Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

The external reputations of both the emperor and empress in the palace dropped a bit.

After all, there is no other candidate except the Emperor and Empress who can make Prince Jing and his wife look so unhappy.

The emperor and empress who were caught in the crossfire: ...slander!

Regardless of whether it was slander or not, Shen Yao would just lie at home and play with her children. Lin Xingzhi had to work harder, getting up early and running to the palace late every day. His spirit of hard work and perseverance was undeterred by wind and snow.

emperor:……

"You can do it now. You have already taken so many things from my private vault. What else do you want?"

The emperor glared at his greedy adopted brother and thought that although this person was useful, he was too expensive. It seemed that he would have to consider it carefully in the future.

"Brother Your Majesty, please allow me to report that I have a wife and children at home, and my daily expenses are very difficult to sustain.

My Royal Brother is rich and powerful, and he has great influence over the nine states. I hope you will be tolerant and understanding."

You are the true lord of all people and the actual ruler of the entire country. What do you have to do with him, a hardworking worker?

Lin Xingzhi spoke quite frankly. He did all this for his family. Unlike the emperor who did all this for his own property, he could only earn as much as he could.

The emperor smiled speechlessly.

He covered his forehead with one hand, not knowing what to say. Well, this adopted brother of his was quite honest, but he didn't know from whom he learned the skill of speaking in a veiled manner. He was becoming more and more proficient, and seemed to have reached the realm of saying something shocking.

"roll!"

The emperor threw the memorial in his hand directly in front of Lin Xingzhi and angrily drove him away.

As Lin Xingzhi left, he picked up the memorial on the ground and handed it to Li Dehai, who had come to see him off. He said earnestly, "My royal brother, you should take care of your health. You must know that anger is harmful to your health."

Li Dehai: ...

Your Highness Prince Jing, please shut up. If you continue, his ears will be disturbed.

"Your Highness, the Emperor is troubled by the affairs of the previous dynasty and the harem, and you are always like this." He was not afraid of talking too much. He was really worried about Prince Jing's own safety and was afraid that he would be exiled to the frontier.

Lin Xingzhi waved his hands to indicate that he would not do that at all. The emperor was reluctant to part with such a useful tool like him, and who was he doing this for? "It's better to scold me than to feel depressed all the time. Eunuch Li is always serving beside my brother. I hope he can give me more advice on weekdays." After all, it was different for a brother to be in power and a nephew to be in power. It was definitely a matter of having a brother who would allow him to be free and casual.

Li Dehai nodded throughout the whole process. As the emperor's confidant, he would definitely give advice and guidance.

It is said that it is easy to see through but difficult to see through. Once a person sits in this position, he will face countless difficulties.

In the former dynasty and the harem, which one is easy to get along with?

Li Dehai couldn't help but smile bitterly. He stood in front of the hall and watched King Jing leave before turning back.

"gone?"

The emperor, who was sitting behind the desk reviewing memorials, asked casually.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing has left the palace."

Li Dehai lowered his head and tiptoed quietly to walk behind the emperor, and placed the memorial in his hand on the desk.

"he"

The emperor smiled and shook his head, knowing that some of the words were said intentionally by King Jing. Although they were clumsy, they were sincere. He was not like those greedy people in the previous dynasty who wanted to eat all the benefits without spitting out a single bit.

"I remember there are still a few pairs of red coral and pearl ornaments left in the warehouse. Pack them up and send them to Prince Jing's Mansion, along with some fox fur and deer skins that were sent down below."

After pondering for a moment, the emperor remembered that the three children in Prince Jing's Mansion were too young, so all the items they used should be selected carefully.

It just so happens that there haven't been any babies crying in the harem recently, so let's send them all over.

Li Dehai: ...

嘶

It turns out that Prince Jing is the one who is truly in the emperor's heart!

Could it be that just going into the palace every day and deliberately saying a few words to anger the emperor could achieve this effect? ​​He is truly an extraordinary person.

Li Dehai raised Lin Xingzhi's status a little higher in his mind, and planned to go back and seriously instruct the other eunuchs serving in the imperial court to be extremely respectful when meeting King Jing, because this man was really capable.

"Alas, my royal brother has a difficult time too. The various forces in the previous dynasty are fighting against each other, and the concubines in the harem all serve their own masters. There is not a single safe place in the huge palace." Even if one lives in the emperor's bedroom, he still has to remain vigilant when sleeping, always guarding against someone doing something wrong to him.

After returning to the palace, Lin Xingzhi and Shen Yao lamented the difficulties of being an emperor, but they could not blame anyone for this. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

The emperor enjoys endless power above everyone else, so shouldn't he pay something?

Shen Yao smiled and patted Lin Xingzhi's chest, reminding him that some things should be said at home, and not to tell everything outside. It's not easy for you to feel sorry for the emperor, and maybe the emperor thinks you are bored.

