Views:

When Xiao Yuanzhao returned to the palace, he ordered people to check the details of Chen Taifu's eldest granddaughter, and found that this woman was indeed very strange.

The woman's name is Chen Wanqing. When her biological mother was dying, she was afraid that she would be neglected by her stepmother, so she was sent to the foster care of her grandparents. She has been weak and sick for many years, but she suddenly recovered half a year ago. She said that it was a fairy dream, and her biological mother prayed for her blessing in the underworld, and she will have a great fortune in the future.

She insisted on going to Beijing, but her grandfather's family had no choice but to send her back. After that, she won the love of her grandfather and grandmother, outwitted her stepmother and cousin, and showed her amazing talent at gatherings in Beijing. Because of her intelligence, the family allowed her to open a shop and take care of it herself. The jewelry she designed was ingenious and quickly became famous. I heard that she is planning to open a "beauty salon" recently, which is a place dedicated to helping ladies and ladies become beautiful. With her good skin as an example, many women have already ordered the "opening package" in advance.

According to the investigation by the hidden guards, she had expressed to her grandmother in private that she wanted to enter the palace and become a queen. If she can only be in a low position when she first enters the palace, she will definitely be able to climb up to a lower position in the future. I hope that Taifu Chen can help her and get a higher position for her.

Xiao Yuanzhao is very unfamiliar with the words "beauty salon" and "opening package", and he is more and more curious about the so-called "modern". However, Chen Wanqing executed the maid who offended her in private, knowing that Chu Xiang was about to seal the queen and return Xiao Xiang's position as empress, which already touched his rebellious scale.

He was not polite at all, and directly declared Grand Tutor Chen into the palace, and ordered him to explain why Chen Wanqing was so different. If the explanation is not clear, then who knows if Chen Wanqing is a spy sent by the enemy country

Chen Taifu broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty. That day when he heard his granddaughter go home and say that he met the emperor, the emperor had a good impression of her and believed it, thinking that he could really have a favorite concubine. Looking at it now, how can the emperor have a good impression? This clearly wants the life of the granddaughter!

He could explain that Chen Wanqing became enlightened when she grew up, and that she became beautiful only when her health improved, but he couldn't explain what Chen Wanqing made. The mask and glass mirror prepared by the beauty salon cannot be hidden from others. This is not something that a boudoir girl can make casually without research. Chen Wanqing's maternal ancestral home didn't even have these in the place where her ancestral home was located, so how could Chen Wanqing know it

The more Chen Taifu explained, the more frightened he became. He hadn't been suspicious in the past, but Chen Wanqing has made a lot of money, and being famous is only good for the Chen family. If she can become a favorite concubine, it will bring great wealth to the Chen family, and there is no harm. Therefore, he has never pursued these details, and now being questioned by the emperor, he only has two words in his mind - it's over.

Xiao Yuanzhao kept looking at him with a cold face, and when he was speechless, he said indifferently: "This woman is not a real daughter of the Chen family, but a fake one. You send her to the palace immediately, and someone will interrogate her."

Chen Taifu was startled, did not dare to say more, and left in response, sending Chen Wanqing into the palace as quickly as possible.

Chen Wanqing was pleasantly surprised and thought that the emperor fell in love with her at first sight, and couldn't wait to see her, complaining to the system along the way that she didn't change into the best clothes. As a result, as soon as she entered the palace, before she had a good look at what the palace looked like, she was taken into a secret room by several hidden guards who suddenly appeared.

Xiao Yuanzhao didn't show up at all, and it was very easy for his subordinates to tell people to tell the truth, otherwise, if he had to use mind reading skills for interrogation, then he wouldn't be an emperor anymore.

He thought this woman was malicious, and she had malicious intentions towards him and Chu Xiang, and even hinted in her words that she would be the biological mother of the next emperor in the future. Xiao Yuanzhao hated him so much that he didn't pay attention to him after he was arrested, and he didn't mention it to Chu Xiang.

The regent has fallen, and he holds the imperial power in his hands. Now the most important thing to do is to benefit the country and the people. The subjects of the world are convinced by him, and other things must be left behind.

Chu Xiang asked Qiankunjing to monitor Chen Wanqing, wanting to see if there was anything unusual about her, and within two days of monitoring, Chen Wanqing was locked up. She was a little surprised, that day she still thought that Xiao Yuanzhao could hear Chen Wanqing's heartfelt voice, and Chen Wanqing was so beautiful, and she behaved so well-mannered, maybe Xiao Yuanzhao would admit her into the palace after discovering her abnormality, and then find an excuse not to touch her.

She didn't expect Xiao Yuanzhao to be so indifferent to people with abnormalities. She watched with interest how the guard interrogated Chen Wanqing. She found that the hidden guards did not hurt Chen Wanqing, but tortured her with feathers on the soles of her feet, which made her extremely itchy; tied her to a rotating stake and spun wildly, causing her to faint and vomit. There are many other methods that torture people in this way.

At first, Chen Wanqing's mouth was very hard, her eyes were also stern, and she unknowingly broke the rope that tied her again, spilled the powder and knocked down a hidden guard. It's a pity that the hidden guards are very strict. Chen Wanqing didn't know where they were hiding, and she was arrested again in the blink of an eye, and then "tortured" her non-stop, studying where her medicine powder came from, and where the sharp weapon that cut the rope came from. Come.

