"The Queen? She caused trouble and displeased my brother, who is now in a stalemate with the Jin family."

The retirement of the Prime Minister does not mean that the Jin family has no one available in the court.

In fact, the Jin family has always been very powerful, and the queen has given birth to a legitimate son. As long as he does not die prematurely and there are no principled issues, he will be the next heir to the throne.

After listening to Lin Xingzhi's words, Shen Yao felt that the trouble caused by the queen this time was probably not small. Otherwise, why would the emperor have to stalemate with the Jin family, as it involved the previous dynasty.

"The Queen took advantage of the Mantis Demon's rampage to deal with a group of favored concubines.

Of course, the most important thing is that one of them is already pregnant."

Shen Yao was even more confused by what Lin Xingzhi said. "The concubines in the palace are of humble origins, and most of them have high-ranking concubines standing behind them. However, the high-ranking concubines all have children, so even if the queen did this, it wouldn't make the emperor so angry."

Because it's not cost-effective.

The fact that the emperor can take so many concubines into the palace shows that there is no such thing as true love.

The harem is like a huge Gu breeding farm. Whoever can survive Chanyeol’s fighting will be the most powerful Gu and the final winner.

Lin Xingzhi showed a cold smile at the corner of his lips, and nodded, "In theory, this is true, but the mistake is that the descendants of high-ranking concubines are not ambitious. Some of these deceased concubines are girls from side branches of the family." In other words, their status is a little lower, but they are not soft-hearted people who can be bullied.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao raised her hand and touched her hair. "Queen, is there something wrong with the eldest prince?"

Although the queen has a bad temper and acts arrogantly, she still has the necessary decency. For example, even if the queen wanted to do some things, she would not use such rough means. Now it seems more like the queen has no choice but to take the initiative.

Lin Xingzhi looked at Shen Yao with admiration, thinking that his wife was smart, unlike other people who needed repeated reminders before they realized the problem.

“Indeed, the eldest prince was frightened before leaving the palace, and his health is not good.

The Queen is getting older, and having suffered injuries during childbirth, she chose to take this risk to prevent power from falling into someone else's hands."

The Queen cut off the other opponents' trump cards from the root and put everyone on the same level. The reason why she was successful this time was that she acted decisively, without all the twists and turns before, and it also reduced the reaction time of the high-ranking concubines.

By the time those smart people realize something is wrong, it’s too late to do anything about it.

After all, the emperor ordered everyone to leave together. The high-ranking concubines' status in the harem was second only to the queen, so they left very quickly.

"Is the eldest prince's shock syndrome serious?" This is the key point next.

Lin Xingzhi held Shen Yao's wrist and shook it, "The imperial physician diagnosed that she needs to be treated slowly."

"Recuperate slowly?" Shen Yao raised the corners of her lips slightly, lowering her eyes to hide the emotions in them. "The eldest prince is already sixteen years old, and in two years he will be married to the appointed Crown Princess." Not to mention that before the marriage he has to balance the relationships between brothers and sisters in the palace, and after the marriage he has to enter the court to participate in politics, take over the power of his mother's family and his wife's family, and cultivate his own confidants. How can she have the time to recuperate him slowly?

What the imperial physician said was nothing but halfhearted words of comfort.

No wonder the Queen was in such a hurry to act. She was afraid that if she delayed, something might happen and cause some unnecessary trouble.

Lin Xingzhi obviously thought the same as Shen Yao, and could only sigh helplessly. Everyone had their own stance here, and as bystanders, they couldn't say much.

“The Queen will be fine, but the Emperor should give her the cold shoulder for a while.

Otherwise, the Empress will act arbitrarily in the harem, and the Emperor will have no way to explain to the other families."

What? The queen’s son is important, but the sons of other concubines are not?

You have to know that when the emperor took in many concubines, he almost took over the entire court. This was sending a signal to all forces to take power. Otherwise, how could the emperor take control of the entire court so quickly.

The previous cause has produced the current result, and even if it is bitter, you have to eat it.

The two men's conversation about the queen ended here, because whether the queen's son could ascend to the throne or not would not affect the daily operation of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Shen Yao and Lin Xingzhi put most of their energy into their three children. Lin Shengyan, Lin Shengjue, and Lin Shengjing, the three little ones were growing at an astonishing rate.

