Wealth and glory seek stability

"Yes, children can be taught."

Jian Xi smiled with relief, thinking that all her efforts were not in vain.

Workplace experience is a skill that every office worker must possess. Some of the unspoken rules in it can only be kept in mind and cannot be spoken out loud.

In her previous life, she had struggled in society and met all kinds of people. She finally concluded that ability is secondary in the workplace, and the most important thing is human relationships.

The little girls have indeed made progress after being trained by Jian Xi.

Qiangwei praised him repeatedly, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. You managed to train these people so well."

Jian Xi said modestly: "It's all because of Sister Qiangwei's good teaching."

She has already figured out Qiangwei's personality: she is organized and kind, but sometimes she is a little vain and needs others to praise her.

When Qiangwei and Jian Xi are together, she always feels like she is bathed in spring breeze. She is neither fawning nor flattering and has her own principles. This is why she likes Jian Xi.

Jian Xi's daily work was still very idle. She would embroider with Dingxiang for three hours every day, and follow Qiangwei to do errands for one hour.

The rest of the time is her reading time.

The books bought from Moxiang Pavilion cover a wide range of aspects.

There are astronomy and geography, unofficial history, ancient and modern poetry, and a strange booklet.

Why is it strange?

The five big characters on it are bright and clear:

Three Hundred Tang Poems!!!

Why does this kind of thing appear in this era? !

Jian Xi opened the book, and the poems inside were like memories engraved in her DNA.

"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground."

"Have you not seen that the water of the Yellow River is as high as the sky..."

"The waterfall plunges three thousand feet..."

"What is this thing?" Jian Xi collapsed.

She flipped through the Records of Various Nations and read the history of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. What is certain is that there is no dynasty named Tang Dynasty in the written records on this continent.

In the entire continent, there are only four thousand-year dynasties recorded in history: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

Even the Xuanyuan Dynasty only came into being forty-seven years ago.

Are there other travelers?

Who is it?

Jian Xi continued to read, and the room was littered with miscellaneous books.

Open this one and it's not.

This one isn't either.

She tried to find clues in the book.

finally--

Found something in a book that looked a bit old.

It is an unofficial history, telling the story of the current emperor Xuanyuan Zhan before he ascended the throne.

When Xuanyuan Zhan was still a prince, he traveled among the people and met a woman dressed in strange clothes. This woman was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and was very good at criticizing current social ills. Xuanyuan Zhan admired her talent and took her in as an aide.

The woman's name was Lou Muran, and she disguised herself as a man under the alias Mu Ran, and talked among the scholars. Xuanyuan Zhaoyi would often give the princes test questions, mostly about some current political problems. Because of Mu Ran, Xuanyuan Zhan could always give the most perfect solution.

She was also very good at business and made many novel things that were not available in Beijing, including ceramics, mirrors, colored glaze, printing, papermaking...

She was the one who founded the largest Lou's Trading Company in the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

According to folk rumors, she is a messenger sent by God and the son of God.

Is this a big deal? !

How could Xuanyuan Zhaoyi allow two sons of God in one country, so he summoned Mu Ran into the palace. During the banquet, he hid several swordsmen behind the screen and used smashing cups as a signal.

It was Xuanyuan Zhan who saw Xuanyuan Zhaoyi's intention, and he knelt on the ground, saying earnestly, "I beg you to have mercy, Father. Mu Ran is not as the rumors say."

Xuanyuan Zhaoyi was furious. He kicked Xuanyuan Zhan to the ground and yelled, "Asshole!"

"Mu Ran, tell father your identity quickly."

Lou Muran had no choice but to take off her hair crown, revealing her beautiful face. "Your Majesty, Muran did not intend to conceal her identity, she just wanted to follow you."

No matter how dissatisfied Xuanyuan Zhaoyi was, she knew that it was impossible for a woman to become emperor, so she issued an edict to give Lou Muran to Xuanyuan Zhan as a concubine. At the same time, she also gave Zhao Qingchen, the daughter of the prime minister, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Xuanyuan Dynasty at that time, to Xuanyuan Zhan as a concubine.

Lou Muran originally did not want to marry Xuanyuan Zhan. The man she wanted must be with her for life, and she would never share a husband with other women.

Xuanyuan Zhan promised that he would only have Lou Muran as his wife in his life, and that he would marry other women to balance the power in the court. Although he would marry her, he would not favor her.

Lou Muran couldn't resist Xuanyuan Zhan's sweet talk and finally agreed.

On the wedding day, double happiness came.

The Prime Minister married his daughter off with a grand ceremony of ten miles of red wedding décor and two hundred and sixty-eight loads of dowry.

But who is Lou Muran? The owner of the world's number one chamber of commerce, with a dowry of nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces.

He gave Prime Minister Zhao a loud slap in the face.

After the wedding, Xuanyuan Zhan treated Lou Muran wholeheartedly as he had promised. Zhao Qingchen hadn't even touched her for two years.

The Xuanyuan family were all warmongers. They fought bravely in many battles. Due to years of war, the national treasury had long been depleted.

Other princes were defeated one by one in the competition for the throne by Xuanyuan Zhan, who had a strong financial backing.

Until Xuanyuan Zhaoyi passed away, Xuanyuan Zhan naturally became the next emperor.

finally--

In order to balance the forces in the court, Xuanyuan Zhan still favored Zhao Qingchen.

Lou Muran was very dissatisfied and made a big fuss in her own palace. She fainted once and found out that she was pregnant.

Xuanyuan Zhan was immediately overjoyed and promised that if Lou Muran gave birth to a prince, he would immediately make him the crown prince.

The harem is a cruel place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. In an accident, Lou Muran had a miscarriage.

Newcomers come in one after another. Lou Muran becomes disheartened and no longer holds any expectations for you, Xuanyuan Zhan. He is cold to everyone.

Four princes had not been born in the palace in a row. Xuanyuan Zhan was furious and ordered the Dali Temple to find out the real culprit.

Finally, the investigation led to Lou Muran, who was extremely sad and asked loudly, "Don't you trust me at all?"

Xuanyuan Zhan was heartbroken when he saw his former lover's lack of understanding. "It's not that I don't believe you, but now the evidence is irrefutable, so I have no choice but to let you down."

Lou Muran was imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison. The concubines in the harem had long been dissatisfied with her and bribed the jailer to only give her some stale steamed bread every day.

A few days later, Lou Muran fainted.

Xuanyuan Zhan rushed over and saw his beloved's haggard face. He was furious and said, "You little slaves, who gave you the courage? Why don't you call the imperial physician?"

The jailer was afraid that his crime would be exposed, so he quickly agreed, "Yes."

There were crowds of people kneeling on the ground in the prison.

The imperial physician took the patient's pulse tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is pregnant."

"Really?"

"It's true."

Xuanyuan Zhan was overjoyed. He picked up Lou Muran and carried him back to the palace. He ignored the protests of the court officials and stayed with Lou Muran for a whole day and night without eating or drinking.

After Lou Muran woke up and heard the news, she touched her stomach in a daze.

He then made up his mind to have a showdown with Xuanyuan Zhan.

She would use all the shares of Lou's Chamber of Commerce to exchange for the safety of herself and her children, and then ask to be sent to the cold palace to end the rest of her life.

Xuanyuan Zhan disagreed, but at that time the Xuanyuan Dynasty was at war with the Suzaku Dynasty and was short of money.

The court officials jointly submitted a memorial, requesting Xuanyuan Zhan to agree to Concubine Shu's request.