After repeating this several times, Chen Wanqing couldn't hold on any longer, she gave in mentally, and finally realized the horror of imperial power. This is not playing a game, this is the real ancient royal family, and the emperor is not an NPC she randomly raids, she exposed her abnormality, and this is what she got.

She regretted that she went up to talk to the emperor when she ran into him that day, but after thinking about it, the emperor was so suspicious, even if she never met him, she would still show her feet when she entered the palace in the future. She didn't hide her ability too much in Jiangnan, Now it's useless to make up for it.

Chen Wanqing explained everything, including her identity in modern times, how she binds to the system, what the system can do, and what it looks like in modern times, and her guess that Chu Xiang is a time traveler.

Xiao Yuanzhao gave the secret guards a password-free order, ordering them not to reveal the guess that Chu Xiang was a traverser at any time and under any circumstances. Then he compared it carefully, and felt that Chu Xiang's changes were not obvious. He felt that Chu Xiang was different from before because he could hear Chu Xiang's inner voice. From the surface, Chu Xiang had always been like that.

Moreover, Chu Xiang was extremely familiar with everything in ancient times, and there were no strange things beyond this era in the shop he opened to sell clothes and jewelry, and even the accounting method was not the Arabic numerals that Chen Wanqing said.

Everything about Chu Xiang can be traced, and now he is generous and cheerful, probably because he is in love with him, and he no longer cares about pretending to be an invisible person in a low-key manner, and then sneaked out of the palace. Although Chu Xiang's skill and ability of dispensing medicine cannot be explained, Xiao Yuanzhao felt that she must be different from Chen Wanqing.

After Chen Wanqing confided everything, Xiao Yuanzhao placed her in a remote small courtyard and ordered those hidden guards to guard her and not allow her to step out of the courtyard. Then she made good use of her system and recorded every day Her description of modern times ordered people to sort out the information that is beneficial to this dynasty.

Seeing that Xiao Yuanzhao had done everything he could, Chu Xiang ignored Chen Wanqing. She wanted to do something, but she didn't want to bring in too many modern things. Ever since she decided to stay as a queen, she began to read the history books of this world and understand the situation of the people in this dynasty. Now she has determined that the most helpful thing for this dynasty is to develop agriculture.

People depend on food, especially in this dynasty where people will starve to death, increasing food production is the most important thing. With food as the foundation, many other things have room for development.

So Chu Xiang acted on a whim, and after destroying the medicinal materials in the warehouse, he asked someone to open up a small open space to plant medicinal materials, and then because the palace people and gardeners didn't know much about planting medicinal materials, he lost interest again and pulled them out. Drop medicinal materials and plant food.

Xiao Yuanzhao could hear her voice, and found that she was just bored and interested in this, so he let her go, and specially picked a big garden for her, and specially found a woman who was good at farming to come to the palace to accompany her in farming, Just play with her.

The three concubines were simply at a loss for this change, they had already seen it on the day Concubine Xi had an accident, the emperor really liked the imperial concubine, they couldn't compare in any way. If they want to compete for favor, they can't even see the emperor's face; if they want to harm Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang often lives in the emperor's bedroom, and they are surrounded by the emperor's people, they can't even move a hair of her .

They were still wary of Chu Xiang making trouble for them, but who knew that Chu Xiang started farming as if he had forgotten about them.

The jealousy and calculations in their hearts faded away day after day, and the only thing left was unwillingness. They are not yet twenty years old, and they are all good girls. How can they be willing to wait to die in the palace alone? The emperor didn't dote on them, even if they were willing to stay in the palace, no one would care if they wanted to find something to relieve their boredom.

So when Xiao Yuanzhao finally summoned them and asked them if they would like to leave the palace and marry another, they agreed after only thinking about it for one night. They can't agree, Xiao Yuanzhao has made it clear that he will never see them again in his life, so even if they don't believe that Xiao Yuanzhao will like Chu Xiang for the rest of his life, Xiao Yuanzhao's change of heart will not change to them in the future. They will never have a good life if they stay.

So they all left, Chu Xiang was busy farming in the field, Xiao Yuanzhao only knew about it when he said he wanted to give her a surprise.

Seeing the bright smile in his eyes, Chu Xiang couldn't help laughing along with him, and said to him, "I also have a surprise for you, and you'll know what it is soon. You must like it."

Xiao Yuanzhao was quite proud of himself. He knew many of Chu Xiang's thoughts by means of his mind reading skills, and everything he did could make Chu Xiang happy. He sometimes thought that they might be the most loving empresses in history, and the deeds between them might be passed down to thousands of years later.

However, when future generations study them, they will definitely find many inconsistencies that cannot be explained, because no one will know that he can read minds, and his queen can poison the regent without anyone noticing. Maybe people in later generations will think that they are very lucky when they mention some of their experiences, and they are people favored by heaven.

The post-sealing ceremony came as scheduled, and it was extremely grand. People all over the capital were celebrating for them, and Chu Xiang became the legitimate mother of the dynasty.

Many officials looked at the blooming flowers of the Chu family, and felt envious in their hearts. After the emperor was established, he also overthrew the regent. Next, it's time to select concubines and fill the harem, right

They played together in the court hall and asked for instructions on drafting, but Xiao Yuanzhao asked Liang Zhong to read the imperial edict that had been written long ago, declaring that he would not draft a draft when he was in power, and that the three concubines in the palace would also return home and marry another. Set up a harem.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar immediately!
