Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 229: Escaping from natural disasters and turning things around (28)
More than half a month after Qi Haochen successfully returned to Beijing, Shen Yao and Qi Chen also arrived at the royal palace in Beijing with their men.
She did not go into the palace to meet the emperor first, but went back to reunite with Qi Haochen and others.
Shen Yao was holding her little daughter Shen Zhen in her arms. She had been resting for more than half a month and had not yet fully recovered. She was so angry that she reached out and patted her on the back.
"Nonsense, you simply don't take yourself seriously. When you're done with this, follow me back to your fiefdom."
Only if I watch over him can Shen Zhen behave himself. This child has never been a good kid and has become more and more lawless since he was little.
Shen Yao, who had seen through Shen Zhen's appearance, directly blocked all the excuses that the other party could come up with, leaving Shen Zhen no room for maneuver.
Shen Zhen: ...
Shen Zhen looked at her finger with grievance, "Mom, I also want to help Chen'er."
Although I suffered a lot along the way, fortunately the result was a happy ending.
"Are you helping? I'm worried that if you continue like this, you might even end up losing your life."
Shen Yao said this bluntly, regardless of whether Shen Zhen believed it or not, and added that her medical skills still needed to be improved, and that she could provide personal guidance if she returned to Changzhou Prefecture, which would be much more useful than staying in the capital.
At this time, Shen Zhen also understood the hidden meaning of her mother's words. She immediately changed her previous sad expression, smiled sweetly, and hugged Shen Yao's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Mother, I know you love me the most. After we finish Chen'er's business, we will go back to Changzhou Prefecture."
Shen Zhen was not too stupid. Even if he didn't understand it at first, he now had a rough idea in his mind.
Shen Yao reached out and touched Shen Zhen's hair, "You are different from the other brothers and sisters. As a doctor, you save patients with kindness, but not everyone can be saved.
Mother doesn’t want you to understand anything, but you can’t stay in the capital any longer, at least not before Chen’er takes that position.”
Qi Haochen had been busy with Shen Shi and Shen Zhen for more than half a year, and it goes without saying that it was a difficult task.
Even if there was no system talking nonsense, Shen Yao could still imagine the various troubles they would encounter.
Now that they have returned to Beijing safely, they should enjoy the results they deserve. Unfortunately, Shen Yao couldn't help but sigh, and her hands moved slowly.
……
After resting for two days in the palace, carriages from the palace came to pick them up. Qi Chen and Shen Yao wore special royal robes and got on the carriage to the palace.
"Lord Luo, Princess Luo, the Emperor invites you."
"Thank you, sir. Please lead the way."
Looking up at the palace scenery that he hadn't seen for some time, Qi Chen took Shen Yao's hand and patted it.
Shen Yao smiled back, and the couple soon arrived outside the imperial study.
"Your humble servant pays respects to my brother the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."
"No need to be polite, please."
The queen had passed away several years ago, and the emperor treated other concubines in the palace equally.
Originally there were several favored concubines, but after Concubine Xin suddenly disappeared, the originally noisy harem became visibly quiet.
Nowadays, the harem is just a decoration. When the emperor doesn't go there, the concubines live their own lives behind closed doors.
Just like today when the Emperor stood outside the Imperial Study to receive Qi Chen and Shen Zhen, there was only the Emperor present and no one dared to raise any objections.
The three of them entered the main hall and found seats to sit down.
"Fifteenth brother, it has been a year since I last left Beijing."
The emperor is the eighth child, Qi Chen is the fifteenth child, and excluding those who are no longer around, there are about twenty brothers left.
Now, except Qi Chen who walked back on his own, the others were basically escorted to the capital and locked up in the royal palaces with their gates tightly closed.
"In reply to my Royal Brother, it has been one year and three months. The last time I came back, I was not as tired as I am today."
In the eyes of the emperor, Qi Chen has always been a person who dares to tell the truth. Even though the emperor is getting older, Qi Chen's behavior has not changed over the years. This is also the main reason why they can talk to each other now.
The emperor chuckled upon hearing this and waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that as he was old, it was inevitable that he would feel physically tired. Besides, Qi Chen was not much younger than him, so they should not laugh at each other.
"Speaking of which, your offspring is stronger than mine. Chen'er has been in the capital for many years and is much better than you were when you were young."
Even the emperor was occasionally surprised that Qi Haochen was actually Qi Chen's son.
As the emperor's younger brother, he relied on his father when he was young and relied on his son when he was old. Such luck is really enviable.
Qi Chen showed his signature innocent smile, "It is Chen'er's blessing that the emperor likes Chen'er. I think I am better than Chen'er."
emperor:……
The emperor pointed at Qi Chen and laughed happily, "You, there are not many people who can make me happy." At least in terms of his ability to make people laugh, Qi Chen was far ahead.
