely hanging down till it reaches the ground. She only wore a red muslin gown that was so thin that it appeared to be translucent. Her beautiful and graceful curves were outlined. As the wind blows gently, the muslin gown sways, concealing and showing her skin. A face both seductive and pure, seducing and capturing one’s soul, shooting cupid’s arrows into people’s hearts!

The palace ladies at the side secretly looked at the people on the noble concubine chair. They couldn’t help but marvel in their hearts. In reality, the Empress Dowager could be so beautiful!

Lu Gonggong (Eunuch Lu) came and saw that the person in the noble concubine chair was pleased. He always knew that his Empress Dowager was the most beautiful, only the emperor didn’t know how to appreciate it. If the emperor sees this appearance of the Empress Dowager, humph. Won’t his intestines also be full of remorse?

With one sweeping motion, he took a blanket to cover her. He whispered, “Empress Dowager! Concubine Li has come to see you!”

Leng Jiu slowly open her eyes, under her long eyelashes are glass-like pupils that are incomparably clear. In that moment, her eyes seemed to have a flash of light, making people afraid to look straight into her eyes; seeing Lu Gonggong’s face in front of her, her eyes could not help, but twitched: “Didn’t I said that you should be three feet away the next time you speak to me?”

Lu Gonggong’s old face that was covered with thick powder showed a sense of grievance, but he still retreated three feet: “Can the Empress Dowager see Concubine Li?”

Leng Jiu rested her head on the pillow and gave him a blank stare: “Concubine Li? Who is she?”

“Empress Dowager, that day you lost your memory. You were about to punish a woman, but she was later saved by the emperor. The emperor also gave you a slap, causing you to have lost your memory!” as he said it, Lu Gonggong became angry, as if he was the one who was slapped.

Leng Jiu hooked her lips and said: “As a matter of fact, I should indeed see her.”

“Then, this servant will bring her in and let the Empress Dowager deal with her however she wants!”

Leng Jiu raised her hand and touch her forehead. She moved away the hair covering her forehead, and a hideous wound was revealed. Although the imperial doctor said that when the wound has peeled off, it would not leave a scar. However, it has yet to peel off. It was hideous to look at. This face has been ruined by this wound; since she was reborn until now, she is most satisfied with this face, but unfortunately there is a small blemish. The more she sees it, the more upset she is!

Hearing the sound behind her, she shifted her hair back.

“This concubine greets the Empress Dowager!”

Leng Jiu lazily leaned on her chair: “Come in front of me!”

After a pause, a 17 to 18 years old girl walked over and kneeled respectfully in front of her.

Leng Jiu examined her from the top to the bottom and clicked her tongue twice. She asked, “You are the emperor’s most beloved woman?”

 

Zhen: ‘I, the emperor’. It is used by Emperors to address themselves.

Ai Jia: ‘I’ used by Empress Dowager. It is the same as the Emperor saying ‘Zhen’ instead.

Leng Jinghua: The name of Leng Jiu’s current body.

Long Yi: Emperor

Gonggong: Eunuch

Chen Qie: ‘I’ or ‘This concubine’, it’s an honorific form of addressing themselves used by concubines. )

It looks like there is nothing special? There is not much difference compared to normal women. She can be said to be pretty, but her figure can only be considered as average. This kind of woman is also worthy for the emperor to beat her predecessor to death?

It is worth mentioning that before this body’s owner entered the inner palace, she and the current emperor were a pair of childhood sweethearts. Their childhood love was about to come to fruition and Leng Jiu had just reached the age to ask the matchmaker to arrange for marriage with him. When suddenly, an imperial decree from the late emperor that just won’t die caused her to enter the palace. One year later, she was crowned as the Empress. After which, her position ascended to the top.

The new Emperor hated her because of love, yet she tried hard in order to regain something back. Not only did she live in Weiyang Palace where the empress was supposed to live, but she also continuously killed the concubines that the Emperor bestowed favour on. At the beginning, the emperor could still tolerate it. However, she went overboard. Now, she has obviously has reached his limit. Thus, for the sake of an insignificant concubine, he had beat her to death!

When the palace maids and eunuchs talked about it, they all seem to be angry at the injustice done to her. They were even afraid that she would be angry, and comforted her. She actually wanted to say ‘What does these things got to do with her?’ She is herself and her predecessor is her predecessor. She does not want to care about this. However, it is another matter if others come to find her, because she was so bored these few days!

“Chen qie do not dare to be his beloved woman. It was the emperor who loved the wrong person!” Li Wei smiled softly. She slightly tilt her head up and glanced at the Empress Dowager in front of her. In an instant, her eyes widened, then she quickly lowed her head. Only she knows what she thought in her heart.

“If so, what have you come here to do?”
Leng Jiu’s lovely looking eyes had a flash of coldness, but a smile hung on her face. No matter how one saw it, they could only feel a sense of danger.

