Chapter 103 Let’s go to the martial arts training ground to watch Yu’er practice archery
Ji Jinyou knew nothing about what happened in the Sixth Princess's mansion. In the next few days, he was taken to Chongde Hall by Emperor Wen Zhao every day to play chess with him.
How could such a young child play chess? Concubine Ru just thought that Emperor Wen Zhao liked Youyou, and she happily sent the little girl out every time.
Ji Jinyou found it very strange. Every time she went there, there were other concubines in Chongde Hall, sometimes two, sometimes three. She didn't like playing chess and was too lazy to use her brain. Every time she just made random moves while in her heart she talked to Tong Tong about the situations of those concubines.
However, those concubines in these few days were young, had entered the palace for a short time, and had no children. Even if there were any conflicts, they were just minor fights, some jealousies between women, nothing earth-shattering.
This continued for several days, and Emperor Wen Zhao felt much better. When he met the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, he sighed and said, "I knew that my harem couldn't be full of treacherous people."
Another day, Ji Jinyou came to Chongde Hall and saw two beautiful young concubines accompanying her. The little girl complained in her heart: "Why does the emperor call different concubines to accompany him every day?"
System: [All emperors behave like this.]
Ji Jinyou: [A few days ago, he said he would be nice to my mother. Humph, my father is just a playboy. 】
Hearing the childish complaint and the disgusted roll of eyes, Emperor Wen Zhao blushed, and his hand holding the teacup trembled, spilling a few drops of tea.
Ji Jinyou was unhappy, but he only dared to complain in his heart and didn't show it too much. After bowing and greeting, he walked to the couch automatically, kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the couch, knelt in front of the table, and started to play chess.
For several days in a row, Tong Tong did not reveal any major events. Emperor Wen Zhao thought that today would be the same. He sat down on the other side of the chessboard with a smile and placed a black piece.
Ji Jinyou picked up a white piece and put it down randomly, and then started chatting with Tongtong in his mind: [Tongtong, who are they? Why don’t I seem to know them?]
The system flipped through the pages and replied: [Those are Concubine Yi and Lady Shen. ]
Concubine Yi and Lady Shen were called in and sat there for a long time. They were just sitting there confused when they heard the words "All emperors are like this." They were very surprised, but when they looked around and didn't see any young man, they thought they had heard wrongly.
But now seeing that the man spoke again and mentioned them, they were both shocked. They looked at each other and communicated with their eyes for a moment, but they only saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Ji Jinyou was just about to ask what happened to Yipin and Shen Guiren in the original plot, when the system spoke first in a slightly excited tone: [Youzi, there's something interesting going on, do you want to listen? ]
Upon hearing this tone, Emperor Wen Zhao's heart skipped a beat and his expression turned gloomy. He immediately felt that something bad was going to happen.
Ji Jinyou's eyes lit up, and she raised her head to look at Yipin and Shen Guiren who were sitting sideways facing her, and urged: "Tell us everything quickly."
Concubine Yi and Lady Shen had been warned by Emperor Wen Zhao beforehand, and although they were anxious and curious, they did not dare to move. They just sat there stiffly, not daring to look at the Ninth Princess.
The system said: [Youzi, didn’t you just ask me why you don’t remember them? It’s because a few months ago, Concubine Yi accidentally lost a child and has been recuperating in the palace for a while.]
Ji Jinyou said: [So that's the case, no wonder I didn't see her. But Concubine Yi is well-educated, so how come Noble Shen didn't see it? ]
System answer: [That's because Concubine Yi's child was accidentally knocked out by Noble Lady Shen, and she was demoted to a noble lady and confined to her room.]
When this happened, it was Emperor Wen Zhao who personally ordered the punishment of Shen Guiren, so he knew it very well. He thought that everyone in the palace knew about this, so logically, no one should be so excited.
Lady Shen thought of what happened that day, glanced at Concubine Yi's belly, and showed guilt on her face.
