The system was almost speechless and gently reminded Feng Yuzhen in her mind: "Host, you have to think about it. This Mr. Cheng is not a high-status person and cannot earn much admiration. On the contrary, if this matter is exposed,

Your future may be ruined."

The emperor cherished Xia Zhaoyi. Even if she had some affair with Cheng Langjun, the emperor would not care for the sake of the eldest son. However, the host did not have such confidence.

Feng Yuzhen also regretted her mistake, but she didn't turn back. She made such nonsense in front of Xia Tong. What would it look like to take it back now?

What's more, although Xia Tong deliberately provoked the general, the words he said were too bullying. In order to defend the reputation of the most beautiful woman in the capital, Feng Yuzhen could not lose face no matter what.

However, she would not fight for others in vain. Feng Yuzhen said calmly: "What benefits will I get after the incident is completed?"

Xia Tong smiled and said, "I will submit a letter to Your Majesty and grant you the title of Jieyu."

Feng Yuzhen thought for a while, relying on her own strength, she would probably only be an unknown beauty in this life. Although Xia Tong was unwilling to help her win the favor, the promotion was a small reward - in fact, compared to Li Zi,

Feng Yuzhen values ​​​​face more. Regardless of whether she can sleep with him or not, as long as she is the beloved concubine favored by the emperor, Feng Yuzhen's vanity will be greatly satisfied. She doesn't want to have any children. Apart from harming her body, she does not do anything to women.

benefit.

The plan was decided, Feng Yuzhen stood up and said, "Okay, let's just say it. I hope you won't make a mistake."

She thought that if the Dong Chuang incident happened, she would drag Xia Tong into the water, and no one would have an easy time - anyway, it was Xia Tong who Cheng Yao had said he wanted to marry before, and she had brought this trouble on herself.

After returning home, Feng Yuzhen cheered up and asked the system to call up the data on the panel to check - the system has an account of the population of the capital city, regardless of which household, male, female, old or young. Of course, it would not be looked at in detail at ordinary times.

It not only revealed Cheng Yao's family background, but also clearly displayed his outline in the host's mind in a 3D projection mode.

Feng Yuzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, "He is indeed a handsome man."

system:……

Well, he should have known about the host's appearance control attribute a long time ago. The reason why Feng Yuzhen refused to give up the attack on the Emperor of Zhou was that in addition to the emperor's own monstrous luck, appearance was also a very important factor.

Mr. Cheng also has a good face.

The host systematically and skillfully introduced his family background, academic background, personality preferences, etc., but when he thought about the last birth date, he suddenly froze.

Feng Yuzhen frowned, "What's wrong?"

Most people's destiny is determined at birth, which can be determined from the horoscope of Nian Geng. This is also an important indicator for her to choose the target of her strategy.

The system was sluggish for a moment, and then he grumbled: "This Mr. Cheng's luck seems to be extremely strong. At least he can be a very popular minister, and at most he can even break the earth and become a king."

But the strange thing is that he has been here for nearly a hundred years and has never noticed this purple star before. When did it appear? And this luck seems to be born naturally, rather than being influenced by this dynasty.

The influence of national destiny is really incredible.

Feng Yuzhen didn't understand this. All she needed to know was that this mission would bring in a lot of money. She thought Xia Tong picked a small shrimp for her, but it turned out to be a big fish. Feng Yuzhen almost thanked her.

She said confidently: "No matter how powerful he is, in the end he is just a subordinate of this palace."

system:……

It really admires the host's natural optimism.

Xia Tong released Feng Yuzhen, the dangerous object, and ignored everything else. He just spent the summer in Guanju Palace. Although he was a little worried because of Cheng Yao's upcoming arrival, it was not a blessing. It was a curse that could not be avoided. Sooner or later, he would have to face him.

That's right. Now she is no longer as stagnant as she was when she first entered the palace. After having a child, she always puts her child's interests at risk. Others, especially these unrelated people, are just passers-by.

After returning from Xishan, she started practicing calligraphy again, and her mind was naturally calm. There was nothing more peaceful than sitting in front of the table and practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke.

After going through the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the emperor found the roster for her to copy.

This was the first time that Xia Tong discovered that there were so many people in the palace. She was frugal enough, but since Dundun was born, Guanju Palace has become a lot more lively. In addition to the four wet nurses who take turns taking care of Dundun day and night, there are also

There are palace maids responsible for cleaning up toilets, eunuchs responsible for guarding, and even an old palace servant who specializes in tending flowers and plants is sent to the flower room to prevent any inappropriate smells from disturbing the little prince.

With so many people deployed, the salary alone is a large sum of money. No wonder the palace has a large expenditure every year - not to mention the ostentation of the Empress Dowager Jiang and Concubine Jiang.

Xia Tong didn't talk about shortcomings behind his back, but only used the analogy of his own palace, "I think four wet nurses are too many, it would be easier to cut off two."

She was breastfeeding herself, and her milk was abundant. The nannies couldn't really help much except for daily care. Besides, as Dundun grew up, the nannies would eventually have to quit. According to the practice of the Zhou Dynasty,

When the little prince is about ten years old, only one will be left and the rest will be sent away.

Since leaving early is the same as leaving late, why bother?

Liu Zhang said: "These are customized by the palace. If you cut them off rashly, the Queen Mother will definitely not be happy..."

