WCSM 26-30

Chapter 26

Was this a green hat counterattack?

The emperor and officials couldn’t help but think.

They just heard yesterday that the Xirong Emperor had ten green hats. They were gloating over the misfortune and regretful that the system was not able to eat melons. Who would have thought that today they would hear that the Xirong Emperor would put a green hat on the emperor.

You emperors, do you all like green hat wars so much? The officials asked silently in their hearts.

It suddenly dawned on Chu Hua: [So this is how the battle between countries works. ]

This was just like the real business war, which was actually the chairman taking secret photos, snatching official seals, and puncturing the tires of competitors.

It was so simple and unpretentious that people doubt that it was fake. The wonderful business wars shot in TV dramas with all kinds of conspiracies and tricks were real.

Emperor:? ! !

Officials:? ! !

No, no, no - normal national wars were not fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield, but also calculated back and forth in the court. This was not! Absolutely not!

Don't slander their reputation!

Don't underestimate their strategies!

Unfortunately, no matter how loudly they shouted in their hearts and no matter how strong their desire to clarify themselves was, Chu Hua and the system could not hear a single word.

Chu Hua: [Last time when you ate the melon about the empress keeping a substitute concubine, you didn't tell the whole story. ]

The system felt a little aggrieved: [There are so many melons on each person, I can't finish reading them. Besides, there isn't a lot of melon energy. I dare not use them casually. ]

[This time, aren't all the clues about longevity cream, venereal disease and other diseases linked together because of Xirong? I was thinking, since they can target officials and their families, why would the empress and concubines be okay? Just a quick check...]

[Good gosh! The young man's selling himself to bury his father was fake. The dead man wrapped in the straw mat was the man who passed the venereal disease to Liu Yue. The young man also sold a wave of misery in front of the empress, saying that his father was a playboy and his mother hanged herself. He copied books while earning money to study the books. How pitiful it could be is how pitiful he’ll make it. ]

Chu Hua: "..."

[He arranged for his parents to die. Hmm, he is such a filial son. ]

Emperor: ???

Officials: ???

Such a son was filial? Was this a sarcastic remark? It must be a satire!

The system continued: [This life story is directly applied from the man with venereal disease. His family really had a son who copied books to earn money to study, but he was sold to a prostitute by his own father. ]

[Many people sell their daughters to prostitutes, but it’s very rare to sell their sons, especially their only child. The man was afraid of being criticized, so he concealed the matter and said that his son ran away. So this person benefitted. ]

Hearing this, Chu Hua was silent. The emperor and officials didn't know what to say.

To insist on copying books to earn money and study in such adversity, he must be a very tenacious person, but he was ruined by his own father.

Some fathers were really unworthy of being fathers!

Chu Hua sighed: [People always demand filial piety from their children, but never demand kindness from their parents. ]

[It's not that giving birth to a child is enough. He is a flesh-and-blood person. It’s impossible for him to grow up by drinking wind and dew. Is it possible that he survived by himself...]

[Forget it, let's not talk about it. ] Hearing such a scumbag, Chu Hua was a little bored, [Go on. ]

The melon-eating system felt a little embarrassed: [Elder Sister Hua, this person is from Xirong. You and the empress are strangers to begin with and this person has taken many turns, so the melon is a bit expensive. ]

[After the shift, let's go to the place where the empress placed the substitute concubine and find a chance to get to know him and get closer. Then buy it? It could save a lot of melon energy. ]

Chu Hua thought for a moment: [That's fine. ]

Officials:? ! !

She was fine, but they weren't!

How could she stop eating melons halfway? Such a big melon!

How did the empress keep a substitute concubine? How did the Xirong Emperor put the green hat on the Dasheng Emperor? She should tell them more about it!

The emperor's face turned black.

Because the content of the melon involved the empress, he intercepted part of the report and never passed it to the ministers. Who knew it would still be exposed!

Seeing that Chu Hua was really not curious, the system didn't plan to say it now in order to save melon energy. What they were worried about was another problem.

Chu Hua's conversation with the system would be heard by everyone within a radius of 50 meters, and there was no special treatment.

In this case, as soon as she runs to the substitute concubine, talks to the system for a few more words, or eats the hot melon on the spot, the people nearby would know about it. Then the Xirong people would also know about it.

What should they do? The emperor and his ministers were a little panicked.

Was it possible that the treasures from Dasheng would be coveted by those bastards from Xirong? No! Absolutely not!

Just now, Lin You was eating melons while reporting. He reported the whole thing while multitasking.

The biggest matter was over and the royal guard suppressed Wu Ru and Liu Yue.

Whether they were willing or forced to do things for Xirong and harm the people of Dasheng, they were all charged with treason and their end would not be good.

Wu Ru knew that he could not escape the word death. Dejected, he didn't care about anything.

It was unknown what frightened Liu Yue, she was a little confused and out of it. She didn't even notice Chu Ping in the queue.

Chu Hua looked at Liu Yiniang, who used to pay so much attention to her appearance. She looked disheveled and dead. It was a slightly unsettling sight.

The war between countries actually schemed a group of women in the harem, making them addicted to drugs, contracting venereal disease, and having children from adultery.

Even if they could escape from the clutches of drug addiction and venereal disease, they would be stripped of their skin and it would be difficult for them to live well in this era.

The means of the Xirong Emperor were too despicable!

Chu Hua fumed: [System, I want to make penicillin. ]

The system was stunned for a moment: [Do you want to save those who have venereal disease? ]

Chu Hua nodded: [Chinese medicine and acupuncture may not be very effective, so we still have to use Western medicine. ]

[I know it’s very difficult; requires a lot of time and luck and the possibility of making it is not high. If it is really made, it may cause allergies, insufficient purity, and side effects, and it may not be able to save them in time. Still, I got to try my best, it is better than just accepting my fate. ]

[And if it is really made, it can save everything from external injuries and infections. It is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Just think of it as... accumulating blessings. ]

She still didn't know why she had a second chance at life, so treat it as a way to thank Heaven for the blessing given to her and give back to the country that gave birth to and protected her and her family.

System: [I don't think I can’t be of help and can only cheer up Elder Sister Hua! ]

Chu Hua: [How can you not? You can share those fresh melons with me when I fail and get discouraged, so that I can be happy and have more motivation to study. ]

[Huh? That's right, then it's settled! ] The system happily used some melons to sprinkle flowers.

One person and one system reached a consensus on this.

After leaving the court, the emperor summoned the Imperial Academy of Medicine Administrative Assistant: "Penicillin, do you know of it?"

The Imperial Academy of Medicine Administrative Assistant shook his head: "I have never heard of it."

"Forget it." The emperor actually guessed that there might not be any when Chu Hua said it, but he was a little unwilling.

There were quite a few civil and military officials and their families infected with venereal disease. It was not long after Xirong's plan began, so less infected were infected and it was found out early. They were treated with acupuncture and medicine for the time being.

Afterwards, if the condition did not improve or even became serious, then we could only hope that Chu Hua could develop penicillin as soon as possible.

In order to have time to develop penicillin, Chu Hua wanted to finish the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible.

She was not stupid enough to take on too much. Even if one person had three heads and six arms, it was impossible to finish all the work.

In order to improve efficiency, the assembly line work was adopted. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were divided into a few groups, one group for copying, one group for proofreading, one group for calculation, and one group for verification. After the skill proficiency was improved, the speed increased all of an instant. So fast that the Minister of Revenue, the Vice Minister of Revenue and others all exclaimed.

And she prepared to go home on time every day after leaving her duty.

Three days later, Chu Hua arranged everything she needed and soon she could start the first experiment and it would be a little more relaxed.

[Come, let’s have a melon. ]

System: [The green hat of the Emperor Xirong, or the green hat of the Emperor Dasheng? ]

Ministry of Revenue: “…”

Royal guard:…”

The system was completely corrupted by Chu Hua, and was particularly excited when it mentioned the green hat.

Chu Hua was slightly stunned: [Why is there an option for Xirong? Aren't you going to save melon energy?]

The system snorted proudly: [As an excellent melon-eating system, 188 has learned to be self-reliant. t have accumulated more than 20,000 melon energy in three days. Of course, I can be extravagant! ]

The pride in the tone was so strong that Chu Hua wanted to grab the system's dog head.

Ministry of Revenue official: "..."

Royal guard: "..."

