Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 44 Cannon Fodder Concubine (44)
Sun Churuo's expression and appearance have changed greatly compared to a few days ago.
Especially that face, with delicate and heavy makeup and various accessories, it simply brings out her aura to the fullest.
Huh!
If they hadn't met often, Shen Yao really wouldn't have recognized that the arrogant person in front of her would be Sun Churuo, the concubine who was once privately known as the most spoiled concubine, who dared not speak out when something happened and could only hide in the palace and cry secretly.
Time and power can really change a person's mental outlook.
Shen Yao sighed, thinking that the women in the harem were undergoing visible changes all the time.
Even she herself, wasn't she different from when she first entered the palace?
It's just that Shen Yao's changes are relatively small, and with the existence of the system, she is able to keep a stable mentality on weekdays.
Unlike others, who were tossed around by the controversy over the enthronement of the queen, she had no peace of mind.
After Shen Yao sat down, she looked coldly at the people in the hall who were constantly flattering Sun Churuo.
Sun Churuo stood in the center of the crowd, smiling and greeting everyone no matter what they said.
Maybe he was really proud, Sun Churuo's attitude towards Shen Yao was obviously not respectful.
Although Changle Palace’s home advantage can be used as an excuse, those who understand will understand.
This is why Sun Churuo felt confident enough to challenge Shen Yao, who was one level higher than him.
As for who gave Sun Churuo the confidence? The emperor, the third prince, the situation of the previous dynasty and the Sun family, all these were reasons.
'How enviable! It turns out that power is the best beauty medicine for women.
Before, who would have believed that Sun Churuo could fight her way out among so many concubines?
Shen Yao appeared to be keeping her composure on the surface, but secretly she was complaining about the system in her mind.
There was no other way. There were too many people here. She came here as a guest, and she couldn't be so tactless as to take over the show.
Helplessly, Shen Yao could only sit there and gossip with the system.
Fortunately, the system was particularly considerate at this time, or maybe it was because the system was too full from the previous melons, and the system couldn’t help but jump out and want to find someone to share.
A discussion without an audience is incomplete. The system and Shen Yao work closely together, with each person in charge, and they chat with each other back and forth, continuing the conversation that was about to collapse.
'It's a matter of time and fate. This Sun Churuo is very lucky. The emperor has been looking for a shield, and the Sun family just happened to jump into the trap.
But things change over time, and the Sun family will have a hard time in the future.'
Because the system has been paying close attention to the imperial court these days, it has learned a lot of literary sentences.
These words sound quite funny coming from a creature that speaks only in mechanical tones.
Shen Yao couldn't help but sneer. When she lowered her eyes and looked down, she didn't forget to pick up the handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth that were curled up. "What is a shield? The emperor doesn't like to force sales. Sun Churuo can't control himself and wants to be greedy. Who can he blame?"
Like herself, Xiao Yanchen also tried to win her over with words.
Unfortunately, Shen Yao had seen through Xiao Yanchen's actions and was not fooled at all.
At this time Sun Churuo suddenly jumped out and said that he could do it, which indirectly saved Shen Yao from the vortex.
Shen Yao didn't want to confront Xiao Yanchen head-on for the time being. The heart of an emperor was so short-lived and ruthless.
If the system hadn't kept emphasizing that the emperor still cared about her, Shen Yao would have suspected that Xiao Yanchen had begun to get bored with the old and love the new.
The changes are so fast, like a tornado.
The system felt that with the conditions offered by Xiao Yanchen, it would be difficult for anyone except its own host to refuse the temptation.
'People are different. If you make a choice, you have to stick to it.
On the previous side, some court officials have already written to the emperor to test his plans for next year's beauty selection.
Believe it or not, once the emperor agrees, those dormant noble families will do everything they can to send their daughters to the palace.'
Shen Yao was very familiar with this kind of thing, because it was very similar to the scene when she entered the palace and the emperor chose princesses for several princes' sons.
But now the situation has reversed, and the focus has shifted from those royal palaces to the imperial palace.
It was because the several princes' descendants who had caused trouble in recent years were all ruthlessly dealt with by the emperor.
At the very least, you will live your entire life as an idle noble in the palace, and at worst, you won’t even be able to survive.
Although Xiao Yanchen would give face to these nephews, other court officials who smelled blood would not stop.
While you are sick, I will kill you!
Generally, as long as the emperor behaves slightly abnormally in the court, there will be courtiers who will take advantage of the situation and attack them fiercely.
