Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 160: Mother is a Time Traveler

When Zhou Yangyang was 8 years old, her mother went to the mountains to collect herbs and was killed.

After reporting to the police, there was no further news.

My mother once said that if she passed away one day, she should go to the capital to find her father.

Over the years, her mother taught her many ideas that were incompatible with this world, as well as many new things and foods.

Tell her that girls are not necessarily worse than boys. If they are not bound by rules, girls should have a broader sky than boys.

If one day, this rule makes it impossible for people to survive, then break it!

When Zhou Yangyang arrived in the capital, she immediately sought out the Prime Minister's residence. After introducing herself, the Prime Minister's eyes widened: "When did I have a daughter this big? How come I didn't know about such a big thing?"

However, Prime Minister Lu still welcomed her into his mansion and doted on her.

While going into the palace to find the emperor.

"Look at what you have done. Tingting said that you would be together for life, but you clearly have a wife and concubines, and you lied to her that you were single. Now look, your own daughter has suffered so much outside."

As he spoke, Prime Minister Lu wiped the corners of his eyes.

The emperor also sighed, "I didn't expect that she would really abandon me, and I didn't know that she was pregnant when she left. I thought that as long as I treated her well, she would stay..."

"That's enough! If you don't want to recognize Yangyang, she will be my daughter from now on."

The emperor was silent.

The empress and concubines all knew that the emperor had a white moonlight, Zhou Tingting, who had escaped from the palace.

After so many years, the emperor still couldn't let her go. The queen hated her so much that she finally found out her whereabouts and killed her.

Who would have thought that her daughter would run away to the capital. Fortunately, the emperor had not yet recognized her.

So he found an opportunity, pretended to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet, and united other noble ladies except her.

Before Zhou Yangyang died, he said to her, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for looking exactly like your mother!"

"I want revenge! I only found out after I died that my mother never returned to her modern home. Because she died a violent death and couldn't go back. I also want to send her back. She was not happy at all in ancient times."

"Do you want to go back to the modern era?"

"My dear daughter, come back with your mother!" As she was speaking, Zhou Tingting came over.

"Then what about my father? I mean, my Prime Minister father. He is really good to me."

"You don't have to worry about him, let alone the emperor being wary of him. Because I told him that the way to make someone let down their guard is to keep confessing your feelings to them and make them believe that you like them. No one would think that a man who loves them so much would betray them!"

Zhou Yangyang gave a thumbs up, "Awesome, you're awesome. No wonder no matter how Dad quarrels with the Emperor, the Emperor looks at Dad, the Prime Minister, with a look that's both helpless and doting."

"How about I let you go back in time and take revenge on yourselves?" asked Sheng Jiang.

"Okay, okay, it's better to avenge yourself. Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

……

When the two emerged from Sheng Jiang's space, they were already invincible. One was completely black, the other completely white, a pair of evil spirits, mother and daughter.

"If you want revenge, you have to go back to the palace."

"But the white moonlight that you can't get is the real white moonlight. Won't the dog emperor get bored of returning to the palace?" Zhou Yangyang expressed his doubt.

Zhou Tingting thought for a moment and said, "You're right. I want to be a courtesan in a brothel."

"Oiran?"

"Back then, Li Shishi was the most popular prostitute in the brothel. The emperor of the Song Dynasty even sneaked out of the palace to see her. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to have a secret lover at all."

Zhou Yangyang: It’s really crazy.

Soon, Chunfenglou, the largest brothel in the capital, held its annual Oiran Competition.

Zhou Tingting, a master of all arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, naturally took first place. She also boldly declared that she only wished to confide in those who shared her interests, and would not bow to the powerful.

Many people wanted to have a romantic encounter with Zhou Tingting, but none of them caught her eye.

Zhou Tingting quickly became famous. Even Prime Minister Lu heard about her. Hearing that many of her ways of doing things and her poems were very similar to the man she loved, he ran to the brothel.

As expected, he saw the real person. It was the person he had been thinking about. Then he thought of something else and endured it.

"How have you been these years?"

"Very good," Zhou Tingting said with a smile.

"How could you be in a brothel?"

"What's wrong with being in a brothel? Who were brothels built for? Aren't they built for you men to have fun? Why are you looking down on people who work in brothels now?"

"You're right. Why are you back?"

"Of course I'll come back for revenge."

Prime Minister Lu was shocked. "What's going on? Who wants to kill you?"

"Of course it's the one in the palace."

The emperor couldn't hide the fact that Prime Minister Lu went to the brothel, so he went to the palace first.

The emperor could not sit still and went to Chunfeng Tower that night.

