Shuāngchuān of Demonic Charm Bewitching the Ruler

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...

Chapter 18 The Tenth Prince Yin's Primary Consort 8

In addition, Japan looted a large number of precious books and manuscripts from libraries throughout Japan.

According to an investigation by the American occupation authorities, Japan possessed 3 million precious books and manuscripts looted from libraries throughout Japan.

This includes various classic literary works, historical records, scientific and technological works, works of art, religious texts, etc.

On March 20, 1946, Supreme Allied Commander General Douglas MacArthur sent a memorandum to the Central Liaison Office of the Japanese government, which detailed the current location and status of various public collections and evacuated books.

This memorandum, titled "Document Regarding the Current Location and Status of Publicly Collected and Evacuated Books," mentions some important book storage locations in Japan.

The Japanese government has expressed its approval of the memorandum, which includes the Imperial Palace Museum (administered by the Imperial Palace Museum in Miyagi Prefecture), Yasukuni Shrine, Tokyo Science Museum, Oriental Art School, Tsubouchi Memorial Theater Museum, Money Museum, Calligraphy Museum, Tokyo Imperial Library, Tokyo Imperial University Library, Tokyo Imperial University Historical Archives, Keio University Library, Waseda University Library, Hibiya Library, Toyo Bunko, and Toyo Bunka University, among others.

These libraries have now become some of the world’s best databases for studying Asian culture and history, and people can find books in these libraries that cannot be found anywhere else.

Among them, the Tokyo Imperial University Library possesses the oldest and most precious classic books in China, as well as the oldest and most extensive collection of printed classic books in the world.

These collections not only reflect the richness and profound history of flower cultivation culture, but also give Japan an unparalleled position globally, especially in the field of flower cultivation research.

But this also means that even scholars who specialize in gardening often need to travel to Japan to access these priceless classics.

When Shirley thought about the future, she felt inexplicably suffocated.

This land can be changed to an emperor, but it is utterly ridiculous for it to be plundered by a bunch of ants!

"Tell me, what do you think about the day I slaughter everyone on that island?" Sherry's smile was incredibly alluring at that moment.

System: No way! You're doing good deeds and collecting dragon energy for cultivation, not for killing.

"Shouldn't one act according to their own heart in spiritual practice? That Taoism makes a lot of sense, the Tao follows nature?" Shirley couldn't quite remember. She read all sorts of books, and what she remembered most clearly were various texts.

System: That's not how you use it, Your Majesty! Calm down! I showed you recipes for getting rich from later generations, and instead you looked at those... What business is it of yours? Besides, you're a demon!

Sherry: But I feel like I've developed human emotions! And I'm a demon from China!

A certain system: ...

Sydney:……

The demon and the ruler suddenly fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

Sherry understood that her involvement in worldly spiritual practice meant she could not remain detached from worldly affairs.

As a result, they do not recognize anything about the future without scientific evidence.

But they forgot that many things are inherently mysterious, and the people of this land have been recording them step by step.

What's even more interesting is that some things, after being verified by later scientific studies, have revealed the boundless wisdom of our ancestors!

Sydney began her journey of learning about pregnancy.

When she occasionally ran into Yinzhen in the palace, Xue Li would dart her eyes around but never look at him.

They exchanged greetings and then went their separate ways.

Yinzhen rubbed his fingers together, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

When Sherry saw him, she suddenly thought of the future Emperor Qianlong.

So, Shirley specially chose a day to visit her fourth sister-in-law.

She felt a strange sense of guilt.

Sherry: This is a feudal dynasty, a feudal dynasty...

Sherry presented the gifts she had brought to the Fourth Prince's wife, and then several princesses accompanied her.

Sherry directly administered the "saintly drug" to Niohuru.

Both host and guests had a good time!

In March of the 41st year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1702), Lady Song and Lady Xilinjueluo gave birth to a daughter.

Sydney treated them the same way.

Yin'e was much more frustrated. One or two was fine, but why were all his children daughters, just like Ninth Brother?

In early May of the same year, Sydney gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Sherry: So, you got pregnant that time? But it was a girl?

Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager bestowed upon her many gifts, including the names Honghan and Wuergeshen.

Han: Han means the first light of dawn, symbolizing hope and a new beginning.

Ulgeshan: a small deer, symbolizing good fortune.

The Niohuru family also frequently visited.

Yinzhen was quite happy; he finally had a son, and a legitimate one at that.

The original owner's parents, who were far away in Mongolia, requested permission to send cattle and sheep to Xue Li.

Snow Pear was delighted.

The two little ones were so ugly it was unbearable to look at, and Shirley almost cried from grievance.

Most of the time, they were cared for by wet nurses.

Sherry still fed them health-boosting and intelligence-enhancing pills. She certainly didn't need any more!

Meanwhile, in the backyard, Guo Luoluo, Liu, and Xitala also became pregnant.

Sherry: Tsk tsk tsk, isn't the tenth brother quite good at spreading his favors evenly?

At the full moon celebration, all the brothers and their wives were quite envious of the tenth prince.

Yinzhen also gifted the twins a pair of antique jade pieces, and placed a box in Xue Li's hands...

Achido: "Madam, he... he keeps staring at the young masters!"

"It's normal, everyone's watching, right?! Besides, they're so ugly..." Sherry closed her eyes as she thought of her two little kids. How could she possibly give birth to ugly kids who looked like monkeys?

Sherry felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.

“Madam, Granny Fang and Aunt Jasmine both said that she will be beautiful when she grows up!” Aqiduo had gotten used to it these days, and she could tell what her Madam was thinking just by looking at her.

Even the Empress Dowager felt sorry for the two young masters, having such an unreliable mother.

Sherry opened the box; inside were several property deeds, a beautiful hairpin, and a warm, lustrous piece of antique jade.

Sherry: Oh, it's got a special charm. I'm even thinking of stealing the two pieces from the child.

On second thought, I'm still a bit conflicted. What's the big deal? If I ignore him, will he hold a grudge against me later?

Sherry was so annoyed that she eventually researched the soap recipe from later generations.

Well, let's make money first. Making money to help the people is good too, even if it doesn't bring great fortune.

Sherry looked at two versions: one was a chemical formula from a certain system, and the other was in simple handwriting.

Sherry almost lost her composure and quickly threw the chemistry formula back into the system space.

She's not a masochist who researches those things!

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to copy it myself using the simplified characters.

Is Sydney struggling to decide who to collaborate with?

Ninth brother, in the end, didn't it just benefit the eighth brother?

Fourth brother, that won't work. In a sense, they're not familiar with each other.

The Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager doesn't care about anything... and she doesn't want to care about anything either!

"Madam, what are you thinking about?" Achido asked, leaning closer.

"I want to do business, but I'm struggling to find a partner!" Sherry poked the little baby's chubby cheeks repeatedly, making the little baby pout and look like he was about to cry.

"Isn't there Ninth Master?" Achido quickly picked up the little prince and asked.

"He's so stupid, all he knows is to be Eighth Master's money bag!" Sherry switched to another baby and continued poking, while Achido winked at the wet nurse and took the two children away.
