Chapter 68 The Emperor Was Actually Like This
System: [Ha, Ah Ruan, do you know why the emperor only wants gentle, considerate, well-educated and well-mannered concubines? ]
The Queen and Concubine De looked up curiously at the same time.
There were many beauties in the emperor's harem, but there was one very strange thing: no matter what the concubines looked like, they were all gentle and taciturn. People inside and outside the palace had been madly wondering if the emperor had a gentle white moonlight that he could never get.
The emperor's pupils shrank. Wait, I don't want this melon!
Yuan Ruan: [Don't keep me in suspense! ]
System: [This melon is related to your brother and the queen when they were young! ]
The emperor supported his forehead, and it was indeed this.
He subconsciously looked at the queen, and indeed saw that she looked confused.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he no longer looked at the queen.
Yuan Ruan: [Wow, could it be that the emperor and empress are childhood sweethearts? I don’t know why I suddenly thought of Lan Yin Xu Guo…]
System: [No, no, no, these two relationships are different from the TV dramas you watch. It's like this, when your brother was a teenager, he often left the people who protected him and sneaked out to play. As a result, when he went out to play, he accidentally sneaked into the spring festival site of a foreign country. It was so chaotic.]
The queen was suddenly startled, turned her head and looked the emperor up and down.
Concubine De couldn't help but look at the emperor.
The emperor pretended to be serious and shook his head at the two concubines with gritted teeth.
Yuan Ruan was confused: [Ah? Why is it so chaotic? ]
System: [Oops, I forgot to tell you about the folk customs here. First of all, I have to state that although the Xia Kingdom is in ancient times, the customs and sexuality are very open. Both men and women can go out, and it is common for widows to remarry. They also retain a custom in the Book of Songs, that is, if a man and a woman are attracted to each other, they can be husband and wife for one night.]
Yuan Ruan: [Ahem…Is this so unrestrained?!]
System: [Yes. Or can the actors arranged by the Second Prince seduce me? Oh, I've strayed too far. The foreign spring festival is even wilder. You know, in the spring when everything comes back to life, they will drink wine to cheer each other up, and if they like each other, they will have sex outdoors.]
Yuan Ruan was dumbfounded, and covered her chubby cheeks with her hands: [What?! This, this...hiss, what happened to that brother here?]
The Queen and Consort De:!!!
Once again, the two of them couldn't help but steal a glance at the emperor.
The emperor clenched his fists, his eyes firm, and shook his head slightly again.
System: [Not that... but it was almost there. Your brother was young at the time and didn't know that the foreign spring festival had such wild customs. When he was toasted, he drank happily. Then he was hugged by several strong foreign women. Fortunately, although they were open-minded, they didn't rape him. These foreign women showed off their bodies in front of the young emperor. The young emperor was stubborn! He refused to obey and held back even with sweat all over his face.]
The queen covered her mouth and smiled, then nodded subconsciously, but the emperor gently pinched her wrist.
Defei was smiling originally, but when she saw this, the curve of her lips flattened.
Yuan Ruan: [What happened next? Did the young queen come and the two of them started to have an affair? ]
The emperor and the empress' mouths twitched at the same time, and they wanted to pinch her. What the hell is this kid thinking! How could they do such a thing during a spring festival?
System: [No. The young queen happened to be passing by on her way down the mountain, and seeing how pitiful the young emperor was, she asked the guards around her to rescue him. It was definitely a case of a beauty saving a hero.]
The queen looked at the emperor in surprise and almost blurted out "It's you?"
The emperor turned his eyes away and didn't look at the queen.
De Fei lowered her head even more and clenched her teeth. She was so kind to him. No wonder His Majesty was so tolerant of the Empress, never caring about her lazy nature, and never hitting her in the face even when he was furious.
Yuan Ruan: [Ah, haha, so my brother once had an affair with the queen...haha, I guess my brother has a psychological shadow on this bold woman, is there anything else?]
System: [I'll look for it again. The vine between the emperor and the empress is quite long.]
Emperor and Empress: !!!
No no no, don't go on!