There are so many people in the world. If people are really given the right to choose, 99.99% of them will want power. This is determined by human nature.

No matter how free and easy one is, or how indifferent one is to fame and fortune, one cannot resist the temptation of power. It is like a poppy that exudes the smell of decadence. Once you are addicted to it, you can't leave it.

The reason why people haven’t been scammed is not because they are so alert, but because they haven’t encountered a scam that suits them.

This sentence also applies to power. As long as people are alive and have emotions, they cannot escape the fate of being seduced, exploited, dominated and manipulated.

The only difference is that some people enter the game actively, while others enter passively.

However, at noon, someone from the palace came and delivered a batch of treasures taken from the private treasury.

For example, Shen Yao decided to keep a beautiful red coral ornament that was half a person's height and carried it to the dormitory to be displayed.

"Use these fox and deer skins to make cloaks. If you don't have enough, take more from the warehouse."

Shen Yao touched the smooth and delicate fur, feeling a little moved. She wondered how many foxes she had to hunt to get such a fox fur without a single trace of color.

But speaking of foxes, Shen Yao dug out her past experiences in Jiangning City from some corner of her memory.

"System, are the scholar and fox demon from back then in the capital now?"

She is also the background of this story, a rabbit demon who was deceived by a scumbag.

system:……

The system was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "It seems not."

The story of the scholar Jiang Sheng and the fox demon Hua Yue. Because of Lin Xingzhi's interference in Jiangning City, the man and the fox almost parted ways.

Later, when they left Jiangning, the system went to pay attention to the follow-up of the story.

The fox demon Huayue chooses to return to Jiangning City, but the other demons that she has harmed make trouble for her. The scholar Jiang Sheng secretly plans to use the fox demon Huayue's money to go to Beijing to take the exam, and at the same time find a way to solve the subsequent troubles.

After that, they came to the capital and never set foot in Jiangning City. The system's attention was also attracted by other gossip, so it no longer paid attention to the affairs of the scholar and the fox demon.

"Host, perhaps the scholar has already given up on taking the exam, and the fox demon Huayue has completely separated from the scholar, and they each live a peaceful life."

Shen Yao:......

"System, would you believe this?"

system:……

Shen Yao knocked him out with a simple sentence. She smiled and said, "Forget it. I'll pay more attention to him when I have time. That scholar has an extreme personality and will not give up until he achieves his goal. The fox demon is no match for him at all."

Shen Yao had mentioned the fate of the fox demon Hua Yue before. If she didn't return to Jiangning, she could still have a good ending, but if she returned to Jiangning, she would probably be left with nothing.

After waving his hand to let the servants take the fox and deerskins away, Shen Yao turned around and called out to Lin Xingzhi.

"Yao Niang"

"behavior"

Shen Yao smiled sweetly, put her arm around Lin Xingzhi, and talked about the next arrangements for the mansion.

Their family of five needs to go to the palace for the New Year banquet, and after the New Year they have to leave Beijing for an inspection. Now there are only two months left until the New Year. Should they stay in the palace in Beijing or go to a villa outside the city for a short stay?

"This matter is up to Yao Niang to be happy."

Lin Xingzhi felt that the capital was not as comfortable as the outside of the city, but the affairs were busy at the end of the year, and Yao Niang, as the mistress of Prince Jing's Mansion, needed to come forward to deal with daily trivial matters.

Previously, because they went to the villa for a month, Yao Niang was very busy for some time, and now she is going again... Lin Xingzhi opened his mouth, thinking that the palace does not keep idle people, and those who manage it should take on their due responsibilities.

Shen Yao glared at Lin Xingzhi helplessly, but this was also a solution. It was just that these stewards had to help tighten the belt from time to time, otherwise, if they were not careful, the things in the palace would become ownerless old things.

Shen Yao thought that she would go out of the city for a short stay after finishing her busy work, but she didn't expect that plans could not change quickly. The old princess, who was in good health before, suddenly became seriously ill. When Shen Yao got the news, she had to take a car to visit Prince Yong's Mansion.

"Hmm, this taste"

The carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Yong's mansion. Just as Shen Yao was about to stand up, she was choked by the resentment that surged into the sky and sat back down.

With a frown on her face and using magic to shield her overly sharp five senses, Shen Yao got out of the car expressionlessly and let the Crown Prince's Consort who came to greet her invite her into the palace.

"Princess Jing, I'm very busy at the palace. Please forgive me."

The Crown Prince's wife looked a little embarrassed. Compared to the orderliness a few months ago, the palace was now in a mess.

How could this happen?

There is also the resentment that lingers above my head.

Shen Yao smiled and told the Crown Princess not to be so. She asked about the old princess's condition with concern, "I heard she's ill. Have you asked the imperial physician to treat her?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's wife's expression became ugly for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, but Shen Yao still caught it.

