Chapter 40
Chu Huan slept well and got up early the next day. After breakfast, she took two walks.
Yesterday I was busy exploring tombs and digging for treasures, but today I finally have some time to check on the autumn hunt.
Students who aspire to enter the civil service through the military examinations ride horses and hunt in the paddocks, looking heroic and bringing back prey large and small, alive or dead, fully demonstrating their military prowess.
After the Chigua System 188 came out, I had only seen the text and pictures in the system. This was the first time I saw so many animals in reality. It was like a child going to the zoo for the first time. Everything was new to me.
[Wow—there's a rabbit! It's so cute and furry, I want to rub it!]
The system is just a virtual technological product. It can’t even be transformed into a physical entity. How can you touch the rabbit?
Chu Hua wasn't sure if the system would be upset, so she said in a coquettish voice, "Rabbit is so cute, it must be braised."
The system boasted: "How can one braised dish be enough? I want spicy, dry pot, stir-fried, pickled pepper, cold, boiled, and sauerkraut! I want them all!"
Chu Huan was amused. This little fool probably didn't have the code for sadness loaded. Jia Ziyin couldn't pretend anymore.
【You are so greedy, baby.】
system:! ! !
Being called "baby" so unexpectedly nearly burned out my CPU, and my rationality and baby voice went haywire: [What are you doing...?]
Chu Huan deliberately called out sweetly: [Baby?]
The system fell silent.
It suspected that it was being teased by the host, and it had evidence.
Chu Hua: [I won't tease you anymore. Let's continue visiting the zoo.]
The system recovered in a matter of minutes: [There are a lot of imprisoned animals here, including pheasants, deer, and bears. There are thirty-nine pheasants alone, and each one looks very lean.]
This man was a skilled archer, and with one arrow he struck the pheasant's eye and brain, piercing through it perfectly. The bird died quickly, leaving no damage to its fur.
This person's archery skills are quite poor. It takes two arrows to shoot a rabbit, one for the neck and one for the stomach. The rabbit is covered in blood and its fur is mostly damaged. What a waste.
Although Chu Huan was a novice at shooting and couldn't even hit a chicken laying eggs on the ground while riding a horse, she was good at talking about military strategy.
One by one, they discussed the students' prey and selected the top five archers with the best archery skills.
The autumn hunting lasted for three days. No one knew who the final winner was until the last moment. The two of them just chatted casually to pass the time.
After chatting for a while, I felt bored and immediately decided to eat some melon to cheer myself up.
In fact, the others had spent most of the day watching the autumn hunt yesterday out of curiosity, but today they got bored after watching for a while and kept looking at Chu Huan.
The system opens the sharing function: [Sister Huan, would you like to eat melon?]
Chu Hua: [Cha!]
Everyone instantly perked up, the melon is finally here, haha!
Even the emperor and his officials, who had been sleepless the previous night due to worries about the national treasury and the empty hands, became alert.
System: [Last time we talked about the ten green hats of the Xirong Emperor. Three were given to him as revenge by women who looked like the Dasheng Emperor, and six were given to him by the Empress who loved to have one beautiful man every day.]
[And what about the last green hat scene? It's quite shocking.]
Chu Hua was already tired of the cuckold meme, as the plot kept repeating itself over and over again. But when she heard the word "explosion," she immediately became interested: [Expand and tell me more!]
The emperor was the most excited one, because this was the green hat of the Xirong emperor!
He has been curious about the last cuckold for a long time, but unfortunately Chu Huan has never eaten the melon and has been thinking about him.
All the officials and female relatives could not help but move slowly towards Chu Huan's location for various reasons, like wild animals quietly moving forward in a melon field, with faint green light in their eyes.
That's a green hat for the emperor!
It would be a waste if you don’t eat it. You can savor it for the rest of your life, and when you are old you can brag to your juniors: I am also a great man who ate the emperor’s green hat melon and survived!
The system wasn't in a hurry to cut the melon, so it first explained the previous events to complete the logical chain: [When Wanyan Hong was still a prince, he hooked up with Shi Zhanjiao and received the general's support and help.]
[His mother was a foot-washing maid. Given his background and status, hooking up with powerful women was the cheapest and most effective way to do this. It's usually hard to stop once you've tasted the sweetness of this.]
