Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Qi Chen still did it? It seems that this person is not stupid and can listen to what is said."

In the inner room of the courtyard, Shen Yao sat beside the eight-immortal table, playing with the round fan that she used to fan herself and cool down.

The round fan is only the size of a palm, with a small and exquisite shape, but it produces strong wind when used. This is an ingenious idea thought up by the craftsmen in the palace.

Whenever the weather is hot, Shen Yao always has a few beautiful round fans in her hands.

"Host, let's not talk about the mansion first. Don't you care about your children who are far away in the capital? They are in big trouble this time."

The system felt that the peaceful life in Changzhou Prefecture and the dire situation in the capital were a stark contrast.

The capital city is worthy of being the capital of Qi State. All kinds of conspiracies and intrigues are played out there every day.

During the time when the system was not chatting with the host, it took advantage of the situation and got to know a lot of gossips in the capital.

Things like the discord in a certain minister's harem and the jealousy between his wife and concubine are all small matters, but there are also various cases of being cuckolded and having intimate relationships with family members that are beyond the normal range... It is simply a legendary version of a bloody ethical drama.

The system is like a civet immersed in a melon field, looking around and seeing the hustle and bustle.

As a result, the melon eater accidentally ate himself, and the system also knew that Qi Haochen had an accident in the carriage.

Shen Yao didn't even need to ask, the system started sharing what everyone liked to hear.

Because of the special nature of the system, it can even know many inside stories that other people don’t know.

Shen Yao:......

The fan in his hand stopped, "Are you just going to watch them get bullied? They are your targets after all."

Who did Shen Yao complete the task for? The system can count on Qi Haochen to get the reward.

system:…….

The system said that there was still a host. Besides, Qi Haochen did not suffer any loss. Instead, he turned a disaster into a blessing and was rewarded with a bunch of treasures by the emperor. He was much better than others. Even the culprit who directed and acted in the crime himself was not as capable as him.

Shen Yao smiled, "You can't look at it that way. I can only say that Chen'er is lucky. If it weren't for Shi'er and Zhen'er by his side, he would still have suffered this loss."

After all, the mastermind behind this was targeting these princes, and he even used himself as bait. Isn't this enough to prove something with such courage and boldness?

'But you also reminded me that the dispute in the capital has been made public.

It seems that the emperor's condition is not very good, and everyone is eager to get that position.'

Once you climb up, you will be above everyone else and own the entire Qi state.

The system lamented that there have always been many such people throughout history, and even its own host had the same idea.

'Chen'er can really reach the top in one step, which is of great benefit to you and me.

Especially in the context of such a natural disaster, it is a great merit to be able to allow the people under his rule to live and work in peace and contentment, and avoid displacement.'

This side of the Heavenly Dao has to give them some extra benefits no matter what.

The system had previously said that her actions would cause the refugees to die and lose points. As long as Qi Haochen ascended the throne later, Shen Yao’s losses would be doubled.

If you think about it carefully, the current loss is just the small profit in the future. Shen Yao has always had a talent for business.

The system admires the host for having such a flexible mind. No wonder every time he arrives in a new world, he can complete the corresponding tasks quickly and well.

"Be good and we can talk about it when we return to the consciousness space. Now we should focus on the business."

Shen Yao put down the fan in her hand, stood up, walked around the screen and came to the bed in the inner room.

'Keep watching Qi Chen and Qi Haochen, and notify me if there is any movement.

The situation in the capital will affect the fiefdom. If something happens to the future heir of the fiefdom, the stability of the entire Qi State will be threatened.'

The prince who is chosen must have a lot of things on his shoulders.

A royal palace can have many heirs, but there is only one crown prince.

In the past few years, a large number of princes and grandchildren who went to the capital have fallen without being noticed.

If the emperor does not take action to control the situation, it will be too late when all the people who have gone there return to their fiefdoms in disgrace.

What would happen if it was too late? Qi would fall into civil strife, and the state power that had been stable for more than a hundred years would fall apart and cease to exist.

Snapped--

Shen Yao threw the hairpin she had taken off from her hair onto the dressing table without paying attention. She reached out to lower the curtains on both sides and lay down on the bed to rest.

Shen Yao has been busy with the resettlement of refugees outside the city these days and has rarely had a good night's sleep.

Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and relax no matter what.

At the same time, the refugees who received Qi Chen's hints were full of hope for the future as they held the food they had finally distributed.

"Grandpa, can we do it? Will those people let us into the city?"