"Tingting, if you hadn't come to the brothel and had come back to the palace with me, I could still have made you my concubine."

"And then? Watch me get tortured to death by your concubines, or I fight them to the death, and the white moonlight turns into rice grains?"

"How could you think that?"

"Isn't it? When I asked you if you had a family, you said no. Then you said you would take me home, but it turned out to be the palace. I wanted to leave, but you wouldn't let me, and you kidnapped me and brought me to the palace. When I got to the palace, you let your concubines humiliate me and found all kinds of excuses to justify it.

They said the Empress's family was a general and they couldn't afford to offend him; the Imperial Concubine's father was a flood control officer and they were afraid he would flood the capital; Huipin's father was the magistrate of Jingyang County and they were afraid he would impose heavy taxes...

You always have your reasons, your last resort."

The emperor's face darkened.

"I am the emperor of a country. I cannot only consider love, but there are many other things that I am powerless to do..."

"Come on. If you can't manage anything, it means you're not a very good emperor. You're really terrible. Why don't you let me take this seat?"

"What? You want to be emperor?"

"Isn't it possible? I think I'm much more capable than you."

Seeing Zhou Tingting's serious look, the emperor felt that his authority was challenged.

"You are being treasonous!"

"What is rebellion? What is the Way? Aren't these all what you superiors say?"

The emperor was so angry that he was about to hit someone. He could favor someone, but the premise was that his kingdom could not be affected.

But before he even touched Zhou Tingting, his arm was torn off. He instantly screamed in agony.

Zhou Yangyang quickly covered the emperor's mouth, knocked him unconscious, and locked him in the dungeon.

"Mother, disguise yourself as her and go into the palace. Leave this to me."

The emperor sneaked out of the palace in the middle of the night just to see a prostitute. The queen was filled with hatred.

The next day, Zhou Tingting went to court. It was her first time attending court, so she was a little nervous.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor"

Listening to the shouts of the officials, Zhou Tingting felt as if the shackles that had been weighing on her heart had suddenly been released, and she was filled with excitement. Now that she was here, she had to do something.

"If you have the foundation to start a memorial, if you don't have the foundation to retreat!"

"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Lu stood up first. Did he feel that the emperor was different?

"Should we trade with each other on the border?"

"Of course. And wait until General Han defeats Northern Chen and the two countries sign a treaty. Peace should be the priority."

"Your Majesty," a minister came out, "the border is in urgent need of food and fodder, but the treasury is empty..."

"I have my own arrangements for this matter. In three days, I will gather all the food and supplies."

……

Oh my god, Zhou Tingting rubbed her waist after attending the morning court. "Being an emperor must be too tiring, right? If only my daughter could grow up quickly so I can give her this mess."

As soon as I walked out of the Qinzheng Hall, I saw a group of women gathered there.

"Your Majesty, you promised me that you would be there to celebrate my birthday with me."

"Your Majesty, the cat in my palace has learned to do a backflip and is waiting for you to perform it."

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has grown taller and become more sensible. He talks about you all the time, saying that when he grows up, he will share your worries..."

Zhou Tingting: Why do I feel like I’m in the wrong script?

Fortunately, I have so much help, otherwise, I wouldn’t even know so many women.

"Ahem, I remember now. I still have memorials to present. I'll go back to the Qinzheng Palace to deal with them first. We'll talk about it later."

After saying that, Zhou Tingting felt like someone was chasing her from behind, so she ran away.

"Why is the Emperor different now? In the past, no matter how busy he was, he would always find time to talk to us."

"That's right. Every time he comes to my palace, Xiaoju runs to rub against him. The emperor is not angry at all."

"Do you think the Emperor is possessed by a ghost?"

"Nonsense! In the entire capital, the Imperial Palace is the only place with the most dragon energy. How could there be any evil spirits here?"

At night, Zhou Tingting, based on the data provided by Duoduo, secretly ran to the house of Prime Minister Zuo. Wow! She directly found over one million taels of silver.

Then he went to the homes of the Imperial Censor, the Minister of War, the Minister of Revenue, and others, and received countless gold, silver, and treasures in one night. Zhou Tingting was very happy.

The next day when the court was in session, there was indeed a sound of wailing in the hall.

"Your Majesty, my house was robbed last night!"

"Oh? What did the thief steal?"

"All the silver and rare books in my house are gone."

"Tell me, how much money did you lose?"

"Yes..." Minister Liu wanted to say something, but then he remembered that his salary seemed low. He couldn't report it to his superiors, could he? What if someone found out it didn't match his actual income?

"Your Majesty, not much."

"How much is not much?"

"This is my salary, which I have saved for several years, 1000 taels of silver."

