Because Yu was able to skillfully manage all the major and minor affairs in the mansion before she got married, she was more sensible and aware of the current affairs.

People like this can live well no matter where they are as long as they put their heart into it.

At the same time, Yu's background and mentality are also very suitable for Xiao Jin, who is in the position of invisible heir.

Shen Yao could not guarantee that Yu would be happy if she married Xiao Jin.

But as long as Yu is not stubborn and does not pursue those illusory love stories, she will definitely live a safe and smooth life with her own abilities.

Xiao Jin is the son taught by Shen Yao personally. Not to mention his skills and abilities, his character and temper are much better than those of ordinary people in the royal family.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yu was very lucky to marry Xiao Jin.

In this feudal society, the marriages that women could choose each had their own misfortunes.

But in comparison, marrying Xiao Jin, if things go well in the future, can even lead to becoming the mother of a country, which is definitely a rare and smooth path.

"I'm not going back. It's still early, but I don't feel like resting."

Shen Yao was not being pretentious; she was simply excited. After all, she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

God knows how much Shen Yao wanted to cry when this day came.

It's not easy. I work diligently in the harem of the Dajing Dynasty, trying to please the superiors and the subordinates, and I'm never idle from morning to night.

Now that all the hard work has paid off, why sleep? Shen Yao couldn't think of this at all. She was thinking about what she should say when Xiao Jin and Yu came over.

Well, the necessary instructions still need to be given. Things are different now than in the past. Xiao Yanchen's age is there, and his physical fitness will only get worse day by day. Xiao Jin's marriage and entry into the court is an indirect announcement of the candidate for the successor.

Xiao Yanchen may not think anything of it at first, but the subsequent performance of the court officials and the changes in the situation in the court will force Xiao Yanchen to react.

Once Xiao Yanchen feels that Xiao Jin is a threat, Shen Yao will also be in trouble, as one move will affect the entire body.

As I said, when faced with only one throne, even biological father and son will kill each other.

Instead of gambling on Xiao Yanchen's heart, it is better to put all hopes on Xiao Jin.

Compared to men, Shen Yao trusts her son more.

After hearing what her master said, Qiuyue realized that no matter how much she tried to persuade him, it would not have much effect, so she simply turned around and brought over the soup that had been stewing in the small kitchen for a long time.

Since my master doesn't want to go back, I'd better just replenish his body.

This time, facing Qiuyue's concern, Shen Yao did not refuse.

After taking a few mouthfuls of the soup, Shen Yao felt a warmth all over her body.

She rubbed her cheeks with a smile and talked to Qiuyue about the talent show.

Don’t think that Xiao Yanchen won’t choose a concubine just because Xiao Jin is getting married.

The talent show is held every three years, and she has never missed a single one except the year when Shen Yao was the runner-up.

Concubine Wan, whom the system had specifically mentioned to Shen Yao earlier, has now become an ordinary concubine in the harem.

The one who is currently enjoying the emperor's favor is Concubine Rou Gui, who was once a palace maid in the Imperial Wardrobe.

She caught Xiao Yanchen's eye just after delivering clothes to Taiji Hall once.

In just two years, she climbed from the lowest rank of selected concubine (only those with low enough status could have this position) to the third-rank noble concubine.

No one can help but say it is a legend.

Ha~

“If your Majesty hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have remembered it.

Speaking of this selection, several more beautiful and talented ladies have entered the palace."

Qiuyue, who was extremely worried earlier, has now learned to tease Shen Yao.

Anyway, there are always top beauties with both beauty and talent appearing in the talent shows every year.

Qiuyue's heart, which had been beating wildly at the beginning, has slowly calmed down.

It's so similar.

It’s like a big cycle, starting three years and ending three years later.

The flowering period of these beauties is so short that Qiuyue doesn’t know what to say.

After entering the palace, you can only be a favorite concubine for three years, and then everything returns to normal.

Rubbing the back of her hands nonchalantly, Qiuyue moved closer to her master and continued to tease him.

Shen Yao didn't notice Qiuyue's abnormality. She just heard Qiuyue say the same words again. She shook her head and sighed. It was all fate.

Shen Yao had no ability to stop these people from entering the palace, all she could do was watch coldly.

Anyway, what kind of life you live in the end is the result of your own choices, so just don't regret it.

While the master and servant were talking, time passed quickly.

The young couple who had been paying their respects in Taiji Hall before now appeared in Fengyi Palace.

Shen Yao smiled as she looked at the well-matched young man and woman. She felt happy but also more emotional.

Signaling Qiuyue to bring out the gift she had prepared, Shen Yao waved her hand and asked the two to sit down nearby.

Yu looked a little nervous, but Xiao Jin seemed relaxed and at ease.

