Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Don't worry, the other people in the harem are easy to get along with. You are well-behaved and sensible, so they will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Taiji Hall Study

Shen Yao came early today and was sent by Wei Zhu to serve Emperor Yuanhe.

Xiao Yanchen was handling official business. When he saw Shen Yao coming over, he asked her to grind ink for him.

Of course, just grinding the ink is not enough. With a beautiful woman by his side, Xiao Yanchen is not really calm.

What's more, Shen Yao's serving him in bed for the past two days left him with a very good impression. Just looking at Shen Yao standing there, Xiao Yanchen felt itchy.

Tsk, this feeling is a little subtle, but surprisingly not annoying.

Xiao Yanchen didn't understand. He put down the brush in his hand, walked to Shen Yao, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and their bodies were pressed together, intimate and close.

"Yao'er, you came here early today, are you feeling unwell?"

The sound rang beside her ears, and Shen Yao could clearly feel a stream of hot air blowing on her earlobes.

A tingling sensation crept up along her ears. Her body was sensitive. Shen Yao moved her wrist and replied in a soft voice, "I am not feeling unwell."

Xiao Yanchen chuckled, and Shen Yao's ears turned red.

With malicious intentions, he moved his mouth closer to his ear. Xiao Yanchen looked at him playfully, "Does Yaoer have a favorite word?"

Favorite word?

Shen Yao was stunned by Xiao Yanchen's question, and then realized that he might want to ban her.

"Does the emperor have any favorite characters?" Shen Yao asked, then she leaned back, making the gap between them smaller.

Turning her head, Shen Yao's beautiful almond eyes met Xiao Yanchen's peach blossom eyes, "Whatever the emperor likes, I like."

The obvious and rude flattery did not make Xiao Yanchen angry, but instead made him laugh uncontrollably.

The vibration of the chest was transmitted into the body through the clothes. Shen Yao was shy and charming, with clear and innocent eyes. "Your Majesty"

Xiao Yanchen was stopped. He lowered his head and touched Shen Yao's lips with the corner of his mouth. "Xi, joy and happiness, I think this word suits you best."

熙？

Shen Yao leaned on Xiao Yanchen's shoulder, pondering the meaning of this word.

It seems that the title the emperor wants to give her is Xi.

Well, compared to the word "Xin", "Xi" is still excellent.

Feeling satisfied, Shen Yao put her arms around Xiao Yanchen's neck and thanked him sincerely.

Although Shen Yao was defeated in the end, both sides enjoyed themselves very much.

Later, Shen Yao accompanied Xiao Yanchen for dinner, and they washed up separately, which forced Shen Yao to postpone her plan to try to unlock new postures.

There was no way. There were too many elders in the palace, and there were too many people and eyes. Shen Yao couldn't indulge herself even if she wanted to.

Hey

She hoped that time would pass quickly, and by next spring, she could leave the palace and live in another courtyard. Then she would work hard to develop new venues.

As the saying goes, love grows over time. She doesn't ask for exclusive favor, but she asks for favor all the time.

It was another passionate night.

Maybe because he knew it would not be convenient to call Shen Yao over tomorrow, Xiao Yanchen was particularly excessive this time. It was as if he had endless energy in his body. He ate and gnawed Shen Yao over and over again.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao felt like a pig's trotter, being held by someone and bitten from head to tail, from the outside to the inside, without leaving any room for improvement.

This time, Shen Yao slept more soundly than the previous two days. If she hadn't remembered that she needed to pay her respects at Fengyi Palace, Shen Yao wouldn't even have been able to open her eyelids.

After yawning, I decided to have breakfast in the Tai Chi Hall.

Shen Yao did not let the sedan chair carry her back to Hehuan Palace, but turned around and went to Fengyi Palace.

"master"

Qiuyue held Shen Yao's arm, her eyes slightly worried.

Last night, the master and the emperor quarreled until very late. Qiuyue stood at the door. Although she was happy for the master, she was still worried that the master would not be able to bear it.

Shen Yao waved her hands, with some faint blue marks under her eyes from not sleeping well, "It's okay, help me in."

On the way here, she had taken some body-strengthening pills, and judging by the time, the pills had taken effect.

Although she is not in good condition at the moment, her physical condition is better than Qiuyue expected.

At least I won’t let these jealous women hold a grudge against me because of my walking posture and facial expression.

Qiuyue nodded in agreement, put her worry in her heart, and carefully helped Shen Yao into the house.

Many concubines have already arrived in the center of the main hall.

Shen Yao walked in with small steps, bowed and greeted everyone sitting on the chairs, and then, under the guidance of the palace maid, sat down on the small round stool behind the chairs.

Hey

There was nothing that could be done about it. The harem and concubine system of the Dajing Dynasty was no different from that of other dynasties that Shen Yao was familiar with.

Concubines of the fifth rank or above are the main seat in a palace and can sit on proper chairs.

Concubines below the fifth rank could only sit on the round stool behind the chair.

What's even worse is that even if you are favored by the emperor, you can't even get the position of a ninth-rank concubine. You can only stand at the door and don't even have the qualifications to come in and pay your respects.

Holding a handkerchief in her hand, Shen Yao felt a lot of eyes on her and around her after she sat down.

Well

Are they looking forward to her so much? Shen Yao felt that these people were really impatient. Only a little more than half of the new concubines had come to sleep with her. Who knows, there might be another concubine who is stronger than herself coming out later.

Now that so much attention is being paid to me, could it be that the previous Concubine Xin who received this honor was also doing the same?

With all sorts of thoughts in her mind, Shen Yao sat up straight and looked straight ahead.

It was not until a voice came from the door that "The Queen has arrived" that Shen Yao stood up and followed the common etiquette to greet her.

