I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 1 The Empress Selects a Man

"Sister Xue'er, I'm here. Haha, you're sleeping so soundly."

At noon on a hot summer day, Shen Changgong quietly slipped into Jiang Ruoxue's room, sat down beside her bed, and whispered in a doting tone.

Jiang Ruoxue had her back to him and was taking a nap on her side.

Because it was very hot in the summer, there was no quilt, and Jiang Ruoxue was only wearing a gauze dress. She was barely visible under the gauze, and was sleeping soundly.

It has been half a month since Shen Changgong traveled to this world. In his previous life, he was a professional killer on Earth. After he died in a mission, his soul traveled here.

After coming here, he found that this was an ancient time, but not any dynasty in history.

This was a family of a small wealthy businessman. The original owner was the second child. His eldest brother died of drunkenness on the eve of his wedding last year because he was forced to drink by his good friend. The happy event turned into a funeral.

Poor Jiang Ruoxue, she didn't even see her husband and became a widow in a flash.

Everyone said that Jiang Ruoxue was a disaster star who had killed men. Her parents' home wouldn't let her go back, so she could only remain a widow in the Shen family.

The original owner was a playboy and a lecher, but because Sister Xueer was a "husband-killer", he never had any improper thoughts about her.

After Shen Changgong arrived, he was immediately attracted by the beautiful, kind and gentle Sister Xueer.

Creating chance encounters, sending gifts, showing care, being graceful and a little bit ruffian.

Xue'er is an ancient woman, so how could she have ever seen the skills of a modern man like him in picking up girls?

She had been a widower for a long time and gradually began to waver. Shen Changgong took the opportunity to get close to her.

In his previous life, he had had enough of living on the edge of a knife and was already tired of it. Now that God had given him another life, he decided to live a life of contentment, luxury and debauchery in this home.

Hard work may not necessarily lead to success, but it will definitely be easy to lie down.

First marry Xueer, then marry a dozen concubines, and a comfortable and wealthy life will be enough.

He really likes and admires this kind young lady.

Jiang Ruoxue whimpered and opened her eyes dazedly. Seeing Shen Changgong calling her, she did not feel strange or offended. She muttered,

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Xue'er's voice is very nice, soft and pleasant, and she whispers like she is acting coquettishly.

Shen Changgong shuddered when he heard this. He still remembered the first time he met his sister-in-law, and the word "Uncle" made him feel a little overwhelmed.

Later I remembered that married wives always call their husband's younger brother uncle.

"Chang Gong, why are you here?"

Sister Xueer turned sideways and looked at her with a smile.

Shen Changgong took her delicate white hand in his, stroked it gently, looked into her eyes, and whispered sincerely,

"Xue'er, I really want to marry you. As long as you agree, I will immediately give your family an additional betrothal gift and marry you in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

If you don't want to now, I won't force you. I will sleep with you on our wedding night."

"I... I naturally understand your sincerity, but... but I've already been married once. If I remarry, I can only be a concubine, not your principal wife.

And... and I'm marrying your eldest brother. If this gets out, where will you put your face?"

This kind-hearted woman thought of Shen Changgong's first rather than her own face.

"Leave the slanderous words of the world to the common people. Why would I care about them? And I promise not to let any rumors reach your ears."

"I……"

Xue'er looked at Shen Changgong's extremely handsome face with emotion, and her heart was shaken again.

He had a charming yet dangerous smile on his face, full of aggression.

Shen Changgong struck while the iron was hot, pushed Xue'er down, and kissed her.

Just when Xue'er was hesitating whether to give it to him this time, a roar suddenly came from outside the yard.

"Where's Shen Changgong? Where did that little bastard go? Get out here now!"

A loud roar frightened Shen Changgong so much that he almost collapsed.

This is Daddy's voice.

"I'll go see what's going on."

After saying that, Shen Changgong stood up and walked outside.

Jiang Ruoxue also quickly put on a coat, put on her shoes and followed him out.

As soon as Shen Changgong left the courtyard, he saw his father looking for him with a stick.

Seeing him coming out of Jiang Xueer's yard, his father was so angry that he raised his stick and hit him.

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard. Why did you go to Xue'er's room again? You beast!"

The fat old man raised a stick to hit him, and Jiang Xueer hurriedly followed behind him to persuade him.

"Father, please stop hitting me. I didn't have lunch, and my uncle just came to bring me some snacks."

Dad sighed, threw down the stick, and said angrily,

"You don't dare to do anything in broad daylight. If I see you going to your sister-in-law's yard again, I will break your legs.

Hurry and leave! Someone is coming from the palace and wants to see you. Kneel down and receive the order."

"The palace? I don't know anyone in the palace."

Although their family lived in the capital of Yan State, they were in the outer city. How could they possibly know anyone in the palace?

"Hurry up and leave! If you delay the imperial edict, our entire family will have their heads chopped off!"

Dad pulled Shen Changgong and walked quickly towards the gate.

Jiang Ruoxue had a bad feeling in her heart and hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at the gate, Shen Changgong saw his old mother and a group of servants kneeling in unison, and a tall woman standing at the door.

The woman had a pretty face and looked very heroic. She wore a simple ponytail and a white suit, looking very heroic.

When Shen Changgong saw this woman, he was shocked.

Isn't this the woman the original owner remembered whistling at on the street more than half a month ago?

Are you here to cause trouble?

When the woman in white saw Shen Changgong, her eyes were arrogant, a sneer hung on the corner of her mouth, and she said slowly,

"Why? Second Master Shen, have you forgotten me so quickly?"

Dad quickly pulled Shen Changgong and made him kneel down.

Shen Changgong knelt down helplessly and said,

"I, Shen Changgong, accept the order."

Forget it, now that things have come to this, let’s just fight back.

The woman in white laughed sarcastically.

"Are you worthy of His Majesty's decree?"

"Hmm? Didn't His Majesty have an order?"

Shen Changgong frowned.

The woman snorted coldly,

"By order of the Grand Chamberlain, Shen Changgong is summoned as a young man to enter the palace for selection and to serve Her Majesty the Empress. He will depart immediately."

Shen Changgong was stunned for a moment.

Xiu...Xiu Nan?

What a niche word.

Has the world become insane like this?

Who the hell wants to serve the dog emperor? I just want to stay at home with my sister-in-law.

Just when he was curious about whether he could go home if he was not selected, the old father behind him screamed and burst into tears.

The old mother cried even more heartbreakingly.

"My son! Why do you have such a miserable life? You are the only son left in our family!"

"Come here, go get some money, and give all the money in the house to honor the master!"

"Sir! Please spare my child. He is the only one left in our family. We cannot send him away when he is young!"
