Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 488: A Stranger’s Rise to Power (End)

In this selection, the number of beauties entering the palace reached the highest level in history.

Of course, there were also quite a few who were finally retained and canonized as concubines.

As for Shen Yao, there was nothing she could remind Yu Sheng of. After all, how she lived her life depended on herself, and whether she could get a good result also depended on the situation.

'In the end, Liu was canonized as the queen, and the other two were named imperial concubine and virtuous concubine.' The three of them checked each other and had already become a force before they even entered the palace.

"Host, this Liu family man," the system shook its head, indicating that it was not okay for young people to choose people based on their appearance.

Shen Yao:......

"Whether it will work or not, we have to wait for someone to enter the palace to find out. Besides, it was Yu Sheng who made the suggestion himself. Since I have said I will not care, there is no reason for me to interfere." Even if Liu's family background is flawed and she may not be able to help Yu Sheng, these are just speculations and there is no conclusion. We cannot sentence her guilty.

system:……

This is indeed the case with the System Heart Theory. The discussion between the two is based on years of experience, but it does not rule out that some people may be exceptions.

We can’t use the results of the majority to demand that everyone should be the same. What if?

'But I still don't think they will have a good future,' Even though Yu Sheng said it coldly, people will develop feelings for each other after spending a long time together. If Liu made a mistake one day, could Yu Sheng really treat it rationally without any emotion involved?

Until that day comes, no one can predict what the final outcome will be.

Shen Yao took the list of titles given to the concubines in the Qianqing Palace from Hong Guo, and instructed the Imperial Household Department to repair the palace and assign palace servants. Half a month later, the concubines began to move into the palace one after another, and the wedding ceremony of the emperor and empress, which was under the charge of the Imperial Household Department, also came to an end.

Shen Yao waited until the emperor and empress got married and met the concubines in Yu Sheng's harem before packing her bags and leaving the palace with many of the previous emperor's concubines.

Therefore, Liu, who had just become the queen, ran over to apologize to Shen Yao in fear and trepidation.

She was worried that she had accidentally offended the Empress Dowager, and was even more afraid that she would leave a bad impression in front of the Emperor.

After all, even Liu herself did not expect that she would stand out among so many beautiful girls and become the queen. But when she really became the queen, she was reluctant to give up the benefits she had gained.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Once you enter the palace, the emperor will have more people to talk to on a daily basis," Shen Yao said whatever she wanted, causing Liu to have some wild thoughts.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law has just entered the palace and is not familiar with some palace affairs yet. You" actually left so abruptly, which is not in line with objective laws.

Isn't it said that the Queen Mother and the Empress are two different camps, and will eventually fight over power? Why does my mother-in-law act in the opposite way to ordinary people, handing over palace power as she pleases and leaving the palace as she pleases?

Now that there is no empress dowager in the palace who needs constant attention, can I act more freely?

Thinking of the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine who entered the palace at the same time as her and whose family backgrounds were superior to hers, Liu couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. It wasn't Yu Sheng's fault, but she just felt unhappy!

Shen Yao looked at the queen's ever-changing face and sighed in her heart.

There is a high probability that Yu Sheng lost the bet.

"I'm not here. If you don't understand something, you can discuss it with others." There's no need to count on her. Besides, there has always been a saying that a new emperor appoints new ministers.

Even though her words carry more weight than those of the empress dowager at the moment, the situation will be reversed once the empress gives birth to an imperial heir and a legitimate son. After all, this is Yu Sheng's harem, and Shen Yao will leave the stage sooner or later.

Queen:......

The Queen didn't come here to really keep Shen Yao. First, she did it for the harem to see, second, she did it for Yu Sheng to see, and third, she did it to protect her own reputation.

Seeing that Shen Yao's decision to leave the palace could not be changed, the Queen simply ordered people to send all kinds of supplies related to food, clothing, and transportation, all as a way to save her face.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao didn't say anything, but Yu Xi was the first to express dissatisfaction, thinking that the queen was too snobbish and that she specifically chose to come over to give gifts when there were many people around, as if she was afraid that the queen didn't know.

"Why bother so much? It won't hurt her anyway, just let her be."

Being young and not close to his family, Liu only learned some self-protection techniques.

It is not wrong to protect yourself when living in the palace, but as a queen you should shoulder other responsibilities.

"My daughter doesn't like the sister-in-law chosen by my brother," She is not as good as the two little sisters-in-law, who are much more sincere whether they are sending gifts or talking to each other.

Shen Yao reluctantly reached out and tapped Yu Xi's head, "She's the queen whether you like her or not.

Keep this in mind. I will be leaving the palace and will not be back for a while. You should stay at the princess's place and keep an eye on everything. If anything happens, don't forget to tell your brother."

