The baby-making system is unreliable

Ever since Wen Shengxian disappeared, there has been no light in the room. He has become more and more lazy and doesn't even go out. He is obviously freer now than when he was in Beijing.

In the past, I couldn’t go anywhere I wanted to go. Now, I can go everywhere but don’t want to go. I feel like I have lost my soul. I either casually flip through the books I had sorted out before, or stare at the chess game in the room.

Not only that, sometimes when the young master was in the mood, he would make a cup of tea in the house. His favorite tea was Keemun black tea, and making tea was fine.

He had to watch the tea brew, listen to the bubbling sound of the tea, and then drink it when it tasted bitter.

Others may not know its origin, but Hanzhi, as his close attendant, knows where the unfinished game came from, and it reminds him of what happened in the past.

About seven years ago, it was also the early spring. As the emperor's teacher, the young master had to go to the palace to teach every day. At that time, Your Majesty was still a child in his early ten years old.

Children are playful by nature, and there are only three little masters in the royal family. Young Master Shangyi is disobedient and never pays attention in teaching. He only does his studies and government affairs to get by.

With the leader here, what about the other two princesses? They couldn't sit still and couldn't listen.

At that time, when it was late, everyone was distracted and in a mess. Although the young master was a teacher at that time, he was not very old after all, so he did not force them and allowed them not to teach later.

But he also had a condition. If he didn't want to teach, he had to leave one person to play chess with him, and the person could come and go freely regardless of winning or losing.

At that time, the only one who volunteered to stay and play chess with the young master was probably His Majesty. Princess Yuan'an was still young and timid. She would not answer in class and would run away quickly after school.

As a result, only Wen Shengxian and Yun Yirou were left to play chess. She was still young at that time, and during the game, she was always fanning herself nonchalantly, playing carelessly.

It was a little chilly in the courtyard. That day she had her hair loosely tied up in a bun, secured with a jade hairpin, and was chatting with her maid while playing chess.

She felt bored as usual and was always lazy. She let Liuzhi sit next to her, and she herself was still nonchalant, gently waving her silk fan and playing chess with her master.

Tea was boiling on a small stove next to the chessboard. It was the Emperor's favorite Keemun black tea. He would always drink a pot of it after a game of chess.

Her skills were originally quite good, but she still found it rather strenuous to deal with the gentleman. She took longer and longer to think, and it seemed as if her patience had run out. She would often leisurely turn sideways and cover her eyes to dodge.

She seemed to know that she could not win and had no interest in playing anymore. The jade hairpin on her head swayed and collided with her movements, making bursts of crisp sounds.

Finally, Yun Yurou couldn't stand it anymore. She looked at Wen Shengxian for mercy, threw the chess piece in anger, and asked angrily, "Why does the Imperial Master keep people to play chess every day?! Are you doing this to hurt me?!"

Wen Shengxian smiled at her, threw all the chess pieces in his hand into the chess basket, then looked up at her angry expression and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty has few children. Several princes and princesses died of illness one after another, and only a branch of the royal family is left far away in Yinzhou. Of course, I love the three princes very much!!"

"So?!" You are so protective of her?! You are protective of her to the point of destroying the self-confidence of a ten-year-old girl?! Yun Yurou glared at him, thinking roughly this, and said, "Imperial Master is making things difficult for me, aren't you afraid that my father will blame you!?"

At that time, Wen Shengxian, who was only nineteen years old, laughed out loud: "So as the emperor's teacher, I cannot sneak out of the palace early, lest your majesty blame me for leaving my post without permission. I can only trouble you, Your Highnesses, to play chess with me to kill time."

He really knows how to take a break from his busy schedule, slack off and make jokes, taking this opportunity to keep one person to "teach". This way, the three princes will not be bored due to teaching for too long, nor will His Majesty feel that he has not taught with all his heart.

“But is it possible... that the one left behind was me all along!?” Yun Xirou seemed displeased in her words and wiped the chessboard.

"That can only mean that Your Highness is willing to accommodate me! I would like to thank Your Highness here!" Wen Shengxian couldn't help laughing, as if he didn't care about the chessboard.

"Have you ever asked me if I'm willing?" Yun Xirou said to Wen Shengxian opposite her very seriously, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking.

"If Your Highness doesn't want to, why do you want to stay?!" Wen Shengxian said this while observing her expression. He stood up unconsciously and said, "Since Your Highness doesn't want to, then I will accept the punishment."

