Chapter 28
When the scene is cold, someone needs to come to the rescue, that's why Shao Yuan brought Jing Ran over here.When the topic of their conversation reaches the point where they can't continue talking, someone needs to bring up a new topic.Shaoyuan had seen Jing Ran's eloquent and eloquent attitude yesterday, and she had great confidence in Jing Ran.

Shaoyuan cleared her throat and said, "This younger sibling in my family is the best at telling stories. Today I will bring her here to tell stories and listen to something new for the sisters."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jing Ran for a while, Jing Ran was not afraid, stood up and said, "Shall I tell a historical drama today? Tell me a story from the past. It is said that a long time ago, there was a country called In the Zhou Dynasty, its emperor was a female emperor named Wu Zetian..."

In fact, Jing Ran doesn’t know much about Wu Zetian. All she knows and knows comes from TV dramas. TV dramas are full of jokes and don’t really follow history. But the advantage is that it’s more legendary and interesting than real history. .What's more, Jing Ran's focus is on describing the love between Wu Zetian and the two generations of emperors, and the political affairs are mentioned less, which is more in line with the hobbies of young women in the boudoir.

The story has been told for a long time, and everyone has maintained high interest, all of them paying attention, and there is no other sound in the room except Jing Ran's voice.In the middle, there was no one even going to the toilet, for fear of missing some key plot.

When the story was finished, the audience was still unsatisfied, as if they had watched a TV series with many episodes.After listening to the story, of course it's time to publish the afterthoughts. Now Jing Ran can be pushed behind the scenes. Her role has been fulfilled. Now the wives have a new topic, and they start to discuss enthusiastically again.

A lady said: "Oh, I really didn't expect that the emperor of another country is a woman. This kind of thing will never happen to us."

Another lady said: "This empress is really a ruthless character. She is ruthless and resolute. She is a husband."

The servant's wife said: "Speaking of which, this empress looks a bit like the current empress dowager."

Shaoyuan said: "Yes, when I heard it just now, I remembered Queen Mother Chu."

Then, the topic changed direction, from Empress Wu Zetian to the current Empress Dowager Chu, Jing Ran quietly stayed in the corner and listened to them.

This Empress Dowager Chu is the queen of Sima Yue, the fourth emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but Sima Yue died early, so his two-year-old son ascended the throne. Behind a heavy white bead curtain, I listened to ministers playing state affairs, and also reviewed memorials on behalf of the emperor.Finally, the little emperor was 15 years old, and the Empress Dowager Chu returned to power to the little emperor, but only four years later, the little emperor died.

The Empress Dowager Chu had only one child, the little emperor, and the little emperor had no children, so the throne was given to the current emperor Sima Pi.Sima Pi should call the Empress Dowager Chu Auntie according to the folk saying. It hasn't been long since the new emperor ascended the throne.I heard that he was already 20 years old when he ascended the throne. It is reasonable to say that he is already an adult, and there is no need for Queen Mother Chu to listen to politics behind the curtain. Unexpectedly, this emperor has no intention of political affairs, and only likes to make elixir and seek immortality.Therefore, it is still the Empress Dowager Chu who manages the country.

After listening to these fragmentary introductions, what Jing Ran thought of was indeed the Empress Dowager Cixi. If he had known earlier, he should not have told them about Empress Wu Zetian, and should have talked about a closer Empress Dowager.In the past, Jing Ran only knew Wu Zetian and Cixi as the only strong women in history, and she had never heard of Empress Dowager Chu. She never thought that one day she would live under the rule of such a powerful empress dowager.