Its so-called self-reliance meant working diligently to investigate corruption during the day, and wait until Chu Hua fell asleep at night, doing the imperial examination questions through wails while eating melons?

Did it know how miserable the whole court was because it worked for twenty four hours?

The royal guard who recorded the conversation between one person and one person had been replaced more than a dozen times because of hand cramps. When there was a shortage of people and people were transferred from the twelve eunuchs. The physical fitness of the eunuchs was not as good as that of the royal guards, so more than twenty have been replaced.

Commander Lin You and all the royal guards were either catching corrupt officials or on the way to catching corrupt officials for twenty four hours a day. They haven't had a good sleep in four days and the dark circles under their eyes were as heavy as those of a panda.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, the Pacification Division had urgently expanded its recruitment for the first time.

The newly recruited people were sent out to work without much training, which excited the newcomers. Once they were excited, they worked hard, and once they worked hard, they all fell down.

As for the Ministry of Revenue side, they had to check the accounts and collect the money obtained from corrupt officials. The treasury had more money, and it had to be distributed to various departments that had been waiting for money for a long time. It was the first time that they experienced the feeling of counting money until their hands cramped.

The above was the impact of investigating corruption during the day. The impact of doing imperial examination questions at night was even more excessive.

Chu Hua spent a lot of money to get so many sets of papers for Chu Qin, which included the top three and outstanding Jinshi in every imperial examination since the current emperor ascended the throne. It included the speeches, policy essays, poems, etc. of some officials, and the melons hidden in them were countless.

The emperor and the officials were so busy with government affairs during the day that they wanted to eat some melons to relax. As a result, the recent melons were either corruption or imperial examinations, which was mixed with bribery, leaking questions, taking exams for others, and murder. They could onyl continue to work overtime with a weary face.

There were not enough officials in the Ministry of Justice, so the Court of Judicial Review was dragged down with them. The two departments sank hand in hand.

The military commanders who did not need to take the imperial examinations or investigate cases, after eating imperial examination melons for a few days in a row, were able to talk about imperial examination questions with civil officials.

The civil officials who entered the government through the imperial examinations felt more and more crisis-ridden and they once again improved their work efficiency and compressed their sleep time. They studied hard, fearing that they would lose to a child who was just eating melons.

The military commanders noticed that the civil officials were grinding? Then they couldn't lose either!

Daily exercise was carried out and the subordinates were trained. As for books, forget it. It was not the military commanders' forte. But if the child, the melon-eating system worked so hard, how could they, already fathers and grandfathers who had children and grandchildren, be too lazy?

Alright, wasn't it just a matter of grinding? They followed with their noses pinched!

The civil officials saw that the military commanders were grinding, so how could the civil officials in the prosperous times lose to the military commanders? Don't they want face? !

Grind! Grind to death!

You grind, I grind, he also grind. The whole court was in a mess.

So exhausted. Please, woooo!

Chu Hua and the system had no idea that they were almost driving the whole court crazy and they were still happily eating melons.

The system waved its hand and said proudly: [I bought both! ]

After a while, the system came back after eating the melons with a laugh: [Wow, hahaha - Elder Sister Hua, you can't imagine how weird the Xirong Emperor is! ]

Chu Hua’s curiosity was piqued: [What? ]

System: [In order to put a green hat on Emperor Dasheng, he found a few women who looked a bit like Emperor Dasheng on the border between Xirong and Dasheng to give birth to children and picked out a son who looked most like Emperor Dasheng and sent him here! ]

Chu Hua: [Oh wow! ]

Ministry of Revenue officials and royal guard: Oh wow!

Chu Hua’s claw took a tentative step: [So, who does the Xirong Emperor like, the Dasheng Emperor or the Dasheng Empress? ]

[Does the young man know that his biological father is the Xirong Emperor? Would he think he is Dasheng Emperor’s son after seeing the Dasheng Emperor? Who is putting the green hat here? ]

System: [Huh? ? ? ]

Ministry of Revenue Officials and royal guards: Huh! ! !








Chapter 27

Chu Hua's guess made sense.

In ancient times when there was no paternity test technology, many people had a few ways to see if they were biologically related.

The most common one was blood test.

The third prince was listed in the royal jade book with the jade pendant and blood test left by the emperor. Of course, it was now known to be fake.

Another less commonly used method was to look at the face.

Affected by genetic genes, some children look very similar to their parents and one could tell whose child they were at a glance.

However, the world was so big, how could one guarantee that there were no two similar people?

Chu Hua was still guessing: [If the young man meets Emperor Dasheng and judges that he is the son of Emperor Dasheng from his appearance and then turns around to deal with Emperor Xirong, it would be interesting haha! ]

Ministry of Revenue officials and royal guard: Huh?

Won't this situation be completely opened?

It was much more embarrassing than Emperor Xirong’s ten green hats rumors!

The royal guard hurriedly passed up the report that was only partly completed.

When the emperor, the old Grand Preceptor, the old Grand Mentor and others saw it, they also felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

If the Xirong emperor knew that he had carefully planned and prepared for twenty years, and it end up with the Xirong prince turning against the emperor because of the face of the Dasheng emperor, then that scene would be very exciting!

Hahahaha, it would be hilarious. It would be even better if they could see the collapse of the Xirong emperor’s expression after learning the truth up close!

Not long after, they received the follow-up report content and instantly felt the huge gap in their mood from the sky to the bottom of the valley.

The system shattered everyone's expectations with one sentence: [But the young man knows. ]

[Before he set out to Dasheng, the Xirong emperor met him and told him about his life background and the purpose of this trip. He also told him that if this plan succeeds, the Xirong will take down Dasheng without bloodshed and he will be the Xirong Crown Prince when he returned. ]

Emperor: "..."

Grand Mentor and others: "..."

Sure enough, the Xirong emperor could come up with so many despicable means and he would not simply overturn in this matter.

Chu Hua already knew Xirong’s usual routine: [What kind of despicable plan did the Xirong Emperor come up with? ]

System: [This plan is despicable, but if it succeeds, it would be a bloodless victory. ]

[The Xirong Emperor knows that the Dasheng Emperor and the Empress are not in a good relationship, so he told the son who looked most like the Dasheng Emperor to seduce the Empress. If the Empress can give birth to a child, there will be two possibilities. ]

Seeing this, the Emperor stood up at once. His face full of anger: "How dare you, you bastard!"

In terms of the Emperor's royal upbringing, calling a foreign emperor who was only two years younger than him "a bastard" was the biggest scolding word he could think of.

"Bastard! A bastard!" The Emperor was so angry that he spun back and forth, like a dog that went out to find food but found that its home had been stolen. He was anxious and restless and had nowhere to vent.

He saw a teacup on the dragon table, picked it up and was about to smash it, but stopped when he saw the old Grand Mentor, Grand Preceptor, and others in the imperial study.

He saw the old GrandPreceptor and remembered the teacher's earnest teachings.

- The king should not show his joy, mind, or anger.

He repeated it in his mind. When he recited it for the tenth time, the emperor calmed down.

With a click, the teacup fell steadily without splashing a drop.

The emperor sat back on the dragon chair, still with a cold face, but compared with the previous rage that he couldn't even read the report, it was much better.

The old Grand Preceptor and others saw the record before the emperor, and knew that the emperor still had more to fume about, so they didn't persuade him.

System: [First, the empress gave birth to a son. As long as he is twenty-thirty percent similar to Emperor Dasheng, no one will doubt the bloodline of the empress's son. When the prince grows up, Emperor Dasheng will be about sixty years old and it will be time for him to die. ]

[If this prince with royal blood of Xirong can succeed to the throne smoothly under Dasheng's training, it would be the best result. If not, Xirong would give him a few victories to accumulate military merits for him, and then catch some spies from Beidi to build momentum and push him to the throne. ]

[When the time is right, let him know his life background and the reason for his succession, and then he can hold Dasheng in his hands. ]

The emperor's eyebrows jumped fiercely and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

Bastard! He actually schemed on him, the empress, the prince, and the royal grandson! He actually tried to play the whole Dasheng in his hands!

The more agitated he was, the calmer he was, forcing himself to continue reading.

