"That's right. The more you think about it, the less likely it is that it will come. If you don't think about it, it may come immediately."

Anyway, the system said that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Jin and Yu Yansi's health, so they would have children sooner or later.

Shen Yao is not in a hurry, and Yu Yansi is still young. It will be better for the child if he can calm down for a few years.

Yu Yansi looked at her mother-in-law with gratitude. No matter what, she had always done a good job in having children.

Yu Yansi had previously worried that her mother-in-law would send a woman to Xiao Jin to induce childbirth out of dissatisfaction.

She didn't expect her own mother-in-law to never mention it. Compared with her two adopted sisters-in-law who were also princesses, everyone who saw Yu Yansi's life would envy her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting casually, and Shen Yao took this opportunity to hide the news that should be told to the other party.

Yu Yansi was intelligent, so it was not difficult for her to extract, summarize and write down the content of the speech.

Shen Yao couldn't help but smile more deeply. It was good to have a smart daughter-in-law. It saved her a lot of effort.

And it's not just Yu Yansi. Shen Yao's other daughter-in-law, She, is also very smart. This may be the law that smart people attract smart people.

"Princess, go slowly"

"Auntie, please stay"

Yu Yansi said goodbye to Qiuyue with a smile, then turned and left the Fengyi Palace.

After seeing the guests off, Qiuyue returned to her room and did not forget to praise Yu Yansi.

Just when they were talking, Qiuyue couldn't help coughing and Yu Yansi heard that she had a throat problem. He casually mentioned a few medicinal foods with good therapeutic effects and asked Qiuyue to try them when she had time.

With such thoughts and abilities, Qiuyue sighed, "Prince Rong can now have some free time."

Shen Yao nodded in agreement, "Jin'er is now focusing more on the previous dynasty, which shows that she trusts the Yu family very much."

Human energy is limited, and it is impossible to focus on both the front and back yard at the same time.

Xiao Jin took care of the present and left the future to Yu Yansi. This had both advantages and disadvantages.

Husband and wife must understand each other to get along better, but as their contact deepens, friction will increase.

If one thing goes wrong, the situation may collapse.

However, these are not Shen Yao's business for the time being. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the younger generation's affairs should be left to them to handle.

……

The world is long and the years are bright.

When I first heard it, I didn’t know what it meant. But when I heard it again, I already knew the meaning of the song.

"Empress, please save me. I know I was wrong. Empress, Empress..."

A beautiful woman in palace dress knelt down in the main hall of Fengyi Palace and cried for Shen Yao's help.

Shen Yao sat in the chair at the top and could only sigh helplessly.

"Empress Rou, plotting to murder an offspring is a serious crime, not to mention that Concubine Xian's body has been damaged as a result, and there is no chance that she will ever get pregnant again.

Go back, the emperor has already given the order, and I have no right to interfere."

As soon as Shen Yao finished speaking, Concubine Rou, who was kneeling on the ground and begging, raised her stunning face that looked like spring flowers and autumn moon.

Even though she was crying at this moment, it still did not affect Concubine Rou's absolute beauty.

She is indeed a beauty that Xiao Yanchen kept as his concubine just for delivering clothes once.

Time has left no trace on Concubine Rou's face, she is too biased.

"My Queen, I know I was wrong, and I will never have any other thoughts again.

This time, I am innocent. It was Concubine Xian who had ill intentions and deliberately seduced me."

At the end of her words, Concubine Rou gritted her teeth and her expression twisted.

Shen Yao was helpless, thinking that no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was useless to pursue it now.

Concubine Xian paid the price of being unable to conceive, and Concubine Rou paid the price of being imprisoned for life. Is there any need for the two of them to argue about who is right and wrong?

Rubbing her swollen brows, Shen Yao brushed away the strands of hair that fell on her side, "Go back, don't make it difficult for me, or for the Emperor.

Concubine Rou, you should know that there have been many unfair things in the imperial harem over the years, and I have always handled them with care.

Don't let yourself end up without the dignity of a concubine and follow the footsteps of others who died young."

There was a strong sense of threat in Shen Yao's words, especially in her eyes. Her calm eyes were filled with indescribable meaning.

Concubine Rou: ...

A hint of fear flashed across her slightly stiff face. Concubine Rou pursed her lips, tears hanging between her eyelashes, about to fall.

It looks like a pitiful and lovely picture, but in fact everyone present knows that it is all an illusion.

Concubine Rou was still unwilling to give in, and before she got up and left, she tried to persuade Shen Yao.

Shen Yao sneered, "Life in the palace, I thought Concubine Rou had understood it after so many years."