As everyone listened, they thought: Why does this beginning sound so much like the Third Prince?
Chu Huan felt the same way: [The Third Prince is second.]
System: [It can be considered an enhanced and upgraded version. ]
After all, one was discovered to have failed in the process of rebellion, while the other had been on the throne for many years. This is the difference between the immature version and the mature and successful version.
System: [He first hooked up with older, wealthy, and powerful women.]
[This isn't meant to discriminate against women. The point is, if you want to become rich and powerful, without cheats or cheat codes, you'll need to manage your business for at least ten or twenty years.]
Before they had the vision and ability to start managing all of this, they would have had to learn for a dozen or twenty years, by which time they would have been at least 40 or 50 years old. This was a very normal description in ancient times when life expectancy was relatively low.
Chu Huan smiled: [Tong'er, you have a strong desire to survive.]
The system immediately became alert: [So you can't give me a bad review because of this. ]
Chu Hua: [No, don't worry, you can continue.]
Could she actually give a bad review?
Remember, you can threaten this little fool next time.
The system was relieved: [Scientific data proves that older women simply prefer younger men.]
[In order to meet the needs of different women, he can be salty or sweet, gentle or fierce, gentle or fierce. He has actually hooked up with many women and has established his own power.]
To ascend to the throne and become emperor, the support of both civil officials and military generals was indispensable. The military generals had generals and their allies. He had set his sights on the prime minister's most beloved granddaughter, Tu Shanlan.
Chu Huan: “…”
[Being favored by this rotten cucumber, the Prime Minister's granddaughter is truly unlucky for the rest of her life.]
Everyone: ???
Rotten cucumber? Is it the same as rotten cabbage?
[Who says it's not? Oh no!] The system sighed, [Tu Danlan has had a childhood sweetheart, and they've been engaged since they were little. They're very close, and the date has been set, so they're just waiting to get married.]
When Chu Huan heard the flag-filled opening and thought of the final cuckold, she knew that this pair of childhood sweethearts would definitely end in tragedy.
[My childhood sweetheart is dead? Most likely, Wanyan Hong killed him, right?]
System: [Yes, but not entirely correct.]
Chu Huan:?
Everyone: ? ?
System: [Wanyan Hong has turned himself into a prostitute in order to rise to power. He's sacrificed so much, so he definitely doesn't want to lose.]
[His years of experience in coaxing women had inflated his confidence. He created many chance encounters and even came to the rescue of the beautiful woman. However, Tu Danlan only had eyes for her childhood sweetheart and ignored him.]
Wanyan Hong was furious and roared, "You're shameless, don't blame me!" He then went to bed with the general's wife. Yes, it was Shi Zhanjiao's grandmother.
Chu Huan: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Chu Huan didn't understand and was greatly shocked: "Tong'er, I've seen photos of Shi Zhanjiao and know she's incredibly hot and beautiful. Her grandmother was most likely a lingering beauty, but..."
[After all, the grandmother was already in her fifties, right? Wanyan Hong was only in his teens at the time, right? Isn't this grandmother-grandson relationship a bit too far apart?]
and! !
This guy hooked up with someone's granddaughter, and then hooked up with the granddaughter's grandmother. After sleeping with the granddaughter, he slept with the grandmother. What is he trying to do?!
How can you be so careless?!
Aren’t you feeling uncomfortable at all?!
The emperor is numb.
If he had known it was such a cuckold, he would definitely not have been curious!
This unexpected incident of cuckolding made everyone present who could hear it, whether men or women, feel uncomfortable.
The system's reply arrived belatedly: [At that time, Wanyan Hong was seventeen years old, a young man in the prime of his life, while Shi Zhangjiao's grandmother was fifty-five, a little more than three times her age.]
When Chu Huan was thirty years old in her previous life, her mother was exactly fifty-five years old. She didn't have many white hairs or wrinkles, and was a southern beauty with a strong bookish air.
But fifty-five years old in ancient times... Her eccentric grandmother is fifty-seven years old this year, with wrinkles and age spots all over her face and a head full of white hair. She is an old lady who is very difficult to get along with.
Hiss—Wanyan Hong was too cruel to himself!
