Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 237: Monks Should Strengthen Themselves (7)
"Sister Shen, my grandmother and mother asked me to tell you not to be polite with the Duke's Mansion."
They are soon to be a family, and being polite to each other seems awkward.
It is already March, the weather is getting warmer, and the whole capital city is bustling again.
Shen Yao no longer lives at the farm, but has returned to her residence in Beijing to prepare for her wedding.
Because she has no parents, Shen Yao has to prepare everything by herself.
The Duke's Mansion saw this and felt sorry for Shen Yao's situation, so they arranged for Ren Minmin, who had been hiding at home for almost half a year, to come and help.
Although Ren Minmin has grown a lot, she still looks a little childish, but her mature behavior impresses Shen Yao.
Sure enough, people will grow up after some incidents. New Year's Eve, the emperor killed a group of court officials, causing the entire court to be in turmoil, and it was not until after the New Year that things slowly calmed down.
The Duke's Mansion is naturally safe, but things like this also make them wary.
The third prince was almost in trouble, and their Duke's Mansion would have to pay a huge price.
Whether those letters from Duke Xian's Mansion were true or false was not something they could investigate deeply. They only understood one thing: if the king wanted his subjects to die, the subjects had to die.
The emperor can no longer tolerate the Xian Guo Mansion, and sooner or later it will be the turn of the Jing Guo Mansion to receive such treatment.
Before Ren Minmin came, the Duke had submitted his resignation letters several times, but all were rejected by the Emperor without exception.
For this reason, the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince in the palace were very dissatisfied. After all, if the Duke's Mansion retreated, they would lose a useful force.
"Sister Shen has been wronged in this marriage," Ren Minmin felt embarrassed. It was because they were making trouble with the palace, which directly affected the third brother's marriage.
She was angry that the imperial concubine in the palace was too partial to Shen Yao, and Ren Minmin and the Duke's Mansion wanted to compensate Shen Yao more and more.
Shen Yao naturally understood this mentality, but she didn't have much to do here. Instead, Ren Chengzhou's side was more troublesome. The Duke's Mansion and the palace were trying to show off, and Ren Chengzhou was the one who felt the most uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I'm used to it. Besides, it's most important for me that my grandmother and uncle can leave the court safely."
They found an opportunity for the two unmarried couples to meet.
It had been a while since we last parted, and Ren Chengzhou was in good spirits, but his body was obviously a little weaker.
Shen Yao was annoyed that this person never took his body seriously. She tried to help him regulate his body, but the mutual torture between the dragon energy and the spiritual energy still existed.
Ren Chengzhou is now doing whatever he wants by relying on his youth. When he gets older, I'm afraid he will really become a sick beauty.
“The disputes in the palace have nothing to do with us. Whether the Duke’s Mansion can safely withdraw from the competition for the new emperor depends on the attitude of the emperor.
However, if we offend the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince in this way, the Duke's Mansion will not be reused when the Third Prince ascends the throne in the future.
New emperors have always liked to use their own people. If the Duke's Mansion withdraws halfway, it will be seen as a stab in the back by the other party.
Ren Chengzhou looked fearless. He stretched out his hand and gently pulled Shen Yao to his side and hugged her. "Yao'er, you should know that the Third Prince is not the only brother I have."
His mother, Concubine Jiang, gave birth to three sons and one daughter, but he was kept away from the palace because of the twins, and Concubine Jiang valued the eldest son more.
In fact, the seventh prince Jiang Chengyu, who was born four years later, is also Ren Chengzhou's younger brother.
"Grandmother and uncle intend to support Chengyu. Compared with the third prince, Chengyu has a better chance."
Although the Third Prince has the advantage of age, Ren Chengzhou is still alive. They are twins, and although their looks are only 70% similar, someone with ulterior motives can still use this as a handle to block the Third Prince's path to the throne.
It was not pointed out before because Ren Chengzhou's health was too poor. Both inside and outside the palace, it was assumed that Ren Chengzhou would not live long.
What is the Third Prince worried about? Brothers with similar appearances will not be a threat.
But the situation is different now. Ren Chengzhou was saved by Shen Yao's medical skills, and the third prince in the palace was visibly panicked.
"If the Seventh Prince ascends to the throne, it will be beneficial to both the Duke's Mansion and the palace."
Shen Yao did not forget that something had happened to the previous five princes. That was a black spot that could be picked out at any time. As long as the emperor intended to choose one of them, related rumors would surely spread throughout the capital.
As an old man with experience in palace fighting, Shen Yao can deduce a lot of things.
Ren Chengzhou didn't say much, but Shen Yao could guess it.
"Yao'er, I'll have to bear with you a little bit from now on. We will probably be far away from the capital."
