Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Princess Chang'an pulled Senior Brother Seventeen's sleeve and said to him with a smile: "Senior Brother Seventeen, don't smile at me like that. I'm afraid I'll be fascinated by you. Look...how beautiful your smile is."

Hearing this, Senior Brother Seventeen was embarrassed and couldn't help but say, "Just tell me, what bad idea are you thinking of?"

"Oh, Brother Seventeen, of course I was thinking about it. After all these years, you are not close to your eldest brother's family, and naturally you are not close to your father either. Otherwise, how about this, you follow me down the mountain this time, and we will go to Rongbao Palace together, what do you think?"

"You follow me to see my father, the king, and my mother!"

Hearing this, Senior Brother Seventeen was startled, and immediately smiled: "That's good, I'll follow you to meet Princess Rongbao and Prince Rongbao."

"Let's go and meet..."

"It's been so many years, I haven't seen them for a long time, and I don't know how they are doing now."

So Zhao Jia foolishly took Senior Brother Seventeen home.

Even Senior Brother Seventeen wore a hat, carried a lot of bags, and wore a bright red brocade robe, and followed Princess Chang'an back home.

The Grand Princess of Chang'an had been staying in the Buddhist temple all the time and didn't have any nice clothes to wear.

It was just a long time ago, about three months ago... when Chen Zhining came to the Buddhist temple, he brought her a casual dress for her to change into, but after that, Chen Zhining never brought her any casual clothes again.

Princess Chang'an was forced to change into this dress.

When she and Senior Brother Seventeen returned to the Rongbao Palace, Grand Princess Chang'an was particularly surprised and said to Senior Brother Seventeen, "Senior Brother Seventeen, I always feel that the dress you are wearing is very gorgeous... It is much more gorgeous than the clothes I wore before."

"Where on earth did you get such gorgeous clothes?"

"If you wanted to wear such a beautiful dress, why didn't you notify me before? Did you want me to wear such an ugly dress alone?"

Zhao Jia frowned, feeling that Senior Brother Seventeen seemed to dislike her no longer.

I didn't expect that Senior Brother Seventeen would wear such nice clothes secretly without telling me and wear them secretly... How could he do that?

What a bad guy!

Seeing that Princess Chang'an looked unhappy, Senior Brother Seventeen immediately smiled, patted Zhao Jia's head, and said, "I'll make money to make clothes for you later. I'll make a lot of beautiful clothes, okay?"

After hearing this, Zhao Jia smiled.

As soon as they entered the mansion, Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao saw the Grand Princess Chang'an and Senior Brother Seventeen coming in. The two of them got along very well and looked like a good match.

But...Senior Brother Seventeen has no hair at all. He looks like a bald monk. The bald head really affects the visual impression.

However, the plot of the ascetic Buddhist in the novel can actually be performed, and it is quite exciting.

When Chen Zhining saw Senior Brother Seventeen's look, he immediately thought of something inappropriate for children...

She looked at the Grand Princess Chang'an and Senior Brother Seventeen carefully, and suddenly her heart was shocked: Oh my god, could they be the same as I thought?

She and Jiang Zhao looked at each other, and Jiang Zhao communicated with her with a look that contained a sense of crisis.

Oh my god, it seems to be exactly what they both thought...

Jiang Zhao's expression changed, and Chen Zhining's expression also changed at this time.

However, Chen Zhining's expression changed, of course, because she was wondering whether she could bring the son-in-law brought back by the Grand Princess of Chang'an into the mansion.

She knew this Seventeenth Senior Brother, and he had always been a good person. It seemed not impossible for him to be her son-in-law.

At this time, Jiang Zhao immediately stepped forward and separated Senior Brother Seventeen and Zhao Jia. He frowned at Senior Brother Seventeen and Zhao Jia and said, "You two are already grown-up kids now. You can't play with each other outside. How can this be allowed?!"

Especially the Grand Princess Chang'an, her identity is even more extraordinary.

If it happened at home, it would be fine. But if it happened outside, would the entire royal family still have dignity? What would happen to the princess's reputation?