It was also because the situation of the emperor in Yichang Garden was not very good and he could not take care of the affairs of the court.
When the emperor stepped back like this, the other timid ones became scared.
The system's view on this is the same as Shen Yao's. "If the emperor selects a talent show next year, host, your situation will become very unclear."
After all, Shen Yao’s external image is that of the imperial concubine who is favored most in the harem.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Shen Yao was able to give birth to two children in a row and raise five royal heirs during the years she entered the palace.
It is extremely difficult for other people to get pregnant, and many even lose their lives. Why is Shen Yao so special?
When those noble ladies who are good at imagining things and always like to do things in all kinds of roundabout ways successfully enter the palace, Shen Yao will be the first to bear the brunt and will be obviously targeted and impacted.
For this reason, the system is still somewhat worried about the host. After all, two fists are no match for four hands. If they are cheated, then all their years of hard work would be in vain.
Shen Yao snorted softly, and brought the system's thoughts back to normal.
"You think too much. My situation has always been decided by the emperor."
In other words, as long as the emperor is not tired of Shen Yao's existence, Shen Yao will be absolutely safe in the palace.
Don't forget that there are many spies arranged by the emperor in Weiyang Palace now.
Some are in the open, some are in secret. Shen Yao even feels that Weiyang Palace is more like Xiao Yanchen's second nest than her own.
Oh, Xiao Yanchen’s first lair is Taiji Hall.
"System, you still don't understand men well enough." Even though the system knows a lot of things and can even calculate probabilities using more advanced methods than ordinary arithmetic, the system is not a human after all. It does not have human emotions and desires, and cannot understand some of the complex thoughts of humans.
There is a saying that goes, where there are people, there is the world.
The world of martial arts is not just about fighting and killing, it is more about the human relationships and worldly wisdom.
After Shen Yao finished her meaningful conversation with the system, Sun Churuo, who was standing in the crowd, looked back at Shen Yao, who was standing outside the crowd, as if he had sensed something.
The two people, one standing and the other sitting, one with a calm expression and the other with a proud look, are like two paintings with different styles, with a clear contrast.
Shen Yao smiled first, then nodded to Sun Churuo.
Upon seeing this, Sun Churuo withdrew his gaze thoughtfully and continued to smile with the others.
No one understood what they were thinking when they looked at each other just now.
When you are in a situation, many of your actions have hidden meanings.
Shen Yao stayed in Changle Palace for a while, but then felt bored (it would be bad to keep watching other concubines trying to curry favor with Sun Churuo), so she found an excuse to leave.
call
Wearing the cloak that had just been put on, Shen Yao rubbed her palms and looked up at the buildings in the distance, "Instead of taking the sedan chair, let's go for a walk in the garden."
Qiuyue nodded in agreement and gestured from a distance for the young eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to fall behind them.
creaking——
Stepping on the soft snow, a faint trace of footprints was left on the ground.
Shen Yao didn't take care of her shoes and socks, which might get wet from the snow.
She strode forward until she stood at the garden gate and looked inside.
The flowers that were in full bloom earlier have now withered, and the common green pines and cypresses in the garden are still there, but they are wrapped in a layer of white, looking unusually thin and gaunt.
Qiuyue stood less than three meters away from Shen Yao, holding the heater which was only left with residual heat in her hands, waiting for her master to summon her at any time.
But Shen Yao didn't say anything. She came to the garden on a whim just to vent her anger.
After standing there for about two quarters of an hour, Shen Yao spoke, turned around and looked at Qiuyue, "Let the servants bring the sedan chair over, and we will return to the palace."
"Yes"
When Qiuyue heard the noise, she quickly waved for someone to come over.
Shen Yao smiled and said, "When we get back to the palace, I'll have someone send them some ginger soup and some silver as a reward.
Even in the coldest days of winter, it’s not easy.”
Qiuyue smiled and nodded when she heard this, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, I understand."
Holding Shen Yao's hand, she walked towards the sedan chair. As she walked, Shen Yao thought that Qiuyue's kind words might not be referring to her.
After traveling through several mission worlds, Shen Yao could feel the emptiness and nothingness coming from the deepest part of his heart.
Turning my head, I looked at the red wall and the buildings inside the wall not far from the garden.
Even though she was far away, Shen Yao could still hear the laughter coming from Changle Palace.
The combination of quietness and noise forms a unique symphony.
I guess this is the harem.
He bent down and sat on the sedan chair. The curtain that had been lifted was lowered again, as if isolating himself from the outside world.
