Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 52 Cannon Fodder Concubine (52)
As the queen of a country, most of Shen Yao's daily life revolves around palace affairs and socializing with female relatives.
This is not something Shen Yao can just refuse; this is her job.
It would be a little novel at the beginning. After all, as one of the biggest bosses in the harem (the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace is dead, the Empress Dowager of the Western Palace is a vegetarian and chants Buddhist scriptures, and the Emperor Retired is still living in Yichang Garden), when facing Shen Yao, everyone has to pretend to be respectful and honest on the surface, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, and let Shen Yao pick and choose.
After a long time, Shen Yao began to hate such useless socializing.
She had to think twice before speaking, and even had to consider the situation of the previous dynasty occasionally. She was the queen, but she felt unexpectedly aggrieved.
"Why is Your Majesty laughing? Is there something wrong with what I said?
It was already extremely boring, and the Princess of Prince Yi wanted to tear me apart, yet she could still talk and laugh with me. I was really worried and scared in my heart. "
Inside the hall, the lights were dim. Xiao Yanchen and Shen Yao sat together in their pajamas, whispering about the strange things that had happened to them in the past two days.
Even though Shen Yao became the queen, she still retained her own purity and straightforwardness in front of Xiao Yanchen.
No matter what, Xiao Yanchen knew everything about Fengyi Palace.
Today, it was Xiao Yanchen's seventh brother, the princess who was just conferred the title of Prince Heng two years ago, who ran into the palace angrily to settle accounts with the couple because of the several concubines and beautiful maids that Xiao Yanchen had rewarded them with.
Shen Yao is a sharp-tongued person and will never take the blame that she shouldn't.
It was obviously Prince Heng himself who was lustful and had set his eyes on her early on.
Instead of looking for trouble with her husband, the wife went to the palace to look for trouble with her sister-in-law.
Ah!
Did he think that Shen Yao was easy to bully? He immediately gave her a lot of face and didn't forget to give her some eye drops in front of Xiao Yanchen.
Humph! Shen Yao is not a good-tempered person. If you dare to scold her, you must be prepared to be retaliated against.
Shen Yao raised the corner of her mouth as if she had succeeded in her mission. After Xiao Yanchen laughed heartily, she started to act even more coquettishly and described herself as particularly pitiful.
If Xiao Yanchen had not already learned the whole story from Wei Zhu, he might have given Prince Heng two more beautiful maids.
It's really not that Xiao Yanchen wanted to disgust people on purpose. After all, the retired emperor left him with only a few half-brothers, and a number of them died over the years.
Prince Heng was the oldest and least capable person left.
It was also chosen by Xiao Yanchen himself as a tool to enhance his reputation.
Coincidentally, Prince Heng was very cooperative and did whatever Xiao Yanchen asked him to do.
This is also the main reason why Prince Heng was able to become a prince from a county prince. He is really sensible and reasonable. It is impossible for Xiao Yanchen not to give the other party some benefits.
As for the matter of Prince Heng's wife entering the palace this time, it is actually Prince Heng's own problem.
Prince Heng was greedy and lustful by nature, but his greed for money had been restrained a lot after Xiao Yanchen killed many court officials. Only his lust remained, which he could not change.
It's not that Xiao Yanchen didn't give the other party some advice, but when Prince Heng saw a beauty, it was like a wild boar seeing food, and he couldn't wait to get at her.
Look, just as Xiao Yanchen had gained a reputation as a friendly brother, Prince Heng couldn't help but ask for several beautiful ladies that he had set his eyes on for a long time.
The wife of Prince Heng, unable to control her own prince, was very upset and thought that the Queen Shen Yao was easy to bully, so she went to the palace to make a scene.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yao acted very aggressively and frightened the Princess of Heng.
Now this couple has simply become the topic of conversation between Xiao Yanchen and Shen Yao.
"Don't be afraid, I will definitely give Prince Heng some instructions when the time comes.
The Princess of Heng, whose maiden family is from a duke's mansion, is also related to the left and right prime ministers, so she thinks everyone will give in to her."
Xiao Yanchen smiled coldly, feeling deeply that some of the outdated ideas of the rich and powerful were unacceptable.
If you are still holding on to your superior attitude and are reluctant to come down, then you don't need to come down in the future.
A hint of murderous intent surged out of Xiao Yanchen's heart and then quickly disappeared.
Shen Yao had excellent perception and immediately noticed the difference in Xiao Yanchen.
Although Xiao Yanchen restrained himself quickly, Shen Yao couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
For some unknown reason, Xiao Yanchen's murderous intent grew stronger.
Shen Yao has been the queen for four years. During these four years, Xiao Yanchen has dealt with countless court officials, both big and small.
There are too many frequencies.