Concubine De was even more anxious than the Emperor and Empress, fearing that the system would reveal more gossip that would escalate the relationship between the Emperor and Empress.
She also became more determined to hope that another powerful Taoist priest would come along to share power and favor with her.
So she deliberately opened the box.
Sure enough, this move caught the emperor's attention.
The emperor asked, "De Fei, what are you doing? Let me see."
De Fei paused, handed over the silk cloth on the first layer of the cake box, and whispered: "Your Majesty, my father said that a powerful Taoist priest came to visit our family. I think if I have real talent and knowledge, I can also become an assistant to the young imperial teacher."
The emperor took the silk cloth and glanced at it. There were not many sentences on it, but it also briefly described the matter of the "pregnant woman with the son of the god."
The emperor sneered. He didn't expect that this Taoist priest had some connections and could actually persuade his concubines.
He was about to say no, but Yuan Ruan's voice came out unexpectedly:
[Wow. Ancient Taoist priests? Can they fly? Do they have martial arts secrets? After all, this is a fictional world, so maybe there are some weird settings?]
System: [Hiss, don’t say that! Really don’t say that! Even if you use yourself as an example, I’m not sure about that.]
Yuanruan: [Very interested.]
The emperor hesitated, thinking that he had already found out why the other party just wanted to fish. And since Yuanruan was interested, it was a good opportunity for him to take a look at the composition of the Dragon and Tiger Dojo.
The emperor then changed the subject and said, "Okay. Ask him to come back to the palace in an hour."
Concubine De hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
…
An hour later, Taoist Zhou walked to the side hall with confident steps.
At this time, the emperor, the crown prince, the three dukes, and the six ministers were sitting upright in the hall.
Yuan Ruan yawned, lay in the prince's arms, and looked at Taoist Zhou with burning eyes.
Taoist Zhou noticed Yuan Ruan at the first moment, but turned his head away with contempt, then looked around pretending to be nonchalant, trying to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, after looking around, I didn't see anyone else who looked like a Taoist priest.
Taoist Zhou sneered, "Still hiding? I'll show you my real skills and force you out."
The prince spoke first: "You said that the pregnant woman was carrying the Son of God. What evidence do you have?"
Taoist Zhou said: "Your Highness, because the Son of God had Yin and Yang eyes in the mother's womb, he could control objects and kill ghosts from a distance."
Everyone was stunned. Telekinesis, Yin-Yang eyes, and the art of killing ghosts?
Even Yuanruan poked his head out curiously. It sounded very professional!
Taoist Zhou motioned the blindfolded pregnant woman to come forward.
Taoist Master Zhou was reciting some words while shaking a bell with his left hand and making hand gestures with his right hand. The lit stove was emitting green smoke. Suddenly, the pregnant woman started crying out in pain, holding her belly.
Yuanruan: [Ah, is she about to give birth? Who will deliver the baby?]
The court officials were already feeling a little nervous due to the tense atmosphere, and they almost burst out laughing when they heard this.
At this time, Taoist Zhou suddenly said, "He saw it!" He suddenly pointed in the direction of Yuanruan, closed his eyes and said confidently, "Ah, the Son of God told me, and I saw it too. I saw that on her... there was a shadow behind the scenes! Ah, that shadow followed her everywhere, her body was not one person, but two. It can be driven away, it can be driven away!"
The court officials were stunned.
The emperor frowned slightly, this mysterious look brought back unpleasant memories.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded:
System: [Wow, host, I just clicked on this person's melon, and it says here that Taoist Zhou once found a kidnapped child based on the hexagrams. Hiss... This person seems to be really talented, quite awesome! ]
Emperor and courtiers: !!!
What? The system says that the other party is awesome?
Could it be possible to see the true identity of the system and the small country's destiny?
The emperor immediately waved his hand implicitly.
The palace guard drew out half of his sharp sword, locked his eyes on Taoist Zhou, and was ready to attack at any time.
At this time, Taoist Zhou suddenly pulled out a chess box from his arms, and then pulled out a long black flag from his sleeve.
The other person had a solemn expression and made gestures with his fingers, which looked like he was about to use a big move.
