Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

Time flies, and Chen Xi has been in this world for more than three years. After he left the mourning period and Sheng Hong was promoted, he moved to Bianjing with his family.

In Bianjing, Sheng Hong, a fifth-rank official, was really nothing.

Sheng Hong also felt the gap between Bianjing and Yangzhou. He was more cautious in being a person and an official, and dared not offend anyone easily. There were too many powerful people in Bianjing.

When Chen Xi submitted his visiting card again, the Sheng family received him more solemnly than the last time.

Sheng Hong knew very well how important it was to have a good relationship with the marquis when being an official in Bianjing. He also wanted to show his colleagues that he was not without connections.

Generally speaking, only powerful nobles can be backed by others. For example, a young man like Anping Hou, who had no real power, was looked down upon by others.

Although he has no real power, Chen Xi has connections. Everyone knows that he has a close relationship with the crown prince Zhao Xi, and he also manages the crown prince's personal army. He is definitely a confidant of the future official.

This makes Chen Xi quite prestigious in Bianjing City, and no one dares to look down on him because of his young age.

Sheng Hong had already found out about these things. For him, a fifth-rank official, the Anping Marquisate is a big and thick leg.

Chen Xi also met the younger generation of the Sheng family again. They have grown up a lot after more than three years.

Sheng Molan was the happiest. Although she had corresponded with her cousin, she had never seen him.

Sheng Changfeng's expression was not very good. He would feel scared when he saw Chen Xi reflexively. That incident had a great impact on him.

Sheng Changbai, Sheng Rulan and Sheng Minglan, the three people have a very ordinary relationship with Chen Xi. They are just familiar faces and can recognize each other when they meet. There is no personal relationship.

As for the youngest Sheng Changsong, he didn't know Chen Xi at all.

In the main hall, Sheng Hong was the one who was talking to Chen Xi, and Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng were there to accompany him, occasionally saying a few words.

They were talking about the affairs of Bianjing City, and Sheng Hong was not very clear about many situations. Chen Xi's few suggestions could help Sheng Hong avoid many detours.

After not seeing each other for more than three years, Sheng Hong also found that the majesty of Anping Hou was heavier. It was hard to tell that he was a half-grown boy. It could only be said that he was a born noble.

The few people talked until dinner time. Sheng Hong arranged a family dinner again. This time, the whole Sheng family did not need to go out. Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan could accompany them.

Sheng Changfeng also accompanied them obediently. Whether he was willing or not, he looked normal on the surface.

Chen Xi smiled slightly. Sheng Changfeng had grown up a lot and was much more stable than when he was a child.

I have said what I should say all day, but I don't know if Sheng Changfeng can listen to it. If he comes to Bianjing and still finds those bad friends, then no one can save him.

Sheng Molan has changed the most, and it is also because Chen Xi has laid a good foundation for her. She has read all the things left for her.

Lin Qinshuang has not changed much. Her personality has been fixed. She still likes to pester her Honglang, but she doesn't easily provoke Wang Ruofu. Now she is thinking about her daughter entering the palace.

Sheng Hong doesn't know about this yet.

After dinner, Sheng Hong took Sheng Changfeng away with great tact, letting Lin Qinshuang and Chen Xi, his nephew, reminisce about the past.

Lin Qinshuang, Sheng Molan and Chen Xi talked about the follow-up plan.

"My cousin is getting cuter and cuter." Chen Xi nodded, expressing his satisfaction: "Next, I will prepare some things for you. You must learn them thoroughly."

"Cousin, is it difficult?" Sheng Molan was a little scared. What her cousin asked her to learn was really brain-consuming.

"If it's difficult, won't you learn it?" Chen Xi asked back.

"I will learn it well." Sheng Molan replied with a bitter face. She has come this far. She can't give up halfway, right?

Lin Qinshuang felt a little sorry for her daughter, but when she thought of entering the palace, she could only be cruel and watch her daughter roll up her sleeves every day.

Privately, Lin Qinshuang also thought about whether her daughter could marry her nephew as his wife if she didn't enter the palace. Being the head lady of the Anping Marquis's Mansion didn't seem to be much worse than entering the palace as a concubine, right?

Chen Xi was very good to Mo'er, there was no doubt about that.

Lin Qinshuang also asked indirectly, and the conclusion she came to was not very good. She just regarded Sheng Molan as her sister, and she had no other thoughts.

