"Is Shang Yue so confused at such a young age? He actually let a woman participate in government affairs and built a charity to support those useless beggars. Can they afford it?"

Their Yuan Dynasty produced more grain every year than the Shang Dynasty, but they did not dare to do so.

In Yuan Anchen's opinion, as long as a capable person would not let himself fall to the level of a beggar. If he became a beggar, he would be a waste and there was no need for him to live.

He placed the letter lightly on the nanmu table beside him.

"In my opinion, the Great Shang will be destroyed by Shang Yue sooner or later."

The people around were silent and no one dared to talk.

Even though the prince seems to be in a good mood now, he has a fickle temperament and his mood can change at any time.

Especially when it comes to matters related to the King of the Shang Dynasty, if they accidentally fail to speak to the prince's heart's content, they will be punished.

Yuan Anchen continued, "They say he is a young genius, a man of great talent and vision, wise and brave, but I don't think so."

His tone was casual, full of contempt.

Yuan Anchen, as the eldest son of the Yuan Dynasty royal family, was born into a noble family, favored by his father the emperor and his mother the queen, gifted with intelligence, accomplished in both civil and military affairs, a true child of destiny.

The Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty is only 37 years old, in the prime of his life. Although he has not appointed a crown prince, Yuan Anchen is the first prince to be granted a royal palace, which shows that he loves him very much.

But since he was a child, he had often heard his father praise Shang Yue for his outstanding abilities. So much so that later, even though he had never met Shang Yue, he was extremely annoyed with this person.

Yuan Anchen narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped lightly on the small table beside the couch with his slender fingers.

"Ronglu, what kind of stunning beauty do you think Shang Yue's queen must be to be able to fascinate him so much that he would not even take concubines into his harem for her and even allow her to participate in government affairs?"

Meeting the gloomy gaze of his own prince, Ronglu felt very nervous and thought carefully before speaking.

"Your Highness, in my opinion, the Great Shang monarch was bewitched by the queen, and that's why he was obsessed with her. And those rumors about how stunningly beautiful the Great Shang queen was were probably spread by court officials and their families in order to curry favor with the Great Shang queen."

As he spoke, he observed Yuan Anchen's expression. Seeing that he looked satisfied, he continued.

"Speaking of beauties, there are many beauties in the prince's backyard, each with their own merits. Even the most beautiful woman in the Yuan Dynasty is the prince's concubine, so that one cannot compare to her."

Yuan Anchen was a man who was very fond of beauty. In the backyard alone, besides the princess and two concubines, there were dozens of concubines.

Even the maids in the mansion were not allowed to be ugly. The maids serving in his courtyard were prettier than those in other places.

Anyone could hear that Ronglu was secretly belittling Shang Yue.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yuan Anchen suddenly laughed out loud with his head back, his laughter was arrogant and complacent, and gradually faded away.

"Ronglu, you have been with me for so many years, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent. There is a reward."

He pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it into Ronglu's hands.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your reward." Ronglu was overjoyed. He held the jade pendant tightly and knelt down quickly.

This jade pendant costs over a thousand taels of silver.

"I think Shang Yue is just too ignorant, that's why he was so bewitched by a woman."

"That queen's color is definitely not as good as our Bi Liu's."

He reached out and pulled Biliu into his arms, holding her waist with one hand and lifting her chin with the other.

The woman who originally had a cold face had a blush on her cheeks, and a flash of love appeared in the depths of her eyes.

The big hand that was holding the chin moved back from the woman's jaw until it embraced the woman's head. Looking at the man who was slowly approaching, Biliu's body trembled with excitement.

Seeing this, everyone in the room retreated and closed the door.

Soon, inappropriate noises were heard in the room.

At this time, a woman with a dignified appearance and dressed in red walked towards Qingfengyuan.

As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by the guards.

"Greetings, Princess. The prince has something important to do now, and no one is allowed to disturb him. If the princess has anything to do, you can tell me, and I will inform you when you are done."

Feng Qingqing's face turned pale, and her originally decent expression froze for a moment.

What important matter? I'm afraid he is favoring someone in there!

She regained her dignified and proper demeanor and said calmly, "I asked the kitchen to make something to cool off. Since the prince is busy, forget it."

Feng Qingqing clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves and turned away with her maid.

.........

Before they knew it, a month had passed and the people in the charity had already adapted to life here.

Get up on time every day, have breakfast, study, work...

Nan Yan bought 60 acres of land and planted 50 acres of wheat, 3 acres of radishes, 3 acres of cabbages, 3 acres of carrots, and 1 acre of seasonal vegetables.

Now that the wheat is gradually ripening, they have entered the busy autumn harvest.

They work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise. By the time they finish dinner, the sky has already darkened.

Some people in the cafeteria were washing pots and pans, while others were pulling radishes in the fields.

These radishes were used to make radish soup the next morning.

The women were pulling radishes when suddenly a greasy male voice came from behind them.

"You must be tired after cooking for hundreds of people. We brothers are here to help you pick vegetables."

The women turned around and saw more than a dozen men approaching them.

Several people looked at each other with some fear.

On weekdays, in order to prevent someone from scooping away the thick porridge, they scoop rice for everyone every day.

Almost every day, they could feel malicious gazes from these few people, but they thought that the rules of the charity were so strict that they would not dare to take action.

Unexpectedly, they would suddenly show up tonight.

The women still had hope in their hearts that they might not dare to do it! They could not show any fear first.

Someone immediately said, "No, we have already picked most of the fruits. We don't need you."

After she finished speaking, she winked at the others, and they all stood up, picked up their baskets and prepared to leave.

"Hey, don't go!"

"We can help you carry it after you pick it!"

Several people were surrounded by men.

"Get out of the way! Have you forgotten the rules of the charity?"

"What rules? You must really want to do that! We are just helping each other, not bullying you."

"Ma Zi is right. You are already over 30 and still don't have a man. I'm sure you miss him a lot at night!"

"The moonlight is so beautiful today, we must not let it go to waste.

"..."

They were so bold because they felt that if they forced themselves on these women, they would not dare to tell anyone for the sake of their reputation.

By then, they will be able to ask them for service frequently.

When the women heard these insulting words, they were so angry that their bodies trembled.

"Get lost."

Seeing that they were unmoved, they looked at each other and pounced on them.

"Ah... Help! Help!"

The women were so frightened that they cried for help in panic. However, this place was some distance away from the charity hall, and their mouths were quickly covered by the men, so they could not ask for help.

"Uh huh~"

They fought back with all their might, but in the end they were no match for the men and some of them were pinned down.
