There are not many household affairs in the palace, and most of the money is spent on daily expenses.

Shen Yao took a quick look at the accounts sent by the housekeeper, and finally pointed out a few unreasonable ones and asked them to write them down.

"Host, why don't you take out all these fat fish?"

The system found that as long as there is a certain amount of wealth in the family, there will be a situation where the servants bully the masters.

"No, wait a little longer. Clear waters will attract fish. We can't really leave them with nothing."

So what incentive do these people have to work? Doesn't selling themselves to the royal family mean they can't accumulate their own wealth? Otherwise, if they get no reward regardless of whether they work or not, wouldn't that just give some people an excuse to just sit back and do nothing?

"As long as it doesn't exceed your expectations, this little money won't matter."

Shen Yao got up and led people to the house next door. When they arrived, they encountered three children crying and making a fuss, and no matter how the nanny and the servants tried to comfort them, it was useless.

Shen Yao quickly reached out and held the children one by one in her arms and coaxed them softly.

Sure enough, the child who was howling with his mouth wide open slowly closed his mouth, and finally lay in Shen Yao's arms and blinked his eyes.

Being naughty!

"Bring them here to feed. They slept too long in the afternoon. Let them play for a while."

Shen Yao's three children are different from other children. Although they are mixed-race, they are human. Because they are constantly nourished by demonic energy while in the womb, they are healthy and energetic.

In other words, he is a good candidate for martial arts practice!

The wet nurse and the servants were terrified, but under the princess's command, they finally calmed the young master down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

call

Although the monthly salary is high, the young master is really good at finding trouble. It is really a sweet burden.

During the night rest, Lin Xingzhi brought back the news that their family would need to go to the palace in three days.

"Three days from now?"

Shen Yao tilted her head and looked at the weather outside the window to confirm the time.

Lin Xingzhi smiled bitterly and nodded, "This time I'll be able to take you and the children to the palace for the New Year."

The New Year's palace banquet is coming soon, and all members of the royal family will have to go into the palace to suffer the cold.

Given Lin Xingzhi's physical condition, every time he went to the palace, he would spend half of his life. Last year, he escaped a disaster because he was not in the capital. Now his family of five has returned to the capital. For a family banquet like this one that has been continued to this day, everyone has to attend unless they are bedridden.

However, this year Lin Xingzhi's family is a little special. The three children are young, and driving the car all the way is extremely tiring. If they can privately beg the emperor for mercy, they will most likely be able to avoid this year's New Year's palace banquet.

Shen Yao nodded when she heard this. It turned out that they were going to enter the palace three days later in order to use the back door.

Lin Xingzhi felt sorry for this. When he was alone, he was used to doing whatever he wanted, but now that he had a family, he had to be careful and made his wife and children suffer as well.

"behavior"

"Yao Niang"

Shen Yao smiled and held Lin Xingzhi's wrist, saying that she and her child had never been to the Liguo Palace, and wondered whether the palace was as magnificent as the folk rumors said, and whether all the people living there were extremely wealthy.

Lin Xingzhi was diverted to the topic and talked to Shen Yao about his childhood in the palace.

"The previous emperor had many concubines. When my brother succeeded to the throne, he moved some of them to other courtyards outside the city. The rest lived outside the palace with his children, and the last part lived in the palace of the Concubine Dowager."

Lin Xingzhi recalled that the last time he entered the palace was to express his gratitude after receiving the imperial edict to leave the capital.

The palace was indeed tall and majestic, but the atmosphere was depressing, and the people living in it were all as delicate as dolls, without any trace of human life.

"When my brother ascended the throne, the court was unstable and the people were rife with resentment. To govern smoothly, my brother had no choice but to marry the daughter of the then Prime Minister as his empress.

Of course, the Imperial Concubine, the Four Concubines, the Concubines and Beauties, my brother has taken in almost all the women of marriageable age from the families of officials in the court."

For this reason, the emperor's harem is not much easier than that of the previous emperor.

The concubines there were all beautiful but cruel and ruthless. When he left the palace, he often heard about concubines having miscarriages and their children dying.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao didn't feel too much about this. After all, she had been to the palace several times and won the harem struggles and became the final winner.

The mess left by the late emperor was too big, and the emperor did not have many bargaining chips. Marriage in the court was a very useful method. After all, he only needed to lower himself to coax a woman, which was much easier than the swordplay in the court.

However, doing so is a way of pleasing others. It may not sound good if you say it out loud, but it works. After all, the emperor gives hope to everyone in the former dynasty and the harem equally. Otherwise, the palace fighting would not be so intense. He must think that his own people can sit in that position.

"Times have changed. I wonder how my royal brother is doing now?" Lin Xingzhi shook his head, thinking that when he first left the capital, the harem was slightly more peaceful.

