Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

You say what you think.

Because she had only been here a short time ago and didn't know much about this world, Shen Yao kept a low profile.

After hearing Shen Yao's question, Ji said calmly, "There are no princes, but there are several grandchildren.

The two princes that the retired emperor loved the most at that time both left behind their bloodlines.

Now, seven years have passed, and the youngest of those children is twelve years old."

The princes of the Dajing Dynasty could get married, have children and start a family at the age of sixteen.

Judging from the time, this is the most dangerous time for the Dajing Dynasty.

You should know that the two princes that the retired emperor loved died of illness and war respectively. There was no dirty work between them and the emperor. Therefore, the retired emperor has always been very caring towards the grandchildren left by these two princes.

After listening to Ji's words, Shen Yao suddenly realized that he had made an empiricist mistake. He thought that the competition for the throne was a fight between princes, but he didn't know that this could also spread to the emperor's grandson.

Yes, the emperor's grandson is also of royal blood. As long as the emperor likes him, he is no different from his son.

Shen Yao straightened her expression and said, "Yao Niang's ideas are shallow, I hope Grandmother will not give up."

Forget it, I won’t pretend anymore. Shen Yao simply revealed her true colors in front of Ji Shi. This was a good opportunity to learn more about this weird Dajing Dynasty from Ji Shi.

Ji was satisfied with Shen Yao's attitude. She nodded slightly and said, "Yao Niang, the Dajing Dynasty has been passed down for more than three hundred years.

Although there are some injustices in the court now, the country has been peaceful for many years, and the people live and work in peace. Even if there is a change of throne, it will not affect the development of Dajing as a whole."

Otherwise, why are there so many ministers jumping up and down at the moment when the court is unstable?

It's because he thinks he can't earn world-changing credit from outside, so he's thinking about whether he can get some credit by following the dragon to improve his own foundation.

The dynasty and the aristocratic families complement each other and also love and hate each other. The older Ji gets, the clearer he sees this.

“The current Emperor Dajing is the Yuanhe Emperor who ascended the throne seven years ago.

His father, the previous emperor and current emperor emeritus, Emperor Qianyuan, had eight princes and ten princesses during his reign.

Among them, three princes and five princesses died young, and two princes and two princesses died later.

Now, not counting the princes and princesses who have already married, there is only one prince and two princesses still living in the palace.

Of course, after the emperor abdicated, several princes and princesses were born, but they all lived in Yichang Garden and had little to do with the palace.

Now, what grandma wants to tell you is about the princes and princesses during the reign of the previous emperor."

After a pause, Ji reached out to pick up the teacup beside him, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then spoke.

“The current emperor is the sixth son of the saint, and he was only eighteen years old when he ascended the throne.

At that time, the emperor's favorite second and fourth sons had just met with accidents.

The retired emperor was so heartbroken that he vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot.

The position of crown prince had not been appointed yet. The seventh and eighth sons of the retired emperor were one twelve and one less than three years old.

Therefore, Emperor Yuanhe ascended the throne smoothly in less than a month.

It was half a year after Emperor Yuanhe ascended the throne that the retired emperor woke up. Half a month later, the retired emperor took his concubines and children to live in Yichang Garden, where they have lived until now.

During this period, even when one of Emperor Yuanhe's half-sisters got married, the emperor did not return to the palace.

Until this year, when the two princes’ sons who died young were about to reach adulthood, Emperor Qianyuan made an exception and returned to the palace to personally select concubines for the two princes’ sons.”

Having said that, Ji has finished what he wanted to say.

Shen Yao suddenly realized something. So that's why. No wonder the daughter of the Minister of Rites wanted to push her to enter the palace in this selection, because this person was probably considering marrying her into the prince's palace.

Ji smiled slightly, "It's good that you thought of it. There's nothing we can do about it."

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

Even though Emperor Yuanhe is the emperor now, he is really not competitive compared to his nephews.

“We women don’t talk about court affairs. We just say that during the seven years since Emperor Yuanhe ascended the throne, he held three beauty pageants. There were more than 20 to 30 concubines in the harem, but only three princes. It can be seen that the harem is not that simple.

Moreover, all the princes and princesses born to Emperor Yuanhe in recent years were weak without exception. "In this case, who would dare to send their daughters to the palace?

Shen Yao was shocked by the data that Ji said. She was not afraid, but just listening to this kind of thing made her feel that there was something strange in the palace.

"Due to the harem conquest?"

It was inevitable that the concubines would fight against each other and their offspring would be lost.

After all, there are not many people in the palace who can take things as they come like her.

They are all ambitious people, all aiming for the one and only throne.

Ji nodded and shook his head, “Not all of it, it’s also due to nature.

It’s not just the descendants of Emperor Yuanhe. The earlier Emperor Qianyuan and the now married Prince Yi also had difficulty in having children. Not only were they hard to survive after birth, but there were also many miscarriages during pregnancy.”

With such data support, court officials including the emperor all acknowledged that it would be difficult for the royal family to have offspring.

