[Palace intrigue/Reincarnation/Not a clean break/Lighthearted slice-of-life/Exclusive favor from the female lead/Alternate universe]

Xia Luzhu was a lowly concubine in the harem. She had been in the palace for three years but had never seen the emperor's face. She rarely went out except for necessary greetings.

Palace intrigue? Backstabbing? Miscarriage? None of it concerned her.

Xia Luzhu's greatest hobby every day is reading storybooks, looking forward to what to eat that day, and waiting for the grand feasts during festivals! In her spare time, she also enjoys gossiping about palace intrigues.

Unexpectedly, as she ate, she discovered...

What? There are other transmigrators! And even reincarnated ones? Holy crap, I can't believe there's a third transmigrator!

Unfortunately, my cultural level is low, so I can only say "Holy crap" all over the world.

While watching the opera, Xia Luzhu played cards in his spare time. Unexpectedly, his rank rose rapidly while he was idly playing cards.

In the end, how did she become empress?!

Xia Luzhu couldn't help but wonder if she was a lucky koi in her previous life?

Later, the lazy and slacking-off empress lay on the couch reading a newly arrived storybook.

The young emperor, who had just finished approving the memorials, looked like a resentful husband. He embraced her from behind, his hot breath brushing against her ear.

"Qingqing, I beg you, please give me a crown prince."

The history of the late Ming Dynasty was chaotic and complex, and can be described as a history written by a few people with strong personal charisma.

Whether it was rebels like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, rulers like Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, or traitors like Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, each of them had many stories. It was because of these wonderful stories that the history of the late Ming Dynasty became so grand and turbulent.

To write this period of history well, we must naturally depict vivid characters, regardless of their stance. We stand on the edge of the long river of history and observe from the sidelines; they are merely a ripple in this long river.

To observe the world with a critical eye is what we need to do now, and to observe history with a critical eye is also a pursuit in our lives.

The river of history has flowed to our feet, and we can stand on its banks, ready to embrace our history.

The mighty yin and yang, the sun rises in the east; follow your fire virtue, the light of the sky; picturesque mountains and rivers, the divine capital Luoyang; Chang'an was first built, the Daming Palace; long live the sky, where is the dragon; the high sky is not false; Your Highness Hanyuan, the sun rises in all nations; the glory of the world all belongs to the Tang Dynasty; the white horse passes by, the endless impermanence; sigh Anshi, disturbing my hometown; the world's unique country, the peak decline; just for this heart, change the primeval world; I wish the sun will never set on my Central Plains.

Thousands of years ago, the fantasy set sail; where is it, Yingzhou Fusang; birds can't repay, Nara is prosperous; the holy virtues and teachings, the great changes fly; the Kyoto fire, the blue lotus blooms; if it's for love, the sky can't hinder it; Fujiwara Kyo was destroyed, and peace was also glorious; this country is the hometown of the gods; Kaguya Bamboo Cutter, shining in all directions; Prince Chachi, his heart is towards the sky; the imperial seal, a dream; on the moon, eternity is forever; gains and losses are determined by fate, on the other side of the water.

The great cause of crossing the East is far away and the mountains are long; it is comparable to the journey to the West, the Buddha's light is righteous; the magnificent Jianzhen is the backbone of the Tianping; the century-long plan, the thousand-year imagination; the quiet moon sea, the peace is hard to be auspicious; on Mount Yoshino, the cherry

blossoms are blooming; the fantasy land appears in the East. There was Shang Yang in the world, and Cheng Tang continued; the black bird of heaven descended and gave birth to Shang; the sky had Han, and Jian also had light; the dark water was surging, and the destiny was vast; those who are not happy now, the dead will die.

PS: Your Ning Chu is back.

Originally a small clerk, I stumbled upon an immortal transcending a tribulation, and was dragged back to the Warring States Period. To survive, I resorted to modern technology, experiencing major historical events. It's impossible to revisit the original history, but to adhere to the records in the history books, I deliberately concealed many things. A chance encounter with a secret manual gradually transformed me into a cultivator. Over the course of millennia, I encountered beauties of all kinds, but without a breakthrough in my cultivation, I vanished into the dust of history...

#Palace intrigue is impossible, just watching the drama unfold and having kids#

Cui Xuejian transmigrated and became a little Baolin.

Several towering mountains stand overhead, while a few kittens stretch out their paws at your feet.

Given this situation, what's the point of palace intrigue? Let's just give up and do nothing!

Cui Xuejian believed that as long as she hid quickly, no demons or monsters could find her!

Ha, he might not be good at palace intrigue, but he's a master at health preservation!

As long as you live long enough, you'll have everything!

Um, but what's wrong with this emperor? Don't come looking for me! I'm never having children again!!!

[Transmigrated into a minor palace concubine, the system lets me watch dramas while I gossip]

Let's expose the true nature of Emperor Qin Mouchen, who loved to eavesdrop.

P.S.: My new book, "I'm in Palace Intrigue, You're Just Watching the Show?", has been released. Welcome to support it! ◝(⁰▿⁰)◜

The story takes place in the fictional Chinese kingdom of Caiyun. According to legend, a young man, aided by the power of the Eight Immortals, founded Caiyun. Consequently, Caiyun's territory was divided into eight provinces: Hongzhou, Huangzhou, Bizhou, Lanzhou, Zizhou, Heizhou, Baizhou, and Chazhou. Approximately 600 years ago, the king of the time ordered the nobles of each province to adopt one of these eight colors as their surnames (for example, the Marquis of Lanzhou became Lan, the Marquis of Hongzhou became Hong, and so on). Commoners were prohibited from sharing surnames with these eight marquises. Consequently, those bearing these eight colors were considered the most aristocratic of the nobles. Furthermore, because the Marquis of Zizhou, where the capital was located, also served as king, the Zi family became the royal family's surname. Despite being born into the prestigious Hong family, Hong Xiuli lived in poverty. She had to work extensively to support her family. Having experienced the turmoil of the throne struggle as a child, she deeply understood the suffering of the people. From a young age, she diligently studied, hoping to pass the imperial examination, become an official, assist the king, and build a prosperous and peaceful nation. However, as a woman, she cannot take the imperial examination. One day, Xiu Li accepts a high-paying commission from Grand Tutor Xiao and enters the harem as a noble concubine to teach and assist the incompetent emperor. This opportunity leads Xiu Li to a career as an official, and she encounters a variety of people.