"You!! Imperial Master, look at the boiling tea!" Yun Yurou seemed to be looking at the pot of tea, her eyes lit up, and then she said to Wen Shengxian with a smile: "If you boil Imperial Master's tea any further, it will be overcooked!"

Wen Shengxian's attention was also diverted for a moment, and he hurriedly picked up the teapot, not caring whether it was hot or not. And where he couldn't see, Yun Xirou seemed to care about him, but her finger was pointing at the chessboard, desperately winking at Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi, who was standing by, understood what was going on and hurriedly swept her sleeve across the chessboard, mixing the black and white pieces together, toppling over and over, with no recognizable trace of their original appearance.

When everything calmed down and the messy place was cleaned up, Wen Shengxian couldn't help but feel pity. He just shook his head and sighed, "This pot of tea was overcooked. It must taste bad!!"

"Oh my! This... is such a pity. Such a good game of chess has been messed up. I'm afraid it won't be finished."

At this moment, Yun Xirou pretended to be surprised, looking at the messed up chess game with a look of regret on her face. She secretly covered her mouth and laughed, feeling smug and delighted.

Wen Shengxian didn't show his emotion, and told her calmly, "Oh! It's okay, it's not a big deal. I'll just remember the layout and restore it one by one."

So, under Yun Xirou's stunned gaze, Wen Shengxian used his slender fingers to lift the pieces one by one, slowly and steadily restoring the disturbed chess pieces.

At that time, Yun Yurou was at a loss for words, so she had to cheat and reached out to drop a chess piece on the chess table to another place: "No, this should be here... The Emperor Master remembered it wrong."

Wen Shengxian raised his eyebrows and smiled, then moved back and said jokingly, "It's right here. I won't bully Your Highness."

"No, no! Master Emperor, you are bullying me. I am the one who is right!" Yun Xirou grabbed his hand, took back the chess piece, and put it back where she had placed it previously.

Wen Shengxian seemed to be in a good mood and tried to snatch the chess piece from her hand, causing Yun Xirou to scream and stretch out her hands to wave around on the chessboard, causing the scene to become chaotic again.

His mind was wandering, as if he had just woken up from a dream, until Han Zhi came out of the room with a pile of books. He heard Han Yi calling out in a low voice: "Young Master has been in the room for a long time and hasn't gone out for a long time. What's going on?"

"Write to the master and his wife! I will go and deliver the things to His Majesty first, and just take good care of the young master."

Han Zhi shook his head helplessly, and thought that at this time, the only ones who could persuade the young master were the master and his mistress who were far away in Linzhou.

……

As the night faded and dawn broke, the morning sun shone across the land, but still with a hint of early spring coolness. Today, civilians gathered by the river and hoisted the Yongchang Sailors' flag high above the sails.

Hundreds of boats gathered on the bank of the Bixi River since dawn, connecting with the white clouds and blue sky in the sky, forming an extremely spectacular picture. This scene is extremely rare and attracted the attention of the world.

This was the return of the Li family navy, which aroused great interest among the people. They stopped their boats, watched and discussed enthusiastically.

For a moment, the river became extremely lively, filled with noisy sounds and crowded scenes, as if the entire river was boiling.

Five tourists who seemed to be from other places were surprised to see this scene for the first time. They looked at it with wide eyes and asked, "What's going on, boatman? Why are there so many people on the river?"

"Hey, you are from other places, right?! The Li family's navy has returned to Beijing. It is said that General Li has returned to Beijing with his son."

The old fisherman in the river pulled his boat slightly to the side, and the oar in his hand sliced ​​across the river, leaving waves. He stood on the boat and looked up, with a comfortable smile on his face.

Looking at the young men on his boat, Mr. Yu introduced the scene with a kind smile. This kind of scene is indeed rare for ordinary people.

"Yes, old man, we are from Yinzhou. This is our first time in Beijing. I heard that General Li returned from Yizhou, which is a poor place!!"

A young woman in a headscarf said with a smile, her slender fingers sweeping across the water, as if she had never seen the Bixi River before.

"Isn't it?! Emperor Chanwen sent troops to conquer Nanyue several times, regardless of the people's wishes. Who doesn't have a few young men in the army?! Fortunately, the Li family is strict in military discipline and cares about the people, so as to reduce the number of casualties."

