His innermost thoughts were revealed, and he ventured into a fictional dynasty with the system.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Qianluo no longer had an excuse to skip court and had to resume her daily work routine. Whether Qin Qianluo was happy or not was unknown, but the court officials were definitely happy. They hadn't heard Princess Qingyun's thoughts for half a month and missed her quite a bit.

Qin Qianlu diligently performed her duties as the mascot, appearing very obedient on the surface, but inwardly she was complaining, "001, what's the point of being an emperor anyway? Getting up earlier than the rooster and going to bed later than the dog, working so hard, and you might end up with the title of tyrant."

001 was also puzzled. "He was probably caught by the late emperor. After all, apart from that dim-witted Prince Xian who coveted the throne, the emperor's other two elder brothers, Prince Xin and Prince Zhan, stayed far away, fearing they might become the next ruler. Only the current emperor foolishly remained in the capital."

The court officials: No, why does Princess Qingyun speak of the throne in such a negative light? Well, it's true that he gets up earlier than the rooster and goes to bed later than the dog, and he's been labeled a tyrant. It does sound quite pitiful. No, we were almost led astray by Princess Qingyun. The emperor has great power; he holds the power of life and death!

Your Majesty: I feel like crying just listening to this. Who understands? Back then, my two older brothers rushed to the frontier overnight, saying they were going to protect the country. I was so foolish that I bid them a tearful farewell, and in the end, I was conscripted into the army.

Crown Prince: So, is it too late for me to run away now? Hearing this, the throne really doesn't seem so appealing. Maybe I should follow my two uncles and guard the border, becoming a carefree prince.

Second Prince: Big brother, don't even think about it. The throne can only be yours. Don't even think about passing it on to me. I still have to go to the border. If you go too, what will I do? I can't let my two younger sisters, who haven't even reached marriageable age yet, and my young fifth brother succeed to the throne, can I? Can you bear to let your younger sisters and brothers suffer like this?

Qin Qianlu nodded. "It really is tragic. After all, the throne is a trap. Although the power is great, it's too easy to be criticized. If you do well, people will think it's your duty—because you're the emperor. If you do poorly, it's your problem—because you're the emperor."

It took 001 a moment to process what she'd said. The written word was indeed profound, but she also agreed with Qin Qianluo's words: "That's true, but it's alright. After all, the court officials are very capable, and your emperor isn't that tired."

Qin Qianlu said with a wronged expression, "But, court starts at Mao Shi (5-7 AM), so I have to get up at Yin Shi (3-5 AM) to get ready. That means I have to get up at three or five in the morning to wash up and eat, and then I have to stand for two or three hours. If I'm lucky, court ends at Si Shi (9-11 AM), but if I'm unlucky, I don't get off until Wu Shi (11 AM-1 PM). The roosters aren't even up by Mao Shi yet!"

The court officials exclaimed, "That's right! Every day it's roll call. They have to get up before the rooster even crows. Those who live nearby can have breakfast, but those who live far away don't even have time for breakfast. They rush over and stand for the whole morning." The officials felt a pang of pity for themselves and silently glanced at the Emperor at the head of the table.

Emperor: ? ? ? No, I also get up at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM). What kind of looks are you giving me? Hasn't this been the time for court sessions since ancient times? It's not like I set the time.

001 keenly noticed the change in Qin Qianluo. The previous Luo Bao would not have complained about these things. Now it seems that she has truly developed a sense of belonging to this country, which is why she is muttering like this, just like she is being spoiled by her mother. 001 was very happy. This shows that the people around Luo Bao are kind to Luo Bao, and Luo Bao has also felt this kindness.

001 thought for a moment and said, "Actually, your Emperor is the most tired. He gets up at 1:15 AM, washes up, pays his respects to the Empress Dowager, then has breakfast. He starts court at 5:00 AM, pays his respects to the Empress Dowager again at noon, has lunch, and then reviews memorials in the Imperial Study until 5:00 PM. During his dinner time, he still has to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and continue reviewing memorials. He's busy until 9:00 PM before he has to favor his concubines."

