"I don't care, I just want to be a princess!" Yao Jinse shook off the Empress Dowager's hand, sat on the armchair, and assumed a comfortable posture.

"I can give you a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and I can also recommend your husband to the emperor and give him all the lucrative purchasing projects in the palace." The empress dowager looked a little flustered.

"I really can't give you the status of a princess!"

Yao Jinse raised the corners of her lips and said, "Empress Dowager, do you think that money can really move me?"

"My husband, Liang Xin, is an imperial merchant and a powerful businessman in Daxia. The Liang family possesses wealth that the Jiang family could never achieve in several lifetimes. Do you think I would appreciate this little favor?"

The Empress Dowager's face flushed red: "But I really can't say that I will give you the position of princess!"

Yao Jinse stood up, looked directly into the Empress Dowager's eyes, and said coldly: "If you adopt me as your goddaughter, I will naturally be a princess. What's so difficult about that?!"

The Empress Dowager was shocked: "But...but...you are just the wife of an imperial merchant..."

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't agree, I will go to the emperor and tell him in person what happened more than 30 years ago." Yao Jinse said viciously.

The Empress Dowager's legs went limp and she slumped to the ground.

She never imagined that her daughter would be such a person.

He is insidious, cunning, and his thoughts are hard to understand. He is definitely not a good person.

Whatever, it’s my own child after all.

Even if it is not good, it is the sin that I have committed and I should pay the price for my actions.

"I promise you." The Queen Mother murmured, her face looking very ugly, filled with sadness, sorrow, and pain.

…

Imperial study.

A dark shadow flashed into the inner room.

"Your Majesty, according to our informants, Yao Jinse and the Empress Dowager have been getting along very closely these past few days. They were once alone in the Imperial Garden. I didn't hear what they said."

"But it seems that Yao Jinse told the Empress Dowager something, and the Empress Dowager reacted very strongly, as if she was deeply shocked."

"Afterwards, the two returned to Shoukang Palace and dismissed all the palace inmates. They chatted in secret for an hour. The spy only heard faint sounds of crying in the room."

Xia Zhengqi frowned and remained silent.

Could it be that Yao Jinse has confessed her identity to the Empress Dowager and the two have recognized each other?

Xia Zhengqi spent most of the day thinking hard.

I don’t know what Yao Jinse wanted to do by entering the palace.

However, before he could figure it out, he received an explosive piece of news.

The Empress Dowager suddenly issued an imperial decree, saying that Yao Jinse was quiet and dignified, beautiful and intelligent. The Empress Dowager adopted her as her goddaughter and named her Princess Jinse.

"This is simply outrageous!"

Xia Zhengqi was furious when he saw the copied version of the Empress Dowager's edict.

"Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea first to calm down." The queen said softly, handing a cup of tea to Xia Zhengqi.

[Oh my, I didn't expect this time-traveling girl to be so extraordinary. She changed the entire storyline in this life, yet she can still play it this way.]

Xia Miaoyuan was shocked after hearing the content of the imperial edict.

In the book, Daxia was first usurped by foreign relatives, and Grand Tutor Jiang usurped the throne and became emperor. He brought disaster to the country, making the people live in misery and weakening the national strength.

Under such circumstances, Liang Chaozong, with his own forces, easily captured the capital and completed the feat of restoring the country.

As for Yao Jinse, she has always been by Liang Chaozong's side, acting as his think tank and right-hand man, coming up with strategies and giving him advice.

In this life, under the influence of Xia Miaoyuan's voice, the Jiang family was greatly weakened, Daxia avoided the fate of being usurped by foreign companies, and Xia Zhengqi's throne became more and more stable.

In fact, under such circumstances, Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse faced many more obstacles on their road to restoration of their country.

Unexpectedly, the time-traveling girl Yao Jinse was able to find another way and became the empress dowager's goddaughter.

Xia Zhengqi secretly glanced at his daughter and deliberately said, "If my guess is correct, the Empress Dowager should have recognized Yao Jinse and her daughter by now."

"The spies saw the two of them chatting privately, and the Queen Mother was very emotional and crying."

With a "click", the toy in Xia Miaoyuan's hand fell to the ground.

[Ahhhhhh! Daddy actually already knew that Yao Jinse was the Empress Dowager's illegitimate daughter!]

Xia Miaoyuan was so shocked that his mouth opened exaggeratedly and he stared at Emperor Mingxi.

[Amazing! This intelligence system is incredible! It seems these secret guards weren't raised in vain!]

Xia Zhengqi turned his back and tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

I'm so sorry, my dear girl.

"Ahem!" The Queen quickly pretended to clear her throat, prompting Xia Zhengqi to control his expression.

"I also think this possibility is very high." The queen looked worried.

"Perhaps Yao Jinse used their relationship as a threat to force the Empress Dowager to issue this decree."

Xia Zhengqi nodded: "Ruoyu's analysis makes sense. The Empress Dowager is not a person who is keen on recognizing godchildren. She has adopted a goddaughter or a godson for decades, but she has never recognized a single one."

"This time, he has only known Yao Jinse for ten days, but he has already acknowledged her as his goddaughter. There must be something fishy going on."

Xia Zhengqi held his forehead and sighed, "This Yao Jinse is obviously not a simple character. She has schemed hard to get the identity of a princess. I wonder what tricks she will play next."

"I am really worried that Yao Jinse will use the Queen Mother to help Liang Chaozong restore his country."

[Ahhhhhhhh!] Xia Miaoyuan's pupils trembled again.
