Xueli, a snake demon who had been cultivating diligently in the deep mountains for 500 years, was caught by a passing system just as she was barely surviving a lightning tribulation. She then sough...
How many heartbroken men and women can't get over it?!
Throughout history, very few couples have truly understood each other's hearts and maintained a lasting relationship!
Just enjoy the moment!
Sherry had no idea what kind of turbulent emotions her performance stirred in the heart of a boy experiencing love for the first time!
All she knew was that Yinzhen had changed and was now very patient with her.
A month later, Sherry received feedback on her masterpiece!
Well, there are quite a few people criticizing it, but even more people are following it!
It's nowhere near as good as her erotic paintings, but it has a large following!
At least there are female storytellers in teahouses!
Men don't like to watch it, but women do!
From ten-year-olds to sixty-year-olds, there were so many bowls of dog blood pears that we couldn't keep up with them all.
What about melodramatic love stories, substitute tropes, fake heiresses, lovers ending up as siblings, the male lead only loving the dead, the "love her and you'll torture her to death" trope, the "white moonlight" and "black moonlight" tropes, the "running away with a baby" trope, and the "if you can't be his wife, be his mother" trope...
The more outrageous the better, and the public's complaints don't stop it from becoming popular.
It became so popular that even Yinzhen noticed it. After all, the storytelling teahouse and the wildly popular bookstore were both gifts from Yinzhen.
The other two businesses are a fabric company and a company that sells imported goods.
Xue Li made a fortune and was overjoyed every day.
In a moment of joy, he painted a picture for Yinzhen!
If I really want to give her a gift, a cheap one wouldn't be presentable, and an expensive one she wouldn't be willing to spend the money on—she has several children!
So, let's just draw!
Sherry always feels that her memory isn't very good!
Sherry: I remember that Emperor Yongzheng was the one who liked dress-up games, right?!
System: Oh right, you don't remember?!
Sydney: I'm a little unsure!
A system: Look, you got struck by lightning and went crazy, huh?! You weren't smart to begin with! Tsk tsk tsk...
Sydney:……
Shirley ignored it and drew Yinzhen as a monk and herself as a human with a snake's tail.
Yes, it tempts the Holy Spirit to fall!
Sherry was extremely excited!
Imagine a pure and abstinent young monk, radiating holiness, whose cultivation is disrupted by a seductive snake demon.
Oh dear...
Sherry was increasingly satisfied with the look and left it to dry.
Then, taking advantage of a burst of inspiration, I drew the second one. The monk's face and lips were stained with blood, his clothes were tattered, and you could vaguely see his strong chest and abdominal muscles covered in wounds. His face was broken, and his eyes were cold and indifferent!
The snake demon's eyes were alluring, circling and entwining...
Sherry's smile became increasingly lewd!
Perhaps fearing that he might disturb Xue Li, Yinzhen sat quietly on the couch reading a book after arriving, without entering the study to disturb her.
Yinzhen held the book in his hand, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Two books have recently become incredibly popular, enjoyed by everyone in the imperial harem, from concubines to palace maids and eunuchs.
If you ask someone about a plot point and you don't know the answer, you won't be able to join their group.
What bothered Yinzhen was not that, but that someone had discovered that he was protecting that teahouse and bookstore.
Even some of his brothers asked him who the genius who wrote that masterpiece was. The women in their backyard really liked it...
Yinzhen tried his best to keep a serious face and pretend not to understand in order to escape!
What's even more exciting is that the ninth and tenth brothers, who are both reckless, have a similar personality to the male protagonist of one of the books called "Running Away with a Baby"!
That's utter nonsense!
He thought that was the end of it, but then that idiot Lao Shi (eldest brother) blurted out that the two male protagonists in "The Overbearing Prince" looked exactly like his eldest and second brothers!
Little did they know that before the tenth brother had even finished speaking, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Fortunately, the Crown Prince's second brother was not here, but those words would reach his ears sooner or later.
