I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 206 Su Peisheng (35)

An Lingrong never imagined that she, the daughter of a minor official, would one day become the ruler of such a huge empire.

Ever since following Su Peisheng, life has been like a dream.

At first she was just being stubborn, thinking that since all the relatives she cared about were gone, even if her heinous act of committing a debauchery in the imperial palace was discovered, it would not be a big deal. She only had one life, so at worst they could take it.

She was being tortured in the palace anyway, so it would be better to die early and reincarnate early, maybe she wouldn't live such a miserable life in the next life. Who knew that this bold move would bring her a happy life in the second half of her life.

An Lingrong looked at Hong Zao who was sitting high on the dragon throne, feeling deeply moved.

When she first became regent, the ministers only treated her as an ordinary palace lady. They asked her some specious questions in an attempt to intimidate An Lingrong.

Thanks to Su Peisheng's teaching over the past few years and the previous court simulations, the ministers' attempts to make things difficult for her not only failed, but also enhanced An Lingrong's majesty.

After several rounds of competition, the court officials and kings discovered that An Lingrong was like another Empress Xiaozhuang!

But the emperor is still young, and they are still mother and son. The decision to let An Lingrong be regent was made by them together. If An Lingrong is not allowed to come, do they have to look at the face of that damn eunuch Su Peisheng?

An Lingrong and Su Peisheng, I'd choose An Lingrong. After all, there was the precedent of Xiaozhuang before this dynasty. It's not uncommon for a group of men to listen to a woman's orders. If Su Peisheng really came, look at the Qin Dynasty and the former Ming Dynasty. Letting a eunuch disrupt the government, isn't that a sign of the country's demise?

Furthermore, An Lingrong herself does have some political talent.

Therefore, the court officials and kings could only accept it and temporarily make a living under An Lingrong.

At first, everyone was counting the days for Hong Zao to take power. Royal princes usually get married early. Usually, they have concubines when they are twelve or thirteen years old, and after another year or two, they will have a wife.

When Fat Ju left, Hong Zao was eight years old. If we count based on the earliest age, they will be able to wait for another four years and the emperor will take power.

But unfortunately, after four years, An Lingrong had not served as the top leader enough, and the series of new policies she had just introduced had just begun to show results. If someone else was replaced at this time.

Although they are mother and son, not to mention that newcomers will have an adaptation period when they first come to the court, Hong Zao is still a rookie in the workplace and may not be able to beat those veteran ministers who have served three dynasties.

It was Hongzao who was able to outwit these ministers. Each of them had different views on matters. Some policies that An Lingrong thought were necessary might be abolished by Hongzao once they reached his side.

Therefore, for the sake of her new policy, for the harmonious relationship between mother and son, and for the physical and mental health of little Hongzao, the Empress Dowager decided to let the emperor get married at the age of eighteen.

Hirohaya had no objection to this.

Su Peisheng and Hong Zao's affair was never concealed in front of him, and it was because Pang Ju was busy playing the true love game with a group of women in the Zhen family. He only gave money and asked Su Peisheng to choose, reward and take care of them. He didn't have much time to visit Hong Zao in person.

Therefore, Hong Zao has always known who his biological father is. He still feels guilty about being able to sit on the throne.

So, if mother wants to be the regent, then let her do it. Anyway, this woman has always been the most courageous in the world, and there is nothing she dare not do. Whatever mother says, Hong has already done it.

Anyway, he is still just a short little red date. Father, ahem, that is Su Anda, to prevent himself from letting the cat out of the bag, I will call him Su Anda. Su Anda said that the red date is still small, and he just needs to be responsible for growing up happily.

If you are too impatient and get married at a young age, it is not good for your health. Just like a date, if you pick it before it is ripe, it will only be a small, green and astringent green date. Only when it grows naturally and is picked in the right season can it become a big, sweet, and good red date that can replenish blood and nourish the skin.

Hong Zao wanted to become a red date, so now he had to learn knowledge from Su Anda. His mother also studied for several years to become as skilled in government affairs as she is now.

Hong Zao recalled the scene when they used to live in Yongshou Palace and An Da came to teach his mother every night, and he agreed more and more with Su Peisheng's words.

The court officials originally wanted to instigate the emperor to quarrel with his mother, hoping that he would follow Shunzhi's example and put up a sign in front of his mother that read "The harem shall not interfere in politics" to show his filial piety to his mother.

But since Hong Zao was determined to become a good red date for nourishing and beautifying the skin, how could he disobey his mother?

He can have everything he has today thanks to his Royal Mother and Su Anda!

Without An Lingrong and Su Peisheng, there would be no Hong Zao; without Huang E Niang and Su Anda, there would be no Emperor Aisin-Gioro Hong Zao.

Hong Zao will be a good and obedient red date in his life! No one should try to sow discord between him and his mother!

Thus, with the cooperative efforts of this family, An Lingrong controlled the highest command power of the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years.

Over the past decade, An Lingrong was a little unfamiliar in the beginning, unable to deal with those old-timers in officialdom, but in the end, she was able to be affectionate with Su Peisheng openly and honestly. It only took a day for the court officials to go from being shocked and opposed in the beginning to being numb in the end.

At first, they just made a few verbal objections. After all, An Lingrong was in power now, and even had close confidants throughout the court. If they wanted to threaten to resign, it would be purely giving way to others. They would not do such a stupid thing.

Later, these pedantic ministers comforted themselves with some Ah Q, after all, he was just a eunuch, and nothing could happen. Let's just pretend we didn't see it and turn a blind eye. These people secretly complained in their hearts: The queen mother has such poor aesthetic taste. You have already found someone, why not find a younger one? Why did she fall in love with Su Peisheng, an old hand?

Of course, there were also smart people who seemed to have thought of something. But... now the overall situation has been decided, even if it is true, what can they do? At this time, the imperial power has reached its peak in An Lingrong's hands. They... might as well be stupid and blind.

Amitabha, it cannot be described, it cannot be described.

But later on, this was no longer something they could solve by pretending to be blind.

Because, An Lingrong... is pregnant again!

The late emperor has been dead for ten years, Your Majesty!

Would you like to hear what you are called now?

But the dead eunuch Su Peisheng who was standing next to the empress dowager could still lie with his eyes open. In front of the entire court and all the civil and military officials, he said without blushing or beating his heart that this was the child of the late emperor.

The Queen Mother also looked as if she was saying, "You are so ignorant."

"I am the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, so of course I am pregnant with a child from the Aisin-Gioro family!"

Prince Guo was so angry that he almost fell over. "This is ridiculous! Could it be that ten years after the death of the late emperor, we can still..."

An Lingrong rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your Highness is really a smart man. A few months ago, I dreamt of the late emperor. The late emperor was saddened by the fact that he had few children and grandchildren, so he appeared in my dream and conceived a child, adding another sibling to the emperor."