Qin Qianluo was stunned by the packed schedule. "Wait, he's supposed to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager before dawn? Has she even woken up yet? It's a miracle she didn't beat him up at that hour. This schedule is almost as long as Emperor Yongzheng's! Tsk tsk, even worse!"

Your Majesty: Did you hear that! I've been very busy too, and I haven't been able to secretly rest. But what do you mean it's strange that my mother didn't beat me? That's called being filial. Paying respects to my mother morning and evening is a matter of filial piety. How could my mother beat me? This girl really doesn't understand!

Then, thinking of yet another emperor mentioned in his heart, the Emperor pondered, "Who is this Emperor Yongzheng? Was he also the emperor of the little girl from the Qin family in her previous life? How come there are so many emperors? Yongzheng doesn't sound like a name from the Central Plains. Could it be that in the dynasty the little girl from the Qin family lived in her previous life, there were also foreign emperors ruling the Central Plains? However, this Emperor Yongzheng has the same lifestyle as me, so he must be a wise ruler."

Hearing the schedule, everyone gasped. The fact that the Empress Dowager hadn't physically punished the Emperor meant he was her biological son! Looking at it this way, they could finally accept attending court so early. Without comparison, there's no sense of happiness! But who was Emperor Yongzheng? Another new emperor had appeared.

001 also expressed confusion, saying, "However, this also indirectly proves that the Emperor is the Empress Dowager's biological son, since he's been so diligent in paying his respects and hasn't been beaten."

Qin Qianluo agreed, "Yes, that's true. But looking at this schedule, it's quite an achievement that the Emperor still has five children. It shows how hard the ladies of the harem work."

Empress Dowager: My heart is aching. The Emperor is so filial. Even if I don't want to, I have to accept it. I can't let my son bear the reputation of being unfilial.

001 rummaged through the documents, "There's nothing we can do. The late emperor passed away not long after establishing the Tianxuan Kingdom, leaving the current emperor a mess to clean up. If your emperor doesn't work hard, it will be swallowed up by other countries. Fortunately, the late emperor left the emperor many capable ministers, which is the most valuable asset."

Qin Qianluo nodded in agreement. "Fortunately, these are the key ministers; otherwise, the state of Tianxuan Kingdom might not be what it is today. The Emperor is also a benevolent ruler. Indeed, the absence of corrupt officials in the court leads to rapid development."

Your Majesty: The little girl from the Qin family understands me. Heaven knows how desperate I was when I first took over the dynasty and found that the national treasury was almost empty and there were many corrupt officials. Fortunately, I have so many capable ministers to help me. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to do this in such a short time.

The Emperor glanced at his ministers below, feeling a sense of satisfaction. The court officials were also deeply moved; they all knew how difficult things had been back then, how much effort they had poured into ensuring the arrival of Princess Qingyun.

The Emperor and his courtiers thought that since Princess Qingyun appeared, although they were busier, they didn't have to worry about being betrayed. They could do their work with peace of mind, since any problematic people would be exposed by Princess Qingyun's 001. Princess Qingyun would also provide many items that would benefit the country, which would relieve a lot of their pressure.

Just as everyone was moved, 001, who was flipping through the documents, suddenly exclaimed, "My God, Luo Bao, guess what I saw!"

Everyone: What? What did you see? Tell us!

Qin Qianluo also asked, "001, what did you see? Let me see!"

001 opened the light screen, revealing the Imperial Study. Upon seeing this, the Emperor's expression stiffened slightly. What was 001 going to show? Thinking of yesterday's events, the Emperor's face darkened. Could it be that incident?

Unfortunately, 001 couldn't hear the Emperor's thoughts. Instead, a graceful woman appeared on the screen, wearing a light pink robe. She swayed her lithe, boneless waist and walked step by step toward the Emperor, who was reviewing memorials. When she reached the Emperor, her outer robe fell off, revealing that she was only wearing an undergarment. Unfortunately, the Emperor didn't even raise his head and coldly said, "Get out!"

Upon hearing this, the woman bit her lower lip and leaned her soft body forward. Just then, the Empress entered with a maid carrying tea. Seeing this, she quickly took off her outer robe and wrapped it around the woman. When the Emperor looked up, he didn't see the concubine wearing her inner garment. The woman was then led away by the maid.