Because they were facing the emperor, Shen Yao, a woman, played the role of a background board most of the time. Occasionally, when the two brothers talked about Qi Haochen's childhood, Shen Yao would be brought up to add a few words.
When the emperor's face showed obvious fatigue, Qi Chen and Shen Yao stood up to say goodbye. At this time, the sky outside had become a little gloomy.
Before they knew it, they had spent most of the day with the emperor in the imperial study.
The emperor was supposed to have dinner, but it was too late, so he didn't stay any longer and just said he would come back to the palace tomorrow since he had a lot of free time recently anyway.
Qi Chen and Shen Yao: ...
"My brother has changed his temper. Before, he wouldn't have said so much to me."
Qi Chen stretched out his hand and pinched the top of his nose, his facial expression no longer as energetic as when he just left the palace.
This is no wonder. Talking with the emperor is like living with a tiger. If you are not careful, you will get into big trouble.
Although Qi Chen and the emperor have different fathers and different mothers, the emperor has killed these brothers before. Royal disputes have always been cruel and bloody. Trying to find that invisible family affection here is even more outrageous than seeking true love.
Shen Yao felt a little sorry for Qi Chen. The son had just been used, and the father had to go to the palace to entertain and play. It was the bright situation that made the father and son more willing to do it.
"Your Highness, are you going to the palace next?" Shen Yao didn't need to accompany him, but Qi Chen couldn't run away.
Qi Chen rubbed his face, buried most of his body in Shen Yao's arms and relaxed, "How can I refuse the invitation of my royal brother?"
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao looked at Qi Chen's frustrated look and finally laughed. It's true that you shouldn't gloat over someone else's misfortune, but Shen Yao couldn't help it.
Hahahaha this is so interesting. To become a new emperor, one has to go through 81 difficulties.
Next time, if she has the chance to enter the world of palace fighting again, she promises to make a more perfect plan and never give anyone the chance to mess around.
However, no matter how good Shen Yao's plan is, it will only happen next time. Qi Chen still has to suffer the punishment before him.
After returning to the palace for only one night's rest, Qi Chen returned to the palace full of energy early the next morning.
Shen Yao stood at the gate of the mansion to see them off. After the people left, she called Qi Haochen over to ask him some questions.
Qi Haochen: ...
Qi Haochen wailed. He had been very well behaved recently and had not done anything.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao reached out and tapped Qi Haochen's little head. "Mother knows that you are well-behaved. This time I asked you to know how you plan to arrange your marriage."
Qi Haochen's current situation is special, and it is very difficult for Shen Yao and Qi Chen to intervene.
However, no matter how difficult it is, there is a way, so Shen Yao asked Qi Haochen.
Ok?
Qi Haochen tilted his head and whispered, "My son doesn't have any plans. Mother will say today that the emperor is interested in granting a marriage?"
Qi Haochen turned the topic to the emperor. After all, seeing his father running to the palace, it would take a few days to end.
Shen Yao nodded and said to him, "If you don't have someone you like, it would be best if the emperor ordered a marriage."
In other words, Shen Yao planned to work hand in hand with Qi Chen to sell Qi Haochen's marriage to the emperor, so as to deepen the interest relationship between the emperor and Qi Haochen.
Shen Yao and Qi Chen will eventually return to their fiefdoms. Qi Haochen, as the heir to the emperor, will stay in the capital and it is best for him to remain friendly with the emperor.
As the saying goes, when the interests between both parties are great enough, there will be no conflict.
Shen Yao told Qi Haochen her idea and got Qi Haochen's approval.
Sell it.
It doesn't matter who they sell to, but selling it to the emperor will bring more benefits than disadvantages to them.
"Mother, there are several ministers in the court who are not very honest recently. Why not let father sell them all as long as the price offered by the emperor is suitable."
Qi Haochen looked like a profiteer, and he spoke without any guilt.
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows and patted Qi Haochen on the shoulder to show that he was a teachable boy.
"Mother will explain everything to your father. Just rest in the palace recently." It won't be long before they can get what they want.
At night, before going to bed, Shen Yao told Qi Chen beside her about her conversation with Qi Haochen.
Qi Chen lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Yao, his face full of wrinkles when he smiled.
Oh my, she is worthy of being his wife. She thinks exactly the same as he does.
After hearing this, Qi Chen was no longer sleepy. He got up and discussed with Shen Yao how to sell the products best.
Qi Haochen, who was still away: ...He felt that no matter how he sold it, it was not appropriate
"Your Majesty, Chen'er's marriage should have been decided by the Emperor.
