Chapter 1281 - 478: Palace Intrigue Is No Match for Rebellion (Part 15)
"Ding! System binding successful!"
"Ding! Publish beginner’s task: Have an intimate encounter with the Emperor once! Task completion reward: ’Sick Beauty’ aura once. Task failure penalty: hairline recedes two centimeters!"
Zheng Nianer:...
A receding hairline of two centimeters, isn’t this the rhythm of "premature baldness"?
She really doesn’t want to do this and that with a shared plug, nor does she want to get involved in palace intrigue!
What’s the point of a bunch of women fighting among themselves?
It’s better to use her knowledge that transcends this time and space to change her destiny, make herself independent and strong, and pursue a career vigorously.
But——
Wuwu, Zheng Nianer doesn’t want to be a "bald-headed girl."
Moreover, Zheng Nianer has a premonition that the system she’s bound to is a rogue system.
If she resists executing the task, there might be even more brutal, more terrifying punishments.
In the later world, Zheng Nianer has already died once, now having the chance to survive in the Otherworld, she really doesn’t want to miss it.
Call her eager to live or cowardly and weak.
But Zheng Nianer really just wants to live well!
She just came here, hasn’t enjoyed the joy of "Rebirth," she really doesn’t want to hang up.
Isn’t it just an intimate encounter with the Emperor, isn’t it just palace intrigue, she... takes it day by day.
Over time, she might be able to find a way to counter the rogue system!
"Nianer, His Majesty is here!"
Two or three days ago, Lady Hu couldn’t tolerate Wang Mingqi’s antics anymore and hid at this manor.
Nominally, of course, it’s because she, as a mother, felt uneasy about her daughter and always personally took care of her.
But the real reason, only Lady Hu knows.
However, at this moment, Lady Hu is extremely grateful to be at the manor.
Who would have thought, His Majesty would at this time, painstakingly come to visit Zheng Nianer?
Upon arrival at the manor, Emperor Yongcheng saw Lady Hu actually guarding the manor, immediately thinking, truly deserving wet nurse, she is indeed a loving person!
Lady Hu:...
Ten years ago she became Emperor Yongcheng’s wet nurse, wholeheartedly devoted to this noble little master.
Don’t even mention the husband, even sons and daughters didn’t have much time to spend together.
Feelings, well, are accumulated over time.
Even biological mother and daughter, if only seen occasionally once a year, it’s hard to have deep mother-daughter affection.
Lady Hu entered the palace when Zheng Nianer was not yet a month old.
Before the age of five, Zheng Nianer rarely saw Lady Hu.
Later, something happened in the palace, Empress Dowager He feared her only son might also be harmed, commanding wet nurses and slaves to send Emperor Yongcheng to the He Family’s manor, giving Lady Hu a chance to reunite with her husband and children.
The years outside the palace were one of few times Lady Hu spent with her children.
In some aspects, Lady Hu’s situation is similar to Empress Dowager He’s: forced reasons prevent personally caring for her children.
But Lady Hu is luckier——
Empress Dowager He encountered a scheming, ambitious Lady Hu, taking Empress Dowager He’s rewards, yet secretly sowing discord between mother and son.
And Lady Hu, has a kind and honest husband.
Zheng Youliang has no skills but is conscientious, knowing his wife’s hardship as a palace wet nurse, always advises the children:
You must be filial to your mother, she, for you and our family, stays alone in the Imperial Palace, appearing glamorous, inwardly suffering untold hardships.
Thus, even with Lady Hu rarely focusing on her own children, these kids might not be close to her, but they bear no grudges.
But, feelings not deep are just not deep.
Even now, the most important person in Lady Hu’s heart has always been Emperor Yongcheng.
Zheng Nianer is deeply mired in rumors’ mire, Emperor Yongcheng provided the solution, instructing the Zheng Family to send her to the manor outside the capital.
Lady Hu, Zheng Youliang obediently sent her away.
Lady Hu, sending a dizzy and dazed Zheng Nianer off, appeared worried, occasionally wiping tears, yet never thought to personally care for the child at the manor.
Because deep down, Lady Hu doesn’t care much about Zheng Nianer as a daughter.
"Aren’t there slaves and elder women? I’m not a Divine Doctor, I wouldn’t be of much help!" Lady Hu tells herself in her heart.
Of course, the main reason Lady Hu won’t go is: Emperor Yongcheng is not there? Who is she performing for!