Seeing Xia Tong drooping his head, Liu Zhang could only explain politely, "Of course, rules are one thing, but more importantly, this can ensure their loyalty to you and Dundun, and make it easier to use them."

Xia Tong was puzzled.

Liu Zhang patiently said: "Born from sorrow and dying from happiness, if this group of people were determined to serve from the beginning, how much effort would they put into the little prince? On the contrary, first arrange more manpower. In order to stand out, they will naturally double the effort.

Perform in front of you, so that you can choose the best and most suitable arm."

Xia Tong understood, it was actually a bit like the strategy of a wolf pack. In order to make the mutton stronger and stronger, they deliberately led a few wolves to chase after them during grazing, so that the herdsmen could get the best harvest - there was competition in the palace.

So cruel.

No wonder almost every palace has the problem of redundant personnel. It turns out that it’s not that the emperor doesn’t want to take care of it, it’s necessary. If there is a big wave of layoffs in the future, it can be supplemented in time. After all, choosing palace ladies is not an easy task.

Xia Tong was actually just acting out her feelings, and had no intention of asking the emperor to lay off people according to her wishes - she had not yet assisted the Sixth Palace, so wouldn't she be acting as a substitute?

Now that his doubts were answered, Xia Tong quickly figured it out and said to the emperor excitedly: "Your Majesty, let's order a mutton pot for dinner?"

Liu Zhang frowned, "What kind of pot should we eat in the summer? Besides, where can we get the mutton in season?"

Xia Tong: "...then venison will also work."

She remembered that the roe deer and wild deer that the emperor went to Xishan to hunt last month had not yet been eaten. Most of them were dried and stored in the cellar, just right for making cold dishes, and the deer blood wine brewed previously was used to accompany the meal.

Liu Zhang looked at her with a more fiery gaze, "So that's what you mean, I understand."

Then he called An Ruhai and asked him to go down and make arrangements.

Xia Tong:...What do you understand?

As a result, she didn't eat a few pieces of venison that night, but had a delicious meal of human meat - she almost bit the emperor's shoulder. How could this dog man be so strong!

She felt that it was more stressful than riding in a carriage, and her whole body felt like it was falling apart. If she had known better, she would not have given him the deer blood wine - she did not know that the side effects would be so severe!

Liu Zhang hugged her contentedly, "Tongtong, let's give Dundun a princess to keep him company."

Xia Tong chose to pretend to be dead. Besides, this was not something she could decide. Although it was pitiful for Dundun to be alone in this palace without a companion.

Just let nature take its course.

Cheng Yao rushed back to the capital in early June, which was the most difficult time of the year. Although he was sweating from the heat, he was very happy in his heart. Princess Yilin was indeed an easy woman to deceive, and she got married with just a few words.

When - he suddenly felt that marrying this princess was not a bad thing. With Liu Yilin's love for him, she would definitely be able to be a good wife in the future.

Of course, he would not break up with the Xia family because of this.

Cheng Yao went to find Xia Changsong first. He wanted to catch up with the man about old friendships, but the concierge told him that the young master and his new wife had gone on a trip and would probably not come back in a few days.

Cheng Yao also heard about Xia Changsong being chosen as the consort by the Beirong Princess, and he complained in his heart that he was ridiculous. What's so good about a woman who comes from a land where she drinks raw hair and drinks blood? They are all careless, which shows that the Xia family's vision is not very good.

Xia Tong was also confused, thinking that everything would be fine once he entered the palace. Little did he know that His Majesty the Emperor was not a man of longevity, so leaving mother and son behind in the future would lead to hardship!

Of course, these are none of his business. Now Cheng Yao just wants to coax Princess Yilin with peace of mind and don't let anyone ruin the plan - he was too stubborn before and insisted on hanging from a tree, but now

He won't be as impulsive as a young boy.

After entering the palace and handing over a greeting card, someone led him to the inner court.

Passing through the stone path of the Imperial Garden, Princess Yilin was waiting for him at the end of the corridor, with unconcealed excitement on her face, "You're here."

Cheng Yao smiled and nodded to her without saying a word, but his speaking eyes seemed to contain infinite affection.

Princess Yilin felt that she had indeed seen the right person. If Cheng Yao didn't really love her, how could he come here in this hot day regardless of the fatigue of traveling and traveling?

Just as he was about to let his lover try some ice bowl to rest his breath, a delicate and thin voice beside him suddenly said: "Citron, are you sure you remember correctly? I really dropped my bracelet here?"

It turned out to be Feng Yuzhen and her maid. They were both wearing thin shirts. They were sweating slightly and panting lightly. Feng Yuzhen also had a simple garland on her head, which seemed to have been woven from the tender flowers and leaves on the roadside.

, it was inserted on top of her head but it was indescribably suitable.

Princess Yilin turned dark when she saw her innocent look, "Feng Meiren, what are you doing here?"

Feng Yuzhen held up the hem of her skirt and bowed gently, "Princess."

He raised his face as if unintentionally. "This is..."

Princess Yilin suddenly felt something bad. She looked at Cheng Yao like a python catching its prey. Where did this man come from?

Cheng Yao also noticed that he had seen many women's flirtatious looks, but this was the first time he had seen her so vividly and skillfully.