Whether he was doing it openly for the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince to see, or to let other people let down their guard, Ren Chengzhou had to hide first.
Shen Yao smiled and said, "There's no need for us to be so polite.
Life on the farm is easy and has no distractions. I couldn’t ask for more.”
And after they get married, Ren Chengzhou can learn from the cultivation booklet, so that the children she gives birth to will have better qualifications.
Why did Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou get married? Mission was the first priority.
……
With Ren Chengzhou's words as a foundation, Shen Yao stayed indoors for the next month.
Despite this, there are still some foolish people who commit crimes in front of her.
Shen Yao promptly captured the man and reported to the police. At first, the government did not take her seriously, but she had the Duke's Mansion and Ren Chengzhou to help her, so she was not someone that could fool her.
In this way, after several consecutive actions, the people behind the scenes had the impression that Shen Yao was not someone to be trifled with. Until she got married in May, Shen Yao lived a stable life.
call
"It's not easy. These people dare to reach out to other places and use this to plot against a weak woman like me. It's really despicable."
If you want to fight for a position, just fight for it yourself. Instead of hiding behind and working hard to improve yourself, you choose to hold others back. It seems that the quality of the emperor's several alternative successors is worrying.
'The host also retaliated, I'm sure they must be regretting it now.'
Why did he have to touch his own host? Just looking at the pile of shining treasures in the host's space, how could a mere mortal be a match for the host.
The system snorted inwardly, thinking that being haunted by nightmares was just a minor punishment and would only become more serious later on.
After all, poor sleep is very torturous, and even some people with weak minds are afraid of falling asleep.
The system did not forget to share with its host the miserable conditions of those people, especially the third prince, and finally lamented that people should not be too mean, as they will easily suffer retribution.
Shen Yao:......
"You are a system, and you still believe in karma?" Some worlds don't even have this function of consciousness, and what they say is just words of comfort.
"With the host here, and the world consciousness not being stupid, some things are destined to happen."
The system seemed mysterious, but in Shen Yao's eyes it was just idle.
Maybe all the troublemakers in the capital have been dealt with by her recently and are temporarily out of action. The system doesn't want to see other people's excitement. There is a difference between a full banquet and light porridge and side dishes. Who would like a bland taste in their mouth?
Wearing a red dress and a crown, Shen Yao arrived at the room smoothly.
After sending away the servants, Shen Yao stood up and took a look around the interior. It was not bad, at least the decorations were not something she disliked.
There was a commotion outside. Even though the imperial concubine and the third prince did not come, the seventh prince and people from the Duke's Mansion were there, and the emperor also sent gifts. Ren Chengzhou's wedding banquet was not bad.
However, considering Ren Chengzhou's physical condition, he did not touch any of the wine at the banquet. It was all handled by the Duke's Mansion and the Seventh Prince.
After all, no matter how much some people look down on Ren Chengzhou in their hearts, they still have to give him face in front of others. A good background can indeed ward off a lot of trouble.
With flushed cheeks, Ren Chengzhou looked even more handsome and energetic in his red clothes.
squeak-
Shen Yao looked up and saw Ren Chengzhou coming in.
The two smiled at each other, and the tension they had originally felt disappeared.
"Why are you back? Are the people outside still here?" Shen Yao walked up to Ren Chengzhou, looked him over, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was fine.
No wonder she was so nervous, after getting married, she and Ren Chengzhou would be a family.
There are some fallbacks that can be considered, but that doesn’t mean Shen Yao expects the day when those fallbacks will be useful.
"I came to see you. I have my seventh brother and his family taking care of me, so I can relax now."
No one dares to be unhappy on a happy day. Ren Chengzhou has a good temper, but that doesn't mean he has no temper.
Holding Shen Yao's wrist, Ren Chengzhou took her to the inner room to sit down and rest. The atmosphere between the two was harmonious, and they talked and laughed until it was dark soon.
They each went to the bathroom to wash and tidy themselves up. Shen Yao refused the servants' service and took out the pill and swallowed it.
The familiar steps came together naturally, and when Shen Yao opened her eyes again, it was already early the next morning.
Shen Yao:...Hmm?
There was no trace of Ren Chengzhou around him, but from the noise outside the door, he should be going to the palace to pay his respects.
When we were resting last night, Ren Chengzhou mentioned going to the palace today.
Ren Chengzhou meant that he should be fine on his own. The imperial concubine in the palace was not someone who was easy to get along with, and Shen Yao would probably be bullied by her if she went there.
Shen Yao was naturally not afraid of the imperial concubine acting in this way, but she was also happy to avoid this situation.
As for not going to the palace to pay respects, isn't there still Ren Chengzhou? After they get married, they will go to the farm, and the only place that has frequent contact with the capital is the Duke's Mansion.
