My name is Zhou Zian.
He was the tenth emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty.
Because my grandfather Zhou Jin and father Zhou Changling were diligent in governing the country and loved the people, and punished corrupt officials, they left me a peaceful and prosperous nation, so I did not have to exert much effort in governing the country.
I ascended the throne at the age of fourteen and took control of the imperial seal at the age of sixteen.
Since ascending the throne, the country has been strong and prosperous, the people are happy and content, and the will of Heaven has been in harmony. Together with his father, he has created the first golden age.
It is worth mentioning that although my harem is sparsely populated, I have a large number of offspring, which is much better than my father's, who had only one son, me.
My empress was chosen by me, the imperial concubine was married to appease the general, and there are three other concubines, all of whom are of pure heart.
Of course, by then my father, mother, and father had already gone on a journey across the land.
Speaking of this, I was quite ignorant when I was a child, but I was also exceptionally intelligent. I could already call "Mother" when I was eight months old, and the second time I called out was "Father".
However, after I called him "father" at Luanxi Pavilion, my father stopped me from calling him "father" and only allowed me to call him "father emperor".
For this reason, I even made a scene at Ganling Palace, disturbing my mother who was resting in Luanxi Pavilion.
Later, that was the only time I saw the two "fathers" standing together, their expressions tense, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.
It was then that I learned that the two "fathers" did not have a harmonious relationship, and that they could only coexist for the sake of my mother.
Later, after I went to school and participated in ancestral worship ceremonies, I learned that my imperial grandfather was named Zhou Jin. But who was my father?
As a child, I was troubled by this for a long time. It was my father who saw through my worries. After I asked him, he remained silent for a long time.
He looked at me for a long time with complicated eyes, and after a moment of silence, he still chose to tell me the whole truth, some of which were truths that even my mother did not know.
I was at a loss for a long time, but seeing that my elders loved me dearly and each of them had given their hearts, I decided to stop interfering.
Let my parents worry about their own affairs; I just need to be a good boy!
My mother is a very gentle person, and sometimes a little naive. Time has left almost no trace on her face, and she has been well protected by her two fathers.
The two fathers were handsome, but unlike their mother, they were both a little older and more mature and steady.
However, the Emperor may have felt resentful because he spent too little time with the Empress Dowager, so he put the young me on the throne.
I was only fourteen years old at the time, and had not yet undergone the coming-of-age ceremony!
This is absolutely outrageous!
The night the Empress Dowager left the palace, she held my hand, her eyes full of reluctance, but the next day, she happily left with her little bundle in hand.
The world is going to the dogs!
I have always worked very hard in the previous dynasty and dared not slack off in the slightest. My father and father entrusted me with the leadership of their secret guards so that I could cultivate my own power.
I receive letters from outside the palace almost every month, informing me of their visits to Penglai today and Xizhou tomorrow, what they did, and praising me for governing the country so well.
Of course, the reason I went to such great lengths to arrange national security was to ensure that they would have a safe journey without bandits or tyrants, so that I could feel at ease.
After traveling on and off, the Empress Dowager and her entourage finally said one day that they could no longer travel and returned to the capital, but instead of staying in the palace, they lived in a temporary palace.
I personally saw them off at their deathbeds. Strangely enough, not long after my mother passed away, my father and father also passed away, as if they were rushing to take care of my mother on their way to the underworld.
I buried all three of them together in the imperial mausoleum. Of course, my father's tomb is empty; I buried all three of them in the rear mausoleum, which was something I had promised long ago.
I placed the coffins of my father and father on either side of my mother's coffin, like guardian deities; I'm sure they were satisfied with that.
By then, I had already grown old and my children were full of ambitions. Even those born of the same mother were not willing to give way to each other, and the empress and concubines began to fight amongst themselves.
My only sanctuary—my mother—is gone too.
I, at the age of forty, have become a child without a mother.
Later, I chose my third son, who was brave and resourceful, and vengeful, but he did not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
It seems that the destiny of Heaven is also on him. After he ascended the throne, the country prospered and there were no major disasters. I am relieved.
As for the Empress's fourth son, I have never named him Crown Prince. This child is sometimes too lenient and weak-willed, which is not a good thing.
The Empress harbored resentment as a result, and she became estranged from me, maintaining a superficial relationship with me.
As for the rest, I won't concern myself with them. I have done my best to protect all the imperial heirs. If they continue to court death, then let them jump off their own graves.
After the abdication, I also moved into that palace. There were traces of where my mother and two fathers had lived, travel journals, a newly built swing, and my mother's little notes secretly complaining about my two fathers...
These are the spiritual supports that will accompany me through the rest of my life. I have already told my third son that I will take them to the imperial mausoleum.
I'm so tired, I'm going to go find my father, mother, and father to be pampered...
...
"Ding! Congratulations to Comrade Number Eighteen for completing the mission and passing the assessment—"
When Ling Tu Xi Xi opened her eyes, her memories returned.
With innocent and beautiful peach blossom eyes, skin as smooth as cream and as white as jade, a delicate nose, and rosy lips, she stretched out her fair little hand and carefully examined herself.
"!"
"I've transformed into human form?"
Little Seven, a tiny ball of light, floated around her, her voice trying to sound serious: "Yes, congratulations, Spirit Rabbit Xixi!"
"Brother Xiaoqi, why didn't we see you come out during the second half of the mission?!"
Ling Tu Xi Xi recognized the voice; it was her examiner, System Xiao Qi.
"Ahem!" System Xiaoqi dared not admit that she was afraid of the big boss, so she didn't dare to come out and wander around, for fear of being caught red-handed and suffering the consequences.
"Ling Tu Xi Xi, you have officially transformed into human form. Now, the Quick Transmigration Bureau is sending you an offer. Please check it."
The system didn't answer the question but skipped it, instead gently guiding the conversation: "You're a rabbit with no income right now. You'll have nowhere to eat or sleep in the future."
"If you sign this contract, you will receive a corresponding reward for each task you complete, ranging from a few thousand points to hundreds of millions."
"Exchanging it for human currency, 1 point = 10 RMB, will allow you to survive better in human society. Of course, as a benefit, the Quick Transmigration Bureau will also provide you with real estate."
What Xiaoqi didn't say was that this was a benefit that the big boss had specially secured for her, and there were even more surprises to come. If she wasn't afraid that Tutu would suspect something, she would have given it to her right now.
"But I want to see Xuanyuan Lang, I want to see my zookeeper, and ask him before I sign."
After experiencing the small world, Bai Lingxi, for some reason, missed her emotional support terribly, and felt listless and unable to muster any energy.
