Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

After the banquet, all the guests had a great time.

Only Lin Shu was very unhappy. The Minister of Revenue seemed like a fool. He was so proud of himself even though his clothes were wet by her urine. She didn't understand why someone had such a habit.

Instead, she herself was exhausted by this action. She had to take a shower and change clothes. She was so sleepy that she couldn't go to bed.

Lin Shu felt exhausted physically and mentally. Fortunately, at the court meeting the next day, the emperor showed mercy and let Lin Shu go. He just hugged her and went to court.

Lin Shu, who was pretending to be dead in bed, saw that the emperor had left on his own, and he felt relieved and continued to sleep soundly.

Unfortunately, Lin Shu's sweet dream did not last long. He was awakened by the sound outside the door. He only heard a gentle female voice outside the door, talking to the wet nurse in a coaxing and all sorts of ways.

He just wanted to come in and see the little princess, and said he wouldn't stay too long, he just wanted to go in and take a look.

After a while, another shrill female voice came in, with the same meaning as the other one.

Lin Shu was troubled by the noise. How can a baby lack sleep? It will make the baby stupid!

Lin Shu, who was sleep deprived, suddenly started to cry loudly, and it was obvious that he was really angry.

[Wow, wow, I want to sleep. Those who disturb my sleep are bad people! ]

[It’s all my stinky daddy’s fault. I have so many wives. Why would they come to me instead of my daddy?]

The emperor in the court was frightened by Lin Shu's inner voice. The louder Lin Shu's inner voice was, the louder it became when he heard it.

When Lin Shu made a fuss this time, he felt as if someone was beating a gong in his ears.

The emperor glanced at the minister who was still talking nonsense and his face turned cold.

"If you can't explain such a small matter clearly, I think you don't need to be an official anymore. Dismiss."

After saying that, he ran away, leaving the officials confused. What does your majesty mean? Was I dismissed from my position or not?

Wow, isn't it always like this before, patting the dragon's butt first and then talking about the matter? Why did I pat the dragon's legs today?

The emperor would not care about his ideas at all. His brain was about to be blown away by Lin Shu's noise!

When the emperor saw the concubines blocking Lin Shu's door, he immediately knew what these women were planning.

It's simply that Lin Shu is now the only heir to the throne and is particularly favored, so these women want to be Lin Shu's mothers so that they can use Lin Shu to win favor.

When the concubines saw the emperor coming, they immediately fell silent, but they still tried various methods to attract the emperor's attention.

Some of them seemed to be paying their respects obediently, but in fact they secretly raised their delicate little faces and winked at the emperor.

Others try hard to pose and show their best side.

Another one pretended to lose her balance and immediately fell towards the emperor. The other concubines twisted their handkerchiefs and gnashed their teeth.

The concubine who was pretending to fall was still smug, looking at the emperor walking towards her with affection. She knew that His Majesty must be worried about her. She looked at the emperor getting closer and closer, closed her eyes, and showed a shy expression.

At this moment, she felt the warmth of His Majesty's palm. At this moment, she even thought about what position she would use at night. The next moment, she felt her body lighten, and then her body fell uncontrollably in other directions.

She felt a sharp pain and opened her eyes, only to see the edge of the emperor's clothes passing in front of her eyes and walking quickly into the house.

"Hey, sisters, did you see that? Some people rushed to throw themselves into His Majesty's arms, but were pushed away by His Majesty in disgust."

“Hahahaha, how embarrassing.”

"Did you see what Zhao Shuyi looked like just now? She is so shameless."

"That's right, she wants to compete with the princess? Your Majesty must feel sorry for the crying little princess."

Zhao Shuyi climbed up from the ground with great pain, looked at them hatefully, covered her face with a handkerchief and ran away crying.

The emperor in the room felt overwhelmed when he heard the noise outside, so he asked Eunuch Zhao to send them all away.

He himself hugged Lin Shu and coaxed her softly, "Be good, Fubao. Daddy has sent them all away and will keep them grounded for another month. Your crying makes Daddy's heart ache."

Lin Shu's crying gradually became weaker, and he babbled and blamed his father, the emperor.

[You grounded them, they don't dare to be angry with you, they might take their anger out on me. Why do I have such a stupid father? ]

The emperor thought so and decided to let Eunuch Zhao give them a warning instead of punishing them.

After the emperor coaxed Lin Shu to sleep, he went to the imperial study to handle government affairs.

As the sun was setting, a figure rushed into the imperial study, but was stopped outside the door by Eunuch Zhao.

The emperor pinched his brows and said, "Let him in."

When Mencius heard the emperor's promise, he immediately rushed into the imperial study.

At this moment, he had a scruffy beard and dark circles under his eyes, but there was no sign of fatigue on his face and he looked extremely excited.

He even forgot to salute. With trembling hands, he took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and looked at the emperor eagerly.

Meng Zidu's voice was trembling as he lowered his voice and tried to report in a low voice, but he lost his voice for a moment. He quickly swallowed his saliva and reported in a low voice again: "Your Majesty, it's done."

The emperor looked at the paper in front of him, and felt his mouth dry. He tried to write a few words on it with a brush, and the handwriting was clear. He gently rubbed the paper with his hands, feeling the thinness of the paper. If it was made into a book, a thin book would probably be able to carry the contents of a pile of scrolls.

The emperor also swallowed his saliva before saying, "Should we find someone to copy the books now?"

Meng Zidu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is too slow. For the past month, whenever I think of the paper coming out, I can't sleep at night, thinking about how to spread the knowledge as quickly as possible."

The emperor looked at Meng Zidu's fiery eyes and guessed that this man might have come up with a solution.

Meng Zidu took out another object from his arms, a square piece of wood.

"I wonder if your Majesty could lend me some ink."

The emperor handed him the ink. Mencius covered the square stone with ink, then covered it directly on the paper and slowly uncovered it.

Then he changed another page of paper and covered it again.

The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, "Zidu is really talented! He can actually think of such a method!"

The emperor took the paper printed with words and read it again and again, feeling extremely delighted.

In this way, different classics only need to be carved once and can be reused, greatly reducing the time for book making.

At this moment, a voice from the heart sounded.

[Why is Daddy secretly staying with Mengzi again? Could it be that Daddy actually likes men? ]

The emperor and Mencius both looked outside the door at the same time, then looked at each other, and found that the distance was indeed closer.

Mencius silently took a few steps back and distanced himself from the emperor.

At this time, Lin Shu, who was in the arms of his wet nurse, could not see Meng Zidu's figure through the gap in the door that was not closed tightly.

Feeling a little anxious, Manager Zhao, who was guarding the door, suddenly opened the door after receiving a signal from the emperor.

Lin Shu immediately blinked his big innocent eyes and stared at his emperor father.

Then I saw the carved blocks and paper in the emperor's hands.

[Eh? Isn't this woodblock printing? So Daddy and Lord Meng are researching this? But I remember that movable type printing seems to be more convenient, right? ]
