Chapter 1953: Ascending to the Position of Emperor Herself

Ascending to the position of emperor herself was an even less realistic solution. In this feudal society where men were viewed as superior, how could a woman ever become emperor?

Without any special abilities, she would definitely be torn apart by the men around her.

She couldnt ascend to the throne at all, even if she had five years to do so. And even if she could, once Ning Shu left and her host returned, would Fu Wanhui be able to survive as emperor?

Besides, Fu Wanhui had no children. A lone woman faced a hopeless future.

Ning Shu shook her head and sc.r.a.pped the idea of becoming emperor. It was too impractical. She had to be more realistic.

Her task was making Attendant Zhou disappear and getting rid of the favored concubine system. Why was she worrying about extra stuff?

It was better to take good care of the body and wait until Fu Wanhui returned to give birth to a child.

Women in this era live like that: by obeying the four virtues, with their husbands as the center of their universe.

If she tried to block a carriage with her measly arms, shed only end up crushed.

Your Majesty, Madam Fu called out.

Seriously, why was she getting so distracted? In the past, she was always alert and prepared for anything. Maybe it was because the task was unexpectedly easy.

At least, she wasnt constantly worrying about being ambushed by violent attacks.

Mother, Ive thought things through. You can take that Lian Yi back, Ning Shu said lightly.

Your Majesty, please let this humble woman stay in the palace! Lian Yi is willing to do all she can to serve the empress. Lian Yi had walked into the palace, and when she heard Ning Shus words, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Please accept this servant.

Ning Shu raised her brows and said lightly, Theres no need.

Your Majesty, please accept this servant. This servant was willing to be a dog for Your Majesty and do anything! Lian Yi cried and said, This servant doesnt want to go back to the brothel anymore. This servant would rather be a foot-was.h.i.+ng servant by Your Majestys side.

A foot-was.h.i.+ng maid?

Ning Shus eyes whirled, remembering that Qianlongs concubine Concubine Ling was Empress Fuchas foot-was.h.i.+ng maid. When the empress died, that maid pa.s.sed out crying at the funeral and attracting Qianlongs attention.

After that, she became a winner in life. She had many children with Qianlong, and was the biological mother of Emperor Jiaqing.

Ning Shu looked at Lian Yi, who was desperate and in tears.

No, go back with Mother. Ning Shu said and took a sip from her teacup.

It was quite dangerous to keep such a person at ones side.

Lian Yi and Attendant Zhou were both women built for men: one taking the low road and the other taking the high road.

No matter what, men liked such acts.

Ning Shu didnt believe that Lian Yi would be willing to be a maid. She suffered so much from her youth onward and was soaked in herbs every day. All that just to make her body more flexible and able to contort into various difficult postures so that men could feel supreme pleasure.

After spending so much time learning all that, she was definitely going to apply it.

Enough. Your status is unsuitable for remaining in the palace. Ning Shu asked Qiu Ling to take Lian Yi out.

Your Majesty, this subject will leave first. Please take care of yourself. Madam Fu stood up and curtsied towards Ning Shu.

Ning Shu hummed and said, Mother, dont leave this woman at home. It would make the house restless.

She had been the one who hadnt thought things through.

Despite being an empress, she couldnt even deal with one little concubine and had to get another woman involved. She was seriously useless.

Ning Shu really wanted to slap herself.
