With her dual plant and beast-mastery superpowers, Lu Wanyin is reborn back to her wedding night. Her husband is a general, strong and well-built. Unfortunately, the next day the new emperor orders...
Chapter 425: Dismantling the Harem
In the blink of an eye, Lu Wanyin was about to leave her confinement period.
However, abnormalities began to appear in the side hall.
The old lady became more and more strange.
Every time Lu Wanyin went to see the two children, the old lady always looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Until one day, when Lu Wanyin went to the side hall, she saw the little girl kicking her chubby feet.
The solid wood crib guardrail was kicked in two.
The old lady was so frightened that she quickly protected the little girl's feet: "Oh, look at me, how did I accidentally break the crib?"
This attempt to cover up something that only made it more obvious made Lu Wanyin laugh and cry.
She took two steps closer and pulled the old woman's hand away: "Grandma, this broken piece of wood still has burrs on it. Be careful not to prick your hand."
The old lady looked at Lu Wanyin with a guilty look on her face. "Wanyin, this child isn't particularly strong. This crib must be too flimsy. Let's get another one."
Lu Wanyin looked at the crib and the old lady's guilty expression, and thought for a long time: "Grandma, you don't think that I would dislike these two little guys, do you?"
The old lady stammered twice but said nothing.
In this world, a baby who is not even a month old and has such strange powers might really be burned as a monster.
No wonder, the old lady always used to happily hold the two children and play with Lu Wanyin.
These past few days, not only did he not come, he even seemed to be avoiding her.
Lu Wanyin held the little girl in her arms and gently pinched her feet: "Grandma, this is my child, how can I not love her?
I am so capable, it is normal for my children to be superior to ordinary people.
These are just the beginning. I'm afraid there will be more abnormalities in the future. Grandma should get used to it sooner rather than later."
The little girl felt a little tickled by her pinch, and she kicked her feet and giggled happily.
Upon hearing this, the old lady felt relieved and regained her bright smile: "These two children are really cute, but their personalities are a bit opposite.
The little girl is lively and active, but the little prince is very quiet.
Besides eating and sleeping, he wouldn't say a word unless he was annoyed by the little girl's annoyance. "
The old lady happily went to hug little Xunzhou.
The little guy opened his black eyes, held her hand, smiled from time to time, and was very quiet.
The old lady's heart melted when she saw the baby. She held the baby in her arms and cherished it like her darling.
Lu Wanyin played with the child for a while and then put the little girl back on the bed.
The two dolls are as crystal clear and cute as porcelain.
When they were still in the womb, they were tempered by spiritual spring water thousands of times. They will never suffer from any disease and will be immune to all poisons in this life.
She even fed it some spiritual spring water as an experiment, but it had no effect at all.
"grandmother."
Lu Wanyin's gaze shifted from the child to the old lady's bright smile. "After all, the child is still young, and the little girl is very active. It's hard to control the strength. Even if you want to get close to her, you have to be careful."
"Okay, okay."
The old lady agreed without any worry.
My great-granddaughter looks good no matter how you look at her.
In a month, Xie Jingci quickly cleared up the accumulated matters in the court.
Everything is back on track, and the imperial city is even more prosperous than before.
As soon as the ministers had some free time, they involuntarily turned their attention to Xie Jingci's only concubine.
But before they could make suggestions and propose to enrich the harem, the entire harem was rejected.
All the palaces prepared for the concubines were pushed aside!
As the entire court was dumbfounded, Xie Jingci issued an order: "Tear down all the buildings in the harem and turn them into a petting zoo."
The chief eunuch was a little confused and paid special attention to Xie Jingci's expression.
After confirming that he was in a very good mood, he spoke cautiously, "But Your Majesty, are you going to give up everything? The Empress's bedroom..."
Xie Jingci's face darkened: "I said to demolish it all, don't you understand? The Queen will live in my bedroom, why does she need a separate bedroom?"
Are you kidding? Madam, when she's unhappy, she ignores him. Isn't that enough?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they directly demolished her bedroom.
The lady could only rest with him every day.
When he thought of this, Xie Jingci was secretly delighted.
The corners of his lips, which had just been pulled down, couldn't help but rise again, and he couldn't suppress them no matter what he did.
"yes."
The eunuch was secretly shocked.
It seems that the queen of Da Sheng is destined to become the most powerful queen in history.
After the eunuch received the order, he bowed and took his leave.
Before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at Xie Jingci's face.
It's strange, why does it look like there is a footprint on Your Majesty's face?
It looks like a miniature baby's footprint.
When the Ministry of Industry received the imperial edict, they were also dumbfounded: "Your Majesty is serious!"
"Nonsense, Your Majesty is a very busy man, how could he joke with you?"
The chief eunuch waved his whisk and said, "Complete it within five days. If you delay, His Majesty will blame you and punish you all!"
Everyone in the Ministry of Works responded in agreement, sweating profusely.
The new emperor's preferences are really special.
The petting zoo was built quickly.
After all, pets don’t need to build a house. You just need to break through the original fence and build a larger rain shelter.
Rockeries and flowing water are all available.
All that’s left is for Lu Wanyin to take action.
She planted exotic flowers and plants in 30% of the area, and even the walls were covered with various green plants.
Some suitable flowers were picked and planted. After a rain came from Linquan, the branches and leaves grew, and the whole palace was full of greenery.
The animals inside were released directly by Lu Wanyin from the space. The species collected along the way, plus those added in the wilderness, are now very complete.
There are all kinds of them, and they get along very harmoniously.
Lu Wanyin decorated every corner of the petting zoo very carefully.
She even built swing sets in both yards.
The vines, strengthened by the plant's special abilities, are entwined layer by layer.
Warm jade is buried at the roots of the vines, so the vines will not wither even in the cold winter.
An official passed by this place when entering the palace and saw the prosperous harem. He burst into tears and said: "It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
Our Dasheng is in a state of disrepair, yet Your Majesty is wasting so much money on these useless things just to please the Queen.
What should I do as a people of Dasheng?
It has grown so well in just a few days. It must have been transplanted directly from somewhere else at a high price.
The national treasury is already empty, how can it afford such extravagance?"
Before he could finish, the Minister of Revenue who was traveling with him quickly covered his mouth and pulled him away.
When he reached a deserted corner, he dared to speak: "Just shut up.
Do you think Da Sheng is still the Da Sheng under the previous emperor? Our national treasury has been almost full for a long time.
Two days ago, Your Majesty discussed with me and the Minister of Works the expansion of the national treasury."
"What"
The official was shocked: "Not long ago, our Dasheng treasury was empty, and there was not even a candle left. How long has it been?"
The Minister of Revenue sighed and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.
You and I have been officials for many years, but we are ultimately short-sighted.
In the past few days, I have come to understand a truth."
