Yan Muxi said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, elder sister! You three can stay in the island owner's mansion peacefully, don't even think about moving out in the future."

Yu Jintang's physical condition is too weak, and he needs to take good care of himself to survive past the age of forty. It is impossible for him to support his family like a normal man.

Yan Muqing smiled and shook her head, "Even brothers have to settle accounts, let alone sisters who are already married. Even if my family wants to take advantage of the second sister, there must be a limit. When Kang Kang gets married in the future, I don't want to be treated as a parasite by my nephew's wife."

"Big sister, you think too much. I actually hope that Kang Kang can stay on the island, get married, have children and live a stable life. Unfortunately, it's impossible!" Yan Muxi said helplessly.

Yan Muqing took a moment to react before she understood what Yan Muxi meant. "Could it be that Second Sister is planning to send Kang Kang back to Luodu?"

Yan Muxi brought Qian Manman to Huadao, and Yan Muqing thought that she didn't want to be involved with imperial power anymore.

"It's not that I want to, it's that I have no choice!" Yan Muxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Kang Kang is the son of Yu Wantai and the only male among the royal descendants of the Yu family. If the imperial power is not to fall into the hands of others, Kang Kang must inherit the throne.

Yan Muqing didn't understand, "Why is there no choice? Yu Wantai is still so young. Without the villain's mischief, he will definitely not lack offspring."

"Big sister doesn't understand. Yu Wantai will not have any other offspring. He, he once stayed in the Tianji Pavilion of Beiyue for two years."

"Tianji Pavilion? Aren't all the people in Tianji Pavilion of Beiyue eunuchs?" Yan Muqing was full of surprise.

Seeing Yan Muxi nod in agreement, Yan Muqing was even more surprised, "Could it be that my second sister is mistaken? Can eunuchs grow beards?"

A few days ago, Yan Muching met Yu Wantai once. He had a solemn and murderous aura, and was extremely masculine, especially with his big beard. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like a effeminate eunuch at all!

This time it was Yan Muxi's turn to be surprised, his mouth and eyes opened equally wide.

Why didn't she think of this before? Eunuchs don't seem to have beards!

However, Yu Wantai's case was special. He was older when he was castrated and it is possible that he still grew a beard.

"Big sister, please walk around the mansion by yourself. I'll go to the outer courtyard and will be back soon." As Yan Muxi said this, he ran out of the house.

After finding Jin Chun and confirming that eunuchs' beard growth would be affected even if they were old, and even if it grew, it would fall off, Yan Muxi was even more confused.

She couldn't figure out, was Yu Wantai a fake eunuch, or did he put a fake beard on his face to hide his identity?

If Yu Wantai was just a fake eunuch, wouldn't there be another election to fill the harem? If Yu Wantai had other women and children, wouldn't he have to go through another brutal succession struggle in a few years? If that happened, her children would most likely be dragged into the struggle for imperial power, unless they could hide on Flower Island for the rest of their lives.

Yan Muxi was troubled for two days, and then she stopped worrying about it. Life on the island was so happy that she didn't have the energy to think about the troubles.

Several children have already started to learn to read. They have to attend two hours of classes every day, one hour for reading and writing, and the other hour for learning various skills.

There are twelve hours in a day, and except for the two fixed hours, the kids can use the rest of the time for fun.

Whenever Yan Muxi has time, he takes the little ones out to play. Together with Qian Manman and Yan Muqing and his wife, they go up the mountains to catch fish and have a great time every day.

Unlike the relaxed and comfortable people on Huadao Island, Yu Wantai in Luodu City was so busy that he forgot to eat and sleep every day, making final preparations for his enthronement.

Under the tearful pleas of all his ministers, Yu Wantai ascended the throne on the sixth day of June and changed the reign title to Xi'an.

At the first grand court meeting after the new emperor ascended the throne, a group of ministers once again advised the emperor to fill the harem with concubines and appoint a queen as soon as possible.

The ministers thought that since the emperor agreed to become emperor, he would naturally agree to the election of a queen. Unexpectedly, Yu Wantai decisively refused.

