Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 2 Cannon Fodder Concubine (2)
The room was dim, with some faint light coming in through the window covered with gauze.
There is a faint fragrance floating in the space.
The fragrance is very light, not like fruit or spice, but more like a faint fragrance coming from a person.
Shen Yao had already stood up from the dressing table. She was wearing a light-colored gauze skirt embroidered with peach blossoms. The hem of her skirt swayed to the ground, and a piece of beautiful brocade was draped on both sides of her arms, making her look elegant and refined.
In the past, this body would not have brought such a great visual impact to others.
But since her body had been replaced, Shen Yao took a few pills. Not only did she have a fragrant body, but it also repaired the original flaws in her body and improved her figure defects.
Although pills that work on children will have a certain degree of drug loss when used on adults, Shen Yao now feels that such loss is good as she looks at the changes in herself, and she can afford it if it happens a few more times.
Alas, there is no way. She is facing the emperor, an emperor who has seen all the beauties. If she doesn't take out some of her most precious treasures, how can she leave a trace in his heart?
Among the concubines in the palace, only those of the fifth rank can raise children. Now she is only a seventh rank concubine, and she is average among the beauties who entered the palace this time. If she wants to get promoted as soon as possible, she must rely on pregnancy and the emperor's satisfaction to climb up in one go.
But fortunately, there are only two grades, and she feels that with her abilities, it won’t be a big problem.
creak-
"Miss, dinner is ready. Would you like to eat?"
A maid dressed as a servant pushed the door open and stood at the door, bowing and asking questions.
Shen Yao glanced back and said nonchalantly, "Besides dining, there are other things to do."
Although the Shen family is just a small official of the fifth rank, there is a saying that can describe the situation of the Shen family very well, that is, the smaller the temple, the stronger the evil spirits; the shallower the water, the more turtles there are.
With a sarcastic smile on her lips, Shen Yao stood beside the eight-immortals table. Her whole face was bright and dark, making her look particularly scary.
The maid only raised her eyes, her heart trembled, and she quickly lowered her head and replied, "The old lady wants Miss to go over after dinner."
Sure enough, people came.
Shen Yao's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she lowered her head and shook the handkerchief in her hand, "Okay, I know, let's have someone serve the meal quickly."
She came here by herself, receiving memories and taking pills to improve her health, and was very busy.
You have to know that doing these things requires time and energy.
Shen Yao hasn't eaten or slept well for several days since entering the palace, so how could she have so much energy to expend.
Now when he heard the maid mention dinner, he suddenly felt so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore.
Waving his hand, Shen Yao sat down, and with his chin propped up, he looked at the maid who was busy at the door.
Well, if I remember correctly, this person should be the personal maid of the original body, named Chunhua. She is neither good nor bad, and is very good at protecting herself.
Tsk, he's a smart guy, but unfortunately he's not suitable for his original body.
However, it seems that none of the people around the original body are suitable to be used. It seems that when she meets her stepmother tonight, she can mention it appropriately. Her stepmother values benefits. If she can bring enough benefits to the Shen family, then her stepmother will help her.
Very realistic and normal.
Plate after plate of exquisite dishes were served on the table. Shen Yao did not let her stomach go hungry and just ordered whatever she liked.
He ate his dinner quickly with an elegant and noble manner.
Chunhua just lowered her head and served the dishes, not daring to ask her young lady any questions.
"Okay, let's clear the meal."
Reaching out and touching her bulging belly, Shen Yao put down her bowl and chopsticks when she felt she was 80% full.
She stood up and calmly asked Chunyu to clear the table, while she walked around the room.
To help digest the food, when it was almost digested, Shen Yao got up and went out.
Shen Yao has not forgotten that her original cheap grandmother came to her for help.
But what can the other party say? Shen Yao can also infer some clues through the original owner's memories over the years.
It's simply that the family has no financial resources and she can't be allowed to suffer too much, so she must behave herself after entering the palace. If she is lucky enough to give birth to a son or daughter for the emperor, she will take the opportunity to gain some benefits for the family.
Anyway, there is no way to escape from various conflicts of interest. Shen Yao, who has already done several similar tasks, can fully anticipate this.
It’s no wonder that Shen Yao couldn’t muster up the strength. This all started with her original body’s tragic life story.
Shen Yao's biological father, Shen Kang, is a fifth-rank official, and he has been holding this position for twenty years without any promotion or transfer. He is simply a useless person.
Shen Yao's biological mother was the daughter of a declining fourth-rank civil servant.
When they got married, it was consensual. Although the fourth rank is one level higher than the fifth rank, Shen Yao's mother was in poor health and there were problems with offspring.
For a girl like this, it would be impossible to marry into a wealthy family, so she could only look for a man of lower status. Finally, she found the Shen family, and it was understandable that she married Shen Yao's biological father.
Unfortunately, Shen Yao's mother is a person with a bad temper.