This is because the descendants of several high-ranking concubines have already been established, and the remaining concubines have become bargaining chips for these people. All parties are cautious and dare not be too arrogant.

"Everything will be known once Xingzhi enters the palace," Shen Yao raised her hand and touched the side of Lin Xingzhi's face. She felt that the emperor had always lived a good life and would not be disgusted even by selling his body. It was just that he was busy day and night, and she wondered if his body could bear it.

Shen Yao covered her mouth and chuckled as she made malicious guesses about the emperor's current health condition.

When Lin Xingzhi heard the noise, he was puzzled as to why his wife was laughing so happily.

He wanted to ask, but Shen Yao blocked his mouth with her lips.

The next second, he turned from passive to active, Lin Xingzhi picked up Shen Yao and returned to the bed, casually lowered the bed curtain and undressed.

The clothes she had put on became messy again. Shen Yao looked at the handsome face in front of her breathlessly and couldn't help kissing it again and again.

Hey

Although love brain is a bit scary, this blushing and heart-pounding feeling is addictive.

Now I understand why human-demon love has become mainstream in this world? It's the sheer interspecies excitement that makes both humans and demons unable to resist drowning in it.

system:……

What are you talking about? They are serious missionaries!

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao climbed out of bed again, thinking that it was really not good to be so indulgent.

Besides, Lin Xingzhi's body was not fully recovered, but with Shen Yao as his nutrition package, Lin Xingzhi could maintain his health by constantly replenishing himself.

"Why does it feel a bit like taking yin to replenish yang?" The key is that she is the one being taken.

Although this method of replenishing yin and yang has no harm to Shen Yao's body (not counting the lack of energy from playing too late every day), if it happens all the time, Shen Yao will feel an inexplicable sense of indulgence in her heart.

Is it a bit like throwing away a broken jar?

Shen Yao shook her head. After confirming with the system again and again that all this was normal, she could only restrain herself and Lin Xingzhi from engaging in daily behavior and pay attention to the frequency of their sexual intercourse to prevent overindulgence from harming their bodies.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

"Don't worry, Yaoniang, Xingzhi, Xingzhi..." Lin Xingzhi's face flushed red, the overly straightforward words caught him off guard.

Shen Yao: ...It's over, it's a bit delicious, and I love it more and more!

Severely despising her own lustful behavior, Shen Yao added, "It was Yao Niang who was in love with her." They were all responsible for this matter. The normal love between a man and a woman was injected with an infinitely magnified aphrodisiac. The more they loved each other, the more difficult it was to resist. How could this be the responsibility of one party? You couldn't blame the two of them for being truly in love.

…………

Three days later, the family of five got up early, dressed neatly, and rode a carriage into the palace.

Looking at the increasingly tall and magnificent city walls in front of him, Shen Yao had a moment of resonance with his previous self.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, Your Highness Princess Jing, please step out of the carriage and walk into the palace."

This is the rule. Anyone (except the emperor) who wants to enter the palace must walk.

Lin Xingzhi took the hand handed to him by Shen Yao, held it tightly, and signaled the eunuch to lead the way.

"Princess Princess, the Queen is already waiting for you at Fengyi Palace."

Shen Yao glanced at the woman who was dressed as a palace maid and spoke slowly, then smiled and let go of Lin Xingzhi's tightly clasped hands.

The three children naturally had to accompany Lin Xingzhi to see the emperor, while she, a woman, was summoned by the queen.

Lin Xingzhi patted her soothingly, and then said that they and their family would have dinner with the emperor later, "The emperor's sister-in-law has a gentle temperament. Yao Niang will know when she goes there."

Shen Yao:......

It was previously said that the queen was arrogant and violent, and liked to take out her anger on the concubines in the harem who had no backing. This person really can say whatever he wants.

"Please lead the way, young lady."

Shen Yao smiled and nodded to the woman in palace maid's clothes, then turned and left the front hall.

Fengyi Palace was not far from the front hall where the emperor lived and worked. Not long after they left, the woman said with a smile that they had arrived at Fengyi Palace.

"Please, Princess, enter the palace on your own."

"Thank you for leading the way, young lady."

Shen Yao smiled and took off the bracelet on her wrist and handed it to the palace maid from Fengyi Palace in front of her. Then she raised her hand to straighten her slightly messy clothes and walked into the hall calmly.

The queen's surname is Jin and her name is Zhiyi.

She is the apple of the eye of the Prime Minister of the dynasty. Just by hearing her name, you can tell what her parents expect of her. Unfortunately, she has a hot temper and is not very tolerant. Her behavior is completely opposite to her name.

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live long and happily."

Shen Yao respectfully bowed and greeted the lady in palace dress sitting on the chair in the center of the hall.

"Princess, please don't be so polite. We are all family. There is no need to be so polite."