"Oh, 1000 taels," Zhou Tingting said meaningfully.

Someone nearby who was at odds with Lord Liu said, "1000 taels. How much is Lord Liu's monthly salary? How many people are there in his family? What are his monthly expenses? How much can he save each year? How long will it take to save up 1000 taels?"

Lord Liu trembled and dared not speak.

The man continued, "I heard that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is worth a thousand taels. And Gu Kaizhi's paintings are also priceless. How did Lord Liu acquire them?"

Lord Liu: ...My forehead is starting to sweat.

"Your Majesty, I request a thorough investigation of Lord Liu."

Lord Liu knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent."

"Whether he is innocent or not, the Dali Temple will judge. Take him away!"

For a moment, those who had lost money were afraid to speak.

"My dear ministers, has anyone else lost property in their homes? Report it to me, and I will take care of it for you!"

“No, nothing is lost.”

"It seems that only Lord Liu's home was robbed. Let's adjourn the court."

Zhou Tingting convened another meeting of the imperial harem concubines. "The situation on the front lines is tight, and the treasury is empty. As imperial concubines, you too should make some contributions to national affairs. Queen, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is right."

The Queen began to take the lead in donating jewelry.

"Is this all the Queen has? I remember you gifted me with many jewels before."

"But those are all gifts from the Emperor. I dare not donate to the Emperor's kindness."

"What about the General's Mansion?"

Queen: You bastard emperor! Are you really unaware that the general's mansion was robbed, or are you pretending not to know?

But the queen did not dare to say anything. She donated part of her own private money that she had originally intended to use to support her family.

"The General's Mansion can't be so poor, right?" Is that all?

The queen took out a set of headwear with a distressed look, which cost 2000 taels of silver.

Seeing that the emperor still didn't say anything, he gritted his teeth and pressed everything forward, and then the emperor showed a satisfied smile.

With the Queen setting an example, the other concubines also took out their most valuable possessions. Seeing that they dared not speak out, Zhou Tingting tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth that even Ak couldn't suppress.

"My harem is truly filled with women who are as capable as men. I will personally write a letter and present it to each of the concubines."

Then he whispered to the Queen, "What I give you is a unique copy of 'Respecting the Rules of Nei Nei'. None of them have it."

After saying that, he ran back to the Qinzheng Hall.

Queen: ...???

The other concubines didn't know what the emperor had said to the empress, and they all stared at her with hatred.

Ministers and concubines were broke, and life was miserable. They all worked honestly and waited for the next month's salary.

Some people, relying on their power, try to make more money, but the money disappears before they even get a chance to warm their hands.

After a long time, I no longer dare to have any small thoughts.

The Queen's brother, General Dong, is about to return to the court.

At this critical juncture, Concubine Duan said that her child was killed by the Queen.

No matter how the queen argued, the emperor still sent her to the cold palace on the grounds that the evidence was conclusive.

[The Queen did not harm Concubine Duan’s child] Duoduo didn’t understand.

"I know. Her elder brother won a battle. If he returns to the capital, how will I reward him? But it's different now that the Empress is in the cold palace. But General Dong will definitely be willing to give up his military achievements for her and plead for her release from the cold palace. Then I will give her justice. After all, it was Concubine Duan who harmed her. I can also save myself a reward. Why not?"

[Holy crap! You're killing three birds with one stone? Awesome!]

As expected, General Dong gave up his military achievements after returning. Zhou Tingting released the Queen from the cold palace and took back the military power.

Hehe, that’s good now. I don’t have to worry about anything anymore.

The first order of business was to disband the imperial harem. All concubines who bore children were to be sent to the temporary palace. Those who were childless were free to remarry if they wished. Those who did not wish to remarry could also live in the temporary palace.

Then he announced in a high-profile manner that he was willing to marry Bai Yueguang Zhou Tingting as his queen with the land of the country as a betrothal gift. From then on, there was only one queen in the harem.

As for how Bai Yueguang changed, of course Duoduo did it first.

When the Empress of the Imperial Palace learned that the Emperor was going to marry Bai Yueguang, she was so angry that she almost went insane. Finally, disheartened, she hit her head against the wall and died. Before she died, she cried out, "Your Majesty! You have caused me so much pain!"

The emperor in Chunfeng Tower had already lost his human form. Although Zhou Yangyang looked young, he was ruthless. Zhou Yangyang had no feelings for his father at all, turning him into a human pig before killing him.

Then she followed Duoduo, married into the palace, and became the crown princess.

Then, Zhou Tingting and her daughter began to vigorously carry out reforms. The country prospered, and their names were recorded in history books.

After they all grew old, Ginger sent them back to the modern era.