How can you still be so naive? If you lose, you lose. There is no other way out.

Concubine Rou was desperate, "I love the emperor so much, why don't you believe me?"

Shen Yao smiled faintly, "There are so many concubines in the harem who love the emperor, why should you believe it?"

Concubine Rou suddenly smiled sadly, "If the Empress is involved in this matter, the Emperor will definitely believe it."

After all, it is because she is not valued, so why does the emperor treat the queen so specially?

When she was favored by the emperor before, Concubine Rou was confident that she was the most special one.

Whether it takes three years to become a concubine or five years to become a noble concubine, it is better than the queen sitting high up in the back seat.

What is a queen? She is just a past-time concubine who got promoted to the throne by taking advantage of the situation because she had a few children.

What happened next? Everything that happened next slapped her in the face.

Confident in her favor, she was imprisoned for life, while the outdated queen still stood high above, looking down on everyone else.

How ironic? How true.

Without waiting for Shen Yao's answer, Concubine Rou did not want to hear the truth that would embarrass her.

He turned around and walked slowly out of the hall, and was escorted back to the palace by the palace servants waiting on the side.

Shen Yao stood at the entrance of the hall and watched Concubine Rou leave calmly.

After a long while, until she could no longer see anyone, Shen Yao slowly said in her heart the words that she had not answered Concubine Rou.

'I would never put myself in trouble like that.

Rather than being treated specially by the Emperor, I always trust myself.'

This is the difference between her and the other concubines in the harem. Concubine Rou has been looking forward to the emperor from beginning to end, but Shen Yao likes to put herself first.

"My lady, we should go back."

Qiuyue reminded her master quietly, and then stayed by his side in silence.

"Qiuyue, I have been the queen for fifteen years."

Fifteen years, time flies.

Shen Yao still remembers that ten years ago, she was still chatting with Qiuyue about Concubine Rou's favor and Xiao Jin's marriage; five years later, she watched Concubine Rou fall into the mortal world and Xiao Jin had a pair of children.

Even the youngest, Xiao Wei, is already ten years old. Shen Yao has really stayed in the palace for too long.

"My lady, no matter how long it takes, this servant will always be with you."

"There are people coming and going in the harem, but you are the only one who can stay by my side."

What men, what offspring, their relationship with Shen Yao is close but they cannot be inseparable.

Shen Yao looked up at the clear blue sky, smiled and called Qiuyue to come to her side, "It's been a long time since we talked like this today.

Qiuyue, you regret not leaving the palace to marry, not seeing your family and relatives. "

Ever since she accompanied Shen Yao into the palace, Qiuyue's contact with the Shen family has gradually faded.

It cannot be denied that Qiuyue had passed on messages for the Shen family in the beginning, but as time went on, Qiuyue put all her attention on Shen Yao.

Now the two of them are more like family than master and servant.

Qiuyue's eyes were filled with tears. She shook her head and said affirmatively, "I have no regrets."

Accompanying her master into the palace was the thing she regretted least of all the things she had done.

The way people get along with each other is really mysterious. Some people become enemies as time goes by, some people start to drift apart as time goes by, and some people become close relatives as time goes by.

Shen Yao laughed particularly happily. After she finished laughing, she turned to Qiuyue and said seriously, "In the days ahead, we must walk well."

Life in the palace was tough, but with people accompanying her, Shen Yao was not afraid of anything.

The matter between Concubine Rou and Concubine Xian ended with each of them being given fifty lashes of the cane.

The harem suddenly lost two big mountains, which made the concubines very happy. New favorite concubines emerged like mushrooms after rain.

Shen Yao, as always, just watched from the sidelines and did her own job.

The advantage of doing this is that you won't be involved in any trouble.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. Xiao Yanchen from Taiji Hall is unwilling.

He even went so far as to personally come over and express his dissatisfaction to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao: ...So, she needs to handle the affairs of the harem like a housekeeper, and she needs to keep trying to please others like before? Times have changed.

"Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Shen Yao felt that Xiao Yanchen many years ago would never have imagined that one day he would be confronting his beloved Yao'er and would not give in.

Unfortunately, this incident happened right before our eyes, and we were involved in the whole process.

"Queen, is this your attitude towards me?"

Xiao Yanchen has grown a beard to make himself look more majestic.

Xiao Yanchen hasn't spoken to Shen Yao for a while.

The older you get, the more you crave new things.

Xiao Yanchen has some common problems among middle-aged and elderly men, he likes young concubines.

This is not a big deal. In other words, Shen Yao has never been attracted to Xiao Yanchen. She is very open-minded and does not feel bad about it.