Such a person will either seek death and fail halfway, or become a local tyrant - obviously, he has succeeded.
Chu Huan said expressionlessly, "Even if you said Wan Yan Hong climbed into Shi Zhanjiao's mother's bed, I wouldn't be surprised."
Everyone: “…” That’s still a bit surprising.
This is a 17-year-old boy who single-handedly serves three generations of his family. Wouldn't it shock the world if this were spread out?!
At least there are no such shameless people in Dasheng!
The emperor was in a complicated mood. He was not very happy knowing that Wanyan Hong was so incompetent.
It was because they were both emperors, and Wanyan Hong had brought shame to his peers! He didn't even want to admit that he had such a colleague!
System: [That’s not the case.]
Chu Huan and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy hadn't gone so far.
Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the system change direction: [Shi Zhanjiao's mother died in childbirth, so she won't have that chance.]
Chu Huan: “…”
Everyone: “…”
If Shi Zhanjiao's mother hadn't died, would Wanyan Hong really want one man to serve three generations of his family? Ugh—
Chu Huan's face looked very ugly, as if she wanted to stop right there.
The system didn't want to share the spoils multiple times, so it quickly continued: [Wanyan Hong whispered in Shi Zhanjiao's ear, Shi Zhanjiao's grandmother whispered in her ear, and Tu Danlan's childhood sweetheart happened to be the general's sworn enemy, and the other general's grandson, so the childhood sweetheart, was thrown out to fight.]
[Wan Yanhong immediately abandoned his men at the border, and then conspired with the general to leak the border defense map, which delayed the rescue efforts. Zhu Ma's family all died there.]
Chu Huan laughed out loud in anger: [To eliminate dissidents, he actually chose to collaborate with the enemy and betray his country, killing countless border guards and civilians. What a piece of rubbish!]
[As long as he can become emperor, he can trample on human life, morality, and ethics at will, right?!]
Taking a deep breath, [I know the emperor would resort to many despicable means to kill a general who has achieved great success, but he's doing this... Damn it!]
This garbage made her, who grew up in a peaceful era, feel murderous.
Many generals at the scene felt a sense of sadness as if the rabbit had died and the fox had mourned the loss.
Even if the general who was framed and killed was from the Western Rong, there were few emperors who were not afraid of his achievements becoming too great and endangering the sovereignty of the emperor. More than a dozen highly respected generals had died in the previous dynasty. Who knew whether they had really died in battle or were killed by the emperor's despicable means?
The emperor was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
That was just a few emperors! I didn't do it! My dear ministers, don't be sad!
He wished that Dasheng had more powerful generals!
Otherwise, with the treasury so depleted, why did the late emperor and him insist on holding the Autumn Hunt every three years? Wasn't it to encourage the sons of noble families and the common people to learn martial arts and join the army?
The system rarely saw Chu Huan so angry, and it was so scared that it huddled up in a ball, not daring to show any anger, for fear of making her even angrier.
Chu Huan took a few deep breaths and silently repeated several times, "It's not worth fussing with garbage," "It's not worth getting breast nodules because of garbage," and "Sooner or later, I'll get rid of that garbage," and successfully calmed herself down.
[Tong'er, I'm not angry anymore, please continue.]
System: [Upon learning of her childhood sweetheart's death, Tudanlan quickly withered like a dying orchid. Wanyan Hong took advantage of the situation and stepped in, caring for her and accompanying her through the most difficult times.]
Tu Shanlan married Wanyan Hong. Three years later, her childhood sweetheart returned with half her face disfigured and her legs crippled. He was bent on revenge, but unable to find evidence due to his lack of resources, he begged Tu Shanlan for help.
Tu Shanlan has both love and regret for her childhood sweetheart, while her childhood sweetheart has both love and hate for Tu Shanlan, and hatred and jealousy towards Wanyan Hong. It's only natural that the two of them end up together.
After hearing this, I felt that I was almost cuckolded.
Chu Hua: [If you steal someone else's wife, you should be prepared to be cuckolded.]
The system echoed: [That's right! And there's a follow-up to this matter.]
Tu Shanlan gave birth to triplets, two princes and a princess. This caused quite a stir at the time, and people praised it as a blessing for the Xirong royal family for many years.