System: [Second, if the empress give birth to a daughter or a son who doesn't look similar, as long as no one suspects it, it can develop in the same way as above. If there is, the empress and princess or prince can be threatened to work for Xirong with the reason of adultery and children born out of adultery. ]

[Poison the emperor, assassinate other princes and grandchildren, pass Dasheng intelligence to Xirong, steal Dasheng's military defense maps, etc. ]

[Even if the seduction fails, as long as the empress sleeps, hint in the words, let the empress doubt the child's biological father, and then there will be a weakness grasped to make them work for Xirong. ]

Chu Hua gritted her teeth: [Too poisonous, this grandson thief! ]

Eating melons was originally to relax her mood, but she almost had breast nodules from eating melons, damn it!

The system couldn't agree more: [That's right! ]

The emperor was so infuriated that he felt dizzy. The words in front of him turned from one to two and he could hardly see clearly.

When he saw Chu Hua's ‘grandson thief’, his eyes lit up immediately. Wasn't it right? It was a grandson as well as a thief. How could Chu Hua scold so well?

He had the image of an emperor to maintain and must restrain himself when there were others around, but Chu Hua didn't need to. Scold more, scold more!

The emperor's face turned from cloudy to sunny. The old Grand Preceptor and others guessed that he must have seen Chu Hua's scolding and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that the emperor was happy. As for the fact that Grandson thief was actually a play on grandson pronunciation...

En, everyone in the capital knew it, and the emperor was no exception. Let him be happy for a while.

Anyway, there would be more unhappy things later.

The old Grand Perceptor and the old Grand Mentor looked up at the sky silently. The weather was really good today.

The system continued: [At worst, if the plan fails, the Xirong emperor would only lose a son. He doesn't need too many sons, and he doesn't feel bad if one or two die. It's completely different for the emperor who has only five sons and three daughters when excluding the from the real princess who is wandering outside despite the numerous concubines. ]

Emperor: "..."

When talking about the Xirong emperor, just talk about it nicely. Why must it involve him? !

Five sons and three daughters were mentioned by all officials every day. Was he not annoyed?

He had tried so hard, but his concubines just couldn't get pregnant. What could he do? He was also desperate!

The lack of offspring was a real pain for the emperor. After knowing the truth, he hesitated for a long time and privately sent the royal guard to find the princess who was abandoned in the brothel by Wang Jieyu.

After so many years, if the child had no other opportunities, she would have been serving customers in the brothel.

The fact that the third prince was a remnant of the previous dynasty was not made public, so the princess could not be recognized in a high-profile manner, could not return to her original position, and could not use the excuse that ‘the emperor favored a beauty and actually had a child when he went south.’

--It would be bad to spread the news that the royal bloodline was scattered outside.

But he couldn't not look for her, right?

Since it was his bloodline, even if she couldn't return to the royal family openly, she could at least live a better life in another place.

The atmosphere in the imperial study gradually stagnated as the emperor turned to the last page.

The old Grand Preceptor said softly, "These are all strategies that have not been implemented yet and have not succeeded."

The old Mentor fiercely stated, "Your Majesty, since Xirong dared to plot against my Dasheng and even if it didn't succeed, we must teach them a lesson, so that they know that Dasheng is not something that can be plotted against by just any cat or dog!"

"Of course." The emperor looked at the reports filled with the sinister schemes of the Xirong emperor and sneered, "It’s impolite not to reciprocate. Incite him to defection."

This ‘him’ naturally referred to the son sent by the Xirong emperor.

Old Grand Preceptor: "..."

Old Grand Mentor: "..."

The two sworn enemies were dumbfounded. Was this okay?

He was not stupid. Even if he doubt whether he was the biological son of the Xirong Emperor because of his similar appearance to Emperor Dasheng, Xirong could give him the position of crown prince. What could they give?

With such a huge gap in interests, how could they possibly turn the other party to defection?

But the emperor had given the order, and they, as ministers, could only implement it.

The old Grand Preceptor thought for a moment and said, "Then we can start with his background and his similar face to the emperor. Xirong Emperor Wanyan Hong did everything he could, and that person probably knows this. So let's start from this point."

The old Grand Preceptor and the old Grand Mentor have been sworn enemies for decades, so they couldn't be any more clear what the other person was thinking. He continued, "Just say that he is the emperor's bloodline that had been lost outside, and Wanyan Hong stole him many years ago in order to make the royal father and son kill each other."

After all, no one could prove whose son that person was now.

The emperor pondered for a while and said, "It's feasible."

Several people discussed the matter further, trying to make every aspect leak-proof.

They had almost finished discussing it and were drinking tea to moisten their throats when they received the third report sent by the royal guard.

The emperor almost spit out a mouthful of tea and was dumbfounded: "What?"

The old Grand Preceptor and the old Grand Mentor looked down and were also stunned.

What was called a sudden turn of events? This was it!

System revealed: [Besides, he is not the biological son of the Xirong Emperor. Ding ding ding, the first green hat is here! ]

This wonderful reversal made Chu Hua exclaim: [Oh wow! ]

System: [The facial contours of the Xirong people are deeper, and there is a clear difference from the Dasheng people. It was easy to see, so the Xirong Emperor found a Dasheng woman who looked like the Dasheng Emperor on the border between the two countries. ]

[The woman was already married and had children and her life was quite happy. As a result, the Xirong Emperor sent people to abduct her and had also killed her husband and children. The woman hated him to the core, so how could she be willing to have his child? ]

[But she didn't want to die like this. She pretended to be nice to the Xirong Emperor, pretending to love him and obey his orders, but in fact she was secretly looking for an opportunity for revenge. ]

Chu Hua exclaimed: [A real-life version of a woman's revenge plot! Elder Sister is so strong! ]

System: [Later, she accidentally saw the Xirong Emperor talking to himself in front of the portrait of the Dasheng Emperor and discovered that she looked similar to the Dasheng Emperor and immediately understood! ]

Chu Hua also understood, and said excitedly: [This is the substitute! I love you, you don't love me, we still have national hatred and family feuds, gender differences, and secular prejudices. I can only find a woman who looks like you as a substitute to comfort myself. ]

The pupils of the emperor, the old Grand Preceptor and others shrunk and their hearts were racing.

Ah, this, this, this——

Chu Hua's tone suddenly changed, becoming very cold: [En, the storybooks are all written like this. ]

Emperor: "..."

Pld Grand Preceptor and others: "..."

Almost couldn't breathe.

Read less weird stories! It was so scary!

The emperor roughly wiped the tea that sprayed out of his lips. It was nothing, but he had a feeling that he was dirtied.






Chapter 28

Facing Chu Hua's outrageous guess, the system had only one reaction: [Hahahahahaha...]

The eunuch who recorded it probably felt sore on his hands and wanted to save some energy, so he marked the number after ‘Haha’: eighteen.

Emperor: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know whether this was boredom or rigorous.

System: [Not really.]

[The Xirong Emperor was indeed speaking to the portrait of the Dasheng Emperor, but it was not the kind of confession you thought. It was something like "Just wait, I'll kill you soon!"

Chu Hua teased: [Love and hate intertwined?]

She laughed after saying that.

Emperor: "..." say it yourself, is it outrageous? Is it outrageous!

At this moment, he personally understood the feelings of the former Vice Minister of Revenue and the second prince: Change a sheep, let me go!

The system knew that Chu Hua was joking and did not respond to that sentence. [The woman didn't know what the Xirong Emperor was planning, but she knew that she was targeted because of that face. The Xirong Emperor often summoned her and other women with similar faces to sleep with him and those women would be sent away after they got pregnant. ]

[She guessed that the Xirong Emperor might be preparing to replace the child of the Dasheng Emperor. Afterward, she took medicine to make herself have pregnancy pulse and then found a man to get pregnant after being sent away. ]

Chu Hua was a woman and it was easier to empathize with women. So in her opinion: [This green hat is not put on unfairly at all. ]

Hahahaha! The emperor's mouth was almost crooked from amusement.

When he saw Chu Hua was interested in his green hat, he was very unhappy, but when this interest fell on other emperors, he just wanted to say: Good job! More!

Old Grand Preceptor and others: "..." Oh no, the emperor was so angry that he completely let himself go.

Then at the thought that the other party was Xirong, it was fine. It would be easier to deal with!

Wanyan Hong would never allow a person with half Dasheng blood to ascend the throne of the crown prince. Even if he, the emperor, wanted to, the ministers would not agree.

There was also the hatred of killing his siblings and using his mother. As long as they found a good entry point, the possibility of instigating a defection was still very high.