"Mother, I'm already tired. I'm thirsty and hungry, yet I can't eat." I felt so aggrieved.

If he had a choice, he would definitely come to Shen Yao's Fengyi Palace first.

After all, she is my own mother, and she is provided with plenty of tea and snacks. She is not like my father, who can only stand there without even a place to sit.

While complaining, Xiao Jin did not forget to pull the bewildered Yu over to rest with him.

"Relax, mother won't care about these things. There are many differences between Fengyi Palace and Taiji Palace."

Xiao Jin said something to Yu, then reached out and picked up a few pieces of the cakes that had been prepared and put them into his mouth.

Yu: ...

Today has broadened my horizons. I can only say that there are many differences, but the key point is that my prince did not tell me what the differences are.

Yu had a very nice maiden name, Yansi.

From the ancient poem "Bai Zhou" by an anonymous author from the pre-Qin period, "Thinking about it quietly, I cannot fly."

This implies that the girl is diligent in thinking, quick in action, and cautious in speech.

When Yu grew up, she lived up to the origin of her name. As the daughter of an official of the fourth clan, she successfully married into the Rong County Prince's Mansion as the principal wife and became the Rong County Prince's Consort.

However resourceful she was, Yu Yansi was just a little girl who had just turned sixteen.

His face is young, his methods are immature, and he even looks a little flustered and pitiful.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao glared at Xiao Jin helplessly. This kid acted like the head of Fengyi Palace, but he didn't even talk to Yu Yansi properly about the marriage that just happened yesterday.

Xiao Jin also felt wronged about this. He talked to Yu Yansi about it last night, but Yu Yansi was overly cautious and how could he believe everything he said.

And it is true that they are married, but they are just a newlywed couple who got married yesterday.

We only have a general understanding of each other and are not sure what the situation is like. There needs to be a process of contact before we can get used to each other and get along with each other.

"Yu, please sit down and don't be polite."

"Yes, Queen Mother"

Yu Yansi quickly gathered his thoughts and tried to relax as much as possible.

It was the first time I met my mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law, and it was very different from before.

Shen Yao could naturally see the restraint and nervousness in Yu Yansi.

However, Shen Yao did not say much. She just asked with a smile about the situation in the mansion and showed some concern about the two people coming here this morning.

The cakes and soups that Qiuyue had prepared earlier were brought up.

Xiao Jin enjoyed the meal and encouraged Yu Yansi to try a few pieces as well.

Shen Yao didn't urge them. She just watched them eat. After they finished, she asked Qiuyue to bring new food.

Xiao Jin and Yu Yansi: ...

Xiao Jin ate even more happily, and Yu Yansi shyly stopped. The couple had distinct personalities.

Shen Yao originally planned to take this opportunity to talk to Xiao Jin today, but looking at the situation, she could only find another opportunity.

"After eating, take a break and then go see Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue.

These two children have been clamoring to leave the palace to find you since last night, and they only gave up reluctantly when they were stopped by someone.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhi are obedient, but they are outside and have not returned to the palace yet. They said they have prepared gifts of apology for you.

Xiao Wei is a weak child, I'm afraid he is still sleeping."

Shen Yao touched the wrist with the jade bracelet and told Xiao Jin about the situation of the other children.

Xiao Wei's youngest son was the one Shen Yao gave birth to with great difficulty five years ago.

In order to give birth to him, Shen Yao suffered a lot and even had health problems.

During that time, Shen Yao was recuperating from her illness after giving birth, and the entire harem was in a state of panic. Xiao Yanchen had to ruthlessly deal with several concubines before he was able to suppress certain tendencies.

To this day, Shen Yao and Xiao Yanchen have tacitly agreed not to mention what happened during that period.

Xiao Jin nodded and said, "Mother, my son and Yu will go over and take a look."

"Mother, I am leaving now."

Shen Yao smiled and asked Qiuyue beside her to see Xiao Jin and the others out.

Qiuyue came back and lowered her head to whisper Xiao Jin's parting words to Shen Yao.

"Your Majesty, did you really say that?"

Shen Yao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "That's good, at least the emperor has hope for Xiao Jin now," and will not feel uncomfortable about Xiao Jin's participation in politics.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rong's intention is to wait and see. Although there have been some disturbances in the court in recent years, it is all within the scope of the emperor's tacit approval," so Xiao Jin also wanted to give it a try and by the way, find out his father's bottom line.

Shen Yao pondered for a moment and ended the conversation with the final sentence "Let him be careful."

She is not a personal nanny, so Shen Yao is responsible for Xiao Jin's every move.

Since Xiao Jin is not crazy, Shen Yao will not care as long as he does not go too far.

