Yinzhen was not surprised that she would agree. Le Shu was a smart woman; only by deeply binding their interests together could they achieve their common goal.

In modern times, a marriage certificate can bind the interests of a couple together. In ancient times, could it be done through shared children, and those children would have to be a continuation of their interests?

Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is tonight okay?"

Le Shu glanced at him. What kind of talk was that? What did he mean by "can we do it tonight?"

Of course, it was possible. Le Shu agreed to have a child with him, partly because of considerations of interests, and partly because Yinzhen looked very different from the portraits that had been passed down. Not only was he very handsome, but his temperament and demeanor were also very attractive to her!

In addition, just thinking about how he once held the throne, high above everyone else, and how his hands, which held the power of life and death over reviewing memorials, were exceptionally long and beautiful, makes one's blood boil just by thinking about it!

Yinzhen understood, and a rare smile appeared on his face, somewhat wicked, as he picked the person up and placed them on the bed.

Go further down, little by little, leaving no stone unturned.

Both were experienced men, and after one "battle" ended, Yinzhen came twice more.

"I haven't asked you yet, what was your name before?"

"Chang Leshu, also known as Chang Leshu."

"You two are quite destined, sharing the same name. Do you have a courtesy name?"

"No, we no longer use courtesy names in our time."

"I'll pick one for you!"

"What's your name?"

"How about calling me Anzhi? Since you're here, make the best of it."

After a while, Le Shu said, "Okay, let's call him Anzhi!"

With a sudden burst of strength, Yinzhen lifted Yue Shu to the clouds.

I'm so tired!

"Go to sleep! I'll carry you to wash up, so you can sleep peacefully."

Yinzhen felt thoroughly satisfied.

After being reborn, he was in a daze. He arranged for Su Peisheng to have people experiment with honeycomb briquettes in the manor, and apart from going to see the children, he didn't touch anyone in the backyard.

I'm not in the mood or interested.

Tonight was his first time since his rebirth. Both of them reached their peak, and Yinzhen could be said to have truly "released" his pent-up emotions. After it was over, he felt a bit clearer-headed.

He should look forward; he will change the old ways, and he is confident that he can avert that catastrophe.

The next day, when Le Shu woke up, Yinzhen was still there.

"Don't you have to attend court?"

The person she's involved with was historically a workaholic.

"Today you are going to pay your respects to the Fujin (principal wife). I happen to have something to say to her, so I'll go with you to the main courtyard."

Le Shu had no objections, and as for whether it would arouse jealousy, she wasn't worried about that.

Le Shu smiled at him and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Fourth Master."

Yinzhen chuckled: "In private, you should just call me by my name!"

Le Shu raised an eyebrow: "Yinzhen?"

Yinzhen's smile remained unchanged: "You called me very nicely."

The two had breakfast together, and then went to the main courtyard together.

When they arrived, everyone else was already there. As for whether Yue Shu was late, since Yinzhen had come with her, she wasn't considered late.

Everyone first paid their respects to Yinzhen, who then went straight to the seat of honor and sat next to his wife. He then asked everyone to rise, and only then did Le Shu pay her respects to his wife and offer her tea.

The princess accepted the tea with a gentle smile and asked her to rise.

Things went very smoothly from then on. Le Shu offered tea to the Fujin (principal wife), bowed to Consort Li, exchanged greetings with the other princesses, and accepted gifts from the Fujin and Consort Li. Only then was the greeting session over.

"You may all go back. The master and his wife have something to discuss."

Everyone took their leave, and Le Shu's first greeting went very smoothly.

On her way back, Le Shu was first stopped by Consort Li.

"Grace Chang is quite capable. She got the master to change your accommodations before you even served him. I wonder what kind of seductive tricks she used."

Le Shu said shyly, "Your Highness's favor is too much for me. I will serve you well in the future, so please don't worry about me, Consort."

Consort Li was so angry she wanted to hit someone, but remembering that Yinzhen had accompanied her when she came today, she forcibly held back.

Even if she had more children, there would only be one master in the mansion, and that was Yinzhen.

Seeing that Le Shu was currently favored, she couldn't confront her directly. At most, she could only make a few sarcastic remarks, but she wouldn't dare to do anything too outrageous.

Consort Li snorted coldly: "You'd better pray that you can stay in the Emperor's favor forever. Sooner or later, your beauty will fade and your love will wane. I'll be waiting for that day to come."

After saying this, Consort Li couldn't help but touch her face. She felt that she was the epitome of fading beauty and declining love, and that if she had this day, the person in front of her would be the same in the future.

Le Shu: "Then please wait patiently, Consort."

Regarding why Consort Li fell out of favor, Yinzhen told her last night that it had nothing to do with her fading beauty or loss of affection. He discovered that Consort Li was using her child to compete for favor.

Even the death of Honghui's child might be somewhat related to her, but she was not the mastermind. She had several other children, and Yinzhen only made her fall out of favor, not cause her to die of illness.

Because Yinzhen himself lacked maternal love, he was always more tolerant of his children's mothers. As for the things from his previous life, many grudges were hard to explain, so he decided not to get involved.

However, if anyone tries to stir up trouble in his backyard in the future, they'll have to see if they can withstand his ruthless methods.

Consort Li stormed off.

Just after Consort Li left, Princess Niohuru and Princess Geng arrived together.

Le Shu's gaze was mainly focused on Princess Niohuru, who was the mother of Emperor Qianlong in history! She was famous for her longevity.

The two were from the previous batch of imperial concubines, entering the palace a year earlier than her. At that time, Prince Honghui died young, and the palace specially selected two princesses who were good at bearing children, especially Niohuru. Although she was not from the Niohuru direct line, her surname sounded like it was meant to produce an heir.
