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...
She saw Yinzhen looking at her with an incredulous expression and on the verge of tears. The several concubines and maids were instantly terrified and fell silent as chickens.
After all, the way Yinzhen looked at them was truly unfriendly.
Sherry: What a terrible thing to do!
"You guys go back to the courtyard~" Sherry gave them a look, and the five of them understood and left.
Yinzhen was displeased and strode over angrily, "You, you, you even flirted with them in front of me?!"
"No way! I just told them to leave on their own!" Sherry said firmly. It was true; Sherry had arranged for the main kitchen to give them extra food.
"You even let them touch your hands and feed you!" Yin Tang said with absolute certainty. He had seen it himself; he had observed that even Lady Lang wanted to kiss his wife.
Lang: It's so foggy, Master!
"Isn't it their duty to serve me? What, you can't bear to part with me?" Sherry turned the tables on me, and surprisingly, it didn't feel so bad.
"What do you mean?! The master has never even looked at them properly." Yinzhen said, sounding aggrieved, his eyes reddening.
"Really?" Sherry looked delighted and smiled happily.
"Of course!" Yin Tang said, turning his face away and ignoring her.
"Okay, I'll reward my beloved Ninth Prince with a kiss." Xue Li coaxed softly, hugging Yin Tang and kissing him on the face, chin, and lips again and again.
Yinzhen was somewhat pleased, but still made his stance clear.
"Only I love you the most. They're all just after your money and your body! They're all hypocritical. Don't be fooled by them."
Sherry: ...Something feels off.
System: Is it possible that you're a scumbag woman?
Sherry: You must be blind!
"Mmm, I love Tangtang the most~ okay~ little Tangtang~" Shirley suddenly wanted to tease him, her voice gentle and tender.
As expected, Yinzhen couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and pretended to be reserved as Xue Li kissed and hugged him.
Because Shirley explained that Yinzhen had conceded, allowing them to serve her, but not every day.
Sherry agreed! They were both quite happy.
Within two days, Shirley received more gifts from her sisters-in-law.
Or some of their sisters-in-law come with them.
Sherry then arranged for a ventriloquist performance. Several wives lay in the pavilion with their eyes closed, pretending to sleep, listening to the ventriloquist's lifelike performance.
Perhaps it's because of the large group and the lively atmosphere that they can chatter away about even ordinary programs.
As dusk approached, everyone went home, and Shirley gave each of them a prescription.
Flana was the last to leave.
She exudes a maternal glow at this moment.
Flana hugged and kissed the little one, lifting him high in the air. The little one was fair and tender, giggling sweetly in his little baby voice.
Soon, the ninth and tenth brothers returned together.
Everyone had a meal together, and then saw the tenth man and his wife off.
The tenth prince isn't favoring his concubine over his wife right now; he's treating Frana quite well.
As for whether it's reluctance or fear, who knows!
Shirley waited for half a year until the child was stronger before bringing him to the palace to be seen by Consort Yi.
Consort Yi maintained a certain air of composure when looking at Xue Li, but her smile immediately blossomed into a beaming one when she saw Hongchao.
Sherry stayed at Yikun Palace for most of the day before leaving, and when she did, she was carrying large and small bags.
Because she was afraid that Consort Yi would miss the little one too much, Xue Li brought a portrait of the child with her every time she entered the palace in the past six months.
In this way, even though Consort Yi couldn't see the little one, seeing the painting was a great comfort!
Soon, Flana will also be giving birth.
In early April of the 40th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1701), Flanna went into labor.
Because Sherry was watching closely, those dirty things didn't enter the delivery room.
However, Sherry still managed to subdue the man and hand him over to Granny Flana and the head maid of the Tenth Prince's residence.
She just doesn't believe Lao Shi.
After all, the one he targeted was his beloved!
Franna also had a son. After Sherry finished telling her, she saw a cold glint flash in Franna's eyes.
"Thank you, really!" said Flana, before falling asleep.
Sherry had Flora's people keep a close eye on him, which made Yin feel somewhat embarrassed and awkward.
Shirley didn't say anything and took Yinzhen back to the mansion.
"Yin Tang, you have a good relationship with the Tenth Prince! If he dares to favor his concubine over his wife, you should teach him a lesson! An elder brother is like a father!"
Sherry spoke with conviction, asserting that her friends were not to be bullied.
Yin Tang was stunned for a long time by Xue Li's words "elder brother is like father". How come he remembered it was the eldest brother who was like father?
After a long pause, Yinzhen suddenly said, "If you calculate it this way, Tenth Prince, you have one Imperial Father and nine fathers!"
As he spoke, Yinzhen looked on with admiration!
I don't know whether I admire the tenth prince or Emperor Kangxi.
"Don't be jealous, you only have one less father than him!" Xue Li gently comforted him, and Yin Tang looked depressed for a moment.
Sherry was overjoyed as she took a bath and put on makeup.
Spring has arrived, a perfect time for reproduction and life.
The couple started making sauces and fermented food.
Before going to sleep, Yinzhen whispered, "I will never let you down!"
Sherry nestled in his arms and slept soundly.
When Sherry woke up in the early morning, she saw a baby grinning and saying "Aba aba".
So cute!
Sherry teased and played with it for a while!
From May to June, Tangyi, Lanzhou, and Hezhou experienced droughts one after another.
Old Nine was already used to it, and he arranged for people to donate grain and supplies to provide disaster relief.
For this reason, Lao Jiu was particularly favored by some of the prefectures below.
After all, this guy is a living god of wealth.
Even if we can't promote them, it's still good if we can help drive the development of their region.
If they do a good job, that's also their achievement.
Therefore, many ministers liked him.
Yinzhen understood this and investigated those people thoroughly.
When he caught a cunning and corrupt official, Yin Tang would either make a record of it and impeach him, or hand it over to his brother who was on duty.
The main idea is to ensure that everyone benefits equally.
No one bothered him, but some bigwigs were disgusted by Lao Jiu's lack of appreciation.
But Lao Jiu would complain at the slightest disagreement.
They specifically target his rivals, stabbing them in the back, and they always succeed.
Sydney selected some people from the college to work.
The work includes making dried fruit, canned goods, and fruit wine.
As the weather gets colder, the vegetables at Wenquan Zhuangzi are growing very well.
Shirley arranged for more people to pick some, and had Yinzhen send a portion each to Emperor Kangxi and Consort Yi.
I sent some more to my brothers!
Yin Tang didn't care about donating money, but he was heartbroken when given a little bit of green vegetables.
Sherry had to use both sweet talk and kisses to coax him back to his senses.
"I'm just not happy. There's only a tiny bit, not even enough for us to eat. We'll have to give it to them!"
"That's enough, we'll send more to the estate tomorrow!" Shirley almost laughed.
It took me nearly two years of research to understand vegetable greenhouses; they're not just limited to the Wenquan Zhuangzi area.
Yin Tang was relieved to hear this.
"That's good. My Yaoling is so delicate, she certainly can't be wronged!"
"Okay, thank you, Yin Tang!" Xue Li sat in his lap, the two of them snuggling together.
The little guy sat on a soft fur carpet with several servants, counting small gold ingots.