Concubine Yi didn't know why the man, who was either a human or a ghost, brought up this matter, but listening to his passionate tone and the word "good show" he had said before, she felt a little uneasy.
Ji Jinyou and Emperor Wen Zhao had the same confusion. Since Shen Guiren had been punished, it meant that the matter had become public and everyone knew about it. What a good show that would be.
The system did not wait for Youzi'er to ask further questions, and continued chattering: [But Youzi, do you know that Yipin's child is fake? ]
Emperor Wen Zhao was startled and looked at Concubine Yi coldly. He said that with Tong Tong's temper, this matter would definitely not be as simple as it seemed.
Who is this man? How does he know this? Concubine Yi was horrified, her face changed drastically, her eyes avoided, and she did not dare to look at Emperor Wen Zhao.
Shen Guiren was extremely shocked and stared at Yipin in amazement. She was puzzled and angry. If Yipin's child was fake, then she was wronged. No, no, no, she must have been framed.
Shen Guiren recalled the situation carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She said that she was walking just fine, but Yipin suddenly appeared from the corner of the palace wall, and she couldn't hide from him.
Obviously, she was not walking fast at that time, and the force of the two people's collision was not strong at all. She didn't understand why Concubine Yi fell so heavily to the ground and the child fell out like that.
At that time, His Majesty blamed her for being reckless. She wanted to defend herself, but the bitch Yipin took the initiative to say that the two of them bumped into each other accidentally and it was not her fault.
She was grateful to Concubine Yi for being so tolerant and generous even though she had lost her child. She was so moved that she forgot to explain the situation at that time, and the mistake was thus confirmed.
Although she had some doubts during the period of house arrest afterwards, she did not think much about it. She just thought that Concubine Yi's child was too fragile and it was her fault.
But no one would have expected that Concubine Yi's child was actually fake.
Lady Shen's eyes were blazing with anger. If His Majesty had not warned them not to act rashly in front of the Ninth Princess, she would have immediately knelt down and begged His Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly and give her justice.
Ji Jinyou was confused: [She was faking pregnancy, why? ]
System: [Because at that time, there was only one concubine left. Concubine Yi and Lady Shen were both Zhaoyi at the time. The two of them competed for this concubine position. They had similar family backgrounds and entered the palace at about the same time. Of course, whoever got pregnant first would be more competitive.]
[Yi Zhaoyi successfully ascended to the position of imperial concubine by faking her pregnancy, but her belly was getting bigger and she thought that she would be unable to hide it sooner or later, so she planned a miscarriage.]
Ji Jinyou: [Why didn't she just fake a fall? Why did she bump into Shen Guiren? ]
System: [Because Shen Guiren is more beautiful than her, she is jealous and wants to use this opportunity to step on Shen Guiren, so she successfully steps on Shen Zhaoyi and becomes Shen Guiren.]
When Concubine Yi saw that everything had been revealed, her face turned pale and she slumped in her chair.
When Lady Shen heard this, she thought there was no need to investigate. She loosened her clenched fists a little, turned her head and looked at Emperor Wen Zhao, her eyes aggrieved.
Emperor Wen Zhao glanced at the two women, his face still gloomy. The success of the concubine's fake pregnancy was not achieved by just talking, and the imperial physician must have contributed to it.
Ji Jinyou was also puzzled: [Shouldn't the imperial physician take the patient's pulse frequently? How come he didn't find it? ]
System: [There is a doctor named Ge in the Imperial Hospital. He is an old acquaintance of Yipin's father. He had received great kindness from Yipin's father in the early years. He wanted to repay the kindness. Yipin promised him that once she became a concubine, she would immediately find out about the matter and would never implicate him. That's why he risked his head to help Yipin.]
Hearing that Imperial Physician Ge was doing it to repay a favor and not for any other conspiracy, Emperor Wen Zhao's expression eased a little. But then he thought, if Concubine Yi was not faking a pregnancy, but asked Imperial Physician Ge for poison to harm others or even him, would Imperial Physician Ge also help? The corners of Emperor Wen Zhao's mouth sank again.