The older brother looked puzzled and said he wanted to go back and take a look.
Yes, many great scholars have publicly criticized those two books: they are unbearably vulgar!
But he had too many women pursuing him.
Sherry knew nothing yet and was still meticulously describing the scene.
Yinzhen frowned slightly as he looked at Xue Li's masterpiece.
He finally understood why the readers were complaining; they just couldn't express their feelings even though they had mouths.
They're bound to misunderstand each other and hurt one another!
Thinking of this, he thought of himself; Lao Jiu insisted that he resembled this male protagonist.
How is that possible?!
He is expressive; for example, he likes Ms. Li very much and is generous in his affection and praise for her.
Sherry didn't come out until it was time for dinner!
Seeing Yinzhen's delighted expression, before he could even think of what to say, she pulled him aside to admire her paintings.
When Yinzhen saw the two portraits of the "Holy Monk," which were clearly his and Xue Li's faces, his face turned bright red on the spot!
Then they just took it, saying they wanted to keep it!
Sherry: ⊙▽⊙
Sherry looked like she was about to cry: "Sir, please leave me one! I've been painting all afternoon, and my hands are sore!"
Yinzhen blushed as he looked at Xue Li, who was pouting pitifully.
I felt helpless and conflicted.
He himself didn't know whether he was afraid of people seeing his appearance or even more afraid of others seeing the seductive appearance of his favorite concubine.
"How about I send you a few paintings in a couple of days? With you, with me, with the children!"
Yinzhen held her and gently coaxed her. He was certain, and he was afraid that others would see her charming appearance.
His people can only be his!
Sherry reluctantly agreed.
"Then you have to massage my hands. If I'm not satisfied, you'll have to pay me back!"
"Alright! I'll make it up to you! I'll listen to Fei'er!" Yinzhen smiled and kissed her, having completely forgotten about the two books that were filled with melodramatic clichés.
Su Peisheng took the painting away, but brought a lot of jewelry with him, which was obviously from Yinzhen's private treasury.
Yinzhen glanced at Su Peisheng with admiration, making Su Peisheng extremely proud.
Yinzhen coaxed her to massage her hand joints, and Xue Li looked at him with burning eyes.
Yinzhen was so shy, like a young bride, that he didn't dare to look at her, his ears turning red as he pressed them together.
At night, the two of them were very affectionate and tender with each other. Yinzhen now liked to hold her and kiss her quietly.
Early in the morning, Xue Li slept soundly, and it wasn't until Yinzhen entered the palace that he remembered what he was supposed to do yesterday.
Thinking of this, his face turned cold and stern, and he instinctively rubbed the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist!
Sherry knew nothing, but during a pulse diagnosis, she revealed that she was two months pregnant.
When Yinzhen received the news, a surge of immense joy welled up in his chest.
He strode along, eager to see Sherry, but first he saw his wife, who was walking with her belly in her hand.
Yinzhen was taken aback, then stepped forward to help her up; the princess's eyes were filled with shyness.
"Is the child bothering you? How are you feeling?" Yinzhen asked, trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart.
"It's alright, everything is fine, sir, there's no need to worry! Speaking of which, Miss Li is also pregnant, sir, why don't you go and take a look at her!"
The Fujin knew in her heart that, putting everything else aside, this road was the one leading to Li's courtyard, so why should she make herself disliked?
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen suddenly didn't want to go anymore!
"Yes, with you here in the manor, I have nothing to worry about! You can walk around a bit more, I'm going to my study!"
As Yinzhen spoke, he turned and went back to the front yard. Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.
Ignoring the surprise of his wife and servants, he stayed alone in his study, his mind filled with thoughts of "favoritism."
For example, the Emperor's favoritism towards his second elder brother, the Crown Prince.
For example, the mother's favoritism towards the fourteenth brother.
For example, his favoritism towards Lady Li, his wife.
So, it turns out, all of these things are beyond our control!
