Du Yaoyao transmigrated into a light-hearted ancient novel called “My Powerful Minister”, where the ordinary male lead continuously moves up in life.
The male lead was promoted as an offi...

Chen Jie took advantage of Du Yaoyao in bed and in private, and in the court, he advised the prince to let go of the remnants of Prince Chen, Marquis Yongning and others. We will not mention for now that General Nguyen’s office has not given any response regarding the return because Nguyen Hu is at the border.
Chu Zheng was surprised, and Chen Jie said seriously that the world had just been settled, and in order to protect the reputation of the monarch and his subjects, they would not commit the sin of killing for the time being. If there is any unusual movement, it will not be too late to kill him.
There was some truth in what he said. Chu Zheng was kind by nature and agreed immediately.
Chen Jie promised Chu De a few days ago that he would invite him to drink at Baihua Tower. I have been busy with official duties and my sweet relationship with my wife recently, and I forgot about this.
The servant of the Third Prince's Mansion was ordered to come to the Censorate to report what happened in the Prince's Mansion today. Chen Jie hurried to Baihua Tower to visit Chu De.
The romantic prince was indeed romantic. Chu Dexin had just lost a son and was getting drunk in Baihua Tower at night.
The candlelight flickered, the incense smoke floated in the air, and two men, one fat and one thin, sat by the window. It was rare that there were no girls serving in the warm room.
In the past, wherever Chu De was, there was always a grand ceremony and constant chirping of beautiful women and sweet words.
It's quiet tonight.
Chu De heard the noise and forced a smile, "Oh, Lord Shen is here?" He knocked on the small table, "You are so late, you have to drink three cups as punishment."
Chen Jie sat down and drank three cups of wine in a row, put down the empty wine cup, and said in a deep voice: "My condolences."
"It was my son who died, not you. Why do you seem to be more bitter and resentful than me?" Chu De joked, as if it was nothing. "With so many wives and concubines and so many children, it's not normal if one of them doesn't die every two years."
Chu had more than a dozen concubines in the backyard, and his children totaled more than twenty. The concubines often fought openly and secretly for favor. In addition, the prince's wife has not given birth to a legitimate son, so if Chu stands on the side of the prince to win, he will definitely be granted a royal land in the future. Now that the position of the Crown Prince is vacant, many people are ready to make a move.
The baby who had just died was less than four months old. The little guy was lively and cute, so Chu was inevitably partial to him. As a result, the wet nurse was given a chronic poison, and the baby died of the poison as the poison accumulated over time while drinking milk.
"Too many women is really troublesome." Chen Jie guessed the secret affairs in the backyard.
"Do you think I don't want to be like you and take only one scoop from the vast ocean?" Chu De laughed at himself.
Shen Ji was silent.
Chu De once had a sweetheart, a pretty little palace maid. At the age of falling in love, the two secretly decided to spend their lives together.
The emperor issued an edict granting him marriage to a noble lady, but Chu refused. Concubine Ruan discovered the affair between Chu De and the palace maid, and instigated the emperor to strangle the little palace maid to death.
When the palace maid died, she was carrying a three-month-old baby in her belly. Chu De paid the price for this crazy love and became a playboy and irreconcilable person from then on, and was irreconcilable with Prince Chen.
If Du Yaoyao hadn't had the warning in her dream and Lin Shuwan had died by falling into the water, Chen Jie didn't know what would have become of him. Live a life of regret and die alone, or indulge in fireworks and live a life of drunkenness and dreams.
He didn't dare to think about it.
He promised Du Yaoyao to let those people go. He believed in the law of cause and effect and that God would keep her by his side.
If doing good deeds can bring blessings, it should be that she and her future children will have a peaceful life.
"What are you thinking about? Chen Jie, you seem more melancholy than your old father." Chu De drank a glass of wine and said, "People in the court say that you have changed your character! In the past, you would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go, but this time you showed mercy and took the lead in asking the prince to forgive the family members of the rebels."
Chen Jie touched his nose unnaturally, "Is it not okay to accumulate blessings for my future son and daughter?"
"Ha!" Chu De chuckled. "You don't seem to be able to say such tender words. I bet Du Yaoyao has given you some love potion. The pillow talk is really powerful!"
Chen Jie looked solemn, glanced at Lin Shuyan who was silent beside him, and refuted Chu De, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Be careful not to let lust blind you!" Chu De reminded nonchalantly.
Shen Jie took a sip of wine leisurely, "I know how to act in moderation."
"You saved the love rival for your wife, forgave the remaining evildoers in order to accumulate merit. I have never seen a more sensible counselor than you!" Chu De disagreed with Chen Jie's change of style this time.