Without Lin Qinshuang's brainwashing, Sheng Molan would not have thought so much. Under the influence of Chen Xi, she determined that her goal was to enter the palace as a favorite concubine, and she never thought that she would be with her cousin.

In addition to the atmosphere today, Lin Qinshuang saw it and said, forget it.

In Sheng Hong's place, Chen Xi talked about the affairs between men in Bianjing City.

In Lin Qinshuang's place, Chen Xi talked about the affairs of the families of the rich and powerful families in Bianjing City. For him, it was not difficult to find out this information.

These were not said for Lin Qinshuang to hear. As a concubine, she was not qualified to go out and socialize.

Chen Xi mainly said this to Sheng Molan. In the future, when Wang Ruofu took the daughter of the Sheng family out to socialize, at least she had to know who was on the other side.

"This is also a kind of training for you. Learn how to interact with those people. They are no more difficult to deal with than the empresses in the palace."

"As for how to control the prince's heart, it depends on you. I can only provide you with assistance."

"After entering the palace, you have to figure out what you really want. You can compete for favor, but don't expect the emperor's love."

"If you hold the idea of ​​'one life, one couple', then don't enter the palace. You will be the only one who suffers."

"Since you have decided to enter the palace, start learning the rules. Remember not to let anyone find fault with you."

"I will help you infiltrate the prince's affairs little by little. Don't be in a hurry now. You are still a little girl."

"I am not against you being sincere. I just want to tell you that you can be sincere, but don't be in love."

"Don't understand what you mean?"

"It's okay. I will write you some stories later, and you will know the harm of being in love."

Sheng Molan listened obediently. She knew that it was absolutely okay to trust her cousin, but her cousin's stories... were too brain-burning.

Sheng Molan has grown up after all. Chen Xi can no longer take her out to play like before. What she needs to do is to study hard in the Sheng family instead of going out to show her face.

Whether she can go out to socialize depends on Wang Ruofu.

This time, Chen Xi did not stay for too long. He said goodbye and left soon. When he returned home, he sent someone to give Sheng Molan the things he had prepared before.

The reason why he did not take her to visit was to see if Sheng Molan's mind had changed.

If Sheng Molan doesn't want to enter the palace, then it doesn't matter whether she learns what he prepared or not.

Sheng Molan received a lot of information from her cousin, and it was a headache to read it, especially "Psychology", which she had never heard of, but after reading it, she found it was amazing.

The other information was related to acting.

Sheng Molan understood it immediately. If she could understand psychology thoroughly, guess the emperor's mind, and combine it with superb acting skills, the position of favorite concubine would be stable.

On the other hand, Chen Xi and the prince also have a close relationship. The two of them have a bit of a childhood friend feeling, and often get together to talk and chat.

After Kawakami Tomie, the prince has another close friend. If he has any troubles, he also likes to talk to Chen Xi. He thinks Anping Hou is really a wonderful person, and many of his views are very novel.

For example, the prince can't tell her about Kawakami Tomie, and can only find Chen Xi.

As an adolescent boy, he has a full favorability for Kawakami Tomie. Even if she is much older than him, it is easy for the relationship to deteriorate.

The prince was very distressed about this matter and asked Chen Xi privately.

Chen Xi's answer was very simple: "Your Highness, this matter depends on what Doctor Fu thinks. If she is willing, everything is fine. If she is not willing, you don't want to offend a genius doctor with extraordinary medical skills."

The prince suddenly realized, yes!

If he forced Tomie, it would be like pushing the person he trusted most to the enemy. If Tomie secretly gave him some medicine or something, he would not be able to survive.

In front of his life, that lust disappeared instantly.

The prince also figured out why his father didn't miss a beauty like Tomie at all.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare.

The emperor is most afraid that there are concubines in the harem who can do medicine. Concubines with medical skills, or concubines with palace maids with medical skills, are taboos in the harem.

A genius doctor like Kawakami Tomie is a red line that must not be touched. If she doesn't like it, no one dares to force her to do anything.

The prince gave up the idea of ​​Kawakami Tomie and only used her as a confidant. In his heart, Tomie was more trustworthy than Anping Hou.

This was naturally influenced by Princess Xiangxiang's charm. The prince gave all the secret guards in his hands to Kawakami Tomie to command. In the future, he was also going to give the Imperial City Division to Tomie.

The prince had already thought about it. Tomie managed the Imperial City Division and supervised the civil and military officials, while Chen Xi managed the army and intimidated the civil and military officials. They complemented each other.

