Chapter 360: The Palace Maids Are Not to Be Tried With 1
Xiao Yu was emperor for five years. At the end of the fifth year of An Dynasty, Xiao Yu was 5 years old and Zhang Xintong was 5. During these five years, Zhang Xintong had not been pregnant, and the ministers were very anxious.
Zhang Xintong doesn't have to have a child, but since there is really a throne to inherit, she should still have a child.
Seeing that Zhang Xintong was getting more and more anxious, Xiao Yu comforted her.
"It doesn't matter. If there's no such thing, then there's no such thing. Don't worry about it and make yourself sick. We can adopt a child from Xiao Heng's family."
Zhang Xintong didn't want Xiao Heng to get away with it, she wanted to have her own child.
"Xiao 9, why can't I get pregnant?"
"Tongtong, we are entering the body of a dead person, so we can't get pregnant and give birth to children."
"Is there any way I can get pregnant?"
"There is a way. Just take a vitality pill. It costs 50 points, which is not expensive. However, the vitality pill has some side effects."
"What side effects?"
"The Vitality Pill moves your vitality from the future to the present. Taking it won't extend your lifespan, and it can only guarantee you one child."
"How long can I live after taking the vitality pill?"
“I should be able to live to around 50 years old.”
If he is 50 years old, his child will be 20 years old, and there will be no problem for him to inherit the throne by then.
"Little 9, give me a vitality pill."
"Okay, you had 3730 points before. The last world was a small world, and you got 330 points. Now you have 4060 points. After deducting 50 points, you have 4010 points left. Tongtong, here's the vitality pill for you."
Zhang Xintong took the vitality pill and felt warm all over.
When Xiao Yu came to the Queen's Palace after leaving the court, he saw Zhang Xintong waiting for him in only a thin layer of gauze. Xiao Yu closed the door and picked up the person on the bed.
"Tongtong, are you trying to seduce me?"
Zhang Xintong smiled charmingly
"Your Majesty, I miss you so much. Can you please hurry up? Don't ask so many questions."
Xiao Yu took off her clothes to satisfy Zhang Xintong. The gauze fluttered in the room and she kept panting.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but tease her. Zhang Xintong flirted with him casually, and he couldn't stop.
A month and a half later, the imperial physician diagnosed that Zhang Xintong was pregnant with a dragon heir. At 29 years old, Zhang Xintong was considered an older mother. Xiao Yu was extremely nervous, fearing that something might happen to Zhang Xintong.
During the entire pregnancy, Zhang Xintong gained more than 20 kilograms, and Xiao Yu lost more than 20 kilograms. She was always worried that something might happen to Zhang Xintong.
Finally, the day of Zhang Xintong's delivery arrived. Xiao Yu, the emperor, accompanied Zhang Xintong during the delivery, and no one could say anything.
Zhang Xintong gave birth to a girl, and the ministers were very disappointed. Why was it not a boy?
Because the child was conceived by taking the vitality pill, Zhang Xintong had a difficult birth. Xiao Yu accompanied her during the delivery and saw how painful she was, so she decided to only give birth to this one child.
Zhang Xintong knew her situation and could only have one child.
Zhang Xintong had been a queen before, so she didn't think women were inferior to men. Although this was a feudal, patriarchal society, she was determined to train her daughter to become an empress.
Zhang Xintong named her daughter Xiao Yuan, meaning to let her spread her wings and fly high.
Xiao Yuan began learning the art of governing a country and the art of being an emperor at the age of two. She also had to learn medicine, poisons, martial arts, and mathematics. Zhang Xintong selected four palace maids for Xiao Yuan, all of whom were about the same age as her.
These four palace maids were all orphans with clean backgrounds. Zhang Xintong named them Chunyu, Xiahe, Qiuye and Dongshuang.
The friendship that comes from growing up together is definitely stronger than the loyalty that is cultivated later. Zhang Xintong wants her daughter to have someone to rely on.