So when facing Xiao Yanchen's questioning, Shen Yao remained calm and composed.

"The Emperor came over and blamed me without knowing the truth.

I believe that I have been in the Imperial Palace for many years and have done my best without any slackness.

Your Majesty, do you think that what I have done is not good enough? "

This rhetorical question pinned Xiao Yanchen to the spot. Xiao Yanchen's expression was first shocked and then angry, with a hint of anger and humiliation.

Shen Yao's words were quite irritating, and those who didn't know would think that the couple had a grudge against each other.

You have to know that in order to make Shen Yao the queen, Xiao Yanchen designed a huge trap and even sent his own son away.

Now everything is long gone, the two of them are not in harmony with each other, and there is no sign of affection at all.

It's really not that time has been long. Shen Yao doesn't want to pretend. It's just that time has forced people to change. It's been a dream for a thousand years.

Xiao Yanchen is cold, suspicious and likes to overthink. Shen Yao needs to invest a lot of energy to maintain her relationship with him. Who would persist in this way in the long run?

Furthermore, as several children between the two grew up, the conflicts between the two became more and more serious, and it was normal for them to drift apart.

It was not the first time that Xiao Yanchen came to hold Shen Yao accountable today, so there was no need for either of them to pretend anymore.

Xiao Yanchen opened his mouth and thought to himself that it wasn't that it wasn't good enough, it just could be better.

Shen Yao certainly understood what Xiao Yanchen wanted to express, but on what basis?

Even if Shen Yao has not made any contributions over the years, she has worked hard. Could it be that she is really a person who repays evil with kindness, and does not fight back when beaten or retaliate when scolded?

Not to mention, she herself wouldn't believe it if she told others about it.

Seeing that things were gradually going in the direction of collapse, Xiao Yanchen had to interrupt the topic and forcefully let Shen Yao manage the concubines in the harem.

The reason is that Shen Yao is the queen, and this is her responsibility as the mistress of the imperial palace.

Shen Yao: ...Fuck your responsibility

Rolling her eyes in her heart, Shen Yao politely saw Xiao Yanchen off, even though Xiao Yanchen didn't really want to leave.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor will be angry if you say that."

If she made too much noise, it would be bad for her master. Qiuyue remembered all the losses she had suffered in the past, and now she wanted to blame it all on the emperor.

"If you are angry, you are angry. If our interests were not so intertwined, we would have been inseparable. I am afraid that the incident of deposing the queen will happen again."

Xiao Yanchen must have had this thought more than once, but unfortunately, Shen Yao is not Wei Jingyi, and Xiao Yanchen does not have so many sons for him to harm.

"Send a letter outside the palace and tell Prince Rong to come to the palace when he has time. There are some things that need to be dealt with in advance."

We can't delay any longer. The longer we delay, the greater the variables will be. I wonder if Xiao Yanchen has noticed that his temperament is now becoming more and more like that of the late emperor.

When the late emperor was making trouble in Yichang Garden and looking for opponents for Xiao Yanchen, Xiao Yanchen was in the same state as he is now.

After many twists and turns, Xiao Yanchen has become the kind of person he hates the most. It's really hard to say what to say.

……

Outside the palace, Xiao Jin received the news and naturally entered the palace as quickly as possible.

When the mother and son met, there was no reminiscing or caring about the past, but they got down to business.

Shen Yao quickly told Xiao Yanchen about the conflict between herself and him, and reminded Xiao Jin, "If we delay this any longer, I'm afraid you and I will end up like the abandoned queen and her son."

Seeing his mother so serious, Xiao Jin asked, "Does father really want to do this?"

Shen Yao nodded, "Your father's health has been a little unclear in the past two years."

Although Shen Yao does not have many manpower in the Imperial Medical Bureau, Shen Yao has a system plug-in.

If you want to know Xiao Yanchen's physical condition, the system can scan directly, which is easy, fast and accurate.

"Over the years, the number of heirs in the harem has not increased. Your father suspects that it is my fault."

When he was young, Xiao Yanchen might not think too much about it, but when he got older, Xiao Yanchen would always associate the grown-up children with Shen Yao.

Xiao Yanchen ignored the imperial physician's diagnosis and his own shortcomings.

Xiao Yanchen thought that it was Shen Yao who did something, and the purpose was self-evident.

Xiao Jin thought it was ridiculous. "My father would think this way, it must be because of the young concubines in the harem."

None of them can give birth, but the blame is put on the mother who is the most fertile.

Xiao Jin had long known that the lack of offspring was a problem of the Xiao family itself.

Did the emperor, who was so wise and powerful when he was young, eventually become old and confused?