……

Xiao Jin's life after marriage has both good and bad aspects compared to when he was single.

The mansion is managed by a hostess, so the chaos that existed earlier is indeed no longer there.

Even because Yu Yansi was so capable, Xiao Jin would occasionally talk to Yu Yansi about some unimportant matters in the court.

The relationship between the couple became better and better, and Yu Yansi became more diligent when he entered the palace.

After Shen Yao confirmed that Yu Yansi's skills and abilities were indeed not exaggerated, she passed some insensitive words to Xiao Jin through her.

Frequent communication between mother and son can also enable them to grasp more information from each other.

Of course, there are some disadvantages as well, the most obvious of which is that someone in the government is targeting you.

The eldest prince Xiao Yu and the second prince Xiao Heng, who got married early in their lives, were both dissatisfied with Xiao Jin.

Although the possibility of either of them succeeding to the throne is extremely small, their positions are advantageous.

When you get married, you will have in-laws. When there are more people, all kinds of winds will blow over, and even a dead heart can come alive.

So, with Xiao Yanchen's more or less tacit approval, these two people would make things difficult for Xiao Jin every now and then.

Xiao Jin can return most of it, and he won't suffer any loss for the small part.

It's just that there are too many such things, and Xiao Jin is extremely annoyed. In addition, Xiao Yanchen's changeable and ambiguous attitude makes Xiao Jin successfully experience what Shen Yao once said: there is no father and son in the royal family.

It cannot be denied that Xiao Yanchen was undoubtedly a good father.

Even now, Xiao Yanchen did not openly blame or reprimand Xiao Jin.

But it was that kind of tacit attitude that made Xiao Jin somewhat uncomfortable.

Shen Yao: ...pretentious

"People change. You've changed too. Do you still expect your father to treat you the same way for decades?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Xiao Jin entering the palace, Shen Yao and Xiao Jin talked face to face.

Xiao Jin rubbed his head, and his originally shiny and smooth hair instantly became a little messy.

"Mother, I'm just a little surprised," Xiao Jin said with a resentful look on his face.

How can a mother be like this? Not only does she not comfort you, she also criticizes you.

Shen Yao snorted, completely ignoring Xiao Jin's pitiful expression, "What are you surprised about? If your goal remains unchanged, these are inevitable.

This is how the late emperor and your father lived. Even before the late emperor passed away, he suppressed your father for several years.

Xiao Jin, you have to know what you want."

Shen Yao spoke very bluntly and showed no mercy to Xiao Jin at all.

Xiao Jin also put away his pitiful face and his expression became serious.

"Mother, I understand."

He still has the proper sense of propriety. He wants to be in a position where his words are final and his relationship with Xiao Yanchen is no longer just that of father and son.

Throughout history, the replacement of emperors has been bloody and cruel.

Tender and affectionate, you and I are fine? Such a scene can only exist in dreams.

The idealized world ultimately fails because of the word "ideal".

"It's good that you understand. If there is anything in the future, let Yu come over. You should be more careful."

After all, the harem is where the female members of the family live. As Xiao Jin grows older, he may easily get involved in unnecessary troubles if he is not careful.

After all, men's preferences will never change, and eighteen-year-old beauties look fresh and tender.

Xiao Jin left and handed the task of communicating with Shen Yao to Yu Yansi.

Compared to when he first entered the mansion, Yu Yansi's way of handling things has become more sophisticated.

Apart from the fact that they have not had any children after two years of marriage, Yu Yansi has nothing to worry about.

However, it was difficult for the royal family of the Dajing Dynasty to have offspring. With so many concubines in Xiao Yanchen's harem, only three or four of them were able to become pregnant and give birth to children over the years, and among them was Shen Yao's stable contribution.

"There's no rush to have children," Shen Yao handed the water dissolved in the fertility pills to Yu Yansi, and helped her find a solution while speaking soothing words.

Yu Yansi and Xiao Jin haven't had any children in the past two years. It's not because either of them is in poor health, but they are simply not destined to have children.

This fertility pill is just an attempt by Shen Yao. If it works, then that’s great. If it doesn’t, there are other ways.

Now, except Xiao Wei who is too young, all the other sons of Xiao Yanchen have made some moves.

Xiao Yu got married last year, Xiao Yan got engaged this year, Xiao Yue is already married, and Xiao Zhi is still unmarried.

Shen Yao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, otherwise she wouldn't have been in the mood to talk to Yu Yansi about grandchildren.

"What the Queen Mother said is that the prince and his daughter-in-law both want to let nature take its course."

It’s not that they are not in a hurry, but since others, including Xiao Yu and Xiao Heng, are not in a hurry, they have the confidence.

Anyway, everyone is about the same, and Yu Yansi rarely feels any pressure.