Could this be the result of being suppressed earlier? Once he broke free from the shackles on his body, he became lawless.
Shen Yao was a little worried, because every time this happened, she always felt that Xiao Yanchen was strange and not the same person she knew.
Emperor, it is true that serving a king is like serving a tiger, and it is not easy to serve him.
"I was just speaking casually, and besides, the Princess of Heng is also a pitiful person.
Prince Heng is not as good as the emperor. Princess Heng has been married to Prince Heng for more than ten years. Although she cannot say that she has done her best to manage the government affairs, she has a clear conscience.
For many years, Prince Heng's mansion had only a few daughters, and Prince Heng did not allow Princess Heng to have too much contact with them.
Alas, Princess Heng is feeling bad, and she came to the palace today to argue with me, but it’s mostly because she is feeling frustrated and wants to vent. "
Although Shen Yao didn't think that the suffering of Princess Heng had anything to do with her.
But at least the Princess of Heng is simple-minded and easier to deal with, so Shen Yao doesn't want to change a new sister-in-law for the time being.
Xiao Yanchen stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Shen Yao's nose, "She came to trouble you, but you were not angry, but felt sorry for her.
I think you are too kind-hearted. Princess Heng has been making such a fuss for a long time.
When the Supreme Emperor arranged a marriage for Prince Heng, he only considered family background and not character.
The reason why Prince Heng and his wife are having such an ugly quarrel is because the Emperor Retired is not good at judging people."
Having said this, Xiao Yanchen was still a little angry, and it was obvious that he was hinting at something.
Shen Yao moved her not-so-flexible little brain and realized that this person was secretly referring to the former queen (deposed queen) Wei Jingyi who had died long ago.
Shen Yao: It’s been so long, how come you still remember it?
"No matter what your Majesty said, I just feel happy when I heard it," Shen Yao blinked and leaned playfully in Xiao Yanchen's arms.
Although Shen Yao is getting older, it would be awkward for her to act like a little girl.
But who can blame Shen Yao for looking young and fresh, no less juvenile than those new concubines who are about to enter the palace. Xiao Yanchen likes this and never tires of it.
"Hey, you"
Xiao Yanchen shook his head helplessly, the doting look in his eyes seemed enough to drown someone.
Shen Yao was the queen chosen by Xiao Yanchen himself. Compared with Wei Jingyi, Xiao Yanchen was naturally satisfied.
Shen Yao's ability to speak in a relevant way successfully made Xiao Yanchen laugh.
"Your Majesty, do you think what I said is wrong?" Shen Yao took the opportunity to change the subject and not waste time on the matter of Prince Heng and his wife.
How could Xiao Yanchen think like that? He lowered his head, leaned over to kiss Shen Yao's lips, and said in a low and magnetic voice, "I think what Yao'er said is absolutely right."
Therefore, the queen still chooses the most fragrant one herself, no one else knows herself as well as she does.
……
The result of a whole night of commotion was that Shen Yao was a step slower in getting up.
However, Qiuyue, who served Shen Yao personally, knew all these things.
So every time Xiao Yanchen came to Fengyi Palace, Qiuyue would tacitly wake up her master at 25 minutes past midnight.
Anyway, the time for routine greetings in the palace had already been postponed by half an hour. Others just thought that Shen Yao was lazy and didn't like this kind of activity, and they had no idea that Shen Yao had other hidden secrets.
"Your Majesty, this morning, the servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered the list of concubines."
"Well, wash up first, and then make arrangements after breakfast."
"Yes, the servant understands."
"..."
After the conversation, Shen Yao put on new clothes and went to the main hall to have her meal as usual.
There were no routine greetings today, so Shen Yao had plenty of time and did everything slowly.
call
"Bring the list here."
He was really bored and didn't know what to do, so he just arranged the people on the list of concubines to avoid being accused of idleness when Xiao Yanchen asked about it later.
blah-
The long scroll was opened, and the beauties who were left with names at the end were all inside.
Place of origin, surname, family of origin, age, name
Shen Yao scratched the words with her beautiful nails, and said nonchalantly, "Everything is well arranged. Only the main hall of Weiyang Palace is closed to the public. There are no concerns about other places."
Shen Yao is not someone who cares about these things. If it weren't for the taboos of living in the main hall of Weiyang Palace, she could even arrange the Weiyang Palace at will.
Qiuyue took the list handed over by Shen Yao and said, "Your Majesty, the new concubine entering the palace this time has the highest rank of a concubine. I heard that she is outstanding in appearance and talent. I..."
Shen Yao raised her hand to interrupt, "Don't think too much, there is no shortage of such people in the harem.
Now that she has entered the palace, as long as she can abide by the palace rules, everything is up to her."
Block? Intervene in advance? Be on guard secretly? To Shen Yao, these were impossible situations.
