Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Something is not right. How could the Shen family, a fifth-rank official, have such a strong foundation?

Shen Yao scratched his head, and then he remembered that his step-grandmother Ji was originally a daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Even though she was born a concubine, she enjoyed the extraordinary treatment of the Duke's Mansion since she was a child. After the Duke's Mansion fell into decline, all the property in the Mansion that could not be taken away was handed over to Ji.

The Shen family also had various farms and shops, including Shen Yao's biological mother and several step-wives that Shen Yao's biological father later married, all of whom left behind generous dowries.

This is not to say that Ji was corrupt, but that before Shen Yao and others grew up, Ji was in charge of management and coordination. If he was smart, he should have accumulated a considerable fortune over the decades by making money from money.

After calculating all these, Shen Yao understood the generosity of her cheap grandmother.

Feelings are like borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, but Shen Yao still has to accept the favor.

Her step-grandmother was very generous to her, so when she develops well in the palace in the future, she will not be stingy in supporting the Shen family. They will complement each other and it will be good for you, me and everyone.

Humming a little tune, Shen Yao closed and locked the wooden box again. Then she closed her eyes and simply put the wooden box away.

As the host bound to the system, Shen Yao also has a standard space configuration.

But this space is different from the one described in the novel. Shen Yao's space is the system reward she gets every time she completes a mission palace in her life.

At the end of each world, she would normally get a small space of about one cubic meter.

The spaces can be stacked, and if she does well, she can get two or even more.

Including this mission, Shen Yao has entered a total of six worlds.

Her current space is a 3x3x1 space, because she has obtained a total of nine small spaces, and after the space is tiled, it is this big.

In the space, there are related treasures that she obtained from various completed mission worlds.

Among them, gold, silver and jewelry are the most, because the first five worlds are more modern societies.

In addition, she also stored some food in the space to prevent herself from going to a hungry world with nothing to eat or drink.

Of course, she would also store some self-defense tools, electronic products, etc. The main thing is to have a lot of things and keep them messy, so as to ensure that she will not panic no matter which interface she goes to.

Now she has filled six of the nine small spaces, and the remaining three spaces include the rosewood box she just put in.

As for the various pills that the system rewards her with every time, they will exist independently in the system space and will not overlap with the small space she gets, saving her a lot of effort.

Since the space was opened, Shen Nian simply opened his eyes and searched relying on his consciousness.

In her previous worlds, she had saved some gold and silver ingots. In addition, she also made some gold and silver jewelry similar to melon seeds and peanuts. Now she can take them out and use them to reward the palace servants around her after entering the palace.

She remembered that a concubine had done this in a TV drama she had watched.

Shen Nian was busy until she found and put away everything she wanted to take. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and began to feel like continuing to take care of her body.

Transforming the body is never an overnight process.

Shen Yao hoped that she would enter the palace in good health without any illness or disaster and give birth to a healthy prince, so she had to take the right pills.

I took one yesterday and I'm going to take one today.

Eating one pill was not enough. Shen Yao asked Chunhua and Qiuyue to prepare hot water in advance because she wanted to take a bath.

Although this request was unreasonable, the two servants thought that the young lady would enter the palace tomorrow, so they decided to do whatever the young lady asked.

So, Shen Yao took the opportunity of taking a bath alone to put some pills that can strengthen the body into the water. It can be taken internally and applied externally, and it can also improve the body's skin and make the whole person look white and translucent. Shen Yao is not stingy in this regard.

After a busy schedule, he waited for Shen Yao to finish washing and come out of the bathroom.

Chunhua and Qiuyue were both surprised. Has the young lady changed so much?

Whether it's his aura or his expression, he stands out from the crowd.

The two of them respectfully sent Shen Yao back to her room to rest. For the first time, Chunhua felt that her choice to return to the farm and get married rather than accompany the young lady into the palace was not a good thing.

But now that things have come to this, she is powerless to change them, so she might as well hold on to what she has.

The night before entering the palace, Shen Yao slept particularly comfortably.

Maybe she didn't think much about it, for when Shen Yao got up the next day, dressed, and went out, she received astonished looks from everyone, including her step-grandmother Ji.

It turns out that Yao Niang/Eldest Sister/Miss has such capital.

The happiest person was Shen's father, who had always been a fifth-rank official and had no worries.

He was looking forward to Shen Yao being able to bring benefits to the Shen family, especially his position, which had not changed for twenty years and had not seen any improvement. He was afraid that he would have to work here until retirement.

Shen Yao lowered her head and her gorgeous clothes sparkled in the sun.

After bidding farewell to her family elders, Shen Yao got on the sedan chair bound for the palace.

As the sedan started moving, Shen Yao suppressed her rare feelings of parting.

Now that the main show is about to begin, she should cheer up.

……

Fengyi Palace

A woman dressed in palace attire was sitting in front of the couch, with several maids standing beside her with their bodies bent.

Various opened account books were spread out on the table. A woman in palace dress was holding a writing brush, her brows furrowed as she kept making marks on the account books.

pat-

The brush in her hand was put down, and the woman in palace dress pinched her sore wrist, then closed the account book and handed it to the maid beside her.

