Menghe was the least favored concubine in the imperial harem. Her looks were only considered fair, and her personality was bland, which displeased the emperor. Within the harem, concubines constantly vied for power, and Menghe was the one bullied the most.
Because Menghe was hastily sent into the palace by her biological mother and father, she understood nothing. Until she was plotted against and became pregnant. The emperor's indifference and the suppression and schemes from her 'sisters' in the harem made Menghe clench her fingers.
One day, at the entrance of the imperial study, Menghe seemed startled by a man striding towards her. Stumbling, like a fluttering butterfly, she fell onto the moon platform. Menghe's voice was pitiful, as if greatly frightened. "This concubine has offended Your Highness, please forgive me."
She hurriedly got up and left, but a pink embroidered handkerchief with mandarin ducks gently fell onto the man's black boots.
A warm and sunny day. The man stood behind the rockery and asked, "What does Meng'er seek?" Menghe's face flushed, and she said softly and earnestly, "After the emperor passes away, this concubine wishes to settle in Jiangnan and live a wealthy retired life." "I grant it," he replied.
When the emperor passed away, everyone trembled, expecting the man Chu Wangshu to ascend the throne. Yet, unexpectedly, it was the least favored Menghe who became the Empress Dowager, and her son became the emperor.
However, less than a year after the young emperor ascended, rumors spread: "The Cining Palace is overflowing with misconduct." It turned out the Empress Dowager remarried the Regent. Everyone shook their heads, thinking such corruption in the inner palace was no wonder she could become Empress Dowager.
At this moment, Menghe looked panicked and heartbroken: "You are a shameless promise-breaker! My son and I don't want your empire, quickly let us go!" Chu Wangshu's brows furrowed deeply; he firmly grasped the woman's fair wrist and thrust the imperial seal in his hand into the resisting hand of the young woman. "This subject replies to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, 'Dream on'"
(Parallel universe, transmigration into historical fiction)
Jialuo transmigrated to become the first deposed empress in Qing Dynasty history, Borjigit. Historical records state that Emperor Shunzhi preferred simplicity, while Borjigit enjoyed luxury and was jealous. Furthermore, she was chosen by the regent, Dorgon, leading to discord with the emperor.
Jialuo plotted in her heart: it's fine for her to enjoy luxury, after all, her maternal family was powerful, so spending a little money was a minor matter. Jealous? Jialuo looked at the emperor, cold and distant on their wedding night, and wished she could swear on her fingertips that she had no feelings for him.
Thus, after marriage, she upheld her duties as empress, spending her days either 'recuperating' in a separate residence or 'privately visiting' the common folk, never bothering the emperor in the slightest.
Fulin ascended the throne at six and took full power at thirteen, becoming the first emperor after the Qing army entered the passes. He was deep-minded and adept at scheming. He had long been mentally prepared for the empress, Borjigit, but he disliked her. Fulin was busy with state affairs and rarely visited the harem, only having the impression of the empress as beautiful but extravagant and domineering.
Later, seeing the girl in the courtyard who laughed freely and brightly, with an open mind, he realized the empress in the separate residence was utterly different from the one in the palace. Slowly, Fulin's eyes could no longer leave her. He thought, if they could be together for a long time, holding hands for a lifetime would be acceptable.
But then he discovered his empress seemed to be waiting for him to become a monk so she could become Empress Dowager?