Once they were in a good mood, they wanted to eat the big melon of the Xirong emperor's green hat.

Wasn't this just one? Talk about the other nine in detail!

Chu Hua: [What else? ]

System: [The other two green hats are somewhat similar to this one, so I won't talk about them because the plot is quite repetitive. ]

[Let's talk about the most explosive one. The Xirong emperor himself knows about these green hats and he even personally selects and arranges men to sleep with his woman. ]

Chu Hua was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped: [This was too much! ]

The emperor, the Grand Mentor, and others were extremely shocked: How could there be a man who was willing to wear a green hat? What’s more, it was an emperor!

That was the emperor! The man who couldn't tolerate wearing a green hat the most in the world!

This Wanyan Hong could really endure what ordinary people couldn't endure. No wonder his mind was so twisted that he only targeted women in the harem during the war between the two countries.

Chu Hua couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question: [There was emperor of the previous dynasty and the emperor of Xirong. Are all emperors so good at playing? ]

The system applies Chu Hua's previous speech: [188 don't understand, but I respect it. ]

The emperor who was killed by the wind: "..."

The last emperor of the previous dynasty was good at playing, and the emperor of Xirong was good at playing. What did it have to do with him, the Dasheng emperor? !

The system continued: [Wanyan Hong's path to the throne was not smooth. When he was still a prince, he experienced many assassinations. He killed and slaughtered his brothers. In the end, only he and a brother with the same father and mother were left. Only then, he became emperors. ]

[Wanyan Hong's mother was just a foot-washing maid in the Xirong palace. She couldn't give him any help, so he hooked up with Shizhan Jiao, the granddaughter of Xirong General. ]

[The Shizhan clan helped him so much, so Wanyan Hong made a promise to Shizhan Jiao: When I ascend the throne, I will give you whatever you want. ]

Hearing this, Chu Hua knew what the subsequent plot would be like.

[It couldn’t be that Shizhan Jiao said to Wanyan Hong: I want 3,000 concubines, right? Oh, elder sister iss so spicy, me likey! ]

System: [Haha, no. She asked for six tall, long-legged, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted handsome guys. Plus Wanyan Hong, that’s seven, one a day, rotate in a week. ]

Chu Hua made an envious voice: [Elder Sister Shizhan is really spicy! ]

Emperor: “…”

Old Grand Preceptor and others: “…”

You little girl was only thirteen years old, why do you watch “The Romantic Widow and the Pretty Scholar” all day long, or envy others for having handsome men and beautiful women?

It must be Chu Ping who led her astray! They’ll punish him later!

System: [If she encounters a day when she has menstruation, she would give her share of these days to Wanyan Hong, and sleep under the quilt. I guess she dislikes him, right? But she is the empress now, it is not good to not sleep with the emperor. ]

Chu Hua made a more envious and jealous voice: [Elder Sister Jiaojiao is really a role model for women of my generation! ]

The system doted on the host very much. Seeing Chu Hua's envy and excitement like a star chaser seeing an idol, it said with pain: [Elder Sister Hua, open your eyes. I will only show you for one second. ]

Chu Hua was ready: [Come on! I'm ready! ]

The emperor and others couldn't see it, so they could only judge from the conversation on paper: Maybe she's beautiful?

Because Chu Hua was obviously more excited after reading it: [Oh my God! Elder Sister Jiaojiao is a G cup? White skin, beautiful face, bright and flamboyant, thin waist and long legs, a goddess! Ah, I love it so much! I want to meet by chance! I want to slide on elder sister's chest! ]

[It's such a waste to give such a goddess to Wanyan Hong, that grandson thief! How can seven handsome guys be enough? At least thirty, and no repeat in a month! ]

[Compared to Elder Sister Jiaojiao, the Second Princess Consort is really weak! Follow Elder Sister Jiaojiao's example, okay? ! ]

The Second Princess Consort's father-in-law, the emperor: "..."

The Second Princess Consort's grandfather, the old Grand Mentor: "..."

The Second Prince's teacher, the old Grand Preceptor: "..."

At this moment, they all had the same idea of ​​punishing Chu Ping: Look how you, a fool, teach your daughter!

And, they made the same silent cry like the Second Prince: Chu Hua is forbidden to meet the Second Princess Consort!

[Wow, it's really expensive! The chief system is such an unscrupulous businessman! ] The system cried for a while for the lost melon, [Elder Sister Hua, do you want to continue? ]

Chu Hua: [No, rest time is up. It's time to work. ]

The report ended here.

The emperor was still not satisfied, "Isn't there still a green hat melon that hasn't been eaten yet?"

The old Grand Preceptor already understood Chu Hua's style: "She is probably waiting until she goes home and has time in the evening before eating it slowly."

The old Grand Preceptor: "..."

Seeing that the monarch and his ministers were already thinking about what green hat melon they could eat in the evening, he coughed hurriedly, "Still trying to instigate defection?"

The emperor: "Of course."

The old Grand Preceptor: "Ahem, continue."

How could they not use so many secrets of the Xirong royal family?

If they didn't think of a way to retaliate, they wouldn’t live up to the scold from the military generals: You civil servants have dirty hearts!

While the imperial study was busy with the separation plan, Chu Hua, who was full of melons, was checking the accounts in the Ministry of Revenue seriously, while the system was conscientiously checking loopholes to replenish melons.

And other officials in the Ministry of Revenue were also excited by eating melons and their efficiency was extremely high.

The afternoon passed quickly. Chu Hua rubbed her sore wrists and waist and went home under the escort of two royal guards.

As soon as she walked out of the door of the Ministry of Revenue, she saw two carriages parked at the door.

The Chu Family used a green-shed carriage, which was driven by two horses of the most common and smallest size available to the gentry. Next to the green-shed carriage was a blue-shed carriage pulled by two horses.

At first glance, the two carriages were similar, except for the different colors, but in fact they were very different.

The Chu Family used ordinary horses bought from the horse market, while the horses in the blue-shed carriage were mixed-blood Beidi horses.

Dasheng horses were tall, strong, and have strong endurance, suitable for carrying. Beidi horses were sturdy, well-proportioned, and good at running. They were natural war horses.

Beidi strictly controlled the flow of each Beidi horse and did not allow anyone to sell it to Dasheng for any purpose or by any means.

Currently, all the Beidi horses owned by Dasheng were seized by the eldest prince on the battlefield.

War horses have a high attrition rate, short lifespan, and few in number. The hybrid horses born from war horses and Dasheng horses have both characteristics, while others were just for show. Both were rare.

Such hybrid horses rarely appear on the market. They were usually used by the royal family or generals. Those with lower grades were not available.

Chu Hua took a look at them as she approached. En, they were just for show.

She got on the carriage with confidence. Just as she was about to go in, the curtain of the blue-shed carriage next door was lifted and a beautiful maid came down: "Official Chu, my master invites you to the carriage for a chat."

Chu Hua: "..."

[System, who is this? What do they want from me? ]

The maid's eyebrows were calm, as if she hadn't heard anything.

The system replied immediately: [It's the empress. ]

Chu Hua:?

Let alone the empress, even if it was the Emperor, she only saw him from a distance in the court and didn't even know whether the Emperor had acne or mole on his face. What did the empress want from her?

She slowly climbed down from her own carriage and then slowly went to the next carriage.

[System, it can’t be that the empress hold a grudge against me because the Second Prince failed to report my father's prostitution visit, but instead exposed that his and Second Princess Consort went to a brothel to learn the art of room activity and went back to complain to his mother. ]

[Then, his mother is here to trouble me, right? ! ]

Beautiful maid: "..."

The empress in the carriage: "..."

The empress didn't care about the absurdity and weirdness of hearing Chu Hua communicate with the system consciousness for the first time, "Official Chu."

"Present."

"Come up, I just want to chat with you."

What else could Chu Hua do after the empress said so? "This official complies."

At this time, the system came back after eating melons: [Elder Sister Hua, the empress wants to go to Chunfeng Tower with you. ]

Chu Hua: [What? Why didn't you say it earlier! ]

Swiftly climbed onto the carriage, without any previous dragging, "Greetings to the empress."

Empress: "..."

Maid: "..."

Royal guard: "..."

The empress was silent for two seconds, and then she sorted her mood. Yes, she should have known that this girl was unusual.

"No need to stand on ceremony, sit down."

Chu Hua sat down.