While Xiao Yuan was studying, the four palace maids were also learning. They not only had to learn how to assist the empress and be a minister, but also how to do business. Xiao Yuan was learning medicine, poisons, martial arts, and mathematics, and the four palace maids also had to learn. They also had to learn the appearance and price of various grains to prevent anyone from defrauding Xiao Yuan.
The five children were raised by Zhang Xintong as empresses and female officials since childhood, and they were overwhelmingly popular among their peers.
Zhang Xintong often tells her five children not to think that women are inferior to men. As long as they are excellent, they can stand at the top and no one can shake them.
Zhang Xintong also left Xiao Yuan a female special forces team. The members in it were all orphans who had been adopted by Zhang Xintong since childhood. They were taught martial arts by someone and each of them could fight against a hundred people. This female special forces team was loyal only to Xiao Yuan and was Zhang Xintong's trump card for Xiao Yuan.
Zhang Xintong still remembered wanting the dragon throne. Since Zhang Xintong wanted it, Xiao Yu specially made two for her. Zhang Xintong collected them all into the space and placed them in the living room of the small building so that she could sit on them when she had nothing to do.
When Zhang Xintong was 49 years old, her health failed, so she asked Xiao Yu to pass the throne to Xiao Yuan and help her with the transition for a while.
Xiao Yu immediately prepared to abdicate, which shocked the court. The ministers opposed it, saying how could a woman become emperor? However, their opposition was ineffective, and Xiao Yuan ascended the throne as empress.
When Xiao Yuan ascended the throne as empress, Xiao Heng was the most angry. He had always believed that after Xiao Yu died, his son would become emperor, and then he would become the emperor emeritus.
Xiao Heng's wish was shattered and he fell seriously ill at home.
Xiao Heng's wife was not Zhang Shu, but someone else he married later. He had one wife, five concubines, six sons and five daughters.
Zhang Shu had lived a comfortable life these years and had never married. After Xiao Yuan became the empress, Zhang Xintong had a talk with her and asked her to become a court lady to assist Xiao Yuan.
Zhang Shu had been the Duke of Protector of the Country for 20 years, which had broken a precedent. She entered the court as a female official, and the ministers quickly accepted her.
When Zhang Xintong was 50 years old, her health was completely failing. Xiao Yuan was very sad because after her mother passed away, her father might also leave her. She lost both parents at once and it was difficult for her to accept it.
"Little 9, the next world"
"Tongtong, there are wish-granters in this world. Do you want to continue the mission? It's related to your daughter."
"Who is the one who made the wish?"
"It was you who chose the maid Xia He."
"Okay, then continue the mission."
"Okay, Tongtong."
When Zhang Xintong opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yuan crying. She had just left and entered Xia He's body.
After Zhang Xintong left, Xiao Yu also left. Xiao Yu was 57 years old, and Xia He was 20 years old. He had to change his body, otherwise he could not be with Zhang Xintong who had become Xia He.
The first thing Zhang Xintong did after becoming Xia He was to deal with her own and Xiao Yu's funeral. It took her a whole month to finish it. It was only because Zhang Xintong told Xiao Yuan to keep it simple before leaving that it ended so quickly.
"Xiao 9, transfer the original owner's memories"
"OK, transmission begins, time paused"
Xia He's memory is very simple. She was chosen by Zhang Xintong to be Xiao Yuan's trusted palace maid since she was a child, and learned various abilities to assist Xiao Yuan.
Xia He regarded Zhang Xintong as her mother and Xiao Yuan as her sister. After Zhang Xintong's death, she vowed to protect Xiao Yuan.
Zhang Xintong and Xiao Yu were buried in the imperial mausoleum. After the national mourning ended, all kinds of strange things and murders began to occur in the palace and the imperial city. Folk rumors said that these strange things happened because a woman became emperor, and it was a punishment from heaven.
Xia He has learned the skills of investigating cases. She does not believe in divine punishment. This is just the result of a group of self-righteous men who don't want a woman to be the emperor. She must find out the truth and let Xiao Yuan be the queen safely.