While other children were still crying and waiting to be hugged, they were already crawling and playing happily, and even didn't feel anything when they fell to the ground. Their tough and thick-skinned nature made Lin Xingzhi wonder if there was anything wrong with them.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao rolled her eyes at Lin Xingzhi, who was daydreaming, and thought to herself that they had all been nourished and polished by the demonic energy. Not to mention normal fighting and playing, even if they were thrown from the roof, they would only get superficial injuries.

Otherwise, the abbot of Huangjue Temple and the Taoist priest Changsheng cannot be said to be good candidates for cultivation. In terms of talent and understanding for humans, they already have talent and have already walked ahead of most people long ago.

As for comprehension? Shen Yao had put so much effort into giving birth to them, how could she possibly max it out without taking any medicine? It was just routine.

Back Garden of Prince Jing's Mansion

In spring and summer, the gardens filled with colorful flowers are filled with refreshing fragrance.

After breakfast, Shen Yao took the three wobbly little ones out for a walk.

The three little ones, who were not very steady on their feet but were able to carry and build things, stumbled along the way, causing the wet nurse and servants around them to worry a lot.

Only the carefree old mother didn't care at all. Instead, she waved her hand and asked these people to stay away to give the three children more space to move around. How can children grow up without falling and fighting?

Wet nurse and servants: ...Having said that, isn't it a little too small?

"mother concubine"

"Concubine, concubine"

"Flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers"

The three children spoke a little unclearly, after all, they were almost one year old.

Shen Yao raised her hand and picked a few beautiful flowers and placed them on the heads of the three children. The children's pink and white smiling faces softened her heart.

The maid brought a mat on the ground, and Shen Yao slowly sat down while fanning herself with a round fan. She then told them to bring food, as the three little ones would surely make a fuss when they were tired from playing.

The sun is shining and the air is fresh.

Shen Yao wore a beautiful tassel hairpin on her head, which swayed slightly like a fluttering butterfly. Her childish voice, accompanied by bursts of laughter, made the whole garden lively and warm.

Lin Xingzhi finished his official duties and just arrived in the garden when he heard the voices of his wife and children.

The corners of his pursed lips curved unconsciously, and Lin Xingzhi quickened his pace. As his vision suddenly widened, he ran straight into a pair of clear and watery eyes.

The owner of the eyes had a loving look on his face and waved at Lin Xingzhi, "Come quickly."

Lin Xingzhi: ...

His heart in his chest began beating faster and faster unconsciously. Lin Xingzhi raised his hand to cover it, took a deep breath, and then quickly walked over to sit next to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao blinked maliciously, and saw that Lin Xingzhi's cheeks, which were originally fair and clear, quickly became rosy, and it seemed to be getting redder.

puff

Shen Yao couldn't help but cover the corner of her mouth. She was really amused by Lin Xingzhi's shy look. How could a married man be so shameless?

Lin Xingzhi helplessly raised his hand and held Shen Yao in his arms. He lowered his eyes and whispered in the beauty's ear. The married couple flirted in front of the servants.

"Nonsense!"

"Take it seriously!"

Shen Yao glared at the prudish Lin Xingzhi and snorted softly, "The Emperor asked you to leave the capital, but have you decided when to leave?"

Lin Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, and the strands of hair from his temples touched Shen Yao's cheek, adding to the ambiguity between them. "After Yan'er and the others' first birthday party."

Shen Yao raised her hand and gently tapped the tip of Lin Xingzhi's nose, "Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will be dissatisfied?"

"Yao Niang's happiness is the most important thing." The emperor is unhappy? He doesn't live with the emperor.

Lin Xingzhi doesn't care about the emperor's face at all now, but that's only in such small matters. In the real big matters, he still has to maintain his duties as a monarch and a subject.

Since mid-March, when the two officially got married under the arrangement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Shen Yao's identity as Princess of Jing was confirmed, and the low-key nature of the Jing Palace became more and more obvious.

For example, nowadays, apart from staying in the palace, Shen Yao spends the rest of her time in several villas on the outskirts of the city. Occasionally, she goes out to visit several shops in the south of the city that specialize in serving the wealthy and powerful.

In such a comfortable and leisurely life, as long as they don't commit any serious treasonous mistakes, the emperor will not care about them at all.

The two of them were still flirting here, while the three little ones who were having fun next to them were spinning around and fighting with each other.

The older ones didn't give in, the younger ones didn't cry, and everyone's faces turned red and they refused to admit defeat.

In the end, Shen Yao couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Lin Xingzhi to manually separate them.

I don't know what's going on. They fight together, and then they look for each other again after they separate.

Maybe this is telepathy between the triplets? It's quite curious.

…………

Time came when the triplets were born.

