Ji Zhao looked at her in surprise and asked curiously, “Chunyan, have you seen His Majesty before?”

“Yes.” Feng Chunyan lowered her head shyly. “It was the third day after Kang’er’s birth. Didn’t His Majesty come too? I… When I was flying the kite with Zhuang Zhuang, the kite suddenly broke off and hung on the tree. Later, His Majesty picked up the kite for us…”

Actually, at that time, Feng Chunyan did not dare to look up at the emperor’s face. It was just that she felt that the fragrance on His Majesty’s body was very pleasant.

Moreover, when Emperor Jingchen turned around to leave, she mustered her courage and stole a glance. Although she only saw the side of the emperor’s face, that glance was enough to move Feng Chunyan.

“Sister Ah Tao, His Majesty was an unattainable existence to me. It’s just that after I heard that His Majesty had allowed commoners to participate in the royal selection, I… I couldn’t hold back.”

That was why Feng Chunyan secretly signed up for the royal selection. When she found out that she had passed the preliminary test, she was overjoyed.

However, when this news reached the Shen family, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen was furious.

“Chunyan, do you really like His Majesty?” Ji Zhao looked at her flushed face and smiled gently. “I can persuade Sister-in-law to allow you to enter the palace, but you have to promise me one thing.”

“Sister Ah Tao, tell me!” Feng Chunyan asked impatiently.

“Before you love someone, you have to love yourself first.” Ji Zhao stroked her head and advised with a gentle gaze, “Once you enter the palace, you will no longer be Feng Chunyan, but His Majesty’s concubine. With this identity, it also means that you will be bound by the palace rules. You have to be careful in every step in the future. The current His Majesty is not a person who values desires. It will not be easy for you to enter his heart.”

“At first, you might feel excited, but every time your efforts are not reciprocated, you will be disheartened. At that time, your love will gradually disappear. Most love at first sight in this world is lust. Think about it, you only met His Majesty once, so how would you know his character?”

Feng Chunyan was in a daze when she heard this.

In the end, her gaze gradually became firm. “Sister Ah Tao, I want to give it a try bravely. Even if I can’t enter His Majesty’s heart in the end, as long as I can look at him from afar, I’ll be satisfied.”

“Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t persuade you anymore. As for Sister-in-law, I’ll help you.” Before leaving, Ji Zhao smiled and tapped the tip of her nose. “Chunyan, since you’ve chosen this path yourself, then walk down it bravely. I wish you all the best.”

“Sister Ah Tao, thank you!” Feng Chunyan smiled gratefully.

In the end, Feng Chunyan still entered the palace as she wished. Because she came from the Shen family, she was conferred the title of Talented Lady as soon as she entered the palace.

Later on, she spent a full eight years and used her sincere love to melt Emperor Jingchen’s heart that resembled an iceberg. In the end, she became the empress that Emperor Jingchen respected and liked.

In the second year of Jingchen, Shen Yao accompanied Ji Zhao back to Shanghe Village.

Lifting a corner of the carriage, the couple looked at each other and smiled.

“In a while, I’ll invite Imperial Physician Li to visit the village chief,” Shen Dashan said with a frown. “In the past few years, a few villages around Shanghe Village have been merged. The village chief has contributed greatly.”

Shen Menghu was a wise and insightful person.

Moreover, he had helped Shen Yao a lot back then.

In Shen Dashan’s eyes, Shen Menghu was an elder worthy of respect!

Two days later, Shen Menghu passed away.

However, he had a smile on his face before he left.

Shen Dashan helped the village chief’s family organize a lively funeral for Shen Menghu.

Later on, Shen Dashan became the new village chief of Shanghe Village.

Shen Yao also accompanied Ji Zhao and renovated the Earth Temple. They also reconstructed the golden body of the Earth God.

Over the years, Ji Zhao had bought a lot of businesses. From Dingyuan County to Yunchuan Prefecture to the capital city, her Spring Breeze Pavilion had opened in every prefecture in the Great Jing Dynasty. The master behind Spring Breeze Pavilion had also become the richest person in Great Jing.

Only a few people knew that the richest person in Great Jing was the family of Grand Secretary of Great Jing.