Even though Shen Yao was not in the palace, she was still very relieved that Yu Xi lived in the princess's residence.

Yu Sheng and Yu Xi have a good relationship. They grew up together for many years and have a brother-sister relationship. Unless Yu Xi is desperate and wants to compete with Yu Sheng for the throne, there is no way they can break up.

Yu Xi nodded obediently, pulled Shen Yao's arm and acted coquettishly, and promised that she would go out of the palace to visit Shen Yao when she was free.

"As for you, if you don't make trouble, I can have a few more years of leisurely life." Compared with Yu Sheng, who has been steady since childhood, Yu Xi is a very energetic child. Even after moving from Fengyi Palace to the princess' residence, he is still the most beautiful scenery in the entire harem.

Yu Xi pouted when she heard that, saying that she had been well-behaved since she was a child and that was why she didn't make any noise.

The mother and daughter talked together until a palace maid came in to report that the queen had come to pay her respects with the imperial concubine and others.

Shen Yao instantly became serious and gestured for Yu Xi to go into the hall and rest, then turned around and asked Hong Guo to lead the Queen and the others in.

Yu Xi: ...Imperial sister-in-law, you're such a jerk. You've already said you don't like it~

Yu Xi didn't like it and didn't want to affect Liu's position as queen. After Shen Yao took many concubines out of the palace, Liu felt more comfortable as queen.

Apart from the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine who were still an eyesore, the Queen felt that she had no worries.

"But we should prepare and give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible." Only with a legitimate son can she sit firmly on the throne of Queen. Not forgetting how the Emperor came to the throne, the Queen looked at the maid who brought the medicine for fertility, raised her head and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Tsk, the Queen is too anxious to drink the fertility soup so early."

What's more, the Empress and the Emperor are in good health and there is no problem that will affect their fertility. Moreover, the Emperor stays in the Fengyi Palace most often every month. The Empress will give birth to an heir sooner or later, so why should she drink the fertility soup which is three-part poison?

"You must be worried. I heard that a concubine in the harem is pregnant, so I'm worried."

The system likes to eavesdrop on gossip. Even if it lives with Shen Yao, it still knows what's going on in the palace.

It has only been half a year since one person came out to unify the system, but the system has already uncovered a lot of inside information about the palace, including but not limited to the affairs of Yu Xi's concubines who were competing for favor with each other.

'She is the queen. As long as she doesn't do anything harmful to the world, she is the legitimate mother of all the royal heirs.' Even if she has no heirs, she can still become the queen mother. Besides, Liu is not even seventeen years old, so why rush?

Shen Yao really didn't understand. It wasn't that she was just talking without any worries, but the ranking of the royal heirs, which was fought for the first and second place, was really useless.

"First, there is no guarantee of whether the heir is a boy or a girl; second, there is no certainty of his talents; and third, there is no certainty that he will grow up." Therefore, it doesn't matter when the child is born, because having a prince is the most insignificant thing, and the other requirements that follow are more stringent than this.

"Those involved are often confused, but those who are not involved can see things clearly." The system thinks that if everyone can figure it out, why would there be an incident of harming the royal heir in the harem?

"We made the right decision to leave the palace. Staying in the palace means we have to deal with the mess." She has been managing the harem of the late emperor for more than ten years and is already tired of it. Yu Sheng's harem? Let's leave it to her cheap daughter-in-law.

I hope this cheap daughter-in-law can really think it through. She doesn't want their relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be just temporary, not forever.

Liu, who was still in the palace, did not receive Shen Yao's good wishes.

I don’t know if it was bad luck or the magnetic field was not compatible, but for three whole years, even the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine were pregnant and gave birth to a princess each, but the Queen’s belly still showed no movement.

At this time, Yu Sheng already had an outstanding record of three sons and five daughters. Although his sons' mothers were not of high birth, he had nothing to worry about.

He was even more considerate and understanding towards the empress, never urging her, blaming her or getting angry. Instead, the empress got stuck in a rut and became addicted to all kinds of tonics every day, which made her waist bigger.

Shen Yao:......

Because the queen acted too outrageously and childishly, the emperor asked Shen Yao to return to the palace to persuade her.

Considering her good relationship with her son, Shen Yao diligently acted as a lobbyist, and even after nearly wearing out her tongue, she still failed to persuade the queen who was going further and further astray.

"This man is hopeless," Shen Yao gave up, whispered a few words to Yu Sheng, and left the palace again.

Of course, Shen Yao was alone when she came back, but when she left, she brought Yu Xi, who was preparing to get married, with her.

Yu Xi, who had already decided on her husband a year ago, has become more stable recently. Considering that the mess in the palace would affect Yu Xi's mood for preparing for her marriage, Shen Yao simply took her out of the palace to relax and cultivate Yu Xi's survival ability to avoid being deceived after getting married.

