After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Is this ginseng?"

I saw a plant that looked like a human lying in Yang Liu's hand.

"Yes, Mo Yi and I found several trees, and this one is the biggest!" Yang Liu showed proudly.

"This is a treasure. What about the others? Take them out and let us have a look." Hongliu looked at them curiously.

"We have marked the others and will dig them up when they grow bigger."

"Aren't you afraid that others will find out when they enter the mountain?"

"In the past, some people might have gone in, but later on, it was said that those who went in either died or went crazy. The villagers were so scared that they took a detour, so the trees on the mountain grew denser and denser."

"The villagers say that there are not only ferocious beasts in the mountains, but also ghosts that can seduce souls."

"So this mountain is a great treasure." Shen Yunjin's eyes sparkled.

If she wasn't so heavy, she would have wanted to go and see it now.

"Go wash your hands quickly. We will have elm seed rice tonight." Jinzhi put down the embroidery in her hands and carefully put away the ginseng.

Elm seed rice! Yang Liu's eyes lit up. In her memory, this was something she only ate when she was a child.

Shen Yunjin required that the produce in the palace be used to meet the needs of the people in the palace first, and the rest be sold outside.

Zhong Bo specially found two smart guys and asked them to take the things to the market to sell.

The two boys found that there was too much competition at the market and there were a lot of people bargaining.

After the two of them discussed it, they went to find the purchasing agent of the wealthy family and directly wholesaled the things in the mansion to the purchasing agent.

Not only is the price higher than what you’d pay at the market, but it also doesn’t take time.

All the money earned from the sales was handed over to Zhong Bo, and then the accounts were divided every seven days.

Because he was a family son who was sold, everyone in the mansion knew how much he earned every day.

Although it will take seven days to divide the profits, everyone is more motivated.

Soon, rumors about the Prince of Qi's Palace spread in the capital again.

"Is the Qi Palace going to collapse? The servants are all out selling things."

"Is this true? This is a royal palace after all, how can they not be able to afford food?"

"If you don't believe me, look, those are the servants in Prince Qi's mansion. They come out to sell things every day."

"What are you selling? Let's go take a look."

"They say it's produced in the palace. They've sold elm seeds and locust flowers before, and now they're selling bamboo shoots."

"This prince is even poorer than us ordinary people. He can't even support his servants."

"That's right. No matter what my family says, there is no reason for servants to sell things."

Some people have found psychological balance. It seems that the King of Qi is not even living as well as him.

More and more people gathered around, buying a little of whatever the servants were selling.

It felt like he had spent a fortune and slapped the prince on the face. It felt so good!

After the emperor finished his work that day, he thought that he had not visited Concubine Ning for a long time, so he turned over Concubine Ning's name card.

Because of what happened last time, the emperor ignored Concubine Ning for a while.

Now that the emperor had finally arrived, Concubine Ning served him very gently and attentively.

She was even bold enough to try new positions with the emperor, which made the emperor very satisfied.

Afterwards, she lay lazily and weakly in the emperor's arms, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are so powerful. I will not give in. I want to see who wins and who loses."

The emperor scratched her nose and said, "You little devil, do you still want to defeat me?"

Concubine Ning hooked her hands around the emperor's neck and twisted her body coquettishly, her full breasts rubbing against the emperor.

"No way, Your Majesty is so powerful. I am just worried that you will dislike me."

The emperor laughed out loud with joy.

Concubine Ning buried her head in the emperor's arms shyly.

"Okay, I'll satisfy you and see who's better, you or me!"

The two of them quarreled for a while, and only Ning Guiren's constant exclamations could be heard.

"Ah, Your Majesty, you are so bad. I can't take it anymore!"

"Ah, I beg for mercy. I admit defeat!"

"Ah, Your Majesty, please spare me, ah!"

......

After the lovemaking stopped, the emperor lay down with Concubine Ning in his arms, feeling satisfied.

The daily disputes in the court made him exhausted, and the concubines in the harem were all taught by the queen in a very rigid and boring way.

Only when he came to Concubine Ning's place did he feel that he had endless energy.

This is also the reason why he dotes on Concubine Ning.

"Your Majesty, how does the chicken slices with fresh bamboo shoots taste tonight?"

"Not bad, fresh and refreshing." The emperor responded nonchalantly with his eyes closed.

"I heard from the servants that these are bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest in Prince Qi's mansion. Otherwise, how could they be so fresh and tender?"

Concubine Ning covered her mouth and said with a smile.

What? Prince Qi's Mansion? The emperor thought he was hallucinating!

Concubine Ning pretended to have just noticed the emperor's surprise, and she immediately looked regretful.

"Oh, it's all my fault for talking too much. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

As she spoke, she slowly pretended to stand up and kowtow to the emperor.

"My beloved concubine, are you talking about the fifth brother? The fifth brother sells bamboo shoots in his house?" The emperor looked surprised.

"The emperor doesn't know? It's all over the place. It's said that the concubine of the Prince of Qi doesn't know how to manage the household. The servants have no money to eat, so they sell the food in the mansion to outsiders."

"I heard that tree leaves were sold before. Alas, this palace was once a good place, but Concubine Shen brought disgrace to the royal family.

The emperor should divorce this daughter-in-law and choose a good one for the prince of Qi."

Concubine Ning took the opportunity to flatter Shen Yunjin.

This concubine seemed to be noncompetitive, but in fact she enjoyed all the favor of the King of Qi.

That's why her sister Ning Ruyan took the risk and threw herself into the arms of the prince.

Someone as beloved as her sister ended up being poisoned to death by her relatives.

However, her sister's death made her realize that she and her sister were just tools for the family to climb up.

When they need you, they will give you all the love in the world, and when they don’t need you anymore, they will abandon you like a worn-out shoe.

The emperor closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was asleep.

In fact, he was struggling between his own conscience and his own desires.

The King of Qi favored a palace maid after getting drunk, and unexpectedly the maid became pregnant.

Later, the palace maid gave birth to the King of Qi.

When the Prince of Qi was three years old, he entered the Taishufang to study with other princes.

He had a photographic memory and could understand things immediately, so he was very much loved by the Taifu at that time.

The emperor once tested his son's academic performance and felt that his son was smarter than himself.

He often brought him with him, and sometimes even tested him with questions from the court.

Although he was young at that time and did not understand state affairs, he always had his own opinions.

The emperor felt quite regretful and lamented to Eunuch An that it would have been better if the Prince of Qi was born to the Queen.

Later, rumors spread in the palace that the Prince of Qi was not the emperor's son, but the son of a palace maid.

Emperors have always been suspicious. After listening to this, the more the emperor looked at the King of Qi, the more he felt that he was not like himself.

With his tacit approval, the queen sent someone to give the palace maid a cup of poisoned wine.

The King of Qi was also driven out of the palace.

If it weren't for the spring hunt, he wouldn't have noticed his son.

Concubine Ning was right in saying that he couldn't let Prince Qi's Mansion do anything that would bring shame to the royal family.

He turned over and got out of bed, "Xiao Anzi, draft an edict!"
