Quick Wear: She Whose Negative System Is Broken

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he opened a special examination.

The Zhang family was stripped of their titles, but as commoners they could still take part in the imperial examinations.

Zhang Tingque was on the list, and during the palace examination, Ji Qiyu, for some reason, gave him the third place.

He is a newly crowned third scholar, handsome and talented, but he has no wife and only has a concubine.

If ordinary people were to meet these conditions, they would need many extremely wealthy families or minor officials in the capital to come and form a marriage alliance.

Unfortunately, this man has an ex-wife who is a princess in power.

Because of this incident, families in Beijing told it as a joke in private for a long time.

Even though he was the top scorer in high school, no one wanted to associate with the Zhang family.

After seeing Zhang Tingque's predicament for a few days, Ji Qiyu felt much better.

But before long, Ji Qiyu no longer had the heart to watch the fun.

When she first came to power, her foundation was unstable. Now she relies entirely on the use of force to intimidate others and keep the court peaceful.

Ji Qiyu devoted herself to political affairs and neglected her fourth brother.

As the young emperor grew older, his mind became crooked.

Yu Anhe was the young emperor's study partner. One day after school, he found Yu Tang.

After much hesitation, he finally told Yu Tang.

"Mother, I feel that His Majesty is not right lately."

Yu Tang was checking the accounts. When he heard what he said, he immediately put down his pen.

"What's wrong?"

"In the past, after school, His Majesty always asked me to play wrestling or cricket with him."

"But recently, His Majesty has been absent-minded, sometimes yawning and listless, and as soon as school is over, he can't wait to call Liu, the eunuch beside him, to return to the palace."

"I don't know if I am overthinking, but I always feel that Your Majesty seems to be avoiding me on purpose."

"I left a little late last time, and heard Eunuch Liu coaxing His Majesty to mention the matter of ruling the country personally."

Yu Tang became serious. The Fourth Prince was only eleven years old when he ascended the throne. Even if he wanted to rule the country himself, it would take another five or six years.

Now there are people gossiping in his ears and avoiding Yu Anhe. It is obvious that someone can't help himself and doesn't want to see Ji Qiyu in peace.

There are undercurrents in the court. It seems we have to keep a tight rein on them and not take it lightly.

"Xiao Zao'er is really great and thoughtful. Now someone wants to teach Your Majesty bad things. If Your Majesty listens to the slander, your Aunt Yu and I will be in trouble."

After Yu Tang praised Yu Anhe, he immediately entered the palace.

Ji Qiyu asked someone to investigate and force a confession. It turned out that Eunuch Liu was bribed by the remnants of Prime Minister Qin. There was also a beautiful young maid and a eunuch who could play many tricks in the young emperor's palace.

The three of them hung out and laughed together every day, and the young emperor's childish nature was gradually won over.

Thanks to the help of the eunuch Liu who covered up the matter, it was not revealed until now.

Although those people with ulterior motives and those who sowed discord around the young emperor were replaced afterwards, the young emperor became more wary.

Because they are young and naive, their emotions are easily seen on their faces.

Ji Qiyu tried several times but failed to change the person's mind, so he simply gave up.

At the same time, she had other thoughts.

In the seventh year of Yingdao, the young emperor was deposed and imprisoned because of his brutality, lack of virtue and poor conduct.

Ji Qiyu proclaimed himself emperor and changed the reign title to Yuanhe. Yu Tang was directly appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The following year, a censor suggested the selection of concubines because the emperor had no heir, causing an uproar in the court.

After Ji Qiyu was approved, last year's second-class Jinshi wrote a letter to recommend himself.

This person was none other than Zhang Tianhu.

Suddenly, the Zhang family became the laughing stock of the entire capital, with many people laughing behind the back at Zhang's father for selling out his son in an attempt to gain power.

Little did they know that the Zhang family was also in a gloomy mood. Zhang Tianhu acted on his own and Zhang Tingque was living in a gloomy situation all day long.

"Do you really want to choose him? Aren't you worried about the Zhang family..."