She couldn't stare at the empress's face directly, but the system didn't have this scruple. It was still sighing after looking.

System: [The empress is much more beautiful than in the photo. It's a waste to match her to the emperor. ]

Chu Hua: [That's right, this time when I go to Chunfeng Tower, I must order eight-ten young men for the empress! While the one from Xirong can't be touched, can the one in Chunfeng Tower be not touched? ]

System: [Will this work? ]

Chu Hua: [Why won't it work? You are unkind, then I’ll be unjust! You have a little wife and I have a little husband. How fair! ]

empress: ...Huh? It seemed to make sense.






Chapter 29

The system waited for a long time but didn't hear the empress speak and couldn't help but be curious: [Elder Sister Hua, how long are you two going to play wooden men? ]

Chu Hua helpless: [What can I do? This is the empress, the superior above the head. If you interrupt casually, you would die. ]

Empress: "..."

Beautiful maid: "..."

Not really, really it wouldn’t.

The empress had never beaten anyone to death for interrupting someone. She didn't know why Chu Hua had such a wrong perception of her.

However Chu Hua was in the dark and she couldn't answer accordingly to avoid exposing the truth.

"Official Chu."

Chu Hua quickly came back to her senses: "Present."

The empress found a topic that she thought was okay: "I heard that you helped the Ministry of Revenue to find a lot of bad accounts these days."

Chu Hua: "Thanks to your blessing."

[System, are you sure the empress wants me to go to Chunfeng Tower with her and not to settle accounts with me? ]

The empress: "..."

System: [Confirmed! Elder Sister Hua, the melon-eating system collects information based on existing facts and would not make mistakes unless she changes her mind temporarily. ]

The empress's heart trembled and the topic abruptly changed: "Checking the accounts must be tiring, why not go to a good place to relax."

Chu Hua lowered her eyebrows and replied: "As Your Majesty wished."

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the empress's maids and a few royal guards followed on both sides of the carriage. The embroidered spring swords in their hands made passers-by consciously stay away from them.

The empress slowed down her voice and said softly, "The Emperor mentioned to me that you are originally a girl raised in the boudoir, but because of the Emperor's whim, you got up at 3 a.m. every day to go to court in place of your elder brother."

Chu Hua:!

Finally, she knew which smartie pants made her get up at 3 a.m. every day and go to court in the cold wind.

She thought it was someone who came up with the bad idea, but it turned out to be the Emperor.

"Now you are transferred to the Ministry of Revenue to do such tedious and laborious work. If you are not careful, you will offend people. Every time I think about it, I feel sorry for you."

The system didn't get the point after listening to a few sentences and chose to ask for outside help: [Elder Sister Hua, what is the empress doing? ]

Chu Hua: [This is the usual trick of the boss. When they know you are busy and want to assign you tasks, they would chat with you first to get closer to you, so that you think you have a good relationship and can say anything. ]

[Once you let down your guard, you can't help but complain to her. If you talk too much, she will immediately catch your weakness and the boss will look at you with a look of "You don't want this to be known to others, right?" ]

[Can your little arm still twist the boss's thigh? Even if you are so busy until the leg hits the back of the head, you have to take over the unreasonable task given by the boss with tears in your eyes. Work 24 hours a day and you wouldn’t need to go to work as long as you don't get off work. ]

The system was shocked and screamed in a childish voice: [Too much! Elder Sister Hua, you have it so miserable! ]

Empress: "..."

Maid: "..."

Royal guard: "..."

Good guess, don't guess again next time.

Also, system, you are a child and have never seen the world. Don't be led astray by Chu Hua!

The empress couldn't speak out to remind the system, so she could only say cryptically: "If you feel that your current job is too hard, I can talk to the emperor for you."

Chu Hua smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, your Highness. Serving Dasheng and the people is never hard."

[System, did you see that? This is the skill of talking to the boss! When the boss asks you if it's hard, you can never answer honestly, you must answer beautifully, otherwise you would never get a promotion or a raise! ]

The system nodded fiercely: [I've learned it! ]

Empress: "..."

Maid: "..."

Royal guard: "..."

The empress truly felt that the emperor had given a thirteen-year-old girl too much work. Since it was overboard, she wanted to help Chu Hua.

However, after this chicken-duck conversation, she also realized that Chu Hua was unusually wary of her status as empress.

It was unknown what she had experienced in the past that made her so wary of people with higher status and official positions than her.

In short: as long as she was still the empress, it seemed that Chu Hua would understand her words in a different way.

The empress was a little discouraged. She suddenly thought of the previous conversation between Chu Hua and the system, and tentatively said: "I heard that the tea in Chunfeng Tower is good. Official Chu, Can you accompany me to have a cup?"

Chu Hua's eyes lit up: "This official complies."

Though she looked respectful on the surface, she was screaming crazily in her heart: [Ahhh System, the highlight is finally here! ]

The system had waited for so long and finally it was here. It screamed with Chu Hua: [Ahhh Elder Sister Hua, let's eat melons together on the spot! ]

Empress: "..."

Maid: "..."

Royal guard: "..."

There was a saying: objects resemble their owners.

It was designed for this person, and it couldn't be more vivid.

Passersby who were not far away heard the sound, but didn't find the source of the sound.

Looking again, wow, so many royal guards guarding a carriage. They couldn't afford to offend them, so they scurried off.

After a cup of tea time, they arrived at Chunfeng Tower.

Chu Hua got off the carriage first and was about to help the empress. The beautiful maid who had been following the carriage helped the empress get off the car.

The empress was wearing a rose-red robe today. Yes, she was also dressed as a man.

Her overly feminine appearance and graceful and dignified temperament rendered the clothes useless. Everyone could tell at a glance, but still respected the nature of Chunfeng Tower as a brothel.

No matter how much psychological preparation she had done before, the empress was still timid when she arrived at the door.

She was the mother of a country and should be a role model for women all over the world. She shouldn't have come to Chunfeng Tower just because she was angry with the emperor?

The smell of cosmetic powder in the building was so strong that she could smell it at the door. It must be even worse inside. Did she really want to go into such a place?

Chu Hua lowered her head and patted the dust on her official robe. She took a step and walked in boldly.

Under the emperor’s order, Jia Yi and Cai Gang followed Chu Hua in with the embroidered spring sword without changing their expressions.

The empress: "..."

Looking at Chu Hua who was upright, and then looking at herself and the maid who were timid despite dressing up as a man, she had a feeling she lost.

"Biyu, let's go." The empress walked in with her head raised and her chest puffed.

Biyu said in a low voice: "Yes, sir."

Four royal guards with swords followed silently behind the two of them.

As soon as they appeared at the door of Chunfeng Tower with swords, someone hurriedly went to inform the brothel madam before they entered.

The madam panicked for a moment when she learned that the royal guards were coming. The royal guards had been raiding houses day and night these days, causing panic in the entire capital and the business of Chunfeng Tower was affected.

But she was just an ordinary businessman and couldn't confront the royal guards, so she could only greet them with a smile.

"Dear guests..."

The brothel madam's eyes quickly swept across the positions of a few people and knew that the royal guards were protecting the three people. Then she took another look, huh?

Why did someone come to the brothel wearing official robes? Weren't they afraid of being punished or demoted? Oh, it was a woman, huh? Woman?

The two behind... En, they were also women.

The madam's eyes were extremely sharp. She could tell at a glance that Biyu's posture and position were of those who served people and the one in front of Biyu was the master.

The clothes of this group of people were all bright and good materials. None of them was short of money.

"Two distinguished guests, are you going upstairs for tea?"

When Chu Hua came in, she had already scanned the lobby. There was no flirting scene, just sitting there to drink tea, eat snacks, chat, and watch the singing, dancing, and musical performances on the central stage of the lobby.

"Bring a pot of Tieguanyin, two sets of snacks, and call ten guys of different styles. They must be able to play, sing, talk, be funny, and massage. No cold, pretentious, flattering, or unclean ones."

The madam: "..." The smile on her face almost froze.

If she hadn't confirmed that she had never seen this girl come to Chunfeng Tower with her photographic memory, she would have thought she was a familiar customer.

"Okay, two distinguished guests, please go to the third floor suite, Fengyuqing."

A young man in thin white clothes came slowly, saying softly: "Two distinguished guests, please follow me."

Chu Hua left first. It wasn’t that she wanted to snatch the lead, but she couldn't let the empress talk to the brothel madam, right?