[In ancient times, the royal family was actually quite taboo about having twins, especially princes who looked exactly the same and could possibly inherit the throne. However, these two princes looked very different.]
Chu Hua: [Huh? Could it be?]
Everyone continued in their hearts: Could it be that those three children were childhood sweethearts?
The system chuckled: [Of the three children, only one is Wanyan Hong's. The other two are childhood sweethearts.]
Chu Hua: ???
Everyone: ???
Everyone fell back in shock. How did they do that?!
System: [Because that prince resembles Wanyan Hong and the princess resembles Tu Shanlan, he has no doubts even if the other prince doesn't look like him or Tu Shanlan.]
[After all, they were three children born from the same birth~]
The overly ebullient tone showed how much the system was gloating. Perhaps it couldn't stand Wanyan Hong being so incompetent.
Chu Huan: [Calculating the time, the prince who least resembled Wanyan Hong has already grown into a young man. However, Wanyan Hong confirmed that his childhood sweetheart was dead, so the prince only resembled his childhood sweetheart, not exactly the same.]
Even if Zhu Ma was still alive, his adultery with Tu Shanlan had been discovered, and Zhu Ma's face had been disfigured, Wan Yanhong, looking at the prince who looked so much like him, had no way to verify his suspicions.
After all, the ancient method of identifying relatives by dripping blood and bones was unreliable, and he was ignorant of modern physiological and medical knowledge. He probably would never know in his lifetime that two of the world-famous triplets were not his own, and he was still gloating over it.
Everyone: ???
Everyone:!!!
Wait, neither blood nor bone dripping methods of identifying relatives are reliable?
The Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court were both annoyed.
As early as when they confirmed that the Third Prince was a remnant of the previous dynasty, they vaguely felt that something had been done when the Third Prince's blood recognition was entered into the royal jade book. They also secretly investigated relevant people but found no clues.
But they never expected that it was not a question of whether there was any tampering, nor was it a question of the opponent's sophisticated methods making it difficult to detect, but the fact that the blood test itself was not working!
In this case, what will happen to the people who rely on blood test to identify their relatives?
What should they do with the parent-child relationship that was determined through blood and bone testing after so many years?
The system nodded repeatedly: [Yes, currently the most reliable method is paternity testing.]
Everyone was anxious: "Hurry up and tell us more! Dasheng should also quickly get one to use!"
Chu Hua: [What a pity, I don’t know how.]
Everyone was choked with anger. "You don't know? How could you not know?"
You can even make cowpox to prevent smallpox, penicillin to treat syphilis, and quinine to treat malaria, so why can't you do paternity testing?!
The emperor himself is fine, but judging by Chu Huan's interest in his cuckoldry, if there were any other prince or princess who was not his biological child, he would have been happily enjoying the fun.
This can be used as reverse proof: the five sons and three daughters are all his biological children!
The others, mainly the men, were a little uneasy.
There is no other way to prove whether the child is yours, which is very detrimental to the harmony between husband and wife and family harmony.
Many women's eyes flickered and they were extremely frightened.
If they can give birth to two children from different men in one pregnancy, how can they tell whose the child is?
Just when they were in a state of panic, Chu Huan suddenly said, "It's not that there's no solution."
The system couldn't figure it out: [Look at your face? It's very limited in use.]
Everyone's breath was lifted again.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't you still exist?"
The system suddenly realized: [That's right! I can eat the green hat's melon and use it to determine whether it is my biological child.]
Everyone: “…”
If I hadn't been sure that this person didn't know they could hear me, I would have thought they were working together to tease them :)
Furthermore...
The melon-eating system can determine whether a child is a biological child, but Chu Huan will not always eat cuckold melons. They do not have the right to actively choose, and they will be exposed if they try too much.
Moreover, the system can only exist in Dasheng while Chu Huan is alive, which is a few decades at most.
What will happen after Chu Huan dies?
Never mind, there are still decades to figure it out.
Before that, it is better to send more people to protect Chu Huan, so that she will not be assassinated by someone in a fit of rage.
Otherwise, why not try to find her some elixir of life, detoxification pills, or immunity pills?
This girl is so good at causing trouble, from Dasheng to Xirong, from officials to the emperor. They are really worried about her!