In the fourth year of Jingchen, Grand Secretary Shen brought his relatives to the northwest to help the people of the northwest reclaim the wasteland and be self-sufficient.

In the sixth year of Jingchen, Ji Zhao gave birth to another daughter for Shen Yao, named Shen An’an.

In the eighth year of Jingchen, under the rule of Emperor Jingchen, the Great Jing Dynasty had become the richest and most powerful country in the continent.

In the fifteenth year of Jingchen’s reign, Shen Dashan and his wife fell seriously ill one after another. After three years of mourning, Shen Yao resigned. However, the memorial he handed over was held back by Emperor Jingchen.

In Jingchen’s 30th year, the First Grand Secretary of the generation, Shen Yao, died of illness in his sixties. The next spring, his wife, Madam Ji, also passed away in her sleep.

After Shen Yao’s death, he was conferred the title of first rank Imperial Duke Yi by Emperor Jingchen. His wife, Ji Zhao, was also conferred the title of first rank Madam.

It was not until Emperor Jingchen issued an imperial edict that the people of Great Jing found out that Imperial Duke Yi and his Madam had secretly done countless good deeds that benefited the country and the people!

Before her death, the Duchess had even handed over all her assets to the imperial court.

This righteousness touched countless people.

From then on, the story of Imperial Duke Yi and his wife became a story that the people talked about.

“I was once unable to extricate myself from the vastness of the world. I was also immersed in sleep talk. I couldn’t help but struggle if it was real or fake…”

A familiar ringtone suddenly sounded. Ji Zhao, who was lying on the desk, suddenly woke up.

“Hello?”

“Oh my god, Zhaozhao, you finally picked up the phone. Do you know that I’ve been calling you for three hours? But you’ve been busy! What’s wrong with you? Wait for me, I’ll be at your house soon… Beep, beep, beep…”

A hurried voice came from the phone, but Ji Zhao was in a daze.

Her gaze went to the cookbook on the table, then to the softly glowing lamp. She blinked in confusion.

Fifteen minutes later, Ji Zhao confirmed one thing. She had returned to the twenty-first century.

With the arrival of her best friend, Zhao Xue, she also understood the reason why she transmigrated into a book.

Zhao Xue was a web novelist, and the book she had read before was her new work.

However, she felt that Zhao Xue’s description of the original female protagonist, Ji Ah Tao, was too brainless and tragic, so she complained a little.

In the end, she actually transmigrated into the book and used Ji Ah Tao’s perspective to change the plot of the entire book.

“Zhaozhao, what do you think of my newly modified draft?” Zhao Xue eagerly handed the draft to Ji Zhao and said with a smile, “It’s all thanks to your ridicule. I also feel that it’s much better after changing the female protagonist’s character. You don’t know how difficult it is for web novel writers nowadays. You want to write sadistic novels, right? The readers don’t think it’s sweet enough. You want to write sweet novels, but the readers think it’s too boring- Hey, Zhaozhao, did you hear me?”

“I heard it!” Ji Zhao smiled and nodded. “It’s indeed much better after changing like this.”

It turned out that the 33 years she spent in the Great Jing Dynasty were just a three-hour dream in the new century.

Now that she had woken up from her dream, she left with a hollow heart.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Zhao Xue dragged her to the cafe downstairs.

“Zhaozhao, are you really alright? Didn’t you always like to drink cappuccinos from this shop? Why are you in a daze today?” Zhao Xue asked anxiously. “Zhaozhao, if anything happens, don’t hold it in. You have to tell me. I’m willing to be your emotional trash can! Really!”

“I’m really fine.” Ji Zhao shook her head. She picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip. When she saw the tall and strong figure outside the glass window from the corner of her eye, she hurriedly chased after him!

That tall figure was wearing an exquisite gray suit.

When he saw Ji Zhao rushing in front of him, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“Long time no see, my Zhaozhao.”

Ji Zhao could no longer hold back her emotions. She threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.

Zhao Xue, who witnessed this scene, had a puzzled look on her face.

How did her best friend know the big boss of their website?

Even after her best friend became the lady boss, Zhao Xue still could not figure this out.
