Chapter 932: A New Member Finally Enters the Harem
Ling Yun smiled and took Su Nuan's hand, "In our bedroom."
Su Nuan was stunned. A sleeping palace? Even though the palace there was big enough, it couldn't be used as a national treasury, right?
Shouldn't the treasury have three floors on the left and three floors on the right? Could there be a cellar there?
Su Nuan asked doubtfully, "Did you dig a basement?"
Ling Yun laughed, "No, the foundation here can't be dug randomly."
After saying that, he pointed to the ground and said, "I checked below. There is a very hard steel plate three feet deep. I don't know how thick it is."
"The foundation of the house has a solid frame welded to the steel plate, so there is no need to worry about the house being unstable."
Su Nuan sighed, "Everything is good now, except that it's too desolate."
Both of them had observed the imperial city from the air. It was a lonely city standing in the wilderness, giving people a lifeless feeling.
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Some things can't be rushed. The surrounding construction cannot be completed in a day or two."
Su Nuan also knew that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but the rest of her life is long, and she will eventually see the day of prosperity.
Ling Yun took out a scroll and unfolded it, "Look, the dock here is almost finished."
Su Nuan looked over curiously. The scroll showed a beautiful dock, and the road from the dock extended into a neatly arranged city.
Because it is near the sea, the houses in the city are all two-story buildings, and there are no particularly tall buildings.
There is also a lighthouse on the beach. Although Su Nuan doesn't know what material the lighthouse is made of, she knows that the lighthouse can withstand any strong wind.
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Su Xia and the others are staying at Sifang Pier and won't be back. I think they really like the life by the sea."
Su Nuan nodded. She felt a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in her heart, because she was worthy of those who were good to her.
Of course, she also hopes to see those who treat her badly die or change.
But from now on, she can only focus on giving birth and raising these four little ones.
Time passed quickly. That day, Su Nuan was basking in the sun in the palace.
Hong Jie, who is the Imperial Noble Consort, and Lu Bayue, who is the Noble Consort, come to visit.
Su Nuan looked at Lu Bayue's belly. She was already pregnant and had become rounder.
Lu Bayue stared at Su Nuan for a long time and said sullenly, "You are too selfish."
Su Nuan asked in confusion: "Me? What do you mean?"
Lu Bayue pointed at Su Nuan's belly and said, "Look, your belly is so big, but you are not fat at all."
"Look at me, my belly is bigger, but my body is fatter too. There must be some method you haven't told me."
Su Nuan looked at Lu Bayue with disdain, "I'm pregnant with four children. I need to eat eight meals a day, small and frequent."
"You're pregnant, you're eating eight meals a day, and you're so full every time you eat, if you don't get fat, who will?"
Lu Bayue sat down angrily, and the palace maid brought in tea.
Sister Hong leaned lazily on the chair and said, "Is the baby coming soon? I'm looking forward to holding my son."
After a pause, she asked again: "Have you decided?"
Su Nuan felt her brain was slow now. She couldn't make any sense out of what she heard and couldn't guess what Sister Hong was thinking.
Seeing Su Nuan's bewildered eyes, Sister Hong asked again, "If you are pregnant with a boy, will you keep him as the successor to the emperor?"
Su Nuan let out a cry, her expression a little dazed.
To be honest, she had never thought about this, let alone leaving a child to be emperor.
After all, they are all her own children. She can't take three of them out and leave one alone.
Sister Hong sighed, "It seems you haven't thought about it, but I see that your family isn't the type to keep the business. Are you planning to give up the throne?"
Su Nuan really doesn’t think the throne is important, but the traditional way of inheritance cannot be disrespected.
After all, people nowadays have limited knowledge and don’t understand what it means to truly step down and let others take over.
If the surnames were really swapped, it would probably cause unrest.
Su Nuan was silent and depressed. Perhaps she would have to wait for another ten years before traveling around the world.
Lu Bayue never stopped talking after he sat down, and he almost ate up all the snacks on the table.
She took a sip of the flower tea and said, "Don't think too much. We need to solve the big problem right now."
Su Nuan asked, "What trouble?"
Lu Bayue chuckled, "There's a new person in the harem."
Su Nuan looked at Sister Hong and said, "Who is it? Just make arrangements for the newcomer."
Sister Hong smiled and said, "The daughter of Sanyang City, her mother is the mayor of the city."
Su Nuan had never heard of Sanyo City and asked, "Where is it located?"
Sister Hong said, "It's on the coast. It only takes half a day to get there by steamer from the dock."
"Women are in charge there, and this city is not under the jurisdiction of Yuan Nation."
Su Nuan exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Which country is in charge of that?"
Sister Hong took out a scroll and threw it to Su Nuan, "You'll know after you take a look."
Su Nuan raised her hand to take it. She unfolded the scroll, which showed a top view of a city and the history of the city’s development recorded at the back.
"Oh, it seems that the dog emperor of Yuan Kingdom doesn't know that his officials have already rebelled."
"However, these cities have been able to survive without the eyes of the dog emperor. The city lord must be a capable person."
Sister Hong nodded. "The information I have is that Sanyang City was originally a tribe. Later, the city lord built the city, and now it's developing quite well."
"It can be said that under the leadership of the city lord, they can all have enough food and clothing, and they can live well even without a country to rely on."
Su Nuan became even more curious, "Then why did they marry their daughter here?"
Sister Hong played with her nails and answered nonchalantly, "There are fewer and fewer men there, so they need to intermarry, otherwise the population will be gone in a hundred years."
"Another point is that the people there are arrogant and proud. One woman can marry several men. The city lord feels that if this continues for a long time, the women's minds will become corrupted."
Su Nuan took out various snacks from the space and placed them on the table, waiting to listen to Sister Hong's long speech.
Seeing her putting on a show, Sister Hong immediately said in dissatisfaction, "Are you waiting to hear a storyteller? No, I won't tell you if there's no benefit."
Su Nuan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "If you don't tell me, how can I know? At worst, I can just go and take a look around myself."
Sister Hong glanced at Su Nuan's belly and said awkwardly, "Forget it, you're about to give birth, so you'd better stay put and don't run around."
After a pause, she said angrily, "I'm worried that you'll abandon my son to another place, not that I'm worried about you."
Su Nuancai didn't care about her words and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them.
Lu Bayue smacked his lips and begged, "Give me some sunflower seeds, just a handful."
Although they treat Su Nuan like real sisters in private, they will never take anything that Su Nuan doesn't give to them.
For example, the snacks on Su Nuan’s desk, although they are of small value, are subject to rules.