……

The Queen, Wei Jingyi, was born in the Duke of Wei's Mansion. She had the second prince, Xiao Heng, and lived in Fengyi Palace.

Concubine Zhou, Zhou Ningyan, was born in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and lived in Chaoyang Palace.

Concubine Ning, Zhao Yunyue, was born in the Shangshu Mansion. Her father was the Minister of Rites and she lived in the Yufu Palace.

Shufei, Qian Naqi, was born in the Shangshu Mansion. Her father was the Minister of Revenue and she lived in Cuiwei Palace.

Concubine Li, also known as Li Yanzhen, whose biological father was the Minister of Dali Temple, lived in Yong'an Palace and was the biological mother of the eldest prince Xiao Yu.

Concubine Sun, also known as Sun Churuo, whose biological father was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, lived in Changle Palace, and was the biological mother of the third prince Xiao Jin.

After coming out of Fengyi Palace, Shen Yao compared this information and compared them one by one with the women who had just left.

Well, these are all important people in the harem. I will have to deal with them a lot in the future, so Shen Yao has to match the people with their names.

Tsk tsk tsk, unexpectedly, Shen Yao thought she would be made difficult, but these people actually started quarreling with each other.

Shen Yao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, thinking that sometimes, she had to trust in luck. Her luck had always been good, otherwise she would not have been able to obtain the system and survive forever in this way.

"master"

Qiuyue called out softly, her eyes never failing to look at the huge crowd that had already left in front of her.

Shen Yao turned around and took Qiuyue on a route in the opposite direction. "Let's go back to the palace. The Queen will take the concubines in the harem to pay respects to the two Queen Mothers. Your master's status is not high enough, so there is no need to follow."

After all, she had not yet been promoted to the position of the head of a palace, so when Shen Yao went to the two empress dowagers' place, she couldn't even enter the main door.

Well, the harem of the Dajing Dynasty is so realistic, especially the current emperor. Both his biological mother and his mother are present, plus there is an emperor emeritus living in Yichang Garden. Wow, it's really lively.

Qiuyue had also been out of the Hehuan Palace in the past few days and knew a lot about some routes in the palace.

Choosing a relatively convenient path, Qiuyue led Shen Yao back to the palace smoothly.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Shen Yao saw Wei Zhu holding a bright yellow imperial edict with a kind smile on her face.

"Eunuch Wei"

Shen Yao nodded, looking somewhat puzzled.

Wei Zhu bowed and congratulated Shen Yao, "I am here to announce the Emperor's order."

Announce the decree?

Shen Yao thought about the account blocking issue that she and Xiao Yanchen had discussed yesterday.

With a clear mind, Shen Yaofu said, "Your concubine Shen accepts the decree."

Wei Zhu opened the bright yellow imperial edict and read out the tongue-twisting words of praise on it.

The general meaning is that Shen Yao performed well and the emperor was very satisfied, so he specially bestowed the title "Xi" on her to show his love for her.

"Lady Xi, please accept my order."

Shen Yao took the imperial edict respectfully, and asked Qiuyue to reward and join in the fun.

Wei Zhu smiled and asked the eunuchs behind him to put down the tray. "Lady Xi, these are the items that the emperor specially selected for you. Please keep them."

Shen Yao listened to Wei Zhu's words, her eyes lingering on the beads on the tray, and she nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hard work, Eunuch."

Wei Zhu waved her hands repeatedly, "My Lord Xi, you are too polite. This is what I should do.

The Taiji Palace is busy, so I will leave first. Please stay, Lady Xi."

"Goodbye, grandpa," Shen Yao gestured to Qiuyue to see her off, while she stood in the courtyard without moving.

Not until Qiuyue, who had gone to deliver the items, returned did Shen Yao have the items registered in the warehouse.

"Put everything you can use on the dressing table, and bring it to the emperor next time he summons you."

After all, it was the emperor who ordered it to be sent, and it would not be good to keep it in the warehouse gathering dust.

Qiuyue responded, "I understand."

Shen Yao served the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber for three consecutive days, and she was transformed from Shen Changzai to Xi Guiren.

But three days later, Xiao Yanchen did not continue to summon Shen Yao to sleep with him. Instead, he rested in Taiji Hall for a day, then went to Fengyi Palace for one night, Chaoyang Palace for one night, and then continued to flip through the names of other new concubines.

Of course, during this period, Shen Yao would still be called by Xiao Yanchen to sleep with him in Taiji Hall.

After a little over a month, all the new concubines who had entered the palace had served the emperor's bed.

Apart from Concubine Xin, who was originally a concubine, only Concubine Xi Shen Yao broke through the siege and registered with Xiao Yanchen.

As for the others, they are ordinary and mediocre, and at first glance they are destined to be invisible cannon fodder.

In mid-October, a sudden snowstorm brought the temperature down.

Winter fell in the harem overnight, and everyone changed into thick palace clothes and bedding. Even the charcoal supplied by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was delivered half a month earlier.

Inside the Hehuan Palace, Shen Yao was wearing a light green palace dress with a circle of beautiful fur around her neck and chest, which kept her warm and looked beautiful.

"Master, I have brought back this month's charcoal from the palace. Would you like to light it now?"

Qiuyue came in, stamped her feet and rubbed her hands, her cheeks were red, it was obvious that she was very cold.

Shen Yao raised her eyes and pointed at the charcoal basin at her feet, "It's still enough.

Go down and drink some hot water to warm yourself up, and then you can have another one later."

Upon hearing this, Qiuyue nodded, turned around and walked out again.

Shen Yao was the only one left in the room. She listened to the muffled sound of the burning charcoal from time to time and reached out to touch her lower abdomen.