I am the type of person who has high aspirations but a fragile life.
It is easy to imagine what a blow it was for Shen Yao's biological mother to end up marrying Shen Yao's biological father.
Just like that, Shen Yao's mother died just one year after giving birth to her.
And her mother's family, that is, Shen Yao's maternal grandfather's family who was a fourth-rank civil servant, offended the powerful Left Prime Minister at that time. Someone found fault with them and exiled them to the southwest on a random pretext, and they were never allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of their lives.
Poor little girl, still a confused child, and now she has lost everything.
This was not the end. Perhaps out of fear of retaliation, or perhaps because they felt that this child was unlucky, the Shen family simply sent Shen Yao, who was just one month old, to a farm in the suburbs to be raised.
After Shen Yao's father finished the mourning period for his wife, he turned around and married the daughter of a sixth-rank official.
Although the step-wife was born into a sixth-rank official's family, this sixth-rank official was different from other sixth-rank officials. Their family was closely related to the Left Prime Minister by marriage.
Just one year after the step-wife came into the family, she gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. She was so lucky, a hundred times better than Shen Yao's biological mother.
With the twins, it took the step-wife another two years to secure her position as the young lady of the Shen family. Just when this narrow-minded step-wife had time to deal with Shen Yao, who lived in a farm far away in the suburbs and had taken her daughter's place as the eldest daughter, something happened to the left prime minister.
The left prime minister was so bold that he resold some military supplies, and was caught by the royal family and clan members.
Well, the border of my Dajing Dynasty is unstable and there are wars every year, but we actually have a traitor in our own country. How dare he!
Just like that, the left prime minister and his family were all gone with a bang.
Including the daughter who married the prince as his principal wife and the grandson born to her.
嘶
The royal family was really ruthless. At that time, no one cared whether you were of royal blood or not. They just went crazy and killed people.
After all, if the Dajing Dynasty was gone, the fate of these people of royal blood would not be easy. They all came here through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Because of the fall of the Left Prime Minister, all the people in his lineage collapsed.
The Right Prime Minister, who had been at odds with the Left Prime Minister for years, began to beat the enemy when he was down, and launched a mad attack on the enemy, whether in the court or outside the court. In short, the Right Prime Minister would not stop until he killed everyone from the Left Prime Minister's lineage.
If such an attitude is adopted, the court will be in chaos.
The attacks among ministers were the least of their worries; many even lost their lives due to being implicated in the scandals due to their own carelessness.
Shen Yao's father, a lowly fifth-rank official, was completely frightened when he saw this scene. He stayed at home obediently and did not go out, no matter who called him.
The stepmother who was originally planning to attack Shen Yao? Thanks to a good cousin, she became sick.
He was bedridden for only three months, which was even faster than Shen Yao's mother's death.
In this way, the twins, a boy and a girl, became another pair of unlucky people after Shen Yao.
Shen Yao was treated equally, and the Shen family hurriedly sent her to a farm in the suburbs with a wet nurse.
I would like to clarify that the twins and Shen Yao do not live in the same place, but they are not far away from each other.
It took more than two years for the incident involving the Left Prime Minister to be completely resolved.
At this time, Shen Yao's father's wife's mourning was successfully completed again.
After that, Shen Yao's father continued to marry.
The one he married this time was the daughter of a seventh-rank official. She was a little old, but given the Shen family's situation, there was no need to be picky.
So the two sides exchanged engagement letters tacitly and got married quickly.
This time, both the Shen family and the stepmother's family were on the fringes of politics, and the probability of being implicated was extremely low. They lived in peace for three years.
Unfortunately, this stepmother had a bad fate. She had a difficult labor during pregnancy and suffered heavy bleeding, resulting in two deaths. She also lost the baby in her belly.
With this, the Shen family became completely famous in the capital and debuted as the center.
It's so dazzling. This marriage record and this result, anyone who sees it will say that the person is really unlucky.
Anyway, Shen Yao really wanted to complain. It was too melodramatic and ridiculous. What the hell was going on?
Shen Yao's current mother is also her father's fourth step-wife.
The daughter of a ninth-rank official had just given birth to a daughter who was less than three years old.
The mother and daughter are like temperless dough. They live cautiously in the Shen family all day long. If there is any trouble, they will stay at home if possible.
The adopted grandmother who is now Shen Yao's stepmother is Shen Yao's father's biological mother, and the creator of these four wives.
Because the wives that Shen Yao's father married were all chosen by a fortune teller who was consulted by Shen Yao's grandmother herself.
They have always put profit above all else, but after nearly twenty years, the Shen family is still standing still and making no progress. No one knows how their fate was calculated.
Shen Yao was speechless. As she walked, she wondered what to say when she got to her step-grandmother.
Don't think that my cheap grandmother is a stupid person because she did these things.
In fact, my cheap grandmother is very smart, but all kinds of things always go wrong and there is no way to reason with her.