The woman in palace dress raised her hand fakely, pretending to let the maid come over to support her.

"Your Majesty is considerate, and we are grateful for your kindness," Shen Yao smiled and sat down below the woman in palace dress, and softly spoke about what she had seen and heard on the road.

The queen had not left the palace for a long time, and Shen Yao was the princess consort, so there was no conflict of interest between them, so she was in a good mood and chatted with her for a few minutes.

However, most of the time it was Shen Yao who was looking for topics, and the Queen mostly just nodded in agreement, with her unique arrogance, looking down on everyone equally (even the Emperor).

"Your Majesty, the Emperor invites you to the front hall."

A palace maid hurried into the hall outside the door and walked up to the queen and whispered something in a low voice.

The queen smiled and stood up, saying that they were going to the front hall to have dinner.

Shen Yao was honest and obedient throughout the whole process, acting as if she did what the queen said. When everyone arrived at the more orderly and crowded front hall, she finally found her backbone.

Lin Xingzhi's expression was even more excited than when they separated. Shen Yao blinked, walked over and quietly raised her hand to tug at his sleeve.

Ok?

"Just now, the abbot of Huangjue Temple said that Yan'er and Jue'er are suitable for cultivation. When they grow up, they can enter Huangjue Temple as lay disciples.

Jing'er is a girl, so it's not easy for Huangjue Temple to accept her as a disciple. However, Taoist Changsheng is willing to take her as a registered disciple, but he practices in Zhongnan Mountain, which is still too far from the capital." Lin Xingzhi was not very reassured about sending his daughter there.

"Yan'er and the others are still young, why are you so nervous right now?"

Shen Yao shook her head helplessly, turned her head to look at the three children who were sleeping soundly in the arms of their nanny, and said, "It's time to go to dinner."

Although the emperor specially prepared this welcoming banquet for their family, the protagonists at the banquet were not the couple.

Shen Yao lowered his head to eat the food in the bowl and plate, and glanced sideways at the queen whose expression changed. He thought that this time he finally didn't have to enter the palace to compete for favor. Otherwise, facing the wife who would lose her temper at any time, the difficulty of survival in the harem would increase sharply.

It was already late when they came out of the palace. The couple were wearing cloaks and were followed by a large group of people.

In view of the successful completion of the Floating Cloud City mission, Lin Xingzhi received a commendation from the emperor. Not only did he pass on the extra income he earned on the road, he also robbed the emperor's private treasury, including the money for the birth, third day bath, full month, hundred day, etc. of his three children, and packed them all up and brought them back to the palace.

"Yao Niang, it's a pity that our wedding wasn't held grandly in Floating Cloud City earlier. Now that we're back in the capital, my brother has agreed to have the Imperial Household Department reorganize the arrangements. The wedding is tentatively scheduled for March next year."

In addition to the fact that all three children have a good future, Lin Xingzhi is even happier that his marriage with Yao Niang is going smoothly.

Parents to enrich people.

The two of them met in Fuyun City, so it would be difficult for them to get married in Beijing.

Even though Lin Xingzhi later fabricated a fake wedding to report to the emperor, it was still a fake after all. He felt sorry for Yao Niang and was unwilling to let her suffer.

Now that he had finally accomplished something he had been worried about, Lin Xingzhi felt that his life was without regrets.

After Lin Xingzhi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Yao into his arms, burying his head in the crook of Shen Yao's neck, "Yao Niang, I'm so happy." After the wedding, they would be a real couple.

"Today in the front hall, my royal brother was accompanied by several masters and Taoist priests. I felt a little uneasy in my heart. Fortunately, the result was good. Yan'er and the other two were praised repeatedly by the presiding master and Taoist priest Changsheng," Lin Xingzhi spoke a little incoherently. It was obvious that he had suppressed too much at the banquet, and now that he had left the palace, he could finally let it out.

Shen Yao patted Lin Xingzhi's back with one hand and continued speaking along with what Lin Xingzhi was saying.

The scene should have been full of tenderness, but somehow the atmosphere between the two became increasingly ambiguous and tense.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao felt something was wrong and quickly stopped Lin Xingzhi from getting close to her.

Lin Xingzhi put his handsome face close to Shen Yao with a wronged look on his face, "Yao Niang, Madam..."

Shen Yao:......

Even if one has a heart of stone, he cannot resist the pleading of a beauty, not to mention that the beauty is indeed beautiful. Shen Yao, who is obsessed with lust, cannot bear it and finally rolls into bed with her.

The consequence of indulgence is waking up late the next day.

Shen Yao rubbed his sore forehead and recalled the various scenes of last night's antics. Even a veteran who had been through many battles would feel ashamed.

Tu

She didn't realize how impatient I was. Could it be that she would die of exhaustion in this world?