"Today is the day when the new concubines enter the palace."

The woman in palace dress looked outside the palace expressionlessly, with a barely perceptible sadness flashing in her eyes.

It's that annual day when beauties enter the palace. It's really annoying.

The woman in palace dress, the current queen Wei Jingyi, sighed inwardly.

“My lady, those who came in are just women from small families.

Your Majesty has the Second Prince, why should you care about these people?"

A middle-aged woman dressed in maid's clothes, but the clothes were darker than those of other palace maids, walked up to the queen and started to belittle others in an attempt to appease her master.

Wei Jingyi shook her head when she heard this, "Mammy, that's not the case.

If possible, I would like all the ladies entering the palace this time to be of noble birth."

At least it is more noble, which can prove that the court officials still have confidence in the emperor.

But most of the girls selected now are from small families, and the only few girls from big families are concubines.

Haha, who are you looking down on?

Even though Wei Jingyi didn't like the emperor's practice of accepting new ladies into the palace every three years, this year's selection was still enough to slap the couple's faces.

The middle-aged woman's expression stiffened slightly after hearing what her master said. She pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, these beauties entering the palace will not have much impact on you." As for other inside stories, the nanny did not want to pay too much attention to them.

Wei Jingyi stood up with the help of the nanny, and agreed in her heart that it would not have much impact.

Indeed, among the three heirs in the harem, except for the second prince who was his biological son, the biological mothers of the other two princes were a third-rank noble concubine and a fourth-rank imperial concubine. All of them were not favored themselves and obtained their positions by relying on the heirs they gave birth to.

Several other high-ranking concubines in the harem were favored but had no children to rely on.

That's why the nanny said that it would be good for her if those beautiful girls from small families entered the palace. After all, the highest position they could hold was a concubine. What could they use to compete with her, the mother of a country?

However, Wei Jingyi's eyes dimmed. She understood that her biggest hidden danger was not in the seemingly dangerous harem, but in the previous dynasty where turmoil was brewing again.

The sons of the two princes who died young have reached adulthood and are going to marry a princess this year.

Not only did the princesses come from distinguished families, either from the Duke's Mansion or the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but even the Emperor Emeritus, who lived far away in Yichang Garden, stood behind the two princes' sons.

You have to know that in this selection, eight people entered the palace, the highest rank among them was concubine, but she was the concubine's daughter of a third-rank official, and the rest were all scattered among the ranks of noble ladies, maids, and concubines, and their family backgrounds were all below the fourth rank. I don't know who they were humiliating.

Hey

This is the result of the emperor not paying attention to her. Even if she is the queen and successfully gives birth to a legitimate son, there is no guarantee that she will always sit on the throne safely.

If you are not careful, the mother and child may die.

"Mammy, I sometimes wonder why I was the one who married the Emperor."

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Wei Jingyi spoke in a low voice, the kind that one couldn't hear if one didn't listen carefully.

Wei Jingyi's thoughts drifted away, and she even thought about how she had many sisters in her natal family, but she was the only one who was not favored and had to marry the emperor who was the sixth prince.

As a result, by some strange coincidence, the Sixth Prince finally got the chance to ascend the throne and sat on the throne of the Queen, thinking that his luck had turned, but he did not expect that disaster would befall him.

Your Majesty, the Grand Emperor… If the royal family is really in danger, how long can she hold on with the child?

Wei Jingyi closed her eyes and opened them again, taking a deep breath.

"Have you really decided to send your brother's daughter to be the concubine of Prince Heng's son?"

Prince Heng was the second son of the late emperor who died young, and Prince Xun was the fourth son of the late emperor who died young.

These two people are the ones mentioned earlier, the late emperor’s favorite sons. One died of illness and the other died in battle. The two eldest of their biological children will marry their wives this year.

Mammy nodded, looking worried, “Master said that we cannot watch our family fail.

The Emperor prefers the son of Prince Heng, who looks like the late Prince Heng and is far more outstanding than Prince Xun's eldest son who was born out of wedlock."

Even the two sons most loved by the retired emperor need to be prioritized.

Moreover, there is a check and balance between legitimate and illegitimate children. The son of Prince Heng is legitimate and looks similar to the previous one, so he is naturally more prominent.

Wei Jingyi sneered angrily, "I am the queen, and my father is obviously the father-in-law of the emperor, why are you still not satisfied?"

She even wanted to establish a relationship with Prince Heng's son, and for this purpose she even sent her own brother's legitimate daughter to be a concubine.

No matter how nice the title of a concubine sounds, she is just a concubine. Although the Duke of Wei's Mansion had long lost its real power, she is still alive and has a legitimate son. By doing this, the Duke of Wei's Mansion is openly challenging the emperor. No wonder the emperor has not given her any face recently and has been extremely fond of Concubine Zhou in front of and behind people.

Although Concubine Zhou was only the concubine's daughter of the Right Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister had never had a legitimate daughter and had always stood behind the Emperor. How could the Emperor not be happy?
