Da Tang Si Zi: My Six Super Rich Little Nuggets!

Chapter 104 Zi An is still Wu Xiaosi's confidante.

Wu Xiaosi, holding a teacup, crossed her legs and squinted at Zi An, saying:

"Brother Zian, let me tell you, my group of male concubines in my later years were all important pieces on my political chessboard, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Zi An chuckled: "Consort Wu, you're truly a rising star! But to be honest, am I in a bit of danger? How come you've suddenly become an empress while I'm still stuck as a fake eunuch? This script doesn't seem right!"

Wu Xiaosi immediately stood up from her chair, her eyes shining with a charming light, looking at him with adoration:

"Brother Zi'an, you're not in danger at all! You're my idol, and I admire you to the core! What's a fake eunuch? You're a super strategist who's infiltrated the palace. You think thousands of steps ahead of you. I've gotten to where I am today all thanks to you!"

Zi An's lips twitched, and she waved her hand: "Don't be like that, my empress, don't try to fool me. I'm just afraid that one day your 'chessboard theory' will really include me and put me in your group of male concubines."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaosi jumped up and down in a panic: "Oh dear, don't talk nonsense! How could I bear to do that? You are the epitome of my great literary talent and wisdom. My grand Tang Dynasty development plan depends entirely on you. How could I dare to touch you!"

With a serious expression and a tone full of pride, she said, "Brother Zi'an, you are the most precious boy in my life. Without you, would I, Xiaosi, be where I am today?"

Zi'an sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Fine, you've got good eyesight. So, what are you planning to do about those people who sent messages to Li Zhong, wanting him to be the crown prince?"

Xiao Si pursed her lips: "Haha, I'll show them what 'high emotional intelligence' really means to deal with people without leaving a trace!"

The ascension of a new emperor to the throne and the appointment of a crown prince are perfectly normal procedures in the royal family.

Although Empress Wang was the empress, she did not give birth to a prince. Li Zhong was the eldest son of Emperor Zhinu, so Empress Wang could only discuss with her uncle Liu Shi about making him the heir for the time being.

In order to maintain and preserve the power of her maternal relatives, Liu Shi believed that the position of empress should not be held in vain, nor should it be merely a title without substance.

So they sided with Changsun Wuji, and the two forces worked together from within and without, constantly putting pressure on Li Zhi, ultimately forcing him to make Li Zhong the crown prince.

When Wu Xiaosi looked at it, it was just as recorded in history; there was no need for him to take action at all.

Wu Xiaosi remained completely unfazed, leisurely lying on the soft couch and munching on grapes.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this a script of effortless success that comes from studying history?! You really don't need to think about anything, just go through the motions, and Li Zhong's affair is definitely doomed!"

Although she wasn't worried about anything in her little brain, she already had a clear understanding of the situation.

After all, although Li Zhi still had some lingering feelings for Empress Wang, those feelings had long been washed away by Uncle Liu's lack of understanding.

Empress Wang completely failed to grasp the situation. The key to her falling out of favor was not Consort Wu, but that her uncle had chosen the wrong side and insisted on opposing the emperor.

As a result, Empress Wang not only failed to reflect on her actions, but also became increasingly hostile towards Wu Xiaosi. She was both hurting him and causing trouble, just like a persistent athlete flying against the wind.

What's not outrageous is that she still went back to her old nemesis, Consort Xiao, who is now out of favor just like her, and the two formed the most powerless alliance in history!

Empress Wang held Consort Xiao's hand with a look of "sisterly affection," as if the two had finally found a common outlet for their resentment after years of being out of favor.

This repetitive process left Wu Xiaosi dumbfounded: "These two sisters still have the mood to shake hands and make up?? They were both crippled like that later... Sigh, but thinking about it, it's quite tragic."

This time, Wu Xiaosi thought, I'll just give them a drunken tango, scare the monkeys outside, and give some people a warning!

Wu Xiaosi said to her brother Zhinu, "Don't worry, brother. Just be harsh in your public statements; you won't kill them."

No one knew why Li Zhi loved Wu Zetian so much, but Wu Xiaosi now understands: besides being decisive and ruthless, the most crucial thing about the Empress was that she was very good at manipulating external affairs and very good at dealing with people internally.

However, it was precisely this "plastic sisterhood" that enabled Wu Xiaosi to come up with a sudden inspiration when faced with an unsolvable problem in her later years, ultimately leading to a historic reconciliation between the Li Tang Group and the Wu Group.

Later, Wu Xiaosi sat on the chaise lounge in the imperial study, holding a cup of fragrant tea, and suddenly burst into laughter, amused by her own words.

She laughed and slapped her forehead, exclaiming to her brother Zi'an, "Tsk, Empress Wang really knows how to stir things up! This woman truly lives up to her reputation as a maverick in the world of palace intrigue; she managed to give me a political lesson with her outrageous tactics. Tell me, her move to team up with Consort Xiao in a 'plastic sisterhood' was absolutely enlightening!"

Zi'an, who was grinding ink for her beside her, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Aren't they your mortal enemies? Why are you thanking your enemies?"

Xiao Si slammed her hand on the table, her eyes gleaming: "What do you know! They're just following a blatant 'joint training'! With a common enemy—me—they've turned enemies into friends, haven't they? It's made me realize a truth: as long as you find the right point of conflict, like my male concubines, even the biggest hatred can crumble instantly. Tell me, isn't this political insight perfect!"

Zi'an couldn't help but grin: "Hey, now that you say it, they've become your free think tank?"

Xiao Si shook her head smugly: "Of course! This tuition was completely waived, and I even made a huge profit. If anyone asks me in the future, 'Your Majesty, where does your wisdom come from?' I'll just say—'Thank you, enemies!' They not only let me win, but they also let me win with perfect clarity!"

Zi'an was so suppressing his laughter that he suffered internal injuries.