The children were ignorant and only remembered that they walked and walked until they finally got enough food to survive.

"Yes, Goudan, be obedient. We'll have enough to eat when we get into the city."

That adult would never lie to anyone, so they returned the food.

Even though the food in my arms are all high-yield coarse grains, it's enough as long as it can satisfy my hunger. Don't be too picky at this time. The most important thing is to save your life first.

……

Shen Yao grasped human nature very well. Many refugees came back and blocked the fiefdoms of other princes.

Although these princes were very angry and were all losing their temper in their mansions, just as Shen Yao had estimated before, they did not dare to act rashly.

This place is too close to the capital. If they can't hold it in, they will be the ones who will suffer.

They care more about their own situation than these dispensable refugees.

When Qi Chen got the latest news, he laughed out loud and even ate a few more bowls of food that day.

Seeing Qi Chen so happy, Shen Yao didn't say anything to spoil his mood.

"Your Majesty, try the freshly cooked soup from the kitchen. It will be very good for your health."

Qi Chen is no longer young and is almost reaching the age of knowing the destiny.

If it were an ordinary family, at this time, three generations would be living together and surrounded by grandchildren.

They don't look like a royal family at all. They don't care about family affection at all. They all stare at the muddy water in the capital with red eyes.

It's really muddy. You will drown if you are not careful.

"Prince Duan is dead, and Prince Kang and Prince Rui are seriously ill.

Yaoer, I'm afraid neither of us can go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this year."

Qi Chen drank a sip of the soup that Shen Yao served, and his expression returned to its original calm.

"Prince Duan, this is the third prince that Prince Duan has requested to be appointed."

Prince Duan was a few years younger than Qi Chen. Although he had some sons, they all died.

Now that another one is gone, "Will Prince Duan continue to send people to the capital?"

If I remember correctly, Princess Duan's two sons, one died and the other was injured, and there was no suitable candidate in the royal family's direct line.

"I heard that Prince Duan doted on the son born to his concubine, and that concubine was very successful and still had one child."

Qi Chen put down the soup bowl in his hand and said, "I should continue to send people to Beijing." He will never give up until he dies.

……

The issue of refugees outside the city was not dealt with until August when the imperial decree from the capital came down.

The decree merely formally clarified that the refugees needed to be received by the surrounding cities.

This had no impact on Qi Chen's Changzhou Prefecture, so he simply ordered people to enter the city, and those who had no place to stay were given a place to stay. Relatives were allowed to go find them, and those who wanted to return to their hometowns were also allowed to leave smoothly.

However, the refugees who were able to escape basically had no way to make a living in the local area, otherwise they would not leave their homes.

"Yao'er, the emperor has temporarily handed over the management of Quzhou Prefecture, which is adjacent to Guangping Prefecture, to me."

Qi Chen's expression was indescribably strange, and in Shen Yao's eyes he seemed to be taking advantage of others.

The authority of a prefecture was simply obtained. Even if it was not a fiefdom, it was almost the same as a fiefdom.

“Your Majesty, Quzhou Prefecture is close to the sea and is more dependent on the sea salt business than Guangping Prefecture.

You are in charge of this place for the emperor. Will the taxation remain the same?"

Management rights are not the same as territory, and Quzhou Prefecture is still in the emperor's pocket.

This decree was probably related to the resettlement of refugees outside the city.

Other princes have only one prefecture, but Qi Chen has three prefectures. Considering the pressure Qi Chen is under, the emperor will definitely compensate him a little.

Qi Haochen in the capital is too young, and too much reward will attract attention to others. It is better to focus on Qi Chen and get the job done in one go. This may be the main reason why the emperor transferred Quzhou Prefecture here.

Reaching out and touching his chin, Qi Chen smiled and pulled Shen Yao to express that he would appropriately increase taxes, "My brother knows how much water there is in the sea salt business.

I can't just accept the gift from my brother without giving anything in return."

Anyway, these people make enough money, and they can pay a little more to fill the national treasury, which will benefit the country and the people.

Before even going to Quzhou Prefecture, he had already planned how to take advantage of the situation.

Qi Chen was ready to fight, and under Shen Yao's gaze, he mentioned that two princes of the royal palaces in the capital had been in trouble. Speaking of this, it was slightly related to Qi Haochen. He was accidentally poisoned in the palace, and Qi Haochen almost fell to the ground, but he didn't have time to eat, so he survived.

Shen Yao:......

The capital city is quite lively these days.