It seems that there is a hidden story here that she herself does not know.

"The imperial physician said that my mother-in-law's illness is not serious, it's just my mother-in-law herself..." The Crown Prince's wife couldn't continue speaking, because the imperial physician's original words were even more straightforward and embarrassing. He was almost pointing at the old princess and saying that she was pretending to be sick.

But the old princess acted as if she was really seriously ill and spoke nonsense without any restraint.

"Two days ago, Huining was accidentally injured while taking care of her mother-in-law," the Crown Princess spoke intermittently about the old princess's ridiculous behavior.

In particular, neither the doctor nor the imperial physician could diagnose the old princess' illness. They even invited the master from Huangjue Temple and the Taoist priest from the Taoist temple, but they still could not find anything wrong with the old princess.

Because of this, King Yong ordered that no outsiders were allowed to visit the old princess to prevent a bigger joke from happening.

Shen Yao was obviously not among the outsiders. When she came today, she was not only greeted by the Crown Prince's wife, but also by several other hostesses of Prince Yong's Mansion. Everyone greeted each other in the old princess's courtyard.

He looked up and saw a strong aura of resentment above his head. It seemed that this was indeed related to the old princess. He just didn't know whether it was the unpredictable human heart or the work of a demon.

As she stepped into the room, a rotten smell filled Shen Yao's nose. The Crown Prince's Consort seemed unable to bear it and just stood in the lobby without moving.

"Let me go, let me go, I, I, I am not a princess, not a princess..."

"No, I, I am the princess, I am the princess."

"My Lord, my Lord, save me, save me, it's not just my fault..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah"

The Crown Princess raised her hand to stop Shen Yao with an embarrassed look on her face, and whispered to herself that the old princess always yelled and ignored people when she was awake, "Princess Jing, you'd better not go over there."

If anything gets hurt or bruised, it will be the problem of Prince Yong's Mansion. Now, Prince Yong's Mansion is on the decline, while Prince Jing's Mansion is at its peak.

Simply put, they can't afford to offend.

"Don't be afraid," Shen Yao smiled and comforted the Crown Prince's wife. She walked to the bedroom door and glanced at the person who was shivering on the bed.

From the outside, Shen Yao found it hard to associate this sloppy and casual woman with the old princess, but she was a demon and could confirm it with her five senses.

嘶

It’s a little strange!

Just when Shen Yao was unable to understand, the person on the bed suddenly screamed, revealing a face full of wrinkles, with bulging eyes and full of shock.

"Old Princess?"

Shen Yao called out tentatively, but unexpectedly, this common name that had been called countless times could make the old princess even more crazy and collapsed.

"No, no, no, I'm not, I'm not, I am, I am Wan Niang."

"That's right, I'm Wanniang, not the master, not the master."

"Master, it's my fault, it's my fault, don't blame me, don't blame me."

Crying and laughing, apologizing and making a fuss, and occasionally saying meaningless words.

The Crown Prince's Consort had retreated to the door at this time and was looking outside anxiously.

There were no servants in the room. I heard it was because the old princess didn't want to, as she would make a fuss whenever someone showed up. Her niece Huining usually took care of her.

Now Huining is injured and recuperating. No one appears around the old princess. She is only seen during the three daily meals and during the night watch.

She walked forward a few steps, and while the Crown Princess was not paying attention, Shen Yao made a spell and threw it at the old princess.

"Wanniang, what's your last name? And who is the master you're talking about?"

"I, I don't have a surname. My master is the young lady, the young lady of the Wei family."

Shen Yao tilted her head. The old princess' maiden name was Wei. What a coincidence.

"Qiu Wan, I am Qiu Wan, the young lady's servant. The young lady didn't want to marry. It was the prince, the Yong King, who secretly found a master to marry the young lady..."

The old princess spoke incoherently, but because of the blessing of the mantra, all the information she said was correct.

Shen Yao listened and slowly pieced together the causes and consequences of the old princess's illness.

Shen Yao:......

I thought there was some hidden secret, but it turns out it's just a case of evil getting punished by evil.

Disappointing!

The effect of the mantra disappeared, and the old princess, who had overdrawn too much energy, fell asleep. Shen Yao raised her hand with a faint expression and lightly swept the hem of her clothes, then turned around to wake up the prince's wife who had been distracted for who knows how long.

Sighing, Shen Yao said frankly that the old princess was tired and had already gone to bed.

Go to sleep?

The Crown Prince's wife's eyes lit up slightly, and she said it was a pity, but there was no trace of that on her face. Instead, she looked relieved.

Yes, the sleeping old princess is at the mercy of others without any noise harassment, and the Crown Prince's wife wishes it would always be like this.