Shen Yao closed her eyes and ignored the voice of the system calling her in her mind. After all, she didn't want to talk to anyone right now.
……
Sun Churuo became Concubine Sun before the New Year. She thought that after the New Year she could at least move up a level and get the position of Imperial Concubine. If things went well, she could even dream of becoming Empress.
But the desperate reality told Sun Churuo that what she thought was just what she thought.
On the first day of the new year, Sun Churuo received an extremely shocking piece of news. The Third Prince Xiao Jin, whom she regarded as her lifeblood and the essential necessity for her to ascend to the throne, suddenly fell ill and collapsed in bed.
When the news came, Sun Churuo was chatting and laughing with Shen Yao as they prepared to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.
There are two people, one is a noble concubine and the other is a concubine. Logically speaking, their relative positions should be clear.
But Sun Churuo was so spoiled by Xiao Yanchen that she felt she could fight for it.
As a result, before one side could even come to a conclusion, something happened on the other side.
Shen Yao watched Sun Churuo run away in a panic, then turned around and calmly straightened her clothes, continuing to wait for an auspicious day for the sacrifice.
After the worship was completed, everyone else dispersed and returned to the palace.
Shen Yao held Qiuyue's hand and asked why Sun Churuo had not returned yet.
Qiuyue looked excited and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is not well, Concubine Sun is taking care of him personally."
Shen Yao heard this and remained calm, "Where is the emperor?"
Qiuyue glanced at the Taihe Palace not far away and said, "The emperor is still offering sacrifices to his ancestors."
What this means is that he has neither the time nor the energy to care about the Third Prince's affairs.
"How are Jin'er and the others?"
Except for Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhi who are still young, Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu are already six years old, so they naturally have to follow Xiao Yanchen to worship their ancestors.
Xiao Yue had a cough a few days ago, so Shen Yao didn't bring her out this time.
"The Fourth and Fifth Princes are fine. Our people didn't say anything."
"Well, let's go back to the palace."
Shen Yao returned to the palace very calmly.
Not long after they returned, Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu, who were taken by Xiao Yanchen to participate in the ancestor worship, were sent back by Wei Zhu.
Qiuyue saw that it was Wei Zhu who came, so she quickly went up to ask about the latest situation of the third prince.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhu slapped her thigh with a cry, then pulled Qiuyue to a corner.
Qiuyue was confused, "Eunuch Wei, what's wrong with you?"
Could it be that there is some other hidden secret that Wei Zhu is not in a position to reveal?
Wei Zhu sighed, with an anxious expression on her face, "Miss Qiuyue, the Third Prince's matter is a bit complicated. It is said that it involves some forces inside and outside the palace.
When you are free, tell the Imperial Concubine and ask her to be careful and not get implicated.
The third prince may not live long, and the emperor is very angry. He is asking the servants in the violence room to investigate with all their strength. He even does not rule out the possibility of using some violent organs in the court to conduct a joint investigation.
It was the first time in all these years that Wei Zhu saw the emperor express his anger.
You must know that in Wei Zhu's eyes, the third prince is not as important as the second prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, but unfortunately, the emperor was so angry.
Huh!
There must be some reason behind this that they are not aware of.
There wasn't much Wei Zhu could do now, but based on his relationship with Weiyang Palace, he still spoke up to give a reminder.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, at least he has done it with a clear conscience.
Qiuyue: ...Hey, this matter is really confusing.
Turning around, she told Shen Yao, who had already removed her makeup and washed up, what Wei Zhu had said. While helping her master tidy up her clothes, Qiuyue didn't understand why Wei Zhu said that.
Why does it feel a little serious, as if my family will be involved if I'm not careful.
They stayed in the Weiyang Palace obediently but did nothing.
Scratching his head, Qiuyue was still thinking, but Shen Yao beside him had already realized that the situation was not good.
"Qiuyue, have our people been messing around outside during this period?"
Like gathering information and poaching people with money.
Qiuyue shook her head subconsciously and said, "Your Majesty, since you didn't tell me, I will let them do their job first," and didn't tell them anything else.
Shen Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Don't contact them yet. What Eunuch Wei said might mean that things are going to change in the harem."
As for what kind of weather had changed, Shen Yao could smell the hint of a storm coming, but she couldn't tell what was going on.
Forget it, let's wait and see what happens. Now that something has happened to the Third Prince, they will definitely use this as a breakthrough point for investigation. No matter who is implicated by then, it won't be me.
During the days she stayed in the Weiyang Palace, she was as pure and innocent as a white lotus just emerging from the water.