She came to the brothel in her official robes and walked in front, attracting most people's attention, making it difficult for people to notice the empress behind her. If the truth comes out one day, she could also protect the empress from being criticized.

The empress understood and asked her with a smile when she went upstairs: "Has Official Chu been here before?"

"No." Chu Hua confessed honestly, "I read it in a storybook."

Empress: "What storybook?"

Chu Hua did not answer immediately, but only asked with her eyes: Do you really want to know?

The empress nodded: I want to know.

Okay, you forced me to do this.

Chu Hua: "’The Regent's Forceful Love’ has a plot about the Regent's little wife visiting a brothel. I just used it a little to make it more realistic."

Empress: "..."

Others: "..."

What realistic? Was it realistic to find ten young men to serve the empress?

Jia Yi and Cai Gang both suspected that with their abilities, which were among the best in the Pacfication Division, they could perfectly block the sneak attacks, assassinations, poisonings, and sieges from outside, but they might not be able to stop Chu Hua from taking the initiative to die.

She was the only one in all of Dasheng who dared to take the empress to visit the brothel and order ten young men for the empress.

In a slightly weird silence, the group arrived at the third-floor suite: Fengyuqing.

This was a carefully decorated suite, with a few paintings of flowers and plants hanging on the wall. Even the screen was a landscape painting.

There was a light and elegant agarwood in the room. The reason for the formation of agarwood was special, it took a long time, and the quantity was rare. This was not one of the top agarwoods, but it was very rare. Overall, it was exquisite but not vulgar.

Chu Hua dared to bet: "The second prince probably came to this suite."

The empress had finished looking at it and was quite satisfied with the arrangement here and nodded slightly.

The system said: [No, it's the Furongmian across from here.]

Chu Hua: "..."

The empress: "..."

The two looked at each other and sent the same tentative message: Go take a look?

It was better to take action than thinking about it! Chu Hua turned on her toes and prepared to go out for a stroll.

As soon as she opened the door, a row of young men in green, blue and white came over. When they saw the door of the Fengyuqing suite open, they immediately showed Chu Hua a gentle, well-behaved or flattering smile.

Chu Hua silently retracted her foot and made a gesture of invitation to the empress.

The empress: "..." In an instant, she was in a dilemma.

Ten young men with different styles and body shapes, but all very handsome. One could tell at a glance who was the one who should be served and rushed to the empress.

"What is this Young Master's name?"

"Young Master, would you like some tea?"

"Young Master, please have some snacks."

"Young Master, would you like some music?"

It was obvious that the empress was a woman, but they kept calling her Young Master because she was dressed as a man.

They didn't do anything excessive, just a little enthusiastic, and even didn't have any physical contact without getting permission.

Since she got engaged to the emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, more than 20 years ago, the empress had been avoiding even her own father and brothers. After getting married, she was mostly surrounded by maids and eunuchs. The royal guards protected her but kept a considerable distance.

This was the first time in more than 20 years that she was surrounded by so many young men, which reminded her of the time when she was young and was pursued by many young men.

The empress felt self-conscious and stuttered accidentally: "No, no need."

As soon as she finished speaking, she blushed.

This was so different from the dignified, virtuous, noble and generous empress in the carriage.

She looked more like a young girl who was ignorant of the world. Chu Hua poked the system frantically: [System, isn’t her Highness beautiful? ]

System: [Beautiful! ]

The gentlemen: ? ? ?

The empress?

The princes' attention was all on the empress, not Chu Hua. Upon hearing this, they silently cast their eyes on the beauty whom they were serving. Could this be her Highness from the palace?

That was right, otherwise she wouldn't be protected by so many royal guards with embroidered spring swords.

Thinking of this, they became even more excited.

Her Highness was good. Her Highness was rich. Just a little bit of her fingers was enough for them to live for a long time.

"Young Master, can I sing you a little Jiangnan song?"

"Young Master, do you like the sound of the zither? I can play anything."

"Young Master, do you like tea art? I am the best tea-maker in Chunfeng Tower."

"Young Master..."

"Young Master..."

The empress was annoyed by the sound of ‘Young Master’. These people knew her identity and always kept their propriety. They did not overstep their boundaries and just tried their best to make her happy.

She could not put on an empress act here, nor could she get the royal guard throw them out.

After a moment of contemplation, the empress said, "One by one."

The gentlemen happily responded, "Yes!"

Chu Hua poured a cup of Tieguanyin, chose a corner a little further away, sat down to drink tea, and watched the performance.

The system also watched with great interest. Normally, it could only see photos and text when it ate melons. This was the first time it saw a live version of the competition between handsome men.

System: [Wow - this zither is played well! Elder Sister Hua, what is he playing? ]

Chu Hua: [“Yangchun Baixue”, uses light and lively music to show the scene of the earth reviving after winter. ]

The system asked hesitantly: [Is it appropriate to play this in a brothel? Shouldn’t it be lingering and affectionate? ]

Chu Hua: [You have to be reserved for the first time. Can’t just be so passionate when you just meet, right? ]

The empress’s face turned slightly red. This girl thought that others couldn’t hear it and didn’t care at all.

If it weren’t for these people’s attention on her, wouldn’t it be exposed if the fact that she could make a sound without opening her mouth!

However... the range that could be heard was fifty meters. She hoped the sound of singing, drinking and chatting everywhere in Chunfeng Tower could suppress it.

If the emperor hadn’t asked her to think of a way to prevent Chu Hua from going to the Xirong spy to avoid exposing the existence of the system, she would not have considered the place with loud and mixed sounds and many and mixed people and thus chose Chunfeng Tower.

There was a knock on the door.

The empress glanced over. A young man near the door opened the door. Standing at the door was a female in a royal blue robe.

Another female who unsuccessfully dressed up as a male.

The woman smiled at the first glance inside: "Such an interesting thing, how can I miss out it?"

Empress: "..."

Chu Hua: [System, who is this? ]

System: [It's Second Princess Consort you've been thinking about meeting. ]

Chu Hua immediately stood up: [Oh! The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are visiting a brothel together, so why don't we order more? ]

"You two enjoy your time, I'll go order a few more dishes."

She wanted to go out and pick handsome guys. If it was on the way, she could also go to the opposite Furongmian to see the private room often used by the second prince couple.

As a result, as soon as her butt left the seat, Second Princess Consort made a one-handed downward motion: "No need to be busy."

Chu Hua:?

The Second Princess Consort: "Before I came, I heard that you are all here, so I called twenty more, ten for each person, to make sure no one is left behind."

She winked at Chu Hua playfully, as if to say: Don't worry, I have benefits and won't leave you out.

The empress: "..." She was so filial to her mother-in-law.

Chu Hua's face froze. Her toes dug into the ground. She wanted to slip away.

She was a giant in thought and a king in words, but if she was really served by ten handsome guys at the age of thirteen... it wasn’t impossible.

Chu Hua raised her hand obediently: "Can I apply for them to be replaced by beautiful girls?" It would be even better if they could!

At that moment, the Second Princess Consort's eyes lit up like a light bulb: After confirming the look in her eyes, she was the same kind who liked to stick with beautiful sisters!

But Chu Hua did not receive the gaze successfully, [System, why do I feel that the look in her eyes is a little hot? ]

System: [Maybe because you are good-looking, she is going to take you into the Second Prince's manor?]

Chu Hua took a breath: [Hiss——]

The Second Princess Consort was about to explain that she just thought she looked like a kindred spirit, when she heard Chu Hua's next sentence: [Can we go tonight?]

The empress: "..."

The Second Princess Consort: "..."

Then, wasn't it a bit too anxious?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought Chu Hua was anxious to get close to the beautiful sister. After all, she had made similar bold remarks in the court earlier, but they didn't expect...

Chu Hua: [The Second Prince's backyard is full of beauties who know how to settle accounts. Every one of them is an excellent labor force cultivated by a famous family. I really want to pack them all up and send them to the Ministry of Revenue. I don't know if the Second Prince would agree.]

The empress: "..."

The Second Princess Consort: "..."




Chapter 30

At other times, Chu Hua might still be in the mood to look at beauties and get close to them.

As she was now anxious to get penicillin to save people, naturally she would try to divide the tasks as much as possible to save herself some energy.

If the more than 100 officials in the Ministry of Revenue hadn’t been used to the max and could not squeeze out any more water and the accounts from four years ago had not been settled, she would not have thought of pulling people from outside.