Otherwise, if it was really caused by external forces, the harem would have been cleared out by the royal family long ago.

When you have many offspring, you can still talk a lot about fighting, but when you have few offspring, fighting is just courting death.

Of course, Ji’s words do not mean that there is no fighting in the harem.

Where there are many women, there are many troubles. Since it concerns offspring, there will be fights, but it will not be as serious as Shen Yao imagined.

"If the line is crossed, the royal family will take action themselves," Ji said here, and pointed out the window with a smile on his face. "In recent years, several concubines of all sizes have died in the harem every year. Could it be that these people are all sick?" How could there be such a coincidence? It's just a simple cover-up to save face for the royal family.

After listening to Ji's words, Shen Yao muttered in her heart about the royal family of the Dajing Dynasty here.

It may be that there are similar problems that the Song Dynasty encountered in reality.

The royal family’s genes are not good, so there is a high casualty rate among the princes and princesses born.

The external environment will also have an impact, but compared with one's own internal problems, it is still nothing.

call

In that case, she could breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, as long as the situation in the palace was not one of bloodshed.

The most common items in her system are various pills for offspring. Even if the offspring are born with congenital development deficiencies in the mother's womb, she has a way to solve the problem.

"Grandmother, the emperor now has three sons. What do you think Yao Niang should do when she enters the palace?"

Shen Yao once again tested Ji's attitude.

Ji looked at Shen Yao with a playful look in his eyes, "I'm old, and what an old woman thinks is not important.

Yao Niang, when you enter the palace in the future, the Shen family won’t be able to help you much.

So, it all depends on you.”

Shen Yao snorted in her heart, thinking, is Ji's cheap grandmother practicing Tai Chi with her?

But, I am not as good as the other party wants.

"Yao Niang thinks that relying on Yao Niang alone, she may not be able to cope with the life in the palace."

She has small arms and legs, and there is no one to help her in the palace. Whatever she wants to do will be restricted. This is not acceptable.

Ji once again fiddled with the beads in her hand, "What does Yao Niang want?"

Shen Yao smiled brightly, "Let's work together," those who have money can contribute money, those who have strength can contribute strength, don't think you can get an advantage without paying anything.

Is it so easy to take advantage of Shen Yao?

Shen Yao's words successfully choked Ji. Ji looked at Shen Yao, who was like a little fox. Besides being angry, he was also more grateful and relieved.

It seems that this granddaughter of hers has some wisdom even if she lives on Zhuangzi.

That’s good. At least I don’t have to worry that this child will lose his competitiveness once he enters the palace.

Now that she has entered the palace, moving up the ladder without involving her family will definitely be beneficial to the Shen family.

Shen Yao's generation has three legitimate daughters, all of whom will be good marriage candidates in the future.

But the prerequisite is that if Shen Yao does well in the palace, even if she can't become the mother of the royal heir, just living a good life will be a help to their Shen family.

You have to know that for women whose families enter the palace, other sisters in the family do not need to participate in the second selection. This is a transaction between imperial power and the clan.

Shen Yao stayed at the Ji family for quite some time, and the two of them, grandmother and granddaughter, seldom met each other on weekdays.

A face-to-face exploratory communication like this would not have happened if Shen Yao had not been about to enter the palace.

"It's getting late, Yao Niang, please don't disturb Grandma. Please go to bed."

Shen Yao stood up respectfully and left Ji's room with a calm expression.

Ji fiddled with the beads on her hand with one hand and watched Shen Yao leave with a gloomy look. She was still old.

Shen Yao, who was leaving, had no idea that her cheap grandmother would sigh after hearing her talk.

Shen Yao was feeling very relaxed at the moment. She had already heard a lot of information about the royal family from her cheap grandmother. Combining her survival experience from several previous worlds, including her original world, she could easily infer that this mission might not be difficult.

The reason is simple. There is a problem with the royal family's genes. As long as she can give birth to a healthy child and raise the child to adulthood, she will be a treasure in the open.

Will people attack babies?

Perhaps Shen Yao doesn't even need to do anything to other people. Just by relying on her own children, she can get rid of the other 90% of unqualified offspring.

Tsk, not bad, not bad, if you can avoid fighting, then don’t fight. Even though Shen Yao likes to complain, she is still a lazy person at heart.

Shen Yao cares more about her own life and enjoyment. As for greater pursuits, Shen Yao does not agree with it.

People are simple and contented. She just hasn't lived enough and doesn't like to fight for power and profit.

"Miss"

Chunhua looked at the young lady who was different from before and called out tentatively.

"what happened?"

Shen Yao was in a good mood and looked back at Chunhua who was walking beside her.

Chunhua shook her head, and after hesitating, she said, "I just feel that the young lady is different from before." She felt more relaxed and comfortable.

"Isn't this good? After all, you are going to enter the palace."

Shen Yao looked up at the sky filled with stars that looked like chess pieces, and felt that there was nothing wrong with experiencing this life after life. This alternative chance of eternal life was something that many people could not ask for.