He said bluntly: "I have already married a wife, so there is no need to appoint another queen. As for the general election, there is even less need for it."

As soon as the words were spoken, the hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Many aristocratic families know something about the whereabouts of the new emperor Yu Wantai.

When the Dingbei Army attacked the city, Yu Wantai once raised a knife towards himself for the sake of the late emperor's concubine, which was enough to prove that he was still obsessed with the girl from the Yan family.

Yu Wantai insisted on not ascending the throne as emperor, and he went out of the palace every day to run to the courtyard where the Yan family girl lived, which further showed that he had the intention of letting the Yan family girl enter the palace.

It is true that the daughter of the Yan family is Yu Wantai’s first wife, but she is also the favorite concubine of the previous emperor. With such a shameful identity, it is impossible for her to enter the new emperor’s harem, let alone become the heir of a country.

After a strange silence, the censor advised: "I hope Your Majesty will put the country first! The royal heir is related to the continuation of our Dafeng country. I ask Your Majesty to select and fill the harem and appoint a queen as soon as possible!"

Immediately, a minister echoed, "Your Majesty, please put the country first!"

"Your Majesty, please select and fill your harem and appoint a queen as soon as possible!"

"Please, His Majesty, establish a queen!"

……

Several major families, such as Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Su Family, and Xue Family, have fallen one after another. When the new emperor ascends the throne, there will certainly be new aristocratic families to take their place. Sending daughters into the harem is the most effective shortcut for the aristocratic families to climb up.

Therefore, most of the ministers who forced the emperor to choose a queen had their own agenda besides the succession of the royal heir.

The emperor can have a favorite concubine, but he cannot favor only one person. The power of the former dynasty and the harem is like a pot of fragrant meat soup. Only when it is distributed can everyone have a share.

Facing the pressure from the ministers, Yu Wantai sat calmly on his high seat. When the ministers' anger had subsided, he sighed and said helplessly, "I understand that you want to prolong my Dafeng heir, but I am afraid I am powerless!"

The hall fell silent again, and none of the ministers could guess what the emperor meant.

Yu Wantai sighed again, his expression showing helplessness, "I was injured in Beiyue, I am afraid I will not be able to have children in this lifetime."

The fact that the emperor could not produce offspring shocked everyone like a thunderclap.

All the ministers in the hall had the same expression, standing there in amazement.

Looking at the hundreds of idiots below, Yu Jintai's embarrassment faded away for the most part, and he even felt a little secretly happy.

The abacus beads were snapping louder and louder than each other, and now they were snapping on his head. He deserved the pain.

After a long silence, one of the ministers was unwilling to give up and tried to test him: "We, the doctors of Dafeng, are very capable and will definitely be able to cure the emperor's hidden injury."

Yu Wantai didn't want to give everyone another chance to figure it out, so he added, "In order to find out the secrets of North Vietnam, I once worked in the Tianji Pavilion of North Vietnam."

As soon as these words were spoken, the mouths of all the ministers in the hall opened even wider.

Everyone knows that to enter the Tianji Pavilion of Beiyue, one must be cleansed. Is that a hidden injury? That's castration, not even human nature.

After the shock, the terrified ministers wanted to ask Yu Wantai, you don’t even have any offspring, why are you going through all the trouble to fight for the throne? Are you just sitting here to play?

But even if they thought about it, no minister dared to ridicule the emperor.

Even if the man above is a eunuch, he is a eunuch with an iron fist. No one can easily take away the throne under him.

The political situation has just stabilized. If there is no successor to Dafeng's rule, it will surely become chaotic in the near future.

A new emperor appoints new ministers, and after the first round of turmoil, everyone really can't stand it anymore.

Seeing his subordinates go from being furious, to being shocked, to being disappointed and depressed like eggplants hit by frost, Yu Wantai spoke to comfort them at the right time, "My dear ministers, don't worry too much. I already had a son before I went to the northern border. There is no fear that the kingdom of the Yu family in Dafeng will not be passed down."