When Senior Brother Seventeen heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said to Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao, "Prince Rongbao, Princess Rongbao, Senior Brother Seventeen apologizes to you here."

"!!!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jia panicked. She quickly pushed Jiang Zhao's hand aside and said to him angrily, "Oh, father, Senior Brother Seventeen and I didn't have any intimate behavior at all."

"I just pulled Senior Brother Seventeen's sleeve, just the sleeve... and I pulled it with my own hands. Senior Brother Seventeen never did anything to me, and never touched me at all. Why are you so serious?! It's as if you're making Senior Brother Seventeen act like a pervert who took advantage of me."

Jiang Zhao's face darkened. He didn't expect that his little friend would actually speak to Senior Brother Seventeen. He was a little bit unbelievable.

Seeing Jiang Zhao looking like his cabbage was eaten by a pig, Chen Zhining couldn't help but want to laugh.

In fact, this is how a father-in-law looks when he sees his son-in-law.

Chen Zhining was happy, and said to Jiang Zhao with a smile: "Okay, okay, now that the children are back, let them in."

As they spoke, Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao looked at Zhao Jia and Senior Brother Seventeen with a bit of surprise, "By the way, didn't you send a message two days ago saying that you would be back tomorrow? How come you're back today?"

Zhao Jia and Senior Brother Seventeen looked at each other, and Zhao Jia said doubtfully: "I won't be back until tomorrow...!"

"Yes."

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining nodded, and they led the Grand Princess Chang'an and Senior Brother Seventeen into the main hall.

Afterwards, Chen Zhining immediately instructed Feicui, saying to Feicui, "Tell the kitchen to prepare food immediately."

"Zhenzhu, after you have cleaned up the courtyard of the Grand Princess of Chang'an, let them live there. And prepare a room for Seventeen."

"...Liuli, go and boil some hot water. The princess and the little monk will need to wash up later."

After several maids went down, Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao asked the two of them to sit down.

Chen Zhining said to Senior Brother Zhao Jia and Senior Brother Seventeen, "These letters were sent by Master Kong Kong, so they should not be fake."

When they heard that it was Master Kongkong who helped to send it, Senior Brother Seventeen and Princess Chang'an felt a little strange.

Senior Brother Seventeen hesitated for a moment, then said to Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao, "In reply to the prince and princess, my master has been acting a little strange recently..."

He told himself and Zhao Jia what Master Kong Kong had told him, saying that he would go back to see Master Kong Kong after some time.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at each other and said with a smile, "Maybe Master Kongkong remembered the time wrong. He wanted to write tomorrow, but ended up writing today."

"......Alas, but it's not a big problem. We were originally thinking that we would go to pick you up tomorrow with drums and gongs, bringing the Empress and the Empress Dowager, but now it's better for you to come back directly. Tomorrow we will bring you to the palace to meet the Empress and the Empress Dowager."

"You must have missed them a lot since you haven't seen them for so long?"

"Yes, I do miss them."

Zhao Jia nodded, then showed a pitiful look on his face, and said to Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao, "I really haven't seen my grandmother and ancestors for a long time. I miss them very much."

Zhao Jia said, and immediately shook Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao's arms and said coquettishly: "We will go to see the Royal Grandmother and the Old Ancestor tomorrow. I will bring them some gifts later."

Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao both touched Zhao Jia's head lovingly.

At the dinner table, the two of them also asked Senior Brother Seventeen some questions, such as how old he was this year, what his hobbies were, and what he wanted to do after he got out...if he didn't want to be a monk.

Eventually Jiang Zhao discovered that although this seventeenth senior brother had stayed in the Buddhist temple for a long time and had been a monk for a long time, he was actually a very smart person.

The long time he spent in the Buddhist temple was not in vain, as he learned many strategies and tactics from Master Kongkong.

If he were to take the imperial examination, he would definitely not be able to succeed, but being a staff member in the prince's palace should not be a problem.

