Chapter 437 Are you collecting stamps here?
It's out of reach, so I can only wait.
Chu Liuzheng was looking forward to good news every day, and he would check the system whenever he had free time, but who would have thought...
Ahhh!!! Prince Xiao is ill, so please don't act rashly!!!"
[One goes and one goes in, one goes and one goes in, where are you guys sitting here trying to save Grandpa?]
[Well, we've finally had four happy events for the City Lord's Mansion. We now have male concubines for the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth rooms! !]
Chu Liuzheng stared at the system interface speechlessly. He really couldn't understand why Pei Yunjian, Ren Qingxia and Yan Chengtao had such low IQs. They went to the tiger den knowing there was a tiger there. Couldn't they ask King Xiao for permission before taking action?
Now, not only is her eldest brother trapped in the City Lord's Mansion and unable to get out, but these three are also locked up, and they can even form a mahjong table.
Chu Liuzheng closed the system tiredly and stole a glance at the emperor who was concentrating on reviewing memorials.
[The pigeon will arrive this afternoon. I'm not taking any chances. I'll wait for the Tyrant to read it himself this afternoon.]
She brought over the peeled grapes and took out a travelogue, pretending to read it intently while searching the system for information related to Guiyun City.
She has read a lot in the past two days, but she is always worried that she has missed something, so she reads it whenever she has time.
Although Guiyun City is only a small city, its status in Dasheng is very special. It is somewhat like Yuecheng, which is independent and not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Everything in Guiyun City is managed by the City Lord, who is elected and only those with both talent and virtue are qualified. It's more like a country within a country than a city.
Why is Guiyun City so special?
This brings us to the tragic past of the previous emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty, Emperor Shouchang.
[Tsk tsk, the Shouchang Emperor's experiences could be filmed in a Shouchang Secret Visits series. He's on a secret visit, and he's fallen in love with a commoner woman at first sight, forcing her to break off her engagement and enter the palace to serve him, threatening to kill her entire family if she refuses. Is he forcing her to love you or hate you?]
Xiao Jingfan silently slowed down the pace of reviewing memorials, multitasking and listening to the gossip of his ancestors.
After entering the palace with Emperor Shouchang, Miss Yingying was pampered for two years and gradually developed feelings for him. Their sweet and affectionate relationship earned her a lot of hatred from the harem.
If she had always been favored, it would have been fine, but Emperor Shouchang isn't one to hold onto love. Once the novelty wore off, he forgot about her. He didn't even bother to check on her when he heard she was pregnant... Hmm? After all, it's his son, so why are you so disregarding him?
Chu Liuzheng flipped through the reasons and let out a long "Oh" in his heart.
[No wonder they didn't take it seriously. Emperor Shouchang was already thirty-six at the time, and he certainly had no shortage of children. Miss Yingying's pregnancy was the icing on the cake; it didn't matter whether she had one or not.]
[Tsk tsk, this disgraced concubine's life in the harem was not easy. Not long after, Miss Yingying suffered a miscarriage. Well, now Emperor Shouchang has remembered her kindness and is showing some concern for her.]
Miss Yingying was disillusioned with Emperor Shouchang because he was not there when she needed him most. After losing her unborn child, she hated him even more. She blamed him for forcing her into the palace without cherishing her, and hated him for indirectly killing their child. She wanted nothing to do with him.
[Isn't that why men are just cheap? When they're nice to someone, they treat them like trash, completely forgetting they even have a partner in their harem. But when they're cold, they eagerly approach and ask about their well-being.]
Xiao Jingfan, who felt like an arrow had hit his knee, said: "..."
He put the approved memorial aside, stood up, walked to Chu Liuzheng's side, sat down, and held him in his arms.
Chu Liuzheng casually fed the last grape into his mouth, then turned and asked, "Have you finished reviewing the memorials?"
"Rest for a while." Xiao Jingfan lowered his head and buried it in the crook of her neck. He smelled a delicate orchid fragrance on the tip of his nose and couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Why did you change the perfume powder?"
"The previous ones are all used up, so Miyue grabbed a can from the cabinet." Chu Liuzheng wiped the grape juice off his fingertips with a handkerchief and asked casually, "Doesn't it smell bad?"
Xiao Jingfan didn't say yes or no. He rubbed his nose against her neck and gently kissed her twice.
Chu Liuzheng felt itchy and reached out to push him away. "If you don't like it, I'll change it back."
She thought they all smelled good, and it didn't matter which one she applied. She didn't mind satisfying the emperor with these little things.
Xiao Jingfan then said, "Change it back."
"Okay." Chu Liuzheng agreed and nudged him again. "There are still quite a few memorials left. You have to summon three adults this afternoon. If you don't approve more this morning, you'll have to stay up late tonight. I won't wait for you."
"How audacious." Xiao Jingfan scolded with a smile, and hugged the person for a while before letting go. He returned to the desk and continued to review memorials.
Zhou Yuande then came in to change the tea and gave Chu Liuzheng a plate of peeled grapes.
Although the grapes were sweet and juicy, Chu Liuzheng didn't dare eat too much, thinking that she would have lunch soon. She reopened the system and continued to read the gossip about Emperor Shouchang.
Under Emperor Shouchang's warm regard, Miss Yingying's attitude softened slightly... Uh, no, she only remembers food but not punishment? Could she have rekindled her old ways so easily?
Chu Liuzheng blinked his eyes, feeling that this Yingying girl was too easy to coax.
[At least Na Na Qiao, how could he possibly cherish her if he lets Emperor Shouchang succeed like this? What if he gets tired of her soon and finds someone new?]
She continued to read.
[Good fellow, please call me a prophet! This bastard emperor has actually returned to his old ways. Just a secret visit, and he brought back another commoner girl.]
Dog Emperor?
Xiao Jingfan paused, thinking for a moment. He realized he wasn't being scolded. Emperor Shouchang had been buried for years, so he probably wouldn't bother with a little girl, right? So he continued to review the memorials with a single-minded focus.
[There's Yingying, Yiyi, and Qianqian, who died suddenly before them. They were all brought back from the common people. Did Emperor Shouchang have some kind of incognito mission to bring back a commoner woman? And their names are so similar. Is he collecting stamps here?]
Chu Liuzheng took a sip of tea and briefly flipped through the story of Miss Yiyi.
[Tsk tsk, if Miss Yingying is a genuine, pure little white flower, then this Miss Yiyi is a pretentious little green tea. She manipulates Emperor Shouchang with all sorts of tricks, making the women in the harem itch with hatred. They use all sorts of tricks on him, but Miss Yiyi dodges them all.]
[This Miss Yiyi has adapted well to harem life. Is she really just an ordinary commoner? Someone must have specially trained her to be given to Emperor Shouchang... Wow, what was I saying? She was indeed specially trained! Miss Yiyi was actually sent to Emperor Shouchang by Miss Yingying's ex-fiancé, Brother Qi!]
[Eh? That's not right. Isn't Brother Qi a penniless apprentice at a blacksmith shop, with both his parents dead? How did he know the Emperor's whereabouts? And he even sent people to the Emperor. Where does his ability come from?]
