The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

That night.

The emperor rested in Jinghua Tower. Xie Yuzhen lay beside him, his head resting on his arm, his eyes closed and his breathing becoming increasingly steady.

Looking at the woman's plain and beautiful sleeping face, the emperor's bad mood of the whole day slowly dissipated, and he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. However, not long after he fell asleep, Xie Yuzhen, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes.

She was not sleepy at all, but became more and more excited.

[System, are you ready to dream? ]

[Ding——Report to the master, everything is ready, waiting for your order, we will let the surname Lu open his eyes! ]

Earlier, Xie Yuzhen had asked the dream-making system to prepare a dream so that the emperor would believe that his precious daughter was the reincarnation of a goddess from heaven. It just so happened that the dream-making system said that its core contained a lot of things that later generations would call "movies" and "TV series", as well as some "special effects" that could be pieced together into the dream, giving the emperor an unforgettable experience.

After the dream-making system had woven the entire dream, Xie Yuzhen experienced it in advance. Besides being shocked, she also helped it to slightly adjust the plot. At this moment, she gently touched her belly, her eyes full of undisguised ambition.

She probably got pregnant in April or May this year, and it has been at least four months now. Not long ago, the fetus in her belly started moving.

Moreover, this child exercises very regularly, once in the morning, noon and evening, and is very self-disciplined.

The Dasheng Dynasty has always regarded fetal movement as a symbol of the soul's reincarnation into the mother's womb. Xie Yuzhen had been waiting for this moment. When she first felt the fetal movement, she did not let anyone else know, not even the spring equinox and the summer solstice. In order to leave no mistakes in reality and to shock his mind in the dream, Xie Yuzhen had calculated all the prerequisites that would make the emperor spontaneously believe from the bottom of his heart that their two daughters were of extraordinary origins.

Closing his eyes, Xie Yuzhen used the function of the dream-making system to see the emperor's dream.

The emperor felt like he had just fallen asleep on the bed when suddenly he felt his whole body become very light, as if floating.

He instinctively lowered his head and looked down, only to see his body lying intact on the bed, with the woman in his arms sleeping soundly - the emperor's heart skipped a beat, and just when he was wondering if he had been tricked and died suddenly in his prime, a voice came from the side.

"Xiao Dao has met Emperor Sheng."

The emperor looked in the direction of the voice and saw a Taoist priest with white hair and beard, smiling at him. The Taoist priest held a whisk in his hand and said, "The Holy Mother has something important to discuss with Your Majesty. Please follow me to Yujing Mountain to discuss it."

The strange scene and the weird Taoist priest made the emperor begin to doubt whether he was dreaming.

However, the Taoist seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Emperor Sheng is not in a dream, but has been summoned by the Holy Mother and his soul has left his body."

The emperor looked at him doubtfully: "Is what you said true?"

"Whether it is true or not, Emperor Sheng will know if he follows me." The Taoist said, waving his whisk, and a huge crane appeared in the room.

The emperor found himself wearing the dragon robe and crown he wore when attending court. Although he was horrified, he forced a stiff expression and pretended to be calm as he followed the Taoist's instructions and sat on the back of the giant crane. He quietly pinched his thighs several times, and each pinch was very painful.

"Emperor Sheng, the soul body also has the feeling of pain." Xie Yuzhen decisively commanded the system to add a line to the guiding Taoist priest.

The emperor had a blank expression on his face, showing no sign of embarrassment at all, but Xie Yuzhen knew very well that this man must be secretly embarrassed in his heart. Since he cared so much about his reputation, he should be teased more.

[He believed it.] Xie Yuzhen cheered a little in his heart.

The dream-making system was a little nervous: [This is the emperor, how could he believe it? ]

[What do you think of the emperor? No matter how high his position and power are, facing such extraordinary and bizarre things, he is just an ignorant mortal.] Xie Yuzhen discovered that these systems from later generations like to regard the emperor very highly, as if he is not a person, but a complete symbol of power called "emperor".

He is the emperor, but can he use his imperial power to change his dreams?

No.

But I can.

Xie Yuzhen rubbed his hands happily.

But in Xie Yuzhen's opinion, Lu Yesheng and the dragon throne under his buttocks are not completely integrated. He does hold great power and has the final say, but in fact he also has many worries and troubles that only ordinary people have. It's just that those difficulties that belong to ordinary people are easily dispersed in the face of the power he possesses, which makes him seem to transcend the class of ordinary people.

Rather than viewing Lu Yesheng as an emperor who is always high and mighty, Xie Yuzhen would rather view him as an ordinary man who holds the power of an "emperor", but that power - will not always belong to him alone.

[That’s right.] The dream-making system jumped up and down.

[Do people in later generations still believe this? ] Xie Yuzhen suddenly asked out of curiosity.

The dream-making system shook left and right: [Some believe and some don't. Humans believe in strange things. In the future timeline of your world, there are still people who believe that a person can be slaughtered at any time regardless of his or her identity. This is better than the later era of respecting ghosts and gods and keeping a distance from them. It is more suitable for them to be ruled! ]

[They even called the monarch of the later era a traitor to humanity, lowering himself to human status, just because he used a title that had already existed in the previous two eras.]

Xie Yuzhen: [......]

[And, and, in later generations, the topic of whether the master is the emperor's true love is also a bloody topic once it is brought up! ]

【what? 】

[Because the master is the final winner. She is not a noblewoman, but has been married and had children. Moreover, she has never fallen out of favor since entering the palace. Her son born to her ex-husband, her mother and brother at home have all been conferred titles. Her daughter is rebellious but is the apple of the emperor's eye. In the later period, the emperor is even willing to let you read memorials with him and participate in politics...]

The dream-making system told us everything it knew.

Xie Ruizhen only heard one sentence from it: Honor in life, honor in death, and power over the world.

[I don’t know if I really love him, but the emperor must be very satisfied with my ability.] Xie Yuzhen was excited for a moment, but then he let it go. He glanced at the dream and saw that the emperor had already met with the "Taiyuan Holy Mother" and everything went smoothly.

[I also think that the master is the one the emperor cherishes the most, but many novels, picture books, dramas, etc. in later generations would make up a true love for the emperor who is not favored. ]

[There is also a book called "Prosperity History" which was dug out from a scholar's coffin two hundred years later. It says that my previous host was born in an aristocratic family, was quiet and taciturn, illiterate, gentle and virtuous, which is more in line with the standard of the emperor's true love...]

Now the emperor's true love has been confined to the cold palace.

[However, later research found that the book was just rewritten by someone two hundred years later. Someone even made a puppet show based on the content in it. The character who wrote the history book hundreds of years later said something, saying that although you have honor, power, status, and are the emperor's daughter, and your family will be rich and honored if you succeed, and you will be honored throughout your life, and after your death, incense and sacrifices will continue to be offered, and your name will go down in history as a woman...but your husband does not really love you. You must be lonely and unsatisfied, otherwise you would not look for a male favorite after the emperor died and miss him.]

Xie Yuzhen's eyes lit up as he listened: [Can you give me the power and position in advance? I don't mind enjoying it in advance, ah no, enduring the loneliness of a little male lover. ]