As for whether the accounts and funds in the Ministry of Revenue would be exposed?

That was something that the second prince and the Minister of Revenue should consider.

Besides, she could work in the Ministry of Revenue, so why couldn't the second prince's family members?

As long as they could be given a reward that made them excited.

Chu Hua: [No woman is willing to hide in the backyard and wait for a man to come back every day, unless she is a love-brained woman. ]

Empress: "..."

Second Princess Consort: "..."

Although they weren’t not sure if love-brained meant what they thought, they had a feeling that they had been ridiculed.

The system was pessimistic: [Ancient times are strict to women. They won't agree, right?]

Chu Hua smiled and said: [I've been dressed as a man to attend court. With such good conditions, I got to seek some welfare for my female compatriots.]

The system suddenly realized: [So you want all the beauties in the second prince's backyard to leave the backyard?]

Chu Hua: [They don't have to serve men, raise children, and have nothing to do on most days. How boring! As long as any of them want to jump out of the backyard, I will help them.]

The system scattered flowers and applauded vigorously: [Elder Sister Hua, you were great!]

Empress: "..."

Second Princess Consort: "..."

They didn't know nor were they certain how much change ‘attending court’ would bring to people, but Chu Hua's thoughts and actions were obviously different from theirs.

The empress didn't get the lifelong love that the emperor had promised her. Despite the anger, sadness and helplessness, she could only have a cold war with the emperor.

She was the mother of a country. With the dignity and power granted by the law and the emperor, she could do anything as long as it didn't violate the laws of Dasheng and the reputation of the royal family. Still, she never worked for the welfare of other women.

Chu Hua knew how to help other women at the age of thirteen. And she was thirty-six years old, a grandmother, but she only had eyes for her and the emperor. The relationship was no longer pure and she often quarreled with the emperor.

The empress suddenly lost motivation.

Second Princess Consort was also reflecting on herself.

She only knew to stick to those beautiful sisters in the second prince's backyard, but she didn't think that a woman's life was so short. These sisters didn't get the favor of the second prince, had no men and children, did they have other demands?

Did the sisters dare not tell her the truth because of her identity as Second Princess Consort? So they accompanied her messing around and playing with her daughters?

Asking herself, if she couldn't treat other women's children as her own, why could her sisters?

She seemed to subconsciously think: women were confined to the backyard all their lives and she was special because of her identity as a prince's consort. But others couldn't.

Second Princess Consort was shocked. How could she do this? !

Even the maid Biyu beside the empress, the six royal guards, and the gentlemen of Chunfeng Tower showed thoughtful expressions.

So, was this the right way for women to dress up as men to attend court?

--Purge corrupt officials for the court, return honest officials to the people, and seek welfare for compatriots.

Chu Hua said a few words to the system and the ideas that had been lingering in her heart for a long time could be said casually without too much thought.

It was also because of this that she found something wrong.

She spent a lot of time talking to the system, but Second Princess Consort didn't respond.

Obviously no one said anything, why did everyone present look as if they had heard something, with a thoughtful look on their faces?

Chu Hua also became thoughtful.

Suddenly, Chu Hua said: [System, let's gossip about the Second Princess Consort. ]

The system answered in seconds: [Okay, I have one here. She...]

Just after she started, the Second Princess Consort had already regained her sense. This was not the time to be in a daze!

"Official Chu."

The smile on Chu Hua's lips gradually deepened: "Present."

The Second Princess Consort looked at Chu Hua's smile, having a feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Want to go pick a beautiful girl?"

Chu Hua: "Okay."

As soon as the voice fell, someone knocked on the door of the suite. It was the twenty young men that the Second Princess Consort had called in advance. There was a variety, definitely meet everyone’s wants.

The Fengyuqing private room was big, but it couldn't hold nearly forty people.

Chu Hua took the initiative to ask: "Is the opposite Furongmian still empty?"

"It's empty."

"I'll go over there." Chu Hua took two royal guards with her as she left.

The empress and the Second Princess Consort watched her enter the Furongmian private room. She waved and greeted this side with a smile, mouthed a ‘please feel free’ from a distance, and then slammed the door shut.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other.

There were too many people in the private room, so the Second Princess Consort decided to send ten people away, and the empress also sent the remaining twenty people away.

Biyu took out a few ingots of gold from her purse, and the gentlemen who had some complaints left without saying a word. Instantly, the private room became quiet.

Empress: "Why are you here?"

Second Princess Consort: "His Highness was worried that Royal Mother can't handle it."

The empress came to such a place for the first time. It was indeed a bit difficult to cope with it. Hearing this, she didn't say much.

"Did you hear the noise outside?"

This was not said in detail, but the Second Princess Consort could understand, "Not very clearly."

That was good. The empress felt relieved.

No matter how emotionally she and the Emperor were at odds, she would unconditionally stand on the Emperor's side in such a major event concerning Dasheng and the court.

The young male escorts left, and Chu Hua also left. The Empress and the Second Princess Consort stared at each other, not knowing what they were doing here for a while.

It was also at this time that a faint sound was heard, coming from the opposite side.

Chu Hua: [System, this room truly lives up to its name Hibiscus Face, with hibiscus everywhere and beauties everywhere. Beautiful beyond words. ]

[Say, how did the Second Prince and the Second Princess Consort learn bedroom skills in such a place, with the right time, right place and right people, and not practice it on the spot? ]

The moment she heard it clearly, the Second Princess Consort's face suddenly turned red like a big tomato.

She had long known from the Second Prince that Chu Hua loved to talk nonsense with the system, and she also knew that the Second Prince was embarrassed to death in front of the civil and military officials. She had even secretly laughed at the Second Prince a few times.

But the same thing happened to her, truly... wished she could fly out and cover Chu Hua's mouth immediately!

The empress was as curious as Chu Hua and subconsciously guessed: Maybe it was because it was dirty here?

At least she didn't dare to use the bed that was slept on by an unknown amount of people, let alone how it had been used.

The system might have gone to eat melons as it took a long time to reply: [Because of mysophobia, they don't dare to mess around in such a place. ]

Chu Hua: [I guess so. ]

The empress was slightly surprised: Huh? You really guessed it right.

Second Princess Consort couldn't help but regret that she listened to the Second Prince's request today, otherwise it might not be her who was embarrassed.

She thought this tormenting time would last a long time, but Chu Hua didn't continue to eat melons. Instead, she shared with the system what the advantages of Chunfeng Tower's snacks were.

Half an hour later, the group left Chunfeng Tower in a logical way. The Empress, Second Princess Consort, and Chu Hua left in their own carriages.

One of the four royal guards following the empress slowly retreated and returned to Furongmian.

He carefully checked the entire suite for a long time. Finding nothing unusual, he left.

On the other side, Chu Hua successfully returned to Qianhuaju, changed clothes, and washed up under Qingzhu's service.

Qingzhu took out a palm-sized notebook from the official robe she had changed out of. There was a small charcoal pencil tied to the side of the notebook. The charcoal pencil seemed to have written a lot of words and was a little short.

"Miss, do you want to change a charcoal pencil?"

Chu Hua: "No need."

Qingzhu put it down, "Yes."

That was the small notebook Chu Hua used to record inspiration for the storybook. She would write down what she thought of occasionally. Without permission, Qingzhu and the others would not peek privately.

Hongmei came in with a bowl of bird's nest, "Miss, do you want to drink bird's nest?"

"Okay." Chu Hua drank the bird's nest slowly.

The system screamed wildly in her ear: [How can this be? ! How can I make such a mistake? ! ]

[No wonder! I was wondering why the melon energy was consumed so quickly. It turned out that I accidentally turned on the sharing function. Every time I talk to you, I don't need melon energy, but I need it when sharing with them. ]

[No wonder when I let you look at the search page and Shizhan Jiao's photos, which were one or two seconds long, actually consumed so much melon energy. It turned out that it was shared with everyone within a range of 50 meters at the same time! How could this not be expensive? ! ]

The system was so angry that it was about to jump up and down. Qingzhu and Hongmei didn't react at all, as if they didn't hear anything at all.

In fact, they really couldn't hear it, because the system had turned off the sharing function after discovering its own error. Now only Chu Hua could hear it.

More than half an hour ago, in the private room of Furongmian, Chu Hua asked Cai Gang to guard the door and asked Jia Yi to order a pot of tea and some snacks.