Ji Jinyou: [What about the end? How did it end? ]
The system knew what she was asking, and answered directly: [In the end, they all died. Many years later, the concubines died or were demoted. Concubine Yi gave birth to a princess and successfully filled the position of concubine. She became a little too proud of herself, and just because her personal maid made a small mistake, she severely punished her. The maid was disappointed, so she pretended to be careless and revealed the events of that year to the noble Shen, who was still a noble. The noble Shen secretly killed Concubine Yi, and the little princess was taken away by another concubine to be raised. Later, she fell ill and died.]
Hearing that she had killed someone, Shen Guiren's heart trembled, but he was also very happy. It turned out that she had taken revenge herself. However, if His Majesty knew that she would kill someone in the future, would he punish her?
Although there is a reason for every wrong, it is still a bad debt. Ji Jinyou sighed in his heart: [Alas, this broken harem is not good at all. ]
Ji Jinyou glanced at Emperor Wen Zhaoyou who was still making moves, and suddenly felt annoyed. He was too lazy to waste time with him any longer, so he raised his two chubby hands and shouted, "Youyou wins."
The little girl scattered the chess pieces everywhere, turned over and lay on the bed, put on her shoes, and bowed crookedly: "Father, Youyou has gone to play, Yu'er and my brother are still waiting for Youyou."
Emperor Wen Zhao smiled and waved his hand: "Go ahead."
Ji Jin walked leisurely with his short legs. As soon as he walked out of the Chongde Hall, he saw a row of little heads popping out of the courtyard gate. From bottom to top, they were the young prince, the seventeenth prince, the sixteenth prince, the fifteenth prince, and the fourteenth prince.
Ji Jinyou looked at the row of heads, chuckled, and ran over, "Here comes Youyou."
Seeing the chubby little girl rushing towards them like a ball, several little boys came out from the door and stood in a line, all wanting to catch her. Finally, the Fifteenth Prince, who was stronger, stepped forward and caught the little fat ball.
Several little princes reached out and touched their sister's head. Yu'er squeezed through the uncles and held Ji Jinyou's hand: "Aunt Xiaojiu, shall we go to the martial arts training ground?"
Ji Jinyou had never been to the martial arts training ground: "Why go there?"
The young master took off the small bow on his back and showed it proudly, "Aunt Xiaojiu, I said before that I would teach you archery. Did you forget?"
Previously, he had said that he not only wanted to teach his aunt Xiaojiu how to shoot arrows, but he also wanted to teach her how to read and how to ride a horse.
But he didn't know how Aunt Xiaojiu and that little Yao Elementary School proton learned characters so quickly. Every time he learned a few characters and happily ran to teach her, she had already known them. After repeated setbacks, he decided to give up teaching characters.
But Aunt Xiaojiu was too young to ride a horse, so the only thing left was archery. So he begged his fourth uncle to get him a small bow. He studied hard and practiced diligently recently, and yesterday he was finally able to pierce a scarecrow in five steps. So he couldn't wait to show it to Aunt Xiaojiu.
Ji Jinyou looked at her eldest nephew's eager eyes, and thought of the previous times when her eldest nephew came to teach her to read, and after finding out that she knew all the words, he got so angry that he ran away crying. She really couldn't bear to refuse him.
After all, it's just a matter of taking care of the child, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the martial arts training ground to watch Yu'er practice archery."
The young master jumped up with joy, holding the bow in one hand and holding Ji Jinyou's hand in the other, and walked excitedly towards the martial arts training ground.
The children, along with the palace maids and eunuchs, marched in a mighty procession toward the martial arts training ground in the imperial palace.
After they walked a distance away, Xue Yili, who had been hiding behind the bushes, came out with Cong An and also walked in that direction.
After hearing the sound of the children walking away, Emperor Wen Zhao put down his hand that had been pressing on his forehead, looked coldly at Concubine Yi and Concubine Shen who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me what kind of punishment you want."
