With her only one step away from becoming empress, how could she possibly give up now?
Jiang Wuyou looked up at the magnificent palace, thinking about the extravagance and debauchery inside. His ambition burned brighter and brighter, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
She—Jiang Wuyou—is determined to become the most honored woman in the world, enjoying the patronage of everyone.
Just one step away, and no one can stop us!
"Miss, you're out..."
Jiang Wuyou snapped out of her daze and saw the maid who was greeting her. It was Granny Chang, who served her aunt. She was momentarily speechless.
She didn't want anyone to see her disheveled state, especially her aunt whom she had admired since childhood.
However, she does need her aunt's help, and it would be good if she could get some advice.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wuyou swallowed the bitterness stuck in her throat, nodded to Granny Chang, and asked.
"But has your aunt arrived?"
"Yes, Miss Wuyou, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you in the carriage."
Although Empress Jiang was deposed by the late emperor, those who served her knew that she forbade anyone to mention it and insisted that she was the late emperor's empress, and that the late emperor had been bewitched by a vile woman.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and the previous emperor has passed away, the title of Empress has naturally been upgraded to Empress Dowager.
Well, self-proclaimed status is still a form of self-promotion!
"Did my aunt...do she have any instructions?"
As Jiang Wuyou spoke, she was helped by her maid to the carriage. Her movements were graceful and her manners proper, truly befitting a daughter raised in a prominent family.
However, no matter how she asked, the maid did not give a direct answer, but only smiled ingratiatingly.
"No worries."
A solemn yet affectionate female voice interrupted Jiang Wuyou's thoughts.
Seeing this, Jiang Wuyou stopped worrying, lifted her skirt and got into the carriage, where she sat down warmly with her aunt.
"Aunt~"
"Good boy, have you seen the new emperor?"
Jiang didn't put on any airs of an elder. Her position as Empress Dowager was illegitimate, and the future of the Jiang clan depended on Wuyou.
Moreover, this child is ambitious, shrewd, and has a lot of skills; she's practically a carbon copy of herself. She always sees a reflection of herself in Wuyou.
Now, she will also do her best to support Wuyou, and that's why she came over so quickly.
As she asked, Jiang warmly took Jiang Wuyou's hand, her words full of concern.
“Aunt, I did see the new emperor, but unfortunately, he took away my token and kicked me out.”
Tell me in detail.
"It was just now..."
After a detailed discussion, the aunt and niece finally decided to target Princess Jiang, who was also Sheng Changling's mother, and take this roundabout route to achieve their goal.
Wuyou was already very popular with her, and if she worked harder, she would definitely be able to enter the palace as a concubine.
The Jiang family outside the palace acted swiftly.
Inside the palace walls, Sheng Changling inexplicably gained Liu Lingxi's favor and ushered in his own spring.
The story begins on the day Jiang Wuyou entered the palace. Sheng Changling had just sent the man away when he met Liu Lingxi's misty eyes.
The woman sobbed softly, her fair cheeks adorned with glistening tears; just one glance was enough to break one's heart.
Sheng Changling had never known that love could be so tormenting.
Just a few tears were enough to make him willingly do anything for her.
"What's wrong with Xi'er? Is it because the people serving her aren't taking good care of her, or are you worried about Yu'er? I'll have someone bring the child over right away."
