Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 433 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (1)
Yu Dynasty, Capital
The New Year had just passed and the festive atmosphere had not yet dissipated, but the people of the entire capital were already excited about the beauty pageant.
Ordinary families are just there to watch the fun, but the families of officials who are truly qualified to run for election are filled with mixed feelings, and it is really lively.
Shen Family Residence
It was just an ordinary room in the inner courtyard, where a young girl was lying on a couch and fainted.
Shen Yao held up her dizzy and swollen forehead with one hand, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Oh, she traveled through time again.
"System, we rested for a long time this time," so much so that when she re-entered her new body, she was still a little mentally uncomfortable.
"Yes, the last mission was completed very well, and we rested in the system space for a while." If the world host was not interested in this mission, they would have given up and wanted to wait and see.
This is also because of the frequent errors in the previous mission worlds, and the system gave compensation.
Increase the host's opportunities to actively choose, thereby motivating the host to complete the task.
"It's been a while since I've been to the ancient world. Let's sort out our memories and see what's going on."
After giving the system a few words of advice, Shen Yao suddenly felt a little cold.
Shen Yao casually took out two pills that were good for the body from the space and swallowed them. Then she pulled the coat beside her and draped it over her shoulders slightly loosely.
Five minutes later, the system made a ding-dong sound and transmitted the original body's memories to the mind.
Shen Yao had to lie on her side to digest the situation. When she finally opened her eyes, she felt a little disappointed.
Is this person stupid? At this time, why is he looking for a cheap cousin? Wouldn't it be nice to enter the palace and become a concubine?
"Host, given the original owner's background, she could only climb up from a low-ranking concubine after entering the palace. Isn't it too difficult to become a royal concubine?" The system is realistic and thinks that the host should not be too ambitious.
You have to know that the original owner's body is of illegitimate origin, and his biological father is only a third-rank lieutenant general. Military officers have always been less valuable than civil officers. Not only is his status as a candidate automatically inferior, but he also has to compete with a group of beauties when entering the palace. The system is really worried about the host's personal safety.
Shen Yao:......
"System, thank you for your understanding." Are they looking down on her? Have they forgotten that they have an advantage that no one else has?
"The current emperor is over thirty years old and has no children yet. But the emperor's brothers all have some little ones in their families. Do you think the emperor should be anxious?"
'Speaking of the situation in the Yu Dynasty, it is no exaggeration to say that it was plagued by internal and external troubles.
The borders were constantly harassed and invaded by enemies, but here in the capital there was peace and prosperity, and a life of decadence and debauchery.
With such a sign of the end of the dynasty, do you think there is still hope for the Yu Dynasty?'
system:……
The system was speechless after hearing the host's question. Its brain didn't react for a long time before it finally replied tremblingly, "What does this have to do with the host entering the palace?"
Shen Yao snapped her fingers, "Of course it is related. It's a huge relationship."
What is the function of the childbearing system? What is the function of the mother's family in this body of mine?
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.
Since I can give birth, I should enter the palace. Since the Shen family is a military officer, I should go to the battlefield and make a difference.
But to achieve all this, I need the emperor's approval. Otherwise, how can I give birth to a child alone? How can our Shen family go to the battlefield without soldiers?'
After listening to the host's long words, the system finally understood (?) the host's purpose, which was to enter the palace.
"But host, the person chosen by the Shen family to enter the palace is your elder sister."
"Don't worry, it hasn't been put on the list yet, I can fight for it myself."
After saying this, Shen Yao got off the couch and called the maid waiting at the door to help her tidy up her clothes. Shen Yao was thinking about the situation of the Shen family in her heart.
As for the Shen family, it's simple to explain. Shen Yao's biological father, Shen Chunbai, is a third-rank lieutenant general. He has not moved his position for many years and has never left the capital.
Shen Yao's grandparents have passed away, and her sons and daughters have separated from their families or married off. Currently, only Shen Chunbai's family lives in the Shen family mansion.
Shen Chunbai’s wife was also the daughter of a military general. Her surname was Yuan. She had some brains but not much, and had two sons and one daughter.
Among them are the eldest son Shen Changyu, the second son Shen Changhe, and the youngest daughter Shen Rong.
There were many concubines and maids in the remaining mansions, but only three or two of them gave birth to children.
Shen Yao is one of them, ranking below Shen Rong, born to Madam Shen. She also has a half sister Shen Ling and a half brother Shen Changsheng.
Because Shen Yao and Shen Rong were only half a year older than each other, Shen Yao was not very liked by Madam Shen even though her mother died young due to complications during childbirth, and she had always been an unknown figure in the Shen family.
The most daring thing this person has ever done is to secretly fall in love with his cousin from the Yuan family who is in love with his eldest sister Shen Rong.
Especially this year, rumors of a talent show were heard and the Shen family wanted to send Shen Rong to the palace to participate in the selection. The original owner felt that she had some hope, so she wanted to catch herself from the cold and run to ask her biological father and stepmother for help in betrothing her out.
Shen Yao felt a little cold when she first came here. It was because this girl was so simple-minded that she underestimated the temperature in winter and overestimated her body's ability to withstand it. She died and was taken advantage of by Shen Yao.