Ji Qiyu smiled happily, "Why did I choose him? He obviously bumped into me on his own. I also wanted to see what they were going to do."

"Don't worry. The friendship we had a few years ago is nothing to me anymore. I won't treat him differently just because of our old friendship."

"Okay." Since she said so, why should Yu Tang worry about it? Just pay a little attention.

In addition to him, Ji Qiyu also chose the youngest son of a wealthy merchant.

This illegitimate youngest son was named Pan Jingjing. He was very cute and very different from ordinary men.

She is likable, smart and lively, and is good at acting coquettishly, which makes Ji Qiyu very fond of her.

In the third year of Yuanhe, Ji Qiyu became pregnant.

On the day of delivery, Yu Tang set up sentries at various important roads in the capital and ordered people to secretly monitor the residences of important officials.

The imprisoned eldest prince and the deposed emperor's residence were surrounded by heavy troops, and their children were imprisoned separately.

She led her soldiers to guard Ji Qiyu's bedroom personally, and her trusted aides were also waiting, fearing that someone would take advantage of the situation today.

Fortunately, Ji Qiyu gave birth to the child smoothly.

"The mission is completed. The host can choose whether to leave this world immediately."

After Yu Anhe's first child was born, the long-awaited system finally appeared.

"No." It's not that he couldn't bear to leave Ji Qiyu, Yu An and them.

However, it was not easy to become a powerful official, and seeing that he could be remembered forever with the eternal empress, how could he give up halfway?

The older she gets, the more she stays at home.

In addition to handling the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue every day, his free time is fully scheduled.

I have to learn martial arts, piano, and occasionally painting from the hired masters.

She would only go out when invited, or when Ji Qiyu went out of the palace for a private visit or went on a tour to the south of the Yangtze River, she would follow him.

Ji Qiyu complained more than once about her uneasy life, from her devilish voice to the sound of flowing water in the mountains.

As an empress, she was much more comfortable than Yu Tang. She had a stable court, was skilled in government affairs, and had plenty of time to appreciate flowers and pick branches in the back garden every day.

Zhang Tianhu stayed in the harem for two years, but Ji Qiyu finally let him go.

He is indeed a kind-hearted person, better than his brother.

His literary talent is brilliant and should not be buried in the harem.

After Li Qing'er divorced Fang Zhien, she used her dowry to buy a small courtyard in Beijing and learned how to do business.

He kept half of the money he earned for himself and sent the other half to Li Boshan who was exiled thousands of miles away.

Later, Ji Qiyu opened up the imperial examination for female officials, and she passed.

Now she works as a female official in the music house, in charge of singing and dancing, and she likes it very much.

The two would meet occasionally. Although Yu Tang still had some estrangement and caution in his heart, he always appeared to be in harmony with them on the surface.

What a pity, things have changed and people have changed.

Fang Zhien probably couldn't bear the hard life, and passed away suddenly after only three years of farming, dying before her frail and sick mother.

In this life, Yu Tang died at the age of 67.

Looking at Ji Qiyu, who had gray hair but was in good spirits and was crying beside her bed, she almost fainted from laughing.

"You're getting old, it's time to take care of yourself and stop looking for prostitutes." Yu Tang gave her final advice.

"I won't!" Ji Qiyu glared at her with swollen eyes. "Wu Zetian kept a male lover until she died at the age of 82. Look how energetic I am now."

"Look at you again, you have lived a pure life, but now you are no longer able to do so at such a young age."

...It makes so much sense, I can't refute it.

But at sixty-seven, she had already lived longer than most ancient people.

"Well, good-bye, old fellow."

Ji Qiyu squeezed her hand and choked up, "We must see each other again."

It took him decades to master the guzheng, painting, and calligraphy.

In martial arts, he learned a set of graceful and flexible sword techniques, and a set of ancient and swift gun techniques.

Ji Qiyu usually gave her gifts that were mostly related to these things.

The most precious things to her were a silver fish sword and a red tasseled dragon spear, but unfortunately they could not be brought with her when she was born, and could not be taken with her when she died.
