  Liu was anxious to escape from Houmen Gongzi, and she couldnt wait to return to her own courtyard and shut the door tightly. At this time, Liu was distracted by the conversation with the brother and sister earlier, thinking about Ding Ruos future marriage, so she walked very slowly. It was rare for her to go out, and although the rules of the Great Qin Dynasty were not too many, Ding Ruo couldnt always stay at home. She enjoyed the scenery of the lake and mountains at this time, with the sunset falling, the sky filled with evening clouds, and the hazy light shining on the maple leaves that were about to turn red. The maple leaves turned red, and Ding Ruo strolled along the small path in the forest, suddenly feeling a strange sensation. A woman wearing the imperial queens attire appeared in front of her, her resentment, desolation, anger, disappointment, and ruthless determination all seemed so real to Ding Ruo.

  Ding Ruo opened her big eyes, and finally saw the womans faint smile at herself, her figure slowly disappearing. Ding Ruo, who had experienced crossing over, dared not to underestimate the soul again. There were indeed souls in this world, and the woman she just saw should be the empress of the founding emperor. Why did she smile at herself? Ding Ruo felt a chill on her back, she didnt want to be entangled by a vengeful spirit. The founding emperors wife was unwilling, but that was her business. Ding Ruo was very curious about the ending of the couple who crossed over, whether they loved each other or wanted to kill each other. But Ding Ruo had no other thoughts, protecting Liu Shi, training a obedient and loyal husband, living a rich and comfortable life, this life was enough. Getting involved in the royal familys disputes, Ding Ruo respectfully declined.

  Everyones dead, whats there to be resentful about? Besides, isnt the current emperor his son? Ding Rou bowed towards where the shadow had just appeared, dont worry, senior from the previous life. His son becoming the emperor doesnt look bad at all. Judging by the large number of imperial sons he has now, its clear that her husbands genes have been passed down to him. More than 20 imperial sons, senior from the previous life, you didnt teach your son well.

  "Xiao Rou, whats going on?" Liu Shi and Lan Xin were very curious about Ding Rous actions. Ding Rou smiled and held onto Liu Shis hand: "Mother, if I said I saw the Empress Dowager, would you be very surprised?"

  Liu was greatly shocked, tightly grasping her daughters hand. "This joke cant be played, Xiao Rou. Im afraid you dont know that according to legend, there is no Empress Dowager in the Imperial Mausoleum. The Emperor and his wife were buried together in a symbolic tomb, while the Empress was actually buried on Luofeng Mountain... But this is just a rumor, I dont know if its true or not. Did you really see the Empress?"

  Buried in Luofeng Mountain, Ding Rou hooked the corner of her mouth and added a bit of respect to Tai Zu Huang Hou. After death, she was not moved to be buried with another husband, having the characteristics of modern women. In her previous life, Ding Rou loved to read time-traveling romance novels when she had nothing to do. The female protagonist, who was once a Mary Sue loved by everyone, gradually became a low-key and introverted woman who blended into ancient times. Some stories were about how to be low-key, how to endure hardship, and how to come out on top. It seemed that endurance was the key to ancient life. Having three wives and four concubines was acceptable, but being virtuous and magnanimous was even more impressive than local women who were born and raised in the same land. With a gentle and obedient demeanor, she could influence her husband, and when he grew old or was no longer young, she would earn a sentence: "A good wife!" - the one person her husband respected most in his lifetime.

  Is this happiness? Where has the monogamous education they received in modern times gone? Is it just to give up the bottom line of many years just to be able to live? Or is it like whats written, that a husband is not a husband but a boss and superior, Im not emotional, so I can ignore the bosss mistress, doesnt she feel disgusted when sleeping with her husband?

  After traveling back to ancient times, Ding Rous days were very chaotic. She was used to all sorts of modern clean facilities, and life in ancient times wasnt as good as she had imagined. In terms of eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping, none of it compared to modern times. Ordinary commoners in modern times lived more comfortably than nobles in ancient times. Although Ding Rou wasnt extremely wealthy in modern times, she did have some savings and could go wherever she wanted. Ding Rou sighed, if this was what "real" life was like, she would rather die and see if she could travel back to the past.

  Anxious about her fate, she said with a smile: "Mother, Im just joking. How could I possibly meet the Empress Dowager?"

  Liu looked at Ding Rou and let out a long sigh, "Xiao Rou, dont mention this again." Liu glanced around her and lowered her voice, "Mother is afraid of being bothered by the Empress Dowager. Mother heard that some people who have seen the Empress Dowager returned changed."

  Ding Ruo gently patted Lius hand and smiled: "Mother, dont you think Im different now?"

  Lius wife smiled and shook her head, still her own daughter, suddenly remembered something, Lius wife pulled Ding Rou down the mountain, "When we went up the mountain, I also saw that stone monument carried by a black turtle."

  "Ah, many people are throwing copper coins." Ding Rou had once doubted the effectiveness of the stone tablet and the wishing pool. Liu Shi explained: "Look at her throwing copper coins because there is a legend that says its the blessing of the empress dowager who was reborn as a goddess in Luofeng Mountain. As long as a woman can throw a copper coin into the mouth of the black turtle, the empress dowager will bless her with a good husband and children, and its said shell also be able to marry into a first-class family."

  Ding Rou followed Liu Shi and asked, "Mother, why didnt you say anything when we went up the mountain?" Its almost the same as Xuyuan Lake. Ding Rou didnt believe that throwing copper coins into it would make her a first-class wife like in the legend. In ancient times, choosing a husband relied on vision, training a husband relied on skills, and prospering the family relied on brains and abilities, not on throwing copper coins into the mouth of a turtle.

  "There were a lot of people just now, Mother guessed that there would be fewer people now. Mother knows you dont like to wait, its all the same whether we go early or late, and Xiao Rou will definitely receive the blessings of Empress Dowager Taizhen." Madam Liu quickened her pace, but Dingtou held her back. How could she not know that there would be many noblewomen earlier on? If Dingtou went to throw coins and got into a conflict with those noble girls, Madam Liu was worried that Dingtou would suffer a loss, so she didnt say anything. Dingtou said: "Since Mother has already said its all the same whether we go early or late, lets walk slowly, theres no hurry."

  Lius mouth curved slightly, and she clenched her daughters hand tightly. "Mother has prepared all the copper coins, placed on the Buddhist altar for three days. Mother found this years newly minted copper coins and washed them many times."

  "This thing I know, helping aunt to boil water." Lan Xin said with a light tone. For the copper coins to take a bath and burn incense, Ding Rou felt a strong motherly love, but at the same time, she was speechless, and also gave copper coins to burn incense? "Mother wont recite to the copper coins, must listen to daughters words, let it fall into the mouth of the black turtle."

  Lius expression changed slightly, and Lan Xin exclaimed in surprise: "Sixth Miss guessed it correctly, Aunt Liu has been muttering to herself for many times."

  As expected, Ding Rou couldnt help but laugh and cry at the same time, while Lius face turned slightly red. "Lan Xin doesnt say much."

  "Yes, milady." Lan Xin smiled brightly, and Ding Rou looked at her with admiration. What a beauty she was! Even with her skin tanned dark, she was still a stunning woman. "Sixth Miss, Slave is smiling."

  Lan Xin understood that Ding Rou only needed to reveal this expression, and she was already praising her beauty. However, Lan Xin thought that Sixth Miss was the most beautiful, warm and gentle by Sixth Misss side, and when Sixth Miss smiled, Lan Xin thought no one could compare to Sixth Misss beauty.