Jiang Zhao looked at Senior Brother Seventeen with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Now the prince is about to ascend the throne. The emperor has been the emperor for a very long time. He is getting old and has more difficulty in doing things. Now many things in the court are done by the prince.

Since the crown prince is asked to do it, he is no different from the real emperor. Now all power is basically in the hands of the crown prince.

If the emperor died at this moment, or became an emperor emeritus, it would be fine no matter what. There would be no problem in leaving all these matters to the prince.

It doesn’t matter whether there is an emperor or not now.

Well, if Senior Brother Seventeen is allowed to be the aide of the Prince's Mansion, then Brother Seventeen will be a capable minister who is highly valued by the Prince. At that time... his status will become noble. Will he be worthy of Zhao Jia?

How could I not see what seventeen means?

I can see that Zhao Jia brought Senior Brother Seventeen to the mansion for a very simple reason. There is no other feeling, just the love between brother and sister...

But this Seventeenth Senior Brother seemed to have a different attitude towards Zhao Jia.

No matter what, if Senior Brother Seventeen is able to become an aide to the Prince's Mansion in the future and can get along well with Zhao Jia, that would be fine.

Jiang Zhao's attitude towards Senior Brother Seventeen changed slightly.

No matter what, Senior Brother Seventeen is now Zhao Jia’s senior brother, so it will be enough to arrange Senior Brother Seventeen to be the aide to the Prince’s Mansion.

......It’s not really an arrangement, it’s just to show him the way and let Senior Brother Seventeen go to the Prince’s Mansion to apply for the job on his own.

It would be great if I could successfully apply for the job at the Prince's Mansion.

If the application is unsuccessful, then you should just get out of here as far away as possible.

"..."

On the second day, Zhao Jia followed Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining to the palace and had a meeting with everyone.

And in the evening, Zhao Jia brought everyone back to the mansion, and saw Senior Brother Seventeen and the Prince standing side by side, looking at Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining.

"......" "Brother Crown Prince is here."

Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao looked at each other, and then... they hurried forward to say hello.

The prince smiled and said to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, "You don't know, this Seventeenth Senior Brother Zhao Jia brought here really helped me a lot."

"This Seventeenth is indeed a talented person. Let him go to Jiangnan on my behalf to discuss the tax reduction issue."

I didn’t expect that Senior Brother Seventeen would be entrusted with such an important task just after he became the prince’s aide.

The look in Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining's eyes when they looked at Senior Brother Seventeen changed.

Then I saw Zhao Jia next to him was very happy, he pulled Senior Brother Seventeen and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Seventeen, you are really amazing!"

The prince also laughed.

Afterwards, the prince said to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, "Also, the reason I came here to discuss this with you is not only because of the Seventeen you recommended to me, but also because I want Wen Le and Wen Guang to go to Jiangnan and train with Seventeen."

"What do you think?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining had no objection. They both nodded and said, "Then let Wen Le and Wen Guang go to Jiangnan to train together."

The prince said, pulling Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining aside and whispering, "Father's intention is... when the tax reduction in Jiangnan is completed, let me become the emperor."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes, "Does that mean that after this time, the emperor will abdicate?"

"Yes." The prince nodded. Time had left traces on his face, but he looked more upright, handsome, and gentler now.

The prince smiled and said calmly: "Father has been the emperor for so many years now, and has been on the throne for more than 40 years, which is rare in all dynasties nowadays."

"So it's fine if he wants to be the emperor."

"It's just that I think he can stop being the emperor for now and continue to be the emperor, but my father doesn't want to continue doing that. He said that my mother is old and her health is getting worse. He wants to travel around the country for a few more years in her twilight years, and then return to the palace... to spend her remaining years in peace."

Hearing what the prince said, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining nodded, both feeling a little emotional.

Zhao Jia also smiled and said, "Indeed, this time when I went to the palace to see my grandfather, he was still in good health, but my grandmother was not as good as usual."

"Maybe it's the illness that the Empress Dowager contracted while in the palace."

"Yes, which woman in this palace has a good body?"