As for the problem of frostbite, Shen Yao easily solved it with two pills, without any sequelae or impact.
"Xiaofu, is father in the study in the front yard?" Shen Yao asked while looking at the bronze mirror.
"My lady, the master is in the study, and the eldest, second and third young masters are all here."
Xiaofu lowered her head slightly. She was Shen Yao's personal maid, and had recently been arranged by Shen Yao to keep a close eye on the situation in the front yard.
Therefore, as long as Shen Yao opens her mouth, Xiaofu can tell her everything.
With a hum, Shen Yao nodded in satisfaction, "Take me to the study."
I have to hurry up and talk to my father. Not everyone can enter the palace. My elder sister Shen Rong's temper and appearance are not suitable, so she has to come.
Shen Yao said this not to deliberately belittle Shen Rong, because Shen Rong herself did not like to enter the palace, and was usually good at wielding swords and guns. Let this person enter the palace to sing and dance to win favor? That was not the right style.
When Shen Yao arrived at the study in the front yard, she could still hear several quarrels coming from there.
"Butler, please let me know. I'm here to see my father for something."
Shen Yao nodded to the old steward of the Shen family with a smile, causing the old steward, who was extremely tactful and appropriate, to quickly move away.
"Miss Fourth is too polite. I will report this to Master right away."
He didn't say anything against it, nor did he mention the rules between legitimate and illegitimate children that some people in the mansion loved to talk about.
It is said that old people become more cunning. Although the Shen family does not have many rules, there are still a bunch of messy taboos inside. The fact that this old butler has been able to live in peace and stability in the mansion for so many years shows that he is very capable.
Shen Yao, who was standing outside the door, didn't know that the old butler's report had eased the conflict in the study to a certain extent. The four of them didn't understand the significance of Shen Yao coming here, and Shen Changhe even said rudely that she didn't know how to choose the time.
"Father, my daughter doesn't want to enter the palace anyway. The Shen family's move goes against my daughter's idea."
Shen Rong stiffened her neck and looked unwilling, which made Shen Chunbai so angry that he slammed the table, "Humph! Whether you are willing or not, this matter has been decided, and you have no room to refuse!"
Shen Rong was anxious, "Dad"
"Okay!" Shen Chunbai interrupted Shen Rong and waved his hand to let the old housekeeper bring Shen Yao in.
Shen Rong was still unconvinced by this, so Shen Changhe pulled her back and reminded her in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders."
Obviously, they didn't regard Shen Yao as a relative. Shen Rong didn't refute it. Instead, Shen Changyu glared at them and warned Shen Changhe to be careful with his words, "Fourth sister is my younger sister just like third sister. If you don't like it, go back."
Shen Changhe: ...What kind of sister is the fourth child? She is not my mother's biological child.
He turned up his nose and ignored Shen Changyu. When Shen Yao came in to greet him, Shen Changhe still looked indifferent, as if Shen Yao owed him money.
"Ha! He is ambitious. I hope he will always be so ambitious in the future!"
Shen Yao complained in her heart about Shen Changhe's childishness, but when she turned to face Shen Chunbai, she had a smile on her face, and it was impossible to tell what she was really thinking.
Shen Chunbai is currently having a headache because of Shen Rong's matter, and doesn't want to beat around the bush with Shen Yao, so he directly asks Shen Yao the purpose of her coming.
Shen Yao explained that she had something to say and wondered if her three brothers and sisters could avoid it.
Shen Changyu immediately wanted to take his brother and sister-in-law Shen Changhe and Shen Rong away, but Shen Changhe and Shen Rong were unwilling to leave. The worst was Shen Changhe, who looked down on and was curious at the same time. Shen Yao really wanted to slap him twice.
"It's nothing. Since Second Brother and Third Sister want to listen, just keep it."
Before Shen Changhe could take advantage of the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark, Shen Yao changed the subject and mentioned her own marriage. "Since I caught a glimpse of you at the Lantern Festival last year, I have admired Your Majesty for a long time. Today, I boldly beg you to agree to let me enter the palace for selection."
With just a few words, he directly controlled the four people present, including Shen Changhe who always liked to find fault.
In the end, it was Shen Rong who reacted first. She hurriedly pulled Shen Chunbai to agree, "Since fourth sister has such an idea, father will fulfill it." In this way, she would not have to participate in the talent show and could continue to love her cousin.
Shen Changyu first glanced at Shen Yao who was kneeling on the ground, then at Shen Rong who was jumping and dancing, and walked up to Shen Yao and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if what Fourth Sister said is from the heart?"
Entering the palace is not a good thing. Countless young concubines die in the palace every year.
The Shen family sent Shen Yao to participate in the election because the emperor's will could not be violated. All female relatives of officials of the fifth rank and above who were of appropriate age must participate in the election, but there was no such requirement for those born out of wedlock.
Shen Yao... Shen Changyu lowered his eyes. He didn't pay much attention to this illegitimate sister. He only knew that she was a quiet and gentle person and it was impossible for her to do such a bold thing. Could it be that this was a new trick that his mother and sister came up with behind his back?
