Many children, many blessings: The male protagonist who has no descendants becomes a man who dotes o

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Oh? Tell me about it."

"This... the emperor's mind is hard to predict, and I, your humble servant, don't know..."

Shen Tianzheng said hesitantly.

The Queen Mother waved her hand impatiently, "Just speak when I asked you to. Why are you so worried?"

"Yes, Queen Mother." Shen Tianzheng looked up at the Queen Mother and continued, "I think the Emperor might be attracted by Chu Yuqin because she is new to him. After all, Chu Yuqin is beautiful, gentle, virtuous, intelligent and kind. It is normal for the Emperor to be bewitched. After a long time, the Emperor will get tired of Chu Yuqin and forget about her."

The Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully: "You are right. I forgot that the Emperor is still young and it is normal for him to be greedy for new things. I hope he can wake up soon and not go astray."

"The Empress Dowager is wise and intelligent. She will definitely resolve the demons in the Emperor's heart." Shen Tianzheng quickly agreed and flattered the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "Well, you can get up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Shen Tianzheng bowed and stood up.

"Well, you go contact a few respected ministers and find an opportunity to persuade the emperor not to indulge in women during the morning court, especially a woman like Chu Yuqin who is not of legitimate status." The empress dowager warned sternly.

"Yes, I understand." Shen Tianzheng lowered his eyelids and answered respectfully.

"You can go down." The Queen Mother waved her hand, signaling Shen Tianzheng to leave.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Shen Tianzheng bowed and left.

After walking out of the Cining Palace, Shen Tianzheng breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, he had just answered the Queen Mother's question wittily, otherwise he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

……

As night fell, the entire palace fell into darkness, quiet and mysterious.

Chu Yuqin sat in front of the dressing table and let two palace maids help her take off her headdress.

"Miss, you are so beautiful tonight, simply stunningly beautiful." Chunlan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Chu Yuqin heard this, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. Then she put down the mirror, stood up, and walked to the closet.

Opening the wardrobe, she took out a snow-blue flowing cloud-smoke silk skirt, which she paired with a crescent-white gauze shirt, highlighting her slender waist and fragrant arms.

Chu Yuqin put it on gracefully and walked towards the bronze mirror.

The woman reflected in the bronze mirror has skin whiter than snow, eyebrows as black as black, and exquisite facial features. Her lively eyes sparkle with dazzling light, as charming as if they are filled with stars. Her cherry mouth is plump and tempting, making people want to taste its fragrance. She is so beautiful and holy that people can't take their eyes off her.

Chu Yuqin looked at herself carefully in the bronze mirror.

"Miss Chu, Meihong was bitten by a poisonous snake and is still unconscious. What should we do?" The voice of the palace maid Qiuyu came from outside the door.

Chu Yuqin frowned, "You take care of her."

Chu Yuqin didn't want to bother with Mei Hong, a chess piece that Xiao Yun'er had placed next to her.

She deserved to die.

"Yes, Miss Chu." Qiuyu took the order and withdrew.

"Miss, it's late, you should go to bed early." Chunlan suggested.

Chu Yuqin nodded and turned to walk towards the bed.

"Miss, let me help you to rest." Chunlan walked to the bed, took out the brocade quilt and made it available.

"Well, you've worked hard, Chunlan." Chu Yuqin lay down, "You should go and have a rest too."

"Yes, Miss." Chunlan covered Chu Yuqin with a blanket.

Chu Yuqin lay on the bed with her eyes open, but she was not sleepy at all.

Everything that happened today is still fresh in my mind.

Thinking of Xiao Yuner, Chu Yuqin suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't help but dry heaving a few times.

"Miss, are you okay? Would you like a cup of tea to moisten your throat?" After a moment, a worried voice sounded.

"I'm fine, you go down first." Chu Yuqin shook her head.

"Yes, miss." Chunlan stepped back.

When the room was quiet, Chu Yuqin poked the system: [Xiao Tongzi~]

[Host, do you have any instructions? ] The system's cute voice sounded.

[You saw everything that happened today, right?] Chu Yuqin asked.

[Yes, I saw it all. Everything went smoothly.] The system nodded.

[What's the situation regarding the overturning of the case for Minister Chu? Is there any progress from the Emperor's side?] Chu Yuqin asked.

[We have sent someone to follow up and investigate, and I believe there will be results soon. ]

"I hope so." Chu Yuqin murmured.

[Host, don't be impatient. Take your time. You have plenty of time anyway.] Xiao Tongzi comforted.

Chu Yuqin pursed her lips and said nothing more.

[Host, the emperor really loves you. In order to protect you, he has blocked the news because he is worried that you will be involved in the court struggle. But you don't have to worry. The emperor has strengthened his vigilance. Those who are ready to make a move will never find a chance again.] Xiao Tongzi comforted with a smile.

Chu Yuqin was stunned when she heard this, then a warm feeling surged in her heart and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Indeed, the emperor doted on her very much.

"Xiao Tongzi, you have become more and more sensible recently!"

[Hehe~ As long as the host is happy. 】

"Okay, I'm going to rest now, you should go and rest too."

[Okay~ Good night, host (*^__^*) hehe...]

Xiao Tongzi went offline after he finished speaking.

Chu Yuqin closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, the morning light rose and the sky turned pale.

Chu Yuqin woke up slowly.

Last night she had a nightmare. In the dream, her father was murdered, and her mother was murdered. She cried and begged for help but to no avail. She was heartbroken...

Chu Yuqin suddenly sat up from the bed, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

She took a breath and regained her composure.

How could she have such a dream? She must be too tired.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief, threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and prepared to wash up.

"Squeak-"

At this time, the door was pushed open, and a cool breeze blew in, ruffling Chu Yuqin's hair. She raised her hand to tuck the scattered hair behind her ears. Without turning back, she squeezed out a soft voice from between her teeth: "Chunlan, change my clothes."

"Yes, Miss." Chunlan immediately stepped forward, helped Chu Yuqin up, and helped her change clothes.

Chunlan was tying Chu Yuqin's hair and sighed, "Miss, you are so beautiful."

"Hehe~" Chu Yuqin curled her lips.

Half a cup of tea later, Chu Yuqin changed into a pink pleated Ruyi skirt embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

The hem of the skirt is embroidered with large peony flowers, with gold and silver intertwined into a circle, which looks lifelike, luxurious and elegant; the body of the skirt is embroidered with a circle of lotus leaves with colorful ribbons, and on each lotus leaf is painted an exquisite lotus lantern with various pigments in red, yellow, blue or green.

The skirt flutters like a butterfly, fresh and refined.

"The young lady has fair skin, and this dress makes her look even more delicate and charming, like a fairy from heaven." Chunlan praised.