As long as the Duke's Mansion has no objection, Shen Yao will not take the initiative to cause trouble for herself. She is not going to go the palace fighting route, so what does it have to do with her whether her cheap mother-in-law likes it or not.
Sitting up from the bed, Shen Yao and the system in her mind felt that Ren Chengzhou's body was stronger than she had imagined. Based on what happened last night, she was very satisfied.
system:……
The system thinks that the host is too frivolous and that there are certain things that cannot be said without permission, or else the host will be locked up in a small dark room.
Shen Yao rolled her eyes unceremoniously, without any reserve of a beauty.
"How did the offspring come from? I couldn't have created them out of thin air."
You even dare to complain that what she said was too explicit. I'll be anxious when she stops completing the mission later.
hum~
After getting out of bed and calling the servant waiting at the door, Shen Yao sat in front of the dressing table to wash and dress, and then went to the main room to have breakfast.
As for Ren Chengzhou? He hasn't come out of the palace yet. He must have been tripped up by something.
Shen Yao found something to do for herself, such as organizing some medicinal herbs or reading a book in the study. She hid in her room to practice until Ren Chengzhou appeared in the courtyard in a hurry, his face as ugly as ever.
Raising an eyebrow, Shen Yao moved closer and handed over the teacup in her hand.
When Ren Chengzhou saw Shen Yao coming over, he had already adjusted his facial expression.
However, he did not hide it from Shen Yao. The situation in the palace was not good, and they had to go to the farm as soon as possible.
"Yao'er, your medical skills are outstanding. I'm worried that they will try to drag you into the trap."
Ren Chengzhou had to admit that he, a cheap prince, did not have enough weight, at least not in front of his parents.
If someone had to be sacrificed one day, he would be the first choice.
So after much thought, Ren Chengzhou decided to hide away first and then push the Seventh Prince to the throne.
As long as this younger brother with good character can get promoted quickly enough, there will be no problem with his parents.
"Father heard about immortality from some wandering Taoist priest and is planning to learn the art of immortality."
Ren Chengzhou entered the palace today and happened to witness the emperor's ridiculous behavior. Thinking of his wife's superb medical skills, Ren Chengzhou was afraid that the emperor would go crazy.
"Cheng Zhou, will it be useful if we hide away?" They were not far away, so it would be easy for the emperor to summon them.
Ren Chengzhou smiled and signaled Shen Yao to stay calm. "It will be useful. After we leave, the capital will be in chaos and the emperor will not be able to take care of us."
The capital is in chaos?
A question mark popped up in Shen Yao's mind, but she didn't ask how things would get out of control. Anyway, the emperor wanted to achieve immortality, so his remaining life would pass quickly.
The five years I mentioned before are now halfway through, so it’s about time.
Nodding, Shen Yao pulled Ren Chengzhou to sit down, and the two called the servants to pack their bags quickly.
This palace was originally a reward from the palace, and the things inside were also purchased by the palace. There are very few items that belong to the two of them.
The servants were asked to clean up and everything was done in less than half an hour.
Shen Yao accompanied Ren Chengzhou for a late breakfast, and then the two of them got on a carriage and went to the Duke's Mansion.
I don't mean any other thing, but because I'm going to the farm, I have to pay a visit to the Duke's Mansion.
As for the Seventh Prince, Ren Chengzhou met this nice younger brother when he was in the palace. The two of them briefly exchanged information and then went back to their homes.
Now, they only need to go to the Duke's Mansion and they can go to the farm without any worries.
"It's good to go. Your uncle's retirement resignation has been approved this time. You may as well live happily in the farm instead of staying in the capital."
So it’s good to leave, it’s a state where you are fine, I am fine, and everyone is fine.
Shen Yao sat below He and agreed with He's words with a smile.
Occasionally he would add that Ren Chengzhou's health also depended on the tranquility of the farm. This excuse was universal and he was not afraid of being found guilty by others.
"Sister Shen, it's a pity that I can't go with you this time."
Ren Minmin sent Shen Yao out of the He family courtyard. She had been looking for someone recently, and the Duke's Mansion wanted to arrange the marriage first, so Ren Minmin was restricted from going out.
Otherwise, if it were any other time, Ren Minmin would have run away happily.
"Be obedient. Your aunt and the others are doing this for your own good. You can breathe a sigh of relief now that it's settled."
What if the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince are so busy that they use Ren Minmin's marriage as a bargaining chip?
The Duke's Mansion and the Imperial Concubine are closely connected. Even though the Duke can step down, he cannot get rid of his blood relationship with the Imperial Concubine.
This is also the main reason why the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince could refrain from taking action against the Duke's Mansion even if they were extremely angry.