Even though this person is as beautiful as a fairy, Shen Yao has nothing to worry about.
Because in this world, Shen Yao is the only one who has cheats, what can others do? Beauty is just a fleeting consumable.
Shen Yao is stable, so no matter how worried Qiuyue is, it will be of no use.
The palace was handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be renovated according to normal standards for the people who were about to move in.
Shen Yao did not do anything extra until the concubines entered the palace half a month later.
When she met the legendary Concubine Wan, who was both beautiful and talented, Shen Yao remained calm.
Indeed, this Concubine Wan was outstanding, with a good family background, good looks and talent.
As soon as she appeared, she was guarded by many concubines, but unfortunately Shen Yao was not among them.
Shen Yao was like an outsider, watching the new concubines fighting with each other and using all means to win favor, while she herself sat safely in the throne, motionless.
Shen Yao has the capital and confidence to do this, because Xiao Jin's children are outstanding enough.
In the world of palace fighting, it ultimately depends on the next generation.
You can say that Shen Yao is taking advantage of the situation, or that Shen Yao is too arrogant.
Among the few remaining children of Xiao Yanchen, Xiao Jin has always been among the best.
I can say responsibly that Shen Yao is getting closer and closer to a life where she has to rely on her children for support in her old age.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Jin is the default next generation successor to Dajing Jiangshan.
"What if something unexpected happens? Host, that Wan Jieyu climbed to the position of concubine in less than a year, which is even better than what you did in the beginning. Aren't you afraid and worried?"
The system was curious about Shen Yao's psychology. After all, the emperor's favor for Concubine Wan was overwhelming.
Just looking at the situation, there is a terrible feeling of impending storm.
Shen Yao rolled her eyes and turned over leisurely on the couch.
At this moment, Shen Yao was still calm and composed, not showing any worry or annoyance at all.
'Oh, I'm so scared.'
Shen Yao said this with a numb face, afraid that she didn't see it, but she saw it and acted perfunctorily.
system:……
The system felt a little aggrieved. It cared about the host, so why didn't the host appreciate it?
Shen Yao: Appreciate? Sorry, she only saw the words "gloating".
She was extremely disgusted with the system for giving her all these nonsense. In Shen Yao's opinion, whether Concubine Wan was favored or not would not shake her absolute position.
So Shen Yao really doesn’t care about Concubine Wan, even though Concubine Wan looks like Xiao Yanchen’s true love, but since ancient times, emperors have been passionate and true love is everywhere.
This time, a true love entered the palace, so what about the next one?
"System, if you have this time, you should sort out the world we are going to next. It is said to be a world of cultivation, so it must be more difficult than the world of palace fighting."
Shen Yao simply found a topic to pass the time with the system. She really didn't want to argue with the system about Concubine Wan.
As for Concubine Wan, there is no point in saying more. Shen Yao turned her head to glance at the scene outside the window, silently thinking about what she should do next.
Well, there are many more.
Especially since Xiao Jin and the others are getting older, they could have ignored it earlier, but now they have to prepare for a rainy day.
The strained relationship between the emperor and the retired emperor was imminent, and Shen Yao didn't want to let Xiao Jin and Xiao Yanchen, father and son, follow in the footsteps of the older generation.
Three years and three years
Flowers bloom and fall, tides rise and fall
Before she knew it, Shen Yao had been sitting on the throne of queen for ten years.
Time is really a wonderful thing. Looking back, it seems like just yesterday when I entered the palace, but today, Xiao Jin, the eldest son of Shen Yao, has married and started a family.
"My lady, you didn't sleep last night and got up very early today. Your body can't stand it. I will help you go to the inner room to rest first.
Prince Rong and his wife must go to Taiji Hall to pay respects to the Emperor before entering the palace. It is still too early for them to come to Fengyi Palace."
Qiuyue, dressed in a nanny's attire, walked to Shen Yao and stood not far away.
Ever since she came to the palace and combed her hair five years ago, Qiuyue has been appearing in public as a nanny.
Time has left traces on Qiuyue's face. Compared with Shen Yao's appearance which has remained the same for years, Qiuyue is what an ordinary person should look like.
The Rong Prince and his wife that Qiuyue mentioned were the Xiao Jin couple who just got married yesterday.
Xiao Jin's wife was not of high birth. Her grandfather had the highest official position in the family, but he was a second-rank official and had retired. Her biological father was only a fourth-rank official and had no real power, which was similar to Shen Yao's biological father.
The only difference is that Xiao Jin's wife, Yu, came from a prosperous and populous family.
It is not a prominent family, but the family is prosperous and has a strong grassroots foundation.
The decision of Xiao Jin marrying Yu was made by Shen Yao and him alone.