At that time in Jiangning City, Shen Yao's life was not difficult, but it scared Lin Xingzhi who was waiting beside her. Now, a year has passed unknowingly, and they have returned to Beijing to live.

In an ordinary family, the first birthday party for three children born in the same twin would not be perfunctory, not to mention that they were born in the royal family, which was a rare auspicious sign of multiple births in the royal history. The emperor alone could not let them keep a low profile.

The Imperial Household Department came out again, and all sorts of items were delivered to Prince Jing's residence. The entire front and back yards were decorated anew, and the written invitations were sent out one after another.

On the day of the first birthday party, three children dressed like little red envelopes were brought out by Shen Yao herself.

The emperor was unable to come due to state importance, but the rewards he sent were delivered by his personal eunuch, and the decree was read out in public, showing the importance given to the royal palace.

Shen Yao and Lin Xingzhi acted separately, one stayed in the front yard to greet the courtiers and scattered royal family members, and the other stayed in the backyard to accompany the relevant family members. After all, women don't have many topics to talk about, and offspring happens to be the one that is least likely to make mistakes.

As a mother of three children, no matter what Shen Yao says, it is regarded as a golden rule by everyone. This shows how much women in ancient times valued having many children and good fortune.

"Your Highness Princess is so young, yet she already has three children. I really envy you."

"Yes, it's difficult for my royal family to have children. The prince only has two daughters so far, and I don't know what to do."

"Over the years, I don't know how many temples outside the city have gone bankrupt, and how much incense money has been collected. If this continues, I will have no choice but to come to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor."

"..."

Every household has a title to inherit, and they sincerely hope to have a son.

There are not many heirs who die in the palace, but the princes outside the palace treat them as treasures. However, they are still no match for the emperor's ability.

Before, because Lin Xingzhi was in poor health and had few relatives, they could still make fun of him in private. But now that Lin Xingzhi has turned the tables, who can they turn to for justice?

I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but some owners of royal palaces were wondering if it was really a miracle that they left the capital to work for the emperor. Otherwise, how could a sickly man have both a son and a daughter after leaving the capital?

Shen Yao felt helpless listening to everyone's compliments and the inquiries, both open and covert. It was impossible to say that she was gifted and had cheats.

After all, this is her innate talent for survival. If other people don't give birth, they will at most suffer, but if she doesn't give birth, she will have to do it directly.

After busily sending away these troublesome fellows, Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to ask someone to go to the front yard to invite the prince.

When Lin Xingzhi came back, he was still a little shaky, and he walked unsteadily. The smell of alcohol seemed to be clinging to his body.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao could only help the person go to the bathroom to wash. Although there were some unexpected situations during the process, it was already dark when the two came out.

But compared to the affectionate eyes and the lingering atmosphere between the two, it was obvious that a less conventional daily life was more to their liking.

System: ...Shameless!

The shameless Shen Yao and Lin Xingzhi do things that are not suitable for children every day.

Shen Yao, who had already given up, no longer suppressed her influenced nature, but instead learned a different lesson from it.

After the three children’s first birthday parties, Lin Xingzhi began to prepare to leave Beijing.

The town we are going to this time is very close to the capital, and the round trip will only take a month.

Considering that the three children's activity level increased significantly after they were able to walk, Lin Xingzhi went alone this time and told Shen Yao that if she encountered any problems in Beijing, she could go to the palace to ask the Queen for help.

"Queen?"

During the first birthday banquet, he did ask the eunuchs to send out rewards, but they were much more restrained than before.

Shen Yao rarely heard any news about the queen this year. She only knew that she had been staying in Fengyi Palace to recuperate, and even the daily greetings from the concubines in the harem had been stopped for a long time.

Lin Xingzhi nodded, "The Emperor has already reached an agreement with the Jin family, and the Empress can move around as before.

However, as we have learned from the past, just because the Jin family was able to pull it off once doesn't mean they will be able to pull it off a second or third time. Therefore, the Queen must restrain her temper, cultivate her character, and learn how to become a qualified Queen.

Shen Yao:......

Tut tut

What Lin Xingzhi said was to show that the queen had done a bad job before, and had lost both her duty and her status. If she wanted to hold on to her position as queen, she had to learn to judge the situation and not make the same mistake again.

"I understand"

A queen wearing a tight hoop would at least be safe for a long time. If someone came to the palace for help, the queen could not ignore it, even if it was just to save face.

Well, it’s pretty good. At least the harem is safe and the front court can do more serious work!
