Chapter 139: The widowed little queen mother in the harem novel (1)
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother, please wait! The Emperor is relaxing in the Imperial Garden and has ordered his servants to guard it. No one is allowed to approach."
Although the young eunuch was polite in his words, the contempt that flashed across his eyes was very obvious.
Three days after arriving in this world, Gu Zhen once again realized how embarrassing her position as the "Empress Dowager" was in the palace.
The empress was personally selected by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory from the people for a wedding, but on the wedding day, she killed the old emperor.
The happy event turned into a funeral. When the new emperor ascended the throne, the first imperial decree was to have the Imperial Observatory buried with the late emperor!
All the concubines left behind by the previous emperor were sent to the temporary palace, leaving only the empress dowager in the palace to become a tool for the new emperor to demonstrate his filial piety.
This is the origin of the original owner.
The helpless peasant girl was forced to enter the palace. Although she became the queen mother, no one in the palace respected her. The original owner was timid and cowardly, and she stayed in the palace all day long and dared not go out.
Gu Zhen did not agree with this approach. Since the new emperor neither killed her nor sent her away, it meant that there was still some use for her to be kept.
It should be possible to fight for a better life for yourself in a small scope, right?
"How dare you! How can I be considered an outsider?" Gu Zhen put on airs and glanced at the lackey who was taking advantage of his power. "Go in and ask the emperor if I can enter the imperial garden."
The servant curled his lips and was about to say a few more words in rebuttal when a guard came out and kicked him to the ground.
"You bastard! The Queen Mother is coming, but you didn't even inform her!"
The guard turned around and saluted Gu Zhen, then respectfully led her inside without even looking at the little eunuch wailing on the ground.
Gu Zhen had expected this to happen, and she behaved in a graceful manner, holding her head high and chest out, no longer the timid look she had before. The guard took one look at her, suppressed his surprise, and dared not say anything more.
The emperor intended to use filial piety to make up for his reputation as a tyrant, but the empress dowager was too timid and trembled with fear every time she saw the emperor.
She even pretended to be sick and refused to see anyone. After a long time, the emperor got annoyed and became more and more disgusted with this empress dowager who was not worthy of being in public.
Looking at it today, has the Empress Dowager figured it out?
It was the first time that Gu Zhen became the empress dowager. She felt fresh and curious. She looked around at the scenery of the imperial garden and turned a small path. Her view suddenly opened up.
In the antique pavilion, the emperor, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was also looking at her thoughtfully.
It turns out that Emperor Murong Zhi looks like this.
Gu Zhen secretly praised him for his good looks. He had an imposing manner, sword-like eyebrows, but his eyes were a little fierce and his face was expressionless, looking like a tyrant.
This unfortunate emperor in the original book was the third king of the Jin Dynasty. His mother was the foot-washing maid of the previous emperor, and she died of complications during childbirth.
The late emperor had only two sons, the eldest son was the crown prince, and the second son was Murong Zhi.
The prince was gentle, humble and polite, but unfortunately he was frail and sickly, and died not long after his wedding.
The Crown Princess left behind a son and committed suicide for love.
The late emperor fell ill due to grief over the loss of his son, and all court affairs had to be handed over to Murong Zhi.
This Murong Zhi was completely different from his brother. He was violent, domineering, and barbaric. Anyone who offended him would suffer a bad end.
The ministers in the court were trembling with fear. The brave ones wrote letters to the emperor, hoping that the prince's son could be made the crown prince.
As a result, the minister died tragically at home the next day.
From then on, no one dared to go against Murong Zhi.
On the day the previous emperor passed away, Murong Zhi naturally ascended the throne and began his path of autocracy and dictatorship.
Unfortunately, a king who is too tyrannical can easily arouse rebellion among his ministers, even though in the original book, the Jin Dynasty under Murong Zhi's rule was a time of peace and prosperity, and the people lived in harmony.
It is a rare era of peace and prosperity.
The ministers still secretly planned to get rid of Murong Zhi and support the crown prince to ascend the throne.
Everyone was in the open, but Murong Zhi was in the dark. He was caught off guard and eventually drank the cup of poisoned wine.
When he was on the verge of death, a ghost from the modern continent forcefully took over Murong Zhi's body.
He is the hero of this book, Chu Xuan.
That’s right, this world comes from a novel, “Time Travel to Become an Emperor in Ancient Times”, which is an authentic male harem novel.
When Gu Zhen first came through, she was very resistant.
The word "harem" sounds full of bad taste, but there are so many books like this, and she can't do anything about it.
In modern society, Chu Xuan is an ordinary man with ordinary looks and figure. The only thing that is unusual about him is that he likes to fantasize.
Because of sudden death from working overtime all night, he accidentally came to ancient society.
Or the supreme emperor.
He inherited the empire that Murong Zhi had worked so hard to govern, changed his tyrannical character, and conquered the court ministers with all kinds of ingenious ideas.
The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that Murong Zhi's harem was empty. In such a huge palace, there was only one empress dowager.
Chu Xuan was very interested in the original owner, the widowed young queen mother. He deliberately approached her several times and even raped her when she was drunk.
At first, the original owner was very resistant, but in the plot of the harem novel, she would eventually surrender and be devoted to the male protagonist both physically and mentally.
Later, Chu Xuan expanded his harem, took in countless concubines, and married the daughter of an important official into the palace to help him maintain the relationship between the former dynasty and the harem.
He even went on incognito visits and won over many beautiful women.
What about the pretty peasant girl, the cool knight girl, the tofu beauty, the sesame seed cake beauty...
Most of the book is about the unspeakable stories between the male protagonist and the beauties.
Although Chu Xuan has taken in many women, he still has some different feelings for the original owner. He likes this young, beautiful, delicate and vulnerable queen mother. After all, she is the first woman he has met here.
This unique favor made the original owner the target of public criticism.
Soon, she was framed for having an affair with a guard. Chu Xuan was a very chauvinistic man. He could have a harem, but his woman could not have other men.
In a rage, he banished the original owner to the cold palace. Unable to bear the humiliation, the original owner hit her head against a pillar and died.
Chu Xuan then realized that he had misunderstood the innocent little queen mother. He found out the person behind the scenes and avenged the original owner.
After this incident, he restrained himself a lot, focused on governing the country, and became a famous ruler.
When Gu Zhen heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he cursed the author of the book several times!
The system didn't dare to say anything under her scolding, and just left the task behind and ran away.
[Stay away from Chu Xuan and stop being his woman. ]
The original owner, who was kind-hearted, had only this one wish.
Gu Zhen recalled and observed Murong Zhi with a smile.
The point of the time travel was somewhat unexpected. She thought she would travel to after Chu Xuan came, but she didn't expect to find out when she arrived that Murong Zhi was not dead yet.
Could she find a way to stop it all?
"Queen, do I look good?"
An emotionless voice sounded, interrupting Gu Zhen's thoughts.
There was no smile on Murong Zhi's cold face, which looked a bit scary.