Qin Qianlu stared dumbfounded at the light screen, at the graceful figure of the woman on it. The court officials wished they could lower their heads to the ground. What should they do? Why were they so curious? They saw the concubine in such a posture. Would the emperor punish them?

Qin Qianluo snapped out of her daze. "I think I know why I have to be the emperor. Three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines—this kind of pleasure is something ordinary people can't enjoy. The emperor isn't miserable at all. Look at that waist, look at that figure, look at that… uh…"

Your Majesty: I don't have that many concubines, and I'm not the kind of person who's lustful. Didn't you see that I didn't even look up? This is slander!

The court officials exclaimed, "We've really made something of ourselves, experiencing the Emperor's pleasure! But we don't know if we'll keep our heads after this enjoyment is over." Only Lin Fu, the Minister of Justice, was somewhat uneasy. If he wasn't mistaken, that looked like his own concubine's daughter.

Qin Xiang: Oh no, my youngest daughter has no self-restraint at all. Look what you've done, 001, you can even show this to Luo'er.

Qin Jiyuan: Little sister, what about your image? You're not even of marriageable age yet, how can you speak so bluntly?

001 then said, "Luo Bao, stop looking. This Consort Lin is here to register her unborn child in the palace. If the Empress hadn't arrived in time, Consort Lin's registration would probably be finished, and your Emperor's crown would have turned green."

Qin Qianluo was stunned, the Emperor was stunned, and Lin Fu was about to cry. "My daughter has ruined me!"

Qin Qianluo exclaimed excitedly, "Tell me in detail, whose child is this Consort Lin carrying?"

The Emperor also pricked up his ears to listen, after all, it concerned the color of his crown. Although he was very angry, he still wanted to know whose it was. He glanced at the trembling Minister of Justice and remained silent.

001 flipped through the files: "He was a guard in Consort Lin's palace. This guard had secretly fallen in love with the unmarried Consort Lin back then. However, when the imperial concubines were being selected, all of Minister Lin's legitimate daughters were already married. Only Consort Lin, a concubine's daughter, was of suitable age. Minister Lin had no choice but to send his concubine's daughter into the palace. But that guard was infatuated. He managed to pass through the layers of selection for guards and even spent money to find connections to get himself sent to serve in Consort Lin's palace."

Qin Qianluo exclaimed, "Wow, so touching!"

The ministers exclaimed: "Wow, how touching!"

Your Majesty: Are you even being polite? And Minister Lin, why did you send your daughter to the palace if she already has someone she loves? I don't necessarily want you to send your daughters in!

Lin Fu: Can I say I don't know?

001 continued, "The two met again in the palace. Lin Zhaoyi, mindful of her status, did not overstep her bounds. The guard was also quite gentlemanly, keeping a respectful distance from Lin Zhaoyi. However, the Emperor was very busy, rarely visiting the inner palace, except for the Empress's. Lin Zhaoyi hadn't seen the Emperor much since entering the palace, and her anxiety grew. The night before last, she drank a few too many cups, and that night she had relations with the guard who had stayed by her side out of concern. Lin Zhaoyi feared she was pregnant, which is why she rushed to the Emperor, worried that she would bring ruin to the Minister's residence."

(Postscript: I've noticed that some comments are not visible, so I'm writing this here first. The female lead's surname is Qin (pronounced with a second tone), which is a polyphonic character. Also, this is a fictional dynasty story, so please don't say the settings are unreasonable. I will try my best to recreate ancient life, but the issue of gender equality is more of my fantasy about the dynasty. The historical figures mentioned in the story are only used as descriptive terms to help readers better immerse themselves in the characters. History buffs, please be lenient; there is no intention to disrespect historical figures. The various martial arts techniques mentioned are not meant to insult those martial arts, so please be lenient, martial arts practitioners. If you find any typos, please let me know, and I will correct them. I will also try my best to avoid typos. I haven't decided on another female lead yet because I'm not sure who I'll write as the other female lead. The main focus is still on Qin Qianluo. Finally, I hope you enjoy reading. Thank you to everyone who has read this far. Sending love!)