When she was alone in the private room, she used the small notebook and charcoal pencil she carried with her to make a simple written communication with the system.

System, look at this, don't make a sound.

Just eat melons normally, be careful not to be exposed.

Is it possible that our conversation was heard by others?

The empress and others seemed to have heard it.

Since her conversation with the system was continuing, Cai Gang did not suspect anything, so he didn’t insist to be in the room.

At that time, Chu Hua's words scared the system half to death. It cooperated with Chu Hua to muddle through the situation at that time and kept checking itself afterwards.

It read the rules and regulations of the melon-eating system from beginning to end, and checked all the functions it enabled. Only then it knew where the problem was.

Chu Hua said while drinking bird's nest: [In other words, from the moment I bound you, all the melons we ate were heard by others? ]

The system did something wrong, so its answer was very weak: [Yes. Elder Sister Hua, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. ]

Chu Hua certainly knew that the little guy was just a small system that had just been produced. It had no experience, so it was normal to make mistakes.

Besides...

Chu Hua: [Have a look now. In addition to the two royal guards in the yard, do we have other royal guards in our house? ]

The system went to check: [Hey, there are really some! There are twenty or so. ]

[Oh, they appeared on the first I bound with you and copied all our conversations and sent them to the emperor and all officials. ]

[Eating melons is fine, but did they have to transcript my exam questions and complaints? Their hands must be broken, right? Hahaha, they even record my laughs, it's so funny! ]

[At first, they were royal guards, but later they couldn't keep up, so they had to change people frequently. When you were working at the Ministry of Revenue, eunuchs were used. Here are royal guards. Recording our conversations is one purpose, but more importantly, it's to protect you. ]

Chu Hua: "Heh."

There were two in public, and ten times more in secret. The emperor was afraid that she would die quietly.

It seemed that the emperor and the officials knew that the system would leave after her death and made this decision.

It turned out that Jia Yi and Cai Gang came at that time.

Qingzhu and Hongmei looked at Chu Hua, who could still laugh from drinking bird's nest and were confused: was today's bird's nest particularly delicious?

The system didn't understand: [Elder Sister Hua? ]

Chu Hua said with a smile: [I was wondering why the emperor suddenly promoted me and transferred me to the Ministry of Revenue.]

The system responded quickly this time: [The promotion was to make you attend court every day, and the transfer to the Ministry of Revenue was for my embezzlement melon?]

Then it didn't quite understand, [But even if you don't attend court, we can eat melons at home. Don't we have royal guards to upload the melons? It doesn't matter where we are, right?]

Chu Hua: [There are a few possibilities. One is that it's more fun to eat melons on the spot and the second is that they don't want me to go somewhere else.]

[Just like today, the empress came to find me to go to Chunfeng Tower, and Second Princess Consort also came. They made double insurance. They are afraid that our secrets would be known by more people.]

[The third is to conduct drills in advance to prevent me from having a sudden whim to go to places with too many people. At that time, the royal guards would be caught off guard and it would be difficult to arrange.]

[Also... after knowing the Empress and Second Princess Consort, it would save more melon energy to eat melons from the harem and the Xirong spies. ]

System: [Then I'll turn off sharing, so they can't get the melon! ]

Chu Hua: [Isn't that the same as telling them I already know? ]

System thought for a while: [Then let's agree on a code. When you want them to know, I’ll open sharing, and when you don't want them to know, use private chat. ]

[For example, when you want to open sharing, call me System-er, and when you don't want to, call me System. ]

Chu Hua put down the bird's nest that she had finished drinking and wiped her mouth: [Too obvious. How about this, we'll always be in private chat mode, and open it when I want them to know, and we'll act together. ]

Wasn't it just being a drama queen? It was familiar with this!

System rubbed its hands expectantly: [Great! ]

Chu Hua: [As a punishment for them hiding it from us for so many days, today we'll turn them upside down. ]

The system got excited when it heard the tone of a troublemaker: [Okay, okay, Elder Sister Hua, you tell me what to do, I'll definitely cooperate! ]

Taking the initiative to make trouble and create melons, the more people were affected, the larger the scope of the impact, the greater the impact, and the more melon energy it could get.

It was much more melon energy than the one that it could get by doing the imperial examination questions late at night!

Chu Hua explained this and that and the system remembered it firmly, not daring to forget a word.

After dinner, Chu Hua entered the laboratory that Qianhuaju had spent three days to arrange.

It contained the flasks, beakers, culture dishes and other experimental equipment that she asked the glass factory to urgently make. The crude thermometer was not very accurate. The conditions of the laboratory were very simple.

Autumn was the season for eating oranges. The whole Chu Family ate oranges and had accumulated a pile of orange peels.

The laboratory had underground heating burned day and night to maintain the temperature at about 25 degrees and a basin of water was placed to maintain humidity.

If the fresh orange peels were left here for a few more days, many small hairs would grow on the side with the orange peels. When it turns green, it was Penicillium.

Chu Hua did not graduate from microbiology. She was a chemist in her previous life. She learned about penicillin because she knew that the mold on the surface of rotten oranges was penicillin, so she went to investigate out of curiosity.

She didn't know if the temperature and humidity were correct, nor did she know whether penicillin could be produced in this way, and whether it could be used if produced. She could only experiment and try tirelessly.

Hopefully, it could be done before the oranges were out of season, otherwise she could only go around looking for the old mustard pickles that have been placed in the corner for many years and have not been thrown away and have completely turned into water.

That was the earliest edible penicillin.

It was just that the possibility of finding it was not high, so Chu Hua experimented it herself while asking someone to look for it.

Placing the first batch of orange peels for the experiment in blocks according to temperature zones and confirming that there were no problems in every aspect, Chu Hua returned to the room.

[System, making penicillin is too expensive, I'm a little sad. ]

System: [Then... let's eat a few melons to cheer ourselves up? ]

Chu Hua: [I'm a little tired of eating green hat melons. ]

System: [I ate a lot of corrupt officials melons in the Ministry of Revenue during the day. ]

Chu Hua: [Are there any big melons that combine corrupt officials, murder, bribery, high officials and other factors? ]

The system waited for a long time and took out the big melon that was prepared early: [Of course there are! Ding ding ding ding, let's eat a super big melon today! ]

[The emperor's younger brother, King An, is the youngest son of the late emperor and the son of the late emperor’s white moonlight who birthed him with much difficulty. He had been doted since young. The late emperor allowed him to choose a rich fiefdom and he chose Zhou Prefecture, the richest place in Jiangnan. Since then, more than half of Zhouzhou's annual taxes have fallen into King An's pocket. ]

Chu Hua: [Hiss - the emperor doesn't care? ]

People of the Chu Family and royal guard: Hiss - King An was so rampant!

System: [The emperor wants to care, but White Moonlight asked for the imperial edict from the late emperor before his death. Now it was the late emperor's will; unless King An rebels, the emperor can't do anything to him. ]

[He is the local emperor of Zhou Prefecture. Everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation is in accordance with the emperor's standards. The emperor sent royal guards to check, but he had secret guards given by the previous emperor. Each batches that went died. ]

[The emperor can't intervene, so he became more arrogant. He held a beauty pageant every three years and took beautiful girls home when he saw them. He even took married girls away. He beat the husband of a Juren to death and raped the girl in front of her dying husband. The husband was so angry that he died and died with his eyes open. ]

[The girl was less than three months pregnant at the time. Her husband died and her unborn child was gone. Her parents-in-law went to the government office to complain and were beaten to death by the yamen runners. In despair, the girl hanged herself in the wedding dress she embroidered with her husband. ]

[Afterwards, King An heard that women who hanged themselves in red would become evil spirits and come back for revenge, so he ordered people to dismember their bodies to suppress it. The means were extremely cruel. ]

Chu Hua's fists hardened: [If this idiot King An falls into my hands, I would definitely give him a kick that would cut off his offspring! ]

System nodded fiercely: [That's right! ]

Chu Family's people: "..."

Royal guard: "..."

Many men felt a chill in their crotches and still expressed: For a beast like King An, a few kicks are not enough!

System: [Moreover, this girl... was the real princess who was abandoned in a brothel by Wang Jieyu and later given away by the brothel madam and was raised by an old and childless couple selling tofu. ]

Chu Family's people: !!!

Royal guard: !!!
