The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

Three months later, the current emperor finally got married and named an unknown woman as empress.

There were objections in the court, but the emperor was tough and most of the powerful ministers were his staunch supporters. So the court officials had no choice but to back down and request to expand the imperial harem so that the emperor could have more children.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty turned around and brought out a little boy who was a little over three years old, saying that this was his eldest son, and happily announced: "My crown prince is truly intelligent, and he can now read three hundred characters!"

The crowd looked at each other, speechless. Just a moment ago he was the eldest son, how did he become the crown prince in the blink of an eye?

And where did this son come from? They followed His Majesty in his campaigns, how come they were kept in the dark?

For a moment, everyone began to doubt themselves, wondering if they were truly His Majesty's confidants.

Otherwise, how could they not even know of the Crown Prince's existence!

Seeing the ministers looking like fools, Shen Yanzheng coughed lightly in dissatisfaction. The Minister of Rites stepped forward first: "His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed intelligent, much like His Majesty! Your Majesty, shall we hold an investiture ceremony for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Everyone inwardly cursed the sycophant, while the Imperial Astronomical Bureau official quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this humble subject will select an auspicious day!"

Shen Yanzheng was satisfied: "I'll do as you say!"

The three-year-old Xiaobai already knows three hundred characters. As the mother of the country, Changning naturally cannot be illiterate. Shen Yanzheng is very interested in this teaching task and even added a seat for her in the Long'an area of ​​his imperial study.

While he was reviewing memorials, Chang Ning practiced calligraphy. As he practiced, he started to daydream. His handwriting wasn't very good, but he did draw a lot of messy little figures.

A moment later, Shen Yanzheng came over, picked her up and placed her on his lap, then sat in her seat.

This was the reward he set for himself: half an hour of work, half an hour to spend with his wife, and to teach her to read and write.

He put his arms around Chang Ning's waist, rested his head on her shoulder, looked at the little figure she had drawn, and asked, "What is this?"

Chang Ning pointed to a tiny, almost falling-down figure and said, "This is you."

He then pointed to another compact little figure and said, "This is me."

Apart from a circle that could barely be identified as a head, everything else was just a blob of ink. However, Shen Yanzheng didn't mind and was happy to play this childish game with her. He asked, "So what are we doing?"

"They're arguing!"

Why are you arguing?

Chang Ning said, "Because I don't want to learn to read, you're forcing me to!"

Shen Yanzheng then kissed her: "How about we stop learning once you know a thousand characters, okay? Otherwise, what if the palace servants deceive you?"

Although the harem is currently empty, there are still many affairs to attend to. Even with dedicated personnel in charge, there are bound to be some matters that require Chang Ning's review. Shen Yanzheng can help her, but there are always times when he cannot attend to everything.

For example, during festivals, the Empress would always receive female relatives and noblewomen separately.

Chang Ning scoffed: "You can find someone else, like a princess from a previous dynasty!"

Shen Yanzheng immediately knew where the problem lay. Someone must have been gossiping in front of her. Even though they were imprisoned, they were still restless. She would find a reason to kill the entire royal family of the previous dynasty, or exile them to Lingnan to grow mangoes.

"Baby, there's no such thing as a princess. You're the only one in my heart. Come see for yourself, okay?"

He then pressed Chang Ning's hand to his chest, saying, "Baby, feel it!"

Chang Ning blushed and patted him, saying, "This is the Imperial Study!"

Shen Yanzheng replied without any shame, "Yes."

Chang Ning: "..."

Who understands? Sometimes, it's really helpless to have a husband like that.

His Majesty is now working diligently to strengthen the nation, and by the time His Highness the Crown Prince is twelve years old, the territory has expanded by one-third.

He practiced in the Imperial Study every day, assisting his father in handling state affairs. Every day at the appointed time, a goose would call outside, and His Highness the Crown Prince would take his leave from his father, saying he was going to feed the goose!

The goose is now twelve years old, with a glossy and smooth appearance. The palace even has a small pond specially built for it. It wears a gemstone on its long neck and quacks loudly whenever it sees His Highness the Crown Prince.

Shen Yanzheng snorted coldly and left. His Highness the Crown Prince quickly followed, saying, "Father, wait for me!"

The goose waddled along after them; they were going to have lunch with the Queen Mother.

His Highness the Crown Prince asked, "Father, I read the memorials from the third year of the Zhengxing era today. The Western Regions' Yachi Kingdom is too remote and difficult to govern. Why did we still attack it?"

His Majesty replied, "Oh, because they have a rare medicinal herb that would be good for your mother's health, but they refused to give it to her, so Father had to beat them."

Over the years, the Crown Prince has naturally given birth to more than one child in the palace. The Emperor and Empress have now given birth to four sons and one daughter, silencing those who say His Majesty has few offspring.

However, having children in succession is bad for a woman's health. There have been empresses in history who died young because of having too many children. Shen Yanzheng naturally could not allow such a thing to happen. So when he learned that a small country in the Western Regions had miraculous medicinal herbs, he naturally did not hesitate to bring them over.

As expected of a national treasure, after consuming the medicinal herb, Chang Ning, even in her thirties, remained as youthful and tender as an eighteen-year-old girl, while in the end, it was Shen Yanzheng who began to experience age anxiety.

Chang Ning chuckled at him: "It's a pity that the medicine is useless for men!"

Shen Yanzheng narrowed his eyes: "Do you think I'm too old?"

Chang Ning immediately stopped smiling. "No, how could that be?"

Unfortunately, it was too late. Shen Yanzheng pounced on him like a tiger: "I'll show you just how old I really am!"

After another round of fermentation, Chang Ning was completely drained of his last bit of strength, and he suspected that this was just an excuse he was making for himself.

Not long after, news came from the palace that the Empress was pregnant again.

After ten months, she gave birth to her sixth daughter, who was greatly loved by the emperor and empress.

-

After Chang Ning closed his eyes in this world, his soul returned to the Heavenly Dao Space, and his intense emotions calmed down in an instant.

She immediately looked at the floating screen, where the large words were both eye-catching and glaring!

Merit: 0

She grabbed the golden pagoda in her hand and roared with all her might, "Explain to me why it's still 0! Do you even have a heart?!"

Why is it still 0?

She doesn't understand!

She's already working so hard on the task!

The golden pagoda was much smaller than the first time she saw it, barely the size of her palm. It seemed to be asleep, but she shook it awake. "Hello, this is the Heavenly Dao Message Machine."

Then, with a "beep," a voice came from inside: "You've already taken away all his destined lovers, and you still want merit? Keep dreaming."

Chang Ning: "???"

Are you okay?

How could you say such emotional words in a voice that has no emotion?