At the same time, there were other imperial guards in his hands to check and balance Chen Xi's army, so that he could ensure his own safety.

Chen Xi had already seen the prince's little thoughts and didn't mind. Any emperor would do this, which was not surprising.

These things did not affect the personal relationship between the prince and Chen Xi. When two adolescent boys got together, the topic of chatting could easily go off topic.

The prince has reached the age where he is interested in girls, but the government is strict with him, so he dare not mess around with his maid.

If he doesn't understand something, the prince likes to ask Chen Xi.

Chen Xi: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Your Highness, I am younger than you and have no experience in this area."

"Then you are better than me. You are the Marquis of the Marquisate. No one above you can control you. It's just a matter of a word."

"A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its nest. Your Highness, no matter what, I will never do anything to the maid around me."

"Okay, let's not talk about the maid, let's talk about your marriage. When you are old enough, let your father grant you a marriage?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's see when the time comes. The main thing is that I don't have anyone I like."

"Aren't they all parents' orders and matchmakers' words? Why do you still want to "You should take a look for yourself first?"

"Of course I have to take a look. What if I marry someone I don't like? How can I live like this?"

"You are... a bit unorthodox."

"Your Highness, this is about marrying a wife. If you marry someone you don't like, can you live with a woman you don't like for the rest of your life?"

"Marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine. At worst, you can take a few concubines you like in the future."

"Let's talk about it later. I'm still young and there's no rush."

The two continued chatting, and soon the topic turned to the daughters of officials in the city of Bianjing. They were all kept in the back house, which was really rare.

Chen Xi took the opportunity to talk about the Sheng family. He was also quite emotional: "I have lived in Bianjing for so many years, and the only female relatives I have seen are my cousins."

"You have a cousin? How come I have never heard you talk about it?"

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that I am a bastard? My biological mother is a concubine, not from a famous family. My aunt is also a concubine, and my cousin is a bastard. What can I say?"

The prince did not speak. Strictly speaking, he is also a bastard, but he is lucky. The current official has no other sons.

In this regard, the prince and Chen Xi have a lot in common. Both of them are lucky.

One picked up the throne, and the other picked up the marquis.

Chen Xi did not say much, but accidentally revealed to the prince that he had a cousin.

The more he talked with the prince, the clearer Chen Xi knew the prince's preferences. It may be influenced by Kawakami Tomie. The prince's preference is this type.

This is a bit difficult.

Sheng Molan can never reach the level of Kawakami Tomie.

Chen Xi can only transform Sheng Molan as much as possible and change Sheng Molan in the direction of Kawakami Tomie.

Kawakami Tomie has already prepared all the things that should be prepared for Sheng Molan, including various skin care products, soups to improve physical fitness and promote development, so that Sheng Molan will grow up to be a woman with big breasts, hips and wine glass legs.

Kawakami Tomie is a succubus, bright and beautiful, so Sheng Molan can't go the way of a cold beauty, and these also need to be transformed little by little.

When the prince suddenly wanted to find Chen Xi one day, Kawakami Tomie contacted her boss in advance.

Chen Xi immediately sent someone to the Sheng family to invite Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan to come as guests. It happened that there were many beautiful flowers blooming in the yard of his mansion, and the reason was ready, to enjoy the flowers.

It was much more convenient to come to Anping Marquis Mansion from Sheng's house than for the prince to leave the palace. Before the prince arrived, Lin Qinshuang had already brought Sheng Molan to Chen Xi's house.

The three of them had a tacit understanding. After they arrived, Chen Xi talked with Lin Qinshuang in the main hall, and Sheng Molan played alone in the mansion.

When the prince arrived, he saw Sheng Molan with light makeup, delicate features, lovely eyebrows and eyes, and a hint of charm.

Sheng Molan brought her maid, and the prince brought the eunuch and guards, and the two sides met just like that.

After Sheng Molan looked at the prince for a few seconds, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly saluted: "Greetings, Your Highness."

The prince raised his eyebrows: "Oh? How did you recognize me?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, this is the Anping Marquis's Mansion. As far as I know, only Your Highness can enter the Marquis's Mansion without notifying him."

"Hahaha!" The prince laughed loudly. She was a smart girl and asked, "Who are you?"

"My father is Sheng Hong, the Minister of Rites."

The prince thought for a moment and remembered what Chen Xi said before: "Are you the humble cousin?!"