The more Yu Lao spoke, the more excited he became. He sat down with the oar in his hand, and watched the scene from the bow. His words showed his joy as a commoner.

For them, their biggest wish is less war and more peace, for their son to come home, for their family to grow old in peace, and for them to go fishing and boating.

In recent years, thanks to General Li's presence in Yizhou, Nanyue was unable to invade Yongchang, and they were able to have temporary peace.

It would be much better if Emperor Chanwen had not caused any trouble in the past three years. These river fishermen are all looking forward to peace and the enjoyment of family happiness.

"Then...what about the Empress? I heard that she has been on the throne for less than a year. How does she handle government affairs compared to Emperor Chanwen?!"

"The Empress?!" Old Yu stroked his beard, thought for a moment and said, "The Empress has only been on the throne for a short time, but I think she is more reliable than that ridiculous Emperor Chanwen. At least she is a benevolent ruler!!"

“Is that so!?” It seemed that he didn’t know much. The woman responded silently and let the cool river water flow through her palms, dripping with crystal clear water droplets, which looked very beautiful in the sunlight.

"Hey? Why are you asking about the Empress's political affairs?!" Old Yu seemed to sense something strange. He turned around and glanced at the five people on the other side of the cabin, frowning and looking at them carefully.

"Ahem... Don't blame me, old man. We are just... I am curious. Besides, we came from Yinzhou, and we are afraid that the empress will do something inappropriate and hurt her relatives."

This time it was the person next to the woman who answered. That person looked quite young, with two sharp fangs, and he had a feeling of confidence and recklessness.

"Oh!" Old Yu responded without saying anything more, but he did take a few more glances. Although this group of people seemed to be dressed in low-key clothes, they were still quite eye-catching.

On the broad river, the sound of war drums was deafening, shaking the river water to the point of boiling. Countless warships gathered together, forming a dense array of ships.

Bright flags were flying on every ship. Soldiers dressed in neat armor and holding sharp weapons stood at the bow, looking forward majestically.

The drummers beat the war drums vigorously with a brisk and powerful rhythm. The whole scene was magnificent and exciting.

Looking from afar, I saw General Li standing majestically at the bow in a military uniform. His tall figure seemed like an unshakable mountain. I couldn't help but sigh: "This is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles!"

When the boat docked, General Li was the first to get off. Although he was nearly sixty years old, he could still walk steadily, and every step he took was filled with the unique aura of a general.

He walked respectfully in front of Yun Xirou, knelt on one knee, performed a standard official salute, and said in a loud voice: "Your old minister pays his respects to the Empress!" His voice was loud and echoed over the entire dock, prompting thousands of soldiers behind him to salute.

Yun Xirou smiled slightly, quickly helped General Li up, and said affectionately: "General Li, please get up quickly. You have worked hard on the journey. I will hold a banquet in the palace to welcome you!" Her tone was full of respect for the old general.

At this time, Yun Yirou was wearing a red palace dress, gorgeous and solemn. She wore a crown on her head, inlaid with dazzling jewels, her face was beautiful and majestic, and her eyes were full of wisdom and decisiveness.

General Li stood up, smiled and bowed to Yun Xirou to express his gratitude. Behind him followed a group of family members, who also bowed and greeted Yun Xirou.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with General Li, Yun Xirou invited them to go to the palace together. She had someone prepare a banquet early in the morning.

"Father, second brother, I heard that my eldest sister-in-law and little nephew are back too!?" Li Yinwan couldn't wait to run to his second brother's side and asked in a low voice.

Uh...? After all, the surroundings were quite quiet, and Li Yinwan's careless actions were heard by the martial artists around him.

"I didn't teach my daughter well..." After saying this, the old General Li was about to kneel down again. Perhaps it was because the shadow left by Emperor Chanwen at that time was too big, so he couldn't help but think that Yun Xirou was the same.

"Old General, don't be nervous. I am not Emperor Chanwen. Li Yinwan is my close friend. I allow her to do whatever she wants. You don't have to be restrained."

Yun Yirou only said one sentence to reassure him. When she forced the emperor to abdicate, half of the 300,000 troops were borrowed from the Li family. She wanted to thank the Li family: "I also want to thank the Li family for their help. Li Yinwan and I also had a friendship since childhood. I will never forget it."