Firstly, we are not familiar with the situation in the capital, and secondly, the choice of the marriage partner is also very important. If it is not good, it will give Chen Er a headache in the future."
Shen Yao felt that the capital was the emperor's base camp, so it was natural that the emperor knew the situation better. Even if the emperor had other purposes in arranging a marriage for Qi Haochen, the candidate would definitely be acceptable in all aspects.
"When the prince comes to the palace later, he can raise this matter and ask the emperor about his attitude," which is also an opportunity for the two of them to connect.
Qi Chen lay down and hugged Shen Yao's shoulders, "Madam, you have considered it very well. The emperor values Chen'er and will definitely not harm Chen'er in this way."
Because it is not worth it, the emperor has no children and can be said to be a truly lonely man.
There were a few sickly princesses before, but they died early one after another, until now, the sound of babies crying has never been heard in the harem.
The emperor had completely despaired of having an heir, otherwise he would not have acted so radically. After Qi Haochen fulfilled his expectations, he valued him without reservation.
After a few days in the palace, Qi Chen figured out the emperor's thoughts. Perhaps he had some reservations about them, but he had no selfish motives towards Qi Haochen. He was training and teaching him completely as the successor to the Qi kingdom.
The couple leaned against each other, their heads touching, their voices becoming quieter and quieter, and finally they fell into a deep sleep. However, this conversation before going to bed made both of them have a beautiful dream.
Qi Chen had been to the palace many times, so it was easy for him to find an opportunity to successfully propose Qi Haochen's marriage.
The emperor seemed to be waiting for Qi Chen to speak. He was not surprised and did not say much. He only asked Qi Chen what kind of family he wanted to marry.
Qi Chen smiled innocently and said that they had no experience in this area, and it would be best to marry someone who could take care of the backyard and make Qi Haochen's life easier in the future.
The emperor's expression was meaningful. "That coincides with my thoughts."
Qi Chen: …
Qi Chen's expression was so surprised and as if he had realized what was going on that the emperor couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Sure enough, his younger brother is definitely a wonderful person, no matter from which aspect.
……
At the beginning of the month, the weather is getting hotter.
With the Emperor's official decree granting marriage and appointing the Crown Prince, Prince Luo's Mansion became the focus of attention in the capital.
Qi Haochen's wife came from a family of military generals. There was no male heir in the family, only a grandchild.
Shen Yao knocked on the table, "What do you think of the emperor's choice?"
Qi Haochen held his chin with one hand, "It can prevent the generals from threatening the imperial power, and it can also gather the military power that has been lost.
But can Miss Cheng take on the responsibilities of the Crown Princess and the Queen?"
The only daughter of a military family, with tens of thousands of soldiers standing behind her at the border, she is a woman who can only stay in the backyard.
Shen Yao smiled, "That's something the other party should consider. If they only care about us, this marriage should be a good one." At least Qi Haochen doesn't have to worry about the border issue for the time being.
"Get along well with Miss Cheng. We are all in the same boat now." There is no need to worry about any mess in advance.
In feudal society, the imperial power has always been supreme. Throughout history, many people have wanted to challenge it, but few have succeeded.
And even if it succeeds, it will ultimately be just another reincarnation.
……
Qi Haochen's enthronement ceremony was very grand. In front of all the court officials, the emperor worshipped heaven and earth and read out the imperial edict.
The sound of drums and bells, as well as the vast sound of worship, filled the entire space.
Shen Yao and Qi Chen stood in the distance, their eyes fixed on Qi Haochen, who was wearing a bright yellow auspicious suit. They both lamented that they had waited for this day for too long.
Perhaps because he was happy, Qi Chen got drunk and fell asleep on the day of the enthronement ceremony.
Shen Yao asked the system to check Qi Chen's body and confirmed that this person had some illness due to overwork. If he could not take good care of himself, it would affect his lifespan.
Shen Yao took out a pill from the space and fed it to Qi Chen, then sat in front of the dressing table and took care of herself.
"Host, the pills you gave me are only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure." They can't solve Qi Chen's root problem at all. In fact, this person's body is still weak.
"Everyone has his own destiny. All I can do is to ask you not to make things uncomfortable on your happy day."
Qi Chen's health was a result of a hidden illness from his early years, and Qi Chen himself was aware of it.
Now that the big stone in his heart has been put down, it is normal for Qi Chen to be ill.
Shen Yao doesn't plan to help Qi Chen take care of his body, otherwise, when he lives to be old, what will happen to Qi Haochen? When there is a conflict between the father and son, who should he listen to?
'System, you can seriously consider the arrangement of the next mission world,' because her future life will be smooth and worry-free.