Concubine Li who was watched by her, suddenly felt that her back chilled. She tried her best to suppress that feeling and said,

“Chen qie came to plead guilty. That day, Chen qie rushed in and knocked into Empress Dowager, but caused the Empress Dowager and Emperor to be at odds and even caused Empress Dowager to be injured. Chen qie has sinned. Chen qie ask for the Empress Dowager to give her punishment!”

After speaking, her entire body fell prostrated to the ground. Her shoulders were shivering, as if she really felt that her sin was severe.

Leng Jiu wanted to open her mouth to speak, when suddenly a smell quickly rushed in. She simply did not speak. She curved her lips and waited for the start of a good show!

“Leng Jinghua! What are you doing again?” A shout exposing her rang out. In the next moment, a bright golden figure rushed in and helped the person on the ground to get up. He looked at her carefully: “Were you harmed?”

Concubine Li looked at him softly, she smiled and shook her head: “Why did the emperor come here…?”

Long Yi’s expression immediately chilled: “If Zhen came later, something would have happened!”

After he spoke finish, he looked at Leng Jiu. When he saw her appearance clearly and that her eyes flashed with some kind of emotion, his expression immediately turned ugly: “What are you wearing? How is it appropriate and fit as the Empress Dowager?”

Lu Gonggong walked over and stood in front of Leng Jiu. With the posture of a guardian, he said: “Before the Emperor teaches the Empress Dowager, please think about your identity first. The Empress Dowager can be said to be the Emperor’s mother in name. You not only shouted her name, but also did not have any respect or modesty towards her. This old slave will ask the various ministers in court tomorrow if this is the ‘filial piety’ in my dynasty.”

Long Yi’s eyes became cloudy because of Lu Gonggong’s words, and he ruthlessly glared at him: “Her? Is she worthy?”

Lu Gonggong was about to open his mouth to refute, but Leng Jiu’s voice faintly resounded: “Eunuch Lu! Step down!”

Lu Gonggong retreated two steps and stood at the side: “Yes!”

Leng Jiu looked at the Long Yi. Based on his appearance, Long Yi is indeed considered handsome. Coupled with the power and nobility of a king, he indeed has the capability to mesmerize women. However, what kind of beautiful men has she not met before?

His appearance has absolutely no allure to her! Her gaze swept over and rested on Concubine Li, who was in his arms. Her delicate and petite face had an innocent and delicate expression. Her appearance was like a small bird relying on people. (Cute and helpless looking) She did have the basics to make men pamper her. If not, she would really have nothing. It is a pity that her eyes shone with a sense of smugness that did not escape Leng Jiu’s sharp eyes. However, she is a woman that only works on schemes and she hates this type of woman the most!

Feeling the sharpness and ill-intent in the Leng Jiu’s eyes, disgust immediately rose in Long Yi’s heart.

“Zhen warns you! She is already pregnant with my child. You’d better behave, otherwise I do not mind making the Empress Dowager move to the cold Palace!”

Concubine Li softly tugged at the corner of Long Yi’s clothes, her voice was as if she was about to cry: “Emperor! The Empress Dowager did not……”

Long Yi patted her head to comfort her: “It’s alright! With Zhen as your master, no one can touch you!”

Leng Jiu sneered in her heart, and impatiently raised her eyebrow: “Have you finished speaking? If you have finished speaking, now it is my turn to speak!”

Leng Jiu stood up from the concubine seat. Her smooth, jade-like feet stepped on the carpeted floor. She proudly stared at Long Yi: “I do not want to speak too much to you. I will only tell you three points.

Firstly, I don’t like to see people flirt in front of me. Who you want to dote on is your business. Who you want to have children with you is also your business. You do not need to tell me, and I also do not want to know!

Secondly, I do not welcome anyone in this Weiyang Palace. From today onwards, without my permission, no one is allowed to enter!”

Lastly, don’t think too highly about yourself. The former Leng Jinghua loved you, but now to me, you are less than a scum. If you don’t want me to be involved, then get away from me. The further, the better!”

Long Yi look at Leng Jiu in disbelief, then laughed sarcastically. In his opinion, Leng Jiu was only playing a catch and release kind of trick: “Leng Jinghua! Do you think that Zhen will fall for your tricks? The same trick being used so many times, don’t you feel that you are so lowly?”

“Pa!” (Slap Sound)

An incredibly clear sounding slap resounded. Everyone instantly became frozen like a statue and fearfully looked at Long Yi’s face that was turned to one side. On his face was her palm print that was very clear.

Leng Jiu patted her hand and raised her eyebrows with a smile: “Emperor! Now, do you still think that Ai jia was just playing? This slap is returned to you. From today onwards, we don’t owe each other anymore!”

After she said it, she turned around and left. When the palace maids recovered from their shock and they immediately lay out a carpet on the road to let Leng Jiu walk on it back to the palace!

“Emperor! Are you okay?” Concubine Li was also a little surprised. Leng Jiu walked far away before she recovered from her shock. She looked at Long Yi’s face with distress.

Long Yi’s handsome face was covered with dark clouds. His forehead’s veins could be seen, and his fists was gripped so hard that they were creaking: That woman actually dared to hit him?