"Your Highness, the poisoning happened in public, right under the Emperor's nose," was this a deliberate slap in the Emperor's face.

Qi Chen chuckled twice, "The Emperor has already conducted a thorough investigation and found that it was two concubines in the harem who were jealous of each other and deliberately framed me."

When the news arrived, the two had already been ordered to be executed by the emperor.

Shen Yao didn't believe it, "The dispute in the harem can involve the two princes of the palace," maybe some people are deliberately making trouble and using the two concubines in the harem.

Qi Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Except for the emperor, no one else knows what is going on inside."

The rumor that spread identified it as a dispute within the harem, and presumably the emperor also intended not to pursue the matter, at least that was the case on the surface.

"The two families involved in the incident have been appeased by the emperor, and their lives are not in danger. The mansion can still select a new prince." The matter will only be completely covered up as time goes by.

As for what the truth is? It doesn't matter.

When surviving in the royal family, the first thing to consider is interests; truth and feelings are the least worth mentioning things.

When the two talked about the situation in the capital, they usually just mentioned it briefly and then didn't think about it any more.

After all, it is somewhat far away from their lives. Even if Qi Haochen is experiencing it, Qi Haochen is fine. They have done what they should do, and there is nothing they can do about the rest.

The issue of refugees in the fiefdom is currently their top priority. People's livelihood is related to the prosperity of the entire city, and this is also the basis for Qi Haochen's future.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Just as Qi Chen said, neither of them was able to return to Beijing.

Qi Haochen's reply letter contained mixed feelings, but the overall situation was good. Compared with the dire situation of others, he was still optimistic.

However, in order to make himself less of a loner, Qi Haochen would occasionally suffer a little loss.

It won't hurt your body, but it will make you embarrassed and be laughed at by others.

Fortunately, Qi Haochen doesn't care about these false reputations at all, as long as he can get benefits.

In March, when spring was in full bloom, Qi Haochen brought Shen Shi and others back from the capital to their fiefdom.

"Why did you run back?"

Shen Yao looked surprised. Although she had received the news from the system a long time ago, she was still surprised when Qi Haochen really appeared in front of her.

They hadn't seen each other for two years. Shen Yao was busy with the affairs of her fiefdom and had no time to spare, while Qi Haochen was trapped in the capital and couldn't leave.

Only Qi Chen could spend two days with Qi Haochen when he occasionally returned to Beijing, but it was just a drop in the bucket and could not quench his thirst.

"Mother, it is the Emperor's uncle's special permission that I will return to the capital in a few days."

Qi Haochen shook his head. The boy had lost his childishness and was completely different from when he left.

Shen Yao looked Qi Haochen up and down carefully to make sure that her child was okay, then she asked them to step forward and go into the house to reminisce.

They are all Shen Yao's children. Now Qi Haochen is the only one who can act like a spoiled child. As Shen Shi and the others grow older, they have become more serious.

Including Shen Zhen, who had learned medical skills, his expression was tense and he didn't speak easily.

Shen Yao was helpless, "We are all family, so we don't mind being exhausted every day."

No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of her, so why bother?

Shen Yao didn't understand, but Shen Zhen was determined to maintain her character. She also mentioned that she learned her style of doing things from those imperial doctors.

The more capable a doctor is, the more stable he must be. She has already reached the relevant threshold. If she had not been reluctant to leave her brother, she would not have chosen to stay in the depressing capital.

When mother and son get together, they have a lot more to talk about.

Especially since Qi Haochen spent most of his time in the capital in the palace, unlike Shen Shi, Shen Zhen and others who could move around outside. He is now more familiar with the capital than the palace.

Correspondingly, he also knew about the things happening in the palace, such as the various conspiracies and schemes, which he had experienced firsthand.

He happily showed off his intelligence to Shen Yao, but was sabotaged by Shen Zhen in various ways.

These two people have the smallest age difference and are the ones who can get along the best.

Shen Yao and Shen Shi watched them bickering helplessly, but in their hearts they were more happy to see it happen.

Well, it’s always better for siblings to be close than to become enemies.

As it grew darker, Qi Chen and Shen Cheng returned and the family of six had a simple meal.

"We will prepare a welcoming banquet in two days. Chen'er, accompany your father to attend then."

As the future head of Luo Wang Mansion, Qi Haochen's return must be grand.

Not to mention the far-flung Dongchang Prefecture and Guangping Prefecture, even officials from Changzhou Prefecture had to come and pay their respects, which was considered an unspoken rule.
