The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Xie Wei really didn't like to rely on external forces. When Dream Creation was still a system, he was often left in a corner gathering dust. Now that he finally saw that he had a place to use his skills, he was naturally very positive.

[After all, my thinking is limited.] Xie Yuzhen finished copying another piece of calligraphy, and couldn't help but sigh with envy in his mind, [Whether it's the Tong Yu from the past or the Fu Qingsu who came now, they may not be good at making plans, but as long as we can get some ideas out of them, it will be enough to benefit me endlessly.]

She also discovered that her own thinking might be broad enough compared to some people in this era, but it was still far from the wonderful ideas that burst out from time to time from those souls of later generations. Of course, what made Xie Yuzhen even more envious was the attitude of those women from later generations that she had met towards certain things.

It is not their fault, and they will never bear the accusations of others. They will not be willing to sacrifice everything for the perpetrators and compromise like most women of this era. Although they are trying hard to fit into the rules of this society, it can still be seen from their words and deeds that the era they live in is no longer so restrictive.

Perhaps not gentle enough, not docile enough, and every part of her skin is filled with rebelliousness, but this is also a kind of vivid vitality that Xie Yuzhen rarely sees - for Xie Yuzhen, learning to resist is a very simple but difficult thing.

Even though she has now reached a position above everyone else, even though she has gone against the wishes of many men and insisted on sharing power with the emperor, doing things that a "good woman" should not do, and has become the most rebellious object that many people have openly and covertly attacked.

But at the beginning, she was also docile.

During those years of torture in the Wuwei Marquis' Mansion, until she truly realized that she would surely die if she continued like this, she thought that she just had to endure it. She had an obscure family background and was a woman who was naturally weaker than men. She could only endure it, seek compromise, and suffer grievances in order to seek stability.

Looking back at his former self now, Xie Yuzhen did not think that person was cowardly and useless, a piece of useless mud that could not be helped, but only felt that he was indeed pitiful.

Because that is not their way of life, but...the only way to survive.

But in those two souls who could be considered to be from the future, Xie Yuzhen saw a possibility that was completely different from all his cognitions.

Those things that were considered rebellious, treacherous, and outrageous in this era were just a part of simple life for those two women.

so good.

Xie Yu really thought that perhaps before he accepted the appointment to take over the position of Tiandao, while he was still alive, he might not see that day coming, but it didn’t matter. A tree that can be embraced by two people grows from a tiny seed; a nine-story tower starts from a pile of earth; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

She will become the first new sprout that breaks through the soil when the towering tree is born; she will lay the first brick and stone to consolidate the foundation for the nine-story platform; and she will also take the first step towards the unknown other side of the distant shore.

and so.

She would not allow anyone to destroy her plan or ruin her vision.

[It was my negligence. I should have asked you to investigate when she had a conflict with Guanying.]

The dream-making little light ball shook embarrassedly: [It’s because the master has been too busy recently. ]

Helping the emperor to manage so many affairs of a dynasty was something that even Dreammaker, who had never been a human being, found it frightening.

[Master, give the order.] It stretched out its little paws, making a gesture that it was ready to charge into battle for Xie Yuzhen at any time.

Xie Yuzhen put down his pen, asked Xia Zhi to clean up, and told her that he needed to take a nap. If there were any memorials sent in from the front, or if there were any matters in the Shanggong Bureau, he should not disturb her unless they were extremely urgent.

Xia Zhi seemed relieved when he heard this: "I have long felt that Your Majesty should take a good rest. Don't worry, I will look after the affairs of the Shanggong Bureau with Shanggong Yun."

Yun Shang Gong was Yun Rong, who used to be with Wang Linghui. After the Queen's death, she did not leave the palace, but stayed in the palace and returned to the Shang Gong Bureau to work.

When Xie Yuzhen adjusted the personnel of the Shanggong Bureau, he placed her in the second-in-command position among the female officials. At the beginning of this year, the old Shanggong retired, and Yunrong naturally took over the position of Shanggong.

Yun Rong was also an insider regarding the Queen and Concubine Ning's faked deaths. She was also in charge of Xie Yuzhen's daily correspondence with Wang Linghui, so she was very reliable.

Xie Yuzhen nodded, yawned and returned to the inner room.

After she nodded, Dreaming began to release invisible tentacles to explore in the direction of Duke Shen's Mansion.

But after a moment, its voice rang in Xie Yuzhen's mind: [Report to the master! The remnants of the plot given by the Lord God were found on Madam Chen Shao, but... there are only remnants left. I can try to interpret it, but I can't know the whole picture. ]

[Just residue?] Xie Yuzhen raised his eyelids.

Dreaming felt a little embarrassed again: [The Heavenly Dao of this world not only hit our systems, but also hit the Lord God even harder... Although He was not killed, He was crippled. It is normal for the plot to be incomplete...]

[That's fine, you... tell me everything you can interpret.] Xie Zhen felt that having a protective mother really saved him a lot of energy. When he first knew that this thing called "plot" would unconsciously turn everyone around the carrier into the person it described, Xie Zhen was still worried for a long time.

[Ahem.] Dreamer cleared his throat, [In her previous life, Chen Peiluan knew that men conquer the world and women conquer men, and she vowed to become the woman behind the most successful man.]

[After a chance encounter, she married the second son of the Duke of Shen's mansion. Everyone said that the second son Tao was lazy and had no ambition, but Chen Peiluan was embarrassed to marry a loser.]

[But who would have known that later, the second son of Tao inherited the title, and Chen Peiluan became the wife of a first-rank duke in great splendor. Moreover, because her husband held real power in the court, she was also envied by the other women in the family.]

[However, the good times did not last long. After Chen Peiluan became the wife of the Duke, a female sea king who mixed with men and used the excuse of studying for the imperial examination to raise fish and fish countless times appeared. She seduced Tao Er's heart and made Chen Peiluan, who was devoted to helping him get ahead, become an abandoned woman and spent the rest of her life alone in an empty room.]

[In her new life, when she once again faced her unmotivated husband and her lover dressed as a man, Chen Peiluan smiled faintly. The reason why Tao Er was able to hook up with that woman in her previous life was because she helped and guided him wholeheartedly, which allowed him to read poetry and hold real power? ]

[This time, she will never make things easier for others...]

[The following is all garbled, Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? ]

Xie Yuzhen sighed with a frown and a look of tiredness and helplessness in his eyes: [I have heard a little about what kind of person Tao Er is. She is capable enough to have pushed a guy like that to the top. But this plot is really vicious. My Guanying, she is so outstanding. Isn't it normal for men to like her? ]

[As long as it doesn't interfere with the main business, what's wrong with raising a few more dogs! This Chen guy is really blind. He first fell in love with the useless Tao Er, and then he even thought that my Guan Ying could also fall in love with a waste like Tao Er! ]