"Mother, I wouldn't do that." The candidate was chosen by Shen Yao and Yu Sheng together, but there is no guarantee that he will always be good.

"I'm just afraid that you'll be cheated in the future, and your mother won't be able to stay with you forever."

You have to rely more on yourself. Like Yu Sheng, if this guy hadn't tried hard to help the queen, Shen Yao wouldn't have to return to the palace at all.

"Mother"

Yu Xi didn't want to hear Shen Yao say this because it would make her feel panicky. Living under the protection of her mother and her brother, Yu Xi was like a child who never grew up. Even after getting married and having children, she still couldn't change her temperament.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, it's not easy to come out here, let's just have fun."

Once you get married, you will be bound to a certain world, and even if you are a princess you cannot change anything.

Shen Yao felt sorry for the women of this era. No matter whether it was Yu Xi or Liu, they were unable to break free of the shackles on their bodies, nor could they see a wider world.

By letting Yu Xi spend more time with the concubines in the villa, Shen Yao is simply raising her daughter with the best of all families. She doesn't ask Yu Xi to really become smart and understand everything, but she hopes that she can have some understanding, so that she can feel more at ease when she leaves this world in the future.

A year later, Yu Xi happily got married. Shen Yao saw her daughter off in the palace and turned her attention to the pregnant queen.

Liu's situation was not very good. She was a woman over 20 years old and had no parents-in-law to bother her. She should have lived a harmonious and comfortable life.

But Liu managed to make herself look ten years older.

"Empress, I have been staying in the palace for a while. You have been busy lately. Go back and rest."

Don't stay outside and wait for others to plot against you. Shen Yao can't understand why you would go to such lengths just for an unknown heir of the royal family.

Liu thanked Shen Yao openly for staying in the palace for her help, but secretly she felt that Shen Yao was deliberately trying to seize her power. Liu had not been happy with her offspring in recent years, but she was happy in other aspects. Now that the Queen Mother has returned, the impact is not a little bit.

So?

Liu didn't want to give up power. Even though she was pregnant, she wanted to hold on to several important powers. When Yu Sheng came to ask her, she said that she couldn't bear to let Shen Yao be busy.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao watched the queen's suicidal behavior coldly. She left the palace when she was three months pregnant, and was invited back by Yu Sheng six months after she was pregnant.

Liu had no choice but to give up power because her health was too poor. Such high-intensity behavior during pregnancy would be gambling with her own life and that of her child.

With Shen Yao's help, the queen was able to preserve her pregnancy until premature delivery in August, and after much difficulty, she gave birth to a prince.

"The child is in poor health and has the sequelae of premature birth. If he is carefully taken care of, he may grow up safely. But if the Queen uses too much force, the child may not live long."

"Host, you won't help?" There are many pills for strengthening the body in their space.

'This is the responsibility of parents. Besides, poor health is not necessarily a bad thing.'

Given Liu's obsession, she would fight for the child as soon as his health improved. Would she even go all the way to escort the child to the throne? Don't dream!

Shen Yao has never been so devoted to Yu Sheng, so it is not worth it for her to be his grandchild who is only related by blood.

There are imperial doctors in the palace to take good care of the child. Besides, the child's parents are both there, so he does not need a grandmother like Shen Yao.

When the child was one month old and his health improved, Shen Yao neatly returned the power to the queen and left the palace with her people.

From then on, Shen Yao rarely set foot in the palace except during the New Year and other festivals.

And everything that happened in the palace had nothing to do with Shen Yao, the empress dowager who was always far away from right and wrong.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and time goes on.

Old lives are constantly passing away and new lives are constantly being born in the harem.

Yu Sheng can be considered a good king both in politics and in emotions.

He is impartial in governing, with just the right amount of emotion, and although he and the Queen have a close friendship as youngsters, he is not overly tolerant of them.

When the queen's legitimate son suffered several serious illnesses and was almost dying, the queen finally gave up her so-called obsession and lived her life behind closed doors.

During this period, Shen Yao returned to the palace twice and talked with several high-ranking concubines in the palace. Whether these people were perfunctory or sincere, they were all conveying the signal to Shen Yao that they would be honest and do their duty.

After all, if the queen withdraws from the competition for the throne, there will be greater hope for their offspring.

Who doesn’t want to sit in that coveted position? We are all ordinary people.

'They will not be honest, they will fight harder,' and even break the bottom line, just for more possibilities.

'Yes, it is an inevitable situation,' it cannot be stopped and cannot be prevented.

Looking sideways at the palace that is getting farther and farther away, there has never been a moment that is more profound than what I realize now. A new storm has arrived.

Who will be the final winner? We can only wait for the results to be revealed.
