The night is silent.
Zhou Beichen was sleeping on the bed when suddenly, a woman fell from the sky with a thud.
Today, the battle on the northwest border was won, and he was happy, so he held a banquet for his ministers. He drank too much and his consciousness was hazy. He looked at the woman who fell from the hole in the roof. Similarly, the woman's eyes were also blurred, as if she had drunk a lot of wine. In her confusion and passion, she was like a jackal, a tiger or a leopard, and the two of them were in the animal world.
The next day.
The tyrant found the woman lying beside him, and looked at his disheveled body. He was immediately furious. This woman dared to insult the king and even forced him to have sex. So, he waved his hand and ordered the palace servants to send the woman to the cold palace with a tattered quilt while the woman was still fast asleep.
The news was immediately blocked, and anyone who violated the rules in the entire palace would be beaten to death.
......
The tenth year of the Red Moon.
Sitting on the dragon throne was a handsome, majestic and domineering man in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a murderous aura all over his body.
Zhou Beichen is twenty-seven years old this year. There are not many concubines in his harem, only ten. However, no matter how many times he favors them, they just can't have children.
It has been ten years, he has been on the throne for a full ten years, and there is still no offspring.
If this continues, what will happen to his kingdom of Da Chiyue?
On the contrary, his half-brother Zhou Beian already has ten sons and is about to have a large family.
It really makes him angry.
"Tell me, I almost always go to the harem once a night, so why can't the concubines in the harem have children?"
Zhou Beichen became more and more angry and aggrieved the more he thought about it. He thought about how he had conquered the six kingdoms at the age of seventeen and ascended the throne for the first time. At the age of twenty, he had expanded the territory of Chiyue to its largest. At the age of twenty-one, no country dared to invade.
She has been able to call the wind and rain for half her life and do everything, so why can't she have a child?
In the past few years, he was not anxious, but in recent years, he has become more and more anxious.
Seeing that his ministers were all acting like cowards, Zhou Beichen became even more furious.
“Bang!”
He slapped the table with one hand, and the tabletop shook three times.
"Why don't you all speak up? You're all so dumb. When it comes to national affairs, don't you all love to offer your opinions?"
Zhou Beichen was worthy of being called a tyrant in the eyes of officials and a wise ruler in the eyes of the people. With just one sentence, he frightened all the ministers below so much that they all knelt down in unison with sad faces.
"I am guilty, I am incompetent, I deserve death! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Forgive me! Forgive me, you big-headed devil!"
Zhou Beichen was furious and shouted again, "You are all useless. If you can't come up with a solution today, I will gouge out one eye from each of you."
Now, everyone was trembling even more. What bad luck had befallen them?
If you don't do it yourself, what can they do?
Zhou Beichen's eyes scanned downwards one by one, scorching the officials and making their hearts go wild with enthusiasm.
"If you can't come up with a solution within a quarter of an hour, drag them all out and gouge out their eyes!"
The officials were all terrified. The tyrant before them was definitely capable of doing such a thing. They even believed that if it weren't for the desire to keep them working, he probably wouldn't want to spare a single eye for them.
Perhaps the minister did not dare to tell the truth, so Zhou Beichen added another sentence at the end.
"Today, you can speak freely. I will not blame you no matter what."
With these words, the ministers finally felt reassured.
"Otherwise, I will resign and seek out famous doctors throughout the world to cure your impotence."
What an impotence! His Majesty the Emperor's face is about to be torn apart.
But he tried his best to hold it in. Although he was obviously in great turmoil in his heart, on the surface he still acted as if he was making a point.
The other ministers looked at his expression and became bolder.
"I believe that although the Emperor is wise and powerful, he caused too much slaughter when he ascended the throne. Perhaps it's heaven's punishment that the Emperor can't have children. Perhaps it's heaven's will to destroy my descendants, the Great Red Moon."
"I, your Majesty, should go to Lingyin Temple and pray for forgiveness of your mistakes and for a son or daughter."
“…”
The noisy chatter in the hall gave Zhou Beichen a headache.
Just when Zhou Beichen was having a headache because of the quarrel among the ministers in the Golden Palace, a surprising scene happened outside the Golden Palace.
Outside the main hall, in a most inconspicuous corner, stood a round-shaped figure and a man in black.
The man in black stretched out his little finger, and Yuantuanzi blinked his starry eyes, and hooked his two little fingers together.
"Nuannuan, come on! Work hard!"
Yuantuanzi walked up to her and gave her a big hug.
"If you poop, you have to fart. Nuannuan will find that thing of Daddy's."
Man in black: “…”
Then, an even more surprising scene happened.
“Huff huff!”
“Huff, huff, huff!”
“Hmph!”
After climbing only three flights of stone steps, Zhou Zhaonuan was already sweating profusely. He could no longer walk, so he sat down on the steps and looked up. The big words "Golden Throne Hall" lay across the two dragon heads, looking very majestic and domineering.
The little girl was almost blinded by the big golden characters. Although she didn't recognize them, as soon as she saw them, she felt that they were extraordinary, majestic and domineering, just as her mother said.
The guards guarding the entrance of the hall saw from afar a small ant on the ninety-nine stone steps, crawling upwards like a caterpillar.
I burst out laughing.
The guards at the door looked at each other and felt it necessary to tell Zhou Beichen, but reason told them that they could not go in at this time.
"I'm so tired. Why does mother treat Nuannuan like this? Why does she have to let Nuannuan come to find that...that..."
Zhou Zhaonuan, who was only four years old, tried hard to recall what her mother had said to her. What did her mother ask her to find?
"Oh, right!"
The little dumpling clapped his hands and shouted excitedly.
"My mother told me to go find the thing I should call dad. What the hell is that thing? My mother also told me that if I could please that thing and say I was his offspring, his legitimate child, he would treat me well and give me lots of good things, like beautiful clothes and delicious food."
From that moment on, Zhou Zhaonuan decided that for the sake of her bright future...eating, drinking and having fun, she would attack that thing.
But... Zhou Zhaonuan looked up. Such high stone steps would be too tiring.
In the hall, a group of ministers talked for two quarters of an hour but could not come to a conclusion. Zhou Beichen slammed the table fiercely.
"Alright, alright, you bunch of rubbish, stop talking. If you continue talking like this, I'm afraid I'll really be extinct."
